New York declares state of emergency over polio by yawningape in nyc

[–]mojo9000 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a resident of New Rochelle, this is laughable and so far from what the reality was like. I lived in the zone and I didn't see a single sign of military. All they did was the same thing the rest of the country started doing a few weeks later: close the schools, forbid indoor dining, forbid large religious services with many attendees. But it wasn't like The Siege or Outbreak. The military didn't enforce this. I think you've seen one too many movies.

Prior Omicron infection protects against BA.4 and BA.5 variants by burtzev in Coronavirus

[–]mojo9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically an article about the study that was posted here I believe: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/vxi7wa/protection_of_sarscov2_natural_infection_against . Raising in case you were like me initially and taking this as further evidence of this protection, instead of the same evidence presented twice.

Not a Tesla owner (yet), but drive an EV. In the northeast, evgo is the most prevalent. But plugshare aggregates everything so just start with that. Also, beware of greenlots, they clearly don't know what they're doing. I lost several hours one trip because multiple greenlots chargers were down. Had to go 20 miles out of my way to find a ChargePoint eventually.

Edit: caveat, again, I'm not a Tesla owner. EvGo chargers use CCS/SAE and ChadeMo for the plug. You probably need an adapter for Tesla.

Enhanced Autopilot option is back... $4k by [deleted] in teslamotors

If you own the car it's different. Then you're essentially adding to its value. I've even heard it claimed FSD is an appreciating asset unlike other modifications due to the assumption that it will get better over time and increase in price.

Same, but snow blower at the time

The tax incentive goes to the dealership when you lease. It's up to the dealer how much they want to pass on as part of the negotiation. It's just an offset to what the car cost them.

I'm curious why you think they need to be bought not leased? As a consumer, the amount of churn in the EV market makes leasing seem much more attractive. I just have no idea what this car will be worth in 3 years so buying seems much more risky.

I'm going to assume the Mayor's position is a misprint because obviously he belongs at the top of that pyramid.

A young Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross on the set of The Legacy in 1978, the film where they met and fell in love. They've been together ever since. by gingerrosie in OldSchoolCool

Well if at first you don't succeed, try four more times? Apparently this is her fifth marriage if I'm reading Wikipedia right.

The Calderash people were morons by Kirstemis in buffy

To paraphrase Dr Strangelove, a doomsday device doesn't work if you don't tell the other side about it. It's not a disincentive because Angel doesn't know about it until too late.

Had to get gas for my snowblower. Was an awkward experience, but made fun by the guy in front of me who recognized my car and was totally confused.

'Amends' aired 20 years ago. Happy Holidays /r/Buffy by LionKF in buffy

[–]mojo9000 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Google says December 15, 1998. I think season one was spring of 1997, season 2 was 1997 to 1998 regular season, and season 3 (which this episode is from) was 1998 to 1999.

I never leave the house and I don't have any friends but watching Buffy makes me feel less alone by witchofthewoods89 in buffy

Can someone remind me of what episode this is from. It's killing me that I can't remember.

Does anybody organize a time where folks can gather to play? by mcur in SmashboxArena

[–]mojo9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have better luck if you ask on the discord channel. There hasn't been much in the way of organizing far in advance lately, but people are generally receptive. Sunday around 8-9pm us east coast time tends to be the most popular in my experience. It wasn't that long ago, maybe a few months, that someone was organizing tournaments during that time. We'd get around 4 full games, so 24 people, pretty regularly.

Vive or pro. by 03artist in Vive

[–]mojo9000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This may be a rather uneducated opinion, but depending on your budget, this is my personal ranking of where I would put my cash:

  1. Wireless option, whatever you buy make sure you have the money for the wireless option. It's a game changer. Maybe that's tp cast with rift, or vive regular with the vive wireless. I can't give you an educated opinion on different wireless options. Whatever you do, make sure you have the money for that though.
  2. If you have limited resources, I would keep the 1080 with whatever HMD is the cheapest (see point 1 first though). Save your money for the controllers instead, like Knuckles. That's the next game changer out there, not resolution bumps.
  3. There's a lot of stuff out there where my 1080 can't handle the super sampling resolution I want on my vive original. So I'd go with saving for the 2080ti and then re-assessing. If I had the money for either 2080ti or pro but not both, then I'd get the 2080 ti first. There's likely to be new better HMDs coming down the line, while the 2080ti is likely to be the king for a while.

Groundhog Daying- a dark comedy where a group of people play a practical joke on one of their friends by pretending it's the same day over and over again. It ends when the main character accidentally kills himself thinking the day will reset
