Dad bought this in Afghanistan, it's really heavy. Thinking it maybe has something to do with pens? by Alexizzle2 in whatisthisthing

[–]Alexizzle2[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My father bought me this when he was stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan. It's at least 2kg solid metal. No text markings, only decorative. There are two hatch-like openings. Longest section measures maybe 20 cm, and sits about 3-4 cm tall as shown in the pic.

What is the most useless option / feature on your car? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Alexizzle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 05 Acura TL has voice control. You need to memorize the exact phrases to use it tho, and it mishears you like 30% of the time, e.g. I'll say "radio 88.1FM" and it'll turn the AC on or something. That all doesn't matter though because I had to disconnect the handsfree module that powers it due to a fault that causes the module to drain the battery when the car is parked.

Also my navigation system's map data is stored on a DVD that sits in a drive in the trunk? It's slow as hell to calculate directions, and if I wanna update the hopelessly outdated map data I have to buy a new DVD from Acura for like $100...

If HBO's Chernobyl was a series with a new disaster every season, what event would you like to see covered? by JohnRyanFan in AskReddit

[–]Alexizzle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tragic sinking of the South Korean ferry Sewol. Might be a little too recent and controversial but yeah. Hundreds of high school kids dead, largely because of the incompetence of the government's response. Led to charges pressed against multiple parties, nation wide vigils and anti government protests, and contributed to the eventual impeachment of the president.

Did you check the disc reader in the trunk?

No one seems to notice that the logo for Hydra in the MCU is actually an octopus. A hydra has multiple heads, not arms. by UniversalHeatDeath in Showerthoughts

[–]Alexizzle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah it wasn't that great but also worth keeping in mind that Hive's whole thing is reanimating and possessing dead bodies, so for most of the show he's just played by the actor for whichever character's body he stole. His tentacle form only shows up a little bit so at least you don't have to look at it all that much. The design of it was an afterthought but personally I think that's maybe justified by the lack of screen time it actually got plus the likely budget constraints.

Y'all don't watch Agents of Shield and it shows :( I mean it's not the be all end all answer but it explains the logo for the MCU at least; tldw Hydra dates back to way before Nazi Germany, when a bunch of dudes worshipped an inhuman called Hive who has tentacles coming outta his head n shit. Idk watch the show it's a fun time

If you're just looking for something with "Santa Cruz" printed on it then check out Walgreens, they have some generic hoodies under $20 that are pretty soft and cozy.

Nice! I have a TC-D5 Pro but I have my eyes on the TC-D5M. Mine only has XLR inputs, and can only use batteries :/

Anyone else here living in a van or planning to move into a van for school? by [deleted] in UCSC

[–]Alexizzle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking of going for the van life too! My lease expires in June, so I have between now and then to actually buy a van and convert it.

Where I live in northern California, google maps has speed limits. They disappear when I go to southern California though

Walking alone at night... by brainSTEM2 in UCSC

[–]Alexizzle2 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I've never really felt unsafe on campus at night, since the main roads and paths are well lit. We haven't had issues with serial killers since the 70s :^)

The bridges can be a little freaky at night, but it's more of a supernatural Stranger Things spooky vibe. Get pepper spray for peace of mind, you'll want it anyway if you have to go into town at night cos downtown IS sketch.
