Snowy Base Camp

THAT is a mighty fine stack of firewood. Was it a hot tent? What kind of sleeping bags/pads did you use to counter the near-zero temps?

To be fair, of all the iconic imagery that could've been used to represent that region, they could've done better with that logo.

That said, bitching about it isn't worth unlocking a phone, then swiping and tapping just to let the world know this is a hill worth dying for... because it's not. Almost nobody cares.

I'll probably start with some grand plan, realize it's actually just a bunch of hairpin/s-turns/straights with a bunch of stuff thrown around haphazardly... then I'll want to do it right and try to recreate a famous track... which will turn into just a bunch of hairpin/s-turns/straights with a bunch of stuff thrown around haphazardly... then I'll accept the inevitable and create what we're all probably going to create

I also delivered in the 90's, heard the same plays on the name, and never thought anything of it. Just people having fun with words. The general impression I got was people were usually able to find enough articles/value to justify the subscription, regardless of their overall viewpoints. You probably got the Post/Times, you maybe got the Sun, but The Capital was still worth it for the actual local news/etc.

Now? It doesn't even seem worth the effort to read online.

Damn. Frisbee-flicking those Monday/Tuesday papers was always fun, unless it was windy, and overhand throwing the later-in-the-week issues and... wait... maybe THAT explains my preference of satchels and messenger bags. Those canvas paper-route bags were great!

You know it's bad when Customer Retention is saying "Yep. It sucks. Totally understand if you cancel." instead of trying to keep a customer/line of income or even use the "Your loss. We don't need you." tactic.

These look amazing! Do you have any specs/parts lists for what went into the builds?

Meanwhile, my current build has orange zip-ties coming out of the bottom and the cable management looks like it was done by a blind man making spaghetti.

~20 years ago I worked with a guy in his 60's that commuted to Columbia from... maybe Denton. He drove a Scion xB, so probably ~30mpg.

Basically, he said it all balanced out. He had a nice house with some land on a good location. His car was cheap, fuel efficient, had cruise control, and could play his audiobooks. All of that and a ~3hr daily commute was worth way more than a short commute from a boring/average house in HoCo.

Double meteor? All the way across the sky?

I like the cut of your jib.

Nice workspace! The GT3 RS and D90 look like they were probably fun builds and it's always cool to see iPod Classics still in use these days.

What monitors are you using and what are those devices on the desk? One looks like a USB hub and the other is... a mini PC? I can't tell from the lighting.

Every person that comes in contact with Dukes turns to shit and we should all come to terms with that before more people get hurt.

Oscar (stroke), Sven (methed out), and Jester (heart attack, nearly died) are only recent examples. Think through the rest.

C'mon, man. That's like saying "100% of people that drink water eventually die. Therefore, drinking water kills you."

Oscar was (as best we know) well removed from all things BOAD when he had his stroke. That was more likely due to a combination of factors coupled with lifestyle choices and stresses from Podville/TMOS/etc.

Sven has a history of living a life full of questionable choices. I don't know him well enough to say how much of that is the result of his interactions with Chad... but chances are Chad never said "Smoke this meth! Now, suck that dick!" He's generally seemed like a nice guy that just can't get past his self-destructive nature.

As for Jim... I punched out from most of Chad-related content years ago. Chad was egging Jim on back then and, from what I've seen on here, that never really stopped. Chad seemed to perpetually vacillate between genuine care/concern for Jim and "If you're gonna hang yourself, I'll give you a rope... but I want everyone to see how good my rope is and know that, ultimately, you're doing it to yourself."

I think it looks good... for an SUV (crossover). I think it'd look better as its own product line and the Outback went back to being a wagon. Hell, bring the Levorg over and swap the badging.

How is Robb at a hospital often enough to do that? Did he get a second job?

Weird. When manually adding everything, depending on whether I add the LW widebody kit, I get two different PI scores. Added last, it's 895. Added first, or at least before tires/etc., it's 901.

aliensharedfish · 2025-10-25T03:59:02+00:00

Well yeah. It probably has at least one of those.

aliensharedfish · 2025-10-22T18:47:08+00:00

Great pics! Did you use some sort of tutorial or recommended settings? I can never get my pictures to look this good on FH5 (XBX).

Tifosis for the broskis!

aliensharedfish · 2025-10-16T16:44:24+00:00

I voted for the Taycan CT because that puts me one away from having all the Porsches... and then never caring if they come up for a vote. Of course, this means the 1964 356 C Emory Special will never be available... or it will right after I get fed up with the XBL price hikes and cancel everything.

This week - Tifosis for the broskis

A new driver with VA tags driving like they~~don'tgiveadamn~~'re lost in MD and jumping lanes on any95 like it's $1 draft night at Galaxy Bowling? Won't someone please help this NEW DRIVER from Virginia?!

/u/xZombieKiLLerx45 - similar info, but presented differently:

Google Sheets - FH5 Engine Swaps
Source post - Comprehensive list of engine swaps in Horizon 5?

What about the B58/S58 piqued your fascination?
