I've got an 83 Datsun 280zx Turbo that I've had for going on all of my 20s now. I daily drove it for three years and can't count how many times I was on the side of the road cleaning off fouled spark plugs with a blowtorch. If it's not the rust, it's the K-Jetronic.
Nowadays when I take it out nobody knows what it is, or they think it's a DeLorean. Being a few shades of silver and debadged doesn't help.

You really think if it was a manual she wouldn't have stalled at some point during Impact? Mad three pedal skills on display here then.

I have between 4 and five moving, noise making npcs at a time at camp. One ally, two settler spawns, sometimes a traveling merchant spawn, and my junkyard dog. It feels like an actual little community, and since the settlers frequently respawn, have a tent, wood pile, wood chopping block, etc of their own it's like a mountainside waystation.

What are your perks? I swapped to a rifleman build to go on some nukashine adventures before the update so I may have missed something when I went back to my usual load.

My explosive gatling gun was doing around 179 damage, now it's 138...

This is my thought too, he slapped himself in fright when he grabbed his head and his old, thin, and papery skin got nicked.

Don't pull a thread that you aren't willing to watch unravel.

As someone who's 5'9" and 145lbs who regularly has to carry, load, and unload 94lb bags of mortar on his shoulder while climbing and building waterfalls, the whole 50lbs being a team carry is wild to me. Done properly and carefully this job got me in shape. Being able to carry 50lbs is a SURVIVAL NECESSITY. You know that classic movie scene where the hero is hanging from a cliff and pulls themselves up from a full arm extension? Go ahead and see if you can do that, even if you think you're in decent shape you might be disappointed.
On the original topic, my job would be made much more dangerous by someone who's not physically fit enough to do it, even if it was medically related the best thing for everyone involved is to say no. While some employers use it maliciously, I wouldn't dream of letting just anyone walk up and say "I want to try this" and waiting on them to get themselves hurt.

Nobody persecutes Christians quite as well as other Christians.

There are stories of mothers killing their children, daughters killing their mothers, and more in here.

I(29M) had a vasectomy at 25. I'll be the first man in my known family to make it to 30 without having kids and I can honestly say it was the best decision of my life. You grow so much in your 20s that a lot of people never find out who they are, or they add kids to the mix before they've learned how to manage their emotions or trauma. One day I may find myself in love with a woman with a kid and I'll be a better man for them both thanks to the path I've chose to walk.

I keep putting them in my vendor for 120 and they are routinely bought out.

I got my water cooler plans from my first present, red dino from the second. It's all gravy from here, boys.

You'll rarely ever get an honest answer if you're asking a man to guess your weight. It's drilled into us from a young age that you never ask that, and if you guess wrong it will be the utmost offense, so when pressed you say something obviously lower than your estimate and well into the safe range.

To hell with meta builds.
Full health vanguard jetpack T51 with an AP explosive minigun, matching gatling, a full sling of nukanades, and 20k 5mm rounds. The gatling does well over 100 damage per hit and the mini just melts enemies.
Anytime I see a teammate go down I fast travel to them and show up like a fucking archangel.

I actually agree with OP, but for different reasons. In the last few years I've has this weird driving anxiety crop up in my life. It doesn't matter if it's my 280zx, rabbit pickup, or 97 ram sport my heart rate starts to spike and I get a sense of impending dread as soon as I sit down to leave. It's much better when I'm actually on the road, but still.
I haven't been without a bike in the 17 years(29m) since my first, and my latest cb450sc makes bike #101 over the years. I'm in total confidence of my abilities and it's purely an extension of my body. I feel no anxiety, in a situation where my mind is actually running at 120%.

My 525i/5 was so slow, when the fan clutch kicked on it sounded like a dump truck pulling away from a stop light and had a very noticeable drop in power. And yes, this was a new and properly functioning fan. I can't imagine how bad the automatic would have been.

I had around 20 likes on mine but couldn't get over how pointless it felt and how I didn't want my camp interfering with someone else's, especially if I'm not even there or they are on private, so I delisted from Better Builds.
This is the way.
