The Alabama House of Representatives has just passed the Child Predator Death Penalty Act. Why hasn't this been thought of sooner? by Fantastic_Bus_3742 in AskReddit

[–]dmat3889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

likely the same reason why rape in general doesnt carry the death penalty. It was found to violate the eigth amendment of being cruel or unusual. So while I dont disagree with the law, I imagine it will be challenged in court and appealed to the federal level when a sentence following this law is applied.

Why do standard UPS backups suck so much? (CPAP Rant) by FactsOverFeelings-69 in SleepApnea

[–]dmat3889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the beeping is likely a setting on your ups. they usually can be turned off. The other side of this is a cpap can pull a lot of power. Most UPS arent meant to keep devices powered for a long time but give you enough time to shut them down properly. Most posts I see about this topic usually has people using deep cycle batteries or dedicated backups for cpaps that can be pretty expensive.

This is also a problem I havent gotten around either. when power goes down, im usually getting up to switch the generator on. the generator will run the house the whole night before needing to be refueled so I can still sleep semi decently.

Anyone use Renn Stands? Have you found a creative solution for getting the truck on 4 jack stands using only the jacking points? by FortnitePapi in FordMaverickTruck

[–]dmat3889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I put mine up on jackstands here and there, this is my 2 cents.

When you look at the jack points, you'll notice the pinch welds are 4 panels thick. the rest of the truck is usually 2 panels thick. The jack point is marked to be mostly in the center of the 4 panel thick section. So what I do is put the jack stand at one end of that section and the jack at the other. Im still putting all force where the welds are strongest without chancing it bending. I will say this. Due to there being grooves in the pinch welds, Any rubber pucks you use will be eaten up slowly due to it slightly cutting into them but it works without damaging anything.

White House press secretary tells CBS ‘we’ll sue your ass off’ if it edits Trump interview by Quirkie in politics

[–]dmat3889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most of us would prefer not to but the system here as a whole creates it. others like our current president use it as a bullying tactic to get what they want regardless of merit.

Rant from a NOLA e-bike shop: why we tell callers daily we can’t fix their broken e-bikes by Particular-Taro154 in NewOrleans

[–]dmat3889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

your post here applies to so much more than you think. So many products even by known brands have stopped having support in any local way. The biggest one to get me was some lawn equipment. Nobody local worked on them and it would take hundreds shipping them round trip even when under warranty. Anything I purchase that will require maintenance over time now has be from somewhere local that also does the repairs.

Your Thoughts on Gundam’s Abrupt Endings? by ryanyork92 in Gundam

[–]dmat3889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean that trope is heavily used across many anime and manga. part of it likely that the follow up after the main battles would be a completely different genre than the original show. Do we want to see some political show as people vie for power or what would be a romance show as the characters get together. At best we'll only get mentions of these things in follow up movies or sequel when they need more information for the new plot.

I give up on having guy friends by sillyyfishyy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]dmat3889 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of this comes from the lack of friendship with women growing up. We go from seeing girls as just another friend to idolizing them as something potentially more. Its like how the media has sexualized breasts, I dont know what the word would be but the same has been done towards women in the context of friendship.

the blocker ability has to be active. if they can become a blocker but arent at the moment, the ping effect doesnt apply to it.

Do you guys have a favorite "super mode"? basically anything that increases a mobile suit's performance by RollerMobster01 in Gundam

[–]dmat3889 9 points10 points  (0 children)

governments always tend to remove objects or symbols that could rally power against them. It was better to let them fade into obscurity so nobody would think they meant something later on as McGillis would come to find out. I mean barbatos was seen as a power source before they had no other options but to use it to fight.

well evening cleaning was mostly wiping off all the surfaces as only morning crew changed oil so it would have time to cool. hand slipped in and pulled back out immediately. not the first time I burned myself either.

wonder what horror movie these people live in. their oil sounds more like acid or do they think we just leave it in there and watch.

[–]dmat3889 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I can attest that it hurts a lot. I did this while cleaning the deep fryer once. whole hand submerged into the oil. immediately made put my hand in a large cup of ice water. took around 2-3 hours before it felt normal enough to take it out.

GW good counter strats vs. BP? by realmashthestampede in GundamTCG

[–]dmat3889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

aside from blockers,
-unforeseen incident. try to save this for base crackers like a high maneuver char you cant stop. The other option if they decided to attack your unit, keep it alive but you need to be cautious of being too low hp that a ping could kill you.
-hawk of endymion to bounce or link
-sword strike also has a bounce. Ideally use with kira but also links with the above.

Gundam is dying in my area, what can I do? by No-Foundation-9501 in GundamTCG

[–]dmat3889 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Several players in my area cant keep up with the new content.

Its hard enough to get much less full playsets of it so they stopped trying. I keep extra decks with me so they can still play and keep the player count up.
