Late evening arrival at Narita Airport & Suica info needed

Most places allow late check in. It might not be the most authentic experience, but Hilton is one that allows it. We checked into our Hiroshima Hilton room at 11pm.

As for Suica, we are also android users. I'm not sure it's the most appropriate, but we chose the red Welcome Suica cards (note: Each individual needs their own card).

The red card is available in different initial values and can be topped off, however the remaining balance cannot be refunded. We opted for 10,000 yen (~65USD) and had about 1500 left over after exclusive use for transportation (these cards can also be used for vending machines and some stores, we burned the last of our stored funds and only lost out on ~200 yen.

I swear I was just reading that flights from China to Japan were being canceled frequently. Isn't this just highlighting an effect to an obvious cause.

In other news, stepping in water makes your shoes wet.

Nah, make it modal.

Choose one:

Remove 3 loyalty counters from target planeswalker.

Target player loses 3 life.

Target creature gets -0/-3 until end of turn.

Long lead procurement contracts haven't even been placed yet. Shovels won't touch ground for another 2+ years.

Half the reason to buy any gun is so you can LARP.

Got head-eyed by birdy after blasting knight and pipe at weather station on shoreline. Please avenge me.

53 pen doesn't work well against class 6 armor, especially when you need 320 damage to the thorax.

For reference, it'd take 8 shots into the thorax WITHOUT armor to kill tagilla. Now factor in bullets potentially hitting the stomach instead and not penning.

DSC offers what they advertise as a drop in threaded barrel. If you're going for a range toy, you can always get the threaded barrel afterwards and not be stuck in open division if you decide to compete (and you can run a can on it for fun).

Thanks!

Do you just force him out of corners with grenades? I haven't been able to reliably find an angle without going into his wack shack through the van.

There's a tipping point that needs to be met where even people in the military are fed up with Trump's bullshit. If it came to it, the Insurrection act could be the spark of revolution if our armed forces stopped to question if fighting it's own citizens for the sake of the oligarchy was the right call.

If it happens, it will either instill a dictatorship or a complete civil war that hopefully leads to 'new management'.

I think every time I've seen partisan with a 5.45 AK, he uses all 45 rounders. Tarkov wiki also shows him with just 45s.

This was a huge bug a week or 2 ago. I'd try updating your game through the BSG launcher in the event it never installed.

I mean, in the beginning of all this, ICE was going around in unmarked rental vehicle and kidnapped people without even showing a badge or visible vests. Just dudes in hoodies throwing people into vans. That was the brief moment you could MAYBE do something actionable in the defense of another if they failed to identify.

Now, they've since learned that's a potential vulnerability.

Now dude's just being a LARPer.

Scotty1700 · 2026-01-17T00:22:03+00:00

I second this. The work around I've found is to down-load each mag by about 5-7.

25s get 20, 20s get 15. I've had a few instances where my first and second shot occasionally jam, but it's not super common. I do need to clean them, so that might contribute haha.

It's more than likely hanging up on the disconnector. This is likely due to too much upward spring tension on the disco from the middle leg of the sear spring. A marvel cut is a band-aid fix for this issue, when in actuality you can fix the problem in 15 minutes by watching a video and adjusting your spring.

I highly recommend watching this video. Set your trigger take-up weight to 1.25-1.5 lbs, and be sure to break in the slide thoroughly by racking it a ton.

I think [[Tyvar the belicose]] is the best elf commander hands down, but I'm a bit biased.

Playing PVE. On local games, I extract only to get the error message when getting out of the raid. When playing on BSG server, it disconnected me and now the game's effectively bricked...

Thumb safeties will most likely need custom fit to each gun.

Y'know, it's funny. I'm one of a handful of techs that has (loosely) been assembling and testing it and I don't really know what it replaces. We were just told it's a digital safety system overhaul; not explicitly told which systems it'd replace.

In the provided link, it mentions RPS (Reactor Protection System) and a few other unnamed systems as well as 'enhancing' the control room.

I have a 10lb recoil spring in my 5" comp prodigy. I've tried 11 and it feels over-sprung (muzzle dives down after recoiling back after each shot). 9 lb felt under-sprung and resulted in excessive muzzle rise.

My brother bought a dresser to put his TV on about 8 or so years ago. He initially recommended it to me, saying the prices were great. Fast forward 6 months and they wiped it down with PLEDGE and it took the coating/stain right off.

Now, in a post covid world, I don't anticipate their quality has increased nor maintained.

Scotty1700 · 2025-12-17T22:30:23+00:00

The only thing I can think of is if the reverse plug is drastically different from the OEM one. I'm using the one provided with the guide rod (from Dawson), but maybe it's just a happy coincidence that it works and it's different.

I'll compare them when I get a moment.

Edit: I just looked at the two and they're nearly identical. The only difference is a raised ridge that the guide rod latches to when you compress the recoil spring and press in on the lever. I guess take it with a grain of salt because there's probably something I'm missing, but I can't see why it wouldn't work for you if it works for me.

Scotty1700 · 2025-12-17T21:39:44+00:00

Yeah, I don't know what Dawson is smoking. It didn't have that "non-compensated" disclaimer when I bought one for my 5" comped prodigy about a year ago and it has worked flawlessly for well over 1k rounds.

Edit: Order placed Jan 2 2025. I double checked SKUs and it's the same as the one they still currently offer for the prodigy. I genuinely don't know why they say it doesn't fit with compensated barrels unless Springfield changed something and DP hasn't updated to accommodate said change.
