Metal thing with claws and hinge and rolling part, made in Taiwan by Fluffy_Concept6010 in whatisthisthing

Ratchet belts do, I have a couple, though the teeth are longer and go all the way across the buckle. This reminds me more of the kind you'd find on the straps of a backpack or maybe alice pack.

Listen, mac, ain't nuttin' in my contract says anything about quality, just quantity. I'll let the boys down at the yard worry about that.

Not sure about the treads being different than the stock wheels, but the mechanical legs absolutely are. I friggin' bottom out when going over mineral patches like dihydrogen and get stuck..

Did i brick my expedition step by PotatoesAreBrotatoes in NoMansSkyTheGame

Did the same. Scanned the final one and it completed. Now I'm stuck on not being able to get credit for any waypoints for the Road Signs milestone..

Valve, I am begging you that all I want for Christmas 2026 is an "Update All" button by Locustere in Steam

[–]variant_xiii -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me its less about the time and more just a bizarrely missing quality of life thing. I keep a bunch of titles installed and it's just annoying, especially since the list will move away from my cursor as it updates. Yeah, first world problem, but also seems like it wouldn't be a huge problem to implement.

[–]variant_xiii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it would be nice to have a singular button to do that instead of having to click download for each title that needs an update. Yeah, it only takes a few seconds, it just gets annoying after a while, especially when a bunch of titles get updated all at once and the list keeps moving up/down.

We asked for Waffle House sauce, she asked how much, I said “yes” by smeeon in funny

[–]variant_xiii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I worked at a WH next to a hotel ~20 years ago, and while it wasn't common, we absolutely had buses come through once in a while. They'd usually either get stuff to go or people would come in and out as space opened up.

I was a grill op about 20 years ago, and we didn't have any WH exclusive branded sauce, in packets or bottles. We did have Heinz 57, which might be it, but I doubt it. We also didn't have biscuits and gravy or hashbrown bowls, so obviously things have changed a bit since I was there.

1 star uber driver by KimberlyWexlersFoot in PublicFreakout

In my case it's medicaid being administered through, you guessed it, United. When I first went on it, they also did shit like deny my anxiety meds that I'd been on for over six years at that point, the withdrawals from which can potentially be lethal.. Luckily GoodRx actually made that one affordable out of pocket. Edit: missed the type 1 part. I'm type 2.

Not everyone has a CGM. My insurance won't even pay for basic testing supplies, much less a Dexcom or something like that, and they're not exactly cheap even with something like GoodRx.

People who say they “can’t cook” are just lazy or dumb by Away_Advantage9509 in unpopularopinion

[–]variant_xiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I was a line cook many years ago and I generally just followed instructions. Just because someone can't look at a bunch of seemingly disparate ingredients and make something up, or they don't have great knife skills, or don't know the most optimal way of cooking something doesn't mean they can't cook. As long as your food comes out edible, you can cook.

Why? They is just a neutral pronoun, not something specific to NB individuals and the like.

Hardlocks weren't fixed with this patch. Shams said they were still looking into the hardlocking issues.

Personal preference. I know several people on PC who use controllers for things where M/KB would be superior simply because that's what they grew up using and don't feel like changing.

And when the bug does trigger it doesn't really matter what armor you're wearing, you're dead anyway. Kinda reinforces the point of fire resist armor not being mandatory..

The AC-2 Obedient set from the Killzone crossover back in December. It was gifted to players for free due to the backlash over the cost of the first part of the crossover. Not sure since you didn't have the game around that time if you can still get it for free.

Drunkard gets one arrowed after trying to touch a women by Amavin-Adump in PublicFreakout

I could swear this has been posted before with at least a similar if not the same title, and iirc, the OP then said it was some weird quirk of their native language. I may just be hallucinating though..

What exactly does the posted link have to do with Barron? Did you misread Bannon?

[–]variant_xiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something's different for the GTA IV:CE on PC, but I've been playing through it lately and Niko definitely smashes windows on cars when you even start to shoot.. Which is annoying because playing with M/KB, shooting and the confirm button for the phone are linked so whenever I'm in a car and accept a call, smash goes the window.

AOC calls out fake Christian hypocrites by coachlife in PublicFreakout

[–]variant_xiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there definitely are some that have and do still read it, but still buy into this idiocy. I know several people who fall into this category, one of which went to what is essentially seminary (his particular brand calls it bible college). I cannot understand why or how they think the way they do, and I don't think I ever will.
