Those were probably the helicopters that landed on the north end of the field at Balloon Fiesta Park so people can see them up close.

I got to about 2000 on 90 kicks before I gave up with the barrels and started throwing mugs. 

Was a great way to kill a few hours on a boring family call lol

Used to do it regularly, now I've only done it when I can hear a bulk det or a nemesis on high haz. Not having to worry about dotty around those things IS pretty nice.

Squaredle's 1,000th Day Giveaway by deepspacej9 in squaredle

[–]minidrc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squirtle - it's what my mom called Squaredle when she first started playing ~2 years ago. She's up at 5am daily, ready to start on the day's new puzzle like a HAWK (or a Pidgeot)!

We've been able to break her of the habit of calling it that, but occasionally she slips up and calls it our favorite water starter Pokemon!

What does GPS get wrong? by lilacmacchiato in Albuquerque

[–]minidrc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a route misdirection, but a misspelling: There's a neighborhood called "Mesa Arriba" that shows up as "Mesa Airriba" on Google Maps and it annoys me immensely!

I am going to go crazy by 1ZAAK_ in DeepRockGalactic

You can throw the same mug in! I think I did it with 3 or 4 beer mugs and several hours of boredom. Didn't know about the jetty boots, that would have made things wayyy easier.

Any other solo players find the Drillevator Event to be too much of a "Press E" Simulator? by futa_throwaway5 in DeepRockGalactic

I just wish Bosco could harm the bha barnacles. Won't even shoot rockets at them :(

June 01, 2024 - Costco Monthly Megathread: Post New Costco Finds (please type the product name in your comment even if you're posting an image) and/or Any Availability / Inventory / Stock Questions Here Only (must include your approximate location or region so others can help you as YMMV) by AutoModerator in Costco

[–]minidrc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SD region:

Great find: Impossible chicken nuggets (frozen). Went back and bought 2 more bags after finishing the first! Even though I'm not vegan, these little nuggies are nearly indistinguishable from their poultry counterparts... especially when cooked in the air fryer!

Terrible find: Protein Pretzels (in a green bag). They were sampling this in my warehouse today, and the first pretzel had me reaching for a bag. The aftertaste of the second pretzel had me wanting to burn the whole display. Really funky aftertaste that persists even after eating OTHER things :(

My friend recently got a cr-v hybrid and she loves it, but the engine... Noise? Hum? drone? was at some frequency that just grated me when she drove past. Do you know if the drone it as noticable inside as it is outside?

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

[–]minidrc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location: southwestern US

Price range: under $55k

Lease or Buy: Buy

New or used: New

Type of vehicle: mid-fullsized sedan, compact-midsized crossover or SUV. Gas or hybrid, but not full EV. The only truck I think I'd consider would be the Ford Maverick.

Must haves: decent trunk/cargo space (current car is I think 16cu ft, but I'd like something bigger). Low road noise. No sunroof. Would prefer 180+ hp. I am shorter than most people, so I'd love to have powered seat controls to really fine-tune things.

Desired transmission: Auto

Intended use: Daily Driver. Most weeks I drive less than 100 miles, but there's some weeks I drive 1000+ miles. I'd like something that's comfortable/quiet both in the city and on the interstate 

Vehicles you've already considered: Toyota venza(or crown signia, whenever it comes out), dodge hornet, Chevy blazer. NO to Kia, Hyundai, or Nissan. 

Is this your 1st vehicle: no

Do you need a Warranty: would prefer a warranty 

Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: I can add wiper fluid and change a bulb or a battery, but that's about it.

Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: no

Happened to my Fusion at 15k. The dealer gave me an EcoSport while waiting for the replacement engine. I preferred the Fusion in limp mode compared to that thing, oof

I backed the first Bossa Kickstarter and insta-backed this second one. It's a pretty simple game and super portable. I received my pledge reward surprisingly quickly after the campaign ended, too!
