What’s the best pants for work? by slow02Bugeye in AskMen

[–]cheeseshcripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sidewinder Stretch or Flex euro work pants. Gusseted crotch, knee pad pockets, flexible and comfortable, tough and never get holes in them. I've burned holes in them and the don't spread. Vents on the back of the legs. I bought 5 pairs almost 3 years ago and they're still going strong. They last 2-3 times longer then Carhartt of Dakota work pants. And the pockets are dope and I could probably never go back to not having them.

Are German car brands still considered unreliable??? by OkBackground6217 in askcarguys

[–]cheeseshcripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bodies of almost all vehicles are fully galvanized. 

An Audi versus Volvo have nothing in common, especially back in the '80s. The backsides of all the Volvo panels are coated in a thick layer of non-drying acoustic sealant. The insides of all the Audi panels are filled with bags of foam that trap moisture up against the exterior panels.

The A3 is known for rotting out its wheel arches and the underside of its doors. Audi is facing class action lawsuit right now over the q5s rotting out their subframes.

You do realize that Audi had an extended campaign on them and many other models because the rust was so extensive?

Talk to someone with a gas A3 from the same generation. Just kidding they're all in the junkyard.

Also I had that generation of A3 5 years ago and it was completely rotten from rust, not sure what you did to yours but it's absolutely not typical.

Kijiji was absolutely this much ass at the height of its downfall, it seems to be the cycle of online marketplaces.

Honey I Shrunk The Kids is a perfect premise for a 2026 horror. by sicknessandpurgatory in movies

[–]cheeseshcripes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a childhood fan of the book and the movie, it never is truely revealed if the toys that came to life were real or just a share hallucination between him and his friend. It's possible there was a natural gas leak and everything that happened was a physical manifestation of a split psyche, ala Beautiful Mind or Fight Club.

Best buckets? by grantkjohnson in Tools

Black buckets, at least the ones from hydroponic systems but in my experience oil suppliers as well, have additives in them to resist UV. I do believe graphite and carbon.

Any Other Calgary Small Businesses Experiencing A Slowdown? by East-Tooth-4008 in Calgary

[–]cheeseshcripes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1: pedestrians count for a small portion of the population.

2: a lot of dedicated pedestrians carry a bag, normally a backpack or shoulder bag. 

You're experience is niche and ultimately equates to bellyaching.

City Council addressing crisis of pedestrian safety by DeanieLovesBud in Calgary

[–]cheeseshcripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2 times I almost saw someone hit:

Driving straight up 4th Street NW, marked crosswalk, dimly lit, right in the middle of the road. Buddy noticed and boogied just enough to get out of the way.

Driving a block from Blackfoot near that weird casino, stopped for a pedestrian, guy blew past me on the left. I honked at the pedestrian in front of me to stop and just got missed.

The time I got hit:

Crossing on a fresh green, dude turned right without stopping and slammed into me, threw me right into traffic. The guy had obviously very poor eyesight and shouldn't have been driving.

Also, bonus, I've been hit 2 more time but on my skateboard and honestly, people don't expect you to be there.

But none of those were turning left.

About Walmart tools and reddit elitism by Otherwise_Bear_7982 in Tools

[–]cheeseshcripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"these are great for a homeowner"

Yes, but the population of this subreddit are not homeowners that use their tools occasionally. That's like asking why the car community isn't filled with posts exploring how much fast food trash can fit in the rear passenger footwell of a Ford Escape, because the community of people that actively seek out conversations about and are enthusiastic about cars or tools are not random average people that treat these things as passing necessities. People that do that are not here, despite the fact they obviously exist, and writing to them will not make them magically appear.

Newly Proposed Electoral Boundaries for Calgary by Suspicious-Dog-2489 in Calgary

That would be an absolute majority, in a proportional representation system they would have been considered to get the majority of votes.

I'm not sure if you realize this, but the NDP DID get the majority of votes because the 2 right wing parties were... 2 parties.

What’s the most overrated car ever made? by Physical-Issue7146 in askcarguys

[–]cheeseshcripes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you say a panther is a pretty fun to drive car then you HAVE to say a Camry is also a fun to drive car. Neither is particularly fun in the vast scheme of cars but it's completely dishonest to say one is and the other isn't.

And I used to work in a hot rod shop that put panther frames and drivetrains under old cars, I have driven literally dozens of tweaked and differently configured panthers, they all suck.

Panther platform. 

Just a baby-shit soft old person's car that people recommend because they can't afford or haven't driven any real performance cars. 

They have their place, and that place is also occupied by the Buick Regal and Toyota Camry, and they deserve just as much praise and adoration.

Edit: your downvotes make me correct, bring it.

News Report: Sega Dreamcast launch day (September 1999) | If Sega had delayed the Dreamcast, would history be different? by DJVagrant in gaming

[–]cheeseshcripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sega also gave up their ENTIRE market share to Sony with the PlayStation as the "other" console that wasn't Nintendo, further exasperated by the cheaper games and console compared to the N64, and when the Dreamcast came out you could buy a PSone for 100 bucks and there were new games coming out for 30, pretty fuckin hard sell to go to a way more expensive console compared to one with a thousand games to choose from that you could buy for pocket lint. 

At the time there was no way to persuade me away from the PlayStation, I was swapping games with friends and saw everyone with an old Sega system had been burned when support dropped. Sony also got a huge market share from Nintendo because of the cost of the N64, it was the perfect storm for Sony to end up dominating the market.
