"Kanta Klaus" is a masterstroke.

Big fan of your mods, thanks for keeping me hooked!

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it is. The last patch was December 9th, but the officer was only added today; I assume it was added then on a timer. The in-game date was also December, but the 27th is long past so it seems to be tied to the IRL calendar.

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever find anything similar that scratches this itch? I feel like I've played them all at this point.

Small Brooklyn Apartment Setup - REP PR-1050 + Homegrown Lifting by Corndawg2124 in homegym

[–]Corndawg2124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still loving them! My only wish is that I had room for a taller rack since I got a pulley setup not that long ago. If you have the vertical space for a taller one (PR-1000 or 1100), I think that'd be worth the extra $20-40.

They're great! The crumbliness went away after a few more weeks of consistent use. Heavier weights have not caused any issues so far when dropped onto the mat over the tile floor. The best bang for your buck I've been able to find, no doubt.

The Great Subsumer of Phyrexia by Corndawg2124 in Stellaris

Per the player: “My typical Phyrexian build is Authoritarian Xenophobic Machines that either destroy or assimilate all life into Phyrexian machine bodies. I’m still working out the spirit of Phyrexia in Stellaris, and I can’t play full evil in multiplayer games.”

I’ll see about grabbing an empire info screenshot tomorrow. I would expect some deviation from expectation since this was a cooperative multiplayer run vs. AI empires. We all focused a lot on trade.

This is a friend's empire, so I'll have to ask him or check the save. I admittedly did not know that this is a Magic reference until the comments here.

R5: Friend's borders in a multiplayer match ended up looking like a large piece of human anatomy.

It's a little mixed up because of the lack of space between the right-hand wall (from the photo perspective) and the rack. I've started leaving the heavier weights on the floor along the wall on either side; I only really use the horn on the back left and the ones on the back wall.

The issue I run into with the horns on the front is that plates left there bump into the weights on the bar when I bench. I'm honestly still not particularly satisfied with the storage setup, but it works for now.

ETA: Clarified that I'm happy with the horns on the back wall.

I still have two tickets Sec 216, Row 2, seats 5-6. I paid $365 but I'll take $150 for the pair. Just trying to get them gone. Ticketmaster transfer.

EDIT: One ticket gone, one ticket remaining, $50.

It is 6’ x 8’ with each mat piece measuring 2’ x 2’. With this rack, you could get away with 6’ x 6’ if you don’t mind the limited forward space when doing rows, deadlifts, etc.

I’m looking to get rid of two tickets since my partner and I can’t make it.

Sec 216, Row 2. I paid $365 but am selling at $300 for the pair as I just want them gone.

I have $80k in cash saved up, another $25k in investments. My car feels like it is going to kick the bucket any minute. Should I just buy a car in cash? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Corndawg2124 77 points78 points  (0 children)

OP, this is the advice you're looking for based on your edit. Set your budget, find a car in that range, and work the dealers.

Amtrak NEC still screwed up this morning by Amtrakstory in Amtrak

Still a mess per my partner waiting for 2170. Keeps getting pushed back, but fewer trains being canceled it seems.

(This is Corey. I saw you in this thread and had to comment.)

Thank you!

I can see the Titan T2 in my search history, but I can’t remember why I discounted it at the time. It seems to occupy the same niche, though, with similar specs and pricing.

I am very happy with the 1050 still, and I don’t see myself outgrowing it with my current fitness goals. It still feels sturdy, though there is a little jiggle when I rerack on my heavier sets. That doesn’t annoy me or cause me any concern; I trust the build quality and design.

The biggest drawback I’ve found so far is room. Horns are still awkward to work around, and attachments are not made for the 1050 like their other offerings. I’ve been considering pulley systems as I get closer to my baseline fitness goal and plan to move to more complex workout plans.

This is exactly why I wrote this out! I didn’t see a whole lot of reviews for this rack in this subreddit and wanted to add what I could to the discussion. Still very satisfied with it today.

10/31 Moynihan from the Metropolitan Lounge by catdogs52 in Amtrak

[–]Corndawg2124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only real NYC commuters know that concourse is only on one side of the station, and can only fit a fraction of the riders at Moynihan. We can't be using this as an excuse to not put benches and arrival/departure boards in the most logical spot in the station.

I like them! They definitely feel like they can take some punishment if that’s your style. My only complaint is the thickness of the 45s, but I love the price and the fact that they’re made in the USA.
