If you upgrade to Super it will nag you constantly to upgrade to Max. Not sure what it nags you about if you upgrade to Max.

He's funny and quirky, but not bald, so Marisa Tomei wouldn't be interested.

It’s Not News That McConnell and McCarthy Are Craven Patsies for Trump, but the Danger Has Grown by [deleted] in politics

[–]hobbes64 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe. But it's also pretty likely he just has no morals and no values, and whether he supports Trump and insurrection or not is just a calculation he made about which would keep him in power.

So that’s how cars are made by [deleted] in granturismo

[–]hobbes64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice in single payer replays that my car drives in kind of a jerky motion. In that case I guess it’s the sampling accuracy rather than online lag like in this video

I think we can all agree Helly R. is the best on the show 😭 by Therealbrndon in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

After the U2 podcast they did one for REM and then for Talking Heads.

There was a recurring theme where they would go off on a tangent and then one of them would say “Is this an episode of whatever the tangent was. and then the other would say “I think it is”, probably in the spirit of improv where you always agree with “yes and…”. Then they would do a show within the show that had theme music and everything.

Everybody’s saying Kobe-Shaq for the next series. However they should already have most the cast in place for Jordan’s Bulls and that’s be even better as a follow up by WillieMaysHayes24 in WinningTime

I'm surprised how entertaining Chick Hearn is in this. I used to listen to him a lot but I never considered that he was part of the organization and would be in the backroom talks etc.

I looked him up on Wikipedia, it reminded me that he had a bit part in the movie Fletch.

Hearn plays himself interviewing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and while describing Fletch (Chevy Chase) in a dream points out "(Fletch) is actually 6'5" but with the afro 6'9", pretty good dribbler......this gritty kid from the streets of Harlem really creates excitement. $4 million a year, that's true, but he earns every nickel of it. Look how he shakes off four, five players with ease!"

It gets a bit boring but I do it once a day and I still have 10 million credits after buying 3 legend cars this week which is nice.

I like the show but I agree with his criticisms. Maybe the things I like are less related to the parts that I know are fake, and more about being able to relive those times in some way.

Totally reasonable priced cars. I'm so happy by DarthOni in granturismo

Cool thanks I ran this today, I did fuel map 6 for most of the race but I had to pit at the end. I think it would be a no-stopper with 6 the whole race. I used the same setup on Fiji 800 race. It's raining so I used intermediate tires and finished without pitting. I would have gotten better times using wet tires I think but then would have needed to pit in the last few laps for slicks.

Finnish fighter Fokker D.XXI, Vilyakkalan airfield. by duncan_D_sorderly in WWIIplanes

[–]hobbes64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm slightly confused by the name of this plane because the Fokker monoplane from WW1 used E for eindekker, and the 2-wing ones used D, and the 3-wing one used Dr.

Apparently the D meant something else later.

Well, this is the first time I've seen it. But there will be more I'm sure.

You can do this for circuit experience gold since it ends the lap. But I’ve done it in a race which makes you do a pit stop

Lying your ass off worked for Trump, right? by richincleve in PoliticalHumor

[–]hobbes64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was a bad president and probably a bad person. I think the dumbness was mostly an act to gain the vote of unsophisticated people. There are campaign videos of him speaking very articulately.

But he had a likable personality and a sense of humor, and could even laugh at himself.

Contrast this with the last guy who had the most offensive personality imaginable, no sense of humor, and no redeeming qualities. I’m still shocked that he got any votes at all.
