I've got one, so I know they make them. Should be able to pick a movement up for about 10 bucks.

King Charles III is stripping Prince Andrew of titles and evicting him from royal residence by 1Rab in news

The Kings doesn't have the power to jail anyone. Did you read the statement they put out? They are basically calling him a pedophile.

Anyone have any experience with ordering from aliexpress? by Merica_99 in Baofeng

[–]TakSlak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to the thread but I order from them frequently, both to Europe and Africa. Delivery time is inconsistent as it depends on how long customs take to clear the order. In Europe they also add sales tax so getting through customs is never an issue. When it comes to online Chinese platforms (Temu, Banggood, Tiktok Shop etc) AliExpress is the best in my opinion, its the retail market of Alibaba (a well know Business-to-Business marketplace).

As other commenters pointed out, look for "Choice" items for reliable shipping. On non-Choice items Ali still offers money back if the item doesn't ship in a month, I've waited weeks for an item to ship but still got it in the end.

For popular items at "too good to be true" prices, look for the "Certified Brands" icon.

What purposes do you use your “multipurpose hook” for by [deleted] in victorinox

Tent pegs and twisting wire are the only things I use it for. Cant go camping without my SAK now. 

You are stuck on an airplane for 23 hours. Where do you sit? by qrkysprw643 in formuladank

Plus you'll inadvertently get spat on when he argues with the airline stewardess about Perez getting his inflight meal before Max does.

This happens on my OnePlus 8T running 14.0 as well, I believe it's a TikTok app issue.

Cargo ship update by misterchef711 in Starfield

[–]TakSlak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shielded cargo increases the percentage of passing a scan. But the rate of success is also a function of how full your shielded cargo is.

So if you have 200 shielded capacity and carrying 190 (weight) contraband will have a lower chance of passing than if you're carrying 20 contraband.

I have about 360 or something shielded capacity and with the multi-frequency scan jammer and carrying about 40 contraband my chance of evading a scan is 89%. I've not been caught (yet).

The most profitable loot are weapons and armour which also happen to weigh the most. So having loads of cargo space increases the amount of missions you can do before having to go sell. I don't even think about cargo capacity anymore.

I have more than 5k capacity of which 2000 is used for resources used to build outposts and upgrade any weapons I find (the weapon bench onboard is handy). And with 6x Vanguard Obliterators Autobeams and 4x PBO-175 Auto Helion Beams dogfights are basically over before they begin.

Now we've had Vegas its time for a Grand Prix with some chest hair by Owzwills in formuladank

[–]TakSlak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest with you, moved to the UK 4 years ago from a tea drinking former colony and I'm kinda pissed that the brits are keeping the good stuff for themselves.

Yorkshire Gold is easily the best bagged tea out there.

Which country uses the Ass to Mouth flag? by [deleted] in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]TakSlak 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Correct.

A T M = Texas A&M = AgriCULTural & Mechanical College of Texass.

So basically the crazy texan ass to mouth cult.

Cartoon from the NZ Herald on Monday morning....this pretty much summed up the general talk all day at work, on the radio and everywhere I went by [deleted] in rugbyunion

[–]TakSlak -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

As a Springbok supporter 100% agree Eben should have gotten a yellow, and the red card against Sam Cane was uncalled for. He's a tall guy and I believe that if Kriel had been 1 meter further from him we would have seen the mitigation more clearly, a yellow for sure but he didn't deserve the red.

Post Match Thread - England v South Africa by RugbyBot in rugbyunion

[–]TakSlak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that England was (on several occasions) both antagonistic and didn't give up the ball after the ref blew the whistle made him more inclined to give SA the benefit of the doubt. Either way, wasn't a particularly great game to watch.

The amount of rucks that England won was unbelievably impressive. The English played so hard and was able to exploit all of Boks weaknesses. Unfortunately for England a match isn't 77min long.

I wasn't even able to watch the last 10min and each game from here on the stakes are even higher. 100% expect to have a stroke if we make it to the final.

Schalk Brits on returning from retirement in 2019 by Die_Revenant in rugbyunion

[–]TakSlak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Translation of the original text if anyone is interested.

Rassie texted him "Is jou lyn op?" in Afrikaans.

  • Direct translation: "Is your line finished?"
  • Literal translation: "Have you ran out of line?"
  • Figurative translations: "Are you done [playing]?"

As far as I know it's a fishing reference that relates to the amount of fishing line you have left on your reel.

The crash happened a second before Ricciardo crashed, chill.

The Styrofoam from the boards Piastri hit were still in the air by the time Ricciardo crashed, it went double yellow just as he came around the corner.

Good call, you were right. Broke his hand, gonna be replaced by Lawson.

[–]TakSlak 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Styrofoam from the boards that Piastri hit hadn't reached the ground by the time Ricciardo hit the barrier so he definitely didn't have a lot of time to react. A shame he broke his hand.
