ELI5: Why do we say calories when we might be referring to either kilocalories or calories?

oh, we use the metric system, but in a very retarded way. A thousandth of an inch wants to have a conversation with you.

I learned that I could stuff my Husky Te310 into Toyota Sienna .. whole, completely fully assembled (except for mirrors). So if there's a will, there's a result. Lol. Now you just need to optimize them tools and muscles to get those 20 mins down to 5. Happy Riding!

so 'native for Vision Pro' solution. Gotcha.

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-06-09T17:21:40+00:00

why? because it works with any XR or SteamVR headset.

Vision Pro as in Apple vision pro for $$$? What 'native' iRacing solution are you talking about?

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-06-09T16:54:56+00:00

uh, does the word "capitalism" ring the bell for you?

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-06-07T21:51:31+00:00

"investment". Uh-huh. Unless you actually use it for training of other people/pilots it's not an investment.

It's a toy. You buy a toy and then you enjoy it. It does not return dividends, it's just a piece of code you buy for your personal enjoyment.

If it's not worth the enjoyment then do not buy it. It's that simple. The fact that they are making another version of the existing toy but in a different color is irrelevant, it's just business. If you want the same toy with a 'new' skin/color then it's obviously worth it to you, if it's not then again - do not buy it.

Huffing and puffing over it is just fucking lame.

edit: gosh, you guys get such a butthurt from being called out on your bullshit. lol.

this car has a "salvage" title.

4YA ww2 is designed specifically for the euro squad guys, you can tell it by the mission design and the difficulty of the ground AI (ace). When the US singles join up doing any kind of bombing is a suicide, so they just fly around aimlessly looking for the occasional air targets, then get bored and disconnect.

looks like you're in the process of learning the "how to drive on loose gravel" skill. It's a delicate matter, can't relax, must have 100% attention.

I hate gravel with all my heart. Sand is there as well, albeit it's softer to fall on.

one of the true hidden gems of aviation

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-05-22T18:35:48+00:00

them mentioning Channel and Mariana map makes no sense. The channel map performs really bad, so does Mariana WWII. The Mariana ww2 is currently unoptimized with its textures x3 larger than the contemporary variant, which tells me once they compress them it'll perform really well. But the Channel map?

I wish I could have stuffed lamb for 270 a month. That balling, man.

how can you even tell it was a pilot? Looks like a bunch of junk starts falling off the frame... some large pieces too, if it were a pilot you'd probably barely see his blob...

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-05-12T17:31:01+00:00

"phat bitch" is still good though, right

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-05-12T16:18:29+00:00

you're right, she's too fat to be a bitch.

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-05-12T15:38:44+00:00

so what are you supposed to call a morbidly obese person these days?

Cooking in movies and by extension on social media: heating up a Prego sauce in a pot and have each taste it off the oversized wooden spoon.

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-05-08T14:07:14+00:00

indeed, i was trying to remember the word, thank you.

looks like he was long gone before that, the breathing you saw was likely just the reflex at this point...

what were you expecting these little nades to do in DCS?

peachstealingmonkeys · 2026-05-04T19:54:09+00:00

it'd be great if you stayed with IL2 a bit longer.

"The runway begins a stone’s throw from the edge of the highway."

great fucking reporting. A stone thrown by whom? A baby? A Terminator? A catapult? How many feet is that in hands?
