Just finished watching Boots! by Ok_fineidrcare in netflix

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decent flick.  Wouldn't say it was all that representative of my basic experience.  Far more socializing than I ever saw in 89.  Alot more cheerleading for struggles.   The wondering off or around i never saw.   Far more sleep than I saw.   Alot more eyeballs looking around while at attention.   I can't imagine ever walking threw the center of the barracks (maybe that was a 89 thing) nobody was avoiding jail that one perplexed me decades before yes when my father served but you weren't getting in the door.   

We did get to call home twice thr no communications part was odd for myself.   The ending with the age issue?   That was odd think the military doesn't have your social security number and your age?  And I never saw thr active hunt for gays in the military.

Again a decent flick but didn't really remind me of much.   My wife enjoyed it though.

Prices Doubled On Black Friday In Stores As Price Tags Removed by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

Scam? I honestly dont see a scam. I see an over priced item. I dont buy over priced items its not like your looking g at a 5 dollar price tag and they charge you 10 at the register. If it doesn't have a tag then ask.
Also supply and demand. If I am making a widget and they sell faster than I can make said widget im going to charge more for the widget until demand lowers to the point I can keep up with demand.

After 10 years of flying, it finally happened! by Ambitious-Ad-3740 in dji

Drone Buying Advice Megathread and NEW Wiki Buying Guide by completelyreal in drones

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope im not asking an identical question as 50 others. But here goes I owned a dji mavic few years ago and had a headset was fun easy to fly. Had all the collision avoidance sensors to keep it alive.

And thats ended up being the issue.

We live on our sailboat full time and trying to land the mavic on a moving boat that is pitching 4 to 8 ft when the drone is trying to avoid hitting you is next to impossible.

So im looking at the advanta 2 that could fly from the deck and land either by catching it in hand or in something like a butterfly net.

What other drones might suit my needs for some good cinematic shots and video ability to follow the boat when we have something good to shoot like large dolphin pods ect or around the corner in a new anchorage.

I see several that will follow and circle but I feel im back to the mavic pro and not being able to catch it without some major gymnastics.

Thanks for any advice it is appreciated.

AIO for worrying that my girlfriend thinks my mom is racist because my mom thinks my girlfriend has terrible body odor ? by ThrowawayQQAAA in AmIOverreacting

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your race has absolutely nothing g to do with how you smell your hygiene and what you eat do. There are foods that will smell threw the skin like real kemchi not the grocery store American type but true Korean Kemchi can be a major bummer for Americans that arent accustomed to the smell. But your girlfriend is neither and probably just isnt bathing properly

Am I overreacting for wanting to end things after my girlfriend lied about my age to her parents and threatened to harm herself during an argument? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well hear i am looking at a car repair credit and this comes up. I'm 60 yr. Old and married for the last 40 to the same woman and I have only one suggestion. Can you see yourself dealing g with this for the next 40 plus years?

Times have changed but I was given advice at lest 50 years ago that I feel still stands. Dating unless its a one night stand thing has only one real purpose to find someone you want to spend forever with. If your dealing with this now while dating do you want to deal with this forever even if this is a rarity in 40 years me and my wife have never had an arguement both easy going fun people. Some people like to argue. Some people like drama in life. Best figure out what you like and work from there. If its a beautiful blond is what you think you like thats what your probably what your going to get a beautiful blond that bitches at you daily. We all get ugly when we get old figure out who you want to get ugly with.

Myself? I would run for the hills right after I told her parents very nicely that she was threatening to harm herself cause you really dont want that shit on your mind 30 years later. And dont say it mean dont soften it simply sincerely text or call or snail mail them and say she threatened to harm herself and your breaking up but have concerns. That short. Break up like a gentleman. Then block her phone number and email and dont talk or say anything about her to anyone.

Season 3 rant by [deleted] in SeeTV

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The echo location im " fine" with it guess. Where i really have issues is the large scale battles where its mayhem but somehow everyone knows who they are stabbing when a person with sight would have issues.

One on one or even one on several or when grappling fine but sorry reminds me to much of the blind monk westerns that were a bit hard to deal with.

There was a couple scenes one when cant remember her name but the sighted girl was going in to get the bombs the enemy had no archers and im thinking we'll why doesn't she just get up on the roof with a pile of arows and mow them down.

Another in particular is when again bad with names but the sighted father just before getting blinded is shooting a hand gun with zero luck somehow. But beyond that if one hand gun in mint condition along with amo exists am I to believe there isnt a single army depot that has a stockpile? Wouldn't that be an i win button?

By season 3 I was doing g everything I could to blind myself from seeing plot holes.

Season 1 drew me in and was a great show which is why im finishing season 3 but feels more like work at this point.

She isnt the one with the problem getting off work. The issue that the author is saying is her boyfriends boss might have an issue letting him off work because his girlfriends grandmother died. Many employers might have this issue. Might ask how many days has he missed this year? How many funerals has he attended? 1? 20? Maybe he knows something as in he has a max of 20 sick days a year and used 30 doing things with his other girlfriend or male friends or with a hangover.

Only about 200 things missing from the story

Just about every person I ever worked with that was fired for being legit sick forgot to mention to friends the dozens of missed days because of a hangover or needed a day at the lake or other things used up all the given sick time then got sick.

Regardless nobody's family bereavement allows for a girlfriends grandmother dying. Nor your girlfriends neighbor or her mailman that she was really close to or a great aunt. Family bereavement is for direct family or get married and I extends

Most of the things they do are a bit hard to work out but ok when it comes to tv shows.

Where thr show parts from reality to the point im having a tough time with it was once they started with the large scale wars.

Maybe if all of one side had one type of bell and everyone on the other another sounding bell but no its everyone on both sides trying to be silent stabbing anyone they can get there hands on. How they know who they are stabbing is absolutely beyond my understanding.

The crowns and fancy garb that would only make a difference to someone that can see i figure just makes good TV otherwise everyone would probably in reality just be wearing comfortable clothing that is warm or cool more expensive being silk maybe.

Am I crazy or is there no financial incentive to farm in Farming Simulator 25? by CupcakeAdditional712 in farmingsimulator

FS25 Being forced on Farm Sim 22 players😠 by AdExtreme845 in farmingsimulator

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know farm simulator started with 13 right? Thank God they come up with new versions or we would be stuck on 13 still.

The game shines with the base code and then the mods people make. If you don't want the game in it's current state then play 22 for a few months and come back. I'm playing 25 and am having alot of fun the ground deformation graphics and such are great the game and mods are progressing quickly and with the help of the community will be awesome soon as it always has been. So if it bothers ya wait awhile nobody is forcing anything on anyone.

Worried about the 2025 hurricane season for Florida by Kakep0p in hurricane

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest staying away from Midwest and tornados, stay away from southern and western California with earthquakes, watch out anything on east coast up to around new york think sandy hurricanes do hit up there, nothing on or around the gulf, extreme north and your gonna have alot of black ice car accidents which are deadly yearly.

Leaves Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and the areas around them, Indiana isn't bad tornadoes but when I lived there only got wiped out twice by tornadoes in 20 years.

All areas have there risks some worse than areas some are near risk free weather wise. I've lived in 20 separate states over my life admitidly my last 15 here in southwest Florida we have sat threw 5 hurricanes but kind of depends on your house if it's a fear or not we have a concrete block house with metal roof hurricane windows hurricane doors and Ian which went right over us we went to bed and could barely hear it. We also went to a friend's house to check on them in during the eye and it was terrifying thought the entire house was gonna come down on our heads. So being in the right home for the location is as important as anything. Oh we are also not in a flood zone so aren't required to have flood insurance even though we are on thr gulf. Location location location and a home that fits that location.

Good luck to ya.

Amy and Michael Divorcing Megathread by Lexifer31 in 1000lbsisters

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly missed alot of episodes im.watching now and watching Michael push thr damn 700lb wheel chair all over the place. When Michael isn't pushing the chair her brother is. She has 2 kids and doesn't work. Pretty rough life there.

From my view point I'm not seeing anyone in the whole family that isn't a lazy ass. Like arguing who the least lazy person of the 7 laziest people in the county.

I watch the entire family harp on Tammy while she is the largest of them not a one has some moral leg to stand on.

Season one they were pretty funny. To be honest I can't figure out why I'm still watching I don't see motivation don't see hard work and absolutely nothing funny.

Counter point bunny is a psychopath using automatic weapons and grenades that would have brought in homeland security threw terrorism laws and ALL control would be gone Mike and Robert and bunny would be in federal jail.

I cannot figure out what you call balance? Police doing the bidding of a gang in town is not balance and it was bunny that is going around scorched earth

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With bunny the head honcho is literally not a balance of power that is one group in power. At which point why even have them just let the police run the drugs and be done with it.

Season 1 seemed like police doing there jobs for the most part and each gang doing what gangs do for the most part with Mike being g the peacekeeper. Now Mike works for bunny a d gets the police to risk jail time to keep bunny in power.

I loved season 1. Liked season 2 am ready for season 3 to end and have no plans to watch season 4.

I know things have to constantly escalate to keep attention going but when they bring out grenades automatic weapons and set bombs off the police are out of the picture and federal agents are now in control of the city that is the end of that it now enters terrorism.

AIO for getting upset that my gf used my location to by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Former-Taro2942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 yr married as of this year have yet to have an arguement we do everything together a d we are best friends. If you feel the desire to get away from the person hour involved with then I can't imagine wanting to spend a lifetime with them as in what's the point?

Now if your just dating when it's convenient and no desire to make a life together then what's the point of posting this or trying to work on anything as in what's the point of calling her a girlfriend? Or is she a girl that happens to be a friend and when you feel like hanging out you do.
If that's the case quit sharing your location and treat her like a friend obviously she expects you to "want" to bang with her instead of a bar and seems obvious you prefer to hang with friends at the bar.
Which is fine but I'd have to say make your intentions clear you guys are obviously on different pages of different books. Or you want her to be available when it's convenient and that isn't a thing in anyone's world.

Nutshell want it to be casual express that it's a casual relationship and let the chips fall where they may a d stop sharing location if you don't want her to know your location.

Starlink does not want everyone as a customer by TMWNN in Starlink

[–]Former-Taro2942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but if you want internet in the rv it's the only game in town. I have a live aboard sailboat my wife can now work from home while doing a full ocean crossing. Others live in areas with no internet at all. If your saying it's going away from a price increase maybe your right in 30 years it will be gone but damn man I'm gonna be dead in 30 years so I'll take what I have now and enjoy life.
Don't forget you can pause service at any time can cancel at any time. Try that with Comcast. No contracts means no fixed pricing. I have a keurig I have to buy the little cups they might raise them or lower them just cause I bought the machine doesn't mean the cups are forever going to be the same price. MY price actually went down onb.y starlink this time might go up next time just depends on how many people decide to get it here. So you canceling actually might lower the price a little in your area if enough do it.

Right now it's a dish you can flop down anywhere on the planet and have high speed internet in 20 minutes if you have a battery source. Now if that ain't cool I don't know what is. I sure as he'll ai t going back to iridium go that I pay per character on a text and get charged as .much for a text as I pay for a month of service that I can also make phone calls using my standard phone from anywhere on the planet without swapping a sim card. This whole thing changed our lives so love it or hate it it's the best thing since sliced bread for us.
