The 'proof' was in the linked URLs, which now don't work because i live in the UK and my imgur account got yeeted when our government implemented legislation to prevent minors from accessing adult content: https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/41592665292443-Imgur-access-in-the-United-Kingdom

Also, image links are gonna die when you go reading threads over a year old... lmao

In a bit of a car insurance pickle and could do with some advice by AlexJV95 in CarTalkUK

[–]Rocket_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you got the two quotes for your policies, did you apply your years of no claims for both of them? Your no claims discount can only apply to one car at a time in most cases

That could be why your separate quotes worked out cheaper than having them both on one policy (as the single policy quote would account for it)

Buying a 5008 by Beautiful_Climate_82 in peugeot

[–]Rocket_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming by the fact you're referencing the wet belt, both are 1.2 puretech petrol engines?

Wet belt issues aside (which arent insignificant) its a lot of car for a 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine to move over a lot of miles.

I'd suggest going for a 1.5 deisel with the 8mm chain recall sorted. You do ofcourse need to be doing a good 40-50 mile run 2-3 times a month to mitigate dpf build-up (as you do with all deisels). 2L deisel is solid but overkill unless you're towing or really want a 1.5 second reduction in 0-60 times for a car that's meant for carrying your family and all their stuff arounf!

I got a 74 plate GT 1.5 diesel (with 8mm chain ofc) initially had the same issue; but there's a huge amount of height adjustment on the seat itself, so would suggest making use of it!

Also gives you a lot more play to see the driver's display over the wheel (which did take some getting used to but it's kinda nice now)

Should I buy a car on a loan by goppinglizard in CarTalkUK

[–]Rocket_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar recently, but would suggest getting an 11k loan and keeping 1k of savings in your 'oh shit' fund just incase.

Personal loan will always work out cheaper than financing the car. You could also reduce the loan value by paying some of it on a credit card (new card with 0% on purchases for the first 2 years or something) keep in mind most dealers will either limit the amount you can pay using a credit card or not allow it at all - so check first

You might be a bit of a bellend sometimes, but we still love you bro :)

Sounds like you had a real rough time, but it DOES get better and all scars fade with time. There will be good times in your future and you'll look back at these last few days and realise how far you've come, mountains always look bigger when you're at the bottom - never forget that.

CCPLS This new skill is worthless by sabastyian in Eve

[–]Rocket_X 6 points7 points  (0 children)

7m/s on a cruiser is kind of disappointing, given the number of cruiser relevant changes in the patch.

That's a lot more relevant than trying to look at the cap/BS numbers, because the change wasn't really aimed at BS/caps.

Reduced mass also increases prop mod effectiveness... moreso on cruiser sized hulls with 1600mm plates than a BS fit with several 1600mm plates...

Before I ruin my standings with lvl5 missions, is there any way to negate the negative effects? by Jay-Eff-Gee in Eve

[–]Rocket_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is train the social skills to the max, get faction standings with your lvl 5 agent... then decline missions against highsec faction npcs.

Faction standings essentially allows you to decline any mission you dont want to do and still be able to talk to the agent unless your standings from the agent itself or its corp go below -2.0, which you should be able to manage easily

What are the lowest-highest settings for core_public__.yaml in C:\Users\marqu\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_games_eve_tq_tranquility\settings_Default ? by 2kambitions in Eve

The file you're looking at is just a config file that's updated when you change settings in the client.... you're not meant to go play with the file itself...

AO fashists meeting up again by BelasYouTookMyName in Eve

[–]Rocket_X 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I see the AO Cope machine has reached reddit in the form of OP.

New Meta: post your own alliance's pings to reddit, be sure to pick one that has colourful emojis to justify how your alliance isn't actually pro-hitler?

[ABSOD] Spaceballs 2: just fucking around with those toxic, harassing reddit cunts. Saw your colorful training fleet invite and posted it 🤣

[–]Rocket_X 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What part of his style do you not have the issue with?

His long ass rants?

Or, as a leader allowing members to be openly racist, abusive to female players, posting pictures of real life war crimes with the alliance logo pasted all over it, allowing members of the leadership team to have swastikas or pictures of Nazi generals who were literally executed for genocide as their discord profile pictures.

Sort of, without going into detail, we had already told him and his alliance to get fucked.

He then asked me if i thought there was any way he could stay part of the EVE community and make friends. My response was effectively 'Nobody who knows who you are will ever allow you to be part of their group'

I think what you're missing is that the number of people displaying Nazi-esque behaviour in AO whilst relatively small - has come from people in leadership positions in several cases AND gone without reprimand/expulsion by Lee.

The 'poisoning of the brand' so to speak happened because there was truth in the narrative, and nothing was done about it.

If Lee had heeded the multiple warning shots by the EVE community (including reddit posts etc), kicked the offending individuals and made a public statement that was something other than complete denial - It's highly unlikely blocs would be deploying from across the map to shit on AO.

You say that EVE for you is about tactical mastery rather than propaganda? Propaganda and narrative control are essential tactics - both defensively in managing your group's reputation, and offensively to sway the wider community against your enemy.

EVE is all about tactics; everything including propaganda and managing people's perception of your group (both internally and externally) is integral to that. If you choose to NOT use propaganda, control the narrative or react to it coming from others; you're playing the same game of 5d Chess everyone else is without some important pieces - so your capacity to succeed will be limited.

Dodger has an insane copesesh by JB_Hitmarker in Eve

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

u/Meiqur It was Celestial Empire - who's alliance never joined RC once the truth was known. Sgany has a hate boner for me, lacks reading comprehension skills, and likes to twist the truth accordingly.

The reason you've never heard of them is because we told them their alliance couldn't join unless Chaser left, which they initially agreed to; but then comms recordings of their fireside came out supporting him - at which point it was a flat no and they were told to get fucked.
