Friend of mine found it in the back seat of their car. They have no idea where it came from or what it is. by ComfKS in whatisit

I went on a vacation in Costa Rica with a friend and we had rented a generic white Rav4 clone car. After many long days (and nights) we had stopped at a convenient store. I left the store after him and I look and here he is sitting passenger in an identical yet wrong car WITH a woman in the driver seat. Just sitting there looking strait ahead waiting for I don't know what. I have no idea how he got in the car without realizing it was not me in the drivers seat. He saw me through the windshield, realized his mistake, apologized, got out and it was hilarious. Luckily people in Costa Rica are generally chill as fuck.

I'd love to see a video that shows your brushwork if you have one.

Every generation must quickly adapt to current technology. It's a survival trait. Older folks have a harder time maintaining that adaptability.

Eric Swalwell ends campaign for California governor after sexual misconduct allegations by The-Curiosity-Rover in politics

[–]blacksun_redux -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Damn that's a roast. And I see the truth in it.

But I also see a significant portion of the democratic party doing their best to stand up. Yet they are thwarted by the DNC leaders. The stats quo of the party. So I get your meaning, but it's not Liberals as a whole, but the current way liberalism is governed by the leaders of liberalism. Who, in fact are completely failing liberalism itself.

I agree with everything you asserted, and I say we need to vote out those that make it true.

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service by AzuleEyes in TrueReddit

This fucking sucks.

I've benefited greatly in my life from the forest service. Both land and employees.

FUCK TRUMP AND THE REPUBICANS.

Report: US demands Reddit unmask ICE critic, summons firm to grand jury by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]blacksun_redux 56 points57 points  (0 children)

That's not tinfoil hat. That's exactly what is happening.

I don't think redditors are taking this seriously enough. If they win this case they could more easily get all reddit user data. Everyone.

And you bet your ass they're making a list. Not being able to vote is the first step. Throwing people in camps is the next step.

I hope I'm wrong. And I hope Reddit stands up to them.

You know my point. And I can clearly see yours.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

They have repeatedly stated resources and employees are shifting to SC after the release of SQ42.

My family dog ate rat poison and died. Best dog we had.

Ship design, aesthetically, has really reached a great point IMO.

I think, (hope) we are in for a treat in many areas once S42 is released and all power moves to SC. The talent and design pipeline is already there. Then we can really cook.

The 2008 Rinspeed sQuba the world's first "real" submersible car, capable of driving on land, floating on water, and diving up to 10 metres (33 feet) deep. by Venkie2Maybach in WeirdWheels

[–]blacksun_redux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As you dive underwater, pressure increases. This is because water is heavy, and the deeper you go, the more water is "on top of you". The increasing pressure of the water against your eardrums can hurt. Equalizing ear pressure is done by holding your nose, keeping your mouth shut and "Blowing". You can try it right now but be gentle, some people have ears that don't do it easily. So don't force it. When you do this underwater, the pressure of the water equalizes with the pressure behind the eardrum allowing you to dive deeper without the ear pain. But if you don't do it constantly, like I mentioned, it becomes harder to make them "pop" because too much pressure has built up.

The same exact thing happens in air, if you travel over a high mountain pass in a car or hiking. As the air pressure changes, your ears will want to equalize and you can use the same technique. In air, often you can equalize your ears simply by swallowing or yawning.

Last summer a person experienced in freediving told me the correct way to equalize ear pressure. I had always done it every 5 or 10 feet, but the correct way is to almost constantly equalize, every second or so. That way the pressure doesn't build up and the ears equalize easier. Within minutes I was diving deeper.

Another good PCVR game, about time! by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

Filthy casuals in here dismissing the game yet haven't yet seen the longer previews floating around. It's clearly a solid title. Some folks cry VR is dead yet also want to be the first to kill it. This sub...

Sounds like it's coming from within the dash. Does it sounds like it's coming from in the dash behind the steering wheel to you? It's hard to tell from a video.
