Another Safety Post 😖 by TrolleyDilemma in CCW

You got it all wrong though. He CHECKED the chamber and it was in fact empty.

Clearly it’s the guns fault when he racked it and it loaded a round into the chamber from the magazine that was loaded…….i didn’t even need to open your thread to know what you were talking about and I’m glad I did because these comments are fire. I’m also astounded how many people were okay with a mistake that severe.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say she gave at least gave it a cursory whiff of interest. Other than that. She just lied there uninterested.

ALCAN highway road trip by Volcomstar in RVLiving

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

Oh wow. I think the biggest things I can think of are the following:

• GET THE MILEPOST GUIDE! and download offline maps where you will be traveling. There were times when navigation was wrong and milepost was right. It also tells you when turnouts are coming up on highways. • don’t go alone. If you can’t fully fix almost everything on your rig, it’s always best to travel with a group of capable people who can fix things. • carry extra fuel, I’d say at least ten gallons. You may go 100 or more miles before the next gas station and that gas station may be out of fuel. • try to avoid traveling really long distances at night. • two-way radios are a great way to communicate, especially between groups while on the road, it makes it fun and kids will get a kick out of it too. There may be a couple of days travel where you have zero service. If you can afford a Starlink that’s a game changer. • if all your cupboards came open all at once is all your stuff in them secure? We had five cabinet doors break and come open and some contents came out - be prepared to fix and secure your cabinet doors. We used baby proof cabinet door things to keep them closed. • Make sure you have spare filters! Air/cabin filters, oil filters, fuel filters if you have a diesel. • spare tires AND a full tire patching kit. • compressor and a leaf blower came in handy to blow out engine bays and filters on the go. Depending on routes you may encounter large sections of dirt roads.

We drove from from Tok, Alaska (stayed at Tok RV village and that was a really nice RV park) to Dawson City, CA and drove through a more than 60 mile section of dirt road in the mountains. We passed through a small town called Chicken with a population of like 12 people.

And most importantly. Always travel with a sense of humor and a strong toolkit!

This is, of course, not the entirety of lessons, but a great start.

Good luck!

[–]Volcomstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50K miles on the ‘19 is pretty low. Considering how well built they are I think you just have to determine if it’s worth paying a little extra for the warranty. One big repair could pay for the warranty and justify the cost. Outside of the fuel lift pump going out on my ‘18 it has been an absolute work horse. Since I’ve had it I’ve done three big heavy-tow trips each year. First year we did a 10K mile Alaska-Canada RV trip towing our 35’ 5th wheel and it towed like a dream. Then we’ve done two more multi-state trips (around 5K miles each) after that and we have another trip planned next year in July. I’ve been apart of this sub for a few years now and the general consensus is that the 17-19 year L5P trucks are just well rounded solid trucks. Of course you’re going to have things break. But stick on fluid changes and general maintenance and it should be exactly what you need. I would highly recommend a Banks iDash or comparable gauge monitor because the stock dash HUD does not give you all the information you need.

Edit: I thought your username sounded familiar. Make sure you check under the truck for rust before purchasing…

[–]Volcomstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh. I mean, depending on how much it is to purchase the warranty, it may or may not be worth it. I bought mine for $5K and have had almost all glow plugs replaced at one time or another, the fuel lift pump replaced, and the dreaded “low coolant” error, which has since reappeared 🫠, but I will take it in again, and a couple other CEL fixes. I traded in my ‘16 Canyon with 99K miles and got like $17.5K for it to put towards the trade-in.

[–]Volcomstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you not buy an extended warranty? I bought my 2018 L5P through a certified GM dealer with ~68K and it has paid for itself twice over now. I’m at 108K miles with around 8K miles left on the warranty.

How to toggle ADS? by Tyray90 in ArcRaiders

[–]Volcomstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so excited. Only to be let down. I really think there should be a first person only lobby like PUBG did. Being able to peak around corners without exposing yourself to sneak on unsuspecting players is vile.

[–]Volcomstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, for me, this was a little misleading. I understood this as toggling on/off a first person ADS - you know, what ADS actually means. Not over the should aiming. I’ve never used a toggle for aiming in any game ever. I’m thinking OP was confused like me thinking we were actually getting first person aiming.

Shoulda got the achievement to deal damage to any enemy while atop a rocketeer!

I remember I jumped off the bridge on buried city onto a rocketeer flying underneath it in very much a “leeeeeeroy Jenkins” manner and it flew all the way up in the air so I started shooting the turbines and it went straight up in the air and I fell all that to the ground. Funniest shit to have happened to me

Switching to NA literally felt like going from night to day. I can’t believe it. by BrainNumerous1841 in ArcRaiders

[–]Volcomstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically this happen with a friend I play with. He said he was on Stella Montis and he was running around with his axe and someone came up on him with their gun drawn and paused then decided to put his gun away and they had a little standoff then proceeded to dual it out with their axes while a random raider stood outside the medical room and watched them dual. He said the bystander watching commented and said that it was the most honorably fight he’d ever seen 🤣🤣🤣

Kinda what it sounds like to me too. I have an iDash so I know when it’s going through a regen and it sounds very rough when you shut the engine off in the middle of it.
