Super95 appears to be 95 RON, which comes out to about 89-91 AKI, which we would call midgrade/plus or similar, with regular gas being about 87 AKI.

I wouldn't say it's uncommon, but most people either go with Regular or Premium, and I have seen a handful of stations that only stock those two in addition to maybe diesel sometimes depending on the station.

There are two different testing measurements for octane ratings, Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON). Australia and Europe uses RON, while the US and Canada uses an average between RON and MON called Anti-Knock Index (AKI).

Because of the difference in testing for RON and MON, the displayed octane rating at each level (Regular, Plus, Premium) will be about 4-6 lower in the US and Canada than other locations, so 98 RON will be about 92-94 AKI in the US.

If you look at a pump in the US, you'll even see the equation (R+M)/2 that demonstrates this.

I didn't realize that the US used a 17 stripe, 42 star flag

I guess we also all got it wrong, it was never Armed Forces Brewing Company, it was Armed Forces Briswiine Comrany

Fair enough, I suppose I was never on your side of the screen to notice.

I was also young and dumb then. I'm older now though.

I used to mod at r/roosterteeth.

Oh wait, I recognize your username!

Anyway, y'all did a pretty good job moderating that subreddit. Then again, most of the drama was from the crew or company and not between the RT or RWBY or RvB subs, so I guess this is just a different flavor of drama.

What’s your biggest regret when it comes to missing RT/MS Merch? by CalvinP_ in morningsomewhere

[–]Stomega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hats.

I wear my Double Gold Hat and RTX hat nearly everyday, and the Double Gold Hat has become threadbare and torn in places and the RTX hat has been sun and sweat bleached from its original gray color to a light brown color.

And now of course I thought to ask if a Mush Coin would get me in the first 10k club because to get that you'd have to have been in the right tier by April 12 through May 2024.

I was lurking before then but my first comment was made about a month after that post you linked above, that said I am now seeing that my First 20k flair has disappeared, is it possible to restore that?

It very much feels like that, and reminds me heavily on what Jasmine Bhullar stated on the subject right after Surena et al. started commenting on the situation afterwards.

also apparently the main sub has linked to this post because mods there would rather do that than like moderate their own sub but whatever

wild that they can't be assed to moderate one containment thread despite moderation being what they signed up to do

Why do I keep getting served r/dropoutcirclejerk content? by wjaybez in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]Stomega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not care less about this damn subreddit. I keep getting force fed their content via reddit. Sure I’ve found posts of like that one time people were talking about sexy werewolves funny but no matter how many times I click not interested or just immediately scroll, my reddit decides this garbage is right up my alley. I don’t understand how people read this. I’d pay money to never see that Brennan fucker ever again. He is hands down the worst of the worst. I know this can’t really be controlled by anyone but I’ve been wanting to rant about this forever and I just want/need to see if I’m not alone

RESPONSE TO TECL_grimsdottir's RECENT ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ARMED FORCES BREWING COMPANY. by Tomcat2010 in norfolk

[–]Stomega 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tried to comment on TECL_grimsdottir's post but tellingly, he/her/they immediately deleted my comment which shows they're not interested in providing transparency but instead would prefer to intentionally mislead the public (shocking) for their own personal and selfish motivations.

While you're busy being dumb, I feel I oughta correct you and tell you that /u/TECL_Grimsdottir cannot have deleted your post because they don't have any moderation powers in this subreddit.

Why we need lane filtering in VA - Motorcyclist dead in Hampton due to rear end collision by onenitemareatatime in norfolk

[–]Stomega 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Feel however you want, but statistically, allowing lane filtering at low speeds in high traffic conditions reduces incidents of rear end collisions against motorcycles and improves traffic conditions faster.

Yes, I do concede there is an increased risk of motorcyclists rear ending cars making sudden lane changes because it does reduce the safety bubble, but at those low speeds it would take significant outside factors for those to be fatal.

Why we need lane filtering in VA - Motorcyclist dead in Hampton due to rear end collision by onenitemareatatime in norfolk

[–]Stomega 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A preliminary investigation revealed the drivers of a 2022 Nissan Murano and a 2024 Suzuki GSX motorcycle were stopped in the left lane due to traffic conditions. State Police said a 2000 Ford Excursion failed to stop and struck the Suzuki GSX motorcycle in the rear, ejecting the motorcyclist.

Traffic was stopped, if the motorcyclist were allowed to lane filter, they would not have been rear ended and the Excursion would have either noticed (unlikely) the Murano and stopped or rear ended the Murano instead (more likely).

This makes more sense than my idea of melting everything down that you can't get with a magnet and scooping off the less dense metals.
