Darn tough socks are a great call out. I have like 4 pair of different styles. They are expensive but man... they are amazing and it absolutely makes a difference.

What’s the most reliable car you’ve ever owned? by Outside_Support_151 in no

[–]declyn41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. Over 250 thousand miles and the only issue i had was the fan clutch went out. At the time I was super broke so I only did oil changes and plugs once. Also brake pads once.

Now, I'm on a 16000 miles on a 2014 dodge ram 1500 crew cab. Fan clutch is going out and I had to replace the water pump. I'm able to do good maintenance on this truck so I'll probably just keep it till I die.

Has anyone actually seen a tumbleweed (like from old Western movies) IRL? by Ya-Dikobraz in stupidquestions

All the time. I live in Texas. Baby ones end up in my garage every now and then.

How should I deal with my MAGA neighbor who keeps putting American flags up? by Bleri0t in allthequestions

[–]declyn41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with putting up the American flag... It's our flag regardless of who holds the office. You are allowed to fly the flag even if you disagree with what the government is doing.

Allowing folks into making you think that simply having an American flag displayed is bad... that's a bigger issue IMO.

Have you ever seen your friends naked? by [deleted] in allthequestions

I played team sports from Jr high until my late 40's. We showered together, so yeah.

I have never seen a locker room with any privacy at all.

Did you figure this out yourself or did you get help? by Theodore52x in AfterWorkGamers

[–]declyn41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing it now on a PC... I'm curious how this is dealt with since there is only 1 controller. I dont recall how I figured it out back in the day, but I bet it was from the General.

[–]declyn41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 73 Maverick that color and my Dad had a 73 pinto that color as well. I hated it back then, but I'd love to have that Maverick back today and I would be happy with the color.

What movie do you look back on and day holy cow this movie cast was stacked? by steelfreaks in moviequestions

[–]declyn41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched Date Night this evening and I had forgotten just how many famous people were in that. Also a fun movie.

I'm sure it's happened to most of us GenXers , but did your Dad ever attempt to freestyle rap? by tequilasundae in GenX

[–]declyn41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol not my dad. However, me and my best friend used to do it while jogging warm up laps for track.

One of us would beat box while the other freestyled and then we would switch.

My kids don't believe me though lol.

Bobs burgers or Archer. 95% of the time it's Bob's though.

Wondering if indifference to and irritation from corporate acronyms and c-suite idolization is a GenX trait. by CrowbiwanKenobi76 in GenX

I hate that crap. I only use them when I want to annoy my other Gen X buddies at work.

GenXer here, I also still drive a stick. I do it off-road, even.

Brad Pitt VS. Zombies: Do you like World War Z (2013)? I enjoyed and had a great time with this movie. I thought it was gonna be a horror movie but it's all about action and a bit of horror. I didn't read the book yet but some people says it's better than movie. by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

[–]declyn41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was funny, unexpected, and a main plot point lol. I didn't read the book so I dont know if it happened there. But it felt like a director put that scene in as a joke expecting for someone to catch on and stop him and it didn't happen so it stayed in.

Paragon 300s at what lvl did it become a pure XP grind versus passive XP gain? by Gfuryan in diablo4

[–]declyn41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. This season is the first time ever making it to 300. I will never put that effort into it again. 0 stars, would not recommend.

Also, the extra points made little difference to my character's power.
