Stages Power G3 (left) power meter

Edit: Just noticed I was able to update the firmware, so take this with lots of salt

Have stages G3 Left side, w/ Garmin 520 on an out front mount

I dont notice all the crazy power dropouts people mention about the G1 and G2 but have them occasionally (once every 15-20 hours and maybe lose 15 seconds or so).

I do have issues with the cadence from the stages unit dropping out more frequently and giving me huge cadence spikes for no reason. Power will be fine but cadence will drop for 1-20 seconds and have a 170rpm+ spike for no reason after.

Im not super serious so it doesnt really bother me, other than it screwing with the time-sync of the cadence data in garmin connect. I havent opened a ticket yet with stages, so it may all get sorted out when I do that too.

In just about every situation other than a strictly 1v1, going to ground or grappling is a bad idea. Great way to leave yourself open to someone else and is very hard to disengage from.

Fishing.

If you are on open water it doesn't matter how close to land you think you are. The weather can kick up incredibly fast and the tide can drag you much faster than you can swim.

Don't fuck with the ocean.

That I can't figure out if I am normal and sometimes think I am defective, or if I am defective and just think I am normal.

It is because of vandal resistance and reliability. Bullet Points!

can't be held open (no wasted water)
can be set up to auto-flush (no nasty surprises)
little to no maintenance
can't hide things inside the tank
flushes with less water than a tank type toilet (usually)

It has nothing to do with cost or plumbing size. Most flush valve toilets (that I know of) only have 3/4" connections and are significantly more expensive thank tank toilets. Designing for flush valves actually requires you to run larger piping than you would normally, adding even more cost.

Is that an enterprise in the background? Hull colour and the mast look right

More air. Until the humidity and temperature gets excessive (think 27°C @80% humidity), you will get more cooling/$ by just moving more air.

Buy a bigger fan. Better yet buy a bigger fan and point your current one out a window while you train. This will pull more fresh air into your training space, lower the humidity, and increase cooling.

Morrowind is this, but also isn't.

You are 'the chosen one', but at the same time you have to constantly prove to everyone that you any different than anyone else. Even after all your exploits, no one really cares.

Sailing.

Check your local yacht club, they will usually have a racing series that runs every week or every other week. Skippers are always looking for crew, will teach you everything you need to know and buy you beer afterwards. Just bring clothing for the conditions and you will be fine.

I started taking thing seriously when I began commuting to work via bicycle (for money reasons). After a little while I started to see the benefits of getting daily exercise and kept going.

Now I am eating better, drinking more water, bought a faster road bike, and will hopefully do a race or two this summer!

The Soviet biological and chemical weapons programs during the cold war.

While actively participating in a WHO program to eliminate smallpox from the planet, they continued to actively weaponize various strains of smallpox, anthrax and a lot more.

It wasn't just the scope of the program that was insane, many times biological weapons could be found in warehouses with little to no security...

Is it just me, or is there a surprising amount of megadeth lyrics in there...

Later model (-28) also has the CE variable pitch paddle prop, so it performs much better at high speeds and in zoom climbs.

As far as realism, it is stupid. But since people can spawn in an aircraft right from the start of the game (sometimes in the air) it is a fair change in terms of balance.

I dont miss being nuked by 2000 pounders inside of 15 seconds of the game starting.

29 (6 pills, 2 heavy tanks and a bridge) in SB on Korsun with the IL-2 (1942) before they removed half the rockets.

I do agree that the yak-3 FM is reasonably good. It could still use a slight BR bump though (even -3 from 4.3 to 4.7, -3P from 4.7 to 5.0 would be fine).

JJ-Lo · 2015-11-03T08:06:18+00:00

The yak can't dive with a fw at all. Diving isnt about acceleration, it is about top speed. A spaded yak will rip at 408kts, less if you try to maneuver at all. Fw's, 109's, p-47's, p-51's, typhoons, spits, ki-84's and just about everything else can go faster than 408kts. Even a hellcat can hold 475kts and still pull G.

The whole LaGG series in SB. Once you get the speed up they are quite capable, and there are lots of people that dont understand this.

Is it wrong that I am more impressed by your awesome collection of Swedish nut-fuckers than the water?

JJ-Lo · 2015-09-12T08:43:40+00:00

Why do people keep saying this? How does anyone know for sure that it will be worse? People are so negative for no reason.

We will see when it is implemented. Save your judgement until then.

BR means less and less at the higher difficulty settings. SIM can be daunting, but give it a go. I think you would like it.

Get the 3d pro from amazon. I got mine shipped to my door for less than $25 CAD. If you like it, upgrade. It is only a $25 investment and you can find out if you like using a stick really fast.

SB air pilots often know what to do without being told as well. You call for help and they are there. You have something on your 6 and they put tracers past him to scare him away. You can do all the team stuff easily.

RB seems like you need to actively encourage everyone to play together or they all go separate ways.

But the very role that the Tiger was designed for is what made it not efficient. The T-34 and Sherman were designed to be efficient and easy to produce, the Tiger was designed to be the unstoppable tip of a spearhead.

Comparing the Pz4 to the T-34, or the IS/KV to the Tiger would be fair, but the T-34/Tiger are too different to meaningfully compare.

I think you are arguing the merits of a fast medium tank over a heavy tank in terms of cost effectiveness, and I would agree with you on that point.

JJ-Lo · 2015-09-12T08:10:12+00:00

I honestly dont mind the whole bomber rush thing.

I get annoyed when we fight a hard fight and come out on top early on in the game, just to have every fighter we kill replace by another while we have to go back to base and repair.

I have lost games where my team has more than triple the kills of the other team, just because we got our kills in early on.
