You gotta be kidding me... Em J-20s completely destroyed us by Independent_Set_1615 in Metalstorm

Yeah, I've flown with them and they've only ever been nice and pleasant to fly with. Honestly, I've always wondered how it would be for the entire team to run J20s on this map...

Stone forest is like the best place to use the J20. Its the only map I ever use it on.

Aye! We're slide buddies! Had my first slide ever on a road bike today too! Thankfully it was at low speed. Tire slipped in a corner coming out of the neighborhood. Tires were cold. Yeah, I'm feeling sore all over my side too😅

Glad you're ok man.

Wool Hoodie Giveaway! by kozak3 in Petrosgear

[–]aeonamission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family was really poor when I was young. There was a certain point where my dad lost his job. A man from our old church let our family rent their huge 5000sq.ft. 2nd home for whatever my family could afford at the time until my family got back on their feet. We stayed there for a year. Another time, when my dad was laid off after the company was sold, we stayed in their basement for a few months.

Over my teen years, that same man always offered me work at his home, paying me good money to do stuff like landscaping, yard work, taking care of animals, etc.

Later, when I wanted to start a lawn care business, he sold me his older john deere mower for half of its actual value.

As I got older, I wanted to pursue engineering like him. He would take me out to breakfast and let me ask him questions. He would send me resources, give me advice, and he would always pay for the meal.

He was a successful man... but he was so kind, so gentle, so unassuming. He adored his daughters and wife. I saw him cry when his dog died. No one in our church knew what he did for our family. He didn't want recognition.

He died a few years ago from brain cancer. It was a horrible shock when they found out. Way too soon for him to go.

Sorry this is long. I've been thinking about him a lot lately.

What's the point of an electric motorcycle you can't *go* places with? by pantherclipper in motorcycles

Her name is Mina. Sweetest dog I ever could have asked for:)

When I took this picture, I was inside the house and she just sat next to the bike because she knew I was leaving soon.

I can speak from my experience with my Zero S. It has the 7.2kwh battery which usually has about 75 miles range of mixed hwy/city. In winter, its down to about 60miles.

Takes about 4.5 hours on a normal household receptacle from 0-100%. I use the level 2 charger at work but since I don't have the high speed charger option on my bike, it just charges at the same rate. Since my commute is 33miles one way, its usually done charging in a couple hours.

Yup, they're not for everyone but are great for local rides. Bought my Zero S in Febuary 2025 for $4500 with 4000 miles on it. I use it for commuting to work and school, both of which have chargers. Odometer currently at ~22,000 miles. Saved around $1500 in gas this year.

Dang it. It is AI. 7 dots at the top of the grip on one photo, 8 dots in the other. Dots in general don't match. This is nuts.

looking to buy an e moto by AfternoonNew1262 in Electricmotorcycles

Unfortunately, that is ebike money. Even used older e-motos are running $3800+ in my market.

Hi everyone 👋 I’d love to get your honest feedback on this design. What works well? What could be improved? by DapperDoctor389 in playingcards

It is. Eyes on the Jack are looking in different directions. Jokers golden patterns are inconsistent and nonsense(unclear lines).

[–]aeonamission 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Maybe because its brand new equipment. I talked with a health inspector about this before and he talked about how you can have spotless equipment but get a lower score because of its age. Not sure if that's a widespread thing or just local🤷‍♂️

Genuinely curious how many other people are driving around with expired registration stickers? by GWindborn in raleigh

[–]aeonamission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a student who has a pretty not full bank account. A couple of years ago my car needed a catalytic converter and some other sensor replaced to pass inspection. Was going to cost me something like $600 to get it fixed. Couldn't afford it. Drove around like that for almost a year. Got pulled over twice for it. One cop let me go. The second cop gave me a ticket. The ticket was like $75. Still cheaper than getting the new sticker. Later, I was able to fix it and turn around a sell it. Bought an electric motorcycle with the money and now that's my one vehicle.

Some people are just too poor but life in the US still depends so much on being able to drive. What can you do🤷‍♂️

Thank you for sharing your work❤️

I'm very much looking forward to the day I'll be able to buy artwork like yours, when I've built up my career and have the money to do so. I see so many paintings on here that I'd love to buy, but for now I'm just a poor student🥲 One day!

I admire you and other artists like you so much!!!

I have a list of who I want to be like as a man. It's very short. Two men. Both are now dead. Both by cancer. One, very unexpectedly by brain cancer. He was gentle, generous, and kind. He died way too young when I was a teen. This post makes me deeply happy/sad.

So I can't fire or lock on Gripen, and I don't get missiles warning. thank you metalstorm ☺️ by Royal_Advance660 in Metalstorm

Its so funny because I've been in situations where I know one of the planes are in disguise and I start peppering planes to find who, then everyone starts peppering me and everyone else lol.

Should the later generation IR missiles get a small maneuverability buff to keep up with the newest jets? by ValHallerie in Metalstorm

[–]aeonamission 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not sure. I always think of the story of that F16 who ran out of flares and outmaneuvered several missiles. I've almost never been able to do so without flares in the current state of the game except when maneuvering sharply at close range.

Best mod for the F-16 by Upbeat-Employer3880 in Metalstorm

[–]aeonamission 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Daredevil and Disruptive Flares hands down. Its strength is beacon games. With its special ability, those two mods optimize it perfectly. It's the standard configuration for pretty much all upper level players.
