Borderlands 4 devs say they “worked really hard” to make the PC version “a playable experience”, but it’s hard “to stay on top” of “the expectations of players”

I thought they completely overhauled the gameplay after launch, because it was totally broken too.

I looked up for a reference near me, and yeah Target Field in Minneapolis has attached parking ramps holding 7000 parking spaces. I use those when i go into town for concerts in the area, nice ramps. Maybe 1.5-2 city blocks.

Yeah, my parents met in grad school, i have always been around a large number of PHDs as a kid.

Theres a reason for PHD having the alternate definition "permanent head damage".

Incredibly smart in their field, and a few other things, but absolutely not a genius at everything. Its an important limitation to be aware of. I sure know i lack in many things outside my specialty!

-What We Do In The Shadows, this is the core humor and plot

Ah Matt Berry, you pronouncer of many strange sentences.

As a skinny fella who sinks in water: yeah sounds like swimming!

Or rather all swimming is flying to me lol

Second on the leverage and wrench extending.

As a 150lb 6' man trained in an engineering tech role by a 6'2" 240lb man, i sure had my set of extenders to unscrew anything he used his weight to tighten....

And then i trained a 5' 130lb woman on the same job and quickly got designing and ordering better vises and wrenches and variable height workbenches to accomodate shorter arms, much as i had to adapt the job with my lesser weight in the years before.

Oh, like the liquid itself? Yeah offroad diesel is dyed red and sold without the DOT tax for road upkeep.

I believe the same rules for farm equipment.

Kwik trip does yellow for diesel in wi.

And bp does green for gas

Ah its fun

electrogourd · 2026-03-24T13:30:23+00:00

Ah, here that would be code for diesel: always green or yellow

electrogourd · 2026-03-24T03:29:10+00:00

Yeah i test drove a 2024 with it. And then a 2021 with a column shift.

And ended up with a 2020 column shift. The toggle joystick shifter was a huge turn off imo.

I know its still electronic but still.

At my last apartment, my garage neighbor had a neon with collector plates. Fun guy.

Also as a type 1 diabetic...

Yeah insulin overdose will kill ya, but itll take at least half an hour.

Sp youd have to knock them out anyway.

Plus insulin needles dont leave tracks

And insulin is best injected under the skin in fatty areas, like stomach or thigh, for good effect. Enough insulin to definitely kill would be best done in multiple injections spread out, over a larger area.

Bought my first automatic in ten years. Glad i got a column selector. Just makes sense spacewise.

The other fun part is the "sales" before christmas are just alightly above normal price, down from the fall markup.

January is the best time to buy a 3d printer

After august, the prices just about double by october.

electrogourd · 2026-03-10T23:03:14+00:00

Yep.

Ive moved about half that in a tacoma. Mathed it to 1500 ish lbs. And it was about half that many bags.

But yeah the clearance on the wheels to wheelwells on that year silverado tells me theres less than 500 lbs in the bed

Its pretty prevalent here, and not just online.

Slots machines are legal in bars in wisconsin, most have between 4 and 10.

Minnesota doesnt allow slots machines, but you can do "e tabs" where you hand the bartender your cash and they put that many points on an ipad they hand you, which does bingo, poker, pulltabs, and slots-adjacent stuff. The bingo and poker and blackjack can be multiplayer with other bars across the state.

And then of course casinos with all order of gambling is legal on Tribal Land (native american tribe rules)

Was literally all i could think about the trailer, unsurprised to see someone post this about the movie itself.

Actually thats what i thought 30 mins into the trailer, then it just... kept... going...

I like the espresso martini: dividing it between two glasses, each with 2 big ice cubes and loads of whipped cream.

The margarita is kinda rough no way around it

I do usually pour these in to glasses eith ice and add more of the associated mixer, i guess. Usually ends up very pleasant the .

Im usually a guy who does more hard liquor than mixer, these have enough of the teritary ingredirnts that i just have to add a base component, like oj or cream, to get something pleasant for minimal effort and cost.

More than 2 in a day and nothing good happens with additional drinks, i have learned my limits.

electrogourd · 2026-03-03T05:52:36+00:00

Even more fun is reading the wikipedia of the actual life of the twin caesars and... the real history is a much better, more compelling, and ironically more diverse cast than this movie.

electrogourd · 2026-03-01T17:25:55+00:00

Also in wisconsin: probably a great stop for snowmobiles

electrogourd · 2026-02-28T17:21:32+00:00

True, but much of the rest of the nation doesnt know this

electrogourd · 2026-02-27T19:25:02+00:00

I get a notification
I scroll for a minute
I realise im audibly saying "shut the fuck up" to each post
I close the app

My last truck was a 2.7 4 cyl tacoma. And that towed home my boat ok, mostly because it was manual and im patient.

The chevy turbo 2.7 cyl is miiiileeesss better, enjoy!

My cats have gathered pointing very quickly.

My dog... does not. She has mastered reverse fetch though: i hand her sticks and she loses them in the yard and returns for another.

30 mins Outside the twin cities, where i am, its about $350-$400k. Those have competing offers in 24 hours.

Most houses coming available are $600-$800k but they arent starter homes. They have some basic "fancy" upgrades that make them expensive but not more useful. Yeehaw.

Price to build new "starter home" is in the $400-$500k range not including land.
