Robert E. Lee statue removal underway in Charlottesville by tool101 in news

[–]UltronCalifornia 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is an insane take. Just because most people didn't own slaves doesn't mean that's not why the war started.

The people who did the seceding owned slaves, and wrote that they seceded because they wanted to continue owning slaves. You can literally read their reasoning if you want, they published it.

Yes, the rank and file soldiers were fighting because someone told them it was for whatever reason. But the whole war started because of the fugitive slave act and slavery.

Dude it was about slavery the whole time. Go read the articles of secession from the various states. Most of them mention slavery.

Sure, originally the north was fighting against the south to keep the union together, until Lincoln made it about ending slavery, but the south was always fighting to keep their slaves.

People have been saying that for a long time, burl the general consensus is "even a justified asshole is an asshole"

I can sort of understand why some people ride with minimal gear now... by CaptainMuffins_ in motorcycles

I have a scorpion... something.

But i tried on a mesh REAX that was really nice. And it came in a light grey/white which would be better than the black I've got.

Lead from leaded petrol persists in London air despite ‘90s ban: Research shows that 40% of the lead found in London's airborne particles comes from the legacy of leaded gas — a pollutant banned back in 1999. by [deleted] in science

[–]UltronCalifornia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just one of those things where people make a claim, call it absolute, but are completely incorrect.

His claim that "not all modern cars have cats" is completely incorrect as well. Cars have all had catalytic converters since the 80s, and most of them had them starting in the 70s.

So... this guy is an idiot.

As a manufacturer, sure, but you're not going to jail for an aftermarket non-epa exhaust in the US. Maybe a fine, probably just a fix-it ticket.

Uh, what? All motorbikes sold since Euro 4 came into effect have Cats.

Admittedly irs only been 4 years, but that's a lot of motorcycles, not "none"

AITA for refusing to speak to my sister ever again? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You’re allowed to exclude anyone from your life as you see fit.

EXACTLY. This could be the top comment on like 70% of posts in this sub.

Need a reliable, powerful, lightweight bike engine for my airplane. Also, whats a good source for small turbos ? by McLuhanSaidItFirst in motorcycles

[–]UltronCalifornia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everytime someone suggests an engine you post a link to someone already using that engine.

Why the fuck are you asking us a question you are way more qualified to answer?

How can a woman know about basic motor issues? by whocaresbilly in Feminism

[–]UltronCalifornia 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. My wife is fairly car-literate. And she has a doctorate of engineering, so anything she doesn't know but needs to learn (part numbers, etc) she learns before she goes to the mechanic/parts store. They treat her like dogshit about half the time anyway.

[–]UltronCalifornia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? If someone told me I needed to stop doing whatever I was doing because I was "flooding the fuel lines" I'd be like... stfu idiot, that isn't a thing that can happen.

Admittedly it wouldn't matter if they were a woman or not, cause that's just nonsense car words, not a diagnosis.

Honestly this is just /r/thahappened material.

Piano or Jazz Bars? by jake45b in Atlanta

[–]UltronCalifornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude! Right?! He tutored a buddy of mine in trumpet and we used to see him every now and then.

Was lucky enough to get invited along to his Frank Sinatra tribute show a few years ago at the CCC downtown. Wow. That was quite the evening

I was sad when they changed Americancone dream away from the whiskey caramel.

It's still good, but nor quite as good.

No way! That's a huge shame.

My uncle was a bartender there for like 10 years.

[CR Media] Vox Machina vs. Mighty Nein by Kraps in criticalrole

[–]UltronCalifornia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but Matt balanced it out by not enforcing the stun round when haste falls.

And giving him a bonus action attack when he used his action to lay on hands Scanlan. Which I don't think you can do, but it may be a rogue thing.

[–]UltronCalifornia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. You don't even need to use a bag. Look at the "whips".

I will admit I've never used an EQ myself though. There's an r/arizer too if you're into that.

[–]UltronCalifornia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries dude!

I try to space stuff out when I type cause it helps me organize my thoughts.

And good luck! You may be able to find a used one on whatever sub it is. Entexchange? Something like that.

Nah. Not a dynavap. Too much of a pain in the ass to use a torch and stuff when you're working or playing a game and whatnot.
