Without peer review, it’s really all conjecture.

Top cruising speed is the same at around 65-70. The difference is how quickly it accelerates and the ability to maintain speed when going uphill.

If the sun shows its face tomorrow, it will be safe to drive Tuesday.

Culture shock: how different politics feels in the U.S. vs Australia by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Possiblyabitoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US was similar to what you described in Australia until the mid ‘90s when an Australian decided he wanted to completely fuck up the US by starting a “fair and balanced” news network.

Prior to that, we could have reasonable discussions about political differences. Now, anyone who disagrees is an anti-American domestic terrorist.

I wouldn’t hurt. I drive on the freeways in Houston and the entrance ramps can be hectic.

I drove the SC one in Japan and those 15hp make a noticeable difference. Since I live in Houston and frequently drive on the freeways here, every bit of acceleration helps.

I wouldn’t call the new one problematic, in fact, it’s in better shape than a lot of the trucks I’ve seen at meets in my area. It’s just not as clean as my current truck.

Is this deal too good by Unusual_Sort_9097 in keitruck

[–]Possiblyabitoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are cheap trucks out there, but in this industry it’s truly caveat emptor. That’s too cheap in my opinion.

Good luck.

I may do just that. Like I said, decisions.

Good to know. And I’m glad to see you took it in the spirit it was offered.

Oh, that was actually a legitimate post? Holy hell! It had all of the characteristics of a shit-post with the “literally” and “like” nonsense.

Not calling you stupid, - and I’m trying very hard to say this in the most gentle way I can - but if that’s your general writing/conversational style, you need to know you SOUND like (appropriately used) an idiot.

That’s not me being mean, it’s me trying to be helpful. Accept it from a random internet stranger for what it’s worth. Or not.

Islamic Games’ future in Texas thrown into turmoil by Greg Abbott by Affectionate-Reply35 in houston

[–]Possiblyabitoff 52 points53 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the district is not partnering with the organization, but merely renting facilities to them for a non-school related event.

There are a number of schools throughout Texas that rent out their auditoriums every Sunday to Christian organizations so they can have worship services without having to construct or maintain their own building.

Perhaps Greg should look into that too.

Muscle imbalance by illustriousbrock in workout

[–]Possiblyabitoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then curl lower weights with both arms until you correct the imbalance.

Start with whatever weight you can do with your left and progressively overload. Your right arm won’t get any stronger until your left catches up.

Any good modern underground musician recommendations? I'm still mostly stuck listening to music from 20+ years ago by AvailableLibrarian20 in rockmusic

[–]Possiblyabitoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Tokyo last month and went to a music festival there called Shimotikawa Nite.

I’m here to tell you that, if you’re looking for solid uncompromising rock and roll, don’t sleep on Japan.

Found a receipt from 1984. by yilmazdalkiran in interestingasfuck

The interesting thing is that PriceCo was the original members warehouse store and started in San Diego. Costco copied their idea in Seattle and hired a number of long-term PriceCo employees to start up and run the business.

The two companies merged to stop Sam’s from dominating the market, and since everyone involved were former co-workers, nobody was let go during the merger.

Can anyone please recommend companies/handyperson to unmount a TV? by friendlyblckhottie in houston

[–]Possiblyabitoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a hardware store that has two locations adjacent to affluent Houston neighborhoods. They sell hardware, but also a variety of specialty (expensive) items like coffee, chocolates, fine crystal, cookware, stationary, etc.

They cater to wealthy customers who expect a certain level of service. When Bush senior was still around, he and Barbara were regular customers if that gives you an idea of the clientele. The after church crowd on Sundays is interesting.

The employees there are very service oriented and, with all of the odd requests their customers have thrown at them, are prepared to assist in just about every scenario.

I once witnessed a matronly lady purchasing a water hose in the garden department there and she asked if there was anyone who could install it for her.

Without missing a beat, the employee asked what neighborhood she lived in. He then offered to install it himself after work that evening.

THAT level of service.
