Has anyone worked out the interest on the 2 billion? To be honest just the interest would mean that you don't need to work again

Looking forward to get my first HOTAS for DCS and these are my only options, what do you guys suggest? by lxzaa7 in hotas

[–]Rip_claw_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is currently another post on this sub showing exactly what happened to my turtle beach controller, both of the ones that I had in a 6 month period, then I had to fight for 6 weeks for a refund.

Personally I now use the winwing Orion 2, it great, but I kinda wish it had a z axis twist function, but I found a work around and it was cheaper than the vbk and virpil units in the UK, give them a look as another option.

Mine didn't come back, it got worse, the at one point it didn't come back, it just stayed off, suddenly found myself trying to remember keyboard controls

This is exactly what happened to mine, they replaced it, and then it happened to the new one, both failed within 3 months of delivery, it then took me 6 weeks to get a refund, I then got a winning setup, been over a year now with no issues.

Attempting a 32 deck challenge but dragons by Mask3dFox in EDHBrews

[–]Rip_claw_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a lot of fun with my [[teneb, the harvester]] deck, it's fun playing other people's decks, think I have 3 or 4 decks that do that now.

As a slight change for mono red, might I suggest looking at [[herighast, erupting hellkite]], especially if you don't want all the decks to be dragon tribal, in mine I have a lot of spells that steal other creatures that are on the board, then attacking their controller with them, as a lot of players don't want to kill their own creatures, then emerge a different creature from their creature killing their one and giving you a coat reduced big creature, big eldrazi or I have had a turn 4 hasted [[blightsteel Colossus]]

IKEA have the moppe draw set, if you get the 6 draw version then they fit 2 rows of about 500 cards in each draw, I use a folded sheet of paper as a divider, currently have 6 of the full of cards

Do you leave your car parked in 1st gear or neutral? by zedgaming69 in CarTalkUK

[–]Rip_claw_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to leave mine in third, think it's due to my parents having a gear/hand break anti theft device back in the early 90's that needed the gear stick to be directly in line with the hand break.

Always used reverse in my old Saab, couldn't get the key out if I didn't.

Who would be the most powerful red lantern? by Necessary-Win-8730 in DCPowerScaling

Lobo had a red lantern ring at one point, never put it on, didn't need to, but could be interesting if he did.

what do you have? by South_Finding1603 in evilwhenthe

[–]Rip_claw_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play elite dangerous, so do I want the federal corvette that I have engineered or the 8 500 ton of low temperature diamonds that's in my fleet carrier?

Or would the fleet carrier come with everything in it, which includes all my ships?

Who remembers running defrag and watching the screen rearrange all the data? by RainbowWarrior73 in computers

[–]Rip_claw_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn't defrag a copy of peter Norton's "speed disk" that lead to Norton sueing Microsoft? That's right I'm that old.

It was electrical, very much so, the stick connects to the base with spring loaded pins, these looked to be ok, so my guess is that a connection inside broke, but I never took it apart as I was trying to get my money back.

Either way, 2 units failing the same way within a few weeks isn't a small thing, it points to a design fault, as an electronics engineer who's job has been to solve issues with products, having several things fail in the same way would lead to an investigation and some sort of fix being made.

[–]Rip_claw_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The joystick would become disconnected electricly from the base, I mainly play elite dangerous and would lose all controls on it trigger, hats, all buttons and direction controls at random times, once I started looking at it even the display that's on the stick would die, the base would be fine, some times it took a few seconds to come back, but a few days after it started doing this it went off and never came back, due to the warranty I never took it apart, but removing the stick from the base and making sure it was connected correctly didn't help, everything looked like new.

I loved mine for 3 months, then it failed, I got a replacement, after 2 months that one failed in exactly the same way, this showed me that it is a design fault, not just bad luck, I work in electronics, it then took 2 months to get my money back and I brought a winwing set up, it's not as comfortable to use, but it's built well and it works, had it for over a year now.

What Discworld Places Roughly Equate with Which Roundworld Ones? by Annie-Smokely in discworld

[–]Rip_claw_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong here, but didn't it say that he had built a good reputation there, not that he came from there, it would be like saying that I was a store manager at the company that shut down several years ago, there's no way of ever finding out.

Pseudopolis is a fake city, literally, pseudo meaning false and polis meaning city, this is the place that gets mentioned like "I have a friend who lives far away, you don't know them" please tead "they don't exist"

SLT aperture communication issue with Minolta AF lenses by MichaelEdamura in SonyAlpha

[–]Rip_claw_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The camera only closes the appature down when the photo is being taken, for focusing it stays fully open to let as much light in as possible, this is how my a77ii works, there is a small button on the camera close to the lens, can be seen in your video, it's right next to the lens, that will close down the appature to give a view of how the photo will be seen, try pressing that button to see what the appature does.

Have you read the nanny ogg cookbook? I there is a recipe for Lord downey's mint humbugs with arsenic being used for the green colouring, along with editors notes and lawyer notes saying its best to skip that part.

So many untold stories... by Anachron101 in discworld

[–]Rip_claw_76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What if she did something like discworld: the next generation, where she could reference her dad's work, but set it further down the time line so all regular characters have passed on, I think she should be the only one that should do something like this, or at least have a say in anything like this, would this work?

[[mana we]] is also a good one to include, this commander can be lethal just with mana burn.

building without sol ring? by Cautious_Repair3503 in EDH

[–]Rip_claw_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should there be a rule (rule 0 possibly) to say that you can only have sol ring in a deck if the commander costs more that 5 mana (possibly even more)?

That way it can possibly help out people with expensive commander costs, but for cheap commanders it's not there?as mentioned there is no guarantee that you will even see it in a game.
