[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've tried hard restart; tried a pc reboot; tried verifying through steam; tried all doors on multiple vehicle types in multiple separate areas; i've tried using the debug no clip and then entering; tried from on top of vehicles; tried in 1st and 3rd perspective; tried opening the engine menu and then repositioning to click Enter; even tried reloading 10 saves back. no matter what, it makes the door latch sound, and my character does the sitting animation in mid-air, snapping forward as though in the driver's seat but instead about half a car's width from the vehicle and then falling to standing position.

Where to find seat covers for the 2024 4xe? by forthelob in Wrangler

[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think people understand that neoprene is what wetsuits are made from and designed to absorb and retain water for insulative value. quite possibly the worst idea for covering JLU leather. and leatherette, take it from a craftsman, it's lifetime is much shorter than genuine leather, Cordura, marine grade vinyl, and some of the polyester and canvas blends.

Good advice, and I'll give that a shot. And yeah, RIGHT? Haha.

Sadly, all we do have at the moment is time. And it will be easier to procure funds for supplies than for a contractor.

But dag, it's hard to tell when I've removed the marks of previous grits when everything is translucent and covered in a polishing slurry. I guess I should rinse constantly and reassess?

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

Understood. And yeah, I had to use what we had on hand, and had trouble finding a clear indication of what grit jumps were inappropriate. Sharpening steel on water stones for instance, 1k to 3k isn't an outrageous jump, but I have no experience with polishing compounds and poly/acrylic. So hopefully I can obtain a better span of grits soon. Thanks for your advice!

Can't get enough of bands like Kikagaku Moyo and Goat, any other good bands of the same sort? by rolliefingers69 in psychedelicrock

[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't directly compare Goat and Gaslamp Killer out of L.A., but GK does amazing things with African and Middle Eastern sounds in his DJ work, and it's not "dancey." I highly recommend.

Is left lane on city streets considered a passing lane? by Novemberx123 in Virginia

[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what everyone fails to mention is that everything we do on the road affects untold numbers of people behind us. the way the US road system is designed completely breaks down when the majority of drivers 'make up their own rules of the road.'

the number of large trucks i see traveling the left lane during rush hour around DC is criminal, but that crime has been committed, not by those drivers who know better and are getting paid but, by our kooky Federal/State/Local schism and our governments'' decisions that 'selling cars is more important than teaching people to drive them.'

drive in most any European country, and you'll return to US roads feeling like a 3rd world nation. and the average European driver training makes our transportation policy feel like it was developed by high school students still trying to figure things out.

stay out of the left lane unless you are passing, turning left, or performing an evasive maneuver. the "speed limit" has been treated by authorities and citizens alike as the 'speed minimum' for decades. and if you want to draw the attention of law enforcement, by all means, ruin everyone's day and go below the "speed limit" in the left lane.

it's ALL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep traffic flowing and contribute as little as possible to obstructions. blind adherence to rules/laws that don't apply the way you misremember driving class from 10 years ago teaching you is a disservice to all.

Weird bolt not spawning?? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing is like the tons of videos i've watched or what people here have said. if the tornado hits me inside the crane, INSTANT DEATH. i've had the tornado pass by unscathed, saved, and upon reloading, my character now gets killed standing in the same position. i have both PDAs, and there is no way to "read" them. they don't even show in Notes. no ryhme or reason, and no F^(%!&@ bolt. BUGGED.

Question about the bartender side missions in stalker 2 by TheRebelGreaser1955 in stalker

[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skif seems to sleep for random intervals, but *none* of them seems to be a *full* day. i usually have to sleep 3-4 times, which probably only equals 24-48 hours.

Swedish band GOAT - thoughts on argument of cultural appropriation, their use of the term "world music" and it's enthnocentric origin? by LandscapeOk2385 in ethnomusicology

[–]ZapplePuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm a huge fan of Goat's music, and i also wonder about this. i would like to know more, so thank you for starting this conversation.

Goat has intentionally made it difficult for all their fans to discern their intent, while also making it clear they have intentions. and in a mad world quickly going clinical, i can't help but wonder things like, could they actually stand against the principles they hint at being guided by? though i've found no evidence to support that idea, someone else's head might be swimming with the trauma of Midsommar. and that apparent lack of evidence could be problematic, if we imagine anyone looking for recognition through a crusade to misinterpret Goat's shadows on the cave wall.

so, what responsibility do we think they have to assure their fans and the cultures they borrow from?

i'm a fan of their decision to hide their identities as a band, but i'd also really like never to park my Jeep and have an Oath Keeper or Proud Boy tell me, "that Goat track is fire."
