Where did you get the pic? that might help track down what the car is.

 

EDIT: I think it's a toyota gt86 but i can't tell for sure.

GT86 also known as Scion FR-S.

@sivispacem: Are you sure? it looks more similar in my opinion to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

[sivispacem]

Pretty sure its the GT86, though the gif is very small. It doesn't have the kink in the rear window like the Hyundai, and the wheels match the GT86

 

[Pyrrhic]

It could also technically be the Subaru BRZ, as they use the same shell as the Toyota,

When they sentence someone to die via lethal injection why do they sanitize the injection site with an alcohol swab? Are they afraid the aforementioned individual is going to contract a bacterial infection?

Number of minor legal inconveniences that all together add up to it being easier to just sterilize the needle and the site. US Constitution protects from "cruel and unusual punishment." That means some extra hoops to jump through to make sure you don't open up yourself to an appeal. There could also be law suits from the family. Yes, it won't matter, the person is going to die anyways, but the family can always claim mysophobia, or something similar, and sue for undue stress or whatever. Finally, there is always a possibility that the execution could get called off at the last moment, when the needles are already in place. That's another avenue for a law suit if the execution is postponed and the prisoner gets an infection.

 

If all of these potential complications are completely avoided with a swab of alcohol, why not just do it?

Very informative and well thought out answer. Thank you kindly for your help!

Simple question: Do you use Le Chatliers equilibrium symbol for all Chemical Equations?

I mean the opposite facing arrows.

[Mr.Mordecai]

Two questions.

 

How do i get over a girl I like for 3 years? She likes this 18 year old kid, and i wanna just forget about her, yet i keep thinking i might have a shot.

 

Is it normal to accept the fact that I'm probably gonna be single for a while since no girls like me, and I'm not that interested in other girls except for her? (I liked a sh*tload of girls in the past couple years)

 

I'm 15.

I think the best thing you can do in that situation is cut her out of your life completely, it'll be the easiest thing for you to do in the long run.

No, just ones that are actually in equilibrium of some sort. Of course, equilibria are extremely common, so I can see how you'd get that impression.

Any good guitar players here? I literately just started playing yesterday and I need some pointers about some stuff.

 

1. How can I switch between chords and sh*t more fast and accurately? I'm learning the rhythm guitar part of this song right now and I always seem to mess up when switching between chords.

 

2. How can I make my fingers faster so I can play more complex songs?

 

3. What effect pedals would you suggest I get for playing pop-punk and metalcore

 

Thank you in advance!

You're probably not going to like the answers to the first two

 

1. Practice. Told you, you wouldn't like it but that is the only way, also doing it this way increases your 'hand stamina', that is you can keep playing for longer, especially if you are practicing with an acoustic.

 

2. Practice. Now you just hate me for saying it, there are some people that say you should practice that coin flipping between your fingers thing, to be honest that's wasting time you could be playing your guitar. Best advice is start off with slower songs and work your way up, the Blues scale is best to start off with as it's slower and gets you used to changes, then work your way up.

 

3. Fuzz, Overdrive and Distortion, the latter two pretty much do the same job, except the distortion effect is more fine tuned effect which is good if you have a Solid Body Guitar or a Guitar with single pickups (Strats, Tele's etc), as it can give a more 'toppy' sound. Overdrive is better suited to hollow body Guitars or those with Humbuckers (335's, LP's etc). Fuzz is good for all round, but is exactly how it sounds which is Fuzzy, think Jimi Hendrix and you've got Fuzz. Some pedal makers to make specialist stompboxes for Metal and punk the best bet is to go to a Guitar shop (if you can find them these days) and try them out.

What all categories can a member get nominated in the GTANET Annual awards? Give me a list please.

They can change from year to year and you would have to be active in that category within the year to be nominated. Annoucements Forum will have all the previous awards announcements for your viewing pleasure, that link should open the forum with topics listed from the beginning (or as near as possible).

 

As for nominations, you'd have to be funny to win the Funniest Member title (aka The GTA_stu Award), and you'd have to actually mod cars/maps/etc to be nominated in a modding category award.

[Yossarianite]

Thanks...........

[Pyrrhic]

Are there any BB/HTML codes that do the thing where it is small writing that is higher like the Trademark symbol?

[Greenline]

On this forum you can use

 

 

Example.

 

On a Mac it's Alt+2.

 

[Pyrrhic]

 

Thanks Greenline.

[Crokey]

You can also use Alt+0153, that is press and hold alt whilst typing 0153.

 

Here is a lsit of other 'alt' codes

[Jay]

Ah, alt+0173. So many laughs. So many swear filters passed.

[Pagelzilla]

This is a grammar question. When writing a list like "this, this, this, and this" do you include a comma before the word "and"?

 

"this, this, this, and this" vs. "this, this, this and this"

 

No matter how many papers I write I can never remember this rule.

It does not matter if you include a comma before you write the word 'and'. There is no rule dictating whether a comma must be placed or not. It's up to you whether you want a comma before 'and' or not. I was taught in elementary school not to use the comma, but if I did use it, it would still mean the same thing.

[t0grul]

No. Comma is never used before "and". But hey i never use for it.

E: beaten.

No comma, as you are no longer separating the items you are listing and wrapping it up, unless you are explaining two separate lists in the same sentence for example.

 

"this, this, this, and that, that, that and that."

[Pagelzilla]

Got it. Much appreciated

it's a hard song for a first song man, most of the chord changeovers in that are slides, and most other songs they're not. changing chords takes a hell of a lot of practice, just stick in at it. making your fingers move faster is hard, i'm assuming you want it for the 12's, 10's and 11's, if you work out how to do it you could hover your finger over where the notes are and just press and strum, it's easier, other than that, all you can do is practice.

Alright thanks, i figured it might not be wrong to use it for everything because it is common, but i'll just stick to ones i know.

F*ck you, the Oxford Comma has a posse (and a valid place in creating unambiguous lists and sentences in the English grammar system).
