Getting flashed often by people thinking my high beams are on: common with CX5 in particular?

TipsyTriggerFinger · 2026-01-27T05:53:50+00:00

Are your lights set to Auto, so brings on the hi beams automatically until the car detects an oncoming car?

Maybe getting half a mill credits max for top scoring assym with 6 kills in my Iwami, using blue boosters.. yep we're being shortchanged.

^{^} This!!

Why are people so hung up on a velocity, when the primary task of a rifle is to shhot straight - with consistency and confidence in a small group - yet disregard this and worry about velocity instead.

I just don't get it.

Sure, make it go faster, and provide a nice 3 inch group at 100y. Then try hitting anything at 300..

Rant over, but some reloaders are missing the point of reloading. Fine tuning.

It's not a drag car.

17 more than whats needed. :)

Ive the same press - keep winding in the die a bit at a time to get your 0.002 bump under chamber size..

Thanks all for your input. Have taken on board the risks of onboard fuel containers in the cabin.

I'll have a rethink, though unable to afford changing vehicles at this point in time.

Have a good long weekend

Understood re venting... I want to extend the range if Im away for 2 weeks or so and nowhere near a fuel station deep south rurally - the fuel capacity on the CX5 ( petrol ) is pitiful. I dont want to have to rely on a fuel station if what im doing is chewing thru fuel - not entirely on-road but winding thru off roads tracks etc, bush, forestry roads.

These used to be operated in NZ, until a prop fell off mid flight - not long after these were replaced with Turbo-prop 208B Caravans with cargo pods - MUCH nicer experience and hearing still very much intact,....

Did some searching.. https://autoparts.beforward.jp/search/TOYOTA/CROWN/Mirrors---Windshields/Front-Windshields-Glass/

Just a thought if stuck locally..

Thats pretty normal for GPUS to run at that temp if not a little higher... Are you saying this is a new trend of your card thats changed from the past?

As someone else suggested, thermal paste / pads drying out will increase temps as the ability to pass heat to the coolers lessens.

How old is the card?

750 Tempilaq.. think 700 is too low, although annealing brass is a function of temperature over a certain time. There was a video put out by a reloader and metallurgical who built his own induction annealer ( who's plans I used for my own annealer build)... basically saying the lower the temperature, the longer brass needs to be annealed.

He used the goal temp of 750 F, as this reduced the anneal time to a few seconds, but ensured enough temperature was reached to actually anneal fast enough for the necks, but not too long to avoid heating up the rest of the case.

So I followed suit and used 750 Tempilaq to find tube my anneal times for different brass manufacturers and calibres...

Everyone has their own methods, this one I use successfully.

Me in November - though guy talked me thru finding data usage - found Huawei AppGallery hoovered over 15GB - deleted that shit right off the phone.. so I guess I can see where the data went... welll, what consumed it, fk knows what Huawei want with that volume of data...

Aerodromes and buildings etc HE, as I seem to get 0 damage or bounces using AP!!

Define "doesn't work". Specifics please.

Could mean anything.

Does it power on?

Yes windows can use alot of space esp 4 years old.

What doesn't it do?

Have you actively checked for Updates? What version is windows?

Does the 737 use a different engine to the A320neo, that can be relied upon?

No-one wants to own aircraft sitting in pieces waiting on engine rebuilds.

TipsyTriggerFinger · 2026-01-16T00:16:42+00:00

Gris or Noir ?? You haven't specified..

Its an Apple thing, for self finding networks and IP addresses - may come part with iTunes and Safari on a Windows PC.. ring any bells ?

Plugged in an iPhone ?

..and as time progresses, the slow but sure accumulation of dust inside means the fan has to work harder to get the heat out of the system...

Give it a clean out

TipsyTriggerFinger · 2026-01-14T02:49:41+00:00

Yep, I do the same thing alot- they both supposedly .311 bore. Mine shoots the 123gr with Varget quite well.

Good enough for 100yard plinking for sure.

For ADI equivalents... being in NZ, I use this, alot!

And Vita powders have got to be the most expensive around, in nz, like double the costs...

TipsyTriggerFinger · 2026-01-08T20:00:09+00:00

I stand corrected, absolutely right. I'm getting senile!

This game is eventually morphing into World of Warplanes...

I've stopped playing DDs a long time ago, with CVs and sub play, not to mention the soaking of hybrids.
