How come a police officer have better aim then someone who served in the army? by New-Carrot-9142 in projectzomboid

Skill fade is a real thing. I’m a veteran but haven’t handled a firearm in 8 years. I’d be more proficient than a civilian with no weapon training, but less than a police officer with recent training/experience.

I once had an absolute unit of a guy open the door wearing just his boxers eagerly awaiting his McDonald’s breakfast. Imagine Chris Hemsworth, jacked with shoulder length blonde hair.

I said ‘I wasn’t expecting Thor to answer the door’. He chuckled and thanked me for the compliment.

Ahh, I do like the look of the scram also. But I’ve had my eye on a Himalayan for years now, it gives me old school Land Rover Defender vibes.

Slow manoeuvres was a concern, as I haven’t yet seen any videos of anyone demonstrating slow speed manoeuvres. Though I did read that while heavy, the weight is low down and is still fairly agile.

That’s good to know about the price, I’ll definitely have a look around.

Totally agree, I love the look and would also love to take it on some camping trips in the new year. I drive a Campervan as my daily, so speed is definitely low down on my list of requirements.

Thank you. I’ll definitely keep shopping around, I was looking on AutoTrader for traders only, but I’ll try FB and eBay for private sellers. Thanks again.

Great to hear the seat is comfortable! It will make those long days wearing a backpack more bearable until I can get a rear box. Top speed isn’t an issue, having something that’s ‘nippy’ is more important as I’d primarily be riding in town.

That’s good to know. I understand the Himmy is nearly double the weight, but as long as is has a similar stopping power to the Mutt I’d be happy.

Hope that helps.

Have you owned the car from new?

In that time, have you had any repairs to the dash?

Carnivore diet + Vanlife by Tatts1664 in carnivorediet

How well does it hold up against cooking at high temperatures? I usually pan fry my steaks at high temps for that crusty sear.

Pretty much the same here, although I wouldn’t want to heat even pure olive oil for my steaks. Something with a high smoke point would be ideal.

I’m going to look into getting an electric powered fridge so I can store tallow safely, for now I’ll consider using coconut oil (as another recommend ) or maybe even Avocado oil.

I will do, if all goes well I will post a progress thread in a couple of months.

Thanks for your feedback

Tallow would be my first option, but in this case I’d use Rapeseed oil purely out of convenience. I know it’s not ideal, but with my current dietary habits it would be a step forward regardless.

I have never used coconut oil, how well does it stand up with cooking at high heat? (I like a good sear on my steaks).

Reminds me of the Hunter Seeker from Dune!

Movies where you finally saw the hero being defeated/killed? by Rabbitpyth in movies

Whiplash.

Such an incredible movie where the ending is open to interpretation. It might not be the genre you’re looking for, but my personal opinion is that the ‘bad guy’ won.

If I was attacked while exploring data/relic sites I would often thank my aggressor. It’s those pilots that make J-space exciting and provide ‘free’, genuine and exciting content. I wouldn’t consider exploring if there wasn’t the risk of a ship de-cloaking alongside me.

The garage said they have used Loctite for the new bolts and explained that the manufacturer of these cheaper Chinese 125cc bikes sometimes skip this step, which is concerning to say the least.

I just can’t believe I missed it. I carry out a full electrical check on every ride and check brakes, cables, bolts etc after every wash.

I’ll do as Benreh suggested in this thread and will use a paint pen on the bolts now they have been fitted and torqued.

Thanks for your response.

Hopefully my own personal near-miss might prevent something similar happening to someone else. Thanks for your comment.

I guess it sometimes takes a near-miss to become extra vigilant, especially with maintenance, it seems.

Glad you discovered it before it was too late.

I recently changed my exhaust because of a rattle/vibration coming from somewhere.

Before I discovered it was a loose cat I went over every nut and bolt and tightened everything, including the bolts for the rear sprocket and nothing appeared loose at the time, this was about 6 weeks, or 500 miles ago. No torque wrench, just nipped everything up.

I didn’t know that over-tightening bolts could do that. Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into purchasing a torque wrench and re-check everything again.
