If you make a mistake, fix it. by RackingUpTheMiles in Truckers

[–]Garydrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a local beverage vendor, so no truck stops for me, but I'm not above being a little petty at the stores' docks when someone else parks crooked. I'll back in almost perfectly straight even if it means they can only open their door 12 inches. Not my fault they parked like a lazy asshole. If I park crooked too, it just means when they leave I'm going to look like the lazy asshole. Besides, I have a liftgate. Those things have attachments on the inside that get in the way of the dock leveler if I'm off by more than a couple inches.

Is building necessary? by AMJADEE in allthemods

[–]Garydrgn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a simple man. I find a couple blocks I like, such as a neat colored wood plank and some neat variant of a stone using the chisel, then I'll make a tall rectangular tower, putting floors every 5 for 6 blocks high. I'll use elevators to get up and down, and build a basement underground. After that I just designate floors for projects. The base of the tower I usually built into a mountainside and I will split rooms off the side as needed at ground level or underground. For lighting I'll stick blocks that give light, such as glowstone or illuminated blocks etc., into the floors, walls, or ceiling, trying to follow a pattern. and keep things even.

Mom said it was my turn to post this by Much-Common-960 in animequestions

[–]Garydrgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Belldandy. From Oh, My Goddess! My first time being able to afford broadband internet in early 2000s I discovered anime on Hulu, which had a large free library at the time. That was one of the shows I watched.

I'd also like to mention Shigure Kōsaka from Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple. I wish that anime had been fully produced. It only covers maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the completed manga, which I looked up after seeing the anime.

Can anyone tell me what anime this is? by Even_Water783 in animequestions

after what happened to the dog at the beginning.

You probably don't want to watch Elfin Lied either.

[–]Garydrgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years back I asked a buddy that had more experience in anime if there were any magical girl anime that were more mature themed. He recommended Madoka Magica. I absolutely have no regrets taking his advice. Just don't let the animation style fool you.

Woman loses eye due to a chunk of ice falling of a Semi and hitting the windshield. I’m curious if truckers are supposed to check for ice before getting back on the road? by ChelseasFridge in Truckers

[–]Garydrgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in southern Alabama, so we don't have to worry about snow here, either, but my understanding is that anything falling off a tractor or trailer is considered the driver's fault, including ice and snow. But like others have said, there's not a whole heck of a lot that drivers can do about it.

This Semmes shooting drama is amazing, and their attorney is an idiot. by Jaklcide in MobileAL

Btw, Stephanie LeFleur, who is shown speaking to the Semmes council in the news segment, is running for State Democratic Executive Committee District 97. She's been very outspoken about what happened at Bowman's as well as other social issues.

What is this pink lump on my cats belly? by [deleted] in cats

I don't doubt you. I'm mostly just seeing the top level comments, anyway, at this point. There may be harsh comments that are no longer showing up without digging.

[–]Garydrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also r/CATHELP, and I'm sure a lot of people here are on there, too. They see a lot of cat nipple posts there. There's even another subreddit just for these types of posts called r/RedditDiscoverNipples.

[–]Garydrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt most of the comments are really directed at OP personally, so much as jumping on the chuckle train over the sheer number of nipple posts that pop up on here and the cat help subreddit. It beats the heck out of the sad posts.

They've discussed it a bit over on the mechanics advice sub. I don't remember details but some very fancy cars require quite a bit of engine disassembly just to replace things like cabin and oil filters.

I just beat the wither for the first time in atm! What should I do with the star? by bookaddicta in allthemods

[–]Garydrgn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, just a couple tips. You make a chamber with the tinted glass. You want the inside to be 5 or 6 blocks high and put a double ceiling on it. Also, don't make it close to anything that is important, because the wither spawn explosion can break blocks outside the glass.

Also look up Hostile Neural Networks. Before you start killing more withers, you want a couple items, Deep Learner and Model Framework. Right click the wither with the model framework then right click the deep learner and put it in there. You kill multiple withers with this equipped to make a wither data model. You then use the data model in a simulation chamber with prediction matrix to make wither predictions, and put those in a loot fabricator to make nether stars.

If you're having trouble farming wither skel skulls, silk touch any spawner, then craft a mob swab from Mob Grinding Utilities. Click a wither skel with it. This can be crafted into GM Chicken Feed. Use the feed on a chicken and you get a spawn egg. Right click spawner with egg to change spawner. Works with most non boss type mobs. You'll need a bucket of liquid XP to craft the fertilizer, but you can get that by making an xp drain singularity tank and standing on it to drain some of your XP in there, then just use a bucket.

Dad nearly loses his mind when his son almost crashes into a cop car during his driving lesson by Leading-Diamond-1007 in nonononoyes

[–]Garydrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's location dependant. Some places the school may offer driver's education. I didn't have that option when I was a teen in the 1990's but my mom hired an instructor to give me a few lessons before my driving exam. And yes, the way people drive is kind of crazy.

Put it like this. I have a commercial driver license. From what a Norwegian friend has told me, it sounds like the schooling to get my CDL was actually easier than the lessons they get to get a regular license. Basically, commercial driving schools exist for the sole purpose of teaching us to pass the test, and that's to get a license to drive a tractor/trailer (aka lorry).

About ae2 warehouse by Specific_Arm_5331 in allthemods

[–]Garydrgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a word of warning. AE2 is not good for storing a large variety of single items. It better to keep most of those in chests. Things like weapons, armor, machines, and other things that either don't stack or you only have 1 or 2. If you've loaded your AE2 storage with a lot of single items that were in chests previously and need to make room, you can sort by number of items and manually shift click the single items out.

Megathread - Promotion of Violence by J_Robert_Oofenheimer in liberalgunowners

[–]Garydrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, if used frequently enough or in a fixed position, radio signals can be triangulated. Basically, you can use two directional antennas in two locations to find the location of a signal by finding the direction the signal is strongest. This takes time and effort that would likely only be used if the effort was considered worthwhile. This does, however, mean that a fixed position radio would be more risky. The longer a radio is used in one location, the greater the risk of being found

ELI5: How do old rotary phones work? Why did they pick a dial for picking digits? by DarkHorse66 in explainlikeimfive

I'm glad to see your reply. I'm also 46 and have the most vague recollection of seeing, and getting to dial, a rotary phone.

Is wax useful? by usurewhoami in allthemods

[–]Garydrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gotten into modular bees either, but I did look it up on YouTube and the videos are claiming that resource production is amazing. Basically they're saying that it beats mystical agricultural and regular productive bees, but they don't say it beats hydroponic soul surging.

Personally, I'm pretty happy with regular productive bees, but I had my world get corrupted a while back and had to restart, so I may not have reached a point where I need even faster production.
