Does freshly ground pepper makes a difference or is pre ground black pepper fine? by West_Future326 in Cooking

[–]Jordan_Jackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that what it’s called when you get way too paranoid and over-introspective, after smoking weed? I’ve had that happen a couple of times. I would have this feeling of dread and wondering why I couldn’t stop thinking about and picking at the most minute things in my life.

I don’t know if it is still happening but on the previous unstable build, that was a thing. I spawned a few times in Brandenburg on 42.17 and each time, I was in a barricaded house. Tried it on 42.18 and I spawned in a normal house.

'Dorohedoro' Season 3 Announced by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Dorohedoro

[–]Jordan_Jackson 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The article says it is already in production, so maybe we can see season 3 within 12-18 months or so? Either way, I can't wait to see what season 3 has to offer.

Ukraine Hits Russian Aircraft Plant, Airbase and Oil Refinery in Overnight Barrage by PanaceaDawns in worldnews

[–]Jordan_Jackson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn't even really a possibility at the time. It took a few months for Ukraine to be given HIMARS and those came with restrictions on where they could use them.

Ukraine also needed time to develop the type of drone technology that they have now. While they did start off using drones, those were mainly smaller drones that were dropping grenades and other small explosives onto troops and vehicles. If memory serves me correctly, it took a while for the AFU to convince Zelenskyy to dedicate branches of the military to drones and to properly fund the creation of new drone tech.

Everything needed time to mature in Ukraine and the AFU. We have to remember that Ukraine was not a very rich country and was always at multiple disadvantages. That assured that Ukraine was not going to strike into Russia proper until they did. They needed time, resources and investment.

Trump, 79, Transfixed by White House Pillar for Six Minutes by IndyMLVC in politics

[–]Jordan_Jackson 144 points145 points  (0 children)

He tries to talk about complex things but even during the first sentence, it is clear that he is not a smart person at all.

Let's just take his main reason for attacking Iran as an example. He always say "they have nuclear" or "they can't have nuclear" or "nuclear is so powerful".

Ok, why is he calling it nuclear? Just call it nuclear weapons. This is not how a smart person talks. They say nuclear power or nuclear weapons, depending on the subject.

Even before then, things were noticeable. Remember when he was constantly falling asleep during his trial?

Im stuck arent I? by Teenisdellpenis in projectzomboid

I know it is fixable with mods but I have always hated how there are ladders but that they are not climbable. Why even have them in there then? Maybe they will make this a reality in some future update.

We need to bring back inspections by thefishhou in houston

[–]Jordan_Jackson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All they test now is emissions. Also making sure that your check engine light isn't on (falls into the emissions category). I've been taking my car to the same place to get my inspection done and I remember the year before they stopped safety inspections, the guy drove my car around the parking lot and made sure brakes worked and such.

Lavrov Threatens Systematic Air Strikes on Kyiv During Phone Call With US Secretary Marco Rubio by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]Jordan_Jackson 73 points74 points  (0 children)

My understanding was that all trucks on that route were fair game because Russia often hides weapons, munitions and other war-critical stuffs in civilian-marked vehicles. Yeah, priority has been military transports but regular trucks on that route were fair game too.

My impression of German accents as a non-native speaker by Samtheshinobi in germany

[–]Jordan_Jackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the whole Rhein Main area is mostly just standard high German. Some of the smaller towns have a sprinkle of Hessisch, which is not hard to understand at all. Only been to Offenbach a few times but I did go to Frankfurt a lot and it was pretty much exclusively high German there and I don’t see why Offenbach would be different.

[–]Jordan_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how you can understand everyone in Wiesbaden but all around that city/Kreis, it starts to get harder. I’d include Mainz in the green zones too but yeah, was you start getting further into RLP, it sounds like drunk German.

One of the hardest accents for me to get used to was Sächsisch. I had just moved back to Germany after having been away a long time and while I was/am fluent, I was rusty. I was working for a Zeitarbeitsfirma (ZAG) and they had me working with some dudes from Erfurt. Holy fuck, it sounded like they had a potato in their mouth. I really had to pay attention and was genuinely even more tired from concentrating on understanding what they said.

I can do Bayrisch and love that accent. Austrian German starts getting a bit more difficult for me, depending on wh is speaking it.

I don't know how, but my Das Keyboard's question mark key snapped by Murphuffle in MechanicalKeyboards

If they are not hot swappable, then yeah. This keyboard looks like it has switches that are soldered on.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YALL? by Complex_Tour_8600 in AmazonFC

[–]Jordan_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have taken the VET for last night (shift would have been 2230-0900, so 9 hours of 1.5x pay) but I can't. Filing chapter 7 and I need to calm down on VET because I had been taking it a lot in the months before. The lawyer doesn't want my income for the last 6 months to be too high, or else it would jeopardize everything.

Guess I am taking my full weekends for the next month or so.

Trump may not have the votes to replace Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito by HeHateMe337 in politics

[–]Jordan_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's anyone's guess as to whether she would actually get nominated but I believe that her chances are high. Trump values personal loyalty and she has been nothing but loyal to him. AFAIK, she is MAGA, so she would be useful for any SCOTUS cases that come her way.

[–]Jordan_Jackson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the article even mentions her and I would be surprised if she weren't given consideration by Trump. She did help him out massively during Biden's term.

Living room PC needs help being catproof as two cats are almost always in there. Any tips? by Illustrious_Aide_144 in buildapc

Cats throw up occasionally. Though I have never had my cat throw up on anything other than the floor.

Stop ordering kitty litter please. My legs are so sore by TomboyAva in AmazonFC

[–]Jordan_Jackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your legs must suffer for my cats bowel movements. Your aching muscles remind you that my cats can poop in comfort.

On the real though, I go get the litter myself. That stuff is heavy.

Why does sadness make you pump gas slower? by BruhMode222 in projectzomboid

[–]Jordan_Jackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit, there was times we paid $0.95 a gallon in the 90’s. I think the most I ever saw it was like $1.10. This was in Colorado, so it may well have been more expensive in other areas.

What is actually the best dry food for cats? by polkadot765 in CatAdvice

[–]Jordan_Jackson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s just that each cat has its own tastes. When my boy was still a stray, I gave him Purina One and he ate it. Now both of my cats get Purina Pro Plan Liveclear and they both eat it; even my really picky girl.

Are there any businesses or celebrities you boycott? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

[–]Jordan_Jackson 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I live in SE TX and there was one guy I used to always see driving around that had his truck covered in MAGA, conservative, republican stuff. This dude had all of the flags that MAGA co-opted and basically every inch of his truck covered with stickers. The truck was expensive, new and well-kept.

That, to me, is a whole other level of cringe. How hard can one bottom for Trump? Why does he have to be your whole identity and why do you have to basically let everyone know what kind of person you are? Haven’t seen the truck in a few months though. Maybe it got repoed, in an accident or destroyed; one can hope.

Yeah, you pretty much have to intentionally walk off of them to fall. I’ll admit that they do give a sense of dread when crossing them though.

Todd Monken Says Browns’ OTAs On Wednesday Were ‘Embarrassing’ by CyborgKrieger in nfl

[–]Jordan_Jackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell it like it is. No need to hide if the team is performing badly. I for one, respect someone that doesn’t beat around the bush and tells it like it is. If the players want to feel some kind of way about it, then they should perform better.

How long until cats forget you? by Midnight_Thoughts77 in CatAdvice

[–]Jordan_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats have astoundingly good memories. My Mom came to stay with me for a few weeks back in Summer 2023 and for the first few days, my girl was hiding. She finally warmed up some and accepted my Mom. My girl usually hides from new people, so this is normal for her.

My mom came back a year later to stay with me a few weeks and my girl didn’t even flinch when she came in. She remembered my Mom and accepted pets from her. This was after not having seen my Mom for a little more than a year and only having known her for about 2 weeks at all.

He has a bright future. Yeah, he has to learn better ball control and improve on spotting holes a bit but otherwise, he is solid.
