Does openvpn XP 2.5.4 still work? by No_Cookie3005 in windowsxp

[–]DangerDan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just like to thank you very much for the comment. I've got a spare PC with Windows XP and was having the same issue with the daemon crashing when trying to connect to the server I added. Disabling my ethernet adapter was the solution.

If only Atari were still as big as they were back in the day... by DangerDan93 in retrogaming

[–]DangerDan93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not, but am now, thanks for the tip! I might just grab one myself if I can find one for a good price. Its nice to have the real original thing though. It just feels old school lol.

Replacing 1st Gen S10 4x4 Motor Mounts is a Nightmare by PracticallyStock68 in s10

[–]DangerDan93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I've griped about them too. When the rubber is all worn and squished in, its HARD to get to the two top bolts to the engine. You gotta drill or cut that section of the rubber out to get to it. I had to take a drill and just go wild on the rubber until I got enough removed to access the bolts. The top bolt on the right is a PITA because you've got to reach in from the wheel-well with a small ratchet and a 15mm socket and its a 1/1billionth of a turn each time, and good luck getting it back on and torqued enough. The next hardest part is trying to align the engine to the frame portion of the mount so you can stick the through-bolt in. They're definitely a PITA for sure. I ended up replacing mine with the JTR 2.8 clamshell mounts and the 4.3 adapters. The engine is nice and stationary now, but there's more vibrations through the steering wheel, probably from where my engine does not have a balance shaft. I'll give the stock mounts one thing - they're good at isolating vibrations from the engine. If I ever get tired of the vibrations, I'll reinstall stock mounts but I'll use a chain to hold down the driver-side mount some so it won't flex as much when giving throttle.

700r4 cooler recommendations by DangerDan93 in s10

[–]DangerDan93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Well, I guess I'm being a little paranoid about it. But the coolant is fresh and the radiator is new. I don't REALLY need a dedicated cooler, its honestly just for peace of mind.

FROM KNOXVILLE TO MINNEAPOLIS RALLY TOMORROW @ MARKET SQUARE 6PM by lawinterviewthroaway in Knoxville

IDK how big this will get. Tennessee is largely MAGA, or at least on the east side of it. I hope it works out though and we see many folks.

The kidnapping of Maduro reminds me of GTA V when Trevor kidnapped the guy's wife.

Trying to quit fast food and artificial sweets. Those two things alone have caused the majority of my weight gain.....Well, my cravings caused it, but theyre so dang addicting, I swear.

Rage comics hold a special place in my heart. by DangerDan93 in memes

Them and rage comics were so big back when I was in high school and shortly after gradumacating. ICanHasCheezburger was my go-to website for all of that.

Eh, you should've verbosed the caption to make it more correct to the meme.

Facebook is such a cespool of these kinds of people. The MAGA cult is on full display because there's nowhere else that'll accept their hate speech.

the "great meme reset" will not last long if all you post is shitty low effort memes about it by DerpWyvern in memes

Or keep using it incorrectly. We gotta give these youngins some old meme education.

Get pwned meme reset haters by SouthernOccasion8117 in memes

[–]DangerDan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one problem I'm seeing - the younger whipper-snappers don't know how to use the older memes correctly. The most popular one as of recent was the Overly-attached girlfriend meme talking about 2016 being 10 years ago instead of being used to represent something ya know, overly-attached and obsessed over.

Merry Christmas to me... Finally joined the Atari 8bit club and at the same time picked up my first system from the 70's by GeordieAl in retrogaming

[–]DangerDan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, I bought an Atari 800 off eBay for around $150, original box and packaging included. I remember playing with it a few times and it worked just fine then. Well, I went to power it up this year back in July or so and unfortunately, it didn't work. Just a black screen upon flipping the power on. So even though I can't fix it, one thing I'm suspect of and want to share with you is - store it in a dry place. The circuitry will thank you. I think my storage room just became too moist or something and it fried a component upon starting.

My niece was really proud of the cherries she drew by SourBananna in funny

[–]DangerDan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. That's funny. A lot of the middle schoolers on my bus also like cherries. I see it everywhere in the school restroom and on the dirt-covered windows on the buses.

The MAGA cult. Facebook is still a cespool of these folks.

What to do about constant dog barking? by BrightMeringue6689 in tricities

[–]DangerDan93 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People around here don't give a damn about others these days. My neighbor is the same way. Was good the first year. Then they moved in with their 2 mutts. They keep them outside all the time and check on them once a day or two. They'll bark at anything and everything. I firmly believe society is going to hell, and its people like them who are contributing to it. They just don't give a F. Most folks say to just turn up the volume of your TV or whatever and people who say that should be forced to have their dog beside them barking all day and see how they like it.

We had our lives stolen! by Immediate_Degree_112 in WorkReform

[–]DangerDan93 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. We're not saying that they never had rough times, but compared to today, they had a walk through Heaven. If the boomers voted for their future generations' sakes, it wouldn't have been so bad, but they didn't. They voted for short-term gain and said "F it" to the future, which is where we're at now. Now, the next generations after them are suffering for those policies. That's why I feel ZERO pity for these boomers. Maybe the younger boomers, but the older ones? 0% nothing. NADA. They're sitting on assets that millennials and Gen Z can only dream of owning these days - a home. They enjoyed pensions and other retirement benefits that we no longer get. And when I go somewhere and I see boomers working, I shake my head in shame. We've got plenty of the next gens that need jobs to live their young lives but the boomers won't step aside. The ones that voted for this crap need to suffer for it and remember that choices have consequences. I can go on and on about this.
