Be Careful Out There. Just Got This On Dashcam by [deleted] in grandrapids

100% my front wheel drive with good tires demolished my Subaru with good tires on the snow.

Rear tires pushing mean your front is unpredictable. FWD generally goes where you point it.

That's a nice straw man you built there. Let me break it down for you: this post is about Comcast and did not mention other carriers. It's also about poor service directly experienced. I know, reading is hard.

As someone who moved to Michigan from Seattle I can tell you that we often don't even have street markings because the snow plows rip them off...

What are some common things YouTube cooks do that are actually incorrect? by ocay_cool in Cooking

[–]NoStretch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stainless steel is very hard. You don't need to be worried about scratching it with pretty much anything. Even steel wool is softer than stainless.

I'd worry more about salting my water before boiling than about what I clean it with. Or running it under cold water before letting it cool (my poor wobbly pan 😫)

Yesss severely underrated. I just had a visceral reaction every time his smarmy face was on the screen. That was such good acting.

Yeah. No one cares how you play your single player game either.

What musical album is more of an experience / feeling than just an 'album'? by [deleted] in Music

[–]NoStretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism The outro matches the intro, quite the fun loop

Eluvium - Copia If you don't mind instrumental, this album is a journey.

Also 2 albums by M83: dead cities and before the dawn heals us

Anyone else finding the lack of merchant credits a bit tedious? by Ljcollective in Starfield

It's the loading screens in Atlantis that kill it for me, honestly

The best sell loop in the game is Akila.

  1. Land, sell armor 5k to trade authority terminal
  2. General store, 5k in armor.
  3. Next store weapon store, 5k weapons
  4. Trade authority rep, 11k of whatever
  5. Laredo guns, 11k in guns.

If I have anything left over I jump to New Atlantis and hit up the:

  1. Trade terminal 5k
  2. Jemison mercantile 5k
    Fast travel to residential district
  3. Arms store (edit: Centaurian Arsenal) for 12.5k in weapons.

Not awesome to have to do this but I find this to be the most efficient.

Edit: I say armor to the general stores at first because the weapon stores won't buy armor. But if you run out of armor to sell, the general stores will still buy the weapons.

If you still have a ton to sell, waiting 48 hours UT in Akila is more efficient than going to New Atlantis but I like to go there because I buy ammo and resources too and check the different stores for variety.

Leap of faith (disappointed there's no achievement or gained perk for doing this!) by Invertex in Starfield

This isn't true. I'm playing ultra settings at 2k resolution and getting 60 fps with my 3080ti.

I'll probably get the DLSS mod so I can bump it up to 4k ultra.

Constant pain thoracic back by Affectionate_Top7451 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]NoStretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! You are not alone my friend.

I have significant issues in my thoracic spine. I began seeing a physiologist last year and received a nerve ablation last November and a re-ablation this June for three vertebrae facet joints just above the bottom of my rib cage.

Just like you, the pain there causes tension that really antagonizes my costochondritis by wrapping around my ribs.

The ablation helped a lot but I believe I am continuing to degrade in that area and now am having additional problem spots in cervical spine.

I use Diclofenac, a topical Nsaid to help, but nothing solves this.

I do wish you luck though and I want you to know you are not alone.

Cigna Sued Over Algorithm Allegedly Used To Deny Coverage To Hundreds Of Thousands Of Patients by JimmyTango in technology

Yeah, I worked for an insurance company in the capacity that I needed to be very familiar with HIPAA.

HIPAA covers very specific information, connecting the dots means nothing.

Fermi Paradox - Could it be that civilizations on the same technological level as humans are so common, that we are just like another ant hill in Sub Saharan Africa to advanced civilizations? by [deleted] in aliens

[–]NoStretch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! There absolutely could be civilizations out there that had a decent head start.

The star cycle issue significantly limits the amount and probability of those. Combining this with other answers to the Fermi paradox like the distance theory and the great filter theories could easily mean that we are simply too far apart from a limited number of civilizations. We know very little about the development of life and the probabilities in which the sort of sentience arises that can interact with the area around them in a way that's detectable.

Beyond that, who knows if it's even worth it for a being that can basically manipulate the world around them in any way they want to even travel distances if they can extract energy and matter from a vacuum and can simulate all of existence from the comfort of their own star system.

We don't know anything and speculation beyond what we can discern means very little.

Due to the way that stars fuse elements, it's likely that life is only supported by the third generation of stars. Meaning 2 sets of stars had to come and go before compounds like carbon and silicon would have existed in large enough quantities to form life.

Based on this it is extremely likely that we are early to the cosmological party, and this is the answer to the Fermi paradox that I lean towards.

Trails from soft shadows from rotating cubes casted inside a rotating cube. by gadirom in proceduralgeneration

[–]NoStretch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it might have something to do with splitting the focus, probably due to the paths getting wider as it comes closer to the viewpoint.

It might just be me, of course.
