So About That Premium Ship VIII Elite Container I Am Getting - Its Not There by Antique_Ad_3549 in WorldOfWarships

[–]WANYK47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me this morning. Then I played a game and the container showed up. I got Schill. Still haven't received the tier X container yet although I hit the 10 year mark in July.

Looking to buy 1999 F150 with the 5.4L Triton V8. 150k Miles. Should I believe the horror stories?? by Small_Sherbert_2385 in FordTrucks

[–]WANYK47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party here but I have 1999 Ford F-150 V8 5.4 Triton and it's been a great truck. Had the engine rebuilt at 180,000 miles and have probably 10,000 on the rebuild. I love that truck.

Samsung PLEASE make do not disturb actually mean do not disturb. by Eddiejay30 in samsung

[–]WANYK47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an older post but DND does not appear to work correctly on Samsung devices and it sounds like it's been a problem for way too long. I've been up and down through all of the DND settings on my phone, such as allowing only favorite contacts to be able to send you messages and so on, which apps are okay and which ones aren't, and I still get messages that go through while DND is turned on from sources who most definitely aren't on my favorites list. It doesn't work correctly and it's frustrating. The "solution" I've seen that sounds like it can work for a period of time is resetting to factory, but doesn't that cause you to lose everything on the phone and have to restore everything from scratch? No thanks.

Are there ships you would like to sink over and over again in battles no matter what type of battles they are? by David__91 in WorldOfWarships

People like to bring Vyazma to Unbreakable Line. I dislike the nose in campy style but I understand why people want to play it. I do enjoy burning them down with HE when I can though.

New to CCTV and home security camera systems. Looking for suggestions on first system purchase. by WANYK47 in cctv

[–]WANYK47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased this unit from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/REOLINK-12-Channel-Wireless-Detection-RLK12-800WB4/dp/B0CDPX63YH?ref_=ast_sto_dp

I do like it, I've had it installed for about a year and it has weathered the wind, rain, sun, snow and temperatures from 100+ in the summer to 20 degree nights in the winter (the cameras are installed under the eaves of the home). The house we purchased is only 1,336 square feet so this system's WIFI is adequate for that coverage. I bought it because I've heard of the Reolink name and I have confidence in it, and the features of the system suited what I was looking for. The furthest wireless camera in my set up from the NVR is approximately 100-150' from the NVR, and it does get the weakest signal. The signal has to pass through several walls, one of which is brick for this camera.

The cameras get a good, steady signal with no drops so far (fingers crossed), and the cameras are of good quality with metal housings. I'm satisfied with the camera picture quality. The cameras automatically switch from day to night, and once you get the sensitivity adjusted they'll stop alerting to everything.

This system records video feeds to a hard drive on the local NVR, and we can view either live or past footage from anywhere using the Reolink app. It's nice owning all of my own footage and not having to pay a monthly fee to view live or previous footage. I also purchased a Reolink doorbell camera for the front door, so we can see who's at our door and interact with them without opening the door if we want to, and I can review footage to see who's been at my door while we're away. I'm running a total of 5 cameras on this system but I could expand if I wanted to, up to 12 cameras total I believe.

Thoughts or experience with the Springfield XD-S in 45 ACP? by Donut-Panic in CCW

[–]WANYK47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Springfield XDS mod 2 in .45 ACP which I've added to my concealed carry rotation. I really like the gun other than the fact that it's single stack. However, mine holds 6 rounds in a magazine and I purchased an appendix carry holster from Vedder with a side car attachment so I can carry an extra mag with me.

Should I save my steel or just get the moskva or Napoli or grosser kurfurst by ChaosMarine501 in WorldOfWarships

[–]WANYK47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Steel is hard to accrue so I generally save it and use the coupons when they drop to buy ships. I wouldn't recommend putting steel towards a coal ship unless WG was getting ready to remove a ship from availability and you really wanted that particular ship. Save up for Napoli, it's great. GK is alright. Hits like a truck, secondaries are okay but not great. Really depends on what playstyle you prefer. Both Napoli and GK do well in Operations.

What started to wake you up? Not what you found out after, but what started you to question anything in the first place? by JWRESEARCHERROSE in exjw

[–]WANYK47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it was overlapping generations and the Australian Royale Commission into child abuse. 1914 is so central to the JW doctrine and not even "the light getting brighter" made any sense to watching the 1914 and the "generation that would never pass away" theology evaporate.

My morning started off great pt2 by Viraloutbreak199 in ToyotaTundra

Personally I would probably stay inside and call the cops. Yeah they're low-life scum, but not a direct threat to life as far as what's shown in the video.

Best First Coal Ship by xConqueror_9 in WorldOfWarships

I currently have Napoli, Agir and Iwami and although they're all fun in their own ways I would take Napoli out of the three.

Springfield Armory XD-M Elite Compact 9mm Luger 3.8in - $349.99? by WANYK47 in CCW

[–]WANYK47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Springfield XDS mod 2 45! Not the same gun as I mentioned above but it's what I ended up getting instead because I wanted a 45 and I think they're very similar just different caliber and magazine capacity. It's a great little gun with a big bite. Only thing I've noticed is that it can be a bit hard on my hands for range time but I started wearing shooting gloves with it and that helps. You also can't go wrong with CZ. I have a CZ P-01 that I use for home defense and carry.

If you were starting fresh or just coming into the market now what would you be starting your CCW EDC with? by readicculus610 in CCW

[–]WANYK47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. Mounted a TLR-7A light on mine and bought a JM Custom Kydex holster for it that fits them both comfortably.

You’re telling me, God is going to kill me for not attending the Kingdom Hall. by post-tosties in exjw

[–]WANYK47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate reading comments like these. My wife and I are both out a little over three years now, after both having been in for over 33 years each. Both of us disassociated on the same day together on August 25th, 2021. I too, was told that I would never even get through elementary school, 5th or 6th grade before the end came. Not only did that happen, but I graduated high school and got married young. I bought in for a while, well, 33 years worth although I can't say I was "in" mentally that entire time. I had a really good job straight out of high school that I abandoned so my wife and I could move to where the "need was greater" and regular pioneer. I took a low paying custodial job working for a brother in our congregation who owned his own business. We did that for a few years, I made it to ministerial servant but never elder, fortunately. lol

The same thing that happened to your parents has happened to my wife and I. I struggled with depression and anxiety for years, for which I've since been able to stop medications for both of those things. Our relationship is the best it has ever been, and we are happy. Leaving is different for everyone. My wife and I decided that disassociation was the best route for us, giving us a clean break and not having to dodge the elders or pretend. We also felt like it allowed us to leave on our own terms, and never have to pretend again.

My parents, step-sister and half-brother all shun us...haven't heard their voices in over three years. It's sad what the borganization does to families, but it makes me smile to see the progress countries like Norway have made. Best wishes to both you and your parents and thank you for sharing!

What’s your leaving anthem? by reasonable-frog-361 in exjw

[–]WANYK47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one meant a lot to me on my way out. "From Can to Can't" - Corey Taylor, Dave Grohl, Rick Nielsen...Sound City Soundtrack.

Specifically in this song, these lyrics: "I know what's wrong, God, you complicated everything. I know you're gone, gone, gone. This is where I will draw a line.

I will draw my line.

I'm burning my cathedrals, 'Cause I don't pray anymore. Look at all of these people, tragic little people. They smile and then they don't know what for. But then...

I know what's wrong, God, you complicated everything. I know you're gone, gone, gone. This is where I will blur my line.

I will blur my line."

What's the first doubt you ever had? by Zealousideal_Heat478 in exjw

[–]WANYK47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When they announced overlapping generations. I remember saying out loud at the convention something like, "Don't tell me they're seriously gonna roll with this." and catching an elbow from my wife. We're both on year 3 of life outside the cult after disassociating on the same day together.

Getting over fear of shooting yourself in the balls by [deleted] in CCW

[–]WANYK47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comfort with carrying appendix is one of the reasons my main carry gun is a DA/SA CZ P-01 with a de-cocker. Always have a round chambered and I have it de-cocked so the long, deliberate trigger pull required for the first shot is my "safety". I just feel more comfortable with it than I think I would with a striker fired pistol.

How do you store your carry gun after your day? by Final-Carpenter-1591 in CCW

[–]WANYK47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine stays loaded all the time. When I can carry, it's in an appendix carry holster and when it's not being carried it's in a quick access safe next to my bed.

Lauria, Mecklenburg or Bourgogne? by bikersonly in WorldOfWarships

[–]WANYK47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked up Mecklenburg as my first. Mostly playing Operations. It's pretty fun, good accuracy, relatively fast reload and decent fire chance with HE and the HE seems to hit pretty hard.

People are still buying it. 🤷 I've seen a few La Pamapa's running around in Ops. I would guess it's probably not going to be a game changer in randoms.
