@rallywrench Oh, yes...

LOUD NOISES!

@3point8isgreat said in Funny billboard around town:

@rallydarkstrike I'm not sure I've ever seen such a nice and cheerful message look so sinister.

100% agreed! Haha!

@smallbear Well, breaking bad barely made it into a pilot in the beginning.

@captdale-is-secretly-british It's werid, had it happen twice on my Dad's Vette with an LS1. Never had any issues before either, maybe I messed it up? Can't tell you how anxiety inducing it was to get the call for the second time it leaked...

@frinesi2 We have looked at them, same problem as the 4Runner. Most Japanese midsize SUV's aren't built for height.

@stuckmtb I do not normally like the rear of the clownshoe, but that wang makes it look much better. I am much more for the Z4 coupe.

@futurendowner Need more MG content

@carsoffortlangley I had made a bunch of changes to the site last evening, then logged off and was laying bed and brought it up on my phone and it asked me? I said hell yes! I'd love to take credit, but nothing I did triggered that.

This is my wife's fire truck (and ambulance).

@mm54 said in Holy frick..I don't think you can call this a thumbnail:

Unsure of the solution at this time.

You have to upload a very small photo to a host, or just choose a photo from your post and deal with the fact that it's going to be square. I have taken one of my post photos and cropped it square and uploaded it just so I can have some control over how it appears.

I meant more of a solution to prevent it from happening if someone doesn't know any better. Long-term it shouldn't be possible to more or less break the page by linking to a large image - but right now it's pretty low priority.

Its so happy looking! Even if it's not actually happy.

This is good encouragement to get to work on making some lizard friendly gardens at my house. 4 legs is much cuter than 6+.

@Roundbadge

I have a good feeling if you reread Raph's portion of the eulogy it will seem more than likely Torch lost track of the origin. There are only so many hours in the day and quite a few deadlines to meet. If it really worries you put a small personal copyright* in the bottom right hand corner of anything you share online that might be used without permission. To someone in Jason's position that move renders it unusable or at least requires permission before use.

*This is a very tricky subject you should educate yourself on. Professionals submit and pay for registered protection of their images which is legally enforceable. Individuals rights are more easily lost as you appear to understand.

@rallydarkstrike Hehehehehe

@454ssracetruck That's gonna be a riot, can't wait to see that finished.

The B2 still looks like something from another world after all these years...

This is an amazing action shot! I love the way it is kicking up the bright red dust in contrast to the green and blue background with the black car.

Welcome @adamftw ...it takes a surprisingly short time to get used to things! 🙂

Feel free to go peruse the User Guide for a brief overview of everything!

@davesaddiction said in Hawaii Rental 2017 (Testing 1-2-3!):

@rallydarkstrike Good deal. Was hoping that was the case, and that it’s not saving 2 big images on the server when you upload a thumbnail, then upload the same picture to include in the post (wonky from a UX standpoint - but is a nice option at times to have a separate thumbnail that’s not part of the main post, I guess).

I believe the separate thumbnail thing is just how things worked with this NodeBB forum setup and, as it's a bit of a pain to try and change, and we have bigger fish to fry right now in terms of bugs and setup, we just let it be for the time being...

The big thing with thumbnails right now is trying to sort the massive-size thumbnail LINKING. lol

@415s30 said in DOTS and Doggo:

@rallydarkstrike I like the dark skin for the site, I'm trying it out.

Yup, it's my preference too! Currently the editor is still in the style of the light theme even on the dark theme, but that will get sorted eventually.....sortof further down the priority list! 🙂

@3point8isgreat Wow, those last dog ones are insane!

I laughed out loud at that Squirtle... 😛

@Peter_Black I'm with everybody else, go for it! No harm in having a 'Best of' collection of old articles here! I've got to do the same from my posts...

@exage03040 said in Oppo Dinner Continues!:

@tonicipriani
Mmmmmmmmm. Looks great!

You should switch your home page in the Sort BY [top right below the header where profile is] drop down to Topics: Newest to Oldest.

Then it acts like Kinja cycling posts instead of a forum where dinosaur threads get revived by activity. I should see if jminer can make it default.

I'm aware of that... but what I mean is we can start having stickied threads.

Forum vs Blogposts I suppose.

Do you think we could get like Jbh or some of the others here?

@aestheticsinmotion

A couple months, It'll eventually pass. I do have to look at the bike every time I leave and enter the house which always eats at me.

As I mentioned before, but careful out there in the winter. Your tires will have less grip at all times because of the temperatures, it's dark and rainy, and drivers will not be looking for you.

Something for everyone

@rallydarkstrike

Wait, that wasn't as hard as I expected. I didn't look up the obvious because I assumed it wouldn't be there. It appears to be different than the other one.

@rallydarkstrike aaah yeah..

@stef-schrader said in Greetings From Rally Chicken:

I wish I was that happy, but my life is crap. Everyone else seems to be able to get ahead in life, and I'm just...here.

Now now, everyone else seems to believe triple mortgaging a house and leasing a string of vehicles costing 3x their actual salary is actually getting ahead. Don't go jumping out in front of any rare vehicles and keep your chin up.

If you don't play with the pull-back cars at Walgreens did you even go to Walgreens?

I'd probably track the black, gullwing Merc, daily the DB5, and crush the red Mercedes truck at the top. I'm not big on big Mercedes vehicles, though that may be a hot take and a bad opinion.

If you're flying Southwest they're keeping the middle seats open until December 1st, though if it makes you feel better I just got off a plane and I have no Covid. I think I read somewhere that it's safer to be on a plane, with recycled and filtered air, than in a grocery store (which in FL where nobody cares is probably true). Happy and safe travels.

My apartment complex (also in FL) spits out to one of those six-lane highways and is directly across from a different complex. I absolutely hate turning left, which sucks because that's the direction the grocery store and gas station are.

I'm not fast enough mentally to keep up with a live conversation, so Discord was a big no for me from the start (though I still keep it open just in case).

I'm so excited for Oppositelock the Movie!

I just ate but now I want sushi... how could you do this to me and my wallet?

Assuming I have around 400 bucks to flip a car, I'd buy a $300 piece of crap (preferably one that runs well enoug) and see if I can't make it look like a $350 car... not much to flip, and I don't have the tools/know-how to flip anything other than cosmetics and maybe a few loose bolts.

@rallywrench me too! Long live Oppo!

@sony1492 that's the one!

@britsnswedes-was-minigti Neat! My last year of HS got cut short BEFORE the art shows and I was much disappoint.

@Mark-Tucker That sticker is amazing! Also, welcome! Take a gander at the User Guide if you need a little overview! 🙂

I remember now too. For some reason I got confused on the direction of travel as I recall you shipping your car FROM Europe to the USA

@Bloody-the-resident-shitposting-saffer Welcome to the fray! Check the User Guide if you need any help getting acquainted with things!

@doodon2whls said in Wow, whodathunkit, but here we are ! Divorced from Jalopnik. 😞:

It's really crazy how the times they are changin'.. I'm here for the Opponauts...

Will we be able to port over the long history of posts ??? We can't lose the historical encyclopedic knowledge base... I have sooo many memories from the Oppo-Halls-of-Greatness
20131109_074709.jpg

Hey! Welcome!

Well, the Jalopnik staff have told us we'll get access to an ATOM feed...I'm not super IT-knowledgeable, so I am not sure what all that means we'll get to save. I can't find the links now, but if you do a search there are currently a few mentioned methods to back posts up if you knew of individual posts you wanted to save?

Hyphen sounds more sophisticated than dash...

@italianjobr53 Tolkien

Appropriate for today.
Long live OPPO!

Many happy Miatas! 😄

Can confirm....my local town of Mahone Bay has one...it's in the center of a small intersection:

@jminer I reposted the photos with an 800 px long side instead of 1,000. I think it works much better.

@sn4cktimes I found these by total accident. Sometimes that's what it takes.

Its not on consoles yet...and yeah it does seem to need a beefy system to run it
Check this vid for some lower/mid range graphics cards comparisons for teardown

@rallydarkstrike 120 wouldn't happen if going up a long hill though! But yeah, plenty fast for the chassis all things considered, even if it's super buzzy over 80kph or so. 5th gear is only 1:1 haha

@engineerwithtools There were plenty of times I wished we were in a hotel instead of at my grandparent's house (or cousin's or uncle's). Sleeping on the floor or on a couch might have been fun as a 3-yr-old, but it definitely lost its luster after I became a teenager.

@davesaddiction sweet

@samv8 I was about 3 months late on mine. I only drove about 300 miles in that time so I didn't feel too bad.

Hey, welcome @flatisflat ! 😄
Feel free to take a look at the User guide to help uou get the lay of the land!
https://opposite-lock.com/topic/170/the-hyphen-a-user-guide

@nomdeplume That happened to my original burner. At some upgrade it dropped my account. So I made a full-fledged one. Then it stopped working on the FP. Not because I did anything dumb, but just stopped. But by that point I was far deeper into Oppo than Jalp. So meh, no shits given.

@ttyymmnn Huh. TIL. Also, if that wasn't called the "Hummingbird" it was missed opportunity.
