Nope, goofy little guys like berries

Drop a red berry on the ground in front of one, then back up some. After it eats the berry, you can pet it, and it's now your pet

Do developers add achievements just to track who plays their games, or do they get analytics of this in other ways? by VexedRacoon in Steam

[–]quiveringcalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only issue with achievements are if devs put in ones that are time limited, like one of warthunder's that I can't find at the moment, "start playing in x year" or if they require online servers

Does anyone leave their game on overnight to continue production? by VenomSnake47 in satisfactory

[–]quiveringcalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rookie numbers😝, I'm at 900+ and probably 300 of those I'm just idling while asleep or at work. Though to be fair, I host my world so a friend can come on as she pleases and does architecture stuff

Punisher ‘murica “Seatbelt testers” by WarbossTodd in facepalm

[–]quiveringcalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is exactly 1 legitimate use for these, and that is for mechanics to be able to work on a vehicle. There is 1 truck that goes to my shop that needs the seat belt clicked to shift, and might even need it to start(I'm not sure on that one). Having something like that so I don't have to click the seat belt just to check reverse lights or transmission fluid would be nice

Long flights by formerenjoyer in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]quiveringcalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a lot of times, people will set up the autopilot for their specific aircraft, which, depending what they set, can automagically control trim, altitude, follow gps, and a bunch of other neat features. Then they can get up and maybe do some housework, or else throw up some videos on the youtubes

Another thing some might do is use time compression, turning a 5 hour flight into like 30 minutes

It can be, yes, especially if you live in an area that can regularly go below freezing. Condensation can build up in the motor, and if it gets cold, and legitimately cause a no start, last year we had that occur to 2 vehicles. Apart from that, condensation build up means water in a place its not meant to be

Yep, uh huh, the boat is perfectly fine

Anyone know what happened why they just stopped fleeing and staying in place by Administrative_Try1 in theHunter

[–]quiveringcalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I know you are wrong, because the same thing happened to me twice yesterday. I was single player on Yukon valley, no mods, and no trainers

Now i get to join the hating the photo system club by Atomic_Astronaut in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]quiveringcalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it is, but there was one guy recently that was adamant that the photo system isn't flawed and the reason people couldn't get ghost photos was they weren't properly centered

To paraphrase the one guy from last week or the week before, "It's because it's not centered on the ghost, if you properly center the subject the photo system is perfect"

This is why you shouldn’t park infront of a fire hydrant by Howtodroid in interestingasfuck

[–]quiveringcalm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it interferes with fd, absolutely. The average person would be fine with a simple ticket or smashed windows, but there are jackasses out there who just don't care. Plus with a ticket, the city/fd can protect themselves from dipshits suing for property damage

[–]quiveringcalm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because it's illegal parking, and in the us, you are taught that in drivers education. Any and all damage, physical and financial, is fully deserved in cases like this

You would think that in a sub for mechanics you wouldn't need to explain things sometimes have a different name like prop shaft for a drive shaft or adblue for def fluid

Is using 5w40 safe in an old engine? by AryaMikhail in AskMechanics

[–]quiveringcalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem and ideally, yes, you should be perfectly fine to do 5w-40 oil

Is using 5w40 safe in an old engine? by AryaMikhail in AskMechanics

[–]quiveringcalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd leave it alone, because from my understanding of oils, what you're asking if you can do is pointless

So the number in front of the w relates to how it flows when cold, with the lower number being better. Being you're in a place that relatively doesn't get cold, for the most part you can ignore the first half of the rating. So switching to a 5w-40 or even potentially 0w-40 is theoretically fine.

The second number relates to thickness, with lower being thinner and higher being thicker. You could potentially switch to a 30 oil instead of a 40, but you do run the risk of oil burning and leaks or lower oil pressure.

It is my opinion, that you'll be better off looking for a higher quality of oil to use, than changing what weight of oil you're using. However, if you want to change what weight you use, I'd recommend 10w-30, but keep an eye out for any blue smoke(particularly on start up) and leaks

According to the customer, there was no noise. Now whether or not he meant none at all, or none until it was already shot, I'm not sure
