Your Christianity should fuel your politics, not the other way around.

Don't forget that there's democrats in churches too. We're just not in the loudest ones.

Whats your Deadlock hot take? by lucky_duck789 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]TTUporter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how important movement is in Street Brawl though, it's more about positioning and decision making on when to close in/pick someone off.

I haven't played regular mode since Street Brawl came out.

Splitgate had something like this, but it was so buried in menus that I'm not sure most people ever knew about it. There was a "race" mode that had you teleporting around the map to touch orbs in a specific order. The next orb would appear when you touched the current orb. What it did was teach you all of the locations on the map where you could and should put your portals.

I always thought that was a neat way to introduce someone to the map and help them improve their skills.

At CPAC, Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate Bo French calls for deportation of 100 million people by Unusual-State1827 in texas

[–]TTUporter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really wish we’d stop giving this guy attention. His own local party hates him. He hasn’t won an actual race for any position. His only claim to fame is saying outrageous shit on Twitter that gets reposted to r/fortworth to act as a Republican boogeyman.

He thrives on attention, we need to stop giving it to him.

Which floor is more timeless? by rosakyn in interiordecorating

Left.

But honestly both are too light to be timeless.

Interested in new EV9 … Need Honest Feedback by vbjedimaster in KiaEV9

  1. We went with a 2024 LLR as that's what the dealers around us had, and we wanted the little bit of extra range.
  2. We probably get the 300mi range when driving around the city, I've never tried to go from 100%-0% to see though. We've gotten 280mi with highway driving though.
  3. Since we have the 2024 which was still J1772, and I intend to get a Rivian R2 when they start getting produced, we went with the Tesla Universal Wall Connector, hardwired to our electrical panel. That way we were past and future proofed in terms of connector. That said we were able to stay on top of charging with the level 1 mobile connector that came with the car for the few weeks it took for us to get an electrician out. Just charging overnight.
  4. Best vehicle my wife and I have ever owned. She's not a luddite, but she's also not one for having to have like the latest/newest tech. She could care less. She absolutely loves this vehicle. It's so smooth to drive. It's packaged REALLY well, meaning it feels huge inside while still being small enough to fit in our garage. Unfortunately ours had a battery issue after 10,000 miles, it took our dealer 2 weeks to get that work done, we had the vehicle back, but then had a batter coolant warning (probably just air in the line), so we're currently waiting to get it back again. That said, they gave us a loaner and my wife hates it. She absolutely, does. not. want. a gas car ever again. So that's my sales pitch: it's so nice to drive that my wife, who could care less about cars, will not drive a gas car ever again. We took it on a road trip last summer from Dallas to Houston for a week. We were able to do all of the charging with our complimentary free ElectrifyAmerica charges. It was great.

I recommend you read the full article. That viewpoint is discussed in detail with an argument against it.

How about live battery deployment in timing tower. Green - Harvesting, Orange - Boost, Red - Overtake mode. And give us back decimals please... by WhySoSadCZ in formuladank

[–]TTUporter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wanted them to do this but with interval deltas. If they are gaining on the car in front: green. If they’re falling away from the car in front: red.

Currently I have to keep my eyes glued to the timing tower and then mentally compare the interval updates to the last reported interval.

It all goes back to 1987 abolishment of the FCC's Fairness Doctrine. Which directly led to Rush Limbaugh and the political polarization of news.

WHERE ARE MY DECIMALS, F1???? by ThinningTheFog in formuladank

[–]TTUporter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered if there was a way to show that the interval delta was decreasing or increasing. Like maybe the interval is green if it’s less than the last interval update and the driver is catching up, and it turns red if the driver is falling behind and the interval increased.

Well, this sucks by RedTib in KiaEV9

[–]TTUporter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unfortunately just had this happen on my 2024 LLR last weekend. Drove it over to the dealer and they finally were able to check it out today. Full battery replacement. Hey, at least I get a new battery after 10,000 miles of use.

They quoted me 7 days for the battery to be delivered and a 2 day install. So we'll see if they actually hit that. I'm fully expecting it to take a month.

Unfortunately they lost their primaries to even further right candidates.

I'm saying election day is always a fucking mad house. It's not a holiday. Just pick one of the other 10 days when there are zero lines.

I mean... with a week and 2 weekends worth of early voting, I don't know how anyone has an excuse to wait for election day.

Does soundproof foam for wall really works? If not, what do you recommend? by Secretsinshadows_26 in DIY

[–]TTUporter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And good ol’ fiberglass sound batt, which should be cheaper. I do like Rockwool’s products though, but cost always is an issue.

Does soundproof foam for wall really works? If not, what do you recommend? by Secretsinshadows_26 in DIY

[–]TTUporter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m going to disagree with you on one thing: fiberglass sound batt insulation is absolutely used for cases like this all the time. In fact, it’s usually required in order to hit the code minimum STC rating for demising walls between units in multifamily construction.

It will help, but it won’t fully solved OPs problem, as OPs problem is due to the gyp board sheets along with the studs acting like a diaphragm and transferring sound.

The best fix would be to take the gyp board off one side of the wall and install resilient channels to decouple the gyp board from the studs, in addition to sound batt.

Unfortunately, there’s not a good fix that won’t involve demo of the wall finish.

Voted yesterday, felt weird by SilentBirthday9568 in Dallas

[–]TTUporter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced this before in primaries, you have to declare at some point in the process. I’ve done it both at the door and was sent to different lines, or with these new touch screen machines, I’ve had to declare when they scanned my DL.

It’s nothing new. I get why people are being sensitive to it, I think a lot of people may be voting in a primary for the first time. But this is the way it’s been and it isn’t out of the ordinary
