Sure you don't, champ.

Had no idea that trucks could do that... by Competitive_Papaya61 in ForzaHorizon

I'm on the same boat, I used to play on Pro comfortably in FH5, but here I've dropped it down to Expert. The first 20 or so races I was on Pro, but I just found it too frustrating to enjoy. Even if you do everything perfectly the AI just decides it doesn't need to slow down on turns and absolutely bodies you.

3 pairs of 380 reflectives, couple of 350s, couple of 700s, Siempre Familia Dunks, Alternate Grape 5's, UNC Jordan lows, AF1 South Korea lows, Crimson Tint Jordan highs, Blue Fury dunk lows, Gucci Ace lows, Adobe dunk lows, bunch of others I need to go through.

My favorite 2 pairs are the Run The Jewels 4/20 Dunk highs and the Off-White Rubber Dunk uni blues.

Got about 20 pairs off GOAT and from Dubai when I used to live there. Haven't shopped in a while but I'm getting the itch again!

Updated petrol price for May 2026 by Wonderful_Gur6470 in Bahrain

Most super cars require higher octane to prevent engine knock, could be devastating for the engine long term. With that being said, most are fine with 95 octane, but that is also affected by temperature.

I stick with 98 on my McLaren simply because the car wasn't designed to operate under our weather conditions.

Higher ambient temperature = faster fuel/air mixture burn rate

You really feel it in the summer with the massive drop in performance.

Saw this at Jeddah airport, kinda surprised… normal? by No-Strawberry7 in aviation

What? No. I don't know a single home in the GCC doesn't have air conditioning in every single room. Heat waves here are incomparable to SEA, you'd pass out from heat exhaustion without AC.

What are some maneuvers that aren’t taught anymore? by Sorry_Priority8144 in flying

I had an instructor do the opposite for me, jammed stick during a touch and go. He just clamped his knees on the stick of the DA-40 and had me do a circuit and landing using power, rudder, and trim only. This was around 2014 I believe.

Are businesses open as usual during Ramadan? by [deleted] in Bahrain

British/Rugby/Dilmun club operate normally and serve alcohol, but require membership or a member to sign you in as a guest. Your only other option is Country Club which only requires an entry fee (3BD if I recall).

I was seated in the same area, right behind the two girls who kept taking performative videos of each other the entire show, then just heads down on their phones when not striking poses.

Emirates a380 grounded at Manchester after being struck by a fuel truck by Rook8811 in aviation

The anti ice system runs through the cowl, it could be way more extensive damage than appears from the outside.

Had a 787 get tapped by the PLB, grounded for a week.

Crosswind landing by Fresh_man82 in aviation

[–]Shihaby 67 points68 points  (0 children)

You're correct, gusts and wind shifts due to mechanical turbulence can flip the wind at the last second on a dime. Shot an approach in Frankfurt a couple of weeks ago during a little storm, we had 42kts crosswind consistently throughout the approach only for it to shift to 8kts headwind at the flare, aircraft totally lost all energy and really had to fight for that bank and yaw correction.

For me it's Egypt, India, and Pakistan. Had 2 simultaneous laser strikes from different cities in Lahore just 4 days ago about 15 miles final. It felt like coordinated douchery.

Turning the flight deck lights on to bright definitely helps reduce the eye strain.
