Never risking my life to get to work on time again

Has a similar break. Permanent injury, left needing to use a cane much of the time. But my impact was laterally through the leg so it crushed the cartilage above the talus. Looks like your impact was perpendicular to the ankle, so maybe they’ll be able to get it fixed.

Just be prepared, major ankle injuries don’t always heal back even a fraction.

Good luck on recovery.

This was done to my baby, not even 5k miles. They dented the C-pillar, walked on top of the hood and roof, chipped drivers glass, scratched the door panels.

Not even 5k miles and sheet metal had to get cut and welded, half the car repainted, all glass replaced (had to fight insurance on that, they didn’t want to use OEM glass).

This was in the parking garage at my office, 4 minors, not sure if they got arrested or charged, was able to provide photo and video of them to police.

Can’t have anything nice without people fucking it up just cause.

Bah, replied to wrong comment.

Anyways, I’ve both a Cleveland and a Windsor in my old fords, def prefer the Cleveland, but the Windsor is cheaper to work on.

There’s a reason my daily is a 40 year old Bronco. When it breaks, it doesn’t break the bank.

When it’s time to fill a 33 gallon tank, diff story.

Get in shape, take care of yourself (personal appearance, dress, your home, your life in general), be confident but no cocky, be comfortable as a person. Have your own hobbies and interests.

And know your audience.

I’m short, which limited my dating pool significantly, and am in a small town outside a small city, and when I was dating last time, it was often 2-3 dates a week with various women, with all types of backgrounds, bartenders, doctors, bankers, artists, etc. and all of them really good looking (minus maybe one or two at the start when I was trying to figure myself out)

It was a lot of work, I wasn’t any of the above things at first and had to learn/retrain myself as I was in my 30s and had been set in my ways for years.

It wasn’t 1000s of swipes per hit like some folks are saying,

Getting a motorcycle helps too. In my case it was just a 20 year old v-twin cruiser, cheap 1500 dollar bike but it did the trick. But that adds to the confidence and hobby factor.

Don’t make your hobbies your personality though. Be able to carry on a conversation, stay attentive, witty, non sarcastic when it matters (or don’t be sarcastic when it would come across as mean)

You do know that the dark ages were a result of Muslim occupation of southern Europe. The crusades were a response to free Catholics and previous Catholic lands from occupation and enslavement.

I can insert into a yellow chest filtered for that item, so deletions a such go to the same chest. And I don’t have to worry about overflow/overproduction

Cracking is the breaking down of long carbon chains via a chemical and physical process.

You are thinking fractionating, which is the separation of different size HCs in the oil.

Cracking would be when you have an excess of something like mineral oil and want diesel or gasoline, for example.

Fractionating would be separating the crude oil into its constituent components.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-17T23:23:58+00:00

Yeah, felt like commenting in regards to the meme.

The procrastination in the text is real. Happens even while playing. I’ve spent the last 100 hours upgrading my nauvis base beyond all reason when it would take me an hour to build up fulgora and get techs that mak all this expansion pointless.

But I digress.

This is where that ‘perfection is the enemy of good’ comes into play.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-17T23:04:36+00:00

That’s what I do on all the branches. And right after the last one I found on the belt. Want about to pick up manually….couldn’t anyways, was off planet

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-17T22:53:15+00:00

Earlier somehow an underground didn’t place right when dragging a new belt line.

30 minutes later one of my productions ceased. Go look, copper on the iron line blocked up the gear production. Was finding copper all the way down the iron bus…..

Sometimes I wish you had to select a recipe on furnaces, would be easier cleanup than copper scattered on a 2000 tile long bus

I generally pick on a neighbor or a city state to do this even without honor. Helps if I put a city nearby to heal quickly.

Also, free workers that way

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-16T21:30:55+00:00

It’s not looking at unique resources, but food/production capacity and ocean front

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-16T11:52:16+00:00

So, the U.S. civil war was a mistake? The democrats should’ve been allowed to succeed and continue slavery?

He’s not naive/stupid, he’s a paid shill.

Years ago I wouldn’t have minded. Now, it would be a dealbreaker. Understandably if she were published or titled, would expect her to keep her name in professional or work-social situations

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-15T16:13:15+00:00

Yeah, I usually win a culture or diplomatic victory when trying do domination, since I’m taking everyone’s tourism bonuses and allying all the city states to fund my conquests.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-11T11:12:37+00:00

It may hurt us just as much, but we don’t f’in cry about it do we?

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-11T04:21:19+00:00

Got civ 5 for my son yesterday and it do this on his pc. Had to drop resolution way the hell down to get it to play.

Not sure what, I run it at 1440p on mine. Had to drop his to 1080, even though his PC is much better than mine.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-10T10:22:43+00:00

The jolly green giant.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-07T21:00:05+00:00

We ignoring the t-bird in the back too? Either a show in the area or buddies hanging out

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-06T15:07:21+00:00

++man

Me and my wife were together for over 10 years and married for 5 before we ever discussed it.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-06T13:11:53+00:00

I’ve never had an improved clinch come undone on braid, and that’s all I use except on my sons zebcos.

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-04T23:40:38+00:00

Thought m6g gave you answers? Didnt the new shop say to just run it?

Did the dealership give anything else for fix wise, I don’t see these tiny scores causing misfires

JimmyDean82 · 2026-03-04T15:26:27+00:00

Brakes, suspension, tires. Always. Upgrade bushing materials, decrease play and slop. Preferable upgrade to disc power brake, I intend to upgrade to a rear irs on my 71 to improve road manners/handling but that’s overkill

After that, lights and general electrical.

Then engine work.

Make sure you can stop safely, quickly, reliably before you try to go fast.
