I drive a hot hatch and purchased aftermarket jacking rails for it. The rails are two long pieces of steel that I bolted underneath the car to distribute weight. I can jack the car up from anywhere along those rails.

Alternatively there are also jack pads you can buy for pinch welds. It’s just a block that you set on top of your jack. As you raise it to the point of the pinch welds, the jack pads surrounds it and helps distribute weight and support the car better.

LOL the investment pays for itself. Surely it will work next time!

Drat, I failed us here! I forgot to invoke the sacred spells!

If this dude registered as a Sovereign Citizen, he would have been fine!

I’ll show you:

Police: “What’s in the bag? Does that say ‘no drugs’ on it??”

SovCit: “I never entered into a contract with you!”

Police: Snatches bag and starts digging.

SovCit: “Neither the individual nor the STRAW MAN contracted with —- please stop!”

Police: Tackles SovCit

SovCit: “I swear this bag is not from the TRUSTEE or the STRAW MAN. It ain’t my bag. Do you have a claim against me because I’m — bro, maritime laws!!”

Hmm… I guess this doesn’t work out after all.

Got it. If you have information points upstream for these types of situations that the Admin team already actions, then there's no point building on top of it to extend stale un-actioned moderator reports to larger teams. Considering the admin team is large here, it may not make sense to spend the cycles to enhance it further.

Excellent news! It’s good to hear you’ve designed a workaround to help for outstanding stale reports. Keeping up with moderation is tough.

One thing is unclear to me (and perhaps because I’m still bleary-eyed from sleep), but do these stale open moderator reports go to the assigned Community Mods only? If they persist without action for some time, would they be extended to other mods or admins?

There it is! The Legend! Thank you for sharing this, it made me laugh so hard back in the day!

This occurred somewhere in mid 2000-2010 I can’t remember. Tom Cruise was promoting his movie Mission Impossible 3 and was also dating Katie Holmes at the time. I don’t remember the interview much, but he was so excited and in love with her that he was jumping on the couch in excitement and exhibiting this weird energy. At one point he even grabbed Oprah’s hands and was shaking her too in the excitement for his love. I only remember that part vividly because there was a popular animated GIF back in the day where someone edited it so it looked like he was shocking her with Sith lightning, like how Palpatine shocked Mace Windu.

Republican Party: “Is it possible to learn this power?”

Very good, sir. This explanation seems air tight to me.

Ha, I’m also a member of the official Old myself! Pokémon was my childhood when it came out 30 years ago, so I’m a more junior member than you

You don’t come back from death? Oh yeah?! Then explain Pokémon The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back!

Mew and Mewtwo are fighting and Ash jumps in between them because he doesn’t want them to fight. They kill him and bro falls to the ground and turns to stone. Then Pikachu tries to wake him up with slaps and thunder shocks, but fails to wake him up as Pikachu breaks out into tears. All the other Pokémon witnessing this start crying over Ash’s courageous sacrifice and Pikachu’s loss, that their tears fly away or whatever, and those tears flow into Ash’s body. He then turns back to flesh and he’s like, “Yo I’m alive and that hurt, but I’m alright.”

“I thought you weren’t going to fact check us.”

On the last page, you’ll find an installation CD for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and the activation code written in sharpie. There’s another CD for a cracked install of Macromedia Fireworks. Both are Memorex CD-R.

For my PC I prefer headphones for the immersion. When on the Steam Deck, I use in ear buds. I have a handful of Apple ear pods I’ve amassed over the years that I’ll use when I’m trying to get some quick gaming in. If I get a chance to really sit down and game for an hour or more, I use my JBL Quantum TWS with the USB C receiver. Total immersion, excellent sound quality, noise canceling, and incredible latency. Battery life could always be better, but they’ll comfortably get me through a solid gaming session on the Deck.

I don’t use the speakers on my Deck at all. I probably should play some games with it and see how I like it.

Get the original on GOG without DRM or forced PSN.

Dobby: gets socks “Dobby is free!”

Potter: proceeds to laugh, enjoying Dobby’s glee from enslavement liberation

Dobby: “…U havin a giggle there m8? I’ll bash ur fookin’ head in, I swear on me mum. Push my chest to TRY ME.”

Don’t buy from them. They don’t seem vetted.

Here are alternative known good sellers that also offer great discounts:

• Humble Bundle
• Green Man Gaming
• Fanatical
• Game Billet

There are others that are legitimate.

Avoid places like the site you listed, and also these ones especially:

• G2A
• Kinguin

If you buy from Eneba, G2A, Kinguin, etc. you may be fine. However, there’s risk that you may not be fine and have a key that was purchased via a scam or stolen credit card. Then that game which is linked to you can be deactivated from your Steam account, possible Steam account ban, etc. Don’t buy from them because you just don’t know where that key may have come from.

Nintendo isn’t popular right now in Lemmy due to their hostility toward emulators. Recently Ryujinx was forced to shutdown, and browsing around in the other gaming communities, posts and comments about gamers no longer buying Nintendo are getting upvoted.

So I think moving forward you may be seeing lots of downvotes on any Nintendo post anyone makes, specifically from users that browse by All.

Edit: I also forgot about Horizon. Sony is in the hot seat as well with their forced PSN network login hostility for PC games. And quite recently, Sony removed the original Horizon Zero Dawn game from store fronts (apart from GOG) and are forcing customers to buy the Remastered game for more money and the forced PSN login. Gamers are outraged about a game from 2017 getting remastered along with the PSN network requirement, so anything about Horizon will also face lots of downvotes.
