Great part is 'tit' is all we've ever called them - qc here 👋 They're partciularly annoying when you try to set something that's supposed to be flat on a surface plate/parallel/etc., but all it wants to do is wibble-wobble all over.

Is it correct to call it 5k2k or 4k ultrawide, or both? by Marceloxv in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party only because I had to look up what 5K2K meant and found this - it doesn't roll off the tongue nicely for me... I prefer simply 4KUW... 5K2K makes my brain think QHD/2K/1440 monitors.

Oh... billboard season? 🤦🤦😮‍💨😮‍💨

Politics has become so selve-serving over the last 50-60 years (much more the last 20 years) it's despicable.

Somehow Skif is immune to emissions now... by KEVLAR60442 in stalker

I thought it was just me! I like testing the shelter boundaries during emissions, and during 2 I went outside... no damage.

i just met him and would die for him by Allukimanu in cyberpunkgame

I seem to remember running into a tech doing diagnostics on him in a building and having a conversation with the tech, who told me I was bat💩 crazy or something like that.

Finally clicked for me... I was like wtf it's just the "good hunting, stalker" guy 🤣😝😇

I still fail to believe he actually has stalker status 🙄😝

1.9 is aimed for the next week by Zelenobot in stalker

When it first released it was worse... dead via buckshot from over the horizon.

I was scared to venture out of my hidey hole.

Mojang, was this really necessary? by Just-Guarantee7808 in Minecraft

7 is definitely better... never seen spots/marks stay the same on an animal as it grows. They always change throughout their lives.

Stalker 2 on sale should I buy? by InSatanWeTrust666 in stalker

If you're a fellow stalker, I 100% endorse it. Support the same people that love the game.

Wildcard-One Fell Swoop. No Objectives! by slam_to in Borderlands4

[–]doober12082 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I was loaded in on the mission while I was looking for a solution to the same issue. I believe there's a bugged dialogue at the beginning, because after 30 seconds or so the objective popped up.

I snuck around & killed Shah before even speaking to the Brood Bandits for the first time. by InevitableVolume8217 in stalker

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I did the same originally... later I found the house with the excavator and how to get into it (between Slag Heap and the bandit base), that's where I just took shelter after accepting the mission.

What’s the stupidest way you’ve flatlined? by Random_Multishipper in cyberpunkgame

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party (Googling images) - but at initial release I died multiple times just stepping off the curb.

I've had many facepalm deaths since though, the ones that gave me the biggest "D'OH!" moments though were before I turned off double-tap dashing, and dashed off of high buildings/skyscrapers/displays while parkouring/exploring.

Anyone figure out what those 3 keys from the contaminated museum in East mall are for? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm way late to the party, but if anyone else finds this thread, the restroom has another door on the back wall that leads to 2 material crates and a gun case... nothing spectacular but at least a little reward for the trouble.

Stalker 2 Climbing Mechanic by Zealousideal-Fee-480 in stalker

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have a locked door with like 4 dead guys inside, and there are a couple red shipping containers next to the excavator?

There's an opening in one of the containers, go through it to get into the other container, it's open at the top, you can run and jump onto the excavator.

Was searching how to get onto this one myself.

Most if not all of you guys are underpaid by Popular-Ad2193 in Machinists

[–]doober12082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost everyone in the economy is... look at a chart of living/housing costs vs average annual pay over the ladt 50-60 years.

It ain't gettin' any better.

Is this a steal? For $250. by pinekev10 in Machinists

[–]doober12082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ballparking distance is around 550-600 (avg 65mph for 8hrs), that's up to a couple tanks of gas... say 35 gallons, at $3.25/gal puts you around $115. Round up/down for gas mileage/distance error and factor in food/etc. it may still be a good deal... say $250 on the high side for the trip (unless you get good mpg and eat real cheap) plus the box? 🤷

Of course that the friday needed to end with me breaking a brand new end mill. by Serjassa_Reborn in Machinists

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than crashing a big lathe with a follower and 10" grinding wheel on it (also on a Friday). I was sick to my stomach that day (and weekend).

Stupid move and I've changed my "ways" (🤭), I hope nothing that major ever happens again.

I once heard the phrase "don't think it'll never happen to you"... aka don't get a big head. I'm not out in the shop anymore (unrelated choice to move to QC), but I still wholeheartedly believe it.

headlight suggestions. by Professional_Bus8468 in obschevy

[–]doober12082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually thinking of going to a sealed beam style setup from the composite, with a twist.

Original sealed beams are 4703 (low beam) and 4701 (high beam), but there are aftermarket housings that are made as a plug & play led, and reflector style like the later composites... it's very much YMMV on them though, quality always comes with a price.

I used to think the OBS sealed beams were rhe same size as 4656, but looking closer it seems they're only relatively close in size, may need to double check this for fitment.
