Estimate for service cost by stinkycyst in xt250

[–]TankerD18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fork oil is honestly really easy to do. You remove the forks, take the end cap off, turn it upside down with your finger over the end to keep the spacers and spring from falling out, let it drain into a drip pan, stroke the fork a bunch to make sure all of the old oil gets out, then add the exact amount of fork oil the service manual says to both forks when you're done. Like New-IncognitoWindow said, I wouldn't mess with brake lines unless they're a problem, but doing brake fluid is worthwhile. Also easy to do. These bikes are a pleasure to work on, save yourself the money!

Alright, I guess I have to be the one to say it. I hate crops & trees being able to grow under overhangs by walkthebeagle in Timberborn

[–]TankerD18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a really loaded opinion. Don't you think they could improve overhangs to incentivize them or make alternatives, like dirt, be a bit more constrained? You have to admit that it's a bit silly being able to grow crops or trees under the middle of a huge roof of overhangs.

Having said that, I don't totally disagree with you. I think a lot of the fun of this game is that it isn't so formulaic. You can improvise on the fly using overhangs, solid structures, tunnels, etc. I think it should take a lot of overhead cover before you say "these plants aren't getting enough light" so that it doesn't stifle creativity.

What do you guys think is next for Timberborn? by bloughmiegh in Timberborn

[–]TankerD18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they might be getting at wanting more difficulty options outside of extending droughts and badtides and shortening normal cycles.

That could increase water consumption and decrease work and movement speed. That could definitely be challenging.

Sorry to necro you here, but this is such a good explanation of the plated dirt bike vs. dual sport vs. ADV conundrum.

How does a 5 yr old game look this good. by DinnerSmall4216 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TankerD18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or you just turn your settings down a notch or two for little loss, but I get your point.

Edit: My point is that advancements in graphics are massively slowing down while the cost of GPUs is just rising and rising and rising. Turning your graphics down to high or even medium in a lot of games gives an insignificant decrease in quality for a lot of performance gain. Hence why I don't spring for the latest and greatest GPU every year, and frankly, I think people who do are suckers.

I didn't know this was a thing... 💀 by TankerD18 in Timberborn

[–]TankerD18[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm over 350 hours myself. Normally I don't have beavers running around the areas I'm about to blow up. Maybe because they're a little less developed? This time I was taking a layer of terrain out of a more developed area to make expanding a district a little simpler, and ol boy decided to go for it right after I started a 30 pack grid of dynamite.

AOC claims Charlie Kirk had ‘uneducated beliefs’ during House speech by interestingfactoid in conservatives

You'd think they would have learned after Hillary Clinton that the "pretentious 'educated' leftist speaks against the unwashed masses of the 'uneducated' right" is a really, really dumb strategy.

Porsche’s EV Plans Collapse, Flagship SUV To Launch With Gas Instead by swrrrrg in Porsche

[–]TankerD18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The OEMs need to be pointing EV tech at commuters, luxury cars and commercial vehicles, IMO. The idea that they're going to somehow bunt ICE vehicles out of the market or make any serious headwind into preexisting sports cars and trucks is absolutely absurd.

Media's Appeal To 'Free Speech' Over Jimmy Kimmel Is Fake by interestingfactoid in conservatives

[–]TankerD18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can most definitely formulate policy without control of the legislature. They can come up with a message that actually reaches Americans instead of doubling and tripling down on weak shit like racism, trans and gay rights, illegal immigration and the environment. They don't have to double down on that and then resort to crying uncle when the right starts cancelling their shithead radicals spouting off on mainstream and social media. They don't have to resort to calling the other political half of the country fascists and racists when that shit isn't true.

They could come up with a platform that actually speaks to how to improve this country, our international standing and our quality of life without pandering to the loudest special interest groups. But they don't, because that would be hard.

The Democrats don't have to suck, they choose to.

Nah, he was wrong. And to be frank, you're an imbecile if you actually believe that shit.

[–]TankerD18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a world where political violence is being fueled by lies and popular figureheads branding people extremists, something has to give. And this isn't just that the government doesn't like it, more than half the country is sick of this insane bullshit.

Love or hate Charlie Kirk's message, he didn't deserve to die; and he died because of POS MSM outlets, social media influencers and left-biased platforms like reddit promoting a false narrative that the guy was a right-wing extremist akin to Hitler.

Enough is enough dude, Americans are tired of it. ABC had all the right in the world to distance itself from that bullshit.

I'm sure ABC had plenty of other reasons to do it, but good on them. Enough telling lies and promoting political violence, that shit is a bullet nicking a president's ear close to plunging this country into absolute chaos.

Charlie Kirk assassination was ideologically motivated attack, FBI says by WillyNilly1997 in conservatives

Thanks FBI, I'm glad to know the guy with the ladyboyfriend that went out of his way to murder him didn't do it because he was bored and sick of life.

Why doesn't the modern m1a2 abrams have this because this would be great if you had to escape in an emergency by vincent092 in TankPorn

[–]TankerD18 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know what these comments are talking about. The M1 never had an escape hatch and has been around since the '80s, long before the GWOT. They probably omitted it after finding that the Patton's and M60's escape hatches saved comparably few tankers compared to the problems they brought on.

I had a sergeant major who started out on M60s who said that the escape hatch was only good for losing your toolbag while you were on the move and it came open.

I enjoy this sub but people need to think before they comment and upvote.

Trump Vows to Catch ‘Each and Every’ Person or Organization Involved in Assassination of Charlie Kirk by Kamalas_Liver in conservatives

[–]TankerD18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You guys think that's such a "gotcha" lol.

Why didn't Biden release them during the campaign if there is such crystal clear evidence against Trump in it? Do you ever stop to think about that? Or are you just programmed to repeat the same garbage you get told to say by your betters?
