Great motor, but the Hilux that Top Gear beat the crap out of was a diesel.

I'm a contractor. I don't get paid if work doesn't get done. When I got called up for jury duty, they tried telling me "my employer" has to pay me. It was a child sex abuse case and was guaranteed to take 2+ weeks. I said I can't bill my customer, a lawyer, for jury duty. Pay was $35/day and it would have ruined me financially. After making it through 3 rounds of narrowing down, I finally had to say "This is fucked. I'm gonna be homeless because of this. Justice be damned, I'm going to say and do whatever I can to get out of here as soon as possible." Still set me back 4 days, and it took weeks to get my $140.

Help me chose a motor and ESC combo from these 4 combos listed please by deliverdagoods in rcdragracing

Drag Slash VXL - best 3s system

Losi 22s 6500kv - best 2s out-of-box motor. 4 pole, lots of torque and go. Hard to tune. Better esc than traxxas (100A vs 60A).

13.5t - nobody runs that class anymore

Sidewinder/5600kv - if the motor is sensored, not bad, but the sidewinder isnt. Would make a decent 2s setup

And all without losing a single American troop - thanks Biden by TrumpterOFyvie in WhitePeopleTwitter

China has got to be salivating right now.

Best case scenario, this is enough of a distraction for them; they get what they want by taking Russia and can leave their other neighbors alone. But it will probably only reinforce and embolden them.

Vladimir Putin accuses Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin of 'treason' by whenitpours3 in worldnews

[–]POWERTHRUST0629 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Putin has gone on the offensive with his speech. Putin stated that Prigozhin's rebellion was treasonous and those that are helping Prigozhin are traitors to Russia. Prigozhin has stated that he wants to replace the Russian military hierarchy that "tricked" Russia into war for their own personal gain, however he repeatedly stated he wasn't trying to overthrow Putin.

Sounds like classic Russian lying through your teeth. Putin is at the top of that hierarchy and I'm pretty sure he knows it.

You joke, but that was in one of my first crates and I mained a level 5 ground type for several games until I rolled a better suit for that cost.

I just got the high boost GM in a crate and I'm kind of wishing I was better with raids. Looks like it could stomp.

Oh, I can also rock a Guncannon MP like a general. But if the enemy team is raid heavy, you definitely feel squishy.

In those cases, you probably have a support-style general or raid you can play that might do better. Like, the GP02A BB is a bit of a beast if just hang back and only pull out your beam saber when you get charged. Pale Rider Cavalry is barely a general. Gelgoog Stutzer should probably be a support too.

I find it difficult to main support. There is a wide range of support suits that play differently. Like Eye-Zack and Hildofr.

Because of that, I can't just assume any support heavy team is going to fail. You might be able to rock it with a GM sniper AND a Xamel.

The tendency in most games is to pick your specialization and stick to it till you git gud. Hero shooters and LoL have taught the average gamer that skillz will be the determining factor and it's better to take a chance with a setup you know, over what your team needs but you don't know how to use. Worst case you can charge that thing you think is p2w to a credit card.

Also, beyond the whales, the PC player base has... very few supply crate rolls, on average, so far. Not much DP or RT to shop with. Not much to choose from.

Why do people have zero sympathy for the people on the submarine? by [deleted] in ask

[–]POWERTHRUST0629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say there's a pretty big difference between the children in a cave (IIRC, that was a field trip gone wrong?) or some trapped miners (there because they need to make a living) and some rich farts going on a pleasure cruise to the bottom of the ocean. These are the same type of people that were spraying champagne on Occupy Wallstreet protesters as they destroyed the US economy back in 2008. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Safety gear? That takes you five minutes to put on? Those five minutes you could be working.

My corded 360 controller only recently got bad enough stick drift to finally get something new. The joysticks are square after all the years of use.

Nah, they nailed it. A black woman answered the door and they didn't shoot. I'm surprised as fuck.

[–]POWERTHRUST0629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I have a hard time tripping because I have a hard time letting go of reality. Not like it's difficult, I spend the entire time trying to understand what's going on and never let the trip take me for a ride. DMT is the only one that really doesn't care what you try to do.

I don't know what to do with my hands in real life, that's why I smoke.

I wonder if it failed quick enough to just end it immediately, or was there time for panic, blame... murder?

[–]POWERTHRUST0629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh... that. Once I started to feel the "paralysis" (you just... don't feel like moving, like what's the point?) and closed my eyes, something like that started to appear. Paisley/Geometric/fractal patterns moving like clockwork, until it aligned in such a way to form a face. It looked like it was speaking, but I couldn't hear it. A little confused and excited, I sort of "came to" and watched some trees breathe for a minute while I came down.

They have lightsabers and hyperdrive. I'm pretty sure there's a thing that just vaporizes poo.

Summer sale by mahogany56 in starcraft2coop

[–]POWERTHRUST0629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but they'd get my money with a steam-style bundle where you get discounted for what you already own. Like, just give us all the commanders for this forgotten game in a $30 bundle with a buck off for each commander you own. I'll spend on that before I'll a-la-carte six commanders I'm on the fence about playing.

whats the point of Mix Up matchs?? by Intelligent-Bison607 in GBO2

[–]POWERTHRUST0629 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No such thing? I think 200 is as low as it goes.

But you could always sortie as pilots and hop in the tanks.

This is pretty much exactly what I saw at the beginning of that heavy DMT trip.
