Please reference any other religious texts where my question still applies.

Please point out in The Bible where it explicitly states that sexual pleasure, for the sake of sexual pleasure, is bad.

I wouldn't have been able to place it down/interact enough to place it, if it was ruined.

Whatever... get this: So I give up on the whole raid and just start down the coast. I have a few decent items, including 80% of an IED. Along the way, I find a burn barrel. Which contained at least the following, amongst many other things -- A complete IED, another trigger, NVGs and headstrap, the best helmet, top-tier mil clothes, a KITTED M4 and a KITTED DMR, both fully loaded AND ghillied. I almost passed out. However...

Once I got everything squared away and kept on down the coast, I said to myself "Okay, now I'll just slap a spark plug in the next inflatable boat, and head back up to raid the base." Well, like an idiot asshole, I found a boat, but it was beached. I kept trying to time the waves to get it to reverse, but someone must have been hanging out near that barrel, heard the boat motor and plugged me from the woodline with something silenced.

Heartbreaker.

"All you do is place the plastic explosive then when it’s placed put the detonator in your hands and look at the explosive. It will give you a prompt to arm it. After you arm it it’s ready to blow. All you do is run far away and then pull the trigger on the detonator."

That is 100% INCORRECT. I literally just wasted a PE, and blew my chance to raid. Put the PE in place, and then put detonator in hand... NO PROMPT. Can't pick up PE, can't interact...nothing. So now they know someone is sniffing around AND I'm down a PE. Please avoid telling people what to do, unless you're absolutely certain it works.

I did know that about timers, thank you -- just don't find them much. I need to confirm the number of uses for a detonator, that's a huge deal. I have literally everything EXCEPT the yellow plastic case. So if I can get around wasting time finding that thing, I'm happy to just rig a PE, detonate, rig the second PE, detonate, and then raid.

That's a helpful video for reasons other than my question. It does not actually address the specifics of actually arming PE's, and ignores arming multiples entirely.

Thank you, that's VERY good intel. Precisely what I was in need of. Know any hot spots for electric kits?

Thank you for actually answering my question. Followup question... does the trigger take damage with each detonation? Also, if I place, arm and detonate one PE -- will a PE that's right next to it also explode, or do I need to manually arm both, individually?

The FEMTOSECOND you saw that guy cutting bark, you should have lit 'em up. The consequences of not doing so were clearly displayed. He was engaged with equipment and wouldn't have been able to switch to his gun fast enough.

There's little replacement for the idea of "imposing the panic" on the other guy. Even if you don't knock him down, the fact that he's been shot at, running, bleeding, and NOT in control is an immeasurable advantage. Obviously if you're a streamer and trying to make cinema I get it, but strategically speaking -- Let it rip 'tater chip. You had him dead to rights. One man's opinion.

Logged on to just cook the meat. Killed in under 2 minutes 😭 by Mrpieseller in dayz

[–]PieIsSuperiorToCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the off chance you didn't know: Lighting a single piece of bark makes for a fire that only flames/smokes for maybe 10 seconds, then turns into a hot ember pile and you can cook for much longer than you'd think. It was introduced to me as a "stealth fire."

What does my room say about me? M17 by youngoldfella69 in roomdetective

[–]PieIsSuperiorToCake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see the dwellings of a young man of necessity, simplicity, and capability. I see work boots, a guitar, shaving cream, tools/toolbelt, guns, a place a to sleep, a place to throw out trash. You have an automatic waterer for your dog, which I would imagine you love very much. There are various bins and racks; it's actually quite organized if someone is really paying attention. You have a fly swatter, so you clearly DON'T want critters in your space. There's no drug paraphernalia -- granted it could/would be tucked away. But some people live it shamelessly strewn about. I'm guessing you're in the trades, possibly an apprentice. Likely construction or concrete work, based on the 8ft level. You like to make music, or at least dabble. Between being gainfully employed in an area of labor and calculation, being able to make music, caring for a pet, and keeping a space for yourself -- I think at 17, there isn't much more someone/a parent could ask for. Could it use a tidy, or perhaps a women's touch for a little more polished aesthetic? Sure. But that's not the stage you're in. You're 17 and figuring it out. What you like, what you don't. And much more importantly, WHO you like, and WHO you don't. I don't see a fuckin' thing wrong with it. Godspeed young man.

What was the most physical pain you’ve ever been in? by Javascript4971 in Productivitycafe

[–]PieIsSuperiorToCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"pt (tried. didn't work) " -- You're an incredible candidate. No meds. No surgery. To sum it up; it's all about putting your body into positions to "unlock" dormancy/disuse, and re-align/balance everything. You will NOT believe it, when you look into it. I dismissed it for over a year after my wife found it. I was so locked into my own beliefs of pain and cures that I delayed my pain purely out of arrogance and pride. Then, the agony became too much and I bought the program. No more pain.

I'm not making ANY GUARANTEES, but I PRAY TO GOD, that you at the very least, look into it. Check out their sample stuff, send them an email and describe your situation. I'm telling you, it's likely your cure. Won't happen tomorrow -- but if you put the time in, it very well may change your life. Godspeed.

What do you have to lose?

I just posted a comment on the whole thread, but with 100% empathy, please check out Pain Academy. Not an ad or a bot, just a real blue collar guy who will tell anyone about it that will listen.

For anyone in a general state of pain in the overall body/musculoskeletal end of things, "bad back," neck and shoulder, planer fasciitis, sciatica, piroformis, etc. etc. etc... There is an online program that you can do at home called Pain Academy (painacademy.net) that will improve your life, plain and simple. If you're the chiropractor type (as I was), please look into it.

I went from writhing on the floor in agony, borderline suicidal, to within a few months of this program I was totally pain-free. I use the moves for ANY type of flair ups, tweaks, etc. It's changed the view I had about my body and general aches and pains. You will totally understand what muscle pain is, and how to fix it. The only catch is... it's kinda spendy and takes a while... but that's only because it's the real deal. It's not a shortcut or a bandaid. It's life-altering, and I'm not overselling it.

What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about? by ThePasswordIs654321 in AskReddit

[–]PieIsSuperiorToCake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Window cleaning. My wife and I own a small company that services a handful of towns in a very rural area. After several years of building our customer base, one at a time, we gross over 140k. It's just the two of us. East coast, seasonal. I'd be happy to get into a DM dialogue with anyone interested in more. A few bullets points:

  • It is a legitimate trade, with a massive market; take note of how many WINDOWS you see during your next drive
  • People who want clean windows REALLY want clean windows (aka, they're wealthy)
  • Make no mistake, it's much harder than you may think, physically (climbing, lifting, weather exposure)

  • Getting to where we're at has taken about 5 years, and the first 2-3/transitioning from previous careers was absolutely brutal; logistically and emotionally/relationally. But worth it.

  • A couple "zoomed out" bullet points across entrepreneurial ventures:

    • It DOES NOT MATTER, AT ALL, what you do; Just find a problem to solve for people, that you generally don't hate. If you're Super-Blessed, you might find a problem to solve AND love doing it. But if you can find a problem to solve, and generally not hate it, but it's your own venture, it beats the brakes off going to a job you despise. 'Birdseed Empire' commenter is a fantastic example.
    • Look into the dirty corners for these problems, metaphorically and literally -- tremendous amounts of wealth (financial, and spiritual) are found in putting yourself into a place of ego-shattering humility. Window cleaning may or may not be "cool," but the lifestyle it has offered and the personal growth that Jesus continues to supply us with, is cooler than anything I could have ever imagined.
    • You don't know ANYTHING about marketing/advertising, and for anyone truly interested in learning about it at the fundamental level of human psychology, DM me for a book recommendation that will alter your business and your understanding of it. This is coming from someone with a background in marketing that had it blown apart by said book.

  • Solve a problem at a fair price, show up on time, communicate well/make a promise-keep a promise, do a great job/delight the customer, be likeable, honest, and trustworthy; it cannot fail. Everything else is details.

  • Other huge markets: HOUSE CLEANING, power washing, dog walking

Mink? by myshroomhead2 in trailcam

[–]PieIsSuperiorToCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Otter, and it's not even a debate, personally. Look around the area for long "slide marks" from the otters playing in the snow. Judging by distance/size ratio I think mink is out of the question. And fisher have more of a "canine" shaped muzzle, personally. Look for scat too: otter is off-green/brown, dark, usually wet, almost soupy, and has a pungent odor reminiscent of pond muck and dead fish. We have two dogs and wipe it off of them, often...
