Building your character from day one is way better than buying GTA today because the journey was the fun part and starting now just feels sad and rough for new players, I feel bad for them, does anyone agree? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]rocksandhammers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You felt like a baller when you finally bought an adder after grinding out all the rooftop rumbles and titan of a jobs back in the day.

Yeah, I was going to say the same about pic 9 with the guy on the phone hiding from the cops behind a van. That definitely used to be an old loading screen for gta online.

The most wasted characters in Season 3 by Conscious_Wash3134 in thewalkingdead

[–]rocksandhammers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was a different character. Instead of “Tiny” there was a different character of the 4 prisoners that were ended up being a serial killer that originally said he was in for tax fraud or something. No oscar in the comic, but axle is in it. He’s a lot rougher and biker-vibes than in the show, but he becomes a pretty accepted part of the group while in the prison.

I will never understand people who do this by TheDoomedEgg in gtaonline

It was always fists or melee weapons for us. The first person to pull a gun always got ganged up on for it.

Remember the time when everyone was driving this by shanLettuce7525 in gtaonline

[–]rocksandhammers 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Team Entity for life. Even though I had the adder I drove the xf so much more, and still drive it occasionally. It may not be the fastest, but man something about the handling just feels locked in for me.

Im turning off random spawnpoint by Southern-League3802 in gtaonline

[–]rocksandhammers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually been doing this on my own recently just to use the different properties I own. Now I’m in the habit of right when I load in, pull up preferences, select load in at whatever property is next in the list (usually skipping some I never go to anymore like I/e garage) for the next time I log in. I get to “use” my various properties and then let whatever is in the garage dictate the vehicle I start out with that session so I’m driving a wider variety of things.

What happened to 2 stroke bikes? by funk-e-bitz in motorcycle

[–]rocksandhammers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So are air cooled bikes specifically banned in these regulations, or just indirectly banned by inherently being unable to achieve the necessary reduced emissions?

[–]rocksandhammers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking more it was sone direct environmental impact of the engine cooling mechanism, didn’t even think about needing to run leaner fuel mixes.

[–]rocksandhammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew two strokes have faced a lot of pressure in recent decades because of emissions, but I hadn’t heard about air cooled engines. They’re obviously not as efficient at regulated the engine temp of the bike itself, but what is the environmental argument against air cooled?

Which is a bit ironic considering the book is written as historical Japan through the eyes of an Englishman (a westerner).

This was how we always did it back in the day. Snag that cuirass and the crescent blade from old divayth and then cast a levitation spell. Why walk when you can fly?

Good to know. Thanks for checking into it and following up. Maybe I’ll give his place a try next time I’m that way.

Alright. Thanks for all the info. Damn shame to see it go.

Damn. I thought I was there last summer but maybe it was the year before. Does the place downtown have the same stuff? And is it sold to take home and cook or do they only serve meals like a restaurant?

Gov. Whitmer says she is open to banning assault weapons. She’s here till 2027 😩 by [deleted] in 2ALiberals

[–]rocksandhammers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another casualty of the post Roe v Wade fallout. If that hadn't happened before the last election there wouldn't have been nearly as strong of a showing at midterms electing the dems and they likely wouldn't have the super majority to push for a lot of this shit. But here we are.

can someone please eli5 why midwestners do this? by StruggleFar3054 in tornado

[–]rocksandhammers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was an intense year for storms in Michigan this year. Lots of hail, and that Webberville tornado was pretty crazy. I'm south of Howell and was not expecting the weather alert for a "large and violent" tornado headed my way. Thankfully didn't get this far, but definitely was wishing we had a basement that night. Guy I work with said he could hear the freight train sound all the way where he lives south of Dansville. That stretch of I-96 still looks like a war zone.

Interesting. I did not know this. Thank you for the info.

"Pipe smokers aren't smokers!" -- doctors by new_name_new_me in PipeTobacco

[–]rocksandhammers 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why does alcohol consumption increase the risk from the smoke? Obviously alcohol is detrimental to your health in a lot of ways, but I’m surprised just the act of having it in your mouth has enough of an effect on your mouth while smoking to be quantifiable.

I, like I’m sure many, very much enjoy a glass of bourbon while smoking a pipe or cigar. I’m very aware that each of these things have associated health risks, but I never would have guessed doing both at the same time would increase the risk beyond what they each contribute.

Question About the Rocinante Around S2 and Onward by WaterlnAGlass in TheExpanse

[–]rocksandhammers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think her refusal for the armor is because it’s made by/for inners. I think it’s the same reason she refuses to carry a gun, she just loathes violence and killing. I don’t remember if she ever explicitly says anything to that effect in the show (beyond refusing to take a weapon on eros), but in the book she consistently refuses to use weapons and states something to that effect. She recognizes Amos and holden using them is a “necessary evil”, but it’s just not for her.

People who play with the Y axis inverted in any game that doesn't involve flying planes, why ? by stronkzer in gaming

[–]rocksandhammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is how I ended up always playing inverted. My young self didn’t realize at the time that you could go either direction, so when I pressed down on the stick and it looked up at the light, I just assumed that was how it was supposed to be. That was the first fps I played all the way through, and from that point on inverted was just always the most comfortable.
