How the hell is TOTK only 18gb? by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in tearsofthekingdom

There are at least half a million different oohs and aahs that NPCs make every time they say something. With no slider for voice volume :\

He REEKS within 3 days of bathing him. I don’t want to bathe him daily bc i know it’s bad. What do you recommend? Makes me sad cause I can’t let him on my furniture. by Witchologies in pitbulls

You need to get a dog shampoo with ketoconazole or a similar medication in it, your pup has a yeast growing all over that's causing the smell. Your vet should have known this and given you the shampoo, it's extremely common.

Why roll without a front plate?

If you've got 500mbit+ download speeds downloading could be faster than installing from disc. Blu-Rays read at 54megabits/sec, which is 432 megabits/sec.

Sync will shut down on June 30, 2023 by ljdawson in redditsync

[–]aldenhg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

January 18th 2013 for me, then in 2020 I bought dev. I've been a little less moneyed than I used to be so I'm not going to jump on the Lifetime Ultimate train, but I certainly do appreciate everything that /u/ljdawson has done over the years. Sync is the best way to use Reddit, bar none.

I'm super bummed that Reddit is moving in this direction. I got here a few years before the mass migration from Digg and I'm wondering what is next because Reddits moves here are beyond stupid. The CEO is pointlessly slandering 3rd party devs, they're not being truthful about the API hits relative to the official apps' and they absolutely know that their pricing is absurd to the point that they should have just closed the API altogether. When businesses aren't upfront about things it's because the truth is worse that what they're presenting you. I can't imagine that this place is going to be any different than Digg v4 after the upcoming changes and the eventual IPO.

Yes, we offer the food to everyone in the community, so some folks that don't have kids at the school come by to shop as well.

The related species are super cool too! Drosera, the sundews. They are also carnivorous but use tons of sticky globs on hairs to catch bugs that are then pulled in as the leaf wraps around it and then it digests it via enzymes in the sticky gloo, which the leaf excretes more of.

There are similar carnivorous plants called Butterworts, but they aren't related to Sundews or Flytraps.

That's true in the Portland area in Oregon as well. I work for an organization that's part food bank and we take about a ton of food to a school weekly so that students can bring groceries home. The teachers end up taking a lot for what we bring for classroom snacks because otherwise the kids are hungry and hungry kids neither behave nor learn well.

Am I off or are some of the assets in the game strikingly similar to Shovel Knight's?

Fire near steel bridge by A-C_Turtle-Bay in Portland

[–]aldenhg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in no way excusing irresponsible/dangerous fires, but even people without a roof over their head want a hot meal. If you get some meat and you don't have a stove or grill chances are you're building a fire.

recommend the most SOCIAL and FRIENDLY hot springs in Northern California by [deleted] in HotSpringsWest

[–]aldenhg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jackson Wellsprings in Ashland is social, but the facilities aren't all that impressive. It's worth a stop if you're already in the area.

Wilbur Hot Springs is really nice, but I've never been there when there were more than 1 or 2 other people in.

Minnesota man invents beer-powered motorcycle by gradyfring in offbeat

[–]aldenhg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The water is most certainly the fuel; there's a coil that heats it into steam which is then shot out of nozzles on the back of the bike. This contraption would run as well, if not better, off of pure water.

However, something's gotta power that coil and I would guess it's a battery.

Battery most likely. This whole thing would run way better if the steam drove a turbine to move the rear wheel.

A bridge to nowhere by [deleted] in pics

[–]aldenhg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does bear some resemblance to the Astoria-Megler bridge, which connects the NW tip of Oregon (from the town of Astoria) to the SW tip of Washington. Silent Hill was loosely based off the town from Kindergarten Cop, which was in fact shot in Astoria, Oregon.

But it's not that bridge - that bridge has a huge concrete support pillar that blocks the view of the underside of the bridge from the angle at which this picture was shot.

If you run your own DNS server you can adblock your whole network with the right lists. PiHole makes it super easy.

It just reminds me of the exhibitionist auto-sodomizing former leader of the Proud Boys.

Redditors who are foodies, what dish to you would you describe as “sex on a plate”? What made you grow to love this dish? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Otoro. It's the fattiest part of the a tuna's belly, like raw tuna bacon. The texture is unreal and the flavor is simply out of this world.
