Stanley Tweedle is a god  
A warrior and a gent.  
We are not fit to suck his feet  
Or dine on his excrement.  
At night we croon  
By the light of a moon  
Of his courage and his creed.  
Hey ho there he goes  
Oh woe for his foes  
Long live the Tweedle seed.  
Stanley, Stanley  
Top of the hero class  
Stanley, Stanley  
We live to Kiss his Ass!

  • Do you have any baseless predictions for the future that you nonetheless expect to occur?

  • I really doubt we're the only sentient life but we'll never meet any is my bet. The observable universe is mind bogglingly huge. The unobservable is so much bigger. So many stars, so many planets.

  • Fucking gross. I did a year at the deli, hated cutting head cheese. Even the name is disgusting. Only old people bought it.

  • Taste? Probably expired milk. I didn't sniff check as a kid. A mistake you only make once.

    Most disturbing to me even though it tasted okay? I had one of those cardboard cartons of Apple juice* lined internally with plastic/aluminium so you couldn't see inside. Well within best by date. I poured a glass, chugged it. Hot summer day. Decided, eh, a little more why not. A giant gloopy growth plopped out into my glass. I retched.

    Mother of Vinegar I assumed? Not sure.

  • lol, they're $66,000 in Canada.

  • when did you last injure your wenis?

    Jump

  • Can't really remember anything recent. Years ago I borrowed my dad's old bike from the 1980's since mine was in the shop. The handle bars must've had a hairline crack, because they suddenly sheared off and I crashed hard into the asphalt bike path. Scraped up pretty bad including my wenis :(

    I had just enough time to comically stare at my detached handle bars and have a brief moment of realisation before the front wheel did a 90' turn.

  • So he basically started dating you out of the blue without telling you and it's working? Well it's admittedly super funny to read but potentially a bit weird, especially buying you so much stuff. Regardless of how you handle it, yeah they like you.

  • Perhaps making one game per decade is a losing strategey.

    Edit: I heard a million excuses for that over the years from AAA industry, but my counter is just pointing to Capcom. Why can they keep up both output and quality?

  • my usual mechanic just flat-out refuses to service it (because no ODBII)

    Ah yeah, same here. I guess everywhere? There's mechanics here for carbureted classics and moderns of course. Nobody wanted to work on a stop-gap TBI system and nobody kept the old OBD1 scanners that was a reasonable distance from home anyways, certainly nobody local.

    I bought a hacky OBD1 to USB cable from eBay during this ordeal but I was done before it arrived. Did test it out for future use and it works since it came bundled with a CD full of GM scanner profiles. ProTuner software is pretty complicated so there's a learning curve just navigating it. Maybe people make them for Toyota too?

  • They're so spacious

  • Sliding around is one part, the other is the lack of functional headrests in old trucks.

    Idk GMC smoking crack putting those fakers in my 1994 K1500, they're below my neck and not adjustable. Regulatory compromise, no care.

  • and check EVERYTHING. I hate this part.

    Blegh I wasn't gonna share this earlier since it still stings but:

    I just went through it with my 1994 K1500 truck. Head gasket leak fouled every single damn one of the sensors the oddball and short lived Throttle Body Injection system ECU relies on. All of them, I soon discovered. First it was only rough running when cold, then became undriveable. Plus it leaked coolant out the rear before it worsened and got into the oil, so it evaporated into the distributor and MAP sensor for months probably and corroded them into a nice bright green copper oxide.

    One part at a time scouring old forums and watching pixelated old YouTube repair guide videos for advice on why it was running rough after getting the gasket done, especially cold. Eventually got it...$1900 later. Even did the fuel pump. This particular truck model year is worthless even operational so I was definitely weighing my options before that last magical part swap lol.

    Didn't take many pics but here's one of the distributor:

  • I think so but now it's being marketed as a feature which is nauseating.

  • Are you gonna be buying a Steam machine?

    Jump

  • Since I build my own computers and already have a living room PC running Linux, I wouldn't have even for $700.

    I'm curious how it'll sell. Steam Controller is expensive but has high demand. Possibly the same thing happens even if the Steam Machine makes no sense for (probably?) most people posting here.
