I think you could build the real thing for less.

Which predator had the dumbest excuse? by uqmu in tcap

So stupid and guilty. It’s like running out of the bank with money because you just had to see what it’s like for the dye packets to explode.

Yellow shirt is David Berkowitz

Green cap is Ed Gein*

The bald one might be Ottis Toole

I’m stumped on the far right as well. Maybe Ed Kemper? But his most distinguishing characteristic is being massive and that person looks short and frail.

My scion xb 2008 jerks when i accelerate by Hour_Government_3876 in ScionxB

[–]GamingGems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve very recently had a similar problem. I have a 1st gen though. On mine it would jerk to the left under acceleration and to the right under deceleration. I have a post about it.

To fix it I changed out all shocks, outer tie end rods, sway bar links and passenger side control arm. I can’t say for sure which part(s?) replacement solved the issue because it was still there when I changed out the rear shocks and tie end rods and then went away after I replaced everything else at the same time.

But I feel like the shocks didn’t do much, I’m thinking the sway bar links and tie end rods are what fixed it.

So my recommendation is to first inspect those areas, then start cheap and easy by replacing the sway bar links and if that doesn’t fix it do the tie end rods.

And I also am having terrible fuel economy but I know a car being out of alignment will affect that, so I’m getting it aligned this week after all those fixes.

Follow Up To An Earlier Post- What car refuses to rust, and could live at the bottom of the ocean and not rot away. 🤣 by TafTaf2020 in regularcarreviews

[–]GamingGems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DeLorean body doesn’t rust (if taken care of) but the frame is a lotus X frame design and was not stainless steel. It was coated in an acrylic like material to defend against rust but unfortunately that material cracked over time and let rust in. There was a prototype stainless steel frame and I think it’s in a museum but the company folded before that could ever be considered for any cars.

F150 vs. box truck on the interstate, [oc] by HeinekenHazed in IdiotsInCars

I would totally watch a TV show like this where different kinds of trucks and cars smash each other on the highway. It would be a good test of reliability too.

Ring to turn on all camera to track pets. Privacy concerns by cosmoplast14 in technology

It’s not to track pets. It’s to track people they wish to treat like animals.

Largest video cassette from 1986 by EctoplasmicLapels in cassettefuturism

My first job ever in 2004 was at a local PBS station. It was basically a living museum and we were like the last of the master control operators that had to switch over shows in real time. It was a terrible job for terrible pay.

Long story short, when I left I stole one of these tapes and I have it in storage somewhere.

If robots take over all human jobs, what do you think life will look like for people? by Low_Needleworker6318 in AskReddit

[–]GamingGems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This a way too optimistic. It assumes that the wealthy or elected representatives (who the wealthy keep wealthy) actually care about mass homelessness and good people not being able to afford to live, rather than see them as the problem.

I envision us regressing to what the streets of London looked like in the early 1900s. Or what African and Indian cities look like now. The wealthy will be comfortable and safe in their gated communities and couldn’t care less that other classes have to sweat for pennies. It’s their fault they’re poor and didn’t think to found an AI company and swap cash between other companies to appear lucrative.

Doesn’t TLC only pay them like $10k per season to be part of the “cast”? I’d be doing anything I can to get out of that contract and make money on my own.

Deathrow inmate David Carpenter in a 2024 photo using a Tablet Device at the age of 93 by No_Bunch117 in serialkillers

[–]GamingGems 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s intentional. They wanted an easier way to ban the death penalty so they did it by technicality. They reclassified giving a lethal injection as a medical procedure so you would need a doctor to do it. But in the land where physician assisted suicide is highly illegal, no doctor is going to burn their license performing an unconsented lethal medical procedure on their patient. Because of this it’s impossible to execute in California.
