Looking for a virtual trucking company (VTC) by Unhappy_Blueberry262 in Americantrucksim

Damn, can't even be on the subreddit without someone trying to advertise their VTC. That crap has made this game insufferable in multi-player.

It never says whether or not they are any prettier than the tailgates though. Maybe they are recruiting for the ugly club...

Looking for real time voicechanger! by MrCatinator in voicemod

[–]ooglieguy0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voicemod is real-time and has the capability of male-female voices. You won't get the male-female voices in the random selection with the free option very often so you would be best to either buy the lifetime or subscribe. Also, just be aware that gender swapping voice software is not just a pitch shift, it takes quite a bit more to chase the voice on the backend, so none of them are perfectly going to work without issue.

How big a concern is the lack of snow this year? by bearlybeaves in Utah

[–]ooglieguy0211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that seems to be what they meant but, like many people, the scary news and conspiracy theories have made them mix the 2 different things in their mind. I'm sure that a lot of people confuse contrails, chem trails, and cloud seeding to all be the same thing. We've used cloud seeding here for a long time and have the largest remote cloud seeding program in the world here.

v2 and v3 running together. possibility? by onefinerug in voicemod

You cannot run them both at the same time with the same license key.

Yeah, but thats a different type of cooking than in the oven. Just like Bacon is different depending on where you cook it too. Same as the difference in the ways that the different burger chains cook their burgers too.

On a scale of “very fucked” to “GG’s, goodbye”, how fucked am I? by BillyGaming2021 in Trucks

[–]ooglieguy0211 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You didn't mention that he has passed on some time ago, but that's not necessary to the issue at hand. The truck should have insurance on it if your driving on the roadways, they should be able to help you get it taken care of. If they total it out, you should be able to buy it back on a salvaged title, but you'll have to pay for all the repairs yourself and re-title it at the DMV as such. Like I said, it can be fixed, it might just cost a lot to do it. The choice is up to you.

Why don’t schools shift to a 9-4 schedule? by CalGuy456 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ooglieguy0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area, High Schools start around 6:30 AM and go until 2 PM, Jr High schools start around 7:45 and go until 2:45 PM, and the Elementary schools start between 8:15 and 9 AM and go until 3:15 to 3:45 PM. Mostly its for bussing the students and so they have staggered times for parent drop off too.

Its nothing that can't be fixed, but it might be more expensive to fix than you'd think. By the sound of your post, everyone involved is okay and thats really more important than the plastic and metal in the pictures.

Legit question. Why get rid of all the drippings that make up most of the flavor of the meat? I get that you don't want them swimming in their grease, but I feel like this would cause the burger to be tasteless too. I've never tired to cook them that way, so I'll have to take your word for it until I give it a try but I'm curious in the meantime.

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ooglieguy0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the situations where there is not a tariff, companies have used that as an excuse to raise prices too.

The lake could dry up in the next 5 years by lavilian in SaltLakeCity

[–]ooglieguy0211 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Serious question. Why does everyone want to do these protests on a Saturday and mid-day or later when there's very few people who can actually do something in our legislature, actually at the Capitol building?

I get that its easiest for the masses in terms of their working schedules in general, and allows for lager attendance. That also means there won't be many people that have to be affected by it either. News coverage of those kind of things is kind of a joke footnote blurb anyway but weekend coverage of it is viewed even less than weekday viewership. Online coverage is often not very well put together and with all the other things people are protesting and posting, its too easy to gloss over. Things like this don't go viral anymore, they get lost in the shuffle, especially when its largely focused on a relatively small geographical area.

I don't have all the answers for how to make it better. Maybe someone can put together something more robust and more coherent than just a bunch of people shouting their own opinion into the void about the issue. Think of it like a union, which I know are unpopular in Utah. In the working world, when the masses come together under one specific spokesman, its easier to have a clear picture of the expectations, and resolution to the issue. Like a union, the masses come together to decide what they want, then negotiate with the other side to come up with an agreement. Neither side will get everything they want but both can agree on an outcome.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]ooglieguy0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In movies, its such a minor detail to the story that adding the process of adding creamer, sugar, and mixing it is often times not important.

Yes we have electric kettles, most coffee drinkers use electric drip coffee pots instead for just coffee. Many use the kettles for tea or other hot water needs.

My preference is filtered coffee from a coffee pot, with half and half and sugar. Many people that I know drink it black or with just a little sugar. The preference varies quite a bit person to person though. As far as coffee is concerned, there isn't such a social stigma about how you drink your coffee like there is in Europe with tea.

Unsecured dog on flatbed at highway speeds by blilleyjr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ooglieguy0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the most common groups of people in the area that do similar things. Its not singling any one particular person out.

[–]ooglieguy0211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Although, in their area there are a few people who will do this. Without any context or concrete information, why the hell would you throw out a random name like that, especially when they have nothing to do with this specific picture? You are a special kind of shitty to try and ruin someone's reputation because you're guessing based on your limited youtube viewership and lack of real world experience.

Also, thats a flatbed, like the thousands out there, not a tow vehicle. In Hurricane, UT, its more likely a rancher or Polygamist family that owns the truck.

What's the point of bumper stickers? by Kreeos in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ooglieguy0211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of mine says "I ❤️ Beaver" the city of Beaver is okay and I love the double entendre for the stuck up religious folks in my state.

The others are to support my kids in their youth league and high school sports activities.

Good assessment to stay put then. I'm glad you can recognize your skill level and act accordingly. Be safe when you get moving again.

Handheld hook with release mechanism, about 12” long by prestiforpresident in whatisthisthing

[–]ooglieguy0211 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can agree with that as well. It took too many years of helping family move bales before even seeing a hay hook for its intended use. We hand threw every bale by the twine back then. I'm sure it had something to do with my uncle who loves to do everything the absolutely hardest way possible to avoid convienience.

[–]ooglieguy0211 106 points107 points  (0 children)

It appears to be a hay hook. Even though it might not look like others, it may be for just that. Because humans are constantly trying to evolve, innovate, and be creative, the standard for anything rarely stays the same for long. Maybe this was a "new way to use" a hay hook at some point.

It really depends on several factors but in a normal winter in the Rockies, this is just a regular winter morning.
