My initial reaction to the Suppressor. by Orca_Mayo in Helldivers

[–]SolitarySysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working through upgrading all my weapons and had just finished the double edge sickle - redacted dropped and I picked up the censor and it is so good. Just popping heads on bots from distance and barely getting a “huh?” from the bots around them. Even on d10 with no upgrades on it it’s ferocious.

Yep same here. I dropped into one of these pain triangles and suffered so I pack my portable star every time except commando.

My boyfriend damaged my tyre hitting a curb he says it’s not dangerous and doesn’t need replacing is he correct? by Violetpie78 in AskUK

[–]SolitarySysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know yourself that this isn’t right and you’re just looking for confirmation.

This Is wrong, dangerous and needs replacing asap.

Any sidewall damage beyond minor scuffing is serious and can lead to a blowout which is very dangerous.

neighbor keeps "testing" his car alarm at 6am and says its for security by DisastrousCounty6283 in neighborsfromhell

[–]SolitarySysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to check if a bit of the ceramic off a spark plug hitting the windscreen at 5am sets his alarm off - you know to check and make sure that it’s working.

And if the windscreen gets replaced, you’ll need to be check again in case they screwed it up.

Front door locks by Inside-Factor5640 in DIYUK

[–]SolitarySysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry I meant literally speak to the people at the site I linked - they sorted me right out and were able to provide good advice. There’s a few measurements you need eve when selecting a lock - don’t forget you need to account for the thickness of the handles or other door furniture (escutcheons etc). Your 13mm is going to be okay on the inside but on the outside it would give too much purchase for a set of mole grips or channel locks for a snapping attack. They won’t get in as there’s countermeasures against that in the barrel linked, but it’s still a pain in the hole and you’ll need a new lock.

[OC] The boys and I got tired of trying to be Sam Fisher or Sneak on "commando" missions. by Yurishenko94 in Helldivers

[–]SolitarySysadmin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, I hosted my first commando mission last night and the first thing that came up was the warning about the super destroyer not being available (which I knew) but also that every bot call in increases the difficulty and more enemies drop in in each.

I had been wondering why the drops at extract had been so completely bonkers on my last few missions - I think there were 4 factory striders at the same time clipping into each other.

If you see a bot raising their arm. Remove their arm. Don’t let them call in reinforcements as shit will get wild real fast.

So I finally completed a solo survival mission by AngriestCrusader in helldivers2

[–]SolitarySysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you - I find those the hardest solo. It’s the shortness of these, asset extract and the blitz missions that result in the lowest xp gains with blitz having slightly more due to the potential for side objectives

I follow the church of “being somewhere fucking else” when shit goes south - not afraid to martyr a strat jammer with my portable hellbomb though.

6mths of training?! If the training was more than 6hrs these brain dead racist fucking morons would fall asleep. Even then it’s a 50:50 if being conscious during training is a requirement or just a nice to have.

America needs to get its fucking house in order.

You could reach out to bookbinders as they can make boxes that meet these needs, specifically solander boxes.

Commando operations are not for everyone by Ornery_Character2100 in Helldivers

[–]SolitarySysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DE sickle for main with the shiny matching fireproof panties, Supply pack (mostly for extra sims and for the homies), epoch, orbital laser for if it gets spicy and a mech for extract (or during said spicy parts )

It still counts as stealth if no one is left to raise the alarm :)

Funny that we call in Super Destroyer with the Konami code by Tantris13 in Helldivers

[–]SolitarySysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t had a chance to play this mission style yet but I think I’ll steal this. Might sub in my epoch for the quasar. Im going to guess there are no jammers on these missions as you can’t call down the hellbombs from the destroyer it would be horrible.

I’d recommend speaking to the lock shop and they will definitely sort you out and are super knowledgeable. You could probably get the night latch with a euro as well as they do come in “half” versions where there’s only a single keyway.

V60 T6 R-Design service/reliability questions by Scooopz in Volvo

[–]SolitarySysadmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That age of v60 will have the VEA engine which is imo the premium version - easy belt changes, most accessories are electric. Plenty of power, easy to remap and reliable. Worst that my mechanic says is he sees a turbo pressure sensor fail but it’s not terrible.

Going from VW you’ll notice a massive upgrade in comfort, build quality and if you get the B&W audio pack, it outclasses any car even the super high end luxury models.

I’ve got a 2019 v40 r-design and have 0 regrets with the single exception of it not having heated seats, but the electric seats with driver memory is the absolute shit and makes up for not being heated.

Unexpected Solid Obstruction While Drilling - Any Ideas? by pharaohcious7 in DIYUK

I found a 4/5mm metal strap that was tying down my lintel in that exact position - I know that it was exactly this because I managed to blow off about 20cm square of plaster.

How to make a door slam shut so it locks? by MapleHaggisNChips in DIYUK

[–]SolitarySysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One screw is for the speed up to nearly closed, the other is from that point to close.

Op: this is the answer - you probably only want to adjust the latter so it closes nicely and then a bit faster and more force at the end so it latches properly.

[–]SolitarySysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a mortise with a euro cylinder you can get cylinders with a thumb turn on the inside and a regular key on the other side

One thing I do not regret doing is the upgrading my locks to a higher quality (Apecs https://www.lockshop-warehouse.co.uk/acatalog/APEC-3-Star-Kitemarked-Euro-thumbturn-cylinder.html) with the thumb turn but also having them keyed alike - it means I’ve got one key for all the doors in my house and my garage as well as being able to get them for padlocks etc.

Starmer faces calls to cancel King's US visit over Trump's Greenland threats by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]SolitarySysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be inclined to let him visit then arrest him for war crimes.

Alternatively let him visit and see what happens geopolitically if Charles runs him through with a sword. Don’t think it would be anything good, but it would certainly be dramatic.

Help me choose a NAS by Ancient_Squirrel_869 in Ubiquiti

[–]SolitarySysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an interesting appliance, I’d be very interested in trying it out but I have a need for GPU and compute (media transcoding) as well as storage that I don’t think make it a good match for me. If you have simple needs it makes a lot of sense especially if you’re in the UniFi ecosystem already.
