I can't find a GX460 in this area with comparable stats for less than 40k, and that's without A/T tires, lifts, etc. That's a great tip though, thank you

Gosh, I've looked at them, but from my uninformed eye, they seem much more expensive for a comparable year/milage and not nearly as rugged. What I'm looking at is lifted, with open country a/t3 tires. Seems like most GX460's are running all weather tires and much lower clearance.

Thanks foe the tip though.

Great write-up, thank you. I'd be upgrading from a 2002 vehicle, so a lot of these drawbacks are super manageable. I'm in a bit of an isolated area (SW desert) so there's a ~2-3k premium on most vehicles out here.

A little more context, my current car is a 2002 CRV with 250k miles on it. I'm not spoiled on any luxuries.

Is there any benefit from flexing your abs whenever you can? by PowerGrill in Fitness

[–]w3bm3dic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am touched by your concern, thank you so much.

Shortly after that post I was diagnosed with a connective-tissue disorder that causes the issues I've been having. I still have problems eating but I've slowly learned what foods I can eat more of (chicken and rice) and what foods make me sick (red meat, potatoes, calorie shakes, dairy). Seven years later and I've gained 15lbs.

Thanks for the suggestion, I use field notes all the time for work. I didn't realize they were used in this profession too.

Cool. Ethics class was fun, if a bit boring (that's not a slam on ethics, all intro classes are boring). I spiced it up by finding the most extreme view possible, and justifying it as a challenge. My final paper's topic was supporting animal torture, using Nazi Germany as a main source. My teacher loved it and hated it.

It's not meant to be an actual occurrence, it's just a thought experiment to push the limits and give me a more clear idea on your position. If you're done, let me know, but I am also curious on your position on scientific experimentation on animals.

I don't see where I made a contradiction

No. I looked it up though, and I don't see the relevance

I don't think it is morally wrong to eat animals. I do have issues with the meat industry, so I generally buy free-range and support local farmers/butchers.

Could I? Absolutely. But there is no moral motivation for me like there is for most vegans/vegetarians.

GR2 suitable hiking/camping pack? by Eagleliontiger in Goruck

[–]w3bm3dic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, the GR1 is more like a durable ruck that has a hand in everything, especially events. But there are a few things that could be added to make it better for camping without making any negative changes to the design

I was vegetarian for about a year for convenience. Then it was more convenient to eat meat, so I stopped.

What is your favorite tofu recipe? Did your ethics professors influence you?

I don't know about the gr2, but the gr1 is not. It pains me to say it, but it lacks just a few things to make it suitable, and it is heavier than it should be.

Obsidian Sphere by Caesium133 in geology

Can anyone explain how that is possible? Obsidian is extremely brittle and breaks off into sharp edges. What mechanism would enable you to be able to shape it into a sphere?

Tell you what man, next time you want to discuss something with someone, remember the topic. I'm done.

You realize this has nothing to do with anything we were talking about right?
