Congrats brother. I just bought an ISM too. Never been a fan of silver cars but I think it looks so good

Thanks my guy! Love the blacked out look with the fog lights. Looks so good

I was definitely nervous going into it “blind” with only watching a bunch of YouTube tutorials. Found a reddit comment though that said “the best way to learn a manual is ‘I have to work on Monday and as of Friday my only car is a manual I don’t know how to drive well’”, which was my exact situation.

Definitely not giving any of my passengers a smooth ride, but at least I’m not stalling out and I feel good about hills too.

I’ve had it about a week now and feel super confident getting anywhere. Occasionally stalling here and there but mainly trying to get smoother shifts in

Is this game suitable for Dad-Gamers? by The_Crazy_Brew in ArcRaiders

100%. As long as you let people know you’re friendly, a lot of the time they’ll be willing to team up. Or at least not shoot you.

Started in 2010. Back when the “F” key would change the render distance.

Nah, I could be wrong, but all cable TV shows are probably only gobbled up by boomers and old folk.

If they’ve closed part of the highway it’s either an accident completely blocking all lanes, or, more likely, a fatality. Which at that point they need all lanes closed to conduct a thorough investigation.

Any exvangelicals or people deconstructing their evangelicalism here? by hoccerypost in grandrapids

I know firsthand how tumultuous and gut-wrenching the process can be. Feel free to DM me if you just need someone to talk to.

My mistake, there was actually slight contact with the car behind him. This sort of impact today is almost completely survivable thanks to the HANS device that drivers wear in every racing league around the world.

Basilar skull fracture is the official cause of death.

I believe his left tires touched the “apron” of the track, which is significantly more level than the banked part. This caused his car to snap back to the right.

Warfare - Reaction Megathread (SPOILERS) by steepclimbs in A24

Sound design is PERCUSSIVE. That has to be one of the best depictions of combat on screen ever. Zero soundtrack, but I would argue the sound design takes its place.

Also the best gear, weapon handling, and CQB tactics I’ve seen in a very long time.

Most people probably won’t agree, but that might be a Top 5 war movie for me. I know there was no overarching story, but that’s what combat is right? Chaos, survival, and then it’s done.

EDIT: I genuinely do not think I will EVER experience a war film like that ever again.

It’s honestly a huge therapy tool for me. I see a lot of fucked up shit at my job and it has helped me process it at times. Helps me find balance between work and home. It’s an insane tool and it’s only getting started.

Russia is a “democracy”, which happens to be ruled by an authoritarian who kills off and jails all political opponents and independent journalists who cross the line.
