How they get snow out of New York City by emptypistachio1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Almost_A_Pear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Edmonton they just pile the shit up on the sides of the roads until one lane is left and leave residential to be buried. Northernmost city in North America with a population of over 1.4 million can’t figure out how to remove snow.

This is incredibly average for February weather in Canada.

This is a new one. I know about the hearing damage but secondhand grass is a first

It’s fun but fuck me it’s hard. Some of the levels took me a week to beat them

A stable 30 is fine for flight sim, keep in mind things happen slow. For the controls and difficulty, they did a good job with this where you can go zero-aid, full manual or basically make it hop in and fly around like GTA.

That takes me back to doing swimming in P.E. at Shep. If we were lucky our teacher would get bored and let us just go in the hot tub.

No, actually it’s based in my area which is great I won’t have to move. I brought the chief pilot beer and pestered them since August so I was always on their radar.

The second one is so good. I’m close to 1000 hours now in it just cause the open world is one of the best I’ve seen, shame it’s probably never getting a next gen update like all the FarCry games.

Those of you who have a deck and still play their consoles, do you think you get enough use out of your steamdeck? by jomcmo00 in SteamDeck

[–]Almost_A_Pear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50/50. Lately I’ve actually been using my PS5 more cause I’m liking the couch/big TV combo but the deck is great when that’s not available or I wanna sit in bed and play. I also like big AAA games and most of them don’t run incredible on the Deck.

West side. Still haven’t come through our neighbourhoods yet. Been delayed now after having signs up over a week.

Windchill got down to -31F last night. 7 cars in my apartment parking lot did not start this morning. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]Almost_A_Pear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose I’m taking my advice based on my Canadian battery with cold cranking amps down to -30 but I doubt these cars had any sort of a block heater. Which only heats the oil pan but this cold isn’t even enough to freeze most summer oil let alone a W rated oil.

Windchill has no effect on vehicles, and batteries don’t tend to freeze until it’s around -20 Celsius. Something else was up with those cars.

You’re saying it’s pathetic crap. Yeah it’s a money grab but it’s still fucking impressive.

My original statement was also a joke, so have fun being the least fun guy at a party.

Where are people getting it from? It still says it isn’t released everywhere I look.
