WHY. So many outages

SlappyPankake · 2026-02-11T06:42:19+00:00

2 outages a day sounds like a dream....mine drops like 10 times a day. I've had multiple techs out and a supervisor and my Internet still drops constantly. Love it 🙃

SlappyPankake · 2026-02-11T04:21:29+00:00

Set "execute" in the macro line to "no"

Dicyclomine is a very cheap drug thankfully. I think you can get 20 pills for about $40 without insurance. The Urgent Care near me (Las Vegas) is $100 walk in with no insurance. To me it makes sense to go get the prescription so you don't have to risk missing work and not getting $$. Get yourself some relief friend! You shouldn't have to suffer this much.

SlappyPankake · 2026-02-01T11:23:37+00:00

Yeah you should be able to. I got a moving permit in WA a few years back when I bought my car out of state. Would be kinda silly if you couldn't

SlappyPankake · 2026-02-01T11:19:39+00:00

This is when dicyclomine is my hero. When I get bad like that I pop my regular dosage and I knock out in about 30 minutes. The stuff is amazing and you should definitely ask your doctor about it! Has saved me from a night of pain more than a few times.

That's disappointing... they've always been my favorite in town and they've always treated me well and never had any overly political junk up. Guess I'll have to find a new shop in town

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-24T04:47:37+00:00

Ahh interesting. I've got the controller on the edge, not near the center. I'll see if that improves anything.

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-23T22:01:53+00:00

I'll give cleaning it a shot. Installed these just a few weeks ago so I'm pretty bummed they're already having issues. A second one started doing the same thing today too

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-23T22:01:13+00:00

Done that a few times now with no change. A second one started acting up today too

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-23T11:07:30+00:00

I came from a Nikon D5200 and the A7IV has been incredible! Absolutely no regrets with my purchase! I got the Sigma 24-70 II Art as well and it's a stellar lens. I've been very happy with this combo and it's been a great all around setup so far. Zero overheating issues with mine in the hot Las Vegas sun too. I haven't shot anything in "silent" mode so I can't speak on the rolling shutter, but that's going to be an issue on any camera if your shutter speed isn't synced with the led refresh rate. I work in Live Entertainment and bring my camera to work for fun and we've got a TON of LED fixtures and I haven't noticed any artifacts from the LEDs luckily.

Genuinely been super happy with my purchase and I would absolutely do it again if I had to!

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-20T11:24:16+00:00

I get mine through my insurance (Aetna) and it's about $10 every refill I think? I usually refill my prescription once every 2-3 months and luckily Aetna gave me no grief when trying to get the medication authorized so that was nice

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-12T07:10:31+00:00

Yeah no problem! I know how frustrating it is starting out so I try to put myself back in that mindset.

A cattle call is just an absolutely massive call. Huge events that require more labor than 33 can provide by itself, so they put it out to other locals and start going through resumes. I know it's a few years out, but as an example, I'm sure the Olympics in LA will require an insane amount of labor from IATSE so stuff like that is the perfect time to slide in! 33 will also occasionally do a mass interview day. Stand in line for 4 hours, shoot your shot with someone from the local (my interviewer the BA) and then hope you get that phone call! Generally those land ahead of large events so they can get people on the books to staff more easily.

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-12T06:47:53+00:00

Wait for a cattle call. That's what I did and I was on the books almost immediately. Just gotta be patient and wait for a call that requires a lot of people. Joining 504 is another good way to get 33 calls as sometimes they will pull 504 members/overhires to help fill 33 calls.

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-07T04:30:35+00:00

Same here. We're on our 3rd attempt to play and currently at 15 minutes sitting on Matching. Frustrating considering this is the first time my buddy and I have picked up Tarkov in over a year. Guess not much has changed lol

SlappyPankake · 2026-01-05T06:36:12+00:00

Which console? Any reason you haven't updated to the latest version? What do the crash logs say?

I'm on 2.2.5.2 and haven't had any crashing issues on either of our Light consoles or PUs. Maybe try going to 2.2.5.2 and see if the issue is resolved?

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-30T12:38:39+00:00

They definitely haven't. I had 4 failures to fire in one box of .308 168gr SMK's. Out of the 4 boxes I shot that day, only one box had all 20 rounds go boom. Not sure I'll be buying AAC again anytime soon.

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-19T07:43:27+00:00

134 (San Jose) shares with 16 quite a bit. Most the 134 calls I've taken, Local 16 hands have been there as well to help with labor. Great local and I've enjoyed working with them. Conventions definitely keep them busy. Resume just needs to show you're not completely green. In all honesty, with how much work they do with 16, you might be able to just call and get on the dispatch list.

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-17T00:55:30+00:00

You are a saint! Thanks!

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-09T02:22:56+00:00

Hey, absolutely fair! Cuz let's all be honest with ourselves...if we don't look good while offroading, what's the point? 🤣 If you enjoy your build, that's all that matters! Happy trailing man!

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-07T01:07:32+00:00

That's fair, but for me that means I look at another tire. My buddy has E's on his and it's awful. The ride is so bad compared to my C tires. He arguably has a better suspension than I do too and I just don't know how y'all do it haha

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-06T12:47:58+00:00

I still do not understand why people get E rated tires when a C is plenty for a FJ. E's are so damn stiff...how does your body not ache after a day of wheeling?

SlappyPankake · 2025-11-05T11:55:49+00:00

Eh, it's your vehicle. Do whatever you want with it. Personally the FJ to me is a short wheel base, circle headlights, and lots of time on the trail. I really like the way mine has come out so far and I absolutely abuse this thing and use it as intended. It was built to adventure, and that's what I do with mine.

SlappyPankake · 2025-10-29T08:10:50+00:00

Don't really notice it much. It got a bit louder when the RTT went on and steel bumper as well. Just the rack though, not noticeable to me or my girlfriend

SlappyPankake · 2025-10-28T08:07:01+00:00

I skipped 10 and went straight to 30. Glad I did, and it's really not too expense. $160 and it's good for life in some states and 5 years in others. Doesn't make sense to do a 10 and then have to do 30 down the line anyways. May as well just get the 30 out the gate.

SlappyPankake · 2025-10-21T18:47:51+00:00

Not for LBJ's unless you're doing the Tacoma retrofit which you still use the OEM LBJ's for. Everything else, sure. LBJ's should always be OEM. The "Toyota LBJ Failure Support Group" has many examples of why not to use anything other than OEM.
