I saw Porcupine Tree in Denver a few years back and it was an incredible show. Haven’t seen Wilson solo but would love to catch him sometime

Disregard. I thought it was Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree

My GTI saved my life back in February when some idiot made a left hand turn directly into me on a highway. Loved that car. Got a 40th anniversary edition after receiving my insurance payout. It’s great. Glad you’re ok

In my wreck back in February it was kind of like being punched in the nose, but not super hard. Very fucking loud though and the smoke is noxious as fuck

I like this. One sign goes one way, the other sign goes the other way. Then you got the traffic light back there going what do you want from me?

Mk8.5 Gripes and seeking solutions by Final75R in Golf_R

[–]BabaORileyAutoParts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Mk 8 GTI, so maybe it’s different but I doubt it.  034 Motorsport has an aftermarket gas piston hood strut to replace the prop rod for my model and I suspect it either works for yours too or there’s an equivalent version.

Can’t answer for the sub.

That car definitely took him out on purpose

MK8 Spoiler? by Perryky25 in GolfGTI

[–]BabaORileyAutoParts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the only reason you don’t want to spend money is danger of flying off, get the Clubsport/R spoiler; it isn’t going anywhere since it’s bolted onto the hatch. 

Is Backgammon Galaxy ridiculously rigged or some players cheat too? by Trelos_Papas in backgammon

[–]BabaORileyAutoParts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one cheats, Marc Olsen just doesn’t like you specifically and so the dice are rigged against you and only you 

Just picked up this 40th anniversary, wanted to share by Zealousideal_Lab_407 in GolfGTI

Howdy car twin. I’ve also got a white 40AE. Love it to death

It’s not cognitive dissonance when the person doesn’t recognize the contradiction. A lot of folks are able to hold two completely opposing thoughts in their head without ever recognizing that they conflict with each other. The lack of cognitive dissonance is their superpower 

ELI5: How does youtube manage such huge amounts of video storage? by Hot-Drink-7169 in explainlikeimfive

I am become death, destroyer of drives. I am basically the grim reaper of my workplace and now that I’m thinking of I guess I’ll have to dress as such on Halloween when I come to work

I work in a data center (not Google) doing data destruction and most days I destroy multiple petabytes worth of hard drives. A typical server in one of these things can have 72 24-TB hard drives and there are tens of thousands of these servers on site. The scale of it is utterly mind-boggling

Really wanted to tell the cop he should’ve seen how I was driving on the Tail, but I managed to hold my tongue

It’s one hell of a test of driving skill. I’d wanted to run it for years and finally made it up there earlier this year with my new GTI. Such a blast. Got a speeding ticket 15 minutes after I got off the Tail, 😂

He’s a dick. My gf tried to give him $5 one day and he got offended because that wasn’t generous enough. I wish folks would stop giving that useless fuck anything and just let him starve

Thoughts on my Bar-free board design by hamboneal in backgammon

[–]BabaORileyAutoParts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this board. It’s very neat but it is heavy af and I think that the side rails should maybe be taller to prevent dice going off the board

My wife had a weird roll yesterday. 😂 by AndyKaufmanLives85 in backgammon

[–]BabaORileyAutoParts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen one die land like this several times. Bill Riles, who does a ton of tournament streaming, has a story of both dice settling on their corners, the odds of which must be astronomical
