What current ball today from Storm or Roto Grip is similar to the Roto Grip Hywire? Something with a similar motion but maybe just a tad stronger. My Hy-Wire is finally dying and I am looking for something to replace it with.
Let's have a year ending giveaway :)
3 years have passed since the last giveaway, so I think it is time for a new one. Lots of keys have stayed untouched and are collecting dust. I really hope these games will bring joy and happiness to some other fellow gamers.
Just comment a number between 2000 - 4000 and add up to 3 games you would like to have (in order of preference, as your first choice may be taken before you are picked).
I do my best to send the games out at January 2nd, 2022.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
This post is an effort to address common lies & misinformation being spread about Elon and his companies as social media is full of it.
Elon Musk's family once owned an emerald mine in Zambia
However there is no evidence of Errol Musk (Elons father) owning a Emerald mine. atleast according to Journalist Jeremy Arnold who investigated the allegation.
"Elon Musk is not an engineer"
Technically he does not hold a degree in engineering. However you can still call yourself an engineer regardless of a degree but you can't proclaim to be a PE (professional engineer) without a degree at least in America.
However he did receive a Honorary Doctorate in Engineering and Technology from Yale
He has a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
He works as an engineer Most of his work at SpaceX & Tesla is engineering & design or production related. I don't think its necessary to provide any evidence of this, literally just go and watch an interview of Elon on YouTube and you will realize this.
Youtuber Thunderf00t has done a lot of "debunking" of SpaceX and Tesla or at least he likes to think so. Unfortunately his research is very poor and will deliberately lie because he has a grudge on Elon or maybe he hates Elon's fans i can't tell.
Peter Hague did a great job debunking Thunderf00ts lies.
More debunking videos.
Astro Kiwi: Thunderf00t is still lying to you about SpaceX.

Thankfully he stopped the claw fast enough, but the wound still was nasty. Suddenly he heard a voice blabbering something near the place he “entered” the vents. It was that balloon guy. There was only one way of surviving this and going home: to trust these ugly scary things. He took a small square piece of plastic out of his armor pants, looked at it, and went to rip the claw off one of the bugs.

Dan Hy entered the med bay, mumbling under her breath and articulating with some of her hands. Sometimes you could even hear phrases like “...I’m a beauty, why...” or “...captain is no better...” dedicated to no one in particular.
“Have you found the alien? I’m all prepared for the operation.” – Ooblot said while helping Redleaf with the spacesuit. The plant alien looked in doubt at the air tank and tried to join and turn on the air filters, which he found in the lab storage.
“Yes, we did. But it escaped screaming” – she answered in an annoyed tone. Noticing the struggle of her colleague, she swiftly took filters from his vines, unscrewed a few parts of the suit, and, before they noticed anything, both crewmembers breathed filtered air instead of tanked one.
“Thanks.” – two voices said in gratitude.
“What's with the suits though? Don’t you have aprons for operations? And why our pilot is in one?” – Dan Hy finally looked around and noticed something beyond filters and machine parts.
“Assisting” – Redleaf stated.
“I’m a biologist. Substituting for a doctor with a half a year courses, because bureaucratic rats, which sent us, was thinking it is going to be enough. One thing is for sure though. The blood, any kind of fluids, we may come in contact with, should not contaminate us or be contaminated by us” – slug said, visibly stressed and angry.
“Is it so dangerous?”
“Analysis results show, what creatures bacteria are not difficult to contain. But it doesn’t mean we are going to leave anything to chance. We are going to operate on the alien of mostly unknown origins.” – Ooblot said, covering his and Redleafs suit in antibacterial solution. The smell of alcohol spreading in the room. -“By the way, you should probably leav

Some background context, I hosted Christmas this year for a few of my family members to open presents together. Some of the attending members included my uncle, and my little brother who is 13. This year my parents decided to buy my brother a brand new PC, and I pitched in a couple hundred bucks as well. My parents wanted to go all out so I helped them pick some parts because I’m somewhat knowledgeable about that stuff. Because of the computer chip shortage, the total cost was a bit more inflated than most years and the total came out a little north of $3500.
When it was my brothers turn to open, my uncle immediately interjects and starts calling my brother spoiled. I explained that my brother does really well in school and his music lessons. He is passionate about video games, and has started making Minecraft mods and trying to learn how to program computers. Even though he did not earn this money, he works hard for his age and I think it will be a good hobby and learning investment for him. But my uncle insisted that he is spoiled and entitled, and that we should return it and get him some basketball shoes and a new ball so he can play outside like a normal kid.
At this point I pulled my uncle aside and asked him to keep his opinions to himself, or I would ask him to leave. My brother seemed a little uncomfortable and like he was unsure whether or not he did something wrong in this situation, but we reassured him.
During the rest of the occasion, my uncle made a few more smaller comments when other kids would open gifts, things like “see this is a reasonable gift for Christmas”, etc. After a couple different comments I asked him to please leave because I warned him already to just keep his opinions to himself. Now it’s been a week or two and my brother loves the gift (I helped him set it up!) and we’re really all over this, it’s not a big deal anymore. But my uncle and his girlfriend keep acting as if they’re not welcome at future family events, when I never implied such a thing.
Is my brother spoiled / are my parents dumb for getting him this gift? I don’t think so because he’s a great kid, he did not ask for this or expect this, and I know he would have been just as happy with a $500 PC. It’s also not putting any financial hardship on our family, we’re doing quite well with work from home.
AITA for asking my uncle to leave after warning him to keep hos op

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Falkrise awoke to the deafening alarm. He jumped to the info panel and almost broke it with claws in panic. “Code 42, Code 3 ” – was the only thing his eyes grasped before he stormed out of the quarters.
“Breach of the hull as well as Biters” - he translated to himself.- “Check the pad. Find the source. Gather crew. Escape to shuttle...Pray the shuttle won’t be eaten before we are found if anyone will search for us...”
As soon as he turned the corner he saw Dan Hy and Redleaf running towards him.
“Why the freaking sensors didn’t warn us?! We should have heard siren the moment those freaks appeared on the horizon!!”- Falkrise tried to scream over the alarm to Dan Hy.
“Don’t know. Maybe wires... Maybe... don’t know. The ship is old... But I...”- Poor girl was shaking. Her thoughts were in disarray. Eyes darting in all directions. She knew what breached the hull. Heard too many stories about the Jaws of the Void. And understood the situation to be good to be able to calm down.
“Unimportant. Captain. Orders” – Redleaf tried to find some sense at the moment. But his attempt to stay calm didn’t fool the crew.
“To the shuttle, now!”
Captain checked the datapad on one of his hands. Approximately nine beasts, on the other side of the ship. Busy destroying whatever they see. Ooblot was the slowest of them, so he left right next to the pods. The meaning crew is gathered.
Falkrises was thinking as fast and loud as he could: “Who will pick us up? How to hide from Biters?... First the shuttle. Then I’ll figure it out. Just a little luck is all we need. Just a little luck. Just.. a little...”
A vision of a little creature crossed his mind. Still asleep in its pod and still alive. Halfway to the breached hull at this point. Pods were here. Salvation was two steps away. But it was wrong.
“The little creature is still in the lab. I will retrieve it. Redleaf makes sure everyone escapes.”- captain turned to the pilot.
“No you will die!!!” – Ooblot jumped out of the shuttle, t

##ex-Nature Minister's $14 million bribery investigation reaches court | Offshore firms | Former MP | Mining permits
Anti-Corruption Committee: ex-Minister Aram Harutyunyan took $14M in bribes and laundered it. The scheme involved:
-
Ex-HHK MP Aleksan Petrosyan [aka MAPi Alik]
-
Harutyunyan's subordinate
-
Ex-director of Sevan Psychiatric Hospital
-
Two of Harutyunyan's friends
Harutyunyan was appointed as Minister in June 2007 and had decision-making power in the mining field. He took a $14M bribe from businesswoman Silva Hambardzumyan to guarantee that she would receive a dozen mineral study permits. [this is the same businesswoman who is a key witness against Rober Kocharyan's similar bribery trial]
In January-November of 2008, the miner conducted the studies then transferred a $6M bribe via Harutyunyan's subordinate.
Harutyunyan received the other $8M via offshore accounts in UAE. They laundered it with the help of a volunteer friend Araks Dilanyan who used her account. She split the funds into three pieces and sent them to accounts owned by Harutyunyan's friends and relatives.
The friends and relatives then traveled to UAE where they partially cashed out the funds.
In 2010, the friends wired the remaining $3M to Harutyunyan's UAE account. He then traveled to UAE to cash out the funds and make other electronic transfers.
During the laundering, they used an offshore firm Tarasco (?) Investment Ltd, registered in the British Virgin Islands with a bank account in Zurich. Harutyunyan's subordinate used the same offshore firm to launder another $2M.
The offshore firm and ex-HHK MP's company "MAP" signed an interest-free loan agreement and transferred the funds to ex-MP's business accounts in Armenia. During the next several years, the ex-MP transferred the funds to Harutyunyan with small installments.
(this was not a tutorial)
Additionally, in 2011 Harutyunyan conspired with others to ensure that "Jradzor" small hydro received 24-hour access to water, while violating another firm's rights and causing significant damage.
In October 2018, Harutyunyan's friend -- the Sevan Psychiatric Hospital director, also a suspect -- bypassed Armenia's border checkpoint and illegally crossed the border. In November 2018 he used the Kazbek checkpoint to enter Georgia from Russia. He then fled to Turkey, then the United States.

She works from home and wants a PC that's fast/responsive/not laggy. She doesn't really game but might do some older stuff like the sims. Let me know if there's any changes you'd make or issues I might be missing.
I'd rather avoid a GPU in this market so the igpu will need to run 2, (maybe 3) 1440 monitors without lag. I plan to do a conservative overclock on air. 6500G seems like an obvious choice with the solid integrated gpu but the lack of PCIe 4.0 is a bit annoying for the NVME boot drive. It seems like there's not a huge difference in real world performance though. Less CPU cache might be an issue but not sure.
I considered an i5 11600k but there doesn't seem to be much of a benefit vs the 5600G. 12th gen has a nice bump in performance but I'd rather avoid the mess of efficiency cores and windows 10 vs 11 compatibility.
