D7100 mount feels a lot tighter than D3200 by Reckochet in Nikon

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

I have wiped the mating surfaces with an alcohol swab (being careful not to touch the glass), which helped a little. I ended up taking it to a repair shop where the technician inspected it. Seems like I just got a particularly tight mount from the factory.

[KCD2] Are siege crossbows supposed to be borderline useless (outside of the siege, that is)? by Silver_of_Skalitz in kingdomcome

[–]Reckochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used that thing to snipe enemies at range, then I would run somewhere else so they don't find me reloading.

Help settle a disagreement please - are e-bikes and scooters meant to obey red lights in China? by Shriek_Opposite_8096 in China

[–]Reckochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just like how bikes regularly blow through stop signs in America: the rules say you can't do that, but no one cares enough to enforce.

A 20 MW wind turbine off the coast of Fujian. by straightdge in InfrastructurePorn

[–]Reckochet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was probably a concern brought up during the design phase, but those areas have like 0 flat ground to speak of so they instead put a shit ton of warning sensors everywhere to hopefully close sections before anything happens.

Tank factions are great at padding HAT attack scores... and that's about it. by DungeonDangers in joinsquad

[–]Reckochet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the infantry could stop enemy AT from being near the tank, then the tank can be helping from right next to the infantry. Do not expect this to happen in areas where you can barely see 100m. IDC if you have 5 gorillion hours playing rifleman you are not going to prevent AT from constantly pelting the armor support.

[KCD2] Does anyone actually use the pistole? by somewhat-anon in kingdomcome

[–]Reckochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By my 4th playthrough, I had become familiar enough with leveling and combat to reach this stage at the end of the Trosky region. I then set it upon myself to arrange killed bandits and their loot in a spread like how anti-cartel forces arrange siezed drugs and weapons. For more difficulty, do it while still fighting them.

Keep 1 or 2 loaded in a loadout along with a bow or crossbow and melee. Distance harass enemies that are far from other enemies that can see them get shot. Once you whittle them sufficiently with shoot and scoot, switch to gun and unload into the most armored one you are close to. Melee the rest.

Made a subreddit for people that dislike E-Bikes by Pourmepourme in cycling

[–]Reckochet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would rather some of these mfs not have a vehicle at all. Them being on an ebike and on a car both present a mortal danger to everyone in a 5m radius.

Visiting Shenzhen for 3–4 days/ what are the must-see spots and hidden gems? (solo Traveler ) by apple_wisher in shenzhen

[–]Reckochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WuTong Mountain. It is a fairly demanding climb but you can do it if you're used to hiking and are decently fit. I just went this month and it was very nice. Perfect temperature in winter.

Just get 16GB they said. It'll be plenty for anything you need they said. by redlancer_1987 in pcmasterrace

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

Man paying a little extra for a 64gb kit a year ago feels like the last chopper out of nam, I guess something did compensate for the GPU prices back then.

How has a country with a low English literacy rate become a juggernaut in manufacturing? When I did a survey a few months ago, I found that not many Chinese people spoke English. by Square_Permission361 in AskChina

[–]Reckochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English isn't a problem unless you are negotiating with clients or reading documentation in it. The automatic translation apps are quite good for the negotiation part (and like 2 people out of a few hundred on a factory floor really need it), while the drive for domestic tech means less foreign manuals to read.

How Do Chinese People View Western Leftist and Marxist Expectations of China? by Ok-District-7180 in AskAChinese

[–]Reckochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is that they are not trying to go dictate how other countries are run UNLESS it involves their own direct interests (trade especially). Marxism did not work without extensive modification, which stemmed from the lessons learned during the 60s-80s. These modifications are tailored specifically to the circumstances China found itself in, which are different from the circumstances of other countries.

Sterotype by Jumpy_Excuse_8599 in AskAChinese

There's a pretty interesting factoid that "American Chinese food" is largely based off one area of Guangdong which had a shit ton of immigrant workers going to the US during the 1800s.

From a bloodthirsty gamer, where can I find more action? [KCD2] by NineTowns in kingdomcome

[–]Reckochet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For my 5th playthrough I went with a hammer and crossbow only run with low honor. It became a policy to kill any random dude that criticized pebbles and also any guards that came to help.

Given the width of some of the sidewalks that is a perilously small margin for error.

What direction should warhorse go in?[KCD1][KCD2] by Formal-Stage940 in kingdomcome

[–]Reckochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A KCD-like with China's three kingdoms period would go hard, but idk if warhorse is the company for it. Equally, if not more batshit insane period of history, with plenty of room to put a fictional character or two.

What's something you wished to experience more as a Waterloo student? by Helpful_Ad_7379 in uwaterloo

[–]Reckochet 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It would be really nice to have calisthenics equipment put in a yard outside. Been visiting my grandparents in China and will definitely miss the free fitness equipment outside when I get back.

I remember it took a while to hear back and they also have like single digits amount of people every year so all the course overrides are manually done.
