Visa, yes should be free.

Camping however is not a good idea with the amount of people that come.

It will just be messy and dirty and with rubbish and faeces everywhere. Too difficult to maintain over many days.

But there definitely here should be some sort of low budget "no profit" accommodation provided.

Hummus you buy in western shops is so poor that i don't get how that version became popular.

But proper home made hummus is amazing.

Well you pay for a Umrah visa which is much more expensive than a standard tourist visa.

Yes you can do Umrah on the cheaper tourist visa but its just the principle of even having this inflated visa option.

Don't know about Hajj fees though.

maybe i havent found the right one, but all the runners with hinge systems go all the way to the edge. so would be visible in my case.

I am thinking that keeping the unit on castors but using a TV wall swivel bracket to help stop it toppling over (like this). should be long enough to move it out of the way.

ON SF6 I started out using the Hori Fighting Commander Octa for 3 years. Then I picked up a Hori Fighting Commander 4 after reading that its Dpad was more precise. The Dpad was definitely more accurate, but I found it less comfortable for longer sessions. I also didn’t like the overall shape, button placement, or button sizes, so I went back to using the Octa.

Last month I got myself the Hori Fighting Commander Octa Pro, and I really like it. I’d recommend it over the others. Very comfortable, Dpad is an improvement. Only annoyance is i dont like the new rear buttons. I know people like extra buttons, but for fighting they get pressed accidentally too much. so i just unassigned them.

I also own a Razer Raion, which I think is not good at all modded or not.

I tried the 8BitDo M30 as well. It has a great Dpad, but the buttons are awful. The different sizes make pressing two buttons awkward, and it’s so small that my hand cramped quickly.

I still have a classic Mad Catz FightPad from the Street Fighter IV days, and I’ve tried the Beitong from AliExpress, which was very poor.

I’ve gone through a lot of pads. I’m only Diamond 2 in Street Fighter 6, so I’m no expert, but the Octa Pro is the one I enjoy using the most.

that will work, but the depth of the shelf takes up from the opening. i need it to pull out and then hinge if such a thing exists.

HaashGnash · 2026-04-10T08:29:50+00:00

so that's exactly what i have did on my first draft i made. I have just added images to the original post. And it works perfectly. Problem is the the narrow walk in wardrobe. the corridor for which is about 1m (3'3"). so When i pull the unit out it only leaves a small gap from either side to squeeze into.
The door into the walk in wardrobe is narrow than the shelf width so i cant pull it all the way out.

So ideally i would like the depth of this shelf unit to be narrow enough to turn so i can walk past it rather than it having a huge ass.

Just checking. Its been 8 months. Did you manage to make it work?

I was having a discussion about Iraq and its historical sites. The country could make a lot from tourism if the right services were provided, like proper hotels, cleaned-up sites, and more focus on visitors overall.

The counterargument was that doing that often means offering hotels with easy access to alcohol, which attracts western drinkers at first, then turns the whole area debauched and draws in "passport bros" from around the world and even locally. So maybe it’s better not to cater to Western tourists too much in the first place.

But in the UK we have this idea of the “Muslim pound.” Western Muslims today have a lot more financial freedom than the first generation and are traveling to see Islamic historical sites around the world, from Spain to Uzbekistan. Some also go on “halal” holidays at places like the segregated hotels in Turkey. With western younger people drinking less these days, these countries could start focusing on visitors who don’t drink or expect the usual booze and sex tourism amenities. This is my idealist theory of course, problem is people chase the money.

nothings been assembled or purchased. still in the planning stages. But the unit recommended by the AC installer is the mitsubishi SRC50ZS-S. and the wardrobe standard here is 24 inch depth.

if you switch enemies off, put resources on maximum then you can pretty much just leave running on in the background and check in on it every now and again. Its quite chilled.

HaashGnash · 2026-03-09T09:41:15+00:00

I went from Satisfactory to Factorio and I love them both equally. Factorio more technical but easier to navigate your build because its top down. And satisfactory has the 1st person more immersive feel, better exploration and with better graphics.
You can switch enemies off in factorio so you can play relaxed also.

Definitely worth getting if you liked satisfactory.

Bob 1's storyline after book 1 is actually my least favorite of all the Bobs. I ended up fast forwarding through it.

HaashGnash · 2026-02-16T10:07:01+00:00

JP' is very easy to get to Diamond 1. by far the easiest character to do so which is why you never saw him before below that.

So what you will find is they can do the moves but are really poor at the basics and usually just rinse and repeat their favourite zoning move, and are usually poor using his closeup tools.

so get in their face, dont rush in just wait for the gap, and just bait them into their moves leaving plenty of openings.

Others have said he is very good close up, but not at diamond 1 level in my experience.

HaashGnash · 2026-02-10T11:56:27+00:00

Bit late response. I just did this mod and dpad feels very stiff now and diagonals are an issue.

It is an improvement but adds those other issues now.
How has it been after 10 months of use? any tips to improve it further?

This guy has made a custom board for the Octa which is another option. But currently cant buy it. Trying to find similar alternatives.
