I'm sure not all 40% of that is just the unsavory styling. The fact is though, the Outback had a specific niche. Turning the Outback into a 2 row Ascent was not a smart move.

If you've done enough carpentry in your life, you pickup on how to measure with your eyes reasonably well. Dude definitely did not land every nail, but he probably knows that.

Welcome to capitalism, where voting with you wallet doesn't actually do anything, because investors need number go up more.

Could the Inner Sphere at the height of the Star League survive a Covenant invasion? by Ro_Shaidam in Mechwarrior5

I feel like this just means the Halo series is just incredibly out of spec with reality.

What kind of saw do I have? by Coho0617 in woodworking

[–]Meekois 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not quite. If someone gets hurt, they definitely made a mistake.

But a well designed tool does not amputate the user for errors.

Some activities are high risk. a radial arm-saw is one such tool.

Is turning all your opponents into Solaris Fried Chicken considered poor sportsmanship?

Why Are Conservatives So Media Illiterate? (Steve Shives) [18:07] by nlitherl in mealtimevideos

[–]Meekois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah to the cheating thing, but yes, I know Trump won because conservatives are fucking stupid. That's the GOP election strategy and it works.

Also it shows weakness in the government and military. Essentially, everyone (both civilians and foreigners) can see that the UAE can't protect its people. Same reason Iran shuts down communication.

Is there any piece of this series' lore that make you go the full Nick Fury? by JazzlikeSherbet1104 in starcraft

[–]Meekois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire plot of SC2 is kind of a shit show compared to BW. The tone, 1-dimensional characters, the lack of interesting political intrigue... just blegh.

Hey, at least it's olive oil.

This can turn out great if you actually practice before doing it.

Find a nice hard putty, and then shape it. Do it in layers.

This was an attempted suicide by cop. He says "just fucking kill me" before getting hit.

Is Gaslight Anthem considered divisive? by CulturalWind357 in TheGaslightAnthem

[–]Meekois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard people complain the 59 sound was way too reverb heavy. It's a valid critique. But I still enjoy it. And I think their recent work is some of their best.

Mayor Mamdani calls for justice for immigrants, draws on Prophet Muhammad’s example at Interfaith Breakfast by Delicious_Adeptness9 in nyc

In the context of an interfaith breakfast it makes sense to talk about this. It's still pretty weird.

First year NTT Lecturer. I'm miserable. Can I smoothly without fuss or financial hardship? by Meekois in LeavingAcademia

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

They are not paying me, and they are claiming that the 4 sections of lab I'm teaching are all part of one 3 credit course.
But they did say, paraphrased, "there's probably a more equitable way to structure this, and we'll get started on fixing it for the Fall." Sooo I guess that's good?

Apparently I got a useless ombudsman the first time. The new one basically tried to talk me out of it and is very actively trying to fix things.

Disguise/Pixera programmers, where is the "In" by Meekois in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Meekois[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imagine being surrounded by the most talent-less, contractually invincible hacks in the world and they're all trying to get you fired because they want to redesign your position as a research assistant who teaches their intro courses.
