The suffering is the point. It’s got nothing to do with morals or human rights or the death penalty or abortion or “Christian values”. It’s all about making “those people” suffer.

Lol. That was 2007. I feel so old.

This is awesome. I’ve been wanting to make a speaker. I think there are a lot of possibilities in a 3d printed enclosure that do not exist with conventional building methods. Something I’d like to try is blending wood and a 3d print, perhaps wood top and bottom with a 3d printed center.

Thanks for sharing.

They are still around in S.E. VA

Seconding the above, I want to say I paid $60 in a pretty average city.

The store I went to is called Jos-a-bank, feel free to look them up but any higher end men’s fine clothing store should have a tailor on site at all times.

There are also dedicated tailor shops you can try looking for one of those.

I don’t think places like dillards or Macy’s will do alterations but I could be wrong.

Worst case the place you go may tell you something like “he only works Tuesdays and Saturdays” or something like that, so you may want to keep trying to get them on the phone, but I’ve not been told that before.

My first email was [email protected]. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made [email protected].

Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it’ll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are [email protected] or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

Blue, no, yellow.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH

But… It’s a legume?!

…the US knew about it but allowed it to happen…

I hear this, and in hindsight it makes sense to say, but put yourself back in the mindset of the late 90s. The US was a fucking giant. The world saw what happened after pearl harbor, I believe it was less of “allowing it to happen” and more of “we were so arrogant that we couldn’t believe anyone would be dumb enough to actually do it”.

Maybe, maybe not. Just depends TBH.

I mean you can probably back up the trailers fine, but all the “stuff” involved with hooking up and unhooking is completely omitted from ATS and ETS/ETS2.

Shifting gears is another thing, I can shift a 6 speed, but if you put me behind a real 18 speed with splitter and range gearboxes, I guarantee I’d be grinding the shit out of those gears, over-rev or lug the engine… Etc.

The popular truck “sims” are not sims, they are basically one step above arcade games. And I say this as someone who likes playing them. They are fun, but they are not sims.

Flight instructors don’t want you to know this one simple trick.

As an avid player of flight sims, probably not too well on a fully loaded plane like a 747 or whatever. They are heavy, react slowly, and the controls are electronic so you can’t “feel” any resistance from the plane. Also the jet turbines take a while to spool up and down so you have to be pretty deliberate with your inputs.

Now if it were something like a smaller GA airplane, as long as it has tricycle gear and you aren’t landing into a crosswind, I feel like it would be fairly successful, and even if you get 10 ft from the ground and stall, or miss the touchdown point by 1000ft or so, you are only going 45-50mph tops at that point so the chances of you surviving are pretty good.

Compare that to a 747 where you’d be going much faster and the margin between landing and stalling is pretty thin, there’s a good chance you’d overshoot the landing point, come down hard, then crash into something at the end of the runway.

Now if it’s a taildragger and you don’t have any real training, there’s a good chance you’ll tail loop and crash once you touch down. You’d probably survive, but it would be ugly.

Edit: that is assuming you don’t smash the brakes and prop strike first.

“flavor” lol

See, my favorite is GNU, for “GNU’s Not Unix”.

I’ve even heard people say “Double-yoos dot”, and even that compressed version is still more syllables than the full thing.

Those are all brown AWD wagons with a manual transmission and come used from the factory.

Was gonna say, I don’t smoke but I was in upstate NY and a guy gave me a $20 to grab him a pack of smokes from a corner store while I was running in to grab a snack, and I thing I got like $1 and change back. I was appalled.

Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ape ancestors.

But apes don’t have tails.

However approximately 25mya the monkey and ape lines split so itust have come from at least that far back.
