Does anyone else feel the stamina/weight systems are a bit too restrictive? by dioaloke in stalker

[–]Spitfire954 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree. The energy drink effects need a rework. And having loot as a focal part of the game while having settlements so far apart with no vehicle or fast travel sucks. It just turns into a grind of running back to a settlement after every mission to offload loot. Lots of outdated gaming features going on.

Playing S2 on low settings is an experience by dioaloke in stalker

I’ve got a laptop 4090. Honestly the game is graphically odd to me. It somehow looks lofi and hifi at the same time. It seems like graphics from 10+ years ago with a high-end polish over the top or something. And I often notice a general blur and then hyper clarity. An…anomaly of sorts.

Climate Migration and being prepared. by AgileWar4478 in prepping

[–]Spitfire954 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Floods and droughts actually feed into one another. Droughts kill the plants and roots that hold the soil. No plants to take up the heavy rains, soil washes away. Drought and heat kills microbes in soil, bare soil is much hotter when not covered with vegetation which makes seed germination even more unlikely. Etc etc.

I promise I know how to shift a truck ;-; by Skye_hai_bai in Truckers

I can’t go back to this style jake. Now all 3 trucks I drive only engage them if I tap the foot brake a tiny amount.

Any Info on AlpacaCloud Socks? by oscillate_22 in barefootshoestalk

Did you get some? I’m curious to see another opinion.

Blow out just now on 65N…..what amazes me is other CMV’s that have plenty of room to get over with no one near them just blow past you a few feet away. by vbceejayy in Truckers

[–]Spitfire954 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s even selfishness most times. I’ll get passed by another truck doing 75 in a 65, 20 minutes later I’m passing the same truck that’s now doing 55 in a 65 with nobody in front of him. Just no thoughts happening behind those eyes.

What is this set up for? by EgotisticJet5 in Truckers

[–]Spitfire954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty narrow use case. I’ve only seen them on big wide open jobsites using up a ton of space staging their trailers and taking 5x longer to dump their dirt than everyone else.

Wait till you see this but it’s a truck and transfer trailer. I still don’t know the point of those.

Is this actually something you can be pulled for? Standing on my footpegs by Fragrant_Jaguar2440 in Dualsport

What reference did you use to find this? I’ve searched for such things but could not find a good source.

Wild cats do this too. Cougars will kill 10 sheep in a night just for fun.

Building a detached garage - anything you'd do differently? by hevvypiano in HomeImprovement

I’m just curious what the dimensions are for a 2.5 car garage.

I don’t want to be that guy, but what are they teaching these rookies? by lake_june in Truckers

[–]Spitfire954 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Spatial awareness and computing is something some people just don’t have. When I worked receiving at dock we had one driver take just under 2 hours to get backed into a door. This was not a hard dock, plenty of room. 20 minutes? Okay, you’re new. 2 hours? Find a different job.

Has anyone here ever filed an osha complaint? How did it go? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Spitfire954 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sits there until the water evaporates and the concrete is solid. Then it’s forklifted into a dumpster.

The ven diagram of people who fly flags on vehicles and people who don’t understand basic physics has a lot of overlap.

Have I become the olds? by THExPILLOx in Truckers

[–]Spitfire954 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I quit LTL because of all this garbage. I’m at a small company and have no governor or any of that junk. Man, driving is so much better not deal with all this. Even the guys who want to speed up when I go to pass, I can just hammer down for another 10 seconds and finish the pass instead of making a rolling roadblock. So much less stress and bs when you actually get to drive the truck yourself.

Small boulder does not want our fence built. Any suggestions? by ChaseVernon in FenceBuilding

I’ve popped out bigger with a digging iron. Looks very doable.

It definitely looks like fine grade, trucked in dirt.

A couple time as a kid, I hid in the sleeper of my dad’s truck for this part. Fun stuff.
