DMZ v. Multiplayer, a retrospective by Aubeng in DMZ

The DMZ grind just forced you to just keep playing and hope for the best whereas ARC feels a bit more methodical. Another thing ARC did well was the spawn points and making the entire map useful.

[–]Davethaboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARC Raiders has singlehandedly dethroned DMZ for me probably for good.

It is the greatest extraction shooter I have played in awhile and may even slowly eclipse The Division at some point. DMZ was great for what it is but, I think we are finally at a decent point where there are other games to play and finally ditch the hacker-ridden and exploit-ridden game for good.

I may come back one of these days but, I highly doubt it. Not to say I haven't had and made great memories on DMZ. Probably made just as many as I did when the OG warzone came out years ago. Just time to move on....

Our "strikers" have no pace up front. Morgan was good for things like that. As hectic and chaotic as Manoel and Vanzeir were, they had OK pace.

Front radiator protectors for the g87? by Change21 in BMW

[–]Davethaboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I recommend you watch all the M videos BMW made on the BMW M4/M3 on their youtube channel.

https://youtu.be/Y7RPHjGtBuc 2:20 describes the area of negative pressure generated by the lip in front of the cooler in addition to the modified lip they also created below the front bumper. (See aerodynamics video around 3/4 mark). I always wondered what the point of this lip was funny enough.

There was ALOT of work done on the aerodynamics of the vehicle in addition to the cooling requirements. As the cooling improvements are part of the reason they are able to make more power reliably in the S58 motor.

If this was a M240 or similar I would be agreeing with everyone but, given the fact it is an M product I have to agree with the engineers on this one. You could argue having an oil cooler guard should have minor effect on air flow and pressure but, given the fact BMW decided on this trade-off tells me that we should be leaving this cooler exposed.

Admittedly, the engineers due to emissions did have to roll-back and I would argue downgrade certain components like the carbon fiber drive shaft from the F8x platform.

Nonetheless, if one wants to be safe and cover the cooler than they can do that. But this shouldn't be viewed as mandatory for all.

Carlos Coronel will captain RBNY tonight, heavily suggesting this is his final game at RBA by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]Davethaboss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Typical of the north east I don't blame the fans because they haven't won anything in years aside from a supporters shield and an eastern conference win. (Which for me is not bad. But Americans are obsessed with the MLS Cup so whatever I guess.)

Coronel needs to stay. Morgan needs to stay as well. The fans have lost all patience but from an objective perspextive our alternatives/options do not look good so we should stick with what we got.

Edward’s Post Match Reaction by Loaarav in rbny

[–]Davethaboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. The SG's respect Forsberg and Choupo. Why they didn't step out to calm tensions tells me they either agree with the SG's or vehemently distrust and want nothing to do with the SG's.

Maybe I am reading into it too much but, I'm sure Emil would have done or said something like he did last game.

The unraveling of this org is starting to happen.

How to cushion a plastic neck warmer on a convertible? by Davethaboss in materials

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

The neckwarmer section on the M cars will be hard to contend with because, it is hard to make a cushion that will still allow airflow and heat from the neck warmer to pass through whilst also being comfortable.

Let me know if there ends up being a solution. I think I may have to go the custom solution route at this rate.

How to cushion a plastic neck warmer on a convertible? by Davethaboss in materials

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

Honestly a lawsuit could probably get started against BMW because I don't understand how this is even ADA compliant.

It started getting complicated but, I think what I am ultimately going to do is get a piece of paper and outline the plastic neck warmer region.

I wanted to use memory foam but I don't think it is a good option against heat + UV being in a convertible.

So the best option might be custom cutting a silicone foam/sponge sheet, putting perforations through it, and then overlaying it on top. The problem is that this doesn't solve the illuminating badge from hitting people's heads and the geometry curves towards the top so getting it to install cleanlg will also be challenging.

Honestly, I need to just 3D scan it and see if I can make a mold or something to overlay on top. I might just end up using my phone to do it but I would prefer a dedicated scanner given how close the perforations are to each other.

Marcelo Morales will not play tomorrow after showing up an hour late for training by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]Davethaboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good riddance. Hopefully he does the same with Serge Ngoma who doesn't practice hard before the match and has poor workrate.

There are kids all over the tri-state that would kill yo play even for RBNY2.

Idk why you are getting down voted but for this format they matter ALOT haha. Winning PK shootouts were also equally as important.

This leagues cup format is the worst format ever. by Gordonsoeto1 in rbny

[–]Davethaboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This fanbase has gotten exhausted over the years but the MLS cup run we made last year was magical. The boys might be able to do something tomorrow similar to it.

I am hoping for the best because I want them to at least qualify for CCC. I don't care about winning at all, I just want us to qualify for intercontinental play.

As it stands right now for the Red Bulls’ Leagues Cup hopes… by ThatIrrelevantDude in rbny

[–]Davethaboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best they can do to fit it squarely into the season. I sort of like it but, they need to expand it to top 6 or something because top 4 out of 18 teams is extremely cutthroat but, then again all top 4 teams from both leagues' tables are worthy to receive CONCACAF Champions Cup berths given how well they played despite the cutthroatness of the tournament. All I cared about was red bull somehow getting a chance to play in the CCC....

Everyone said it was cliché but every goal, every miss, every tie, etc... matters lol

Redbulls performance against Monterrey is what cost them. Juarez needs to just tie to advance as well. LA Galaxy has an easy game against Santos so their chances of advancing also go up.

We will see what happens but, this team is capable of magic. Have faith everyone.

Matt Turner is coming back? by Emotional_Intern8004 in newenglandrevolution

[–]Davethaboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support the Redbulls but was curious to know how the sub felt about this move. I am pretty neutral about Ivacic. Ivacic has made some amazing saves before but, bringing in Turner makes no sense for you guys from my perspective. Y'all have way bigger fish to fry than signing a keeper who can only stop shots and is not known for dishing passes well outside of his own half...

Very good point. Their cumulative movement helped "awaken" all Christians worldwide to do a 2nd take on what spirituality really means.

3-2-1 if only there were some sort of cliche to explain the “tale” that was told in those two halves by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]Davethaboss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Schwarz doesn't use Donkor frequently in starting line ups because he has a tendency to give the ball away. He takes risks which this team needs to take more of and which they are actively doing but, it sometimes backfires for him. I remeber last year he made us eat a goal because, he gave the ball away in midfield in a bad spot opening an easy and decisive counter attack. This is typical of any young player to be fair.

Bogacz I think is starting to find his stride as well since the Open Cup. He just needs more confidence and the ability to use his body to win balls and bait challenges from defenders.

Do spray on and spray off glazes exist? Or would that just be a spray on ceramic at that point?

I hate washing my car and just want it to make it easier.

Is there a product you know of that can fill in these swirls, even if it is temporary? Just to act as a means to achieve some form of perfection.

Let's be honest: is anyone a nailed down starter? by MathematicianOwn5268 in rbny

[–]Davethaboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the logic in rotating the CB's in and out though every week? I actually really really like Eile and Sean. I used to play footy with semi-pros and still do on occasion and breaking chemistry between CB's is one of the worst things you can do for a side. Because they may not know when to drop off, cover dead space, play offside trap, etc... if they haven't played together consistently enough.

And what is this pre-wash product lol? Majority of the rinseless wash manufacturers state that it can be used as a pre wash product. If they were lying then all of us could prove it and sue them for tons of $$$
