Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight' - IGN
  • If you're a new homeowner and either have a lot to fix or a lot of projects in mind, a pickup is great. Daily driving it is useful for when you have to grab materials after work. I opted for an older $2000 Ranger 4cyl 2wd earlier this year for that so I'm not killed by fuel economy. It gets 20mpg on my commute but I do also split that with a 50mpg motorcycle. It's also great for when you see random bulky things on the side of the road you want. I did start with a 4x8 trailer but it's not as convenient. I admit, part of that was because my wife s car was the only one with a functional hitch.

    But I'm talking a Ranger. Like an F-050. 115hp. This little guy has hauled so much already. The only thing it can't technically do is tow a car and I don't have the capital left to buy a nonrunning project car. I've been eyeing the new Maverick in hybrid form. But maybe by time I have the cash for such a new vehicle I won't be doing reno projects anymore

  • Gaming today
  • Does it have transition animations or is it actually smooth? Asking from Elite Dangerous where the transition sequences feel pretty immersove to me. Each solar system is an instance with a wormhole jump between. Sublight and FTL have a charge/dropout sequence. The worst is switching between ship/rover/foot where the screen goes black and you hear footsteps. So what does SC do?

  • Trump Calls Emergency Meeting to Come Up With Sexist Nickname for Kamala Harris
  • Politicians always skip states.

    No candidates are actually relatable, they're just lying

    Conservative policies are par for winning democratic candidates

    Every candidate has to act like they're going to win. At what point did she seem like it was owed? Was it after she won the popular vote but lost the electoral?

    What do you have from before 2015? Follow up, was Bernie your pick for 2016? Genuine question, not using it as a punchline

  • Pa. EV owners to start paying $200 in taxes next year | Today in Pa.
  • That's not a very lofty breakeven for EV owners coming from hybrids. I don't know how ex-hybrid owners compare to those only chasing the latest tech trends or those coming from comparable luxury cars. I doubt the people who bought it for acceleration are significant.

    All that to say, seems fair. The roads have to get fixed and there's a case to only charge the users. There's also a case to not make the cost of entry to a public service any higher, but that's rooted elsewhere. It will be $250 the year after and adjusted for inflation after that. So not that great, but electricity is still way cheaper than the gas itself if you can charge at home.

  • Trump Calls Emergency Meeting to Come Up With Sexist Nickname for Kamala Harris
  • It's not funny because this tactic works. Maybe not in such a short timeline, but it worked on Hillary Clinton. Ask any republican what they think of her and they'll tell you she's a bitch. Ask them how long they've thought of her as such and it'll be over 12 years. Ask them why and the only solid response they'll have is Benghazi and maybe a crack about not satisfying Bill. She has been vilified for mundane things to turn her into a wholly annoying person that actually hurts her public image.

    So while I'm with you, it's fun to pick apart this insult to show how boring it is, I can't help but fear it's effectiveness. This is coming from the group that thought Hillary would start a war every month. You know, because all the other wars, all under men, were naturally occurring or something.

  • Jack Black announces new movie ‘School of Spineless PR Management’
  • His partner in Tenacious D, Kyle Gass, had his birthday the day after the Trump assassination attempt. When asked what he wished for his birthday live on stage, Kyle said "don't miss Trump next time".

    Jack canceled the remaining shows and has posted some huge social media posts about how terrible that joke was and how upset he is.

  • Day 2 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • Idk who down voted, so here's one up vote.

    I used to be part of such wagons. As I got older, I lost the time available to be so picky. I started with Unity and had a good time. I've had a good time with each subsequent entry through odyssey (haven't played further yet). The same type of people complaining about RPG AC complain about Ubi's other series, Far Cry. It's ironic that people vehemently argue whether FC3 or 4 is better while both were departures from 2 which was a drastic departure from 1.

    It's a game. If you have fun, you're good. If it's compelling enough to keep you playing, they're good. I really enjoyed Odyssey, moresoe than Origins. I do wonder if Origins was a sacrificial game that conditioned me to the RPG style, but I don't have time to revisit it. I know I really enjoyed the sailing warfare mission as Aya so I was certainly happy to find that in Ody. (I'm actually currently 2/3 thru AC4). Still waiting on time for Valhalla and mirage...

    PS: whichever version you played between 13 and 18 years old will always be the perfect one. Same goes for music. Or any interest, really.

  • love how you don't have to alter serious rightwing memes to meme them
  • Without movie context: blonde white man, traditional haircut, general frustration, devout determination

    With movie context: he's pissed that Barbie has so many freedoms and superior rights. It's a woman's world. Males are lower class and serve the women. And if you stop the movie 2/3 through, Ken/men take over the world in Barbie's absence and take their revenge to live happily ever after. Conservative men tend to think the world has already been taken from them since they're no longer supposed to catcall women walking, slap their secretaries' asses, and generally blame this generally progressive trend for equal rights/freedoms as the reason they're so unsuccessful in life. They don't blame the economy, capitalism, imperialism, unsustainable growth, misrepresented postwar success, or politicized religious takes; they've been brainwashed to identify women as one of the outgroups taking away their resources in a zero sum game.

  • No PS3 backwards compatibility
  • There's some weird online connection issues on 360 that occur with certain modern routers. You get dropped randomly from the game. Annoyingly, the emulated 360 on One doesn't skirt around the issue. It was annoying for Borderlands but made Left 4 Dead worthless on anything besides easy

  • How is it possible that praline pecans have less calories than regular pecans?
  • A low-carb food isn't useful on its own because, as you pointed out, the fat/calorie count is usually huge. However, if you can stick to a full ketogenic diet, low-carb actually works for weight loss - ketosis isn't dependent on a caloric deficit. Yes, most casual-but-dedicated dieters are still going to mess up other things with bad fats and excessive salts like making jerky roll ups in mozzarella dough while forgetting to stuff themselves with vegetables. Your body will take a few days to figure out how it's supposed to get energy if you're not supplementing with dietary sugars, but it does eventually. So while yes I roll my eyes at too many requests for low-carb items, I have to appreciate their misunderstanding resulting in my improved food options.

    Because that's how I dropped 40lbs in 6 months without changing anything else in my life and while still having tasty food without guilt. 235>195 5'10 M

  • Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump
  • Remember that time a bunch representatives wore bandages over their assholes because it was stylish to match Louis XIV's anal fistula bandage back in the late 1600s? Seems like they really think the have the Sun King again, the self-titled center of the universe
