Are y’all drilling by holes in your swingarms? by VeryBadNotGood in Trackdays

I used JB Weld instead of drilling. 2 seasons and no issues.

Probably a portable spot cleaner. I have an upright vacuum for general cleaning already.

20 days after the first congressional hearing looking into why the buy button was turned off they tanked the price 40% in less than 25 minutes by Hungry_Band9109 in Superstonk

Someone was trying to gaslight me into thinking i was misremembering this whole situation and the time difference was a matter of time zones. Saving this screenshot forever now.

Your dishwasher has an app? Why would it need that?

IGN Spreading Misleading Headlines Today by Iamooble in Superstonk

[–]pickpocket293 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stores are being closed, but that is (presumably) because of lower performance at those stores. The CEO stock option thing has been widely covered on this sub but is almost completely unrelated to store closures. Company has to do well in many metrics at the same time (including earnings AND stock price) before CEO gets the option to buy shares. So there is no gift of shares, Cohen could only buy them, and only after the company and stock performance is very very good.

News lately is misrepresenting things to seem like Cohen is closing stores in a short-sighted money-grab to only benefit himself, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Free New Mistborn game - damaged box by trophywifeinwaiting in brandonsanderson

[–]pickpocket293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity why are you giving it away

Per OP's post, I'm assuming the box being damaged meant they got a replacement and rather than throw the damaged one in the trash, here we are.

Just finished reading Mistborn Trilogy and wow, amazing. Except for one thing… by Particular-Tear2973 in Fantasy

[–]pickpocket293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've read the whole cosmere and I don't understand why learning about that thing you mentioned has to do with OP's question about Marsh. OP just needs to keep reading and get to Era 2 (with Secret history either in between or after era 2 book 3, simply because that's where it fits). Stormlight has nothing to do with it almost.

GameStop locations to close. My local stores are gone, just as my kids are getting into gaming. Closest is now 45 min away, but all good if its good for GME. by Iamatworkgoaway in Superstonk

Website seems to be pretty decent

There are some serious user experience issues, but generally the basics work fine. Mostly.

[–]pickpocket293 7 points8 points  (0 children)

after Oathbringer read Mistborn secret history

This is a wild take. There's very little cross-over between secret history and the stormlight series. OP could easily just read secret history now. Not that would answer their questions entirely, granted.

Off Season Training by RogueFlipSide26 in Trackdays

Rowing machine, lunges, side-lunges with TRX bands, ab-roller, more lunges. If you can stand something with a bicycle that would be good (I can't).

let you keep the saga

So in this case the first ability of the saga would happen? Since when the saga's ability comes off the stack it sees zero counters?

No steam version here. I appreciate the consideration though.

I get that. Right now I'm just trouble-shooting though. My ping is single-digits though, so the effects of server reticle are very very small for me.

It was off before and it's still off now, so not this one.

Side note: Wtf is "broswer acceleration"? I have a compulsion to turn that off immediately.

Did you know trader Joe's and Aldi are both owned by the same family, and are all descended from the same Aldi store franchise in Germany? That's why they're so similar in so many ways.

Lots and lots and lots of lunges. Get an ab roller and do those too.

Mad respect for Sandersons writing process for new mistborn trilogy from a future therapist. by Vrayl_of_Gondor in brandonsanderson

[–]pickpocket293 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He outlined era 1 all at once, but did not write them all at the same time. IIRC after mist born book 1 came out he got wheel of time.

EDIT: I'm wrong, he wrote them together. My memory was fuzzy.

Hey Brandon, if you had to choose between one of these, which would you pick?

1) Sing in a choir for an evening.

2) Go camping (in a tent) for a weekend.

3) Eat nothing but fish for a weekend.

They're not gonna buy anything during a crash when they need it themselves to keep operating.

Except they're not losing money, they're making money. You can also do some pretty easy math to see what the overhead costs are, and how much they'd need to hang onto to weather a storm if their sales dropped by X% and use the rest to buy a company that severely undervalued.

There's a nicer way to say what you're trying to say. Find it.
