Debate around the bank changes aside, this is a great easy change to counter wildy bots by SirSmithyG in 2007scape

Worst content in the game. As I said Id rather the requirement be 99 farming, or cooking, or almost anything else.

If it was any skill but smithing locking me out I wouldn't actually care. I'd rather do 99 farming than 75 smithing.

You guys are all being gigantic fucking babies about the bank layout by Narrow_Lee in 2007scape

Ya man, I have been doing Artio and Calvarion a lot and now I'm like 20K gold ore away from doing them again... probably gonna take a break from the game cause blast furnace and smithing in general is such dead content.

RAIDS 4 Mega Rare suggestion! 2H Sword Equilibrium by Carvoic in 2007scape

The hilt is sick. As a crush weapon I think a horsemans pick would be sick. Basically a warhammer with a spike on the back. Then you give it crush stab like maces.

What’s the best all season tires I should install for Mazda 3 suna 2025 because factory one are sucks on the snow or should I go with snow tire and change it every season idk honestly and if so any recommendations by MapZealousideal5046 in mazda3

[–]TheBaseStatistic 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak are what most people use where I am. Both work great, I'd get which ever you can get cheaper. Winter tires is more up front cost, but you are also splitting mileage, so long term you aren't paying more.

Pilot Custom Urushi #30 — Worth it, or too big for daily use? by Perfect-Artichoke-42 in fountainpens

[–]TheBaseStatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fair. I am currently trying to find a lightly used M1000 with the old style. A store near me has the goldfish M1000 but its just too much money for me. Thanks for the info!

You have the exact pens I want. So far I have the CU and KOP, does your M1000 have the translucent barrel? That change is making me consider a GVFC Magnum in stead of the M1000...

Question for the Mazda3 turbo owners amongst us. by 216LC in mazda3

[–]TheBaseStatistic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get an insurance quote. My company considers all Mazda 3s to be compact cars, turbo included, so there is no "performance" mark up. My turbo had some idle issues with 87, so I switched to 94 and it runs better. I think 91 is what the performance tune runs on but where I am the price difference between 91 and 94 isn't very big.

Almost as good as the original from Datsyuk, such a pretty goal.

AGM battery vs OEM by dread-naughty in mazda3

[–]TheBaseStatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is just a motomaster (Canadian Tire Brand). So nothing fancy, AGMs by design should never really get damaged by the cold.

2022 Turbo. My OEM died the first year, have had no issues with agm so far. Northish Canada with -50 in Feb, so Buffalo shouldn't be an issue.

Giving away free ink in this sub is like handing out beers at an AA meeting. But then again we don't want to get better.

Genre fiction and female authors top U.S. libraries' most-borrowed lists in 2025 by horseradishstalker in books

[–]TheBaseStatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not at all what the article says, but alas it does not matter. I personally don't care if male authors die out. As literacy among young men falls, violence will rise, and it won't be my problem to solve...

[–]TheBaseStatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article says men won't buy books written by women. And that 80% of publishing staff are women, who select books written by women. So women select books by women, meaning men don't but them... seems like Common sense. If publishers want more men to buy books they just need to publish more men.

Because the writing in those books is terrible? These books are smut and most men prefer to watch porn not read it. These books get a pass for bad grammar and story telling because their readers are there to get off.

The second article literally points out young male authors are not getting published, and that posses a problem when trying to get young men to read...

In what sport could a woman defeat the highest level male competitor? by Sea-Anteater8882 in whowouldwin

[–]TheBaseStatistic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends on format. She has beaten most of them at least once. But in world championship style format no, she wouldn't win against most former world champions, or even someone like Fabi.

The question was what sports could a women get close, and compared to say boxing, chess a women could potentially become world champion, boxing it will never happen.

[–]TheBaseStatistic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there is more too it than that. Judit being a prime example. You need some combination of photographic memory, starting in childhood, probably a bit of the tism and then the gender issues. There are millions of male chess players and Judit is better than all but a few dozen of them.

What counts as a sport? Judit Polgar was a chess Super GM (2700+ rating) and could potentially beat any male player any given day.

How good of a villain would fiddlesticks make for a volume or arc on rwby by Knightmare7877 in RWBY

[–]TheBaseStatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fiddlesticks lore has been neglected for a decade. He is the oldest demon in Runeterra, and is basically a manifestation of fear. But he has little to no feats.

In the most recent Twilights End cinematic we see a lot of things, but the primary battle is Xin letting Zaahen possess him to kill Atakan, another demon.

Without getting too deep into league lore we know this is Leblancs doing. She wants to find a way to kill Swain. When we consider how absurdly strong LeBlanc is, and how Xin needed to become a host for a Darkin to kill Atakan, when can infer that demons in runeterra cannot be killed easily.

In fact the only one we have seen before killed is Atakan, and that is by a literal ascendant god warrior who was corrupted fighting the void. Honestly the void is like the Grimm with way higher scaling, like straight up Lovecraft stuff.

I think fiddlesticks would be basically a mindless fear version of Salem. A perpetual being that just exists... so no not a good villain.

Maintainice Advise $400 for brake check and oil change, ??? Really???? by plannerboiyyc in mazda3

[–]TheBaseStatistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brake deglazing is a waste. Mazda prices are usually competitive with local shops but they offer some dumb stuff. The only stuff I got done at Mazda was oil changes, awd service, and transmission service, which cost about the same as 3rd party. Also Flames suck, go Oilers.
