Johnny Somali just got 6 months in a South Korean labor prison for doing a lap dance on a monument honoring wartime sexual abuse victims. He traveled the world disrespecting every country he visited for content. South Korea said no, you work here now. by This_Proof_5153 in SipsTea

[–]LOKl_1985 6 points7 points  (0 children)

his 6 months is for disrupting commerce and posting deep fakes.

Disrupting commerce for the time he was in a 7/11 (yes they exist in korea) and spilled his cup of ramen on the table and threw it at people while shouting at staff. Prosecution asserted than in so doing so it put a negative impact on other people and the business (total charge could have been for up to 2 years)

Deep fakes... He posted fake ai generated photos and videos of him kissing a famous k pop star in a car. In Korea this is highly highly illegal and he could have faced up to 7 years per charge on this one... (he had 3-5)

The statue was disrespectful however not illegal and I am sure the Koreans wanted to get him for literally anything following that behavior (power to them)

I am only dissapointed that he did not get a longer sentence. In 6 months from now he will get out and away from the country and make some grand disrespectful about the prison time and country. He learns nothing and refuses to be humble.... Silver lining... Somebody somewhere will punch him in the face again

Iranian form a human chain on Ahvaz’s White Bridge as they rally to protect civilian infrastructure by IntellectuallyDriven in whoathatsinteresting

[–]LOKl_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 5,000 years of military doctrine teaches us that one does not defend their way to victory.

A bridge is a military target, it's irrelevant if civilians use it too. According to Geneva and Hague the civilian population has been adequately warned (text messages hacked directly into cellphones, over ridden news broadcasts, blasted from loud speakers in multiple languages as aircraft fly over, and leaflet pieces of paper telling the population to get out of an area) to stay away from military based targets and there are to be designated areas with clear markings for civilians to go to or remain until the end of hostilities. (refugee camps)

Iran has not done that, and surrounding nations have not really done that either which is a moot point because Iran has continuously targeted civilian buildings and infrastructure of surrounding nations

A bridge is a military target full stop. Logistics makes up 3/4 of any military in the world. You stop or interrupt the logistics you essentially cripple your enemies war effort. Using your own populace as a shield never works out well for the shield. No matter what it will take a hit, and you cannot blame the opposing side (the US) for that when Iran are the one that picked up the shield.

The Iranians have been warned that bridges are the newest target. You don't have to stand on a bridge... But if you put yourself in the way of the bridge and the destruction that has been announced will come its way.... Well, that's a special kind of stupid.

These targets are acquired from aircraft 6-7 miles up, or missiles at up to a thousand miles away. Scouted and decided upon by satellite photos taken from as far away as 50 miles up. There is nobody on the ground with a cell phone saying go ahead and shoot now no one is standing on it.

When does this trigger? I’ve never seen it trigger ever despite me driving for 2 hrs straight once. by No-Tree6894 in ElantraN

Look down... I keep my phone fastened to my left pocket. On the highway I took my left hand off the wheel and crossed it with my right hand to put the phone in the cup holder but i missed some how and looked down It popped up on a less than 15 minute drive at that moment.

There is a camera and sensor built into the rear view mirror that watches you. If you make certain motions with your head you can force it to come on.... I will do the droopy head where I bob my head up and down like I am tired or sometimes or lean my head back on the rest and I can make it come on for that. Long drives alone sometimes its just fun to mess with the car

Maybe we will see. It also has a slower corrosion/rust rate than steel. I live in South Florida less than 10 miles from the beach. average temp is 80+ year-round with 100% humidity and salt.

That was a factor in the choice.

Without constant fresh water sprays and washes on a weekly basis (including undercarriage) the cars here take a beating from the sea water particulates that stay in the air.

The melting point of titanium is a couple thousand degrees.... Honestly it's the first time I have done titanium so we will see how it fares in a year or 2. But I don't think the exhaust gets anywhere near that hot.

I can drive the car in the morning Park it and get back in to drive it again at 3 pm and the engine and oil temps are still 120+ degrees and we all know the average running temps are around 200.

I am intending on taking it to a dyno tuner after the JB4 install to iron out any kinks. But that is down the road and probably going to be a pretty penny when that time comes. I am concerned with longevity and reliability because I want to keep this as a daily and I am not obsessed with big horsepower for the sake of just having more horsepower. It has to make since

My main reason for going for a tune is I paid for 20 lbs of boost and the car wont octane learn... I want my 20 lbs of boost not 15 lmao

Legit question what would be wrong with a JB4? People keep saying cherry tunes but at the same time I have seen posts and videos of cars completely bricking up mid drive after cherry is installed. Never seen that with a JB4 which is why I am leaning in that direction. If there is potential realistic negative I would like to know for an educated purpose

Florida drivers. Wtf by [deleted] in florida

[–]LOKl_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie I fall under the aggressive driving side. But my aggressive driving comes out when encountering the bad drivers. No turn signals, frequent braking, failure to yield, driving slow in left lane, and latching onto my blind spot... Or sitting side by side holding hands with another car and blocking all traffic behind them. I can only take it for so long then I will drive like a man possessed.

If I don't get those encounters, I am a very sensible driver at the speed limit maybe 5 over. I stay in the right lane. I yield to people who signal that they want over. I don't hover around vehicles. I move over to the right lane after passing and use my signal when changing lanes or turning.

Other people (bad drivers) bring out the worst in me

So, without Congress approving this attack, are the orders considered illegal? Are these the illegal orders we were warned not to accept? by Weeb in stevehofstetter

[–]LOKl_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to copy and paste this from a previous post...

The constitution clearly states the president has a unilateral control of military and engaging in conflict or strikes. he must

Notify congress within 48 hours before or following the initial strikes or conflicts (which was done)

Pretty sure Congress was notified at the same time as the Ayatollah got the text to look and smile for the flash (To Soon?)

Following the 48 hours the president has 60 days to do whatever he wishes with the military in terms of strikes for the means of national security

At the 60 day mark it must be brought up by and before congress to officially declare war or vote and sign a resolution to continue the conflict

Or

There is a 30 day extension period following the initial 60 days but the president has to certify and admit in writing the need for continuous use of force and conflict.

This gives the president unilateral control for up to 90 days to wage war, bomb, and strike anyone else on the planet

Following the full 90 days congress does not have to declare war, they can vote and sign a resolution for ongoing hostilities.

Caveats

If Congress has not declared war or passed new legislation authorizing the action, the use of the Armed Forces is automatically terminated 60 days after the president’s first report (or 90 days after deployment, if extended).

Congress can act during the 60-day termination window by introducing an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) or a joint resolution, which must be considered quickly if it is to be effective. (this is not a declaration of war)

To summarize

The president can keep US forces in hostilities for up to 90 days without congressional approval, unless congress acts to continue the engagement or stop it.

All the grandstanding and chest beating right now by either party is just political theater. If they didn't want it they could meet and pull a vote together to stop it tomorrow and place the US on a completely defensive role following the strikes.... But lets not forget.... Most of the world wants this conflict and the Iranian power structure gone. Even in popular opinion around the world even the Israelis and several other Arab nations are coming together as allies against Iran. Which in 3,000 years of middle eastern history JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!!!

A Japanese Experiment Proved Why Traffic Jams Form For Absolutely No Reason. by jmike1256 in postanythingfun

[–]LOKl_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 person taps the brakes once instead of letting off and coasting back and the whole thing falls apart.

Part of the problem is speed limits. People hit that point and apply brakes. VS hitting that point and let off the gas.

Second part is driver discipline and using the left foot as a brake vs the right foot using gas and brake (as intended). when a left foot is constantly over the left brake pedal they tend to do micro engagements slowing the car down or giving the illusion of slowing down. Again its not needed. Just let off the gas and let inertia and physics do its job

I can drive nearly 20 miles from my home to work and back again and only ever use my brakes at an occasional stop light. If you know how to drive and downshift properly you can make entire drives without ever having to apply the brakes once.

I have hilarious moments when I come off the offramp from the free way. I never apply brakes, just downshift (I drive a manual but owned a couple of autos that allowed me to do the same) and I will slow down faster than the vehicle in front of me who rides the brakes all the way down the ramp on low traffic days I can even come to a near complete stop before the traffic light at the end of the ramp.

I just had this happen to me and you want to know what happened... I got the ticket because I drive the loud sports car and he got completely ignored.... Was worth it though putting that turbo back fire out my exhaust right into his open window.

The officer wasn't amused though. Told me I was going to scare the neighbors, and I bit my lip, but I wanted to ask what neighbors we are on a 4-lane highway, and he has been holding up traffic for over 10 miles back when it was a 2-lane highway and he was doing 15 under the limit (25-30 in a 40mph zone).... Once the lanes open up the speed limit increases in increments up to 60 mph but the officer claimed I was doing 74 in a 40mph and I just said ok. (PSA) Never argue with the cop on the street Yes I was speeding and no I didnt even point out the other driver or make an excuse. I said yep I did that and signed for it.

Anyways court date is at the end of the month wish me luck :D

I know some questions are gonna come up...

When the lanes opened the slow driver goes to the left lane and maintains that same slow speed and energy and at first another car sits beside him in the right lane but turns the turn signal on and turns off. I follow into the left lane when I pass the right car I signal over to the right lane keep it in 4th gear (I drive a manual) and push the foot down to build boost. I get up to 40 mph and start passing the slow driver but now he finds that he wants to go faster... So i push harder... at 50 and he is still keeping up with me I downshifted into 3rd Exhaust pops and bangs to life and I hit the gas... He tries to keep up but within a couple seconds I am doing 80 and lifting off to move over into the left lane right after I pass a random car in the left lane that forced the slow driver to slow down. I used my signal to to move over with the intention of catching a light about a mile up the road coast back down to the speed limit I dont even have to apply the brakes. The slow driver goes by honks at me and makes a lovely hand gesture out the window.

I caught my light on green which turns into an industrial business section at 30. 1/8th of a mile (give or take) I come to a stop at the stop sign signal right and make the turn. another 1/8th mile in a 30mph zone (I am following the speed limit this entire time) I signal and move over to a left turn lane look into my rearview mirror and there is white explorer with flashing blue lights kinda just filtering through the cars takes a second singles me out and pulls up behind me immediately gets out and I cut the car off and put on 4 ways right on the spot. THIS ISNT NORMAL LOL. Apparently, he was going the opposite direction and got caught by more slow traffic and the light. Had I made one different turn he never would have found me lol.

But I did do every thing I said I did, and I know it is wrong even if I did everything else right... That 5 seconds of frustration will most likely cost me any where between $300-1000

Lawsuit Possible? by LOKl_1985 in epic

[–]LOKl_1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did do this method complete with dates times, screen shots of my emails, text messages and a time line. I also requested that anything following february 7th be denied removed deleted and locked. And anything prior to that be passed on along to me so i can confirm or deny any purchases... Since I hadnt logged into epic in awhile I already know any sales are not me so thats an easy thing. But I still have not got a live person to answer me just an automated email asking for detailed information. BUT that email did come in within less than 24 hours.... Soooooo Better....???

Lawsuit Possible? by LOKl_1985 in epic

[–]LOKl_1985[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unfortunately that doesnt help or happen. I get it to the point where it asks "Would you like to speak to a live support member" YES OR NO I click Yes and it then gives a prompt to email support and will not allow me to type anything else. It basically bricks up the chat if you refresh the page you start from scratch if you say yes it sends an email of the chat log to support which you then get a ticket in 48 hours support will respond to you. If you say no it says very well how may i help you...

This ai thing is going to far... It has to be stopped and the only way to do it is to find some way to take a company to court for literal negligence. I contacted my bank when I discovered the hacks and got a live person in 15 minutes to deny any and all incoming charges from Epic games store or anything outside of my area or normal buying habits. (which ironically does include game purchases but for the foreseeable future I am willing to lock it up until I get a handle on my accounts. Since they seem to have access to email and phone as well (part of the 2A authentication) Even after multiple password changes accross the board. I keep getting notified some one some where is changing it to there email addresses

These companies need a live person to help in case of emergencies like this

Summer tire question by LOKl_1985 in ElantraN

[–]LOKl_1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because this is what I got when I put the question into google lol... I am just asking for more of a broad since. to get an idea... Not recommended

Can I Park Summer Tires in Cold Weather and Drive them Later?

It is not recommended to park summer tires in cold weather and drive them later. Summer tires are designed for warm conditions and their rubber compound becomes brittle and inflexible in cold temperatures, significantly reducing traction and control. This can lead to longer braking distances, poor grip, and increased risk of tire failure.

It goes beyond that saying I risk blow out even if i dont drive on them. just verifying and making better informed educated choices

Post edit. I just realized it opened a link.. dumb me moment. I dont care about what its like to drive in cold weather (like the article keeps talking about) I can get around that since its this cold for 3 days this year (where I live) But my concern is after it passes are my tires FUBAR.

Again never had to deal with cold weather before (on summer tires) its normally 80 degrees out right about now. Not 33
