Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

In all seriousness, good reversing cameras and parking sensors.

The last honest to god thing that just made cars better.

Theres always someone who does the math for me and I appreciate you.

I was thinking "90,000 tons is a LOT, But swiming pools are also a massive volume and nuclear material is very dense... hmmmm"

Because America already doesnt give a fuck about dead kids. Sandy Hook proved that.

This one doesnt rate for me.

You can throw a loosely packed snowball in a fun way and you can throw a compressed af snowball with intent to cause harm.

Show me the video because without evidence this could be anywhere from "stupid cop with stupid hurt feefees" to "Bruh you nailed a cop with a 88mph fastball for funsies, the fuck did you think was gonna happen?"

RFK made pregnant women (you know, famously rational and not emotionally driven at all) afraid of one of the safest medications going and for what? You cant blame pregnant women for thinking "What if this is the time he is right?" when deciding not to out up with a slight headache could put their babies long term development potentially at risk.

In all honesty single player GT7 is pretty much a training ground and sandbox for going online for real races. Which is fine if thats what you're there for but would probably piss you off if you werent.

Money does become a limiting factor once you start trying to complete the car collection menus or make sure you always have the meta car for the daily races.

Ok yeah I feel you, I do miss that to a degree.

Some of the single player is still pretty challenging until you figure out how to cheese the AI. Running race hard tyres and a super lean fuel map so that I'm 2 seconds a lap slower than the fastest car but dont have to take 45 seconds to pit in a 10 lap race.

As a member of the insulative layer of management between the floor and the corporate asshats I have to speak the language.

This translates to "Get the most no nonsense worker from every department up here, lets compare what they think we can do in a perfect world vs reality and have a look at what we can do to make the numbers look like what our bosses bosses boss wants to see, without cutting anyones hours or working any harder."

The non PP limited races are a joke, IMO those should have the payout linked to the PP of the car. You take a 450 into a 550 race, double payout. Take a 650 in, half payout. Also maybe dont call it PP because it makes talking about it sound like a dick joke.

IMO if you turn the difficulty up to hard and turn all the drivers aids off its plenty challenging for people new to sim racing, I see how veterans might find it a bit simple.

Gran Turismo 7 was the worst offender I've had in a long time. It was very pretty and very well put together but it just wasnt fun.

But a few years later and a YT rabbit hole or two and I decided to give it a go on a very basic simrig setup and... yep, theres the fun.

They can hate the Ayatollah AND the US at the same time.

You know what people also historically hate? People coming and making changes for them for their own good.

 

I realised today that I cannot actually remember the last time I felt relaxed. I'm so fucking tired.

 

The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have "boomer humor" whats the short term for "Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand"

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

 

Ive been looking into what I can put together for the price I can get a Samsung q990f system for and this reciever seems to do everything I want and it has the benefit of being cheapish.

Essentially I want to watch 4k blurays on a 4k tv with good surround sound. I love the "one box, minimal wires, no legwork" nature of the Samsung. That has value to me. BUT its not quite as good and if something in the bar goes dead, the whole setup is pretty much garbage. So I'm exploring my options.

Second hand receivers that arent 15 years old are still demanding half of what that receiver costs me new, and it seems to have everything that someone setting up a budget 4k 5.1 home theater could want. So, thoughts?

 

Ok, I need an honest, no BS assessment on how a Samsung q990d system will compare to a cheap 5.1 (or 7.1 etc) system.

I can get a q990d for $1400aud which includes rear speakers and a sub. Will connest with the samsung tv and its all just ready to go out of the box.

Surround sound setups range from free to $40,000... of course a well thought out setup will be better but I just want to hear the cars overtaking me when I watch Ford Vs Ferarri.

For the "sub 2k" price bracket. As a novice, how much am I leaving on the table really?

 
 

You still look a bit of a dick, but so much less bad now.

 
 

17x7.5,, has a made in england stamping but no definitive stampings for pcd, offset or centerbore. Look like RS Cosworth wheels but arent. Has a retaining bolt hole for the flat bolt hole cover (which I'll post in another comment, which matches some 90s ford wheels) owner says they came off a Peugeot but my fellow french car enthusiasts say they definitely arent an OE Peugeot wheel.

 

Yes, Its a Nazi salute. I just didnt want to load the question.

 

 

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.
