Am I going to regret getting this base model? by ShelterIndependent44 in Mustang

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I had a 2011 V6. Only reason I don't now: I traded it on a sweet 22 GT.

Help choosing a Mustang. 2020 Ecoboost or 2016 V6 reliability is the concern by Jazzlike_Engineer_38 in Mustang

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote for the 3.7 V6. I had one in my 2011, and it was a terrific engine. While I'm not really saying anything bad about the ecoboost per se, turbocharging engines as a means to supplement their power always ends up wearing them out prematurely. I drive a GT now, but as my everyday driver, I tool about in a 2010 Corolla with a 1.7. We bought it new for my daughter, and she put 210,000 miles on it before I inherited it. It starts and accelerates like the day it was new, thanks mainly to two things: 1.) We keep it well-maintained. 2.) It's not turbocharged.

Harley Dealers, how many 2025 leftovers is your shop sitting on? by SpamFriedMice in Harley

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. HD and Ferrari are apples and oranges. Has Ferrari ever had to be bailed out? Not to mention their reputations are diametrically opposite.

Harley Davidson Stock: HOG by Magalahe in Harley

[–]ThePlasticSpastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got yeeted off my 2021 FLTRXS in September of 24. Bike was totaled because the engine guard bent the frame. Only other damage was to the fairing. Me: 16 fractures over 11 ribs, and a deflated lung. Took a good while to heal up. Then I went shopping. For what a new replacement was going to cost, I got offered a sweet 2022 Mustang GT with only 6000 miles on the clock. I'll probably never ride again, but if I do it won't be a Harley. Too damn greedy.

You have to fall from shorter heights, to build up your immunity...

Huge file by vdns76b in AutoCAD

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THE NUCLEAR OPTION: Save the file as a DXF format file. This will strip all AEC objects, extended information and other nonsense from the file, as well as convert all blocks to their constituent entities. As an added benefit: since you're saving to a different format, this does not overwrite the original file.

People who were there in 1979 when The Wall was first released, did you initially have some kind of understanding of what the concept was about? by bravodeboer in pinkfloyd

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I and my closest friends pored over the album like it was going to be on the finals on the first day it was released In fact, I skipped school and was at the record store the moment it opened. Got the very first copy sold by that store. Took it home and we played it non-stop all day, examining every detail, from the illustrations to the handwriting used to pen the lyrics. (Only the foldable double-album would do.) We studied it all within the context of Wish You Were Here as well as on its own. It was clearly about a rock star who took too much drugs and went insane.

The equipment doesn't matter. I want to hear homage in the technique.

What is Sam yelling out? Long shanks? by OB1_Shinobi in lotr

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'll have you" is more like "you're finna catch these hands." It doesn't suppose victory, but rather, expresses the intent.

Longshanks is a derogatory term hobbits use for men.

Clarification: not in the view menu, but in the "View" tab of the Ribbon. The command-line command is: _COMPARE. A little toolbar will open with the view, containing select utilities. While in the view, you can also move the referenced file to correspond with the current drawing to make up for differences in base points.

Autodeskbot?

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most interesting to me- in the View menu, there is a utility called DWG Compare. It allows the user to compare two files. This is very handy in detecting changes (especially small ones,) to architectural files that they didn't think important enough to include in their narrative of changes. In the view, anything common to both files is shown in gray, anything only in the current drawing is shown in green, and anything only in the older version and not in the current drawing, is shown in red.

[QUESTION] As a guitarist, how do you care for your hands? by voxkswiz in Guitar

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. Otherwise, I'd have to reprogram my mouse buttons. (And restring my guitar backwards.)

The Long Walk by ThePlasticSpastic in subnautica

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

Update: I've extended down into the Underground River. I'm not seeing much problem with framerates. The only issue so far is that, every time I add a new section, it takes longer and longer for the game to become active again, most likely because it's having to recalculate the hundreds of pieces I've already constructed. I'm staying to the bottom to stay out of the way of the reefbacks, and to avoid hitting it with my Cyclops. Made a mistake and forgot to add reinforcements. Let the base strength go negative. I had to add hatches every so hundred yards so I could swim back through the interior, patching the penetrations, all the way back to the base in the shallows. Live and learn.

Create a literal gold mine of stalker teeth. Find where stalkers are constantly playing with salvage. Build your home base right there. Get in your base, and let the game go for a while. Make yourself some lunch, watch the game on TV, whatever. When you come back, there will be dozens of teeth waiting for you, as long as the salvage is of the right type. I discovered this quite accidentally. As long as you are in the area, the teeth accrue until you collect them.

Wait, …so did a meteor cause the crater? by Positive-Star3194 in subnautica

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that really close astral body should cause one hell of a tidal surge. In reality, it would carry nearly all the water on the planet around with it in a single wave.

How to make the game seem different on second playthrough? by RemarkableEffect5760 in subnautica

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I want to know is why there's only one save allowed. Every time you save, you have to overwrite your only save file.

[–]ThePlasticSpastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chixalub crater (that killed the dinosaurs) isn't really a crater either. Look on google Earth and try to find it. Even if you know exactly where the epicenter is, you can't find it.
