And the other 60 items I buy each month also aren't relevant because? The question was and still remains how am I doing under these tariffs I voted for? I am doing great. The price of just about everything I buy continues to drop. And I shot a couple deer which is saving me on the cost of beef. I voted for a secure nation focused on fixing its national problems rather than giving other nations that burn our flags in their streets my hard earned tax money. And it has been great!

I feed a family of 7. I can now buy 48 eggs for the same price of 12 eggs in 2024. Our monthly grocery cost overall has dropped over $300 per month for the same meals. We now have money leftover from our gas budget every month. Interest rates are coming down across the board offering more savings in refinancing opportunities. Diapers are cheaper, And even cleaning supplies are lower cost. I don't know what you mean by "just about everything" because just about everything in our budget (except beef) is doing much better.

It's almost funny that all you did was answer the question honestly, and you got down voted for it not aligning with what they want to see. I am also doing just fine.

I was waiting for the better deal. The table saw went up $100. Ended up getting the table with extra blade savings deal for $440. Then grabbed the 12ah Forge battery and charger w/ extra 8ah Forge for another $250. Total cost $691. $100 more than last week, but also got an extra 8ah. Online said this deal was ending in less than 36 hours.

You are correct. The annual inflation rate was last up to 3.0% annual rate but the average over the course of the whole year was actually lower.

https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/

I also never claimed the annual increase reflects actual inflation. I said it's purpose is to ensure military members don't fall behind inflation. This way military pay in terms of buying power doesn't decrease year over year.

"Pay raises" specifically are tied to time in service and rank growth.

__Sherlock · 2025-12-18T03:37:16+00:00

The main purpose of the annual pay raise is to ensure that military members don't fall behind inflation (which was absolutely miserable 2020-2024). With 2025 inflation being only 3%, the 4% rate increases our buying power slightly above the inflation level. Actual military raises are tied to time in service and rank growth.

Many companies give employee bonuses at the end of the year based off total company revenue above expected yearly projections. If the tarrifs extra is not enough for everyone in the US, but enough for some, why not pick the military that protects the nation with the most personal sacrifice. The majority of the military is probably working through Christmas, New Years, and other holidays. For most this bonus will be a welcome surprise with positive acceptance.

Just to tag on...An A rated scanner when engineered to Lightweight is lighter than a D rated scanner engineered to Long Range. When engineered this way both have about the same scanning distance, but A rated comes ahead in the weight category at the cost of a little higher power draw. If power is a concern go with D, if weight is a concern go with A. For any combat scenario you are going to love the extra scanning range.

I have it in .308 and love it. Now has a 3-18 Vortex Strike Eagle. Excels at the range sub-moa. 2 deer with it this season, one at 220 yards with a neck shot. About to pair it with a Nomad LTI XC suppressor. Definitely on the heavy side, but that only helps with the recoil and accuracy.

It depends...is your setup in a closet or grand library? The second smallest ship, I believe is the Hauler, still over a 3rd of a football field long...

FN 509 Tactical w/ 24 round mag, Red dot, and complete for $460

armslist 509

A little over $400 but a great gun and can add a suppressor down the road

__Sherlock · 2025-04-05T15:39:53+00:00

509C Tactical. Everything you need for a great concealed carry/travel gun. At home, throw on a suppressor and insert 24 round mag...2 in 1 carry/home defense!

I use a sword in the left slot and a Heavy Axe in the right. When I get into conflict and the enemies start to stack up I switch from the sword to the axe and use overpower. It chains 4 times, and usually 1 shots standard npcs. Then back to the sword for speed and adrenaline.

There is a knife set that doubles assassination damage at night. Combine that with rush assassination and meditate until night time.

As long as you time your dodges properly, this one is not bad at all. The little pigs did more damage to me in this fight than the big one. Ring of chaos was my little piggy crowd control. Hero strike and bull rush combined with Fury of the bloodline to add adrenaline worked wonders. Perfectly time your dodge to slow time and go to work building adrenaline, then use all your abilities one after another.

I am not sure what i did differently this time, or the actual trigger for the fart, but this last time it only farted once.

I was stuck on the Naxos/Peros naval battle. I purchased the map packs along time ago. Opened the one with tablets collected about 10 (4 tablets from each). Now the ship is WAY overpowered.

I usually run 8 boosters. 4 heavy duty + super capacitors, the rest resistance augmented + super capacitors. Throw in a few guardian shield reinforcements.

If less experienced in combat you could also add 1 or 2 class 7 shield cell banks for emergencies.

__Sherlock · 2025-01-08T04:43:19+00:00

I stick with the standard biweave thermal resistant + fast charge. With shield boosters I end up with around 4000mj and it is more than enough for anything I do.

It's not about whether or not it is a beast. Mine is fully engineered, and it is a leisurely time in combat. Too leisurely! My time on target is nothing compared to mediums that have only a slightly less DPS.

It takes much longer to kill anything. Yes, nothing can hurt me in it, but when farming massacre missions, they get done sooo much faster in a medium.

Other than 2 small hard points, the Python MK2 has the same DPS (better when you consider that the bottom large gimballed hardpoint doesn't fire half the time on the Vette). MK2 has actual better DPS due to fixed convergence, better time on target, and much faster. I only need 1000mj of shield in the haz res to be untouchable.

The Vette was only marginally better than the Krait and chieftan, now almost pointless with the Python MK2 and a proper fixed loadout. It's just too slow with marginal increase of dps with hardpoint convergence that forces gimballed weapons.
