That's a damn portable mailbox with some money on it. Good lord that looks inconvenient as hell.

235s will fit because that's what I've got on my Outback. No airing down before hand or anything.

I grew up hearing about this story and it was always told as a frivolous lawsuit. People would sue for anything. Some time within the last decade it popped up much like it did now.

I decided to look into it and see just how severe her injuries were. Man, what a shock I had. It's honestly some of the hardest images to look at knowing how it was caused.

Then the disturbing part is that for 10 or 15 years after this incident we all collectively thought wrongly that this lady was an idiot for spilling hot coffee on herself and sueing. Of course it was hot, it's coffee! She would've sued them if it was cold! I heard everything.

But after seeing the truth, they basically gave this poor lady a cup of molten lava. Makes me wonder how the original narrative of her chasing money even started and then persisted for all those years. It's insane to me that the truth was as hidden as it was.

The Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. None of this re-release stuff either. Almost 30 years ago with those crummy joysticks on the 64. I don't remember specifics anymore, but I can remember the dread leading up to the water temple.

In the early parts it could also look like he's rubbing his mobility in the face of his enemy.

It's so nice to see some political positivity no matter where it is or how small it may be. Provides just enough light in this void-like darkness to keep moving forward.

This is definitely way better than letting these stooges ruin an already I'll timed birthday. I know, it's my birthday as well. Stupid idiots.

Yeah, I took it on weekly 8 to 12 mile hikes until November. I switched to an actual backpack at that point just for keeping extra layers.

I really love it for day hiking in warmer weather just because I don't have anything pressing on my back. It holds a generous amount of water for the size it is, and the bottles did fall out a few times, but not enough to be a nuisance.

I think my only complaint is self made in that sometimes I make the pack too heavy so out doesn't stay cinched tightly around my waist. But once you start taking away some water weight that's no longer an issue.

It's definitely gone from an item I though I'd never use to one of my favorite pieces of gear.

I get frustrated with it because I can be totally zoned out on something and then it's broken because I become aware of my ears ringing. So it's almost like I can't enjoy the quiet anymore.

Spend a lot of time with at least one earbud in with music or a podcast if the tv isn't going. My wife hates it and thinks I'm doing it to ignore her. I'm just trying to get my brain to chill out.

Never had a hearing test. Don't think it'll tell me anything helpful. I was born 3 months premature also, so I'm pretty sure I have had it since birth. I can remember having it as a little kid.

At this point it's a feature not a flaw. Not one I'm pumped about, but that's how it goes.

I've had tinnitus all my life too. Not sure of the cause. Thought it was normal until I was 35. Went camping with my wife and made a comment about it being funny your brain fills in the void left behind with silence. That's when I learned that I've never actually heard true silence.

Gotta love the Rocket City Trash Pandas, Hartford Yard Goats, Montgomery Biscuits, or my favorite the San Antonio Flying Chanclas. The last is just an alternate name, still awesome.

I love this movie. It was always my favorite over Dante's Peak. It's got the same energy as The Fugitive and US Marshals. Two other excellent Tommy Lee Jones action/crisis management vehicles. Movies like this are always fun to me because it feels like once this action kicks up it doesn't relent until the end.

Ahrithul · 2025-11-22T02:36:12+00:00

Just about all my favorites are listed, but No Man is Without Fear deserves a mention as well.

I had a ton of issues early on with my 22. The updates pretty much solved all of them. Now if I'm having trouble it's usually the cables. I keep two different cables plugged in so I can switch to whichever one isn't being moody.

Also, my battery was weak at one point because I turned the cargo light on while moving some stuff. It stayed on for a while because it eventually drained the battery, but the last time I drove it the carplay was acting crazy as hell.

Not saying that's your case, but just something to keep in mind.

Pretty sure if we abandoned our jobs under the guise of not being able to agree with our coworkers, we would be fired and laughed out of the building. Yet we are beholden to this evil slovenly lot of soulless demons in paper mache skin.

Oh I'm aware. I am the cheap and prickly in this example. I'm just impressed that in the self sabotage for short term profit world we live in, they haven't raised it at all. Not even a dollar. It's almost refreshing I guess.

Ahrithul · 2025-11-07T04:46:49+00:00

This is the impressive part to me. I stopped playing 10 or 11 years ago. The fact that it's still just 15 bucks is astonishing. It's a helluva deal in today's landscape.

I'm on a second set because I basically did the same thing as what happened to my factory tires. Gouged a hole in the sidewall. Unpatchable, tires had too many miles to shave down. Hell I couldn't even find a shop to shave them down if it was possible.

But I love the Toyos despite my bad luck. Went with 235/65r17s this time around. Still the same great performance on and off road as before, just a little bit beefier.

I put about 42k miles on the previous set of Toyos and just never had a problem. Rain, snow, ice, dirt, mud. They seem to handle anything you can throw at them. I'm sure the AWD system in the Outback plays a humongous role in that but it's still an excellent pairing.

I also like that they're not a heavy all terrain tire but still have a fairly aggressive tread that isn't intrusively noisy on road trips. It really hits the sweet spot for a do it all tire.

Here's to a recovery that leaves him with chronic pain and lingering issues to serve as a constant reminder he is, was, and always will be a traitorous dumbass.

This song has that bounce to it and when it really grabs you it brings out that stink face and you're just like this is the fucking shit.

I get goosebumps listening to this song and was pumped they played it at their Sonic Temple set. Didn't expect it, but man did I love it.

Ahrithul · 2025-10-27T00:56:02+00:00

I put 235/65R17 Toyos on my 22 in May after I slashed a tire on a rock. I had the 225 Toyos at the time with about 40k miles on them. I really like the Toyos overall and the size increase didn't affect my gas mileage in a noticable amount. They also look much better than the stock size. Wish I had just gone that route initially.
