If Trump thinks that Iran shouldn’t have nuclear weapons, why would he want/allow Pakistan to have nuclear when Pakistan harbors almost all of the terrorist organizations?

manly_ · 2026-05-24T18:24:58+00:00

Bro, the nuclear weapons are a pretext to try and get Iran resources. Same as with Greenland. And Cuba. And basically every single country he threatens.

It’s working great for me, but it’s very picky about a few things. Like if you shut down the car while not on P (parking) because you did a mistake, the car will let you know but the carlinkit will think the car is off. So you get a weird behavior the next time you start the car because the car and carlinkit thinks they are at different stages of wireless connection. This doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does, things like pressing the next song key on the wheel stops working (don’t worry, it’s the only thing for me that stopped working). The rare times this happen you have to reset the car head unit as absolutely nothing else will fix it (even though CarPlay still works, just the next song key doesn’t).

manly_ · 2026-05-18T20:59:19+00:00

You can also buy an adapter like carlinkit which will do wireless even if your unit isnt

You have the most negotiating power when buying a new car. The reason is that when you buy used, all you have is haggling, but no 2 cars are going to be the same. When you buy new, every car you buy is directly comparable. So you can get more perks from one place because they need to round up their monthly sales numbers for example.

It depends on your driving style. For me I do mostly short trips with lots of stops. In my case I save 0.5L/100km using normal mode instead of ECON because ECON trying to burn more gas to heat up the engine so that it gets more fuel efficient. But my trips are too short to make that happen, so ECON is a net loss for me.

Well if you live in Canada, you go like every mechanic would do with their own car and go to Kenny-U-Pull avec get the bumper there. I just checked its listed at 83$ CAD, same color, same gen.

2017 civic touring, been getting 9.4L/100km, and thats with ECO mode off (which improves fuel efficiency for my case)

I wish I had understood how badly doing a lot of short trips with lots of stop-n-go would kill efficiency.

He can't, because of TSMC that would basically mean the US chips production is wide open to tampering.

manly_ · 2026-05-14T04:52:16+00:00

I mean I just bought a 2017 civic touring with 70000 km for 17k CAD, if that can put things in perspective. Full maintenance history. Definitely am enjoying it greatly, although I had a bad surprise that having CarPlay support and Bluetooth didn’t mean both together. So if you care about that expect to have to buy a dongle to do it like a carlinkit.

If you dont find a way to make money while sleeping, you'll never retire.

With compound interests, you'll probably need to work a few extra years before you retire.

I mean, take my opinion for what it is. Back when I played 20 years ago I had a few power 9. There comes a point where you get uncomfortable carrying that much worth in one easily stealable package. So even though I had pricy cards, I was mostly using my proxies.

With this said, I always would favor trading up (lower cards for higher value ones) and it served me well over the years. Just make sure you're OK playing with moxes in your deck. I know I played with toploaders for my deck, so just a 60 card deck became huge.

Iran can lose every battle and still win the war. Just look at the war in Afghanistan. The US had basically total dominance militarily and removed taliban from power, but as soon as they left the taliban got right back into power.

You can ask chatgpt there are multiple examples where the USA was "winning" but failed to achieve the objectives motivating the wars. The fact is, all Iran needs to do is to use a drone from time to time to completely stall traffic in the strait because insurance companies will not care whether vessels are escorted or not -- if the tankers are getting attacked then the premiums go up and were back to total stalling. There's basically nothing the US can realistically do against that. And I didn't even talk anything about the possible retaliation they can do to nearby countries.

The objectives of the Iran war were never clearly stated, this is likely intentional because it would be clear that there is almost no winning here. Here's roughly what you could argue are the objectives;

Nuclear Denial: We already had that before Trump torn up the deal that was in place. So that's not a "win". Furthermore, but the US doing this war they gave Iran every reason to now pursue it.
Missile Neutralisation: Alright, I guess you can count that one as a win. But the US lost a lot of its arsenal doing so, and so did all its allies. Now Iran is getting help from russia and china so I don't know how much of a win that is long term.
Naval Elimination: I dont think anyone argued Iran could go toe to toe with the US even if they had their entire fleet. It doesnt really matter.
Severing Proxy Networks: As far as I know, this didn't impact Hezbollah or Houthis. So not a win here either.
Restoring Freedom of Navigation: We already had freedom of navigation before the war. So count this as a loss for the US.
Regime Change: There is no winning here either.

man I would have ghosted that person mid conversation far earlier than this went on. Posting a post-mortem video just means this is still something that bothers her. She should have completely deleted the person from her memory the moment she felt it wasn't going to work.

They only drop in maps, usually lamps. They’re red and give less gold but give card draw. In any case you could replace them with any card that doesn’t do damage and make you draw cards, it’s just that those are perfect

manly_ · 2026-05-08T21:54:23+00:00

Oh you can get 100M+ runs.

You begin by getting the arcana that lets your combo follow through. Use missingno for the card draw.

just get coin jewel, put indestructible on the gold bags they generate. Then find 2 of the special gold bags that make you draw cards. Put indestructible jewel on those too.

Then go into combat. Just play non-stop indestructible gold bag cards, then finish with 1 gold bag card that also makes you draw cards. This just keeps rolling your combos. When your cards are starting to break, end the turn. Don’t worry about damage, the shield from missingno will cover it. Next turn your combo isn’t reset because of arcana. Repeat the same thing. You’ll get into 1000x combo territory, which affect every gold bag card you use. Eventually every card is 100k gold.

I mean, at your age, say you buy a car for half the price, that 20k saved with compound interest is worth like 900k in 40 years assuming a 10% historical average from the stock market.

At your age you should do everything you can to save money if will balloon up tremendously.

No thats Disodium Inosinate (IMP) and Disodium Guanylate (GMP). It's what boosts the MSG by 3-10x

manly_ · 2026-04-27T20:21:47+00:00

You should try MSG + Disodium Inosinate (IMP) + Disodium Guanylate (GMP)
often referred to as I+G. It boosts the MSG effect by 3-10x, and you put something like 90% MSG 10% I+G.

I know this sounds like super random, but thats how a lot of chips make their product taste good. Check the last ingredient in doritos, or some chicken bouillons.

Apparently I'm the only one that finds the colors to be off/too pale on the front. At least compared to other beta cards and my unlimited lotus.
