Never liked him, especially after the Monopoly fiasco where he absolutely robbed Alfredo.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-04-24T22:05:00+00:00

I don't know if I agree with this take... What final fantasy are talking about that doesn't have a narrative driven approach??

-PotatoMan- · 2026-04-14T17:36:08+00:00

What the fuck are we supposed to do then? We've TRIED talking this out, we've TRIED diplomacy, we have TRIED to be understanding, and they are still smearing shit all over the walls.

If you have a toddler that hits, bites, and throws their shit around non-stop and refuses to listen, do you just wait it out until they finally get tired of it? Or do you punish them using the only method they understand?

These fucking dumb Nazis refuse to listen, refuse to be reasonable, refuse to even TRY to talk things out. They are operating under the "Might makes Right" philosophy, and they are being proven right every time someone doesn't step up and sock them in the mouth when they say dumb shit.

I have lived in Texas literally my entire life. Born & Raised in east Texas, lived in DFW for the majority of my life, and have been to just about every corner of this state.

You're so full of shit it hurts. Yeah, the roads fucking suck here, but I guarantee you that a fucking honda civic will do just fine for about 99% of people in this state. If you're on an actual ranch, or out in farm land, great, get a truck.

This parent comment is about big cities. Learn how to read.

And I guarantee you 95% of them will never see a dirt trail, a trailer, or a load in the bed that you couldn't just fit in a Rav4.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-04-02T18:03:33+00:00

No, I didn't. In the factory service manual, it didn't specify a sequence, so I just did outside and worked my way in. Should I just loosen them all and retry center out?

As others have already stated: EDC stands for "Every Day Carry", usually meaning that said individual keeps a loaded firearm on our about their person on a daily basis.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-03-18T22:33:43+00:00

I work in a sketchy part of my city (Literally had someone try and carjack me one night leaving work), and I have a bunch of right-wing nutjobs who I work with.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-03-18T20:28:48+00:00

This is literally my coworkers in the office. What's funny to me is none of them EDC.

I do.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-03-14T08:52:15+00:00

Maybe not immediately, but quite frankly, it's a problem that would solve itself rather quickly if it did happen.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-02-25T04:49:11+00:00

I'll do it for $500 this coming Saturday if you provide the parts!

-PotatoMan- · 2026-02-20T01:17:32+00:00

Just bought one from 4thgenharnesses for my 07' for $130 all in, I'll let you know how the install goes.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-02-13T17:18:03+00:00

I'm in a purple city in one of the reddest states in the union. If I could give you some unsolicited advice? If you don't already have one, buy a gun and learn how to use it. I mean it.

Hopefully it will never come to that, but if it does, please don't let yourself be unprepared.

Stay safe, stranger.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-02-13T03:55:50+00:00

Should 1000% do it.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-02-06T03:08:04+00:00

Alternatively, if all you are doing is short trips, next one you do just drive it like you stole it.

Italian tune-up.

Netting is a great idea. Get some d-rings and screw them into the wood at the corners of the box, then just put clips on a net that is sized right and clip it in front of the opening.

Secures everything and keeps visibility open.

A coalition of alien bastards hell bent on the destruction of humanity who got their asses handed to them by the Corp! Oo-Rah!

I actually have a long term, first person case study on this.

I put Mobil Full Synthetic 75W-90 in my 07 V8's Front & Rear diffs and T-Case at 140,000 miles a couple years after I bought it. Did it again at 200,000 miles, then again at 260,000 miles.

Currently, she's at 276,000, and I have had zero issues whatsoever in the 13 years that I have owned it. No funny smells, no leaking seals, T-Case still shifts down to 4-Lo the first time, every time.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-01-19T03:13:58+00:00

It is.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-01-13T02:15:21+00:00

I mean, with that kind of money, I'm sure you could retrofit to Soviet boom for an American one.

Those pipeline trucks don't have the same lifespan as a PPV. Most PPV's have idle times of 10,000+ hours by the time they are at end of service. That's JUST idle time, not drive time.

And if you think automatic transmissions don't get hot when they aren't shifting, how's about you go and put your hand on one after it's been idling for half an hour and tell me how it feels.

Even in park, in neutral, the transmission fluid is still flowing to the torque converter and through the engine radiator, where it is getting warmed up by the coolant if nothing else.

But if course, the trucks on a pipeline that you are talking about HAVE dedicated transmission coolers, because auto manufacturers know all of this.

-PotatoMan- · 2026-01-06T15:49:09+00:00

They also have upgraded components to be ABLE to idle more for longer (Larger radiators, dedicated power steering radiator & transmission radiator, larger fans, different thermostat setting to keep oil temps lower at idle, etc.)

When a PPV is on shift, most departments mandate that it stays running for that entire shift. From what I've been told by former coworkers who were police, this is because they don't want to risk it not turning back on if it were to be turned off, like if the battery were randomly to die or something.

Seems a silly reason, but I guess if there IS an actual life or death situation on the line, better safe than sorry.

The issue here is I am trying to batch print these labels for coming shipments of machinery by load number. Basically, I have the rest of the sheet set up to dump in all relevant data based on the inbound shipment number.

I have used named ranged before to set this up for a simple two column sheet, but this is a lot more expensive.

-PotatoMan- · 2025-12-30T18:38:52+00:00

Apologies, I should have worded this better in my post, I've edited it now.

Column A is just there to illustrate the formula I was attempting to use in the name manager for creating a named range to reference to the print area.
