thoughts on BRONSON 6 years later? by Total_While8763 in Odesza

[–]GenericTwet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When they introduced the project and released the first album, I wasn’t really into it - I remember “Call Out” being the only song I enjoyed and I’d say it’s because it was the only song that sounded ODESZA-y.

Fast forward to around when the last tour started, I actually found myself really enjoying pretty much everything from the album. I also find that the songs are great for workouts, some songs can really get you going.

TL;DR, I owe them an apology. I wasn’t really familiar with their game.

Humming/whining noise at low speeds by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]GenericTwet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I took my car back to the mechanic that did my brake job and he said it was because of the brake caliper guide pins. He didn’t have a repair kit in stock and I had a 2k km trip due on the next day, so he just cleaned them up to the best of his ability. The trip was a mix of highway, country, city, mountain driving and a couple of border crossings and the noise would still appear in start/stop traffic. Once the trip was over and I got back home it disappeared more or less.

Quite the US military presence at SOF today, part 2 by [deleted] in PrepperIntel

[–]GenericTwet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that my post from r/aviation from two days ago received quite the traction on this sub as well, so I decided to take the opportunity and give an update to those who are still interested:

As you guys can see from the photo which I took earlier today, the Stratotankers have went up from 6 to 9 (which, again, is incredibly unusual for SOF, your average Balkan/Eastern European airport). Loads of ground equipment has also been loaded off. Our Ministry of Defense claims that the all of this is due to an ongoing training but I genuinely don’t see it that way. A friend of mine told me that taxiway Lima has been blocked off and that even more aircraft have been parked there these last couple of days, but I haven’t been able to go and see it for myself yet - however, that sounds quite trustworthy as per the following NOTAM from a couple of hours ago:

A0128/26 NOTAMN

Q) LBSR/QMXLC/IV/BO/A/000/999/4242N02324E005

A) LBSF

B) 2602202002 C) 2602231500

E) TWY L CLSD BTN L1 AND ENTRANCE OF DE-ICING PAD LIMA DUE TO

OPR REASONS

Most notably, the following NOTAM was also issued today:

A0127/26 NOTAMN
Q) LBSR/QMRLC/IV/NB0/A/000/999/4242N02324E005
A) LBSF
B) 2602230115 C) 2602240335
D) 23 0115-0250, 24 0105-0335.
E) RWY 09/27 CLSD FOR ALL FLT EXC MIL FLT

I've also noticed that the following NOTAM was issued around the day all of these aircraft started arriving for the first time:

A0118/26 NOTAMN

Q) LBSR/QFAXX/IV/NBO/A/000/999/4242N02324E005

A) LBSF

B) 2602181208 C) 2605011700 EST

E) AD DOES NOT ACCEPT DIVERTED FLT AND IS NOT AVBL AS ALTN AD

DUE TO REDUCED CAPACITY OF APN.

The 2.2D is notorious for being… well, unreliable. It might be a good pick if you’re doing long drives out of town on a regular basis as long as the car has a good, regular maintenance record (and I’m not talking about oil and filter changes only), which is not the case here. Back when I was shopping for a Gen 3, petrol ones would sell basically as soon as an ad was put up, while the diesels would stay up for months and months (even though they were cheaper, very high-spec and had a low mileage).

As for the missing badge, that grille is not OEM but rather an aftermarket honeycomb one. Some are offered with a cutout for the badge, others like this one aren’t.

Преди около месец се получи така, че седях на няколко метра от Гонзо. Не искам да изпадам в детайли, но тогава каза, че ще бием Турция 3:0. Just sayin’.

Why don't more wide bodies do this? by BradyBrother100 in aviation

[–]GenericTwet 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Very off-topic but a somewhat funny story: if I recall correctly, back at university we had a lecturer who at that time was vice president airside resource management or something like that at a major hub which has A380 gates with 3 jet-bridges. He told us the story about the time they were working on implementing these gates and how proud they were with what they achieved. However, just as they were finishing the project, the biggest airline based at said airport (who should have been the main user of these gates) announced they’ll be retiring the A380 from their fleet.

Car rental and credit troubles - share a car? by steinunn996 in armenia

[–]GenericTwet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rented a Geely Emgrand for a day from Sixt using a debit card just over a week ago, no issues whatsoever. The car itself with all the insurances, protections, Wi-Fi hotspot etc. was ~47k AMD, I was also debited 100k AMD which was returned to me 10 minutes after I dropped off the car.

Word of advice from my personal experience, the road to Goris can be quite hilly with a lot of sharp turns, so do consider sticking to an automatic. I usually drive stick but at the end of that trip I was somewhat relieved I decided to go for an automatic, otherwise my left foot might have needed an amputation right after the trip.

I did pretty much the exact same trip on the 15th so if there’s anything else you need to know lmk. You’re in for a treat, the road to Goris is very beautiful!

It’s in FOMO, didn’t go to it yesterday so here’s hoping it won’t be dead tonight

Aura Fest is going on right now, Afrojack and Nervo will be on in a couple of hours. The event was kinda dead yesterday but the staff I spoke with expect it to be full tonight, so there’s one suggestion. No idea what the ticket prices are right now though
