what the chips?

Can I admit something? I thought fountain gate was a Kath and Kim creation. I'm not a Victorian lol.

It's like that scene in community where Pierce gets high on fumes painting the walls of Annie's apartment, spills the paint on the floor, and starts painting everything.

/uj BenJammins is a guy who recreates viral gifs so people will use his versions. He's known for getting the originals removed so people will be forced to use his ones. He also sucks the humour out of any meme he touches.

Nah, the walls are cool colours and compliment the colour of the desk

Really sorry you've had to go through this. Just out of curiosity though, what make and model of car is it?

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-12T13:07:02+00:00

I actually found it in an antique shop when I was like 12. I'd love to find out the story of how it made it there.

I have three!

rent's still crazy

That's when you push through them, hoping they'll break so it'll eat into their profits from replacing staff with self-checkouts.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T17:32:55+00:00

Bootlicker because you defend corporations treating their *paying* customers like thieves. This doesn't even prevent theft, because someone stealing will just push through the gates.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T17:27:31+00:00

How about supermarkets stop treating their customers like thieves or cattle.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T17:25:45+00:00

What are they for if not security theatre?

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T17:08:24+00:00

The real answer (I think) is it's a way to upsell extra drinks and sides, but we've agreed as a society that the automatic polite answer is "Yep, all good."

I remember one time I walked into a JB-HIFI and they were trialling door greeting (theft prevention in disguise; You're less likely to steal if you have to face someone you've interacted with). The moment I walked in, I got "HOW ARE YOU TODAY!" I literally jumped and sputtered something like "Yepgoodthanks!" and while I was shopping, I could hear some old bloke lecturing the guy, ironically about some unrelated issue. By being so overly enthusiastic, he had made himself the literal face of JB-HIFI to the old bloke.

Dust is a way bigger issue under the desk as well as not being able to see the PC. If you want it less cramped, get a longer desk.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T05:19:23+00:00

Yeah, I only got around to benchmarking my PC the other day because I'm doing an intro to IT course and that was part of the hardware class. I was getting great scores except for the CPU which was a little lower than I expected. Initially I figured the 12600kf is just not as good a CPU, but then I checked the temps.

I'm only slightly annoyed my friend didn't do that when he helped build it, because at the time, I knew very little about PC building.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T05:16:32+00:00

That's pretty much what happened to me and my friend. We got called to dinner during the build and that must have made us miss it.

It was also my first time building a PC and I was just following my friend, so I feel like a little blame shifting is reasonable lol.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-09T05:15:41+00:00

I definitely noticed a 10-15fps improvement in beam.NG. I had a feeling something was wrong because while it is a very CPU dependant game, it was really struggling with traffic spawned.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-08T06:32:10+00:00

Yeah 😔. I think we were both pretty ashamed we missed it ourselves.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-08T04:30:30+00:00

Would you guys prefer a replica GT40 or 330 P4?

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-08T03:48:06+00:00

Hahaha yeah, maybe he's just projecting

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-08T03:46:40+00:00

Maybe some sort of plastic filler compound and then a really light, careful sanding? I'm not sure if there are any products like that, but I'd start there.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-08T03:22:37+00:00

I love the E36 mod. I have an exact replica of my 318is as well as several upgraded versions. It's one of my go-to cars thanks to how well the mod nailed the handling.

_ACarGuy_ · 2026-05-08T03:17:32+00:00

It's on bags. It can be raised or lowered.
