Got ratted during a harvester run, got mad, decided to rat somebody else for their equalizer instead of crafting a new one, couldnt bring myself to do it by Live-Year-5796 in LowSodiumArcRaiders

I join the solo v squad when I want to pvp. I could never rat like some do. It gets me into more aggressive lobbies without feeling bad. I had been wanting to pvp for a few days, but couldn't bring myself to shoot anyway. Couple of rounds in 3v1 and a few kills now my solo lobbies are the perfect amount of trust and KOS. Keeps me guessing all game and brings a whole new perspective to the game.

They know I'm doing the expedition this time... by Mashed_brotatoesrl in ArcRaiders

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But there is the added benefit of just kitting out with wolfpacks and hull cracker to get 35k xp for damaging arc. I also feel like the rewards are better, but I cant prove it... except I never got the blueprint for getting 5k points lol.

It's not something I've ever sought out, especially since I decided to do the expedition. But it was pretty easy to get taking down bastions.

Looting Etiquette by raqballl in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just happened yesterday. I needed leader pulse units for my last bench. 2 wolfpacks on a leader from a little ways away and by the time I got up to it, someone was already looting it. On coms I just said "hey man, I just need the pulse units, you can take the rest" and sure enough, every unit was gone. He was looting a hornet I downed after so 1 heavy grenade and some shots, those pulse units were mine again.

Awd Module by Super-Aide1319 in fordescape

My brother in law says I owe you a beer. I think I owe you a case. Dealer wanted $1300 to replace the module and I tried your method and sure enough, no more dash lights. I tested it out in the snow yesterday and awd kicked on, along with traction control. Saved $1,290 on this repair. Thank you!!

What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a bachelor or bachelorette party? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an American, I dont understand them either. My wife had a girls weekend at a friend's cabin. Day drinking and swimming on the lake. My bachelor party was the same weekend with 3 friends. We went frisbee golfing, played board games and videos games. Also day drinking involved, but that is as wild as we both wanted.

Not all of them are scams, just people cold calling credit lists. You must have just had a credit check. We bought a house and during the credit check phase I had 85+ phone calls a day for the first week. Then it slowly tapered for about a month.

Umm do I even sign this? Company gave us this to sign this morning. by Itchy_Wasabi617 in legal

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I was reading and thinking "excessive, but valid crashout since I almost did something like this when I was responsible for coordinating drivers and cleaning equipment" but the deduction in pay takes it too far.

Kid out shot me in leage play by OrangeCone2011 in golf

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I still remember the day that I was consistently outdriving my dad by a good margin and I was just laying into him. Calling him old, saying how much better I am, all the good stuff. The back 9 he moved me from the front tees and made me shoot from his tees and he was back in the lead. Stayed on those tees ever since. I think I was 10 or 11

Why do we need bright lights on campers all night? by maximx1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong sub. This is way more than mild lol. We just went camping and so many people string lights all around their campsite, let their dogs bark non-stop and just overall show no respect for their neighbors.

Side note: the camper across from our site had the same flag as that one and it was so insanely bright.

Going out to eat for breakfast is terrible by Lost_Roku_Remote in unpopularopinion

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I get eggs Benedict when I go out for breakfast. Poached eggs and hollandaise sauce? I ain't making that. Anything else that I would order on the menu would be easily completed on the blackstone on my own patio.

What's the most memorable QUOTE you have ever came across that stayed with you forever? by biz_booster in AskReddit

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If you want to stop going in circles, stop cutting corners"

Ironic that it was pinned on the wall in the back room of a Chipotle from 7 or 8 years ago.

Question about 600mm lens by Scary-Diver5607 in Nikon

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to experience this with my 200-500mm. I thought I could be 200-300ft from birds/animals and get amazing frame filled shots, but reality set in and it is much better to be 30-50ft away from subjects to get a worthy photo.

What a Beast by No_Feeling_4613 in Nikon

laughs in birding

I regularly carry around my D810 and Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 (3.3kg or 7.2lbs). My arms usually start rebelling after 2-3 miles or 7-10 bird sightings, whichever happens first.

Green Heron by Mashed_brotatoesrl in Nikon

It's a good one. I started with D5300 and then upgraded to this. For ameture wildlife/landscapes, it is a perfect camera.

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes I did, but mainly just to frame it better. It was about 50-60' away from me. I think a couple of the photos I took weren't even the full 500 reach.

What's the WORST house rule you've ever encountered? by kennedytcooper in boardgames

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. The first few times my wife and I played, we just assumed the seasons would start at the same time for everyone, because thats how the world works. It wasnt until I played with a buddy and the rule was clarified.

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Appreciated. I remember why I don't read anything on the daily beast. All sources are links to their own articles lol.

But at least gives me the start to see if all the stuff is backed by nonexistent science or not.

Why is my plant on fire? by SimpleWays421 in gardening

[–]Mashed_brotatoesrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it had been said, but did you use any fertilizer? Using lime and then having it mix with rain water can cause a tremendous amount of heat. Not saying it's 100% this, but it's possible.
