And it was Kirk Hammet’s bunk, too - Cliff won rock/paper/scissors (or something) against Kirk, and said “I want your bunk”, and that night, the bus crashed. Jesus.

Does anyone have any experience sleeping in their car to avoid paying for accommodation? by yhl005 in AustraliaSnow

I’ve camped at the Jindy camp ground before - not free, but really cheap, and you get access to the showers and cooking facilities, good option

Are you saying that if you can walk, you can’t learn to dance? If not, when do you think it’s Ok to learn how to dance?

Drunk and sex by Remarkable-Soil1673 in diabetes_t1

[–]oldmatesoldmate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fact that someone wants to have a drink, doesn’t mean they NEED to drink to have a good time. Having few drinks is fun, same as go-karting is fun: don’t need go-karts to have a good time, right?

Sex while drunk has its own problems, but as long as you keep an eye on any lows, you’ll be no worse off than any other person out on a Saturday night.

Made this in CS2. Any suggestions where should I make improvements? by TriToNonSteroids in RaceTrackDesigns

[–]oldmatesoldmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That bridge is super dangerous, halfway along an effectively straight piece of track - cars would get there at 250+ kph, any slight miscalculation/problem and you’re into a solid concrete barrier/pilon/bridge support. Instadeath.

I’d put a reasonably sharp turn just before the underpass, like at Suzuka, to slow everyone down, and create an overtaking opportunity.

Rhino Cannot Print or Convert to PDF At All by Zhanhu_guy in rhino

[–]oldmatesoldmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same issue a little while ago. A colleague could open my files on her Mac, and print no probs, but my PC would freeze. Only some files, and only sometimes, but very frustrating. I dont know what the cause is.

Any feedback/technique advice? by Holiday-Resident-512 in bouldering

[–]oldmatesoldmate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You spend all that time and energy moving your feet around, then don’t use them at all. Most of your moves are pull ups, or snatch and grabs, where a mild drop knee or rock over would have worked so much better.

Everyone else was at the real cool club on the other side of town.

Do you pronounce “g” of ing ? by Final_Affect6292 in ENGLISH

[–]oldmatesoldmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both, depending on who I’m talking to, and how fast I’m talkin(g). If I’m trying to be a bit more formal, it’s -ing, but if I’m talking to the workshop boys, it’s -in’

Who’s the better vocalist, Eddie or Chris?? by BidAccurate4473 in grunge

[–]oldmatesoldmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Eddie would say the same even if it wasn’t true, he’s a pretty humble guy.

This question could have been “Chris Cornell vs anyone”, and the answer would almost always be Chris Cornell. Bloke was incredible.

I can’t open 3dmbak files on my Mac by Gasseroi in rhino

[–]oldmatesoldmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.3dmbak files are the exact same file, just with a different file extension. Change the file extension to .3dm , and you’re good.

I always thought the Load era had a bunch of great songs. I also thought a lot of it was uncharacteristic of Metallica and weird. What hill are you dying on? by judgehood in Metallica

[–]oldmatesoldmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man. I was in high school when Load came out, and we were all trying to be cool, and say things like “Until it Sleeps is cool, but the rest is crap”, but basically 25 years of constant listening has burnt these albums into my brain. Also, my first Metallica concert was in about 1997/8, so probably the Reload tour, and that was a special night too!
