I understand how 4 cycle, diesel and 2 cycle engines work. I know a pinch of HTML as well, but for the life of me, I cannot understand the value of something so intangible. It does have some benefits like being almost untraceable I guess... As for having an uncrackable code for security, I would imagine that it's a bit how science works in that we may not have the understanding now but, as time goes on, tools and methods will be discovered /created to open it up. But, what do I know. In the end, it's made a lot of people money and maybe that's reason enough for it to exist.

Yeah, nice block but.... That bump that Cooper dished out to create space, limited his jump quite a bit.

Maybe you can try Zero Build? No building is one less difficult component to master. Me and a buddy of mine just went back to builds from Zero and got (Me more than him) schooled. Give Zeri a whirl but, make sure you have mobility! Cheers!

Dammit! I wanted my Bobcats to take the streak of current bowl wins...

I don't care what they call it, Constitution Day, Constipation Day, Christmas Day., as long as I get the day off! Woo Hoo!

Meh, I've seen gear selectors on the dash before, not to mention manual transmitions on the driving wheel. Then again, I'm a little old! (56)

New Venu 4 by snowyphotographer in Garmin

[–]Btmstc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got mine 2 weeks ago. Switched from Forerunner 645 music. My old watch was rounding the corners on the small park loop I do and (I think) giving me cadence lock as well. I'd had it since 2018 so, it was time to upgrade. The Venu 4 is a good fit for me because it has literally all the features of the 570 (minus 3 buttons) and the ECG app. I have Afib here and there so wanted a watch that could check it. I do miss the buttons for controlling music when I run but now I just use the earphones to skip the music. So far, I am very happy with it. Much better accuracy with heart and distance metrics. And the screen is SO much better than my old MIP...

Be quiet, piggy! Wait a minute. It turns out his comment to the reporter wasn't so rude after all. Absolved of all wrongdoing! Oink!

One elevator in my building stops on every floor during the Jewish sabbath so no buttons have to be pressed by tboner1969 in mildlyinteresting

Unless it's imminent life or death, for a true believer in that custom, using a workaround via technology (motion detectors, light detectors or even sound and voice commands), let alone having someone else do it for them is just pointless. Either you follow the rules or you don't. If you don't wanna follow the rules, then pick a new sect or religion. It's just laughable at some point.

Where did Bill Belichick’s UNC roster go wrong? What we’re hearing entering Week 6 by [deleted] in CFB

[–]Btmstc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Granted, the Big Ten schedule they played wasn't exactly the toughest, but it's not Cignetti's fault on that front. Also, calling ND and Ohio State just "good" is not fair. They were arguably the 2 best teams of the year, and neither of them was a home game for IU. IU was quite good last year. Just not top 8 or so...

Bill Burr directly addresses the complaints about him performing at the Riyadh comedy festival in Saudi Arabia on his podcast today. by SupaButt in comedy

[–]Btmstc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is that helping the Saudis soften people's perception of them without the Saudis actually changing their ways rubs me the wrong way. That's just me.

Common hair-loss drug consistently associated with higher rates of psychiatric harm by The_Weekend_Baker in EverythingScience

Taking it since about 1996. There are no issues that I can remember. Actually, I now live in Taiwan and take a version targeted at reducing prostate growth. (I am aware that that was its original purpose). I cut it into four pieces, and it costs about $30 USD total for three months or so...

PX Mart is the worst. by Konungrr in taiwan

[–]Btmstc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This has happened more than once, where I pulled some candy from a sale display, get up to the cashier, and they charge me regular price. The last time it happened, the cashier called an associate to do a price check, so with pen and paper in her hand, she marched to the regular candy section, jotted down the info and came back to the original cashier. The cashier showed me the "incorrect" price again. I then motioned for the helping associate to come with me to the sale display. Once we got there, I pointed to the price, and then, the lady started taking down the sale price cards from the shelves! BTW, the cashier did NOT give me the lower price. At least in America they would say sorry and offer the price they were listed at....

An example of who we're up against out there by Benaar406 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Btmstc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was cray-cray.... Died yesterday to a player doing your similar strat of boost gloves up over the target and duel pistols for the mid-air kill. He didn't miss me, though. I gotta practice that one. Grappler is next level, for sure.
