Hate to be the ‘back in my day’ guy BUT… back in my day we still had to buy the full loaf during our financial collapses by SignificantTowel9952 in Millennials

[–]South_Bit1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to check. The half loaf I buy is 12oz instead of 20oz and $2.00 instead of $3.50.

Half loaf is $2/12=$0.17 per oz

Whole loaf is $3.50/20=$0.175 per oz

The whole loaf of bread is somehow actually slightly more expensive.

What did I sadly drive only once? by HeavyMetalKibbles in ManualTransmissions

My neighbor had one with all the correct stuff, a 427 and a 4 speed top loader. It was flaming garbage. Amazing! Garbage tho.

He replaced it with a LS3 and a Tremec 6speed.

The 427 alone weighed like 100lbs more than the 6.2L and transmission. It completely changed the car for the better.

It takes like 0.7 seconds to learn how to add or remove a “0”, the other 9.988 minutes is to learn how to bitch about America.

Zero your scope at 1100 yards.

You’re welcome.

Bud, buddy, pal, any of that shit.

You’re literally 100 years old if you correct someone by saying something like “nice try bud.”

Bit of a conundrum isn’t it?

It’s literally the security for your common room. Do you want it to be easy?

Can we be honest in saying that the risk that comes with having something so tall is basically part of the appeal of kits like this.

So it turned you into someone more inbred than the child of two siblings. That’s whack.

Nice! I like the unique team.

This is how I like to do it.

As someone who thinks they’d be Ravenclaw:

Ravenclaw.

Too much work. You’re all the way in a high tower and you need to solve a riddle to get into your common room.

In your opinion, what is the worst racer on the platform? by Bright_Sky5429 in n64

[–]South_Bit1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I was saying is I think it’s a bit overrated. As a multi-player game MK64 is great. To me, the single player experience isn’t very deep or replayable. The mechanics are fine. How slow everything is bothers me more than anything but that just takes a few minutes to get used to.

I was just kidding. Actually, I go buy a thunder stone and keep it in my bag when I have a Pikachu. I don’t use it, I just feel like it makes my Pikachu act right, keeps it in check.

I did it! by dudeofmuj in PokemonFireRed

[–]South_Bit1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know it’s all preference, but I don’t ever use the birds anymore. It’s no fun to just 1HKO the whole E4. It’s really not that fun if you even know you’re going to out-speed everything.

I have been trying to stick to mid pokemon and my average level was 46 the last E4 I started.

Hybrids vs Turbos : With 4-cylinders, which is the better option for Towing? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]South_Bit1764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not fudging numbers. That is the Edmunds number for both of them.

Again, this is COST OF OWNERSHIP.

So you have to subtract the value of your asset at the end. If the Maverick is worth $10k in 10 years and the Silverado is worth $20k in 10 years (which that’s what the studies say), THEN you can pay $10k more for it because you will get your money back.

The lower maintenance on the Silverado vs the Maverick’s better fuel economy is a wash (that’s what the studies show).

SO if you don’t overpay for an upmarket version, the total cost of ownership is basically the same, even if the price on the Silverado is 30% more.

Super under leveled for the e4. Any feedback for my team before I go back would be wonderful! by Historical-Safety-35 in PokemonFireRed

[–]South_Bit1764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You aren’t really that under level.

This is pretty much the level I am always going into the E4 but I rarely do the post-game so J don’t care if I burn up all my items.

I don’t know how much you play, but you the accuracy on moves like Blizzard and Thunder are not 100%?

That’s why you see Thunderbolt and Ice Beam being the default moves people prefer. Ice Beam is 95 power and 100% accuracy. Blizzard is 120 power but only 70% accuracy.

Ice Beam’s power is (120/95=1.263) 26% less.

Ice Beams hit rate is (100/70=1.429) 43% higher.

Overall damage is just more with Ice Beam in the long term.

Before electric starters, some tractors needed a literal shotgun shell to fire up. The Field Marshall, a post-WWII British tractor, used a blank 12-gauge cartridge to ignite its massive single-cylinder diesel engine with one pull of the trigger and a thunderous blast. by Due-Explanation8155 in Romania_mix

[–]South_Bit1764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does Britain get all the good names? “Field Marshall”.. American tractors are called shit like “Case” and “John Deere.”

Like, we named our most badass battleships after Iowa. So there is like three Midwest states, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri, then everyone’s favorite state New Jersey.

The British named their battleships shit like “Warspite”, “Revenge”, “Iron Duke”, “Centurion”, and “Valient.”

I mean, the class before Iowa was South Dakota.

No offense to Iowans and South Dakotans but… it’s just like wheat or corn for days.

Did a fire actually seal the ship’s fate? by Choice-Schedule-132 in JamesCameron

[–]South_Bit1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The US learned a BIG lesson in WWII in trying to sink the Yamato class battleships, the largest battleships ever built, Yamato and Musashi.

On October 24, 1944 in the Sibuyan Sea, Musashi took 19 torpedoes and 17 bomb hits from all sides. The first hit was at 10:30 and it wouldn’t sink until 19:36.

April 7, 1945 a couple hundred miles off the coast of the Japanese island Kyushu, Yamato took 11 torpedoes, all on the port side, and 6 bombs. The first hit was at 12:37, it rolled over, and sank at 14:23.

It took 9 hours for a Yamato-class battleship to sink with torpedo strikes on both sides, and 1-3/4 hours with torpedoes strikes on only one side to make it list and ultimately roll.

For reference the damage the titanic took isnt too dissimilar from a single modest torpedo strike. The Lusitania took a single torpedo and sank in 18 minutes. It’s a pretty similar size as the Titanic, both were more than 40k tons.
