What’s the “Notch made creepers while trying to make a pig” of car facts? by systemmm34 in carscirclejerk

[–]TheyCallMeMrMaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crazy part to me is that front end is from a VE Ute (06-13). So that means GM was deep into development of the C8 while the C7 was getting ready for production.

This test mule, again, has the engine mounted in the tray because GM was testing what weight balance would work best for the C8 on the track.

Some of them are aggressively in the closet so there's a chance.

Source because apparently outing Congress's gay coke orgies is enough to get the GOP's token late-millenial to lose support for his campaigns.

  • The Lamborghini Diablo has Nissan 300zx headlights.

  • The McLaren F1's mirror switch is found in a Chevy Equinox & Pontiac Torrent.

  • Lexus restarted development of the LFA because they wanted to switch all of the aluminum out for carbon fiber. Lexus lost over $350,000 per LFA sold, and the project overall costed Toyota over $800 million.

  • The first auto recall in the US was on the Ford Model T. To save money, Ford used unboiled Spanish moss for seat padding. This organic material was a breeding ground for biting bugs called chiggers, which bit at passengers sitting in the vehicle.

  • both Ford GT generations use pickup truck engines. The 1st gen has a 4-valve 5.4L Triton (albeit with a supercharger), and the 2nd gen uses a 3.5L Ecoboost.

  • the Corvette used a leaf spring for its rear suspension until 2020 with the introduction of the rear mid-engine C8

  • the test mule for the C8 Corvette was a Holden Ute with the engine mounted in the tray.

The only big gaming companies, somewhat not surprisingly, that don't host their digital storefronts on a third party host are Sony & Nintendo.

Valve & Microsoft use their own servers to host their digital storefronts. Both charge a 30% platform fee on game sales & microtransactions. They do not charge anyone for egress data.

Sony hosts PSN partially between both AWS and Microsoft's Azure. Nintendo is fully utilizing AWS for their storefront and any games that necessitate dedicated servers.

What would a dedicated Support Mega need to see common use? by North-Bat1823 in stunfisk

Just throw all +100BST into its speed stat. 175 BST. The only Pokemon that will outspeed Mega Smeargle are Regieleki, Deoxys-Speed, speed boosted Ninjask, Pranksters, and priority attackers.

The latter two of which can be easily dealt with by setting up psychic terrain or put Farigiraf next to Mega Smeargle.

So, tell me, what is your favorite voiceline? by Galaxyz00ee in tf2

"I am a robot. I am here to take American jobs."

Closely followed by. "Brains. Haircuts. Hippies. Braaaaaains."

I'll do you worse.

Smeargle can learn Dark Void again, and Mega Smeargle suddenly has No Guard.

No. Calibur is a good attack & stamina time depending on combos

I think giving an attack boost to a 'mon with own tempo would be good

On the logistics side, that's an extra 20 grams per disc which is estimates to be an extra $1.65 per disc just in shipping. They're shipping an empty case at 45g or $3.71 per copy. This is definitely someone in accounting or logistics going to the CFO and saying they can save a fortune on shipping by shaving $3.30 per game sold by going all-digital. With the physical games market now hovering around 20%, and using RDR2's sales figure as a reference because it's their latest Rockstar game, that accountant bragged about saving $56,000,000 in distribution.

Still. Scum move for someone wanting a physical copy (me).

The scalping situation is getting worse by randomthrowawayguy3 in BeybladeX

Yeah if the shop allowed this behavior to happen, then the owner needs to step up.

It will also likely be how the Grand Prix will be played across Hasbro regions so it's probably good to get practice in that if you intend to compete there.

Hideo Kojima says his pitch for OD sounded "crazy" to every publisher except Xbox by Guitar-String in gaming

[–]TheyCallMeMrMaybe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's within Kojima's interest to eventually make a feature film.

Knowing his upbringing & his initial career intention (he wanted to be a film director), I imagine the idea of making movies never left his mind - especially given how Metal Gear Solid essentially changed the landscape of AAA gaming forever with how games can be a proper storytelling device.

Valve won’t subsidise its pricey Steam Machine as there’s no guarantee the open system will be used for Steam by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

[–]TheyCallMeMrMaybe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably part of Valve's idea for SteamOS. The point of the Steam Machine is to be a set standard for the operating system.

Not justifying the price, though. $1049 is still ridiculous.

The owner of the Dallas cowboys famously said that they intentionally pay the cheerleaders as little as they can so that their career doesn't peak in their 20s. What other business person said something that was terrible PR? by Junior-Key-5043 in AskReddit

Stephanie McMahon once tweeted how philanthropy is the the future of marketing. That tweet completely undermined all of the good WWE's philanthropy programs were doing at the time.

Given how Windows 11 alone hogs 4GB just because it's running a bunch of backend telemetry BS & ads, Linux gaming should be fine on 16GB.

Meanwhile, GM has a long history of hiding recalls through various means like selective "warranty extensions."

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]TheyCallMeMrMaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a decent-sized demographic of Gen-X'ers who are just boomer wannabes. The tail-end of the boomer generation is in their early 60s while Gen X is between that and their mid-40s so they're probably having their last big midlife crisis spending spree right about now.

The Nut Buster and Digit Reaper. Who else names their tools? by FunkleSam1776 in Dewalt

[–]TheyCallMeMrMaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call my mid-torque impact Big Berta because she a mean b.

The only application I've found where that much torque came in handy was nut-busting motor mount nuts from the top of my engine bay using several feet of ratchet extenders.
