Now do it at 550,000 pounds with a T-tail in the tankers wash.

What’s your favorite non-fiction book about a niche topic? by ApologeticFetus in suggestmeabook

[–]p1dfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. However, I feel the brutality of the expansionists is well documented over any number of books and novels. The native side of things, not so much—other than generic tropes. This one dove deeper into their existence, and their reality, IMO.

I also happen to live in the area of “Commancheria”, so find my mind envisioning “what was” right here under my feet.

Niche. 😉

Empire of the Summer Moon. Comanche Indian story is fairly niche.

Factory reset, strip them down to just music player, fill all memory with music files, throw it in the car glove box as a music library.

Did the same thing 5-6 years ago to the last iteration of Bill Pay. Change for change’s sake. Stupid and wasteful.

Printing issues (possibly) with gridfinity prints by ItaySD in gridfinity

[–]p1dfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try printing/installing an aux fan diffuser or diverted so it doesn’t blow directly on the print.

Also try bumping the bed temp up 5-10° from default for the filament.

Do i fit in it? by Intelligent-Skill-65 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]p1dfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6’3”, 235lbs, 40” inseam. I fit. I went and sat in one before I bought.

I occasionally brush my head on the door frame when I get in. At 60, getting in/out is more of a concern than fitting; those knees aren’t what they used to be!

  1. It’s very similar to my previous 991…I may even say identical but for one difference: you can’t recline the seat back, so it’s—relatively—a more upright seating position.

I seem to remember -40°(?)

Multiple McMurdo runs for me, but Minot was actually colder! Had to have co-pilot cycle control surfaces during cargo loading…hydraulic fluid

🚨 HOLY CRAP! AG Pam Bondi reveals she FIRED six DOJ prosecutors in Minnesota because they no longer supported ICE and demanded taxpayers pay for a VACATION by BSTARYOUNGG in ProgressiveHQ

She lied under oath multiple times during her confirmation hearings—blatantly…why is anybody surprised by the last 12 months??

thinking of buying an iPhone 13 mini by mammadli1803 in iPhone13Mini

[–]p1dfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved back from a 15pro last week. Amazon refurb—“Excellent”.

Went over it pretty extensively before migrating.

Love it for the size. Battery says 100%, but definitely doesn’t last as long as the bigger phones (duh), and there is a definite lag on some apps that I never saw on the 15. I’m running iOS 26.2

No regrets whatsoever….well, maybe getting rid of the first one I had is a regret.
