Good read, regardless, fuck you with the best intentions. The left turn part is bullshit. Yes, the pillar is thick. But fuck man is the drivers neck broken? Like lean forward and/ lean left. A blind spot isn't just over your shoulder. It wherever you don't have a visual. Move your damn head, eliminate the blind spot. As for the truck hoods part. They say it's to look meaner. No, that's the job of the bumper, grill, and headlights. It is practical, if anything. Each model from 1/2 ton, 3/4ton, and 1 ton size have different engine and drivetrain configurations. Okay, with a cylinder turbo gas engine there is lots of empty space. But what about a big inline 6 diesel or even a Ford V8 powerstroke diesel? Now add room for a front axle for 4wd, and a 8spd 10spd transmission behind it for tighter EPA regs. What happened in 2007? Mandatory diesel particulate filters and regen systems and exhaust gas coolers had to be put in. Gota make room for that. Then, in 2009 , the DEF became mandatory. gota make room for all that as well. Look under the hood of a cummins dodge or even worse yet, ford power stroke. There is absolutely no space under the hood for anything. It's jam-packed all the way to the top.

A simple solution would be a front camera that are on from stop to 50kmph amd you know not being a lazy fucking meat bag and moving your head around a few inches forward and to the left.

Side note everyone likes say "just buy a van for work" but vans have just as high of a hood

Thank you, that is solid advice. 60fps is good enough especially that most of the gaming will be done on a 1080 plasma. Is buying stuff used worth it or is it a you run the risk of getting burned?

[-] Mpatch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks ill look into that. What would I realistically lose by going to ddr4.

Because I don't want to buy a built pc, I'm using it as a starting point for what specs/ parts I'd need in order to build something good. I don't know much of much.

Damn I was hopeful that it would be over kill but if games already need this much power. Well damn

Amazon did me dirty with luna and rug pulled GOG from the library. I've been playing KCD2 for the past while I don't do much gaming. Life doesn't give me time so I only get a few hours a week. But still it was my one of few mental escapes. Regardless, I looked into other cloud gaming options and said fuck it and fuck them. I'm going to buy a pc. It's been years since I've kept up with what the hell is what . The most up-to-date I am is that I'm gona pay, pay enough to have to hide from the wife.

This seems like over kill for playing most games I'd do on ultra but I don't know. Plus it be nice to not lust over new titles that I may not be able to run like I did with my previous machine. (Laptop, i7 4700mq gt 740M) which i still use on the regular.

Almost all of my play will be done on a 60" plasma tv. Maybe at some point I'd play on a fancy 4k monitor but that's far away. Because I like sitting in my bed at night and playing with a controller.

Budy I hear you. It's hard to find good trades. I'm in trades and fuck me if I'm not constantly embarrassed for them more often then not. It doesn't matter what time and money you offer, if the guy is shit the guy is shit no amount of money will or time will fix that. They should have invested their own time and money a long time ago to improve and get better at their trade/craft skill. Worse of most of the time they don't even know they are doing a shit job because no one told them or called them out.

Is this a shitty bot or just a fucking stuned goat. Babling over nothing with no point to it.

Amen bring the down votes to many sheltered folks on this platform.

[-] Mpatch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes. Sometimes driving through down town, I see a specific type of person where you just know these are the fucking morons you spend time arguing online with. Completely out of touch with reality but claim to be all wise.

Lol frogs there evolved immunity to radiation, nah this is probably some where worse. Like Louisiana.

You forget, we are animals. And deep inside we still have those primal moments. Where don't fuck with my chip or I'll fuck you into the afterlife.

It's been there for months now. It happend shortly after I painted the walls. I'm jot going to fix it because why. Kids will slam the door again anyways. Rather a hole in the wall than having to replace hinges or a door.

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
