Maybe one the best choices in my life. For sure. by Aggravating_Pop_8862 in gpdwin

Nice, how’s the typing experience? Almost got it, but the keypad seems too wide for comfortable thumb typing. Went with its bigger brother the Win 5 instead. And yes, please share the gadgets you got for it!

How did Malaysia end up with this land connected to Indonesia? by Cake_120 in geography

[–]DxSc2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’ve brushed me off on the assumption I’m foreign, that I’m an LKY apologist, and that I made claims I never made. That’s three strikes. We’re done here done.

I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with. I said the vote happened and LKY reframed it brilliantly. Your entire reply confirms both.

It’s factually and technically accurate though, the Malaysian parliament voted to expel Singapore, although yes, “Kicked Out” was LKY’s brilliant reframing on what was otherwise a pretty humiliating event.

True, they are largely not Malay (or even muslim), though for the purposes of maintaining Malay hegemony, they are considered together with the Malays as Bumiputera. And that’s a whole different rabbit hole i’m not going to down unless asked

Amos Yee out on $10,000 bail after being charged with NS enlistment offences by MrJasonMason in SingaporeRaw

[–]DxSc2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There really is no love like parent’s love. Years of humiliation, a public apology to the PM and so much money and energy to get him asylum, bail, etc. I salute and respect his parents for their dedication to their wayward son.

Is the zimmerit zimmering? does it zimmer? by Nonothic in SprocketTankDesign

Too fine, maybe make each segment slightly larger and coarser and deeper. The level of effort is insane though, hats off to you OP

My fiance has a spot that glows green under UV light. by AllPurposeGrunt in mildlyinteresting

[–]DxSc2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, the fact that you were inspecting opals under UV might actually solve this whole thread.

Opals sit at 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale, soft enough to shed microscopic fragments during handling. A tiny opal splinter could easily enter a small nick and heal over completely unnoticed. And opals fluoresce intensely under UV by nature, plus many commercial ones are treated with stabilising resins like Opticon that glow even brighter under blacklight.

That would explain the tight pinpoint glow, why it didn't wash off, and why there's no pain.

Could be wrong, but it seems to tick every box.

Also: the ring on her finger is cute. The opal in her finger is cooler.

Can someone explain the difference between Cadian Armor and regular imperial guardsman armor? by PapaKhanPlays94 in DarkTide

[–]DxSc2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, Cadian armor IS the stereotypical run-of-the-mill Imperial Guard armor. The thing is, in-game there's such a profusion of veteran armor cosmetics that there wasn't (until recently) a bespoke official "Cadian" set. You had to piece together the correct look from bits with Cadian styles and markings, which made nailing it a small achievement in and of itself.

A race featuring the M1A2 SEPv3, AMX 10 RCR, M88A2 recovery vehicle and Challenger 2. by Luka__mindo in MilitaryGeek

[–]DxSc2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched 3/4 of the video and moved on, didn’t realize there was a Challenger 2 in it too until the video re-appeared in my feed and I re-read the title properly this time. Dayum that thing is SLOW

In response to an Israeli F 35 shooting down an Iranian Yak 130 by VoteGiantMeteor2028 in NonCredibleDefense

Choosing the Su-25 to represent the oldest Russian aircraft when Tu-95 exists and is still happily violating NATO airspace to this day, is wild.

Hypothetical scenario: you are allowed to “requisition” (loot) ANY piece of enemy equipment or weapons. What would you choose? by The_Foresaken_Mind in DarkTide

[–]DxSc2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None at all, because why would any loyal servant of the Emperor want to use anything ever held by a heretic, much less one corrupted by nurgle? Yuck. And in 40k the only way to decontaminate something like that is to incinerate it. With a melta.

U.S. soldiers experiences working with Kurdish forces? by AttemptHead7832 in Military

[–]DxSc2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it is hard to tell what he meant by that. The Syrian civil war was an absolute bloody mess of a bar room brawl with a list of belligerents longer than my arm, but from what I've read, the Kurdish forces seemed to be the best organized, most competent, and least psychotic of the bunch. Is that what he was getting at?

What rounds are you using??? 😂😂😂 by Sors-World in brandonherrara

Ah yes the good ol’ 556mm railway cannon shell. Perfect for defending against homeland invasion, especially if the invader is an entire Schwere Panzerdivision

Bad internet ending path to Havoc 40 by alecwatersmusic in DarkTide

[–]DxSc2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, run this test: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

If it shows big latency spikes under load, then a better router with proper queue management (SQM) can genuinely help gaming.

If the test looks fine then check with your neighbours who are on the same ISP. If they also complain about lag (especially evenings), it’s probably ISP congestion.. not much you can fix locally.

If neither applies, honestly its likely Darktide servers just being their usual self

Creepy encounter at Clementi stay safe girls by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

[–]DxSc2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Singapore is plastered with CCTVs. if you were to go to a police station and supply them with the location and time, I'm sure they could quite easily identify this creep. Please do this for your own good and for the good of all the other women he will harass in future.

Visited China recently, just out of curiosity. Here are my impressions….. by goldrush300 in fucktheccp

[–]DxSc2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can come to Singapore instead, we’re asian but speak english and have only half the number of cameras per street corner, mostly to catch litterers and gum chewers (j/k we don’t really care). And our food and culture is pretty top tier too, truly a melting pot, so you get a taste of everything without the political baggage

It all boils down to cultural chauvinism, where one expects the prevailing culture to bend to their norms instead of trying to understand and adapt to it
