    I'm off today, so I decided to make a PVC stuttertone air horn.

    I'd say I did alright, though it really needs more pressure, as I can only get about 90 PSI out of my ancient compressor.

    hahhahaha nice!

    I was wondering, why do configs like 'the fastest Hiroshi sbr4' get more reviews and downloads than skin packs in general? (Not buthurt about 2 reviews on my mod) , but I was just wondering why. Is it because there are so many skin packs or users who make skins themselves and think nah, I don't care, or is it the type of users in this forum who like fast and lazy tuning things better than visual changes?
    Sorry for bad grammar, on phone and I'm not a native speaker

    Personally I don't care about car skins, they are nice to have in scenario's for world building but outside of that they make little difference to me. Although that isn't to say that they are bad, just not interesting for me. So I can only assume that is part of why they don't get as much attention. I can't speak for the tuning mods that exist, since I have never downloaded one of them either. For me I only download map mods and very occasionally a vehicle, sadly not too many are of good quality.

    Anyone else getting these weird visual glitches at the start of YouTube videos? I only properly noticed today when I was watching YouTube in computing. (had a supply teacher, task took 5 mins to do wa hey) I noticed it on my Laptop and my main PC today, only started happening recently...

    (incase anyone was wondering why I was watching Gabe the Dog, I have a boredom playlist and a bookmark folder full of shit)

    Took advantage of the school's 750mbps symmetrical internet connection today also, downloaded a bunch of Windows ISOs to mess around with at home to a flash drive.

    Well at least you are getting better ratings. Even though you seem to have put a lot more effort into your mod in general I think skins get less downloads. Similar to how lots of people buy a laptop or phone but very few put a vinyl skin on them. Some of those laptops and phones will be utter trash but will still sell more than the vinyl skins. Is that because the skins are bad? no, its just a more niche market.
    The most downloaded skin has been downloaded 6000 times, the most downloaded "mods of mods" has 86000 downloads, that is more than 10x more.

    Although I am honestly astounded at how many people downloaded that faster sbr4 mod.

    One issue that I do have with the repo is that it is fairly bad at promoting fresh good content. Highest rated will find you a random new mod that has one 5 star review. Most downloaded is a feedback loop meaning it never changes. The others are simply not that useful for finding good content. The featured list is useful I guess. Maybe it would be neat if there were some other sorting categories.

    NO! If the software in these leaks is true, no more Motorola (or MotoNovo as I call it now) for me. Horrible. Looks like HUAWEI or some shit...

    It's an issue with the latest Nvidia drivers. Either downgrade to older drivers or update Chrome (Google made a work-around until Nvidia fixes things). Temporary fix is to disable hardware acceleration in your internet browser's settings.

    Some people take bad reviews as motivation for better work.
    Then you have people like this guy. Yes, anyone who doesn't like it is a "hater" because you're a special snowflake and the world should be your own little safe space where everything is wonderful.

    Saw someone in a ricer picking their nose while he was looking inside the car audio centre.... His car was probably the same colour as his fingers...

    Out of all the stories I hear, I see almost non-existent douchebaggery at my school. Interesting.

    Same. When I got my VW Fox, a guy who owns a foxbody Mustang asked if he could do a lap of the parking lot, then said it was a cool car.

    In other news, I bought a fountain pen on eBay and recently got the notification it had been delivered. I decided to check the tracking number on USPS instead of eBay and it says it was delivered to Kentucky, which is in almost completely the wrong direction from where I live.

    Update: Welp, turns out I was looking at the wrong tracking number. eBay's international shipping centre is in Kentucky.

    At my school only around 5-10 people had cars, everyone else walked, got dropped off or took the bus. Most of them were new cars (Clio's Corsa's etc). Even if I could have had a car I would have probably still taken the school bus because it was a decent laugh.

    about 60% of people in my school are complete bags of douches who don't bother with learning

    mainly because its so easy to get in to, if you fail almost everything, you can still get entry to the basic academic things
    but the metal/car division is a lot harder to get in to.

    the main problem is that the metal/car division
    and the basic academic stuff/sociology division are in the same freaking house

    Indonesian railroad crossings are weird... Their crossing "bells" sound exactly like Dutch police sirens.
