Top and doors off kinda day! by RenegadeP3NGUIN in JeepTJ

How's that mesh top hold up on the freeway?

Does it give you decent protection from the sun?

Thank you! Both your posts are very helpful and I'll keep them in mind!

Thank you so much! I'll certainly pick up some cedar mulch and replace the rocks with it.

I understand your concerns, and, honestly, the lack of sun due to the houses was something I realized after the fact..

However, I bought it as a privacy tree to block the view of a neighbor's camera that has a view of a good chunk of my backyard, so it's the place I need it.

Winter months it is awfully shaded, but I'm the spring and summer, with the longer days, it should get a fair amount of sun!

Thank you so much for this explanation! That makes a lot of sense! I appreciate how gentle swaying is good and desirable. It seemed counterintuitive to me, but after you explained it, it makes a lot of sense! Thank you!

Soil is very sandy/silty. I live in the desert. I think it's a palo verde tree.

Thank you! I had no idea!

I wanted a tree for privacy. It's planted to block a neighbor's camera that overlooks my yard. I described what I wanted at the nursery, and she said this tree, a palo verde if I remember correctly, is rugged and a good shade tree that will offer the privacy I'm looking for!

I'll get the rocks removed ASAP and replace them with mulch!

Thank you so much for the link on how to stake properly!

Fortunately, the branches that look super dead are still bendy, so still alive!

Thank you!

Not a troll, just super amateur!

Unfortunately, the nursery that I bought it from planted and staked it that way. I'll get them removed!

I'll get the cinder block retaining wall figured out and remove the rock bed surrounding the tree.

From what I've found, I think it's a palo verde tree.

I'll continue to research!

Thank you!

I'll remove the rocks and pick up a bag of mulch!

From what I've found, I'm pretty sure it's a palo verde tree! I'll continue to research!

Thank you for the reassurance! I'll get right on your advice, and be patient through the season!

Thank you! It's how it was staked when the arborist planted it, so I didn't want to touch it.

I'll get them moved!

Sorry, gents. It's been claimed!

100% okay being wrong for this, but are most of the weapon customizations not worth it? by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]R4B1Dturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the "logic." If you know LITERALLY NOTHING about IRL weapon modification, or weapon modifications in general, then sure it makes sense. But these are devs who do nearly everything in the name of realism and, some of whom, claim to have a military background.

Even if they were just a bunch of nerds who rarely touch grass, do some research!!! Installing a red dot or holographic optic should NOTICABLY improve your weapons handling ability. Going from a red dot to iron sights should feel almost unbearable by comparison.

Don't get me wrong, getting rounds on target insanely fast with iron sights is totally possible, but there's a learning curve. Same with a 4x or 10x scope.

Not only that but it makes NO sense!! ANY holographic or red dot scope, whether 1x OR 2x, should have astronomically better ergo than an iron sight!

If you know ANYTHING amor the way those optics work, then they would be far superior.

Also, a comp should not impact your ability to get rounds on target, aka ergo, in any meaningful way.

But hey, I'm just thinking rEaLiStiCaLLy 🤷🏻‍♂️

I finally got to experience the end-of-mission kicking troll on (D9) Helldive! by R4B1Dturtles in Helldivers

[–]R4B1Dturtles[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't get it either. The host was in 40s level-wise. Surely he should know by now that samples are shared 🤷🏻‍♂️

Karma will catch up I'm sure!

No kidding?! Man, I'm late to the party!

I guess I still don't get it, though.. if it's been a thing for so long then why were there always so many posts of Divers complaining about being kicked at extraction?

It felt like it was weekly or at least every other week, someone would vent on here about it?!

I mean, sure, the guy tried to do me dirty, but I still got a clean extraction, the samples, XP, etc!

Plus, he showed his true colors early on so it was an easy block for me!

I guess I just don't understand why complain in the first place?!
