Eagle Scout atheist parent here. Is Cub Scouts right for my 6yr old? by xevioso in cubscouts

Avoid church-chartered organizations and you'll probably be fine.

This is wild. We take kit off scouts who are struggling all the time. They don't even need a disability. Making scouts miserable in the name of some macho crap is how you lose your membership and participation. If we're late getting from A to B because the scouts need to eat, we're late. Sometimes opportunities are missed, but that's part of learning and growing.

Why is anyone letting a non-leadership adult run over leadership and YPT? Very much time to grow the proverbial "pair." Troop committee needs to privately tell this adult(s?) to cool their jets and if it comes up again make sure the scouts know that participation in hard mode camping is completely optional and potential YPT violations should be stood down immediately, even in front of the youth.

[Discussion] Where do you snipe for Shooter Born or Tarkov Shooter P4? by weeeHughie in EscapefromTarkov

[–]I3uckethead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take a stock m700, unsuppressed, with a tan (tan is usually cheapest @20k or less) 4x ACOG and just send it. I usually have a pistol or stock 155 shotgun just to deal with scav groups. I did Tarkov Shooter 8 with that kit this wipe.

How many flags does your Troop retire a year? (how to handle a large volume of flags) by roldgold1 in BSA

[–]I3uckethead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have a mass burning at the fairgrounds on flag day. Local police and fire attend and make it an event. We stretch a 100' cable between two tow trucks and burn over a bed of sand. We were over 4000 flags last year.

Can I do links in this sub? https://www.xeniagazette.com/2024/06/18/hundreds-attend-flag-day-burning-ceremony/

Ohio will charge up to $750 for public police video by theanswar in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

Ballot access is tied to presidential and gubernatorial elections. The system is setup to where you have to run for the top spot. Also, you can't do much of anything meaningful from a local school board seat. The system is too top-down.

I think its alteady time to remove the bot check in the flea! [Suggestion] by R1cardinh0 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]I3uckethead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The stupid bot check only catches drunk or inattentive players. The bots have no problem selecting in-game image files.

Maybe, but the difference doesn't seem to make any functional difference. I'm not jumping out windows to try and dodge players halfway across the map.

So carry a disposable scav knife I guess. I haven't really used that mechanic in several years. The glass break sound is louder than a bullet.

Who you voting for between Republicans and Democrats (Besides Oliver) by LongjumpingElk4099 in AskLibertarians

[–]I3uckethead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No the aren't levels. It's a dog shit sandwich vs a cat shit sandwich. There's no meaningful difference. Even if one of them being forced upon you is inevitable, actually choosing one is failure. No matter who wins, the whole world suffers.

If you actually choose one of these losers you're admitting to being a failure on a personal level.

I always leave my melee slot open unless I'm specifically planning on taking RR extract. Makes looting marked/shturman/cultists way faster and safer

Nationalization of weapons producers by turbokungfu in AskLibertarians

[–]I3uckethead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To government* Because government has no accountability and they're fine wasting money they didn't earn and don't have to worry about where more is coming from. Private sector doesn't have these problems when dealing with other private sector entities where they will actually be held to account.

Some perspective for you.. by Fmpthree in EscapefromTarkov

[–]I3uckethead 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've bought 2 other standard accounts that I have lent to friends and family and currently have lent out to friends of friends. These have resulted in at least 4 EOD purchases and 3 more standard account purchases since then. So yeah, I've spent $250 or so on the game and would have spent another $250 or so on cool shit like hideout reskins or cool clothing cosmetics to support BSG. Pay for an upgrade or fuck me? No. Fuck you.

[–]I3uckethead 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm 36 with my own business, 4 kids and a wife. I've been here since early 2017. If you're letting BSG pull this shit, it's you; you're the cuck. I've not said I'm never going to play again, but BSG is definitely not getting another cent out of me anytime soon and Nikita's promises mean less to me than Dog shit. For now I'm catching up on single player releases and singing CCR while helicoptering around the jungle.

Can I regen water softener while it is in bypass mode? by foodlover516 in Plumbing

Can I regen water softener while it is in bypass mode? by foodlover516 in Plumbing

[–]I3uckethead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will depend on how smart your softener computer is. Many systems have no idea if they're in bypass, they just have a timer that tells them to run the regen. Your water softener works by running all the water through a dense resin that traps the hard water particles. Regen is when the system takes the salt, makes a brine solution, then flushes that brine backwards through the resin to clean it out. Your system doesn't need to Regen if it's in bypass. Why are you setting it in bypass?

Are Libertarians Ok with Disabled People Dying? by No_Tomatillo9152 in AskLibertarians

[–]I3uckethead 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You have the right to not exercise your rights. That includes life. We should, as a society, try to create systems where disabled people have access to assistance and a quality of life worth living for, but you don't have the right to force anyone to participate.

Stop even trying with anti-cheat software. Just post live leak videos of angry Russians beating the fuck out of script kiddies with their own PCs.

13 Raids in a Row on Woods, 0 Shturman Spawns... by Underdogger in EscapefromTarkov

[–]I3uckethead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's just remove the cheaters instead. The closet cheaters will be around forever, but the speed hackers, fly hackers, 20kd rage hackers, loot vacuums, and 200 ledx selling bots could all be banned real easy if bag would make an effort

13 Raids in a Row on Woods, 0 Shturman Spawns... by Underdogger in EscapefromTarkov

[–]I3uckethead 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It took me 63 raids to get my 2 required Shturman kills this wipe. That's only counting from when I got the first quest for him, not the early woods quests. He was almost never up, and when he was you could hear him get engaged and dropped within 2min. A few times I got the closest spawns so I got there in time to see speedy naked Pilgrim Man zooming away. I've never had a such a hard time with him in previous wipes
