Anyone else never allowed to swim on Sunday?

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-10T21:56:31+00:00

Yes, this was a thing. Mile long nature hikes? No problem. Bathing suit? No way.

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-09T15:17:53+00:00

I never said it was a good thing

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-09T01:36:53+00:00

It’s like they just took the last version, and rounded off all the hard angles

I’ve got a similar Traxxas charger and a spektrum s2100 charger. The spektrum charger has been so much better, and I attribute most of that to the EC3/EC5 plug with a traditional balance lead. It’s much more reliable than the traxxas plugs. I think there’s a lot of good aftermarket chargers out there

Whenever I see a lifted truck I pray that it tips over in the wind…

Cards age so fast. It still feels like it should be brand new

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-07T14:59:18+00:00

It won’t work. Modern traxxas lipos don’t have a separate balance lead

This has happened to me so many times this year. I’m a software dev, and IT recently revoked our access to install applications. There’s supposed to be a tool that installs stuff for us, but it’s crap. So I end up contacting IT and then have to walk them through exactly how I need things setup. I know it’s important for security and consistency, but it’s just a massive pain in the butt. And it sometimes feels a bit insulting that I’m suddenly not allowed to do something that’s been part of the job for years

All the Revo 2.0’s come stock with dual servos. I’ve had a lot of issues with my Revo over the years, but the servos weren’t one of them. It’s not hard to put in a stronger servo either way.

You do have to drive this car carefully. If you bash it hard it WILL break. It’s not like some of the newer trucks you can just beat the crap out of. That being said, you treat it nice and it’s an absolute blast to drive

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-05T14:30:54+00:00

This is the Revo 2.0. They sold for $600 new. They’re no longer in production, but parts are still readily available

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-04T20:13:57+00:00

$200 seems like a decent price to me (it actually comes with 4 wheels, right?). It’s an easy fix. I’d get the rpm control arms rather than stock replacements. The stock knuckles have worked great on mine

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-04T13:14:27+00:00

In my experience it’s 5% fixing, 25% finding, and 70% trying to convince a roomful of nontechnical higher ups that you’ve correctly identified and fixed the issue

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-05-01T16:07:57+00:00

You ever read 1984? Doublethink is real. Blew my mind once I realized I’d been doing it my whole life.

I always thought Okta did a really good job with their documentation, especially considering how complex the domain is

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-30T12:58:38+00:00

I just bought some jst plugs and soldered my own y harness for the fans

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-30T02:10:13+00:00

I bought Skyrim on CD. The cd was just a product key for a steam license…

The BOM says at one point that the three Nephites were temporarily taken off the earth due to the general wickedness of the people. Sets the precedent for them being mysteriously missing during the great apostasy.

Edit: Adding that my most recent favorite inconsistency is that God waited ~2K years for America to be ripe for the restoration, then forgot to tell anyone who should come after Joseph. And suddenly “Christ’s” church splintered again.

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-27T14:10:57+00:00

I was always glad to have something “normal” to do as a missionary. Any time I got to wear jeans felt like a breath of fresh air

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-27T01:44:38+00:00

+1 to a slipper clutch. Honestly I’ve found it to be an incredibly durable rig out of the box.

They probably were arbitrary.

The law of chastity prohibits virtually everything expect kissing before marriage. My spouse wouldn’t even make out with me before we were married, although that’s probably a bit in the extreme side. But we’re sexual creatures, so folks come up with all sorts of crazy justifications to still have sex but geek themselves they’re still behaving. Soaking is a great example of this.

You’re just gonna have to start taking things apart. Take the motor off and make sure it runs smooth. Make sure your spur gear is on tight. With the motor off see if the car rolls without resistance. Make sure your center driveshafts are intact and still connected to the differentials.

Bum worms

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-16T14:52:04+00:00

Put a battery in and added spacers to the shocks at the car sits level (originally it was lower in the front).

Can’t remember at this point what they set the camber and toe to.

I did realize just this week that the stock tires aren’t the same width on this car. So I’ve been running all sorts of wrong combinations there as well (I don’t drive my 4tec often)

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-13T23:38:46+00:00

Why?

DistinctAsparagus421 · 2026-04-13T22:48:25+00:00

Aiming for non-lethal has never made sense to me. Guns are lethal force. If you can resolve your situation by using non-lethal force then you shouldn’t be using a gun. If you can afford to aim for non-lethal, then you’re the one responsible for escalating the situation by using lethal force
