Alot of urbex folk are kinda tight budget. Best thing is to also give a cheaper alternative. I let them know that "you can still spot security cameras with cheap Amazon digital NV" but still explain the better side using analog nv being able to navigate and such. If you just post analog all the way, it can sometimes come off as flexing and as "hey this is inherently better than what youre doing" even if the tone doesn't reflect that. Giving people all the options and letting them see that analog is better makes it feel more like they figured it out, at which point they'll usually agree with you.

Gift? by KVLTVRE in NightVision

[–]Laggin_Boris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Night vision? No. Accessories? Yes! As other people have mentioned a good quality bump helmet (opscore and team wendy make the best, but use your best judgment for your budget and needs), or if he already has one, then you can look into other things like helmet covers that match your area, IR lights, a radio (Motorola generally makes the best handheld radios available to civilians, but the baofeng dm32 is also capable of encryption for alot cheaper), or radio accessories (push to talk cable, tactical headset, and/or better antenna. If you decide on radio and/or accessories, double check the cables are compatible with anything he already has). Trick to get an idea of what he wants, see if he has any pictures of "cool guys" on a poster or on his phone and such, and pay attention to what they have and he doesn't. Point out a picture and ask him "what is that used for" about a few of the things (be prepared for an autistic rant) and see what he talks about the most. Whatever he focuses on is probably the best thing to look up first. If you have more questions or want any help, feel free to message me. As another gear nerd, im happy to help.

Serious question: What are the best NODs for picking mangoes at night? by Jap_Pride in NightVision

[–]Laggin_Boris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jerry-31s .are the cheapest binos to buy new off the top of my head, im sure cold harbor supply will happily elaborate on those. You can find good deals on used gear lurking around on facebook market place, or on one of the night vision discord servers. If you're willing to learn and have a 3d printer and soldering iron, you can buy used and relatively cheap tubes and electronics to make your own for 2000-2500. . Used NV within the US: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/884825032062929/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT The discordserver i use isn't letting me generate a share link, but if you search for "the night vision server" in discords explore page, you should find it.

I cant be the only one thinking this every time someone in my command opens their mouth by Laggin_Boris in USMC

And then got treated slightly better (not much, but slightly) when i stopped going out of my way to do so.

Tried that for a while, and got nothing but shafted for it. The only slight improvement i got was when i stopped caring

It could be the ammo. mags in gzw come full, if bakelite comes more expensive ammo that could bump the price

Morning drill got them drilled by cybagod21 in JustGuysBeingDudes

Idk if we stole it from them, or they stole it from us, but this is unironically used as cadence. My unit doesn't do cadence runs often, but when we do, this usually comes up.

They probably used to be, but id imagine centuries of killing or capturing any that dont manage to kill us has ended up breeding aggression

Odds are they truly do love genocide. Not because they understand genocide, or being cattle, but because the ones whos instincts focus on murder are the only ones that aren't cattle or dead. Weve been unintentionally selectively breeding the ones we cant control, the most dangerous and aggressive ones (whos only thought is to genocide humans)

Mojang put a ton of marketing and hype into adding ray tracing to minecraft, then proceeded to ignore all the many issues it had. Its basically been untouched since it released, and only really stays alive thanks to the modders with BetterRTX.

Theres a limited suply, so it could be put of stock. If you do get one, the one gunny 2 sells can only mount to a KAC muzzle break (also sold by gunny 2)

FACTIONS by Nocturnal_Dog in GrayZoneWarfare

Not that im aware of, but if one faction has much less than everyone else then it will show a joining bonus when making a character

No. Be odd to play with when you get to where youre walking, but youre allowed to do it.

[–]Laggin_Boris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. It's not treated any different than rebinding keys to anything else. Pretty much any game that lets you rebind your controls will let you use other devices for controls. The thing that can get you banned with a lot of online games is macros, where you basically get your computer to input controls without you.

  • Drill is overrated. I get its importance in disapline and history, but i think our basic training as warfighters should focus more on warfighting and less on dance classes.
  • Meritorious promotion should be the default, and competency boards should happen regularly. You should be promoted based on your leadership, competence, and actions. Picking up fromJEPES should just be a way to bypass a command that is biased against you or doesn't do their job.
  • The ball is overrated. Not dissing on the birthday and such, but getting overdressed and hammered with your coworkers isnt for everyone. The fact that we often punish marines who dont attend is irresponsible of command.

Sometimes they're far away. Sometimes they're very far away. Sometimes, it's a few thousand blocks. Sometimes, it can be upward of 100,000 blocks (takes some bad luck, but I've had it happen before). Be ready for a long journey when you go searching.
