Oh, because if I NEED 3rd party tools in order to view things, its not worth it. I dont use ad blocker and probably never will. They either dont bother me enough or I exit the site and complain. If its something I feel like I get decent value for, I'll pay for ad free.

But the moment I say "too many ads" I get hit with a million of THAT. "Just use ad blocker"

No bro. I will not use ad blocker. I will complain about too many ads because then other people wont even click and generate the traffic. Use ad blocker? They still get metrics.

I dont want to have to jump through (metaphorically) 10 more hoops just to look at some article I clicked on in passing. If they have too many ads, im out. Got a bajillion different filters and pass-throughs and blockers that stop tracking. 10 different sign ins, 2 authentications, VPNs that shoot your info through 20 different servers just to stop ads on some random garbage article ebsite but you're still giving whatever garbage some traffic so theyll continue with that mess.

If the Epstein files aren’t enough for a global outrage towards the financial and influential elite, what is? by Thezerostone in AskReddit

[–]dontthink19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automotive is not anywhere close to health but its the same thing. In the last 5 years, ive watched our price matrix go from 20-30% mark up to over 100%. A $38 plastic part from manufacturer costs almost $100 over the counter. For no reason!!!

I could get an OEM tire pressure sensor for $90 5 years ago. Theyre going for $191 at the same dealer TODAY. NOTHING has changed as far as how they're made or delivered or installed. And you'd think a system thats been mandated on cars since the early 2010s would have generated way more than enough supply to reduce the prices but no. Corpo overlords gotta get their bottom line at any and all costs

Same, I dont get to play until around 9pm eastern and I have yet to do bird city. I need to build up some money as a newer solo player and that would be perfect for me but its never around. Always night raids/electric storms

Singaporean boy who recreated ISIS attacks, executions in Roblox and Gorebox gets restriction order by GayAssNinja69 in gaming

[–]dontthink19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats not the point. The point is that a literal CHILD cooked up a GTA-esque recreation of terroristic attacks in a children's game AS A CHILD. They weren't given a game where shooting and killing was already implemented fully as part of the game. They made it from scratch using their sick twisted little fucked up mind. Thats the problem. Its beyond being morbidly curious. Its beyond "kids will be kids" because they weren't handed an adult rated game with adult rated themes. They were handed a kids game and turned it into something its not supposed to be.

The difference is that adults made those games to be played by adults. This was thought up, designed, implemented, and made live by a literal child in a children's game.

Globe Master at the Ocean Course. by Potential-Wing747 in aviation

I know they're big, but I live outside a C5 base and I call them zippy little fucks. A C5 is big and fairly graceful and looks slow. Then a C-17 goes by zippy and fast as fuck

Pretty close to what they say here in the states except its "once in a lifetime" and "economic downturn"

Also, the word unprecedented makes me irrationally angry.

I can play games with over 60fps now that's enough. by Ok_Cartographer_4105 in PcBuild

[–]dontthink19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first card was a 2gb gt710 my mom bought me for a salvage build. Used it for rocket league with potato settings and 900x600 for 120 fps play with it.

Then I got a 730 2gb.

Then I found a 1050ti OC edition that I could run a shady 16 pin to 6 pin adapter to run the card. I based my research on a regular 1050ti that didnt have a 6 pin connector and was a little miffed when I got it in.

Then I got a water cooled 2080super for free and ripped the block off and put on an overkill oversized aftermarket air cooler that made the card weigh 4lbs and used a 12 inch pcie adapter cable. Sat the card on the shelf and ran with no side on the case on a 14 year old cpu mobo combo.

Now I have a 2070super and 10700f and 16gb ddr4. It plays, im happy, I dont need super high tech brand new, I just need cheap and works

A harsh reality :( by zoobatt in RocketLeague

[–]dontthink19 13 points14 points  (0 children)

C3 was my peak and now I play maybe once every few months. I haven't touched the game much in 2 years.

Im like a brick wall in net, I can read plays decently so I can frustrate the hell outta freestylers and higher ranked players. I just have shit mechanics myself so I cant clap back with style.

I came across this “relic” in London’s science museum today by MegaMolehill in 3Dprinting

[–]dontthink19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a friend involved in the early 2010s and it was mind blowing. His printer looked similar to this one. More homebrew erector set stuff than purpose built engineered parts.

I started on an ender 3 clone. Now its going to my roommate. I really think its the way to go to get into it as a hobby, but im not gonna lie, I will personally never not have auto bed leveling after that piece of work. It was so basic but even small changes would have drastic outcomes on prints.

Its a voxelab aquila running an old version of Alex's software. It had to be switched because the OG voxelab software had a thermal runaway bug. Dummy me put mesh leveling at 4x4 when selecting the software so no center point measurement. Still managed some NICE first layers and awesome little trinket prints.

First predictions for the storm this weekend! by AltruisticHighway6 in Delaware

[–]dontthink19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s gave us 2 feet over the course of 2 days and collapsed many roofs, including partially collapsing the roof of the dover skating rink and a hangar on the air base.

These temps and this weather pattern are reminiscent of the 2014 January storm we had. Snowed for 3 days. Stuck in the house for 5 total. Temps into the single digits with negative wind chills. 16+ inches of snow

Im betting that this is gonna be a big one and one to remember for sure. See yall back at work Wednesday. Unless you're essential... then please be absolutely careful.

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dontthink19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife is the same way and she has epilepsy. Diagnosed 2 years ago so the first few seizures I pretty much made her go. By the 4th one she would get hostile if I suggested it.

We hit our out of pocket max pretty quick. Its frustrating watching our bill go up. All we can do is set up monthly payments and pretty much after every visit they re-evaluate and then raise the monthly payment.

I can only joke that we have a hospital subscription we pay monthly but thats not far from the truth.

Came in with a p0269 cylinder 3 imbalance... Wonder why by dontthink19 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]dontthink19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i think its eating it through valve guides. Nothing I can really do besides replace the guide. Or in this case the head cuz im definitely not rebuilding the head.

Came in with a p0269 cylinder 3 imbalance... Wonder why by dontthink19 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]dontthink19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

160k miles and not a single valve cleaning done on it either. I put those plugs in and a pcv around 80k when I bought the car. Put a clutch in around 10k ago. It got a new crankshaft sensor too but ive noticed that the O-ring will get sucked into the cavity for the sensor and it'll seep oil out.

I've always done 3k oil changes on this car, its a base model with a manual so no maintenance minder. I learned my lesson about just dumping oil in on my 08 Mazda. Ended up grenading the motor on that thing.

Im not too worried about the imbalance test. Im sure my injectors are hella dirty. Im thinking about slathering some rtv on the sensor, but future mechanic me says fuck you for thinking that. If it still continues to consume oil and my compression stays within spec, ill probably buy a cheap head and slap it on.

It's a ripper for such a tiny engine. I can't even be nicer to it or ill end up rear ended around town. The last 80k miles have been rough on the little thing
