I live on the edge of the soda / pop line in western NY. I grew up firmly in soda land, and that’s what I call it.

What is pop? That’s your daddy. Or music. Or goes the weasel. Certainly not your beverage, man.

At least we don’t call everything coke, I guess.

SOMA is the bomb. I came here to post this.

We observed the higgs boson just 20-ish days off of the maya’s predicted date for 2012 if you factor in leap years, which they did not account for.

They somehow knew we were going to observe quantum phenomena and collapse realities around this point in history. We broke something by observing the state of that particle.

We finally had to break down and accept a smart TV as our last purchase. I didn’t want anything like that on my network. It never gets updates, it never talks to home, it never asks me to agree to anything. The way a display should be.

I do have a few IOT monitors, but they are relegated to the banishment VLAN and are unaware there is anything else on network in the house.

For those who want an dumb TV, you want to shop for a commercial signage display. It’s what a TV should be.

Projectors are also a good option if you want a huge picture with a simple display.

*Because *I replied to a comment that says “that’s a download button”.

I made no other comment, and what I said is correct.

I’m blocking you to stop you from wasting any more of my time because you can’t read.

I said none of that. I don’t know why you’d assume any of the above from an obviously simplified laymans’ explanation of the concept of a download. I’m well aware of this, but my target audience may not be. Write for your audience, not for you.

That’s called an upload, literally the opposite

Where’s Shoresy

To download is still to save to one’s disk.

That right there belongs to scrapper bob.

scrapper bob always has a rusted, beat up, 20 year old pickup, often pulling a dump trailer of the same vintage.

scrapper bob always has gates, boards, and other flat objects in his truck and trailer to make cargo walls, so scrap can be piled sky high with no proper tie downs.

scrapper bob is often seen creeping through neighborhoods looking for curbside toilets and sinks to shatter to take just the metal.

Scrapper bob does not give a fuck.

Old mechanical injection diesels use the same principles of physics as the new ones do, just with electronic timing and fuel injection. I mean, the engine may on this stuff at least once. For some length of time. You can also do pretty much anything at least once. It’s the consequences that are the issue. You’re just doing the damage slower by diluting the fuel that doesn’t belong.

LMAO, right? THE NERVE

No they won’t, unless they’re built with a gasoline based engine, which almost no one orders, because the mileage to fuel ratio, cost, and power are terrible for OTR hauls.

Diesels will run on lots of less refined oils using only the heat of compression, like kerosene and fuel oil, as well as being able to run on their own oil (diesel runaway). However CNG, Propane, Gasoline, and other commonly sparked fuels will, in very short order, catastrophically destroy your diesel engine because they detonate at much lower compression than diesels require.

Furthermore, you’d ruin your high pressure fuel pump as gasoline doesn’t have the required lubricity. The injectors would probably be fine, but your pump and your cylinders/pistons/crank/rods/mains would be having extremely bad days.

I mean, it will run on gas once…

Peterbilts don’t run on gas

Father?

Rain or Thunder is very calming to fall asleep to. Though most often it’s with a TV show on. Something I’ve seen a bunch before and can nod off to, without missing anything. Just comfort noise.

no mo cuomo

Housecat. Cats are always in charge.

Bocce

Billiards/Pool/Cue Sports (personal fav)

Darts

Curling ok I was wrong about this one. Seemed pretty laid back but it sounds more intense than I had thought!

I’d hazard to suggest playing cards or board games, still has the element of challenge/sport, but doesn’t require too much exertion.

Possibly E-Sports if you’re into that sort of thing. Let the game console / computer do the running.
