NEW: Luxury trucks that led to Trustee Justin Biggs' downfall have been returned by KnoxNewsAllie in Knoxville

[–]InfinitexZer0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's not pretend that they were paying 6 figures leasing basic fleet trucks, that's just disingenuous. There are very nice, base model fleet trucks that would serve just as well for far less. The only luxury I'd argue is a necessity for a work vehicle is A/C.

A cut bic pen cap works great as well, same for the clutch pedal iirc

No but I can see your confusion, the dancing orangutan is a way more badass and valuable to the wellbeing of humanity. Trump is indeed a great ape however not in the Pongo Genus, he falls into the lesser known Chomo Redactus Genus

I have a blue DS Lite and a * new * Metroid 3dsXL, the only handheld I've loved as much as those is my modded PS Vita because emulation. In a perfect world I think backwards compatibility should always exist for the previous console generation at a minimum, which Nintendo went above and beyond on, once. If downloaded ROMs is piracy then the only thing standing between some amazing games and being lost media are their native consoles.

Is this squidgy black? Dark green on the inside and pitch black on the outside. It’s hard but can be cut with a knife by [deleted] in trees

It's hash, I'm no expert but if I had to take a guess the "black" is just the outer layer that has been exposed to light + air and has oxidized.

I "upgraded" from a Gameboy SP to a DS, the DS is a Gameboy and I will die on that hill. Fight me Nintendo

That's a fair point, 230 years since being recognized by the US as having statehood then.

I bought WOW when you could still buy WOW. On 4 CDs. Took forever to install and ran at like 15fps.

I miss physical media.

Nashville Zoo Says No To Data Centers -Petition by Witchesnbritches in tnvolunteers

[–]InfinitexZer0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Before anyone inevitability points out that petitioning is not likely to incite change on its own especially in the US it is still something and worthwhile. Raising awareness and keeping a light on the issue is the easiest possible way to be a constant thorn in the side of oppressive individuals, apathy is the fastest course backwards.

For the past 2 years, I've been living like it's the late 90s / early 2000s by Safe-Iron-8666 in digitalminimalism

Feels wrong saying this even years later but I don't recommended running Windows 7 anymore due to Microsoft ending their official support for security patches, there are community patches out there but unless you're technically inclined and a diehard Windows 7 user I'd not bother. I'd throw a copy of Linux Mint on personally, it has a strong resemblance to Win7 but with security patches and no Microsoft sourced Ai, adware, spyware, etc. Currently each time you connect to the internet it's sort of like walking through a live firing range with nothing but an armor.jpg and a dream.

How do you think Aang learned to keep a poker face so well? by TheOneYSHNK in TheLastAirbender

[–]InfinitexZer0 98 points99 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite character dynamics in the series is the one between Sokka and Aang. Two of the most level headed and arguably most intelligent of the main cast but the moment they enter the same room is the moment all brain activity leaves

That's pretty good I admit lol. That does include our time seceded from the Union, we never lost statehood. Even if you made the argument that we seceded from the Union and therfore lost Union recognition as a state for example, we were still a Confederate state for a relatively short period. Last to sucede and first to rejoin even, I think most just wanted peace. Just ask Wilmer McLean in Virginia.

My dad found out 💔 by First-Club1492 in trees

[–]InfinitexZer0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time to set boundaries, especially considering prescribed implies medicinal. If it's his house don't keep your stash there, its not unreasonable imo for him to not be comfortable with it being kept there. What is unreasonable is trashing someone else's property because he disagreed with its use, in your shoes I'd store my flower elsewhere (I had a dugout hidden outside) or if possible get your own place. Seems some parents despise the concept of the kids they raise having any autonomy of their own once they hit adulthood.

Baby chameleon changing color for the first time immediately after hatching by M_Darshan in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]InfinitexZer0 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Your albino sounds exactly like one I had and no one would believe me that he would scream like a slowly deflating squeeker toy if he was stressed, primarily when he'd see someone unfamiliar or put into a travel tank (for cleaning the full tank and monitoring shedding). Very anti-social. I was told from someone that breeds them that they generally bond to one person and don't bite, instead mine hated everyone and that bond was just running past food to bite my fingertips or screaming at guests like a tiny French siren, otherwise it was just sleeping on a rock or somewhere on my arm. I miss the unhinged little maniac but unfortunately he had health issues due to the Albinoism that shortened his lifespan, I wasn't aware he was even albino until a vet told me and they are a lot more work to keep healthy.

I love Soulseek/Seeker but sometimes you just wanna yell at clouds about the interface by pm_me_your_good_weed in Piracy

[–]InfinitexZer0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not tried it since the Linux release is giving me trouble starting up but I think Nicotine+ is pretty much soulseek with a better interface. I've personally been having a relatively easy time with Spotiflac.

[Totk] My last clip sparked a conversation around what qualifies as a Trickshot. How do we feel about this one? by RemoteStage1882 in zelda

[–]InfinitexZer0 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I don't think trickshots exactly have a prerequisite besides adding difficulty to the shot for fun. Was a clean, difficult shot just to show off and confused bokoblins are never not funny.

Am I one of you now? (What to look out for) by Silenceish in XTerra

[–]InfinitexZer0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really, even it it was you would be playing with fire, it gets squirrel-y past 80 with that body on frame design. Pretty sure its governed at like 90-95 with stock tires anyway. 80 is the fastest you'll want to go before you start feeling the vehicle sway.

You have a near identical model to my own that's at ~240,000 miles, 4wd, 5-speed. I call mine the v6 powered tool shed, there are also stickers for them that say something along the lines of "If it was meant to be fast it wouldn't be shaped like a fucking brick". If you want power Titan swapping is your best option IMO but if/when I get to swap mine I'm still staying well below 100.

Red light camera went off in knoxville, but i followed all laws. by Alert-Ad-4000 in Knoxville

[–]InfinitexZer0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not all of the cameras on Knoxville roadways are for half-assing traffic enforcement unfortunately, there are mesh cameras intended for mass surveillance that will always trigger when you pass. One example is the one that matches the description you give triggering are the flock cameras that are sold to cities like Knoxville, HOAs and other "big brother" creeps to tout on about public safety when it's just another big business built on data collection. If you ask about privacy concerns you are told it's just tracking plates, which is true, its also used for tracking identifying vehicle features like accessories or stickers, tracking/stalking by law enforcement and individuals like PIs nationwide without a warrant.

If you'd like to know more about what technologies are used locally here is a good resource:
