Yup! I apologized for my grievous oversight on that important detail but not sure where the post is hiding in the stack.

Sorry, I mis-read somewhere. I was assuming 250k gal. out of 1.5 mil gal instead of barrel. I stand corrected!

You might need to re-calculate :) Assuming this is in a single day (which might have been spread over weeks):

Going “gold” in the software industry just means they have code-locked a build of the game (or application) to be mastered to disc that will be released to the public and often times there is a first day patch to fix issues that were discovered after code-lock or issues that were still in process of being built before…

No Apple policy, just buggy on iOS. Most of my game lock-ups occurred when I had power saver turned on. When rumors circulated that was part of the iOS version having issues, I disabled it and it addressed most of my crash problems (or locking up returning from power saver).

My parents’ 1984 Nissan 2WD 4 cyl. pick-up had an air dam. As a kid, I thought it just looked cool but when I inherited the truck as my first vehicle, I understood it had an actual purpose and learned later on it did help a bit with fuel consumption (iirc around 2 mpg difference but it was a long time ago).

I dunno, I’m pretty sure I could take that grille off that caddy above and use it as a riot shield right now. It wouldn’t hold up to much, but holy hell that is one massive slab o’ shinny grille :)

Exactly right. Past disappointments help grow our experience and help level set expectations going forward. Give enough years and number of failures, expectations can start to become very guarded. But I’m always cautiously optimistic :)

Good way to put it. I’m a long time WoW player and at this point, I’ve accepted that I will always play until the servers die. I’m not hardcore but I do really enjoy much of what WoW has and does.

I am currently at, and have always been, at the acceptance stage. I’m looking forward to the release day partly because WoW will unlock demon hunters and start legion invasion fun times. I’ll play my DH, fight invasion points until I can take no more then fire up Pink Floyd and explore a galaxy and just see what…

Yeah I could see that side of it. I’ve considered making a drinking game out of Battlefield Earth but that meant I’d have to actually see it again :) Maybe I need a few more years, then I’ll be ready.

Battlefield Earth is the only movie I’ve ever actually thought about asking for my money back. Saw it opening night and the entire theater was packed and we all laughed/cringed and dry heaved at the awfulness of it all.

My best friend growing up had a large family and they had a very similar wagon to this and it was a transporter for ALL the kids in the surrounding area.

Thanks for this. I’ve been in the market for a good dash cam. I think it is worth noting that this model does NOT have GPS built in. However, take note that they are offering a GPS enabled mount that goes with this unit for just 21 dollars and as of today 6-17-16 there are only 18 GPS mounts left for order. I’m sure…

I have a 2014 Focus ST and a 2015 Mustang EB (edit: just sold). I can safely say the Mustang is consistently faster than our ST. I can definitely launch the Mustang far better with less wheel spin as well. The ST I’d call quick usually getting me around a 6.1 time in good weather and I’ve snagged a 5.7 in the Mustang…

I owned a 2012 GTI 2 door and I have a 2014 FoST now with the Recaros. Wife and I enjoy the hell out of the ST but I will agree that the GTI uses the available space far better and even though I like the ST interior and layout, the GTI was more comfortable and easy to use day to day. Both in front, back and storage. I…

I just picked up a 2016 F150 XLT Super Crew with the 2.7 EB V6 loaded with a virtual boat-load of nice extras. MSRP was 48k. I was out the door for 36k without even fighting for it.

I can relate. Have 2 or 3 shots of rum or vodka and I could play the absolute hell out of Guitar Hero and/or Rockband. I think it would allow me to relax and just go with the flow of the song and not stress about finger placement and timing and I would do much better. Take one more shot, I would be too relaxed and…

I’ve owned a wide variety of cars and trucks. Current stable is a 2015 Mustang EB and a 2014 Focus ST. My other hot hatches included an 08 WRX and an 08 STi and I owned a 2012 MkVI GTI for a few years.

In the last 6 or so years I’ve been going (a few years with the chance to go twice each year) I found several rides shut down at the same time and some of them for 2 months or longer. Through all those visits I could see they were rotating from area to area and hitting all the big attractions for major maintenance and…
