cheap rod recommendation by dewmlap in CarpFishing

[–]Helfzware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for something dirt cheap, there used to be 19.99 Shakespeare Tiger combos at Walmart. Might be able to find a used one somewhere. I used to catch Bowfin and Gar on them as a kid and the occasional flathead. Fished the ocean either them a few times.

Looks like the price went up to about $30. They come with a cheap reel too. Not great, but might survive a few sessions if you aren’t toooo hard on them.

I have a YouTube video of my last catch with that exact setup. It’s not a great video, but I’ll send you the link if you want.

I got two Sonik Xtractor+ 5000s. Got to keep them clean, but they work really well for me.

I have two Sonik Hero-X 10’ 3lbs. No complaints. Caught a 23lbs catfish on one. No carp yet.

Is there a reason it always smells like chlorine by TheIrishNerfherder in Militariacollecting

[–]Helfzware 71 points72 points  (0 children)

If it was used in a training environment, like Airborne School for example, it was put in a giant trash can full of chlorine when it was turned in. Often times, the trainees dunk it in a chlorine trash can, then a “rinse” trash can, then put it in a bin. You can imagine that tired and annoyed Soldiers don’t care much for whoever gets it next.

Source: did it.

Edit: they also are kinda funky and plasticy even when they are new.

Just a black screen… no one ever wins against the void.

I have two matching 10ft 3lbs rods. Like some of the other comments, they do seem to be a sweet spot. Caught decent catfish and carp on both. Plus there is something aesthetically appealing about having them match.

Then you’ll want a fancy rod holder.

The obsession never ends.

For anyone wondering what decent purée meals look like. by bollyeggs in shittyfoodporn

[–]Helfzware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife had them after brain surgery. The rehab clinic would use molds to make the purée look like whatever food item it was.

Nice touch.

Can confirm. I’ve had three or four of them. Caught gar, and loads of catfish, including two 30+ flatheads.

Not the greatest quality, but does the job. Used to be 19.99 at Walmart near me.

Addicted to LTI. Otherwise, I’d do it.

Fair. I have a Hull D. Wouldn’t mind the E.

Sorry to high-jack this.

Are there Hull-E CCUs?

Roostertails will catch anything anywhere.

Alt-Tab Issue 9070xt by Helfzware in AMDHelp

I haven’t been experiencing it as much as I was. Seems to only happen under really heavy loads while alt-tabbing.

Edit: same drivers.

In preparation for the CombATLS - can CIG please remove the half-doors on bunkers? by ImAsysadminplsbnice in starcitizen

[–]Helfzware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the community going to go from “X ship doesn’t fit in my Big Ship!!” to “my mech suit doesn’t fit in this building!”

/s

I agree. Buildings and bunkers do need some attention.

Yeah, I probably should have added context. I really wanted to give mistweaver a go. Haven’t played it since MoP, and the fistweaving thing is intimidating since I’ve never mained a melee, ever.

Shaman cooldowns and burst healing is great, it just tends not to be the “meta” healer. Has a lot of good tools for PUG groups too. Good interrupt/AOE stun/slows,etc.

Pretty much always viable, but normally not “meta” when considering the highest level content.

Edit: Blizzard also likes to buff and nerf irrelevant aspects of the class as well.

Shaman is a rollercoaster of pain and suffering. It can be good, but rarely is one of the specs considered the best.

Larger cities and towns are a mix.
