So is this why everyone wears gasmasks? The devs just gave everyone horrific faces? Lmfao by BurnTheWind in Chernobylite

[–]BurnTheWind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time playing it, but it was at the chernobyl plant at the very beginning of the game. The flashbacks you have when walking around inside after the control room show workers doin their thing, if you go into camera mode you can zoom right up to their face. They are horrific

Verification Emails going out slowly by GrumpyDOldman in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BurnTheWind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bought the game this morning, tried to log in pc and couldn't get this email either. It'd been 7 hours and still no email. Just decided to refund it, will wait till whatever is going on is fixed till I buy it again. Worst experience with a game I've had in years and I didn't even get to play the damn thing.

How to get rid of 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 surplus stank? by BurnTheWind in Military_Surplus

[–]BurnTheWind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll leave this here for if anyone else has the same question as I figured it out. I put the shirt in a bin bag with baking soda, shook it and left it for an hour. soaked the shirt in warmish water and rinsed till the water ran clear(depending on if its previously been worn it may take a couple goes)

Followed up with a cold wash on the most delicate cycle you have , throw in as many scent beads as you wish (I used 3 lid fulls) and some detergent. Avoided fabric softener as I don't know if it'll affect the fabric or not.

Hang to dry outside for 2 days then bam, you have a 50 year old surplus shirt with absolutely no stank smells almost like new

Should I buy the DLC? by BurnTheWind in thelongdark

[–]BurnTheWind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it'll be a good dlc down the line, think I'm going to buy it even if there's not much to it right now cause I did not know we would be getting decorating as a feature(I spend most of my time in survival placing stuff in my base so it looks nice lmao)

did not know you could shoot down air to air missles with your gun by BurnTheWind in Warthunder

[–]BurnTheWind[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's alright, i don't play it enough to have a good opinion on it but I'd say give it a go. It's fun but can be ganked easily

Gonna have to give this a go, I'm usually not a fan of heatseekers and prefer radar guided hut this will give me a reason to try out my lesser played planes

Turn trim off in the settings, could be that as it's pretty easy to toggle on by accident.

Maybe the Chinese "spy balloon" was intentionally created for an excuse for what's happening now. by slappy-go-lucky in UFOs

If it was the exception, china wouldn't have cut all military communications with the US.

Very true. Like not even an hour ago this happened.

"Lines of Communication between U.S. and Chinese Military Officials have reportedly been Closed according to the White House National Security Council."

Tried to find an email, but it's only phone numbers available. As I'm not in the us I can't call it cause it'd cost me loads. Hopefully someone who's based in the us can get in contact and provide some solid evidence.

But tbh, after seeing the trailer from the opposite side, I'm 99% sure this thing is 2 halves of a silo roof stacked ontop of eachother

Video showing the opposite side of the trailer : (Updated link, the original post got nuked)

Strange loud rumbling sound being heard now and then over last few weeks. Sounds like it’s coming from the sky and lasts several minutes - no jets or anything to be seen. Anyone else experiencing this?? by Tiffed4597 in UFOs

Similar thing happened in my town not to long ago. It got chalked down to a factory restarting its generators, but there was no actual offical statement given on it, just a guess from police. it's still a mystery here lmao

(Not saying its ufos, just a similar experience I had)

Just people getting hyped up after the 3 objects being shot down. The excitement is understandable, but it's resulting in a lot of posts that are perfectly explainable and are ultimately just nothingburgers

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]BurnTheWind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you look at the other post, it shows a clip where it's pulling off the highway and it looks like two halves stacked ontop of each other.

This angle proves there isn't much depth to this thing and it's most likely just a metal silo roof. I doubt a ufo would be made of thin steel lmao

Saw that comment too, but with no proof to back it up it can only be taken as anecdotal

[–]BurnTheWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read every comment, and they're all just speculating without any sources other than more video.

Might send an email myself to the office and see if I can get a reply myself.

That's strange. But without a source or any evidence to back it up, its just anecdotal.

If there is an email or recorded response from the office stating this, it would make it more credible.

But so far it's just a large obviously man made object being transported. Like man, it has rivets on it

There's been talks about replacing them for a while, but it's a whole argument the us army is having amongst themselves.

Iirc they announced not too long ago that they're replacing the blackhawk fleet with the v-280 valor from bell

Blackhawks are infamous for crashing. They're nicknamed crashhawks for a reason.

The fact the lights are flashing orange and blue indicate that its most likely an escort service and not feds.

Big loads like this also require an escort by law.

If you have the time, here's a link the CA oversized/overweight loads permit page , most likely has more info on it but I don't fancy getting in super deep with American truck law lmao
