I don't doubt that rental companies have been squeezed harder and harder on licensing costs specifically to drive them out so the publisher-owned services take over
Oh, for real. Despite being relatively "choked" by emissions compared to its pre-1972 472 ancestor, this thing will gallop right up to highway speeds without a care in the world.
I'm really glad it's the old cast iron Cadillac big block and not the HT series engines that all the 80's cadillacs got. That engine was a hot slow ugly mess.
Land Yacht is fucking right! Thing feels more like you're piloting, not driving. I couldn't be more happy with it.
Obviously it's not a daily...
Hey now, I got 10 .6 mpg on my last tank...
Congrats on making it to Friday. Here's some old American luxury iron.
1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, a recent addition to my collection.
221 inches bumper to bumper, 425ci Cadillac big block V8 fuelled by a standard Rochester Quadrajet and coupled to a TH400 3 speed auto. Floats like a cloud.
It'd be cool if he transitioned to former rep
Absolutely. Don't fuck with electrical.
Probably because it rarely worked in real life! It was especially harder if your party was travelling in the spring. River currents are strong as shit and there's no way even oxen could stand strong enough to keep it from running away during strong spring snowmelt flows.
The idea of a nice club is great but it's probably not something taxpayers should be funding for elected representatives
Oh yeah, she's fine now. She was young and impressionable, wasn't hard to get her used to going back out there in better circumstances.
Devs were too busy trying to add a hardcoded "slur" filter to bother with user QoL features
Flawless statistics!
Yeah I interpreted it as making funny stories out of unfortunate events, not just complaining.
Generally speaking most buildings can be "grandfathered in" under code such that it's perfectly legal to rent as long as the electrical system functions and meets code for the year on which it was built or installed... shitty, but legal.
Depends, generally no. Some supermarkets do as a company policy though and I choose to shop at those that do show per-unit pricing (and are also locally/employee owned)
IRS reporting has entered the chat
Yeah, and I don't subscribe to Ukraine comms mostly for that reason. A quick check of the comm name on a NSFW post makes it pretty easy to filter though
Haha me too
Then the second I see bed it's like "Oh that's nice flops and passes out for 3 hours"
The state and federal free tax-filing software programs will be linked to make tax filing less of a painful experience
Get fucked, intuit!
Though his core beliefs haven’t changed, Conrad said the primary made clear his version of moderate Republican politics doesn’t represent the majority of Republican voters in his rural Lane County district. Just less than 1,400 of the more than 8,000 Republican voters who cast ballots in the 12th Ho...

Using CAD on a curved monitor?
I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.
Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!) I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).
Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

Raspberry Pi launches its IPO
It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

Bug posting images/anything?
Firefox latest on Android 14, web front-end
Images seem to work fine now after the 19.4 upgrade. Except when posting images via direct upload. I've tried to post an image with body description a couple times now to another community and as soon as I hit submit, it just instantly removes the image and doesn't post anything, leaving me on the create post page.
Edit: Pretty sure this is a front end bug as I had to hit submit twice to make this post. When you hit submit it jumps to the top of the page first.
The head of Russia’s Security Council tweeted a thinly veiled threat aimed at the actor on Saturday.

Oregon Primary Election Results - May 21st, 2024
Legend: Candidate Name (party, %of vote)
Vote tallies current as of 12:30am PST, May 22nd 2024 (Due to lower voter turnout in primaries, most ballots are already counted by this time and these totals are unlikely to change significantly by the election certification date.)
Please see title link to the official Secretary of State page for complete and accurate election results.
Statewide Positions Secretary of State: Tobias Read (D, 71%) will run against disgraced state senator (who is barred from running for senate) Dennis Linthicum (R, 65%)
State Treasurer: Elizabeth Steiner (D, 78%) will run against another disgraced state senator who is barred from running, Brian Boquist (R, uncontested)
Attorney General: Dan Rayfield (D, 76%) will run against Will Lathrop (R, 64%)
Other Notable Contested Races: US Representative, 3rd Dist: Current State Rep Maxine Dexter (D, 50.7%) beats out former Multnomah county commissioner Susheela Jayapal (D, 28.5%)
State Representative, 12th Dist: Darin Harbick (R, 82%) beats out current representative Charlie Conrad (R, 18%) for the republican nomination. No other candidates filed for any other party, so Harbick is the de-facto winner of the position. Conrad faced this primary challenge by Harbick due to his Yes vote on HB2002 that created legal protections for abortion rights and transgender care. Conrad was publicly censured and disowned by the state Republican Party due to his vote not toeing the party line. Read more here.
Personally Irksome: State Senate District 28: Diane Linthicum (R, 59%), the wife and co-conspirator of disgraced senator Dennis Linthicum, beats out current Klamath County Commissioner Dave Henslee (R, 41%) for the republican nomination. No other candidates filed for any other party, so Linthicum is the de-facto winner of the position. Mrs. Linthicum has no real world qualifications to be Senator beyond being the husband of the current disgraced Senator, and has all but openly said she is only running to be the mouth of her husband as to bypass the election restrictions.
Space Engineers | Update 1.204 - Signal
Notable core gameplay changes:
- you can now claim authorship of NPC ships after you hack them so that npc pcu limits are correct (and your ownership is also correct)
- destroyed cargo containers now have a temporary storage item that drops with everything in it instead of puking out 750 thousand items and creating a lag bomb
- there is now a communications block that can send chat messages
- there is now ways to wirelessly send actions between grids, a HUGE advancement to automation
This is shaping up to be a fantastic core update. Looking forward to playing it.
What's your go-to "Bang for your Buck" filament brand?
As I'm graduating college in a few weeks, I'll be losing access to my university's free printers and filament. I'm going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff.
Who's your go-to for PLA and ABS/ASA filaments? Those will be my primary print jobs in any serious volume. I know our college's club has had hella problems with random chinese brand filaments not printing consistently but I also don't want to spend $30+ per kg for something like Prusament.
i was gonna make a meme...
and then i got high
(and forgot it lol goddamnit)
happy friday night y'all
i'm already high and boutta blast through a whole blunt in one go, see yall on the other side
