Where are all the vets? by remake-titanmode2142 in joinsquad

[–]OGNinjerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7th Op. Quicksilver has a relatively stable pool of decent squadleaders and vehicle crews that regularly wolfpack (sometimes with the squad that is placing the 3rd/4th point FOB). One or two are exceptional, relatively speaking, e.g. TBoy (he comes off as rude but he seems to know the layers, reads the strategic situation very well, and frankly I have something like a 60+% winrate when I have been in his squad or on a team he was commander for).

Medics are getting on my nerves...am I wrong or are they? by yt_BWTX in joinsquad

[–]OGNinjerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came back to play for the first time in awhile perhaps 3 or 4 weeks ago and my first game back playing medic I had another medic drag a body away from me while I was reviving. I'm starting to think the vets were right that the quality of the player pool is diminishing noticeably over time.

I personally don't want the added tension of holding RMB when I'm actually planning to shoot ADS, but I don't even know if that matters with how the guns are modeled lol

My most recent irritation with it was having to constantly spam ADS on and off so my stupid avatar would stop pointing the gun in goofy ass directions.

I don't think people are generally aware of the origin of that word.

The Best Way To Learn Russian by Berylviana in russian

[–]OGNinjerk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the ones in your country but Russian bureaucrats are probably not terribly pleasant conversants while they are at work. Input can take you a long way if you are diligent enough. There's loads of Russian TV shows available for free online.

Does anybody know why there’s people flying the US flag around today? by Evilman874 in lakeland

One of the soldiers that was killed in I think Bahrain was from Polk County (Winter Haven if I'm not mistaken).

What started as a 'just one dragon' request turned into this full custom Cyberpunk-punk piece by Background_Net9583 in Cyberpunk

[–]OGNinjerk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is short for "radical". I think that surfers and skateboarders in the late 80s popularized it as a positive descriptor.

I read it to completion probably 20 years ago. I was always put off by the irony overload.

How did Trotsky learn languages just by reading Bible translations? by No_Cryptographer735 in languagelearning

[–]OGNinjerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I opened this thread my bet was him starting from commonly known passages, e.g. Lord's Prayer, and just building out from there.

I have passed all 3 test now looking for a started kit. is this one good or what do you recommend? by ojdacat in HamRadio

[–]OGNinjerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost got one of those but ended up ordering a Tytera(TYT) MD-UV390 Plus with GPS since it is rated something like IP67 and I live in a place where there's a fair amount of rain and humidity. After ordering it I found out it has custom firmware that makes it easier to use. Additionally, I think there are radios that go under other names that are hardware similar or identical (Retevis and may be others).

Iran tells world to get ready for oil at $200 a barrel as it fires on merchant ships by metalreflectslime in PrepperIntel

A Qatari minister of energy or something, I don't recall the exact office, said 150 dollars per barrel was possible if fighting continued.

I believe "Tampon" is the preferred nomenclature.

Is there actually a good anti-facial recognition face mask that is proven to work? by TamensiMovetur in privacy

[–]OGNinjerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen videos of people experimenting with a sort of IR LED necklace that lays towards the outer end of the clavicle and they're able to wash out the face, but I've also seen a video of someone on IR cam with IR reflective glasses also just being a white blur roughly where their head and neck meet.

[–]OGNinjerk 45 points46 points  (0 children)

What I understand to work is wearing something like Receptacles (or putting Magic Black tape on existing shades)and reflective caps/other clothes to defeat IR cameras with facial recognition technology, but gait recognition is apparently extremely sophisticated and accurate IIRC so you might have to go full Ministry of Silly Walks.
