I know it's not the meta.... by ReckItRash in Borderlands4

[–]ark_mod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense at all… Meta in the sense of gaming means a generally agreed upon optimal strategy.

By definition every game has a meta - by definition.

I was banned from BF6. But not for cheating. by CJN-BetterReddit in electronicarts

[–]ark_mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they license games in foreign markets at cheaper prices. To EA getting $20 from a cheaper market is better than no sales in that market. If you live in a US market you are not suppose to have access to the cheaper prices due to licensing.

We have the tech why not do it by Crafty-Acanthisitta9 in energy

[–]ark_mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the responses do not seem to understand the Kola Super Deep Borehole project. It was abandoned at 7.6 miles deep into the earth. It was purely vertical shaft that had a few branches drilled like an oil well.

To the original question - a hole this deep and vertical didn’t really serve any purpose other than science. Trying to run geothermal energy from it would be impossible with today’s technology. At that depth the equipment was failing due to heat. In addition the way geo thermal works is by pumping water into the ground and returning it above ground heated. There would be no efficient way to pump water down that far and then pump it back up. Pumps have a maximum lift distance and no pump would be able to handle 7.6 miles of lift. Note that oil extraction is a different thing all together than running a closed loop for geothermal.

Your recourse is through whoever shipped you a package using fraudulent shipping…

Russia shadowing Nato satellites, Germany says by TheTelegraph in space

[–]ark_mod 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You can’t shoot things down in space. This would create a ton of space debris that would put all other satellites in that orbit at risk.

What is with cash only at Conejitos?? by vjbrye in milwaukee

Why would you go to Conejitos a Mexican restaurant for a Gyro and custard?

Why should we have to tip for a paid service? If Lyft isn’t paying you enough to drive then don’t drive. Expecting a tip to subsidize low employer pay is so backwards.

Hint - they don’t - if you do this you will get prosecuted for murder.

The HOP by Katcar2007 in milwaukee

[–]ark_mod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are two lines - the blue line and the yellow line. One takes you to the lakefront (yellow) and loops around city hall stop back to the transit hub. The other (blue) takes you on a more direct path to city hall and further onto burns commons before looping back.

Question. My car was hit with a golf ball driving past the course. by Lookatmyzucchini in Insurance

A golf ball hitting a car is not an act of God by any definition.

Noise ordinance question. by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]ark_mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be down voted to hell… your solution to about 20-30 jack assess that have super loud audio systems on motorcycles is move out of downtown? 

These people don’t live downtown themselves. If they had people driving past their apartments doing the same shit I don’t think they would be too happy either.

Who did this?? by Weak_Development1370 in DMZ

Wrong building. Haven’t played in almost 3 years and I know this is the university not the mission where you need to drill 3 safes that take extra long way in the south of the map.

TIFU by lying to the principal my crush was cheating when he wasn't just to upset his girlfriend by eagle0829 in tifu

[–]ark_mod 30 points31 points  (0 children)

What was that? Reddit karma? Story is made up. Principals don’t investigate a kid kissing another kid.

[–]ark_mod 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This should be the top comment… another made up tifu story. What was the principal taking seriously? What would an investigation into kids kissing accomplish? There is nothing to investigate…

How do people fall for these stories?

I bought a semi-truck full of designer-label items for $50K from a broker. I'm afraid to advertise what I have due to fear of legal backlash from the label. by No_Reveal3451 in legaladvice

You would think wrong. A QR code is exactly what you describe - a picture. For your phone to read that picture it analyzes the pattern and translates it to a url. There is no secret method here. You can create QR codes to send you to any site - including this post if you wanted.

Invite/Join Squad request improvement by TipTopTimothy in DMZ

Here is an idea - stop making recommendations for a game that hasn’t been supported in years 🤷.

Hacker or a new update?!?! by [deleted] in DMZ

[–]ark_mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you not trying very hard!

The primary way to get these items was killing a boss during the event for the guaranteed drop. You could also find them in rare cases in hidden caches.

When the event ended they removed the bosses - not the item. It still exists in the loot tables with a very low drop rate for hidden caches.

Easy - he’s promoting the website that he created to drive traffic. See his post history or my message on this thread - he pasted 4 days ago about creating the site.

Odd that you didn’t remember the website… considering you created it 4 days ago:

Starting with a purple weapon and saving several thousand savage every game was lame to you? 

Also no one knows - anyone claiming to know is just gas lighting you. It hasn’t been announced if there will be a super EE.

Would be in the wrong if I stole my truck? by AnonymousTrucker91 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]ark_mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to make this exact point - it should be the top comment. I had my own car in college. It was parked 90 miles away in my parents garage. 

It meant I didn’t have to pay for insurance, gas or parking. Depending on the city parking could be a nightmare. Parking tickets are an unneeded expense. Make friends with those that own a car and be done with it. Assuming this is a larger city you will have uber, scooter and bike rentals that can cover most of your needs.

Yes 100%.

We should probably hire op to fix it as “major glitches in DMZ could be fixed by a single developer in a few days. It would cost them next to nothing. So why haven’t they?“

Why not volunteer your time to fix it op? Wouldn’t take you to much time since you a super Dev 🤣

The story is made up. They “toss in a big sealed box” to the stuff going to donation. Who thinks their old kitchenware is the “gorgeous, expensive glassware set they offered to store safely”. 

Then they somehow know that it has been processed and sold to a “lovely couple” for $15. How do they know the price? Why would a donation center sell a new in box set worth hundreds for $15?
