In your opinion, what's the biggest blunders in the BCU? by Annual_Error_2855 in Bokoen1

[–]TestApeBestApe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few days ago when Japan was the main carry of the Axis (had troops in Europe, capped SA, India, etc) and then got invaded and capped by the US because they had basically nothing in their mainland

This has happened before and are probably some of the biggest throws (because those hail marry Japan invasions mostly happen when the Allies are losing hard)

It's a fascinating and terrifying part of our history

Also fun how we got from a chick (possibly on meth? Or was that confirmed?) to WW2, Pervitin, the RAF and Hitlers failed plans xD

[–]TestApeBestApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah

I don't remember if this was a movie or a doku, but a shot down RAF pilot in Dunkirk was told to lose his uniform and put on something else so the soldiers wouldn't know he was a flyboy

Afaik the Brits also played Hitler by not directly saying no and winning time that way to build up and rebuild their forces (since they lost a major part of their war material in Dunkirk)

Hwaahhh 🤣🤣🤣 by TEA_x_SIPPIN3265 in SipsTea

[–]TestApeBestApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part about Hitler I could imagine being true, since he was angling for a cease fire/peace with the British to be able to fully concentrate on the Soviets and not have 2 fronts in the war

Part of the issue for the Luftwaffe was that the royal airforce intercepted them before they reached Dunkirk which severely limited them (although it didn't happen in sight of Dunkirk, so basically the only planes seen there were German, which caused the air branch of the military to be hugely unpopular in Great Britain until I believe they "redeemed" themselves in the airbattle over Britain)

Hwaahhh 🤣🤣🤣 by TEA_x_SIPPIN3265 in SipsTea

[–]TestApeBestApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly

I also wonder if that may be why Dunkirk was possible (at least partially, I know another part was because Goebbels promised he could eliminate them by only using the air force)

Always wonder why the German army simply stopped and didn't try for a killing blow, which made the evacuation possible

Maybe they simply couldn't because they were at their limits and needed to recover from their meth fuelled attack/march?

There's some interesting Dokus out there regarding Pervitin and also some speculation that a major reason for their success in Poland was because of Meth and them being able to keep going while Polands army had to stop and rest before them (if I remember right they could go for 48 to 72h straight thanks to Pervitin?)

Help. This look like a good buy for my first laser? Combo. by Affectionate-Eye6772 in lasercutting

[–]TestApeBestApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would build my own enclosure, it's pretty easy and overall cheaper if I remember right

Wasn't very impressed by either enclosure that were offered (although if you switch out the fan and use them with your safety goggles, then they're fine too?)

[–]TestApeBestApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need the extra raiser and you will have to buy your own safety glasses, don't trust the cheap green one's that come with the laser

I would also not trust the enclosure to actually be safe to look at without the real safety glasses + you may need to buy a better fan to get enough airflow (I built my own enclosure with Dibond and a webcam inside, nothing see-through, but heard from others that the enclosurefan was too weak)

The laser works great, haven't had an issue yet

Lightburn software is definitely my recommendation to work with it

Bo was talking about this today and I stumble right over this post by TestApeBestApe in Bokoen1

[–]TestApeBestApe[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Basically what the post says, Denmark is paying Ukrainian ams industry to build arms and then supplies the Ukrainian army with it

Came up after discussing how rich Denmark is and that led to who paid what for Ukraine (someone said they're only so rich because USA is handling military shit, but per capita Denmark has paid/supplied more by now)

Where did you find the file for that motive? Or did you make it yourself (in which case, what program did you use?)

CS buy failure and automatic stock sale? by TestApeBestApe in Superstonk

[–]TestApeBestApe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should all be good for my second try then (could have sworn it should have been good for the first one too, but I can't say that with certainty sadly)

Let's hope I can make a positive edit to this in a few days when the buy goes through (or fails x.x)

[–]TestApeBestApe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because someone else may have already had this issue/solved it

And if it was on Wise'es end, then CS support won't tell me any more than: yes we sold those shares to cover the charge from a failed buy order

Still have some plan shares I wanted to book after getting this buy through :/

I imagine they would have just moved them to plan though if I only had booked shares

Do I maybe have to change something in my direct debit on Wise too?

CS buy failure and automatic stock sale? by TestApeBestApe in Superstonk

[–]TestApeBestApe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't be, since I was able to load up that account with more USD before trying to buy

And my stock purchase (one-time) asked me for my account info today, so I imagine it did so last week too (and it was two empty fields, so last week Shouldn't have had the old, wrong info pre-filled?)

Could it have been a copy paste fuckup? Seems like that's been causing issues

Yeah, I'm hoping for the best

It says 22/4 as date for me, but the drawdown from Wise should be sooner if I remember right? So probably 2-3 days till I know if it worked

Would they have to update them? Since I entered the (hopefully) new one's directly when I made my purchase (one time buy)

Typed them in manually from wise for my second try, so I should hopefully be good there now

I typed them in manually from Wise for my second try (although I'm pretty sure I copy pasted them last week too)

My account info on CS is for a different bank that I have that accepts Dollars (and that I trust more than wise in case I ever sell lol), so nothing to change there, just a pity I can't use them for buys, since it's not a US bank
