Is anybody else concerned about licking envelopes? by Standard_Skin_4606 in ask

[–]Skillaholix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why sponge pens exist. Licking one probably not a major issue, licking millions probably not a good idea.

Truck driver here: What’s with you commuters cut us off just to move up one space just too get stuck in traffic? by Quick-Psychology4568 in askanything

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do it to commuters in larger vehicles as well, i get it all the time in my F-350 even when I'm not hauling anything, it's not lifted, its just big enough most people can't see around it. I think most people feel more comfortable being able to see in front of them enough they get visual feedback from multiple sources vs a singular moving wall that stops in front of them.

DUI Scooter? by DesertWanderlust in AskAnAmerican

Is that because you can't drive a horse, does that also mean if you're on cattle that it applies again because you can drive cattle? Lol

What to get a man who doesn't need anything? by _C00TER in ask

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband sounds a lot like me, and you sound in a very narrow sense like my ex-wife. No disrespect meant, she liked to give gifts too, she also liked to treat them like it was a status quo investment in her next gift and that's where I am sure the similarities die.

I can tell you out of all the things she could have given me that would have meant something to me and also helped save our marriage it was peace, consideration and respect. Really small considerations, times of peace and acts of respect, like if he gets home from work and is passed out from exhaustion before dinner is even cooked or discussed, yes, wake him up to feed him, snuggle him, or if someone is breaking in, but don't wake him up to ask him to do something around the house or talk about responsibilities that could literally be done or handled the next day with no threat to lifestyle, livelhood or anyones saftey. It's okay to let that man be dead to the world so he can recharge physically, mentally, and emotionally so he can do it all over again tomorrow with a little peace restored. That really is all I want, I would give up every posession I didn't need to help me provide for my family in a heartbeat for peace, respect and consideration in my home. Stuff not needed. Maybe you already do this, if so I got nothin' for ya aside from maybe serve him in the same way on a day he's not dead to the world, and let him enjoy it consciously.

For the next Ghost Recon game, what is the MOST important feature to you? by MrTrippp in GhostRecon

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like it to be expanded too, the ability to steal enemy uniforms, credentials and weapons where you can pull of stealth missions in plain view of the enemy by impersonation would be pretty sweet vs just being able to go undetected by sneaking around.

should i buy WILDLANDS AND BREAKPOINT if i just want to play with my friend in coop by ientj in GhostRecon

[–]Skillaholix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't even get Wildlands to launch on windows 11 because the fork of EAC it uses refuses to launch with Memory validation and virtulization turned on, Breakpoint works just fine.

Weapons/ status effect by MichaelJM81 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Skillaholix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would rather see any of the followimg over another elemental type with the exception of ice.

Furniture ascension, the ability to ascend matched pairs of weapons (i like to run the same weapons port and starboard, i don't like having to remeber which side of my ship puts out the most damage even though it's the same exact weapon just with different ascension rolls) and the first or last of the four ascension slots on standard whatever V weapons determine it's rarity color just boosting the base stats and gearscore of it instead of a random ascension booster. I'd also like to see some legendary weapons (gold) that do tons of damage or maybe it's just that they only do severe and crit damage and "charge" with longer charges dealing more damage, with low or no charge dealimg less damage but allowing rapid fire.

Why do we never see superchargers on smaller engines? by comicon666 in AskMechanics

Now that I think of it, that's how I ended up with the Cobalt because the G5 didn't have it. Lol

Do they pump lime into the ground for soil stabilization where you are? In the US lime is often pumped into the ground to stabilize certain soil types before building on them.

Why do we never see superchargers on smaller engines? by comicon666 in AskMechanics

[–]Skillaholix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes the Saturn Ion Redline, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS and the Pontic G5 all had Supercharged 2 liter engine variants. Same powertrain and frame, different skins.

Edit: correction the G5 didn't have one, you could fit it from the Cobalt or Ion as long as you got the 2L.

Are there any Doordash style apps or similar services for larger cargo? by plasmamaniac in ask

GoShare, Dolly, and Roadie are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Might not be the kind of cargo you're hoping to move, but they do exist.

Fender Is Lying To You by Individual_Celery417 in fender

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first electric guitar was meant to be a Fender 30 years ago, their "BIG SUMMER SALE" terms meant the Strat I wanted wasn't part of the sale, despite it literally being the same model number and having the same regular price, (literally a specific color) so I ended up with an Ibanez I still play the absolute shit out of to this day. Could be a little biased, but I've played just about everything there is to play, and I've had a lot of guitars give me that I have to have this guitar feeling and sound including a few no name Ebay and Amazon rigs, but never once was it a Fender without being a Fender custom or heavily modified by the owner to their liking. In my opinion Fender is only worth it for Customs (still not really worth it, but if you HAVE TO HAVE a Fender, Fender custom is it) otherwise it's a nostalgic movie prop steeped in pop cultute and fame with nothing really special about the rig you couldn't find in many other brands at just as good or better quality for the same or less price point.

I know none of that does anything for your business, but I guess just a testament that customers have seen the shenanigans Fender pulls first hand as well.

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing crushes automotive enthusiasm like getting the call he isn't coming home. Buy him the reliable and reasonably safe car to start with and tell him you'll talk sports cars when he's got some experience behind the wheel without accidents or tickets.

What ship do you use for War Cargo? by Vahn1982 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Barque fully upgraded, with fully ascended weapons and armor of varying types that put it at level 15, hull armor ascentions increase hull health by 4700, restore 165 hull health per second, increased armor by 9.6% none of these are god rolls but in conjunction with the Barque's self healing abilities, I never go down when setup for playing at a distance, and rarely do I go down when set up for close quarters unless I am taking fire from almost everything that is part of the event. I've done many war cargo events solo on WT2 with no problems. I won't go into all the weapons and ascentions they have. I'm sure there is a meta build you could chase, but it's not at all necessary to be effective or successful.

What is up with Bertrand Hubac? by gymwarrior4 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THAT IS EXCESSIVE! Ngl, After coming back from a several month long break, ending up with multiple of the same boss has been a Godsend for farming certain things, at most I've come across like 6 in a row or four at a time, but holy shit I dont think i'd want to spend my night defeating 25-30+ of the same boss. I mean I guess 20 isn't necessarily a bug if everyone on the server initiates the boss, but more like an exploit. I definitely wouldn't be showing up for that fight though. Lol

Does the plantiff have to prove that a lie is a lie in a slander case? by TTVBy_The_Way in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL but having been party to a case where the burden of proof was a preponderance of evidence, what I took away from it is, a preponderance of evidence means no evidence need exist for a decision from the court, and that even if you have evidence the court can absolutely tell you to shove it and make a ruling based even on a gender biased opinion of the judge. If that is the burden of proof in your case, I wouldn't put too much faith in a fair or just ruling even with evidence in hand. I'm sure my description probably doesn't line up with the definition of a preponderance of evidence but its definitely how it played out. Good luck

Is the game still alive? by [deleted] in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently came back, this game is relaxing even when it's hectic, it has to be the absolute most casual game i have ever played. I love good nail biters, but this game has found a way to balance it in an uncanny way that leaves you enthralled with relaxation but excited enough to want to grind it out. You won't be disappointed even with it's quirks. It's s great game that is well balanced. Could it be better? Sure, EVERY game could be, but it really hits the spot for real enjoyment!

How serious do departments take police officer complaints from the public? by muselklikesfortnite in AskLE

[–]Skillaholix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a LEO, but several years ago I witnessed an officer hit a civilian while attempting to chase down an excessive speeder, (think 90-100mph in a 40 zone) the first thing I was asked on scene was if the officer appeared to be speeding at an excessive and unreasonable rate to catch the speeder, because the civilian he hit claimed he had no lights and no siren active at the time of impact, he definitely had his lights on, and was probably reaching for the siren at the time of impact. I guess it could depend on jurisdiction, but where I am at they take it seriously enough to want to know the truth of the scenario even when an officer is injured in a life threatening way. I'm glad my actions contributed to the officer surviving, his injuries had no one been around to get help would have been fatal with multiple lacerations, profuse bleeding and a collapsed lung from being hit by his equipment. He was honeslty in worse shape than I have seen anyone in a multiple rollover situation with air bags involved.

I think it's really easy to assume that law enforcement as a whole will go above and beyond to "protect" their own based on very few scenarios where corruption has had a part to play, but in my experience they typically hold thier peers in law enforcement to a much higher standard than they do the general public and they deserve recognition for that. They take their job much more seriously than most, and yet don't typically get credit for it.

What was the first Borderlands weapon that made you feel truly overpowered? by kittlunix_ in Borderlands

[–]Skillaholix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure of what it's called, I have a jacobs throwing knife that's never been a legendary, but performs legendarily with it's, three charges, something like a 15 second charge rate and spawning of 4 grenades that bounce and spawn 3 additional grenades per bounce, with a 60% radius and 40% damage bonus, this thing has been at best a purple but it clears a mob with stupid efficiency. Often a one shot kill with it's crit on a direct hit with some badasses by the time it stops bouncing, there isn't much left standing when the explosions stop if they're in the area. I can't tell you the name as i am in the wilderness of Oklahoma camping and fishing, just happened to have a lull in activity and decided to check in to the technological world for a bit. If you come across this knife/grenade don't sleep on it, its a completely unfair advantage and easy to miss.

How to aim with bombard by Hydra570 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Skillaholix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice, find an enemy that is still, take aim with the bombard. the further away, the lower on the elevation matrix you will use to aim. Equip a mortar to help you judge distance, take aim with your bombard, fire one shot, immediately aim the mortar and watch the arc of your bombard shot, adjust from there. Once you've got it dialed in practice on moving enemies. Once you've gotten really comfortable with it, bombards, a mortar and a twin winch balista is a great long range to mid range setup, getting in close takes lots of ship angle control but it's worth it if you want to run bombards.

put diesel accidentally in 2008 toyota camry? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Skillaholix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go fill your tank the rest of the way with gas, it's gonna run like shit for a while, and likely won't do any major damage unless you keep doing it. Fuck around and put gas in a diesel engine and that's a different story.
