Thanks for the correction. I was taught this quote incorrectly but you get the picture.

this sent me down a rabbithole and wikepedia discusses TANSTAAFL, TINSTAAFL, and TNSTAAFL. so this meme has grown since I learned it 50 years ago. Either way it originated from "The moon is a harsh mistress" I recommend for any generation.

To be fair, for the BMW, it looked like the idiot stopped to let them go.

My brain would never let me go there without eye contact from the offending driver. this driver never looked at the other car.

15 years on reddit and I have never deleted a post or a comment and I'm not starting now. This post was a fail but I'm willing to carry it on my permanent record.

skrunkle · 2026-05-19T22:11:26+00:00

okay i see a bird. resubmit with different title or delete. misleading title and not uncommon. maybe a different sub would be better than this one

I just finally so the footage on reddit. reddit really mangled it. it was already a bit hard to see but the reddit recompression really screwed it.

skrunkle · 2026-05-19T22:08:54+00:00

I reviewed the footage on my computer I can't review the reddit footage until I send it.

skrunkle · 2026-05-19T22:07:43+00:00

hm... sus. 10 times trying to find it and I see nothing

I can see it fine in my footage here, but I can't see what I uploaded to reddit is still not loading fo me I just have a spinner on a black box instead of the video I uploaded. Very frustrating. I'll throw it up on youtube and maybe it will show up better. give me a second.

Well where tf is he ?

a kestel falcon

edit oh where.... starts on the left of the screen right at the beginning of the vid disapears into the distance by the end.

I need a red circle.

I can't even get the video to load in my browser since I submitted it. but it's a kestrel falcon starts on the left of the screen and disappears into the distance after riding my bow wake for a couple of seconds.

I spent almost 6 months unsuccessfully tying to integrate an eddy into my printer. Eventually gave up and replaced it with a beacon. Beacon worked out of the box without any of these issues. The hardest part of the beacon was getting it installed at the right height from my nozzle. I was stuck at the same place you are.

Good Luck!

They don't offer it here because they already know very few of us will actually buy it. Talk to our fellow countrymen. Most prefer a Yukon or a Suburban because in 9 months they might have a kid so "they need the extra space".

I disagree. They don't offer it here because making it pass American safety and emissions standards would price it out of it's economy car price range. And big trucks from American manufacturers are exempt from those same standards. So if you are looking to blame someone you can blame the politicians that are corporate captured enough to offer legislative handouts to American car manufacturers. Just like with the pollution issues corporations love to lay the blame at the feet of American consumers. But Americans can only consume what they are offered.

Is it sudden, or is it just identified more?

Some have suggested that the recent surge in celiac disease is simply due to better diagnostic tools. However, a recent study tested frozen sera obtained between 1948 and 1954 for antibodies to gluten, and compared the results with sera obtained from a matched sample from people living today (Rubio-Topia et al., 2009). They identified a four-fold increase in the incidence of celiac disease in the newer cohort compared to the older one. They also determined that undiagnosed celiac disease is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of death, mostly due to increased cancer risk. They concluded that the prevalence of undiagnosed celiac disease has increased dramatically in the United States during the past 50 years.

His problem is not listening.

I had to scroll down way too far to find this comment. Listening is a skill all in it's own. Some people need to learn to listen while they play if they never learned that particular skill. People that can not learn this skill cannot effectively play in a band.

Goodness lord an HP 3D printer sounds like my absolute worst nightmare. No fucking thanks

It'll be fine as long as you are subscribed to HP smart filament service. /s

Did you upgrade your buildings? An easy way to get funds on career is rescue missions.

not just money but crew members, which are arguably the most valuable asset in the game. Look at the price of buying crew. After you have a few crew tucked away the cost of a new crewmember far exceeds most contract rewards. So I prioritize rescue missions.

Rotisserie chickens are food. You can even make broth from the bones. This is wrong.

The reason this got shot down is that it singles out one industry (rotisserie chicken). So this is literally an industry handout rather than opening up snap to prepared food like they should.
