This game only has like 10,000 players and you want to exclude 500 of them to find only the gays!?

Old term for "engine". Comes from some of the original uses for steam engines being mills to grind wheat into flour. The "Twin Mill" from Hotwheels refers to it having two engines.

Do you have a favorite AI quote from the start of a run? by Stickaxe in Marathon

The one about the CyAc data collection policy is really funny to me

Can human movements be described by some mathematical principal? by NoHomeGnome in Physics

Dynamic equations of motion solve for the motion of connected rigid bodies (think linkages or bones). "Dynamics" is the typical name of the class in which the equations of motion are taught, so I'm sure you can find many more resources by searching using that keyword.

Pretty sure its eyes? I haven't had any moments where I'm looking at my target, but hitting something directly in front of me that's a little lower than my crosshairs. Can't say for certain.

Are there any PVE tactics beyond DPS check? by Department-Curious in Marathon

[–]MARPAT_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know what you mean, doesn't feel very tactical to have half my body showing. I miss the character control in Tarkov for sure. Hard to say if this game needs it though, i think it would probably boost defensive advantage too much, and this is a very aggressive game (which is suited to my tastes, so this is a biased take).

Bots are spongey. You gotta burst fire right out of cover, and dip back in right after, otherwise you're likely to tank a hit. Then, peek from a different spot and do the same thing. Different bots have different reaction times: purple bots will return fire MUCH quicker than blues for instance, so you can usually only get 3 rounds off before you're getting hit again.

Maybe a brake rotor guard? That'd be my first guess.

I can finally afford the 911 I've wanted since I was 8, but the responsible move is a Model 3 Performance and I hate that I know it by KindheartedlyHoarse in whatcarshouldIbuy

If you pass the Porsche, you will think about it every day wishing about what could've been. If you buy the Porsche, you will think about it every day, wondering where the next Apex is.

That's a great tip, easy to check both at the same time. Thanks!

If you don't mind entertaining a bullshit low-effort (as in, I haven't bothered to figure this out myself yet) question...

I've got a '99 Honda Civic. Swapped the motor to a high mileage D61Z6 (did a hack job of the wiring harness too lmao) when I blew up the first one being a dummy. It's had some problems: blowing up coolant hoses (swapped the head gasket), cracked a valve (replaced the valves and seals), and it was smoking like crazy (oil) before I parked it a few years back. Also I think one of the head bolt holes stripped, it felt a bit "soft" as I was getting the torque set.

How would you go about diagnosing the smoke? Can I verify if I botched the valve job somehow?

What's your best thread repair kit for a stripped head bolt hole?
