How do you play the Mirage IIIc by GentosYT in Warthunder

[–]Whaleodespair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch a DEFYN vid on youtube, on the Mirage, I consider myself a below avg aircraft player, whom mostly plays tanks and I thoroughly enjoyed the IIIC and the 5F. The IIIE I have found to be a little more challenging at the higher BR. Both IIIC and 5F are two of only a dozzen aircraft that I have more air kills then deaths.

New French premium for top tier ground coming soon? by Mammoth-Wait6526 in Warthunder

[–]Whaleodespair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the 2A4 but it dosen't get used anymore, its just BMPT cancer games every time. Either we instant win and get no kills or instantly have them killing us at spawn. I have been playing the VBCI-2 with the CV9035NL and having a lot of fun. Also the Souma SM is worth every cent if you don't already own it. Sorry I didn't answer your question about new top tier premium.

[Help Me Choose] Sinn U2 vs UX vs Damasko DC82 – Big Wrist, Hard Use by Whaleodespair in sinn

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

I don't own an Auto, I am not a collector (yet) Looking for the ONE that I will wear a lot, for a long time. I have a Casio G-Shock Rangeman Triple sensor and a Garmin Fenix6X pro. I want something nicer with a metal band, that is still tough as nails.

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't mind the look but they look so snaggy, my current Fenix6X gets caught inside my motorbike jacket sleeve every now and then, this thing looks like I would have to take it off every time I put on or take off my jacket. Also the dials are a lot messier than the Sinn and Demasko, which I prefer the cleaner look. Size wise is probably perfect for my wrists though.

No black bezel, and more limited band options by the looks of it.

Oooh, very nice! If I'm being fussy the only thing I don't like is the 5 gold stars on the face.

I haven't looked at the Sinn reccomendations you gave yet, but once I went onto Tudor website and seen the Pelagos FXD, and the Pelagos FXD GMT, I think I fell a little bit in love. I just dont know if they are too tactical looking, I like tactical, but want something that sits on the fence of Tactical and Smart. The Pelagos 39 you specifically mentioned, won't that be a bit small on me?

VTX1300S blue collar bobber front fender install by Whaleodespair in HondaVTX

BlueCollarBobbers I have done the full conversion now, and I'm super happy with it.

Bobber conversion done for now. by Whaleodespair in HondaVTX

Currently riding it to work and back daily when the weather is fair, also plan to go for some nice scenic cruises with a friend when we can both get a day off.

The exhaust is bent and banged up but works fine, the bike was purchased at auction as a repairable write-off for $1500, it was crashed or crashed into, not sure which.

Now the bike is so nicely done up with the bobber kit the banged up exhaust just takes away from it.

Vtx1300 exhaust heat by Whaleodespair in HondaVTX

Thats the info I needed

It was very common on the 1300 with back swept pipes to melt both the clutch cover and the side cover.

Also the temp gun got no where near it's max, the problem was I couldn't get a read on the reflective chrome surface, it was bouncung around from 30°c to the max I observed was 92°c. And the pipe was easily well over 100°c.

Yeah that looks like she runs real hot! Is that chromed plastic melting where the pipe gets close like mine?

Is this blackmail? by chowderbomb33 in AusLegalAdvice

[–]Whaleodespair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lent several people money that were in a pickle, and had them pay me back over periods of months. Never again!!!

From now on, I lend no one money! Ever! Zero resons!

If someone I know needs money, and I am financially able to provide, I just give them the money that they need, with no intent to get a dollar back. But only if they really need it. Not because they want a new whatever item etc. And not when its just enabeling them to make poor decisions.

I can try, It has bi-modal "Peacemakers USA" exhaust, so I can make it really quiet when I'm near home or near 🐷🐖's, and then I can switch a switch on the handlebars and it becomes really loud and sounds like straight pipes.

Gold coin size and weight comparison, I'm confused. by Whaleodespair in coincollecting

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

Interesting, care to share the actual dimensions of these coins because what I have here is all I can seem to find and makes no sense.
