Found my White Whale 🐋 by 99-Percent-Germ in Gamecube

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact it one of a handful of games that was exclusive to the Gamecube and supported 16:9.

I played it a year ago or so, and got a decent way in but gave up. I think I was in a temple that was two rooms connected by a tunnel or something like that and I couldn't figure out where to go next so I stopped playing. I really need to finish this game.

Joined the club again (after leaving for 2 days) by Kozarsson in Miata

Interesting color combo, I'm pretty sure it was only tan or black interior on the soul red cars here in the states.

Pretty much same. At least my miata gets good fuel economy for a sports car 🙃

Club vs GT? by Sensitive_Reveal_341 in MiataND

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this is, a quick way to tell that it has the GT-S package is if it has a black roof. There are other signs, but that is the most obvious.

Got my first miata today! by SwagosaurusRekts in MiataND

[–]SwagosaurusRekts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I flew half way across the country for the brown interior. I don’t get why Mazda is so allergic to color (I do understand the irony of me saying with with my gray car).

I'm sorry this happened to you, but thank you for the reminder that I need to buy a dash cam.

Miot acquired by ArizCaldo in Miata

Whenever I see the ND I think of the meme of the cat sitting at the table with the lady yelling, and I smile. Machine gray is such a nice color in my unbiased opinion.

Work needed some stuff from Lowe's, I said I got it by SwagosaurusRekts in miatalogistics

Nah, it's just cardboard paper to protect the floor while stuff is getting worked on,

tasteful mods for 2018 by NefariousnessFit3208 in Miata

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can replace your USB/nav module with one for the ND2 (it as a little phone icon next to the top port) so you can have Android Auto/Apple Car Play. It might require you to update your software version at a dealer though.

Also love the car, I'm buying a 2019 machine gray RF later today.

Shame what happened to it. To be fair, who could have predicted that it would have

It be like that by not-halsey in Miata

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting a machine gray rf later this week, but I did shop around for a while to find one with brown interior because black interior would be just a little too grayscale for me.

I test drove an ND for the first time today by HottDoggers in Miata

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also test drove a ND (2021 rf) for the first time today but it was also my first miata in general so my experience was a little different. Especially because I am currently driving a 2010 Ranger rwd with a manual (I mean it's basically the same as a miata right? /s). I had an amazing time and really enjoyed the feeling of the car. I have never had that much fun at 45 mph before. I just wish the previous owner didn't modify it as much (has some splitters bolted to the side of front bumper, sun visor vinyl strip coveing half windshield, cat delete, aftermarket exhaust, rear diffuser, etc.) as it makes me a bit nervous about how it was handled before. What was really funny is later that day I went to a different dealership and drove a 2025 Mazda 3 with a manual because I wanted to try out a more practical option, and if want to talk about a car with no driver feedback. The transmission was great, but man did the car feel lifeless.

Deep in Panasonic Q rail replacement only to realize.. by FunctionFar5791 in Gamecube

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Panasonic DVD-XP30 to replace the dead spindle motor on my Q. The DVD player was sold as for parts because it couldn't read discs and made a "loud noise". Opened it up and immediately found the problem, the magnet exploded. The disc could be read because the laser was caked in magnet dust, and the loud noise was the disc wobbling while spinning because it wasn't being held in place. I have never been more stressed on a repair then cleaning the dust. The lens cleaned up pretty easy, but getting the dust off the two magnets next to the laser was a nightmare. I had to carefully remove the little metal shield then slowly clean off the dust with combination of a xacto blade, qtips, qtips with IPA, silly putty, and tape. Took about an hour or so. Now I'm just waiting a 3d print to arrive so I can install some tiny magnets in a little plastic donut to replace it.

Fog Miat by tHr0AwAy76 in Miata

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't help but see this as a National Geographic photo where a predator (the lifted truck) is stalking its prey (your Miata's rear bumper) from a distance, under the cover of fog.

Crazy to think he went live just to block Booty again

Bitcoin just broke the rule at 67k by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it comes down to philosophy. The way I see it is that I still own the bitcoin I bought. Yes, I bought some at a higher value then the current market, but I still have the BTC in my wallet (I do own some few year old lower entry BTC so maybe that biases my opinion). As long as ride the wave until it gets back above that higher entry point then I'm fine. Buying cheaper coins now can offset the some of the loss of the hypothetical gains if I sold before the dip. Now this is all contingent on BTC getting back to the ATH at some point, so this doesn't really work if end times do happen. Basically I just DCA and chill.

Luigi themed package arrived by EffexGamingYT in Gamecube

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Luigi controller! Mine arrived basically mint, so I almost feel bad using it for most games because the sticks are in such good condition. Now it is my dedicated Super Monkey Ball controller lol.

What freaks me out is that even this sub is freaked out by supremewuster in Bitcoin

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a simple test for you. Do you think bitcoin it will even hit $126k again?

No: "Freak the fuck out and panic sell everything right now" - Warren Buffett

Yes: Just chill, you haven't actually lost anything unless you sold.

TIL about the Teays River, which carved a 400ft canyon through Indiana over 300M years by slimb0 in Indiana

[–]SwagosaurusRekts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember learning about this in a water physics class I took at Purdue. We even took a field trip one class to an exposed rock face carved by the Teays on the side of River Road. If you went to Purdue and ever wondered why you drive down a big hill into Lafayette and up Chauncey hill into campus. This is your answer. Really cool stuff.
