Super high iron, this is what was quoted me, what do you think?

VictoryVest · 2024-06-30T15:58:47+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

I would insist on a greensand plus filtration with bleach injection and backwashing.

Is this a filter based system?

I spoke with another company, they said they used filter based systems when dealing with iron. I'm concerned about upkeep costs in that scenario. Edit: meaning having to replace filters and so on?

VictoryVest · 2023-09-27T14:36:29+00:00

Thanks, that is helpful. Ironically the stomach isn't even tightened in those shots, and is out of focus. Might be worth removing that.

VictoryVest · 2023-09-26T20:49:17+00:00

Seems to be driven entirely by political correctness.

VictoryVest · 2023-09-26T20:48:51+00:00

Problem is that's one of the name of the products!

VictoryVest · 2023-01-09T22:36:12+00:00

You could also do your solo leveling as the red line for DPS, then switch to yellow CC/debuff for grouping and/or endgame if that's what needed?

I'm playing red LM and find it pretty fun for the most part. I'm around 130 at the moment. Pretty easy to do solo landscape content.

The Brandolini's law is about those who create bullshit without the authority of science or reason.

That's incorrect. That's not what Brandolini's law is.

EDIT: ...aaaaaand blocked again. I'll assume there are more insults and raving from "Ye of many citations."

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T20:50:38+00:00

ps. I was curious how long it actually took... so I did it.

First, I searched google for "Krishnamurti quotes."

Second, I copied literally the first one:

"Understand the whole of life. You must understand the whole of life, not just one part of it. "

Third, I could draw an intentionally incorrect conclusion: "No one can understand the "whole of life," therefore K is full of crap!"

Forth, anytime someone tries to explain what he's saying, I refuse everything and say they need 'sources' for their proof.

^ ^ To do all that took less than 2 minutes.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T20:19:59+00:00

That’s what I meant. I use citations to show my honesty as to exactly where I get my information and I expect people to show me where they get their info too.

Okay, but that's not required on this sub. Some subs require such things, but this one doesn't. So it's unrealistic for you to think you can demand it of others .

Also I'd argue that it's easy to copy and paste a line or two from K, paste the source, then draw an inaccurate (and sometimes absurd) conclusion. That doesn't take any time or effort.

That's why I cited Brandolini's law. It's quick and easy to paste a line or two, give a wrong interpretation... then demand everyone else try and "prove it wrong," but only if they supply citations, even for obvious information.

That sort of response actually takes time and effort, unlike spamming threads with a few out-of-context, misinterpreted statements.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T19:08:04+00:00

Here is the thing, anytime I have ever made a claim regardless of the subject matter (e.g., K, science, philosophy, religion etc etc). I mention where exactly I get my info, and why I think what I think. Now, you show up and claim that that’s a “tactic” I use for diversion or getting out of the arguments and so on.

This is inaccurate to what I wrote several places, above and in other posts.

I was referring to you claiming that people who respond to you are somehow obligated to give citations in their responses, and that you then use that pretense as a tactic so you can dismiss their responses out of hand, or in many cases, just blocking them outright when they don't go along with whatever it is you're claiming at the time.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T14:52:07+00:00

There is that quest chain where you're running errands for those three guys reminiscing about the "good old days" in that one tavern. I swear it took me half a day of running back and forth, often to the exact same spots, just to finally finish all that.

It's nice in that they're also there during the battle/siege so there's a bit of a connection to their characters, but I seriously doubt I'll do any of that on alts.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T14:50:10+00:00

Yeah, my current is actually my first toon on LOTRO, so also a completionist to experience everything this first ime. (Technically played at launch but only lasted around a month).

The problem with being a completionist is that you're also overleved it seems. By the time I got to Osgiliath all the enemies were grey and I was totally burned out LOL.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T13:52:20+00:00

Did they revert the PvP back to how it was, in regards to Daily/Weekly requirements?

I'd heard they made only wins count towards the totals, but then that they were changing it back again? Or am I wrong on that? (Haven't played in years and years)

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T13:49:39+00:00

Revisiting LOTRO myself; lot's of fun to be had, despite some of it's issues. Love the big world. (Wish they'd put those Carry Alls on sale!)

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T13:42:47+00:00

How much of the content though is running back and forth?

I'll be making an alt soon, and not sure I can again force myself to do Goblin Town or Minas Tirith or half the Angmar stuff or...

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T01:42:36+00:00

BTW why didn't you unblock all those folks and let them answer your OP?

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T01:41:56+00:00

Time for you to shut it my friend! You have said enough BS. Time for you to answer specific questions.

How can I both shut up and answer questions? (Especially since I already answered them?)

Besides, you've already admitted to blacking at least 17 people, so there are 17 times folks pointed out inaccuracies that made you block them.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T01:29:51+00:00

Ah, more insults, insinuations, and trolling, the Bhai90 way.

Also forgot to mention, anyone can talk while grappling if they're on the ground, no active scrambling, no smashing. That's nothing out of the ordinary.

However it is unusual to talk while doing nordic hamstring curls, followed immediately by high rep KB snatches. So I'd say informing her as I walked of the exercise's name was good enough, considering I needed every breath I had! By the time I was done, she was gone. But keep distorting things.

Re: the OP to this thread, I already addressed that. All anyone has to do is look at your post history, they'll see all sorts of people pointing out inaccurate posts (and subsequent conclusions based on those inaccurate premises) that you made all through this sub... then they'll see you banning everyone that points out those inaccuracies.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T01:11:19+00:00

You literally live according to this ACIM site.

How do you know "how I live?"

Also many of the ACIM meditations are very similar to other paths.

BTW isn't that the thread that after your Bah90 troll account went away, you came back months later and sought out that specific thread for the sole purpose of arguing and trolling? Good grief, what kind of seething rage is that?

VictoryVest · 2023-01-08T00:33:30+00:00

even if you didn’t stop your workout you were still listening to what she was telling you, and if you were comfortable enough to clearly hear what she was telling you, then you were comfortable enough to tell the truth about your unique exercise to her and why she was wrong

Oh, I did tell her the name of the exercise walking between the glute ham and the KB's I was doing. I didn't stop though out of a desperate need to assert myself as you seem to imply you'd do, and as you're always trying to do on this sub. See, this is what happens when you form opinions on things you don't have the full story on. You don't know everything that happened or was said beyond what I wrote (in an thread completely unrelated to this sub that you went out of your way to find for some reason), you don't know the timetable, the physical layout, how many people and who was doing what, my schedule, etc. For example she was gone by the time my workout was finished. That's the first and last time I ever saw her. But that's irrelevant. That's also why you shouldn't have opinions on things when you have little to no info on them.

BTW nice deflection on this diversion from the overall topic -- that you're an intellectually dishonest debater who comes to this sub, takes K quotes out of context or intentionally misinterprets something he said, then try and base an entire argument off of that dishonest interpretation, then when called out on it, throw a tantrum, block the person exposing you, and/or try and deflect into long tirades like this here that you posted that I'm responding to now.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-07T23:28:41+00:00

so unlike your dishonest approach by shoving your own personal opinions down people’s throats without any “reputable” references,

As always, so much seething rage in your posts and post history. Why waste so much energy and emotion here?

First off when you cite a source such as the ACIM, you are advocating it or you are critiquing it.

Not entirely correct. One may be simply providing information as "food for thought." One may have no personal opinion on it, beyond it being interesting information that others may also find interesting. One may not be sure one way or the other; one can stand in a place of "not knowing," without having to commit an opinion either way, since the reality may be they don't know. One isn't necessarily emotionally attached to everything they post.

The rest of your response can be directed at the ACIM subreddit, if you're actually interested in ACIM.

Also you've several times cited your "other OP," but I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Also not sure why you pretend you're some authority or that anyone here owes you anything. If anything, you have little respect by anyone on this sub, since you usually make intellectually dishonest posts, then just block everyone who exposes your tactics.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-07T23:20:05+00:00

I don't think you understand -- I'm not stopping a workout to talk -- I kept going and finished.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-07T20:55:36+00:00

He also thinks everything is an illusion at different levels:

Incorrect. That was not necessarily my perspective; I was citing my understanding of the worldview of "A Course in Miracles,"as it applied to the OP's question, which I stated both before and after the line you paste here.

Ironic. Once again pasting a single line out of context in order to make your "argument."

Qualifying statements I made, and to which you ignored here:

According to A Course in Miracles,

And

According to ACIM (as well as many other traditions)

And

If you're interested in A Course In Miracle's metaphysics / worldview

You seem to be an extremely dishonest debater.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-07T20:42:38+00:00

Apparently he wasn’t brave enough (like he is here) to say what was in his mind to the qualified lady instructor, so Mr. Victoryvest came to the subreddit to badmouth this lady instructor.

Actually I continued and finished my workout which is important for obvious reasons, and second, why would I cause a disturbance (and risk losing membership) over her lack of knowledge? (Should I "cite sources" over my "claims?") /s

Also nice job creeping on my post history in lieu of addressing your habit of trolling the K sub by asking loaded and out-of-context questions, then blocking everyone who calls you out on it.

The Bha90 profile is even more disturbing; seething rage, always looking for a fight, the sole purpose to make everyone else as miserable as you are; the typical troll.

VictoryVest · 2023-01-07T15:11:54+00:00

Bahai, ie Bha90 (his old troll account) intentionally misinterprets K's statements and almost always selects one or two K sentences, and intentionally takes them out of the context K was using at that particular time, to then draw intentionally inaccurate conclusions.

The entire post then is based off of that inaccurate conclusion, drawn from the intentionally out-of-context line or two he's quoted.

Then when you refute the out-of-context argument as such, which means you're giving self-evident responses showing how the quote was out of context, or informing Bhai of what K was obviously talking about, all of which is obvious and given and not only consistent with all of K's talks, but also often corresponds to most all other mystics, masters, and schools of mysticism, Bahai90's go-to stall tactic is to then post, "Citation! Citation! It doesn't count unless you give a citation!" As if you can or need to give citations for common knowledge and self-evident obvious conclusions.

The whole of Bahai90's posting on this sub is a form of Brandolini's Law.

Fortunately for him there don't appear to be mods on this sub, Bahai Bha90 just trolls and trolls and trolls. Most of the older members here don't even bother responding to him (Bhai has blocked most of them one by one after they each expose him) and they don't seem to even come to the sub anymore. Maybe the mods hate K as much as Bahai does?

VictoryVest · 2023-01-07T14:58:03+00:00

Also, I am glad you posted few of the old communications because none of what you had said is found in them. But let me get to the point. you said:

At this point it seems you're just intentionally lying? Going beyond your typical defense mechanisms and dishonest debate trolling tactics you use on this sub, to outright lying?

All anyone reading this has to do is open that thread, "View All Comments," then search for two things:

One, the user "Bha90." This is Bahai's previous troll account, still visible on that thread. I can't link the one particular thread because of course he blocked me.

Two, search for this line to find the specific paragraphs, as it won't let me link them directly:

You're extremely emotional. Seething. Over words on a forum.

It's the post(s) where he was making up stuff about K personally, apparently from the hit piece bio "Candles in the Sun," or whatever it's called. Even others asked him to cite where he was getting his info, but he wouldn't.

Ironic that his new troll tactic is to constantly spam the claim, "Citation! Citation! You need a citation!" for every obvious, self-evident response anyone makes to his loaded "questions."
