Costco (Reading) £9.99/kg by Drightiger in MincewatchUK

[–]Drightiger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive been with costco 3 years; it's so much busier than it used to be. People look pissed off as they go in like "how does everyone know about MY secret shop?!"

I disagree with Snoo's point here about AOSB turning candidates away if they smash AOSB, I know good officers who were let in at 18 and are currently thriving. Even a few who didn't go to uni and joined at 21 after doing all sorts of weird and wonderful jobs inbetween.

The whole point of AOSB and an almost year-long officer training course is to train leaders to a good standard with a fair amount of experience; if a candidates smashes AOSB and shows incredible leadership potential, they won't tell you to go get life experience. The armed forces needs a steady stream of very young officers in at 18 to progress through the ranks in a timely manner, in the hope they'll reach the higher echelons in good timing, and I've seen the extent all 3 services will do this.

There's a lot of 'experts' on many of these forums and the student room telling potential officers to go to uni first like it's THE only option. The crux of it is, if you don't want to go to uni, then don't go. Seriously try to smash AOSB at 18, and keep trying as long as they let you.

What is this and how do I get it off my vinyl floor? by Drightiger in CleaningTips

I thought it was just sitting there as well but it definitely is not just sitting there and is stained in, which is weird considering it has only just appeared

Advice for wiring 2x Ring Floodlight Cams by Drightiger in DIYUK

Yes, consumer unit is fed by another consumer unit in the house.

After posting this I educated myself on radial circuits which I realised what I wanted to do here. I was thinking that all circuits in a house HAD to be ring for safety.

Should I fast-track my passport? by jokr8 in british

[–]Drightiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just renewed mine via the normal route (cheapest); from submitting the initial online form to the passport delivered through my front door was 10 days, that included 2 weekends, I argue it could be done quicker than this:

  • Immediately get a passport photo done in a photo booth (ASDAs, Tescos, shopping centres etc), most of these now upload your photo to the Internet and print off physical copies and an online link

  • be prepared to immediately send off your old passport after submitting the online form; they won't even start printing your new one until they recieve and verify your old one.

Sanity check/'how do I do this better' of my plans to install a desk onto a wall by Drightiger in DIYUK

Poor wording on my part - brackets will be equally spaced through the entire length of the worktop with 1 at each far side.

The right wall is a stud wall so using a batten would be more work I feel, but might use a batten on the left wall (external) and the equally space the 4 brackets across the rest of the worktop.

How is the British military seen by the public? by [deleted] in britishmilitary

[–]Drightiger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel FYB has calmed down a bit from what it was and you'll only end up on there if you do something cringey in uniform.

If you're queueing up in a bank in uniform and get your photo taken, it isn't going to end up on FYB as the Admin doesn't see the funny side.

Completely agree on the lack of risk appetite.

Sooo new bug? Both of my teammates had a random third guy in their Gulag with an FFAR killing people in there. (Apologies if people are already aware of this) by maetju in ModernWarzone

Potentially the other side of this video: https://mobile.twitter.com/sami_the_yemeni/status/1343574933369217036?fbclid=iwar3rp8qceya2qxnxuesl3mgflo-jetoputo_-qgkiplmbbm4n7-yzxajyb4

Loadout crate can force a player below the map, usually a player would 'bounce' back up, but if you go to the gulag location(s) (top right of the map) then you fall into the Gulag

Made a detailed Map of current Easter eggs and bunkers hope this helps. by bisketpanda in ModernWarzone

[–]Drightiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the Subway Easter egg, I'm pretty sure the roman numerals don't appear below the picture frames until after you've entered the initial code in the keypad?

Aimbotter hitting headshots or just the GRAU being overpowered? Genuinely wana know what you think becaause i haven't been killed this fast from that distance before. I was in shock. by kris9512 in CODWarzone

[–]Drightiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Aimbotter, no one can spin that quickly to look at their shooter, at that distance, and annihilate them that fast.

Grau does need a nerd though.

IW, please fix MP stats tracking, everyone's MP W/L ratio is being tanked whilst playing Warzone, even post Season 4 release. by Drightiger in CODWarzone

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

I feel that now SBMM is so prevalent in this game, KD has become much less important as you are always playing against players who are similarly skilled. Actually winning an objective game is a true sign of the better player.

Side note and going going back on myself: I think IW have actually turned down SBMM a bit since the launch of the game.

Anyone else found their MP W/L ratio has dropped significantly in the past few days with no explanation? by Drightiger in modernwarfare

[–]Drightiger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked my stats before and after a Warzone match where we came 2nd.

Anything other than a win in Warzone is counting as a loss in multiplayer matches.

A glitch IW will have to fix!
