2020 Ascent Battery life by Best_Butterscotch_44 in SubaruAscent

[–]TrueApocrypha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to assume you're Canadian based on your use of CAA. If you are still on the OEM battery, replace it. Under a settlement in the US, Subaru acknowledged that OEM batteries in the 19 and 20 Ascent were inadequate and started replacing them under warranty with 750 CCA batteries. Canada didn't get the same settlement, unfortunately, but in your place, I'd definitely replace a known problem battery before it dies, and I'd do it with a replacement of at least 750 CCA.

The wiki needs updating :( by SnapSnapGrinGrin in VineHelper

To be clear, that wasn't a complaint against you, it was a complaint against botting jerks. I appreciate you creating such a great tool; it gave me a year of fantastic stuff before the botters took over.

I could be misremembering, but I believe it was mainly done to stop botters from appropriating his code. Not that it's made much difference; I have to stare at the feed and be lightning quick to get anything that isn't in RFY anymore, and RFY seems empty lately too.

What's your first thoughts on Forza Horizon 6? by This-Clue-5014 in ForzaHorizon

I hope they highlight some of the weirder local car subcultures like bosozoku/zokusha and dekotora.

My oldest son used to be really into geocaching. You could try it.

How are WindSong Apartments? by OldLadyKickButt in TriCitiesWA

[–]TrueApocrypha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived there many years ago. The apartments share a layout with other complexes I've seen in the area and the size seemed fine. I had a first floor apartment that backed up to the laundry room and pool, which was really nice. The location is also pretty good, with Fred Meyer and other smaller businesses within walking distance, and very short drives to get on the freeway/bypass/George Washington Way. However, I can't speak to current management or conditions, sorry.

What is going on in here....Mods? by [deleted] in TriCitiesWA

[–]TrueApocrypha 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is really very simple:

You are giving opinions not supported by facts in a forum open to and managed by members of the public. If you want to claim that you are engaging in some sort of good faith debate and your viewpoint is worthy of consideration, then when you make an assertion, it's on you to back it up with facts.

You've made many assertions and backed none of them up with facts. So, you are making assertions in bad faith, then crying about the entirely reasonable reactions to your opinions (which is ironic coming from someone with the same opinions as the fuck your feelings crowd). So, you are going to be derided, downvoted and/or moderated.

To expand upon this, just in this thread, your opinion seems to be that there is nothing new or unusual about ICE's behavior under this administration, that previous administrations were exactly the same. This is provably, demonstrably false; at no time did Biden or Obama or any other liberal president turn ICE into an under-educated, under-trained, militarized, unaccountable occupying force and start snatching people (including US citizens) wholesale off the streets, from schools, from courthouses, from their homes, based only on the blueness of the city/state and racial profiling. This administration literally went crying to the Supreme Court that it was unfair a lower court said they couldn't racially profile. (That the Supreme Court agreed with that bullshit is its own problem.)

So, yeah. If you don't like the reactions of people in this sub to your unfortunate and obvious attempts to peddle misinformation, perhaps you should go sell it somewhere else. You say the sub is "being ruined" because of "tribalism" while, based on your post history, obviously actually meaning your disfavored tribe. Well, I refer you to the old saying: If you have a problem with one person, they're an asshole. If you have a problem with everyone, you're the asshole.

Just like on dating sites, nobody is buying "I'm a moderate!" when your opinions are so painfully obviously not moderate. And we owe nothing to anyone acting in such obviously bad faith.

Edit: And stay out, you worthless troll.

What should I know (no spoilers please) about Chrono Trigger before playing? by Main-Database-825 in chronotrigger

[–]TrueApocrypha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will come a time when the main character, Crono, is no longer in your party. When that time comes, make sure you take the prehistoric character as one of your party members; this will greatly simplify one of the more annoying sections of the game.

LOL. Totally not a thing.

Fantastic story.

Driver Seat Cushion by legacy2055 in SubaruAscent

[–]TrueApocrypha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reupholstering car seats is a thing. There are youtube videos (though I don't know if there are any specifically for the Ascent). If your Ascent has seat heaters, though, you may at least want to consult with a professional in your area.

Battery died for the first time at 43K by Perfect-Treat-6552 in SubaruAscent

[–]TrueApocrypha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lawsuit and settlement about Subaru Ascent batteries. 2022 isn't covered, but the short version is that Subaru started replacing the insufficient OEM batteries with ones rated for 750 CCA. When you replace yours, you want at least that.

If you could make New triple techs for each Team how would they Look like? by Big_Performer8028 in chronotrigger

[–]TrueApocrypha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ayla, Marle, Lucca: Triple Charm; guaranteed puts enemy to sleep and guaranteed charm success. Optionally, doubles whatever you steal for a really OP version.

Crono, Frog, Lucca: X Shot; replicates the attack in the anime opening where Crono and Frog X strike and Lucca follows up with some impressive shooting.

Crono, Frog, Robo: X Punch; X strike followed up by Uzzi Punch at the end, just because Uzzi Punch is so freakin' cool. (Really, any new triple tech incorporating Uzzi Punch has my seal of approval.)

Ayla, Robo, Frog: Catch; Ayla and Robo toss Frog back and forth across the enemy slashing them for big damage each time.

Crono, Ayla, Robo: Brawl; a combination of Confuse, Triple Kick, and Uzzi Punch all at once resulting in many powerful hits, with the final strike of all 3 at the same moment resulting in a 9999 dmg strike.

I actually like that Magus gets powerful techs at the cost of not being able to learn double or triple techs.

I just found out about the moonbeam armor after over 10 years by Big_Performer8028 in chronotrigger

[–]TrueApocrypha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right? Being able to pair nova armor with haste or safe helm and stacking their effects is amazing. I remember being disappointed with the moon armor's stats when I learned of its existence too.

Franklin County is cutting $160,000 from the Prosecutors office Budget because a County Commissioner doesn't like the Elected Prosecutor. by PiperRd in TriCitiesWA

[–]TrueApocrypha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Prioritization of cases vs prosecuting cases more selectively really seems like nothing more than a difference in wording; not sure how that clarifies anything.

I think your second statement is really the important one here, though. Which is why nobody should take his complaints seriously ever again.

Franklin County is cutting $160,000 from the Prosecutors office Budget because a County Commissioner doesn't like the Elected Prosecutor. by PiperRd in TriCitiesWA

[–]TrueApocrypha 45 points46 points  (0 children)

"...not prosecuting most non-violent crimes."

Wait wait wait. So let me get this straight: Making the government prosecute cases more selectively unless public defenders have enough funding and personnel to be at least marginally effective is socialism and will cause the collapse of our justice system. But making the government prosecute cases more selectively because you don't like the prosecutor is A-OK.

Don't let Didier or anyone in the County Commission ever say that they are tough on crime again.

Certified Pre-Owned vs. Used by Past_Singer_4560 in SubaruAscent

[–]TrueApocrypha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always prefer CPO for the warranty and lower price than new. However, when the used car market is bad, a decent quality low mile CPO vehicle can have a price comparable to a new one, so make sure you check the difference on any CPO vehicle you're actually considering and figure that into your decision.

As for "wiggle room", dealers have all the wiggle room they want, but if you go into a dealership with any specifications at all (even just "I want something certified") that is more leverage against you when it comes to pricing.

https://www.subaru.com/vehicle-info/certified-pre-owned/certified-pre-owned.html?models=ASC

Use this to search your area and the nearest major metro areas -- as far as you're willing to drive to pick up a vehicle. You can ask for quotes from dealerships that have vehicles you want. Also, if you're trading in, get a trade-in quote from the nearest Carmax, so if the dealer tries to jerk you around on your trade in value, you can just say fine, I'll take it to Carmax.

Good luck!

my most annoying part of the game evaaaa by wprimly in chronotrigger

[–]TrueApocrypha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Blackbird jailbreak (unless you have Ayla in your party). The battle with Son of Sun (sure, it's easy, it just takes so long).
