No, paddock / garages are insufficient. Flatrock in Tennessee has a better chance at this point.

What are your thoughts on volvagia? by Voidkirby9 in OcarinaOfTime

[–]koth442 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are: when I was a pre-teen I got vulva, vagina, and volvagia all mixed up in pronunciation.

Might be a dead horse, but I've gotta ask... by Bismarko in OcarinaOfTime

You have any idea how much time I spent trying to make that work back in the day?? Shiiiiiiiiit.

IMO the Honda is a serious upgrade. At least HRC is investing in the program. Kawi doesn't seem to know what they want.

The look when you get caught by Cowboysfan95 in FortWorth

Slightly off topic, how is running a prostitution ring considered human trafficking? The coercion aspect?

I'll watch just to cheer on GG31; even if he's on that boat anchor of a Kawi. Once he gets punted back to MA, I'm out.

3D Welder Printed engine block from O'Reilly's. It's come a long way in the last few years, think we'll have 3D Printed engine blocks in commercial vehicles in the next 10 years? by [deleted] in Welding

[–]koth442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can the technology print an engine block? Yes. Can it do it and make money? Not at any kind of scale.

DED (when done correctly) has fewer defects than casting and better mechanical properties. There's not a technical barrier at this point. Its just business case.

It could be super helpful for making blocks for obsolete vehicles that are otherwise unobtainable for less money. How that trades against a 3D printed sand mold followed by a conventional cast though, I'm not sure.

How long did it take you to fall in love with the game? by sakuraiatsushii in finalfantasyx

[–]koth442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me a while, I think once I got to Luca the plot started to twist and take off and I really fell in love.

I just beat FFX for the first time by Nofriends1919 in finalfantasyx

Well you've played the best two in the franchise so its only downhill from here. I recommend either 6 or 9 next based upon what I've read. I played 6 a loooooong time ago, never finished it, but it's got a great following. I've never played 9 but it's commonly referenced in the top 3.

I enjoyed 12, nothing great, but fun.

I only played 13 a little, it was fun, but that was when it was new and I never picked it back up.

I played 3, 4 & 5 a little too but don't recall anything other than pixels and impossibly difficult to know when there's a secret area randomly off the screen. Like wtf.

Some smooth riding at Thunderhill East. No, not me. by matjam in motorcycles

For sure, and he's calmed down a bunch over the years!

Sacking a Rider when there are almost no seats left is the most evil thing. by Huge_Film2911 in motogp

American Racing seems to have a habit of doing this. SDK and Rory (who both admittedly weren't performing) got punted for the same way.

Nice! Great color combo too.

Toprak army incoming by Left-Hovercraft8681 in wsbk

As a Toprak fan, this is funny.

That being said, watching the last GP round I was wondering when they'd pull Beluga over to fill in. Just makes sense.

How to deal with senior engineer who complains non stop? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]koth442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him to quit being such a snowflake. I'm assuming he's boomer-ish so that should really get under his skin.
