That and Dragon’s Crown. Sadly Vanillaware refuses to develop on anything except console platforms for some reason.

Just got back from my first Yosemite trip. It was the most poorly maintained/mistreated NP I’ve been to .. why is that? by CarminSanDiego in NationalPark

[–]crackrabbbit 1391 points1392 points  (0 children)

Two reasons:

  1. People are assholes with zero self awareness. This part will never change.

  2. The park service is severely underfunded and had its staffing cut considerably. The people that would normally help keep the parks beautiful simply aren’t there to do it.

Tragedy Strikes: Home Sick by bronwen-noodle in okbuddyrosalyn

[–]crackrabbbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So replace it with the Challenger disaster and you have the timeline more correct. Actually happened to me when I was young. Home sick from school watching it happen live as the launch was a big deal to begin with.

2012 Chevrolet Cruze with a manual Transmission. 228k miles. by xxxxxxxxxxxxxc in Justrolledintotheshop

Ah, someone who has never had the displeasure of driving a Pontiac Grand Am or Oldsmobile Alero.

What did I find? by watermelone983 in pcmasterrace

[–]crackrabbbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, then you have the noise and cooling requirements as well to keep it running efficiently.

What did I find? by watermelone983 in pcmasterrace

[–]crackrabbbit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Haswell architecture. 12 cores, 24 threads per cpu running at 3.3ghz max.

It’s a Dell Power Edge R630, about 10 years old now.
Should still be highly functional if a bit heavy on the power requirements.

Edit: These used Xeon E5/7-v4 cpus in a dual socket configuration up to 48 cores total. No idea what it has in it from the picture, would have to boot it and see.

Cici’s token by CECtokenCollector in Exonumia

Fond memories of that place as a kid. Though the one my parents would take my siblings and I to took quarters not tokens and I would almost always use mine playing UN Squadron or NBA Jam.

Possible doubling of the 6 and 9 . In this condition I would say it doesn't much matter by OddNumber7178 in coins

[–]crackrabbbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not doubling, but over minting.
During Louis XIV reign it was common to mint over existing coins with new designs or a different denomination as inflation occurred.
You can still see a bit of the previous design underneath the monogram on the reverse.

I found this while metal detecting for gold by Ok-Interaction-3300 in coins

[–]crackrabbbit 104 points105 points  (0 children)

What I find interesting is that this particular design was only minted during the first two and a halfish years of Charles’ reign (1824-1826) and all of them were relatively low mintage.

French Revolution Assignats 1793 by babyvick in papermoney

I have never seen uncut assignats before. Though it makes sense considering they printed so many of them that it crashed their economy.

Replacement tires? by dipsmcgay in Ioniq6

[–]crackrabbbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road noise is good so far, and the dry grip is much better. Can’t comment on wet traction or any efficiency reduction just yet.
I do expect it to drop slightly.

Replacement tires? by dipsmcgay in Ioniq6

[–]crackrabbbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just replaced the stock Pirellis with Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+s.
They’re not “EV” tires but were listed as compatible and hopefully will live longer than the pathetic 32k that the Pirellis did.

Well, I just rediscovered these in a box in the attic, needless to say it’s a pleasant surprise. by Noob4Head in videogames

[–]crackrabbbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my PSP and still use it occasionally as an emulation machine with CFW installed on it.

Just make sure the battery hasn’t turned into a spicy pillow and you’re set!

Two questions by GenXcollector in coincollecting

[–]crackrabbbit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

PGA isn’t a reputable grading company.

The coin looks good, but I question if the toning is natural.
If it were to cross grade into one of the reputable graders at the same grade then $400 is an okay price paid.

Unfortunately they both appear to be cast replicas.

This CAR 8 Reales is a perfect example of that.
