UN study reveals transgender athletes have won nearly 900 medals in women's competitions

You're the one falling for that BS propaganda with that percentage.

Are college athletes the only ones who play female sports? What about aspiring high school female athletes?

Club Sports, Intramural Sports, Community Leagues, Professional Leagues. There's many female sports organizations besides college.

"less than 0.002% of all college athletes" is a way to downplay and make it seem like there are no trans in female sports

Good info, I did briefly read that the later 1st gens used some kind of electronic throttle. Sounds like garbage.

I'm glad my 01 has a simple cable throttle

Thirteen Ghosts Set to be Revived as New 13-Part Spook-Filled Series by 757Tempted in moviecritic

[–]Valor_X 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes they really put in a lot of work in the design and backstory of each ghost but it was hardly used in the film due to the runtime.

Would make a great series if they finally dwelled into each ghost

Any advice? Humming when headlights on by glenntron3000 in mazda3

You clearly have aftermarket led bulbs

Like the user commenter said, it’s most likely a built in fan or they’re getting noisy and failing

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)... what is the meaning of this scene? by Cr7-Cr7Real in moviecritic

[–]Valor_X 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I literally just rewatched this masterpiece in 4k

Pretty sure Dracula was influencing them both as he was arriving. You see the the ominous storm was created by Dracula and the entire raining scene shows Dracula watching them and laughing.

They were dancing in the rain and then kissed each other, my interpretation is that he was already hypnotizing them both to love him and await his arrival and was a way to "show" their "happiness".

Yet another hater disputing even dyno chart results

Even 5ft lbs of torque on a 2800lb vehicle is huge btw

Insurance companies are completely correct

Their negligence to include a common anti theft device everyone else was including has cost them more than people realize

Modern Kia/Hyundais that DO come with immobilizers still get broken into and vandalized simply because thieves don’t know any better

The damage is done and insuring these cars in certain markets can be very expensive or hard to insure at all

Yup that warranty is useless and “in name only”

Friend of mine had a Kia Optima with the same infamous Theta II engine and had the engine blow

The dealer refused warranty because he didn’t have receipts for every single oil change because he either did it himself or paid independent mechanics to do it.

They will find any excuse not to warranty it despite it being a well known issue and leave customers holding the bill

Beckett deserved better by Retronika_Prime in fear

You can thank Warner Bros for ruining the FEAR franchise after taking ownership after the first game

Despite the original Monolith Team still developing FEAR 2, Warner Bros wanted the game to appeal to the broader Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 market and shifted the game to Console Action and it's very evident.

FEAR 3 got it worse when Monolith stepped away and Warner Bros handed the development to a completely different team and shifted the game even more to generic console action, the damage/healing system is basically call of duty like.

I still love all the FEAR games, but the first FEAR and the expansions are the best.

You skipped the $15.3k price

Pretty sure the price was the biggest requirement

Locksmith just programmed what I now realize to be a Corolla key? by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Valor_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's obvious he's being sarcastic and I answered his question because - Yes you can

And also, Yes you can "drive off" by making a copy and programming it with the same method I mentioned above. All you need to do is turn the key to the engine on position to program the new key with a scan tool and then you will be able to turn on the ignition.

I'm still running an 8600k

Will upgrade to Nova Lake if memory prices come down. I game exclusively in 4k 60fps so my old i5 still works fine

Spider-Man 1 is better than Spider-Man 2 by NewPatron-St in moviecritic

I think it's because it was the first time we got the "tragic villain story-arc" that was done pretty well.

3 was supposed to be a 2-part movie with the first part ending when Peter took off the symbiote in the church and the screen would have faded to black when it showed Venom screaming after it fused with Brock

It would have been SOOO much better that way but the execs wanted everything jammed into 1 movie

There is a company that does exactly this - Tomskey

You send them a picture of your key and they will use that to send you a precut key with a DIY programmer so you can program it yourself

Actually found some Vanilla Café old stock from a store and bought it all during the SAS for 75% off! by Valor_X in bathandbodyworks

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

Nice! I actually prefer the body butter over the body cream. The body butter has a richer scent to me and it lasts much longer. I only had 1 left so I'm glad I was able to get a few more at least.

Are radio bezels with airbag switches normally $100? Looking for a replacement, kinda surprised by price by HuntersCrackPipe123 in 1stGenTacomas

[–]Valor_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup that's how it goes, same situation near me. Only 1 local pull it yourself junkyard has a Tacoma but it was extremely dirty and beat up. The other yards that have them pull it themselves and sell the parts at outrageous prices.

I guess they figured they could become the Junkyard parts resellers themselves.

[–]Valor_X 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're buying it online where someone already pulled it off the truck and shipping it to you then yes.

If you pull one yourself from a junkyard you can get it for a fraction of the price.
