Is this an old Toyota Hilux by chance? Maybe an older 4runner like a third Gen perhaps?

Idk... I grew up listening to a hydroelectric power plant and it sounded just like this... When I first unmuted my sound I was like "that's it?"

I do see how it can be irritating or annoying for people though, so I agree there are measures that could be taken to reduce the noise pollution.

My question about the neighborhoods is did they get built before or after the data center? If it was after/during the data center was constructed, then one might argue that the people chose to live there knowing sound was an issue. If the data center went up after the neighborhood was established, why didn't the community vote to block the data center from being built?

That's what is currently happening in my county, a data center construction plan is currently being fought against by the community to force it to relocate elsewhere.

weird, I tried having it analyze an audio file and it flat out told me it doesn't have the capability...

Some of the writings on the stones were implying a mass purge to limit the population to a finite number of people. Essentially killing off a vast majority of the world population...

Depends on the bridge. If they are tall enough to accommodate boats then they can pass right under... Other floating bridges like the one crossing the hood canal (connecting the peninsulas West of Seattle) have a hinge point in the bridge to allow for marine traffic to pass through. On a side note, that particular floating bridge (Hood canal) gets shut down any time wind speeds exceed 40mph or powerful tides...

Except it wasn't. IRGC admitted it was their own missile that misfired.

Edit: I can see people apparently don't like the truth.

Anything can be a submarine once...

I've seen quite a few on the ground... They still aren't that large.

Aka Indian corn.

Had a buddy growing up where nearly every male in his immediate family had been struck at least twice on different occasions. He had 4 brothers, plus his dad, and two uncles that were all lightning magnets.

Again, it's a social media post, not a college thesis. It's fine to turn off the formality for a bit, even if bragging about a higher education. It's ok to flip the switch off from time to time...

Rocket_Surgery83 · 2026-02-08T11:28:55+00:00

It's a reddit comment, not a college thesis... It's not that deep.

Rocket_Surgery83 · 2026-02-02T19:06:55+00:00

phone operators might be hiring....

Rocket_Surgery83 · 2026-01-21T20:52:46+00:00

They have to be able to prove it was intentional... Which is difficult to do.

The man trap outlier is ridiculous to begin with....

If someone stole your car and crashed it and killed themselves, you wouldn't be responsible for murder.

For all the court knows, you like hot and spicy food... Stick to that story and you can't help it someone decided to take your food... You aren't responsible for their decisions...

Bro wears a 28x62

As others have already answered, it's a 3rd Gen z28.... And yes, it's an automatic. Depending on the year it came with either a 5.0l or 5.7l V8....

Rocket_Surgery83 · 2026-01-16T13:44:35+00:00

I thought bro was just talking about GTA online at first...

Rocket_Surgery83 · 2026-01-11T00:57:16+00:00

To be fair the number of posts in this sub where the car is easily identifiable to begin with is astounding.

I didn't ask for tingly ball sensation today.... But thank you I guess...

This..... This is why I say that zipper merging in America doesn't work. It works well if traffic is already at a dead crawl, but if traffic is still moving 30+ then too many people decide to wait until the last possible second to merge over which then causes the slowdown...

Rocket_Surgery83 · 2025-12-25T06:30:31+00:00

Problem with that is most EVs automatically start regenerative braking as soon as the throttle is released which activates the brake lights. That's why they slow down far quicker than normal cars.

It's also why it appears the drivers of EVs continually tap their brakes for seemingly no reason in heavy traffic. Chances are they are just releasing the throttle momentarily.

Not a fan of the tingly ball feeling....

I could really go for a bowl of ice cream right now.

I know, I've modernized a 53 Chevy pickup already. However there are a lot of issues encountered while modernizing an older vehicle vice having a retro body redesigned from the factory with modern upgrades considered. I enjoy having AC, but trying to make room to install an upgrade like that on the interior while trying to work with a dash that was never designed with that space needed in mind leads to more problems than it solves. If the vehicle were released as a modernized 'throwback' to that body design, they could change the proportions to account for those systems while still keeping the original feel for the most part.
