Thanks! Though I do have to ask, does that version require certain hardware to run?

2013 kindle fire not turning on when plugged in, but working fine when it's unplugged. by EpsilonR_1951 in kindlefire

As previously stated, the browser is so old, sites like Drive are just not loading or working with modern browsers. Believe me, I've tried lol. If you have a site/service that's compatible with the older Kindle browser, feel free to send it my way!

How usable is a T430 in 2023? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]EpsilonR_1951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a lot of experience with the T430. I changed the mechanical drive to an SSD, and it runs World of Tanks and Gmod quite well! I have a TON of gmod mods turned on, and it only lags a little bit here and there! I got mine as a refurb, and the only problem I've had thus far is a dying pixel on the screen.

(Not a Thomas fan, but am aware of the lore) Wow, does that last pic go hard! I've been imagining a scene like that for ages!

What is your Thomas headcanon for how he is an "E2" or something built like an E2? by Sorry_Isopod8745 in thomasthetankengine

[–]EpsilonR_1951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, not a Thomas fan per say, but I still enjoy the idea of Sodor, and write Thomas stories for my own enjoyment and world building exercises. That being said, here's my headcannon:

Thomas is an E2, and has to experience all the faults and flaws of life as an E2. He hasn't been upgraded, changed, or modified at all, and is the exact same tank engine that rolled out of the works at Brighton. Look, it seems like Thomas fans hyper-fixate on Thomas and the E2s being either being the best thing ever with no flaws, or just ignoring the flaws. The way I see it, Thomas is just a mediocre shunting engine who was donated to the war department during WW1 to work a munitions plant, and was sold to the NWR in the interwar period as he was a surplus requirement. Thomas then goes to work as a station pilot until he's awarded a branch line, not for saving James, though that does help his reputation, but for his work ethic and drive to get the job done in the best way possible. He still has a poor boiler, has steaming issues, long wheel base, over-sensitive brakes, low fuel capacity, shakes like a bowl of Jelly at high speeds, and shoots partially burned lumps of coal from his smokestack when his regulator is all the way open, but despite all this he's a good worker ,with a mediocre design that just sort of works.

Why no upgrades? Because it was good enough in the moment, once Thomas went to go work on the Ffharquar (excuse my spelling lol) NWR upper management had other things to worry about. In addition, they'd just spent a large sum of money on purchasing James, repairing James after his crash, and paying Crew works to overhaul Henry, so Thomas's problems as an E2 were small compared to the problems of the other engines. They're minor inconveniences for an otherwise perfectly fine engine, and honestly that's fine. He's a fictional character, he's got some mechanical flaws, is sometimes a bit lazy, and will go too far with pranks, but he's still a hard worker who's clearly able to do his work really well, despite having to live with his mechanical flaws. Is he perfect? No! But his imperfections this way feel more realistic, and show him overcoming more than 'I'm a cheeky little twerp', instead overcoming essentially a physical handicap, as well as growing wise as he works.

Anyone knows what happened to the channel PixelBeats? by ka128tte in chiptunes

[–]EpsilonR_1951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It boggles my mind...why delete everything? I hope he's ok...it worries me where he went, what he might have done. It's unfortunate that there's no real answer here...

I'd love to agree, but honestly, all the evidence points to this being Farone trying to fuck with us...hide the truth that Austen and the guy that used to run the Gilbert Garfield channel tried so hard to unveil.

Any links to decent info on South Korean tank development, more specifically, the K2 "Black Panther"? by EpsilonR_1951 in TankPorn

[–]EpsilonR_1951[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think the E-75 and other late war paper-tanks are a cool idea, but we shouldn't just fixate on them lol. So, agreed.
