Premium isn't just "better" gas anyway

Engines are tuned for different octane levels. Most cars should never use premium

Most cars should never need to use premium. You can use premium all day in a car that's designed for regular, you just won't get any benefit out of it*.

Premium means it has a higher octane rating, which is a measure of how resistant it is to detonating (bad, wrecks engines) instead of burning really fast (how gas engines are supposed to work). High octane gas can be compressed more before it can detonate, which allows the engine to extract more power from the same volume of gas. The downside is, it's almost always more expensive gas, and the engines are usually higher strung.

Low compression engine, high octane premium gas: still burns normally like gas should. Costs you more.

High compression engine, low octane regular gas: KABAM, hundreds of times a second. Creates component-rich exhaust.

However, most modern cars with engines that want premium will limit power in a way that allows you to use regular gas without self-destructing, if you're broke or you just pulled into Buttass Nowhere, WY and they don't have premium. It should say on the gas cap or cover flap or in the owner's manual if you can do this. If you can't find that, don't do it!

*I have an older motorbike that says it's supposed to use regular gas, but because the fuel system wasn't designed for E10, I try to use ethanol-free when I can find it. Where I live that's almost exclusively premium and fewer places carry it every year.

From the previous page, the bottom right examples - Are those colored plastic sheets supposed to go over the flashes? To what purpose? Would that actually have a noticeable effect on the final picture?

They're for color balancing your flash. If you use tungsten lighting you want to use a yellow gel, if you are using fluorescent lighting you want blue. Golden hour, yellow, twilight, blue. So on and so forth.

Or if you've got external flashes you can put purple on one side and cyan on the other for instant cyberpunk.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

gently caress, every poly person I've known has been into either D&D, or Vampire: The Masquerade.

Literally the whole reason to be poly is to have a regular D&D group, and as a bonus you have more sex.

I don't really see a downside.

You say D&D isn't fun but that's because you don't have a regular group.

If you think playing D&D prevents you from having a lot of sex, think about what people would join your D&D group for sex.

I will say my regular DnD group got so much better once we kicked the one poly guy out. For being so free and all poly people can be worse than religious people sometimes for trying to push their beliefs on you.

Critical fumbles are reserved for when you roll a D20. 3D6 is for determining damage, so 18 to the rectum is pretty devastating. :goonsay:

It does make it so much easier. I GMed for friends of mine and their SOs and they all lived together so there was no "oh I can't make it today" because like, the only person who had to travel was me and they lived 10 minutes away.

AND they had enough kids to do snack runs, or roleplay as goblins for me.

lol scheduling with poly people is way more difficult. they cancel plans with about thirty seconds notice if they think they can go gently caress somewhere else
