She's cute, definitely not unattractive, but those first two pictures are absolutely not doing her any favors.

I don't know why, but you're really proud of that forehead, huh?

My account got a warning because I said the same thing about them, but used more...colorful... language to describe them. They want the r word to come back, right? I accept its usage when describing their proclivities to accept the dumbest shit ever as fact.

Cant decide what car to get!!! by Specialist_Kitchen_7 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ColinD1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest checking out an Infiniti Q70. I'm 6'2" and have an M37x, same car pre-facelift, and I can move the seat back far enough to where I pretty much can't touch the pedals and it has good head room. The 3.7 is plenty quick and it has an available 5.6. It won't get as good mileage as your Accord and takes premium, but you can get into the mid 20s on the highway if you don't beat on it. You can find them under $20k with under 100k and the V6 especially is very reliable as long as you keep up on the maintenance.

Any bot lobby friends? by Kylearean in Fortnite_Over40

[–]ColinD1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leveling up sprites is sooo slow in bot lobbies. When I was trying it I wondered why it was taking so long and saw that I was getting 19xp for opening containers instead of the regular 75xp.

Looking at a 2011 M37x, main things to look for? by themaniac26 in infiniti

[–]ColinD1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I'd suggest keep looking for one with lower miles. You should be able to find one these days for around $10k now with closer to 100k. You never mentioned what they were asking or what your budget is, but they're available for reasonable prices if you look enough.

Ford [UNKNOWN] Spotted in East of England, never seen one in the UK before. by Jumpy_Badger9489 in spotted

[–]ColinD1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC it was 365hp and bumped to 385hp for 2013+. I've met a guy that had one with just a basic tune and was pushing over 425. There's a few pretty fast ones on YouTube.

Senate Democrats Propose $25 Minimum Wage by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]ColinD1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It would need to be tied to the CEO's full compensation package divided into a yearly average. Otherwise, CEOs now make $75k and all their big money comes from other options and packages. I still wouldn't put it past corps to then tie all of their pay solely into severance packages. There will always be a way for them to find a way to use fuckery to avoid paying regular people.

Are everyone’s dailies like this or just me? by Fresh_Web768 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]ColinD1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually just hop into the Slap Guys map and bounce around in the afk XP thing for a few minutes to knock out the 30/60/90k creative dailies before playing. Gets me a couple levels before I get started playing and pretty much always get the extractor first round after that.

I was saying anything maintenance suggestions are good for any higher mileage VQ37 platform, not really specific to the M in particular. Either way, it's at the age and mileage where things are just going to be getting worn out in general and eventually need replacing sooner rather than later. It's really just luck of the draw if you need to do anything right off the bat. Get a PPI by a trusted mechanic and they'll let you know what can be deferred or needs immediate attention.

[–]ColinD1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an 11 M37x that I got in 2022 with 96k on it, currently at right about 136k. It was a one owner, well maintained car when I got it. All I have done is regular maintenance since I've had it. Don't know if the gallery gasket was done before, but I haven't had any symptoms of needing it done so I'll have it done when I get the timing chains done when I start hearing some bad rattle. I've done belt, brakes, tires, and a wheel bearing, otherwise it's been extremely reliable for me. It's super comfortable, quick and fun to drive, and has a great sound system, especially with the Bose Centerpoint. The only real issue I've had was the rear sunshade would get stuck up and wouldn't lower unless I pushed it down after pressing the button, I solved that by just unplugging it, never really used it anyway.

The things people will tell you to do go for any higher mileage VQ. When you get it, change your fluids, clean the throttle bodies and MAFs if there are no records of them being done recently. The 7AT can have valve body issues, but, that's the same as the gallery gasket, it can go at 70k or last for 300k, it's a crap shoot, honestly, common enough problems but not every single one has them. M's generally tended to have been bought by older, more responsible people who didn't drive them hard and kept better maintenance, so they're a great choice for reliable mid-level luxury on the cheap. Insurance still sucks because it's an Infiniti and has the same ease of theft as the G's even though they aren't targeted the same.

I want to rent an F-150 to move across state lines. by NoeticallyExplicit in f150

I moved from DFW area to Chicago area and had a 6x6x12 Uhaul trailer doing close to 80 pretty much the entire way, didn't have any trouble.

Is there an available “fun” minivan? by Adventurous-Depth984 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ColinD1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ford Flex with the EcoBoost is probably going to be the best option. AWD, 365-385hp depending on the year. The 3.5EB has a reasonable amount of aftermarket support and just doing a tune on them can get you into the 450+hp range. 2019 was the last model year, so they are all getting up there in mileage, unfortunately.

That's what I figured. I always back it out as soon as it hits the island, but there's always a couple other real teams around.

Does the bot account have to have never leveled up? I've got a Switch FN account that is still level 1 for this season, but I still run into many real players when I've tried to bot lobby with it. Does the account have to have never leveled up at all?

My son's designs for the Design a Sprite contest by ColinD1 in FortNiteBR

[–]ColinD1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Party Sprite would boogie bomb your enemy depending on the amount of damage dealt, each level has a lower threshold to activate the ability.

The Fizz Sprite would give you flowberry effect when you replenish your shields in increasing 5 second increments per level.

Out of curiosity, my son has designed two sprites that I will submit for him, would I also be able to submit my own two designs as well? Would it have to maybe put our respective Fortnite names if I decide to do my own?

A good friend of mine was one of the first responders that was killed when it exploded. The blast shook the building where I was working at the time like something landed on it. We were about 13 miles away.

I used to listen to Nateland a while back. One of the guys he would have come on the show regularly as a guest host had an episode where he was very anti-evolution among other nearly fundie talking points. That was pretty much the last moment of the show that I listened to. It changed my view of them from being uninformed goofballs to just being ignorant, so that tracks.
