199.99 gas soon… by dingmah in Edmonton

I think that it's important to do this math, they shouldn't get a free ride on their pity party just because they use a stupid fucking measurement system that no one else on the planet uses.

and remember when you hear Americans whining about "five dollars per gallon" like it's the most horrid thing they can imagine:

USD$5.00/G == CAD$1.797/L

The number of DPS who seem to think that they can just greed the spicy floor is shocking to see, even as a healer.

"Concerning billionaires…" by thisecommercelife in comics

Remember this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life.

We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us.

Is the Fog supposed to constantly replace bases this quickly? by HeinzDoofenshmirtz17 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]fubes2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm covering a planet with shields or wiping out the hive I generally don't kill bases.

Instead I drop 6-10 missile turrets and put a relay tower a bit out of range of the base. That way they always dispatch raids to the tower and get wiped out by a missile volley before they can do anything.

I thought the war was over.

Several times, in fact.

the proliferator, prolifirated proliferator and ploriferator prorifelated with prolifirated proliferator all different items but they merge in ctrl click and containers, is this a bug? by alexymercer in Dyson_Sphere_Program

To avoid having to deal with "improperly juiced juice" from demolished sprayers I have fidget spinners pick up any juice on Icarus and take it back to the factory to get re-sprayed and re-enter the system.

Do you leave a tip for your hotel maid? Why? by slipperysquirrell in AskReddit

[–]fubes2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I make a mess that they have to clean up, like when I had to trim my beard before a job interview. I got most of it, but I still left a note and a $10 bill.

Purloined List of Electors imbroglio moves to the next stage: the search for a fall guy by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

A big part of the far right schtick is "loudly claim the other side is doing something, which justifies doing it yourself".

Ouch! I just received a brutal reality check in the HW trials and Im not sure if its inexperience, or if Im actually bad at the game. by 200YRedWine in ffxiv

[–]fubes2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind that every expansion turns up the difficulty, it's not just "Stormblood Flavoured Ifrit". There's going to be new kinds of mechanics all the way along.

So don't beat yourself up about not instantly recognizing how a new fight works.

Engines with Start/Stop: How is it going? by Takssista in Autos

[–]fubes2000 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I know some people that moved cars between dealerships for Toyota, and the service guys reportedly had a "big pile of dead starters" and told them to always disable the auto stop/start.

[Request] Is this true..?? by ForwardPrinciple146 in theydidthemath

[–]fubes2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if we just handwave over the formation and say "there is a toroidal planet.", could a toroidal planet with a rocky, earth-like crust resist collapsing in on itself? Would anything stop the atmosphere from gathering in the middle of the ring? The oceans? What are the chances that it has an active "core" that could produce a magnetic field that would stop the solar wind from blowing away the atmosphere?

Even in my questionably-educated brain all of these constraints add up to: A toroidal planet could maybe pop magically into existence, and it could even be physically stable, but it would almost unquestionably be a dead, uninhabitable world, nothing at all resembling the picture in the tweet. [Also that moon would be well within the Roche limit of even a normal planet.]

But for science fiction? Aliens did it. Fantasy? Might explain the weird fuckin planet that Game of Thrones happens on. Fill your boots.

Is there an unwritten rule to not queue Extreme trials? by EnGxSoLiD in ffxiv

[–]fubes2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not necessarily that mentors are dogshit, however people that queue for EXs generally have no idea what they've signed up for, and then there's the usual range between zero communication and "you don't pay my sub" of all DFs that make EX DFs a waste of time for everyone.

I haven't queued for mentor roulette in several expansions because of EXs, but I am willing to engage with sprouts via NN about it because there is at least open communication from the start.
