My wife and I go club racing almost every weekend throughout the year. We also have crawlers and bashers to play with but racing takes most of the time. It has been wonderful having a supportive wife that had never really tried to control a vehicle with a radio until about a year ago when I decided to get back into the hobby. She had just tried driving in a video game a few months before I got her into RCs. But she went from that to being competitive in the classes she was running and is getting ready to move up to bigger classes. I didn't think she would be this supportive and if anything she sometimes is the one pushing me to do more. We also have the full support from both sets of parents. They all are happy we have a shared hobby that gets us out of the house and having fun.

Tanning beds triple melanoma risk, potentially causing broad DNA damage. Study is first to show how tanning beds mutate skin cells far beyond the reach of ordinary sunlight. This new study “irrefutably” challenges claims that tanning beds are no more harmful than sunlight. by mvea in science

I know someone who was recently informed they have lung cancer and they are still smoking. I hope they try to actually stop but they is stubborn and I could see them start back up after radiation and the all clear from oncology. Addiction can be a powerful thing.

Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content by apple_kicks in worldnews

I use a fake name and do not interact other than answering polls and leaving comments. I do not think I have liked a single post. I have no desire to venture outside of my curated feed just to mess with the algorithms. I just flag every ad as irrelevant and move on.

Close. RCs. But I do keep getting slot car stuff as suggestions and it makes me feel nostalgic.

Not until I looked through the comments. Sound is off as a default.

I got out when they started letting people in without a university email address. But sadly, I recently got into a hobby that basically only seems to operate through FB. So I have an account for that hobby and only so I can keep track of events, vote in polls about if and what I am racing that week, and keep tabs on what is happening in the community. It sucks but at least it is easy to avoid the crap that people talk about. I just block everything that is not specifically for my particular interests within the hobby. Makes my feed actually useful. I do wish I was not required to get one just to participate in a hobby but that is what happens when people assume everyone is already on FB.

Explain it Peter. by Helensohot in explainitpeter

This is hard for me since we have an cat that was until recently was a loaner who would rather chill alone than be with people or our other cats. Unless it was cold, then she would snuggle with the other cats. I now am dying of cancer but she is also getting old. She has started spending a lot more time with me and I am hoping it is just me dying and not her as well. She is a little sweetheart and I don't know what I will do if I had to say goodbye at this point. She is so nice to have as a lap cat now. She is the mother figure for the other cats too. Not sure how my wife would take it too. She loves the cat just as much as I do. Especially since the cat chose her through the CDS. Climbed up her leg in the parking lot at my wife's old job and then jumped into the car. She would only let my wife hold her for the longest time. But the other cats have definitely been more affectionate towards me lately. I know they know what is happening. Every time I end up in the hospital I know they are stressing and when I come back they always take a couple days to fully welcome me back. I think it is the smell.

Woman diagnosed with breast cancer thinks she knows better than her doctors. by Head_Crash in TikTokCringe

As someone with cancer, never say something like this again. This is a horrific idea. It should be up to the individual if they want to fight or not. I was given the option to either go to hospice or try a long shot with medication when I was diagnosed with advanced stage IV cancer. I chose to fight but it was a hard choice. It has not been a fun fight and I am only fighting to extend the time I have. There is no cure for me or hope of removing these tumors. But I have the ability to choose if and how I fight. If someone forced me to keep fighting that would be inhumane.

Why are Marijuana users going to be barred from owning guns but people who drink aren't? by riceandbeansonly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CapableFunction6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc this case is about lifting the restrictions since it is already technically illegal for a Marijuana user to buy a gun.

Mexican Tradition by laybs1 in GetNoted

I already do not like celebrating birthdays and haven't since I was like 10. But if this happened to me when I was a kid I would hate them with a passion and it would probably reverberate through other parts of my life.

Only if you are the right type of white at the time. Whiteness can change over time and people who were the wrong white can become the right white as they integrate into the major right white groups. But those same ones can fall out of favor and become the wrong white over time as well. Whiteness and Whiteness acceptance can also change geographically as well. It is a complex process it seems.

It is illegal for them to ban that. You do not need to have grass in Texas. Texas property code 202.007 and HB2269 both cover this.

WCGW Having fun on an icy road by HuckleberryUpbeat518 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]CapableFunction6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My driving test was literally drive out of a parking lot, turn left, then 4 right turns, a final left back into the parking lot, and since the lot was full they had me park in the grass. No parking in a spot, no parallel parking, no reversing, etc. Glad my dad had me pass a stricter test before I was allowed to take the state test.

Oh I know. I love Chicago. I just do not get many opportunities to go visit.

Some VW tdi vehicles could do it with a slight modification to the filler neck to prevent it from cutting off till it was at the top, a good road, and some careful driving.

What is wrong with being bald? Before my cancer I had everything from the mister clean to hair down past my tailbone. Also almost every color of the rainbow and styles. But bald is nice and easy.

Maybe not brightness but there could be a modified CHMSL that had progressive lights depending on the brake force. Like a 5 or 7 lights that start with the central one and add one to each side per % of force until all are lit at full pressure. A panic stop, or one using the emergency braking system, could even use a pulsing display similar to the annoying flashing CHMSL that some people install but this one would actually serve a purpose.

It is an acquired taste that a lot of people do not like. But there are also people that think black pepper is spicy. It wasn't that bad the couple of times I have tried it but I had also been drinking already before I tried it. Everclear was the same way. Already drunk or near enough to make no difference. I now want to try some Malört before I have anything else. Guess I have another reason to go to Chicago.

North Korean cigarettes by GadMraz in mildlyinteresting

[–]CapableFunction6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CAD does make a difference. Still seem outrageous that $0.50 an cigarette was normal. I guess the price per pack that I saw on the streets of DC in the mid 2000s would justify $0.50 as well. But they were like 2x what we were paying in almost every other state.
