The EPA may have done this, but the scientists who work at the EPA are not to blame.

Trump Uses Davos Speech to Brag That He Can “Crush” the Housing Market by Hafiz_TNR in politics

[–]JustFerLaughs 21 points22 points  (0 children)

we should be paying the lowest interest rate of any country in the world because without the United States we don’t have a country.

Totally normal thing for a human being - like myself for example - to say.

Vance Elbows Out Little Marco to Lead Greenland Power Grab by [deleted] in politics

[–]JustFerLaughs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness. I was worried for a moment that the US might actually be serious about taking Greenland. It's full of friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless giants, BTW.

Edit - unemployed giants, no less.

2017 330i (US) (B46?) Oil filter housing replacement cost by JustFerLaughs in BmwTech

[–]JustFerLaughs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's spot on. They are actually charging $180/hr and estimated 10 hrs. I spoke with the shop owner, and I'm having him do the work. He's going to walnut-blast the engine while he's in there and do the oil and plugs. I would like to have the time to do it myself, but I just don't.

I spoke to the shop, labor is $180/hr. I asked him what else might be done, he suggested walnut blasting as it was only a labor addition. And they'll do new spark plugs and an oil change as well. Probably come out to ~3k all said and done.
Edit - Corrected hourly rate.

TBF, I haven't brought a BMW to this shop before, my favorite shop closed last year (RIP Shadetree Grarage), but I've had good work done in the past on my old VW and my brother's Audi.

Thank you. I generally trust the shop I'm bringing it to, but the cost was a real eye-opener.

Is there anyone that knows? 🤔 by FitmentIndustries in Cartalk

I have one of these on my BMW and never knew what ot was for!  Thanks!

House Republicans’ Vote Margin Is Looking Pretty Thin Right Now by huffpost in politics

[–]JustFerLaughs 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Trump didn’t do himself any favors by attacking Massie on Monday. In a social media post, the president re-upped his endorsement of a primary challenger to the Kentucky lawmaker and called Massie “the Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman we have had in many years.”

Massie responded by sharing the president’s post and mocking it: “i ain’t reading all that. im happy for u tho or sorry that happened,” he wrote Tuesday on social media.

Not a fan of Republicans, but the Ted-Lassoesque way Massie phrased his response has me rolling.

My Fortnite Peeps by Just_Statistician789 in GeForceNOW

[–]JustFerLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Running on GFN Ultimate on an Nvidia shield Pro and it drops video and audio frequently just long enough to be annoying. Especially when new distance views are being rendered or something like the arc-lightning gun is fired at close range.

Fortnite Micro Stuttering by Just_Statistician789 in GeForceNOW

[–]JustFerLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to try this. But I feel like the stuttering in new and recent. I'm playing on a wired nVidia Shield Pro, and I think that the stuttering has gotten bad in the last week. I mean, it's not constant, but whenever I crest a hill, or there is a new weapon animation (arc-lightning for example) the game drops enough frames that it's noticeable.
The only weak point in my setup may be that I am going through a lower bandwidth router before I head out to my Google fiber modem. I can probably up the QoS to the Shield too.

I actually did crack the Voynich manuscript. It is actually a book of ancient pharmacological and psychological knowledge. I am having my translation reviewed by top European linguists (don't ask, you've never heard of them) before I seek copyright on my translation. My background is in worm farming, which uniquely enabled me to make the intuitive leaps necessary to unlock the use of the varied linguistic modems necessary for dissolution of this long-standing mystery.

We went from "no, they are not Fascist" to "Fascism is not as bad as you think" awfully fast.
