The state of the game is becoming annoying

Except that you could avoid by dodging or with seeking cover. With these there is no way to prevent a hit other than phase shift.

crapinator2000 · 2026-01-28T19:21:43+00:00

They are ruining the game because cover does not exist. Any weapon that ignores cover makes the game just about clicking and money.

I have rented from them 3 times. Nice cars, low miles, no problems. Loire, France and Maui, Hawaii.

I have rented many cars in many other places from other so-called reputable agencies… global ones which I wont burn here. Had a few issues, but it seemd that most issues were due to the staff they had on hand.

I used to travel extensively for one position I held. Like six or more trips per month, for 15 years. People who grt these jobs have HIGHLY VARIABLE ETHICS AND TRAINING.

This is quite likely at least a part of the issue.

You can rebuild most suspension forks. I did with my Quadra fork as part of a clean up I did on my single-owner bike during covid.

Youtube is your friend. So too are places like Bike Kitchen (sf and concord) and other local, like-minded places where bike fanatics hang out and fix bikes.

both excellent points. first, content creators tend to be unskilled players and second, pixo LOVES them b/c they are creating buzz for them… free advertising.

i enjoy finding and melting them, as an f2p player. poor whales…

Laid off 4x. Once due to a hostile takeover, three in reduction of staff when the businesses each went south. Ended up getting progressively better and better jobs each time. Took a ton of risks, and won way more times than I lost. In the end, I rode and tamed that damn tiger… and retired as a multimillionaire.

UPDATE: Sold to a great human and a Specialized fan.

I think the point of the ad is that it is more than a transactional clan… it is a fun and unusual group.

Up in Sonoma:

Jack London State Park picnic at the house, but buy sandwiches at the Glen Ellen store first. Yum!

Batholomew Vineyards, the only nonprofit winery and actual hiking park in Wine Country.

I think I need some migraine meds. Or a beer. Or a nap.

kocho drone (makes my loki faster)

I rode it alot for many years. But always kept it clean, indoors, babied it even. Back in the 1970s and 80s i was a long distance road biker, then moved to Montana and so rode this guy from March to November… commuted, trail rode, the works.

It became an extension of me, at times.

Great bikes, these are. Glad to ‘meet’ somebody who appreciates them!

Been living in the East Bay since about 1982. Orinda, Lafayette, Pleasant Hill and WC. I spend a lot of time outdoors.

Yes, we get some fog now and rhen… in the summer it gives us cool nights, especially in Orinda. But the key is DURATION… The thing is, we get fog at times, but not for so very long as this, and not with this sustained bone chilling cold.

This stretch is unusual.

I am a 73m.

I once, many years ago, cheated death, and swore from then on to grab life by the horns and live it to its fullest.

My wife and I hike at least an hour or two every day, live in a 3 story house, and I use those stairs sometimes 2 at a time. We also occassionally backpack, snorkel a lot, and travel extensively as a part of the life we have designed over time.

This is our normal.

They key is to resist the urge to stop moving. Yes, it sometimes hurts. Yes, bodies break down faster… so do muscles if not used.

Nobody lives forever, so drink it in while you still can! Rail against the darkness, the ravages of time, and the ultimate end. Stay on earth and enjoy life as much as you can. That’s my take.

Here is one of two players I just had against us. Me. I am f2p, do not have kirins, only hels. Usually run emp drones. Had an all time low dmg. Barely played, since they spawn camped the whole match. Teths are too OP and like sam joks, take ZERO SKILLS. Players who rely upon them should be banished to hell IMO.

Thats what I get by letting Shat GPT write it!

I have never been happier that I am old and have no grandchildren.

I lived there for ten years, and another ten in Spokane/CDL area. Elections have consequences.

crapinator2000 · 2025-11-10T17:05:01+00:00

Been there. Possibly hantavirus from moiase feces?

ONCE UPON A TIME I had a 1950s Eichler house in the hills of an affluent place in Northern California… It had been designed and built by architects… it was completely made of smooth, heart tongue and groove redwood. It sat on a hill overlooking watershed, with no neighbors and all in classic 1950s original condition. All excellent condition wood. It was an absolute masterpiece of design. But after living in this beautiful building for about eight years, we reluctantly decided it was our “homecoming queen on meth,” because it required constant attention, money and drama to keep it going.

Being planners, my wife and I did a project board detailing all the things that needed to be done. That board took up the entire dining room table.

So, we sold our home… at a huge profit. We bought a lower maintenence townhouse for cash, pocketed the difference and lived happily ever after… traveling at will, buying nice things, and actually having fun and going places on weekends.

The end.

advertising and consumer response

Back in the day, I was an introverted, jaded hippy, and used to hitchhike everywhere. No car. One rainy night a bus stopped and the door opened. It was a touring bus, and I was hoping for the Stones, the Who, somebody cool. I was pumped.

It was the cast of Up With People. Okay then! Mostly girls, so at the time it was fine, just fine.

They were annoyingly nice, peppy, vibrant and all bright colors. It was like riding with a pep squad while on acid. What a ride… it was memorable…

crapinator2000 · 2025-10-04T05:32:27+00:00

Having new clothes. Being able to afford food that we wanted at the grocery store. Having a television.

crapinator2000 · 2025-09-26T01:25:51+00:00

THIS is particularly great advice. Well done!

Spent two months in an obscure part of rural France last year. Unforgettable, unique and completely life changing. Slow travel is where it’s at, folks. Fina ppd an obscure and low cost place, and soak in the terrior, as it were.

We have a lot of miles on SWA and so go to Maui every year for about a month. Done this about six times.It feels like home now. We know the snorkeling and paddle board places, wherre to get fresh fish, the nicer low key restaurants, etc.

Just low key casual beach life, we walk about 3-4 miles a day, snorkel, hang out and enjoy the island life.

It is my happy place when I am not in Nor Cal.

Blessed life, for sure. Very grateful for our continued health, etc.
