My 200 hour playthrough of Skyrim VR back in 2019 justified my headset purchase and GPU upgrade (gtx 1080, oooh, aaah) all by itself.

You rest your thumbs atop the 9/3 spokes, right in the corner where they meet the wheel. You grab the wheel starting from that position and you've got a good solid 9/3 grip across the equator of the wheel for safety and/or performance.

Your distance from the steering wheel matters a lot too. To check that you can put your arms straight out in front of you while in your normal position. Your wrists should touch the top of the wheel with your arms outstretched like that.

I heard these tips from some professional driver on a TV show. I think it might have been Tiff Needel on Fifth Gear.

Are professionally bred domesticated pet animals not a perk of being a part of society?

As long as it's all offline or receive-only, should she also get any TV channels or blu-ray movies or game consoles she's willing to pay for?

I'm not here to advocate for cruelty or dehumanizing people who have committed crimes. Just wondering about the thought process.

I bet for most people who aren't "internationally infamous monster" level criminals, having a pet to care for could be a valuable part of rehabilitation. Maybe they could even take the pet with them after release to give them incentive to get up and go to work to support it.

In this case though, it's all annoying because we have a very very bad person getting outrageously special treatment for the shadiest of reasons.

Metal is about sex, relationships, breakups, depression, addiction, war, religion, politics, freedom, dragons, and dwarves.

Yep, and we recently switched out our old "air fryer" to replace it with a toaster oven that has convection and an air frying mode. But it can do toaster oven stuff like bake and broil pretty well, and with a wider tray than any air fryer basket.

Our big oven is pretty good too. It has a convection fan and various modes and whatnot. The air frying toaster oven literally duplicates functions it already gives us, but it's worth taking up a large kitchen gadget spot just for the speed and efficiency including sometimes not heating up the house. (I'm in the US, air fryers and toaster ovens use 120V 15A outlets while the oven is on 240V 30+A.)

por que no los dos?

If I drink some coffee to counteract any depressing effects of the weed, then after I take my antidepressant and adderall I can have a pretty good day!

I think you guys may be using different definitions of what it means to act like a christian. If you disagree on that then you'll just keep arguing past each other.

When you refer to acting like a christian that seems to mean acting christ-like, or at least striving to, which makes sense.

The other usage I'm seeing, and which is probably more prevalent in societal/political discussions, is that being like a christian means being lily the actual group of humans who use that label, which often has nothing to do with christ-likedness other than in name.

The juniors on my team at work have been productive as hell lately while we olds ponder over the more obscure runes.

I love this one because his voice comes through SO clearly when I read the text.

In a previous job I once evaluated some returned product that wasn't having the best battery life or wasn't working right. It was specialized expensive equipment that used regular alkaline batteries.

TL;DR: ordinary batteries can have negative voltage if you don't give a fuck and just mix your old and new ones in a drawer before you put them into your high-cost life-saving equipment.

I think it was only like 6 billion, right?

A huge number on its own, but in this context it's nothing.
