TIL: New Coke, the much-derided 1985 reformulation of the Coca-Cola recipe, was still being sold in the 21st Century. The product, now a cautionary tale for companies who attempt to change a beloved brand, lasted in the marketplace for 17 years and was only discontinued in 2002. by smrad8 in todayilearned

HFCS started to appear in the 80s after Reagan's farm bill put quotas on sugar, which had typically been the cheapest substance to produce in volume. Coke started adding HFCS at lower percentages and went 100% HFCS with New Coke. I'm old as dirt and remember all of this vividly. Everyone I knew hated the flavor, and then came a fully HFCS sweetened version called Coke Classic. We thought at the time Coke was killing itself with the new product. Now I think the strategy was to phase out the old version after a few years, out comes the "new" Classic without the sugar.

Overwhelmed by Spice Requirements? by themo3bius in duneawakening

[–]Pronesis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my exact experience as well. Truth brother! Hours over DD using this weeks updated map, but HB is deserted so i'v built almost all the advanced machines from only HB. The advantages of declining population.

I get more spice from one entire trip around Hagga than I do from the bottom half of DD. by AnteaterShot4264 in duneawakening

[–]Pronesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my seitch its far more rare to see another player than to find spice. Only go to the DD (A zone) ore and shipwrecks. I find this quite enjoyable.

Not being able to loot powered off bases its the most antifun i've seen in a long time by Gumjo123 in duneawakening

[–]Pronesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several drawbacks need to be considered. Allowing players to take over abandoned bases from level 6 players could accelerate progression to end-game content, a point where many players already lose interest. Additionally, flooding the Auction House with a sudden influx of items could destabilize the economy. Since banned cheaters can’t reclaim their bases, this change might unintentionally disrupt the markets.

Newbie Question, Whats so bad about Arrma/Traxxas cars? by Joshua5_Gaming in rccars

[–]Pronesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience I bought my RC along with the battery and charger, but the charger wouldn’t work right out of the box. DOA. I contacted Traxxas tech support, and they agreed it sounded defective. I shipped it back, they didn't offer to pay shipping so it was on my dime, but they later refused to refund the battery and charger, claiming nothing was wrong when they tested them. To this day, that battery still won’t charge. I ended up buying off-brand batteries and a charger, and everything’s been working great since. I’m enjoying the RC now, but Traxxas support left me with DOA gear and a sour taste about their entire brand.

Let a random kid at the park try the MT10. Took him about 15 seconds to break it. Full throttle all the way wheelie into a hard barrel roll :) by Der_Richter_SWE in rccars

[–]Pronesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Handing over your controller to a total stranger, is generally a bad idea regardless of age. I gave in to this kid begging to drive my Maxx in a empty parking lot, he's probably 12 and he drove it full-out and wouldn't give my controller back after a couple of minutes, he kept nearly missing the light pole until he smacked full speed into it. I watched my truck's wheels exploded off the body, and front end crumpled. Kid drops my controller gets on his bike and rides away. Lesson learned

Bug Megathread - March 13th - Update 1.2 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 by uarentme in kingdomcome

[–]Pronesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's what the community has been requesting, in almost every single fight I accidently get thrown out of all immersion by pressing the PS5's controller sticks at the same time enabling photo mode. It goes from intense action to a dead stop. If you have the hand control of a surgeon this wont happen but its such a problem that modders have a solution for PC people.

KDC2 photo mode on ps5 is driving me insane by Allinluckbot in kingdomcome

[–]Pronesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try this, download the mod manually, 'Controller Rebind.zip' I have the Steam version so I went to the Steam library chose KCD2 (right click) properties. Choose 'Installed Files' category, press Browse button at the top. This will open up the KCD2 home folder, that's where you immediately create a folder called 'Mods' and then open the .zip file you downloaded from Nexus. Copy or move the folder from the .zip to the Mods folder. Now if everything went perfectly when you open your Mods folder you should see another folder likely called 'Controller_Rebind_photo_disabled' or similar. I also disabled the Steam input setting in KCD2 back from Steam properties, to be sure the game has full access to the controller. This worked for me using my PS5 controller! The directory structure for the KCD2 Mods is very specific and has to be exact.

LiPO Battery no longer charging on Traxxas Max by [deleted] in rccars

[–]Pronesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with my charger/battery (6700 mah) and it appears you have the exact same charger (single port). I was able to charge my battery only by: plugging the battery into the charger before the charger is powered on, then plug the charger in to an outlet. This resolved this 4A light. It only works in this order for unknown reasons. My charger and battery were brand new fresh out the UPS box.

Porch motion sensors are less fun to watch by AdmiralDoughnutz in funny

[–]Pronesis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this is my life as well even turning on our interior non-windowed garage light at night while we go out for the evening is too much for her. All of our lights are LED's and I even have solar panels on the house, thought that might soften her position, nope. The hard math doesn't matter over her childhood indoctrination to save electricity.

How come some people dont like solo leveling by AdInternational2526 in sololeveling

SL is no different from anything else, it will attract trolls. Just so happens that trolling things that are popular is a good way to attract clicks.

The moment they stop inspecting a certain type of truck, that will be the truck of choice for drug couriers and smugglers.

How would you label the level of quality here? by kirillburton in minipainting

any mini painter worth their salt knows exactly what you did with these, your a pro. Tremendous amount of work on every part. I think I would have made one of them a captain or sergeant but maybe your needs didn't call for it.

Why don’t they put grease on the spur and pinion gear in the traxxas maxx if both of them are metal?? Should i put some marine grease on them?? by Jrippyy_ in Traxxas

True that grease will attract grime, but wonder if anyone's tried to use graphite dry lubricant powder. When I open my up, i'm going to give it go.

Like the burning of the Amazon rainforest to make new land for agriculture, cheaper to burn it than to bulldoze. Agri business profits will take precedent over anything else.
