I was gonna post the image of the two girls playing Skyrim but then I thought that would give Error the excuse he craves for so I didn't

Ah, fair enough. I wasn't sure if it was directly related or not. What I do know is that looking at it beyond the obvious "this is for a picture" pose/setup the actual layout/positioning bothered me for some reason. Then it got worse the more I looked.

Wow sexist

I know, I'm the worst. I'm also incredibly racist, speciest, and abusive towards living and non-living objects.

At least according to some. I hurt neighbor's cats by simply existing within a few yards of them without even doing or saying anything.

That image in the OP bothers me.

Who actually plays like that? The flat display must be either amazing or the perception on it is absolute garbage. Also that left arm/wrist isn't gonna last long like that. Further looking I can just imagine swinging that arm out of discomfort and nailing the vertical console, destroying the disc inside and probably taking the tv that's overhanging the edge with it.

I also like how 9 hours is enough to qualify as heavy. Hate to see what they'd classify 20-40. Soul destroying.

Dern female women

I like how the hand out of focus almost looks like a terribly censored phallus and fun bag. She's in a frenzy for sure either way.

I know around here they(school, church, and relatives) followed the mindset of never explain anything and it won't happen or be discovered. Basically don't talk about it or mention it and they don't realize what's between their legs. I remember being confused about it for the longest time until connecting the dots on my own.

That's ok though, because I knew more about damn plant reproduction than I did human for a few years. Parents and church never went there. Oh well...

Eh, not so bad. I'd do it... though I had to look back up to make sure it didn't say 500 million puppies. 500 I could slowly work through... 500 million would be so time consuming it'd not be worth it. Ignoring moral reasons ofcourse.

They had to take the islands from someone.

Every time I pass by Wal-Mart I think about picking something up and then realize that would invovlve having to deal with their 2 open of 70 total checkout lanes.

Oh my god your walmart does that as well? Why do they do that?

To drive customers into a pace.

I once went in, grabbed a dvd, was ready to go plop down my 5 dollars plus tax. Only had 1 register open in electronics and 1 person in line. Stand there and wait since it's no big deal, look around at their stuffs in the meantime. Eventually it occurs to me I'm behind one of those people. I hold out, but the customer in front is calling 1-2 people about a card not working or something. So I eventually slink to the front and there's only 4-5 open, all jam packed with 5+ per in the middle of the day. Go back to electronics to see it's still held up. Took about 22-24 minutes from pick up to receipt.

At least Arachnophobia is a good movie.

Only problem with Best Buy is the prices. They sure love them 100+ dollar hdmi cables because they're super fancy.

I wouldn't be suprised if that's even why they're still around, all those installation and service fees like geeksquad.

They did ditch DVDs not too long ago, so at least they're shaving products off.

I'll somewhat miss SEARS, what with its odd disarrangement and not knowing what exactly it wants to be as a 1990's time capsule.

I think Trump's as terrible as the next guy but

Ford is lagging behind the competition, selling an anemic 32.8 vehicles per employee.

How does a tariff making lets say steel more expensive keep people from buying cars? This sounds like supply and demand. Not enough people want their cars. In fact, I heard months ago that Ford was getting rid of selling cars all together to sell trucks and the Mustang.

Yep, Focus, Fusion, Taurus, and 2 others. Focus will continue in europe because they actually like hatchbacks unlike america who doesn't "get" things like the Fiat 500. I mean it took a lot for people warm up to the older japanese vehicles, assuming they ever did.

Ford adapted to the light truck tax from the chicken tax, as did a few others. Unfortunately this also resulted in deaths/injuries in the case of Subaru's BRAT and its bed mounted seats you're not actually supposed to ride in... oh well.

I can only assume these are more blanketing and thus harder to skirt than just sticking 2 seats in the bed or not importing with a box so you can claim it's something else.

Ford could also not put out garbage like their powershift automatic... Pretty bad when a fiesta/focus needs the transmission redone within 6-8k miles of brand new because the clutch is total garbage.

I saw a connect the dot puzzle book.

There was one that was a typewriter cuz I cheated and glanced over the solutions section. Had 540 dots on that one.

At least the coloring one can be nice, but that... atleast it's linear, but the sheer cluster of numbers is daunting.

I'm honestly suprised at how rapidly this one's building up. When it was still a potential tropical cyclone I commented on "well, so long as it doesn't just sit there and build up it'll be nothin"

How fast they grow up.

Krystal and Renamon are also catalysts of the conversion, along with some others...

Guess it just depends on where and when. For some it doesn't even have to be anthro, such as the lion king, or kimba if you're one of those.

Since this is zootopia related I'd let that panther man go wild on me.

He doesn't even have boobs.

Judy is ok, but I have slight mixed feels towards her. If she floats your boat then so be it.

I'm still pretty miffed about cash for clunkers when I learned they glassed the engines and couldn't use the body parts for anything.

I didn't mind the whole trade in thing, but the automotive genocide portion... ugh.

Not surpised with the number of their vehicles being built in Turkey or whatever. They got around the light truck tax of the chicken tax like others after some adaption, but being so widespread across the world it was only a matter of time for other stuff to get hit.

As for their vehicles... they're ok, not really a fan of them outside of a few examples. To be fair they announced axing 5 of their car models from the US(or entirely) months ago so this isn't suprising in the least.

Thought it was India, but was Turkey. Though to be fair they're pretty european heavy so to claim they're murican is about as accurate as when my parents claimed their buick was a great american car after being protestant of korean vehicles. Ironically the buick was a rebadged GM Korea vehicle.

Done that before, though not my doing...

What's real interesting is when there's a transformer pop that sends enough surge to start up the central air unit when it's set to off and still set to off while running.

Never happened before, but when it did I was like someone experiencing an earthquake for the first time and not sure if I'm hullucinating. Because it was set to off for some time, then kicking on with its whirly blow.

This thread just reminded me of some weeks ago when my dad found out how much range they have. Turns out he thought they only got around 40-50 miles between charges/max capacity this entire time.

"Wat... They're not 100k golf carts or something."

The dashboard of the 3 bothers me, and it's not because of the placement. The MINI had its speedo in the center which is weird, as have a few previous... but it's so soulless.

Because my bedroom door is damaged from an event in the past I don't know about, so it doesn't actually attach to the frame and is usually open. Strangely it only detaches if closed. Replacing the door wouldn't work either, it's more structural/deep.

I don't trust my cat. A claw to the eyelid or the arms is enough for me to know I don't want it there in my sleep. At least my clothes give mild protection and mask the wiggly toy.

Adding to the first, my cat also wants the door open at all times to hang out in the window.

For 50 I'll change your oil, but for an extra 25 I'll throw in the express package where I use an impact wrench to save you time and money, because time is money.

Lmao @ $50 for an oil change

That's a deal. They usually are nearly 2x the price.

The difference is made up when you need an entire new oil pan, because you won't find out until later down the road and even then it's too late anyways. Because I gotta go fast and screw it to death.

Speaking of garbage oil changes, many moons ago when I was still new to the act of driving(think I'd been driving for a year or so) my parents got an oil change at one of those quick stop service stations that litter the landscape. Paid for the oil change, assumed the deed was done. Bout a week later while I was driving "oil light is on... and now off... and on again" and ofcourse I was told it was probably a mistake or I didn't see it right. Turns out the car with 160k miles on it was driven for over a week under commute/shopping/etc load with no oil in it beyond what remained in the filter. They didn't even check their own oil yet acted at the time like if I so much as glimpsed under the hood I'd ruin the car somehow.

Engine siezed about a month later, with oil ofcourse, but the crankshaft warped and melded to the block, bending a few connecting rods as well. Transmission's reverse also somehow grenaded itself under the dealership mechanic's care... which I find suspicious.

Pretty sure River is a surname, so now we just need one named Whiskey River.

Amber River is also close enough and I'd let it potentially work, so long as they get an alias of Amber 'Whiskey' River.

Hmm

So that when things go bad, things smell like death... Oh boy what a time.

I like seeing the drearie grey skies and leafless trees. There's also something about the climate/smell shift in october leading up to spooky time.

It's oddly soothing and I didn't get to really experience it last year because of the windows update from hell that basically ate all my time to fix also following a cat 1 or so hurricane. There were some other things as well. That month ended up being one of the worst for me when it's usually one of those oddly cozy ones as I don't feel as dead inside with all the ambience.

I don't like the freeze to death temps though, but the 50ish degree ones are ok.

Crazy ants, not ants as a whole, but god damn crazy ants.

Failing that maybe termites... I know they serve a purpose, but enough years of swarm season is enough to make you hate em along with their damage.

I'd rather kill the crazy ants though, because at least you can actually combat termites vs using banned chemicals to simply keep them from spreading as rapidly.

Adding to this, I already know they're in my county and somewhere in the area. I don't know how far they are, but every time there's a storm or I see ants I go into a state of "what are you, how do you look and behave" and scrutinize these lil fire ants and sugar ants like some sort of ant profiler with high anxiety. Currently have some sugar/black ants doing typical september/october scavenging in the house and I don't mind them so much.

and yet Goldeneye will probably be better

Ofcourse, because it had DK mode and what I so lovingly refered to as the pencil gun.

Seriously, the AK-47(at least I think it was it's been so long) looked like a black coloring pencil that wrote with literal lead.

I've definitely seen more SUVs, but local areas still have crown vics, chargers, and this one sedan I can't envision well. Might be a taurus or fusion style. Might not have to have replaced them, so the older cars are still around. Unlike somewhere where they get beat to death or need mass replacement.

I don't blame em though, they're large and heavy enough to get physical with most other vehicles, room for stuffs, easy to convert into a K9 unit or something.

They look a bit dull I guess, but then again so do a lot of recent designs.

When they realise I'm in the room.

huh...

I just realized you can make "fun atari" or "atari fun" with the letters. >:

I was too distracted by the metronome of the futa ways I guess. Oh well

wankel rotory

I have no idea what a wankel rotary is, it sounds very dr. seuss, but a yaris is front wheel drive.

It's a now mostly dead form of combustion engine. Notably used in Mazda's RX line-up and some other examples previously. It's also refered to as a washing machine by some other automotive enthusiasts. It has awful mileage at around 17-20 mpg on a good day, but the power to displacement ratio is/was glorious. Unfortunately they're also high maintnence and no one is currently using it, believe the RX-8 was the end and no future in sight.

Depends on how it's driven, since I'm not all up the fluff on a lot of the latest hyper cars for reasons(honestly anything newer than 2005-2010ish I'm usually meh towards due to this damn copy paste design sedan I see everywhere). I'm gonna assume it has some form of hybridization since that's what they're doing. When pushed most can devour their tank in 30-60 minutes. Normal person driving some could be pushed up to probably 5~ hours.

Not unless it's converted,

uhhh what

Not all cars are stock configuration. Some have done wild conversions such as taking a front wheel drive honda civic hatch and making it into a rear wheel drive with a V8. Since it's a unibody and never ever came with a tunnel for the trans/driveshaft you either have to jack the rear up really high or make your own tunnel.

I highly doubt this is the case in this situation, but you never know... Could have a wankel rotory in there for all I know.

Since I don't know your car's year or configuration I just did a simple search on fuel range. 2017 yaris average range is 399 miles... that's like a 7 hour drive based on past experiences. Yours will no doubt be different, but still within reason.

Keep it near the red, drive it wide open like a bat out of hell til you crash the gate.

Push it to the limit.

snesmaster40 posted...

A Yaris is front wheel drive.

Not unless it's converted, but that be a logistical nightmare due to the lack of trans tunnel. What I do know is it's fwd and transversly mounted. The question is whether it has a weedy little inline 3 or 4. The 3 will struggle more and run at a higher rpm, meanwhile the 4 has more displacement and both will balance out with the 4 probably edging out at the high speed cruise game. Gearing will then determine how much the engine has to struggle at high speeds... I'll assume Toyota isn't dumb or using logic from pre 1995 so it's got overdrive.

As for the 4 wheeler comment, if you've ever been around a trucker or 18 wheeler you'll know all passenger cars are refered to as 4 wheelers. Yaris(or Vitz if you wanna really dig at it) has 4 wheels. Thus it's a '4 wheeler' and a lot of them do some stupid stuff around tractor trailers that think 90,000 pounds stops in less distance/time than a 2,700-4,000 pound hatch/sedan.

Should be fine unless you're running at 3500+ rpm the whole time and the fuel tank is small. If that's the case you'll have garbage mileage and run out faster. Since 3 hours doesn't give distance I'm ballparking it based on stuff. You should be fine, so long as you're gentle/smooth.

P4wn4g3 posted...

Are you driving a 4 wheeler the whole way

Yes they are, actually. According to trucker/semi perspective.

It depends entirely on the actual capacity of the tank and the mileage. Mileage varies, but so long as you don't drive like a savage and keep the rpm's at a modest cruise without lugging it should be fine. I don't know the gearing or engine for your car, but if it's screaming at 3-4k+ the whole time you're gonna be sucking it down. It's also a compact/sub compact hatch so I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume the tank capacity is small, but the engine is also probably small and the loss will be if it's an engine/gear ratio combo that causes it to scream at a higher rpm when doing 60-70.

That said, it really depends on the distance and how you drive it. You honestly should be able to, might even make the return trip unless it's a small tank. That said you'll probably wind up refilling before returning anyways.

for those of you who have played on console, how does the game work with a controller? i have a gaming PC but id rather play on xbox tbh, unless the game is really gimped on console

It's not too bad at all. There's a few quirky bits, but you adjust to em.

For general movement you just use the left analog for direct control vs clicking. If you need to stand still and go into a more cursor mode to look around or select something you can toggle it with clicking the left stick. There's the ability to hold A/X pending on console to do a radius search and brings up a menu of every container, torch, item in the radius that can be interacted with.

For the most part you can just run up to stuff and it'll be selected letting you can press A to do the default action or press X/square to open the more detailed alternatives.

Combat is pretty obviously untouched(minus using a button to switch to/from the hotbar), though I do know console get the LB/RB and L1/R1 cycle through targets. You get 5 smaller hotbars vs bigger across the screen ones.

The only loss/negative is you can't tell what effects are on someone, unless it's under examine. I forget at the moment, but possibly there. It's also easy to interact with the wrong thing such as stealing a pot vs talking to an npc if you're too reckless. Other than that I've not had any real issues.

Oh, nearly forgot... managing the inventory/party etc is a bit weird, but not bad. Say you want to change someone's weapon, you gotta hold RT/R2 and go to the appropriate petal. If you don't wanna open one of those menus then tough, you're commited once you let go of the trigger. Right trigger handles journel/inventory/etc while left trigger handles who you're controlling and their grouping/seperation. So yeah, it takes a moment to adjust, but could have been much worse.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was about the car and I was very confused.

...but I wouldn't put it past Toyota either.

Nope, but I will say his comedy routine of "Will you stop touching me" has completely changed tone.

Getting his foot long and it's not gonna cost 5 dollars.

Depending on which Maserati it is, then there might be some merit. Usually they tend to tank in value hard and have maintence/repair costs/times up the ass.

If it's a classic one then sure, probably work out due to rarity/collector value. A new one not so much.

I'm disappointed she didn't spray the cream while it was in the original placement.

I was misled.

Smorkin' an' Porkin'

I think he took the "Get your kids out of the house" thing a bit too far. If he knew it was gonna happen he should have just found a way to cover/stealth things at the house like take the mom or whoever out. Then he could at least play dumb.

Also a park... c'mon, there's usually not the greatest of privacy there outside of a restroom, bushes, or kid's play thingy structure.

Why would you sell a working car for $400

Could have issues or problems that drag it down, but it functions still. Cousin bought a car for 300, drove it for at least 2-3 years before the transmission went out. It then got sold to someone else.

Might as well get rid of something for cheap before something goes out on it, and if it's cheap enough and lasts long enough they probably won't come back for you. Obviously if they're informed of the issues they'll probably be fine with it, such as out of commission AC or something non-vital while being 10-20 years old.

I know someone who saturates their food in salt. Got some chicken from KFC or Popeye's better salt it a bunch, then do it some more 1-2 more times later. Mcdonald's burger? Same deal. Put a buncha salt on it, then do it again. I'm not talking like 1-3 shakes, I'm talking 10 or so minimum, times 2-3.

Doesn't matter what it is, salt salt salt. Then complains of digestive/health issues they've developed. ... Well I don't know what could possibly be a factor.

Don't even try it first, just cake it in salt to the point it's almost like a glaze of salt.

If I'm remembering right future queens disperse before it gets too cold so they can find a place to entomb themselves for a the duration. Usually look like a peanut shell made of mud or what have you.

Does remind me of about 2-3 years ago, a queen decided between 2 windows panes on the second floor was the perfect spot to build a nest. It was cute seeing her and the gradual building of the nest, but knowing what was to eventually become of it I couldn't let it hang around. Think it got up to about 3 or 4 drones and the queen.

Eventually chased em off by using a ziptie through the window's slide gap to break the nest off and deter em. They relocated.

The noise was annoying, but I won't lie it wasn't cute seeing them all look at you and track your hand/finger when you got close. Out of curiousity I even tested moving my hand fast as if to smack the nest. They got real pissy when I did that.

Got sidetracked, but what happens usually is the queen produces a bunch of future queens. They disperse and stock up before making a 'cocoon/tomb' and hibernate. The nest usually dies in some part. The future queens then wake and come out of their hiding spots to find a spot to make a new nest. I wouldn't be suprised if you're getting a bunch of future queens or simply drones stocking up to assist.

Is that a breaker/fuse panel?

If so, no wonder she's rubbing on that wall getting turned on.
