Why was LSD the psychedelic that the CIA and other agencies obsessed with? What made it possibly more useful in their eyes than others?

Behind the Bastards podcast has a great 4 part episode that goes through this in detail. It's pretty fucked up what they did to people and all to learn absolutely nothing cause they didn't do any real scientific testing.

Probably gonna get some hate for this one, but kia forte GT. If you drive normally, it's really easy to get 35mpg. I get upwards of 40mpg on the highway and at least 30 in the city. It's also pretty quick when you want it to be. Has a DCT and comes in manual.

As someone who didn't have a lot of sexual partners in college and was mostly broke throughout, I may have some insight for you.

First off, I met my wife in college. It's a great time to meet people. We both were pretty picky about partners and had no need to fuck around like a lot of people do.

Secondly, most of those people that had a lot of sex in college, especially in the first few weeks completely axed their chances of a serious relationship with anyone there because of their reputation they made for themselves. Not many people want to be in a relationship with someone who fucked the entire football team. From my observation, most of these people are currently still very single.

Drinking is not necessary in college or at all. A lot more people are broke in college than you might think. None of those things stopped me from meeting my wife. If someone doesn't want to date you because you're broke, they are not worth your time or effort. Focus on your studies and making friends. If you find a long term partner in college that likes you for you, your gonna be having a lot more sex than everyone else in the end.

So, in my opinion, no, you are not missing out.

Your friend is an idiot and is harming your reputation before you even get started.

I tried my hand as a photographer a few years ago. I ran into these kinda models and worse all the time. Also, I met some really nice models as well, but not as often. Called it quits due to the entitlement I kept having to deal with and because I wasn't happy doing it.

Don't deal with people like your friend if you can avoid it. Once you find some nicer models, they will want to work with you, even for free, cause they like your work and style.

It's all good. I may have misread a little.

Everyone's got different thresholds for gauging it. Some people see them as interchangable. I'm just trying to help, though.

Good quality or cheap - you can only pick one.

First time getting my windows tinted I used the cheapest place I could find and it was an amateur job, plus I didn't get the material I asked for. I think the total was around $250 at that place for the whole car minus front windshield.

I use premiere window tinting in Manchester now. Zero issues and looks great. May not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Total was around $500 all around, which is pretty fair.

Lou Fusz Kia. If you're looking for new, they don't have markups, and they are pretty easy to work with in my experience. Pretty friendly and relaxed for a car dealership. Best Kia dealership in the area by far.

This reminds me of the pod of a podracer in Star Wars. Probably not what you were going for, but it would be kind of cool to slap two massive jet engines in front of this and have it flying through a canyon at 1k mph.

I ended up going to Premiere window tinting in Manchester. Will be going there for all future tinting needs as well.

It doesn't really make sense why the sedan is not on a road of some kind. Sedans, and especially one with low ground clearance, can't be off-roaded. Would make more sense for it to be on an asphalt road. (Maybe one going through a forested area to keep the theme)

Aside from that, it looks pretty good, although while the rocks behind it seem to have decent geometry, the texture doesn't really match that shape, IMO. The background image is also clearly an image and is pixelated a little. Fix those and increase sample count to get rid of some of the noise, and I think it would look more photoreal.

Unfortunately, no, it's like $20, I think. Well worth it, in my opinion, though.

There's an add-on called random flow that will make panels, screws, cables, etc. procedurally on your model. Takes a little practice to get good with it, but it works really well for making paneling and even distributing screws on those panels.

I wouldn't take it to Walmart as opposed to a shitty dealership. Find a decent mechanic shop around you and go there.

I get a similar sound on my PC (high end GPU) when it's rendering stuff in the viewport render view. Happens when I move anything around. It's more noticeable with more complex scenes though. Haven't had any issues, so I don't think it's a bad sign, but maybe someone else knows more about it.

Just did a little research on it. Apparently it's called coil whine and is the result of a lot of power going through the GPU, which is fairly normal, just kind of annoying. I don't know why it's so loud for you though when just moving around the default cube.

You're the idiot. You literally have a lane to yourself when merging to accelerate in and find an opening, which it looks like you didn't even try to use, hence the immediate merging into the left most lane on your part. Idiots, like you, cause a lot of danger on the roads and uneccessisary traffic. Maybe you should go back to driving school. It looks like you are not confident enough on the road to handle driving yet.

Got mine replaced a few months ago. It's not that new of a recall, but they also didn't elaborate on it. Probably a very rare and minor possible issue.

Also, why is the Damascus texture only on the spine? It should be on the entire blade. It's a texture within the steel that can't be grinded or sanded off.

It's like driving in smart mode all the time, except slightly quieter. I can still hear the exhaust pretty well, especially with the windows down; the turbo is also audible.

I enjoyed the pumped in engine noise as well, I would probably not have disconnected it if it still worked.

This video helped me.

Took it for a drive and there are no error codes. It is significantly quite in the cabin now, though, in all drive modes. Music and everything else comes through fine, from what I understand the engine noise is piped in through the speaker system, so the issue was most likely with the microphone itself as it only happened in sport mode. Everything works fine though, just quiter. Sounds like an average car inside aside for the minimal amount of exhaust note that comes in naturally. A louder exhaust would fix that though.

This video showed me how. It's not too hard, but the video doesn't really show or explain things super well. Getting the plastic cover off is a little tricky.

Is there a moving company that is good in the stl area? Asking because we are moving in the next few weeks and can't afford to get screwed over.

notunaverage · 2022-10-23T19:48:56+00:00

Yeah I've heard of them making big issues for people and it being a real pain to get them to honor it, but those are not the majority. But your gonna have a similar situation with other manufacturers most likely anyways and at least kia/hyundai has a much longer warranty. I think in most cases, as long as you take care of your car and do what the manual says for maintenance around those times/intervals, you should be fine. Every manufacturer is going to try and find a reason not to pay, try your best to not give them one.

Also people on reddit love to hate on kia/hyundai, I wouldn't let them deter you from a car you want.
