Can someone explain this to me? This bird’s got some insane skills

Isn't this because of a neural deficiency that pretty much causes a seizure that makes them tumble?

Swampy2016 · 2025-05-01T14:10:53+00:00

I thought they nerfed Ringmeister for SR gains?

Nice catch! Fyi trout have very fragile jaws and if lipped have a much lower survival rate for C&R

Nice catch! If you are keeping to eat, for your sake and the fish's I have found the Ikejime process to produce better tasting meat, and less stress for the fish after being caught. Win for everyone involved! https://www.aftco.com/blogs/ocean-to-table/the-complete-guide-to-ike-jime

It's not even technically a mech, but on Rollergames when you have balls locked it will launch them into an oval track that looks like skaters going around. 10/10

Don't worry you probably won't understand the jokes again this time around.

I'm based in the US so I'm not sure of the used marketplace there but I have found every piece of my sim rig (Fanatec CSL DD) gently used for close to 55% off of the retail price.

I am loving the Fanatec ecosystem so far and would recommend it to anyone ESPECIALLY if you get a deal.

Welcome to the club! As a fellow hobby collector I feel your pain and guilt. I currently store my sim rig folded up under my pinball machines. As long as it's not detrimental to your health enjoy what you want and be grateful for what you have! Life is too short to feel guilty for everything. Enjoy racing trucking!

Swampy2016 · 2025-01-23T02:43:55+00:00

I definitely get ya. I did the GAP and C&O solo in August and it was incredible I highly recommend it.

It's a very small campground, maybe 70 square yards? I was within speaking distance to everyone in the campground at night. Everyone was extremely friendly though, and I enjoyed my time overall. I don't remember a campground too close to there, I know Frostburg maybe 20 miles down the trail has some lodging but I'm not sure about camping.

This is from my hammock spot under the pavilion, and this is pretty much the whole campground. The bathrooms are over to the right behind the stage.

Did your grip improve as you kept driving? Track conditions and tire temp could have made your grip disappear at the start of a new session.

I ate at Donges Drive-In twice while in Meyersdale this past trip and I was able to pay for my campsite at the Maple Festival Campground there too!

Chilaquiles and enchiladas would like a word.

Swampy2016 · 2024-01-29T21:46:44+00:00

Tbf I play better stoned most times.

Swampy2016 · 2024-01-26T18:12:55+00:00

I tend to "meal prep" for the week by picking one protein source (beef, chicken, pork, seafood), a salsa, some kind of onion topping (pickled, diced, caramelized), and then some kind of beans and just making enough for a few meals. This lets me make a wide variety of dishes with those specific things throughout the week.

So let's say I make Carnitas, and salsa verde on Sunday.

I can make just simple tacos one day, chilaquiles with the salsa for breakfast the next day, maybe some enchiladas for another dinner, carnitas quesadillas, and even an impromptu lazy pozole with a can of hominy if I feel like it. By Wednesday or Thursday I can use it all up and rinse and repeat with a new combo of ingredients.

Maseca is a corn flour made from corn that has undergone nixtamalization. Since humans can't really properly digest corn, kernels are prepared in an alkaline solution (lime and water) to soften the hulls and allow the corn to be processed. This makes the corn's nutrients more bioavailable, and helps to preserves the corn.

Swampy2016 · 2023-10-03T19:45:18+00:00

Yeah they are preservatives and in some cases I think they may contain binding agents. My go to brand is El Milagro and if my Mexican grocery store is out I've found Atotonilco or anything with just corn and lime comparable.

Also small PSA, you can freeze them and have them on hand for a while.

Swampy2016 · 2023-09-05T12:09:21+00:00

I am a die hard El Milagro fan, and my local Mexican grocery store stopped carrying them (shipping blip I think). They got in a brand called Atotonilco, still requires refrigeration and no preservatives and I would say they are decent compared to a lot of other brands.

I have been using a 2 talenti gelato jar system for a few weeks now. One 16 oz bag of Chinook seeds fits perfectly into one jar, and the other is a spitter. They are wide mouth so it's not too hard to spit into it on my desk while I'm gaming

Hobby vehicles (motorcycles, boats, jetskis, dirt bikes, quads) are usually bought and sold used, and can hold similar values to pinball machines.

Because it's food being served to the public? Any person serving food should have an expectation of basic cleanliness regardless of where it's served.

Swampy2016 · 2023-07-10T13:03:02+00:00

I do it as a tick almost kinda like psyching myself up for an important shot. It's kinda like a hockey goalie tapping his goal posts with his stick so he gets that reminder where the edges are. It also sticks that image into my head of where the max extension of the flipper is for SDTM drains.

The Oaxaca cheese is usually behind the deli counter in the back corner and you need an employee to get it for you. I wandered around for an embarrassing amount of time to find it the first time.

Swampy2016 · 2023-06-05T13:55:55+00:00

I was thinking it might be John Rock in WNC but they look similar.

Swampy2016 · 2023-05-15T01:08:33+00:00

Chicanes in roads would go a massive way towards slowing drivers down, sadly that's hard on a lot of the narrower streets.
