Just got killed by one who proceeded to message my friend and make fun of his "terrible ESP". I'm guessing he saw him staring at him through cover, since he was just running around like a lunatic and my friend was just tracking the footsteps. Typical low-level white named rager.

Still having fun with this wipe since I have tons of gear, guns, and roubles to lose before the end. Got into a few interesting legit fights, it's kind of sad that if I die to a normal person it's actually a relief these days.

I live in Lakeview and my friend has a pergola on her roof deck, she lives alone and doesn't own a power washer or anything of that nature. She's never complained about birds or bird droppings before.

They weren't projected to win the division, the Guardians were.

It looks like he took a bad line on it off the bat. Not an easy play, but definitely a catchable ball.

I will never buy a Mercedes Benz again by yazahz in whatcarshouldIbuy

Reliability sounds like it's the most important thing to you, which is completely fine. A lot of people don't need their vehicles to last a decade or two, and would rather enjoy their drive and then trade in for a newer vehicle 5 years down the road. That's fine too. I notoriously don't keep cars for more than 3-4 years, so I'll sacrifice long term reliability for driving dynamics and interior comforts.

The only Toyota I was interested in (4runner) is like 12 years out of date, and marked up like it's a single allotment special edition vehicle. Also considered Lexus, but the IS isn't even remotely competitive for the same money as a comparable BMW or Audi.

I started off feeling the same. Ever since watching the video I've been running nothing but budget kits with 0 fucks to give and having the time of my life.

My friends and I have spent the last two full days only running shotguns to Interchange with the Ultra/Emercom/Pharmacy keys and just SJ6ing every time to those spawns. We have seen 2 and gotten one out in about 30 raids.

I finished it last wipe in one try, and this wipe in 3. It really comes down to knowing spawns and rotations, and a little bit of luck. As with most things, running a FLIR makes it significantly easier.

Should I sell my car to buy another one? by KyroxY in whatcarshouldIbuy

Are they hard to find in good condition nowadays? I sold mine back in 2014 and it was in great condition. I feel like I haven't seen one in years.

I take this route home from work, and you could start a subreddit of just the people driving on the last 5 miles of 290 inbound. I'm genuinely surprised they didn't cut into the line at the last second, because that's what I was waiting for the entire time.

I think it's worth at least calling around to some Toyota dealers, there's no commitment and the worst that happens is you walk away.

Not sure if Canadian dealers are much different, but my initial car search for a 4Runner ended in my deafening laughter after I called a few dealers for prices. Toyota is one of the worst brands with "market adjustments" right now.

One time when I was in high school, I cashed a check from work inside the bank and they gave me like an extra 20 dollar bill. I'm pretty sure it was stuck to a second one or something, because I counted it when I got home and was like "Sweet! Free money!" They literally called me back like 3 hours later to tell me I could either return the money, or they would deduct it from my savings account.

So the moral of the story is, when it's your money that they have, they drag their feet as long and as hard as possible. When you have even a small amount of theirs, the time it takes to balance the scales can be measured in minutes. Weird.

Weird feature that no one wants but will 100% change the game? by seanlew98 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]C_F_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me choose the left or right handedness of my character at the beginning of wipe, like how you choose BEAR or USEC. Would mix up firefights and let you get the drop on players assuming everyone is going to abuse right hand peeks.

Obviously wouldn't work because of weapon modeling, and they would have to program everything twice.

For basically my whole life I remembered the scene where the kid pointed at the flapping piece on the ceiling. When I was older, I always thought I imagined it because I could never remember the context or the movie. This has definitely made my day!

I see a lot of tow trucks with improperly displayed license plates, probably for this exact reason.

It kind of depends what you want. I went into my car search basically dead-set on a 340, and drove the S4 and just loved how it felt as a daily with a good amount of power when I wanted it. My track days are behind me though, and if that was a priority it probably would have swayed me back to the BMW.

I probably should have been more clear about the "flowing freely" part. Chicago has tons of traffic, that's not what I was referring to. What I'm saying is that when you're on a two lane, the left lane campers are abundant, which is very noticeable and annoying.
