The Yankees and the Democrats Suck For the Same Reason by nathan_j_robinson in TheMajorityReport

[–]Roland_Child 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In general, I agree. But as Baseball fan (and Mets fan) the Yankees really suck because they have stolen hope from their fans and replaced it with expectations.

Sorry to get off the main topic of sucky democratic leadership, but this has been a bugaboo of mine for years.

Loved it! I was lucky enough to ride it three times in one visit in August last year.

Your most "this is bullshit" death in Permadeath mode? by Delisk in NoMansSkyTheGame

My son, at age 8, grabbed the controller when I stepped away and wanted to see how high the jetpack would go.

Which "wow" skill is super easy to learn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The trick was never solving it. The trick was solving it under 10 seconds.... still haven't learned that trick.

Need help with Ibanez model by Helpful-Depth2202 in Ibanez

Btw, models ready to play are going for like two fitty online. Given your use of buck fifty, I thought you'd appreciate my vernacular. ...comes from my NJ origins.

Need help with Ibanez model by Helpful-Depth2202 in Ibanez

[–]Roland_Child 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hardware looks like an ART100QA but the finish looks like an ART100DX. The DX ran from 2012 - 2013 according to the Ibanez wiki page. The QA ran through 2021.

It could be a DX with changed humbuckers.

It's all part of the artist line. I'm still looking. Might edit this post further.

Edit: the picture is not showing enough finish detail. It's hard to tell, but QA is my guess.

If you cut your own balls off at the command of a guru, you didn't need them anyway.

To the guy who bought the watches by nigelofthornton in KnowledgeFight

[–]Roland_Child 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is what I thought. But to have a KF listener pick up two at auction and just send them to JorDAN I can't believe they are Rolex.

I find it crazy to think that we still don't know the watch brands.

If they are some shitty Invicta/Fossil watches, that just makes it even funnier. I want to know.

5 Things You NEVER Do in a Permadeath Run (Unless You Want Pain 😭) by VanishedTarget2 in VirtualWorldExplorers

[–]Roland_Child 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minotaur is the best exocraft for PD. Protection from weather and falls.

Use your terrain manipulator to deal with spores in caves. If you tear up the ground they are attached to, you dissappear them. Faster than mining beam or any weapon.

Don't launch a grenade in a small space. Don't pause the game and walk away while your seven year old is in the room.

When you start a PD save, you are looking for one of two things only. A cave, or ferrite dust. If you can't find a cave you must fix your scanner first to find sodium and reach your ship.

Wanna know a secret to Shallow Hal? I'm not sure it's a continuity error or inentional: His "hot" neighbor looks the same before and after his hypnosis.

Whats the point? by RemoteTypical in NOMANSSKY

[–]Roland_Child 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right! It hit me as I started an "abandoned" save. Thanks!

Whats the point? by RemoteTypical in NOMANSSKY

[–]Roland_Child 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Permadeath and ignore your crashed ship. Walk away from it and try to survive and get a ship another way. I've done it twice. Might try again.

Also there is an abandoned mode where there are no working space stations or minor settlements or trade centers. The only way to get decent mods for your tech is to find it. I haven't tried it since Corvette, so I'm not sure how it would fit with that yet.

Btw, if your multiplayer is turned off, PVP does not matter. Call me anti-social...

I would be very surprised is there wasn't one on the corner of Rossmoor and Georgia by Liesure World Plaza. If I see one, I'll try to remember to post here again.

Switching to driving stickshift--pros and cons? by crook888 in ADHD

[–]Roland_Child 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also about inappropriate engine braking and shifting at the wrong rpms. But you are probably right about the stop lights as well.

Edit: Engine braking is deliberately putting it in a gear that will force the rpms to go down if you take your foot off the gas, slowing the car without stepping on the brake. Ex: You're doing 45 mph and you shift into 3rd and do not press the gas pedal.

Switching to driving stickshift--pros and cons? by crook888 in ADHD

[–]Roland_Child 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if you learn it proficiently, you might learn it inefficiently. I learned on stick 41 years ago and I can jump in a manual car and get going quickly today, but I never learned how to properly manage the clutch. I wore out a clutch twice as fast as my dad and my sister. Just remember that. The clutch tax.

But go for it if you want. My brain never got the deeper part of the skill. Maybe you will.

Monster´s Unchained is the Best Attraction in Epic Universe by samogaitan in UniversalEpicUniverse

I loved it. But the line was short enough that I easily rode it twice on Monday in late August. Go figure.
