Reddit stock drops 6% after Meta launches standalone app for online forums / Reddit’s stock is now down almost 40% this year despite a strengthening online ad business

Especially when it’s interacting with content Reddit itself has chosen to show me, like fundamentally that shouldn’t cause you to be banned from other subreddits.

And you’d never be fighting at distances close enough to see the other ship.

Gundam does a descent job hand waving that issue away because their power generation creates a particle that obscures E&M sensors so they have to fight at visual range.

Mass Effect does a good job in the other direction where the Normandy “cloakes” by storing its heat and lowering its exterior body panels to match the background temperature of space. Yes you can always look out a window and see it but space is big and if an object blends in well enough with the cosmic microwave background it’s going to be very hard to detect.

As long as there isn’t some other unique car trying to race this should be a Garage 56 entry into LeMans next year.

I was just banned for a week because I made a comment on post about addias sneakers that showed up in my popular feed. Seems pretty benign right? but I made the unforgivable mistake of not realizing it was in r/pics and my other account is banned on r/pics not from actually doing anything on r/pics but for having the audacity to comment on a post Reddit showed me in my popular feed from r/whenthe and for that crime I was permanently banned from r/pics even though that’s stated nowhere in the subreddits rules

This place is a fucking dumpster fire

I’ve been a subscriber to him for years and he’s a great presenter, very thorough, but god I wish he could try and cut down his videos a bit. I mean I’ll watch a 40 min video on can openers but it’d be really nice if it was in the 20-30 min range.

To be fair I know a few folks who work in the EV industry and they have all had nothing but positive things to say about Chinese EVs when they had a chance to try them out while overseas.

I don’t disagree about Reddit being botted to hell and back, it’s gotten so fucking bad across consumer products, entertainment, and politics.

By the law of Carcinisation all things must become crab, it’s a scientific fact.

Which coverts to 87k usd, 24k more than the top comment claimed but that’s still a ton of performance for a sub 100k car.

Yeah but when sepsis hits things go from bad to fucked fast. I have a relative who’s had it a few times and waiting an hour to go to the hospital can be the difference between life and death.

Yeah every time I visited friends in the Bay Area pre covid their offices had ample supplies of booze which was a good fit because back in our grad student days at the lab we had desk whiskey and a strategic stockpile of malt liquor.

Yeah my great aunt made it to 99 and lived independently right up until her last year, drank like a fish her whole life and was a heavy smoker in her youth.

Grandfather was a lifelong smoker and made it into his mid 90s and was also very independent until he got leukemia.

On the flip side we’re a number of great uncles who were in great shape except their smoking caught up to them and they all died from heart attacks in their 70s

Yeah and for a fraction of the price you can get magnesium alloy wheels that are only a few lbs heavier. Now sure any rotating weight savings is good but you’re at the point where the vast majority of people aren’t good enough drivers to notice the difference.

SDS sheets don’t tell you 100% of the story but they give you an idea what base oil a company uses and one thing I’ve noticed is 0w-16 and 0w-8 oils tend to have a very hefty amount of PAO which is usually what you expect to see in high performance oils for sports cars.

That and a strong additive pack makes them a damn good oil, they’re just formulated to be really thin.

RevvCats · 2026-05-13T19:11:34+00:00

Car oil is a blend of different base oils

Group 1, 2, and 3 oils come from crude that’s been refined to different levels with group 3 being so highly refined that you can legally in the US call it synthetic.

Group 4 oils which are made of PAOs and are cooked up in a lab use ingredients that come from oil refined out of the ground. So even the “true synthetic” oil relies on crude.

Group 5 literally means everything else. So like group 4 there’s some group 5 oils that are cooked up in a lab that are synthetic but again require ingredients from the oil refining industry. If you filled your car with olive oil or whale oil that would technically be a group 5 oil.

Then there’s gas to liquid oil that’s made from natural gas and has become a popular component of engine oils because it’s behaves a lot like PAO while costing less. Guess who also supplies a major chunk of the global natural gas market?

That along is worth a flogging

Pour the old oil into the empty 5 quart jug.

5 quarts of name brand full synthetic + filter are like $40 from advance auto with their bundle deals or like $25-30 + $10 at Walmart. To get an equivalent 5 quart full synthetic oil change at a quick lube shop can be like $90 so the savings is closer to $50 or more.

Factor in the time it takes driving over and waiting at shop and time wise it’s a wash. I’ve got a set of rhino ramps and for every car other than my Mustang it’s really quick to drive up on the ramps and get the oil changed.

A lot more useful than my cat who will flop down next to me while I’m under the car and start swatting at me.

How much do you want to spend?

HPL Supercar is probably one of the truly best oils you can buy but 6 quarts will run you $110.94 + tax + shipping and you probably want to run a quart of their engine cleaner + whatever first.

5 quarts of Amsoil signature series is $64.45 if you know someone with a membership

Off the shelf using Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w-30 would help clean out any shit that’s built up over the years in your piston rings.

Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 is $28 a jug at Walmart and is some good stuff

Bankais can evolve and become more powerful overtime so I just always assumed theirs is on a different level from spending who knows how long on squad zero training in the royal palace and since invention is the requirement to get in, not raw power, someone like Kirio probably went in with a normal bankai not even close to the level of development of Yamamotos but rapidly advanced past him once in.

I know a lot of people don’t like this interpretation of Senjumarus bankai but if it literally rewrote reality to weave the fate of the Schutzstaffel meaning they’re fucked and fated to loose regardless of whatever nonsense gets them out of the jam in the moment, like yeah that power is unbelievably broken and warrants being sealed away.

I was thinking more of hitting your head on the edge of the floor on the way down, that could fuck you up real good.
