  • Prior to the claim, she asked those she believed to have the authority to verify it. Did they direct her to the proper organizations then? The reactionary statement is that the natives simply did not record such data because it was always part of their life and everyone has stories about their grandparents doing it. There is not enough information here for me to believe this was malicious

  • No no, brights are a fuck-you for having your brights locked on or having swapped bulb types that cannot actually be aimed properly because they fucked with the beam pattern. Or you're using light bars/pods with non-highway optics, in which case, have my brights and my light bar

  • The Far Cry games pretty much always allow a sniper and/or stealth option. Some of the scripted mission sequences can be fast paced, but it's largely open world. If you're not familiar with them, stick to the games with numbers in the titles for starters. Probably not 6. Maybe not 2 this day and age. 3-6 all exist with a particular style in mind.

    Unless you're anti ubisoft

  • Over 15 years driving, here. I use blinkers all the time. I feel weird if I change lanes without a blinker, even if I know for an absolute fact there's no one around me... Or even any that can see me. And I mean, I'll even use it when I do a little road rage for people camping in the passing lane and I pass them on the wrong side, cutting a little close when returning. That being said, a driveway is something I'd make a joke about among friends. It wouldn't make me judge you as a driver. I'd use the rest of your driving as my judgment material.

    My 2 cents on a topic you didn't ask for: Do not hold down the passing lane. It makes me a little irrational, but only with a totally clear line of sight. There's plenty of dumber morons that suck at it, so camping sprinkles a little chaos into the hierarchy of the lanes. It does not matter how your speed compares to the limit.

  • The "unknown participant" is a great term for it. I use it alone on my neighborhood turns, particularly at night, because I can't properly see around the turn. One of them is totally in darkness, situated between street lights. If there's a pedestrian crossing, I'd like to give them a little warning. One of my cars has stellar fog lights and gives ample sideways light though, so I recommend using them under 40mph for turns.

    Over 10 years of driving here.

  • Here, I'll do metric for you on your theory of muscle being equivalent perfect vacuum. I have some similar corelle dishes. The flat measures 10cm across. That's 78. 5cm2 area. Assuming OP lives at sea level, 1atm is 1.033kg/cm2 which puts the total force at over 81kg. This bowl offers no horizontal surfaces to hook fingers under to utilize geometric advantages and is instead entirely dependent on friciton. If your fingertips can squeeze sideways with enough force to pull a smooth, tapered 81kg object without glue, there's a gold bar in a Dubai mall with your name on it.

    4 inches diameter, 12.6in^2, 180lbs for the Americans.

    At some point between 0 and 81kg of force, I'd start worrying about breaking the plate with such little support around the rim. And, as for the impossibility of a perfect vacuum, I'd be easily convinced the bowl could have more than half of the maximum possible pressure differential. A large portion of the interior volume is probably ravioli, minimizing the gas volume. Ravioli are full of water, which means the remainder of gaseous volume in the bowl was probably mostly steam, pushing out the standard air. Steam has an insane compression ratio as it cools and condenses back into water, at about 1700:1. Go watch the video of a tank car imploding from steam condensation.

    I cover my bowls the same way. I always cock the plate to the side for this exact reason. My 1L (4 cup) pyrex bowls with silicone lids can cave 1" if they're allowed to cool for a minute. Steam easily vents from the rim as it's produced but once it starts cooling, the weight of the lid or plate is plenty to get the initial seal

  • A decent guy giving to the right people. Ask them if the US government gave enough monetary relief to the Carolininas after their hurricane last year. At some point later, ask if the government gave enough to New Orleans. They'll flip from saying the mountain folk deserve more but New Orleans is at its own fault for not repairing the levys.

    Or don't ask. You'll get a dumb answer at best, a racist answer at worst. Either way, it's not going to be productive unless your goal is to hate them more.

  • How do you figure suction is very limited? You've never tried to pull a suction cup straight off, have you? I'm not talking about when suction cups have bad sealing surfaces and slowly leak to the point of popping off or peeling suction cups off from a corner, I'm talking applying it to a good surface and then yanking it.

    A shoddy 4.5" suction cup from Harbor Freight is rated at 80lbs carrying capacity for glass, which happens to likely be the same material as the dish (corelle), judging form the thinness. The bowl is probably plastic and had weight on it while these were hot and wet after washing. Please, let me know if you can lift an 80lb dumbell from the end with a single hand with ease.

  • Alright, you're qualified. It just sounded wild that you have a known preferred day for an item I've chosen once in my life. Twice? And I went with an air mattress this time so I'm not sure when I'll actually need to replace it

  • 3-point Seat belts go back to the 60s, disc brakes even earlier, anti lock was the 80s along with crumple zones, wishbone suspension goes back decades (including original Mustang) while being less commonplace now than the peak (90s?) where even BMW has gone with McPherson today. The biggest change in hybrid tech was the switch to lithium cells for appropriate power density, while there's not much else new about electric motors and generators. See: diesel trains actually being diesel-electric. Maybe solid state components making DC voltage stepping feasible. There's not anything actually wrong with drum brakes at this point. Modern pad material is the big thing, being able to withstand much more heat.

    I do not see how you consider those things major changes but not what has developed beyond that.

  • Thanks. I'll take it as a jump off to diversify again. I stuck to joined communities because my feed was getting steamrolled by dumb, socially adverse, or majorly irrelevant communities. My original communities probably also died off, too.

  • Being highly equipped and rated for 2004 standards does not make it highly equipped or rated by 2025 standards. Standards and expectations are constantly changing. That's being disengenius to the fact that all 3 of your perks were not typical in the market at all, not even with options. In 2004, the corvette still had popup headlights, ABS was not required, the IIHS had just introduced the side crash test, the rollover roof crush test did not exist, there was only the 40% frontal overlap test and not the 25% overlap test, the test was not performed on the passenger side at all, the Mustang had not entered the retro phase yet, neither the Challenger nor the Camaro were active nameplates, the 2nd gen Prius, the one everyone knows, was an infant. Just because you witnessed the slow evolution of technology doesn't mean 21 years isn't a massive jump - especially if it's any kind of SUV/crossover since they were just seething into the general public's preference, making rollover a much more serious threat, statistically.

  • I'm a digital age, all of that is converted automatically. Bottom right corner, units option. Even when you find suspicious values like 25.4mm (1.000"), there's so much esoteric sizing out there that it's not a smoking gun. We use 10mm hex sockets on 3/8" square drive ratchets and put 235mm wide tires on 18" diameter wheels across the world.
