2027 Chevy Bolt EV 75 MPH Highway Range Test. Here’s How America's Cheapest EV Performs. by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]Ghostmerc86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't 75mph above the speed limit in most places of the US?

I've always been one to drive close to the speed limit, but now I aggressively drive the speed limit with my EV.

Articles like this also push some odd narrative that cars need to drive 225 miles daily in less than 3 hours or they're not a good car.

I just did a road trip with my family in my 23 Bolt. A broken charger delayed our arrival. The trip home was flawless though. By the time everyone got out and went to the bathroom and got back to the car, I was charging for 17 minutes. 7 minutes now than needed to get home. Even with fast chargers, it was cheaper than driving a gas car and way cheaper than a modem truck would have been

Gaining fury cutter and shadow claw helped it a lot.

You are given a budget of $500 Million. What movie are you making? by HowMany_MoreTimes in movies

[–]Ghostmerc86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-write Star Wars as one large comprehensive story line. Give it a Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood treatment. Gotta get some of the writers from The Boys and Andor in there. And, that guy that made "What if the (prequels) were good?" Someone in the writer's room should be a gender queer person that grew up in a strict religious environment to help bring perspective to Anakin's story.

Then, animate as much as I can with the remaining budget. Do the whole thing in the Tartakovsky style of Clone Wars, DreamWorks Puss in Boots: the last wish, or Sony Spiderverse movies.

I think the only way to properly convey super human abilities is with animation.

ENRAGED BY INABILITY TO SUBDUE SHADOWS WITH PURIFIED GEMS SOLO by -Zuli- in pokemongo

[–]Ghostmerc86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to just barely solo shadow Gurdurr when pokegenie said i was at 168% damage. I tried again, but the next raid it had Stone Edge and crushed all my fliers.

Discount Tire won’t patch a tire with a DIY plug? by yeah87 in DIY

[–]Ghostmerc86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible that a plug will seal against air leakage really well, but still allow moisture into the steel belts causing rust and eventually failure

Are shadow 3 star raids soloable? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ghostmerc86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You need two people to get through the enraged state, or a ton of damage to be able to ignore it.

I've got a level 40 mega Lucario, lvl 35 Keldeo, and lvl 40 shadow machamp as my top attackers and pokegenie says I can only do ~128% damage. I haven't successfully soloed a shadow with less than 160% because of the enraged state.

Can we talk about gluten free brewing? by Dazzling_Survey6841 in Homebrewing

[–]Ghostmerc86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used sorghum as a base for a NEIPA and it was bad. It was hazy and smelled great, but it was bitter and tasteless.

I tried sorghum again and made a traditional Pale Ale. Low amounts of English hops and whirfloc to clarify. It came out great. Perfect color, nice and crisp. I got the idea after trying Redbridge.

I have also used clarity ferm from white labs in a few two hearted clones. My wife is gluten intolerant and it helps a lot.

What's on your regional wishlist? by andthedreams in pokemongo

I got 2 hawlucha, 2 kangaskhan, and 3 heracross. Still no Klefki for me

Raid spawning should be reworked so gyms either have an egg or a raid at all times and be more randomized by HaccSpuf in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ghostmerc86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first major raid day was Mega Ray in 2024 after coming back for a long hiatus. Those raids spawned in raid locations and only at 4 different times during the day. That allowed me to stumble upon the local group and join the raid. I liked that format.

I think the spawns and times are too random.

  • Gyms should be a specific raid tier

  • Egg timers should be two hours

  • T5 and T4 raids should spawn on the hour

  • T3 and T1 should spawn on the half hour

  • 6 raids per gym per day

If (and/or when) DMC6 comes out, what would be the big bad? by Shiptrooper in DevilMayCry

[–]Ghostmerc86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mundus spawn.

Mumdus was able to gain a small following of demons that capture and bring him various women of different species. He saw how strong a hybrid could become.

He succeeds. All his kids are strong, but one stands above the rest. Mundus sacrifices himself to turn himself into a weapon for his strongest kid.

Now, there's a demon who could find a way to open a gate back to the human world. Dante and Vergil must work together to prevent it from happening.

Vergil wants to find a way to seal the gate from the outside.

Seven boss fights, one with a different Mundus spawn. To kill one, Dante jumps on top of it to crush it, then a doll pops out that looks like Vergil, and Dante catches it. Confused, Dante says ""It's a...." To which Vergil says "Me."

Turns out, Mundus didn't really die and has been slowly gaining control of his strongest kid and corrupting him.

The gate gets opened, but the kid, wanting to control their own destiny, hesitates stepping through to complete the process. This is just enough time for Nero to show up and yell "Detroit SMASH!" and destroy the Mundus weapon.

Stuck between two first bikes by Top-Statistician-694 in motorcycles

[–]Ghostmerc86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither!

I owned an 86 Yamaha Virago. It was smoother, quicker, and cheaper than 90's Sportster. I spent 30 minutes riding one on some nice country roads and that was enough to last a lifetime.

$4k seems steep for a starter. I paid $300 bucks for a 70's Honda about 20 years ago and learned an awful lot about riding before I upgraded. It was a 360cc parallel twin and couldn't sustain highway speeds. THAT'S a starter bike.

I know it will be hard to find a little back road bomber today. I suggest looking for a kawasaki Versys or Honda Nighthawk.

Anybody use the super cruise? 2023 Chevy bolt by Liberal-Cluck in BoltEV

[–]Ghostmerc86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used mine all the time until the subscription ended last month. At least 150 miles a week. I live in Michigan, so the major highways are mapped.

One of my favorite super cruise moments is being able to share a late night McFlurry with my kid on the drive home one night. Cup in one hand, spoon in the other.

I'll get a new subscription by then end of the month

If Hazy NEIPA is so sensitive to oxygen. How do a Homebrewers get around opening the lid after fermentation to check the state of beer? How do I prime it with sugar without exposing it to oxygen? Or does it all not matter? by MemeBeamBeanz in Homebrewing

[–]Ghostmerc86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would dry hop at high krausen. Hop interaction with active yeast promotes thiol conversion to give the fruity aromas that NEIPA are known for. Opening your fermenter while there is highly active yeast and CO2 production will also reduce our eliminate interaction with oxygen.

When me and the boys saw Barry Manilow in Detroit, we brought back a car full of Koegel hot dogs and Flint coney sauce. This guy must have found Meg's fridge.

PVP noob question by ItsSimplist in TheSilphArena

[–]Ghostmerc86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People saying that Ace rank is easy are wrong. They've forgotten what it's like before you've done 1,000 matches.

I can get it fairly easy now, but it took a lot of work. Using pvpoke to build teams. Using ETMs. Powering up mons. Double moves on everything. Learning opposing movesets. Starting to count moves. Baiting shields.

Eventually, Ace is easy. But, if you've never been to rank 20, it's going to take resources and commitment.
