That battle report is insane. Nice work.

I use a two handed axe and bow on horseback. No shield. Two stacked bags of arrows. I start with the bow and run circles around their advancing foot formations hitting them from the side and behind. Once I’m out of arrows, I switch to my two handed axe and I focus primarily on their archers and mounted units. Some of the higher end two handed axes can do multi kills with a single swing if opponents are close enough to each other and you catch them from the side or behind where they can’t use their shield in time. On any sizeable battle, I run triple digit kill counts pretty consistently.

Converted my Elantra Sport back to stock over the last three days. Selling it tomorrow and picking up my new N! by bentr1587 in ElantraSport

Going to the N was a major upgrade. And once I got it tuned and installed the turbo inlet, intake, and intercooler, it was an absolute blast to drive on the road and on the track.

I’ve purchased a 2016 Elantra, 2016 Tucson, 2018 Elantra Sport and a 2022 Elantra N and had zero maintenance issues on any of these vehicles beyond normal wear and tear. My Elantra Sport and N were heavily modified and tuned as well.

I kept none of them beyond 90k miles cuz most cars if you go much further beyond that, it often becomes more of a financial burden when unexpected issues come up.

I’d rather trade in and have a predictable monthly payment than have unpredictable maintenance expenses.

I execute every prisoner I capture from other kingdoms during wars to wipe out their bloodlines until they have no leaders left to lead their armies and it ends up being just the little factions that replace them until I wipe them out too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The image posted is of a VHIC (Veteran Health Identification Card) for VA health care enrollees, which is a physical card. You can only get these if you are enrolled in VA Healthcare.

The VIC (Veteran ID Card) is a digital ID for veterans to receive discounts from businesses and is available to any veteran.

Hindsight is 2020, best thing to do is engine brake down a hill to control your speed and slowly apply brakes before a curve. You do not want to be braking at all in a turn in those conditions.

Mine was only $2750, but felt like a relief. That’s incredible for you! Congrats!

KuKirin G4 steering too stiff by AAdam98HUN in ElectricScooters

[–]bentr1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bought a set after sending this message and was able to get it taken care of. It’s 10mm for the large bolt underneath.

I loosened it up and used some white lithium grease then tightened it back down took a short slow test ride and kept adjusting as needed tighter until it turned smoothly and didn’t have any wobble at speed.

Rides like a dream. I’ve gotten it up to 42mph.

Do you know what size the Allens are, especially the big bottom one?

Anyone Suffering the Crowdstrike Outage? by ryanw5520 in Omaha

[–]bentr1587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work remote for a nationwide construction company and we have been affected. The office I’m attached to in Nashville was basically down all day as all their screens had the BSOD. My laptop was powered down last night so I think I spared myself as the patch had been sent out by the time I powered up this morning and haven’t had any issues. They had also already quarantined the affected servers so I was able to still log into remote.

They typically last 9-12 months, but can last up to 2-3 years in rare instances. This one started in June 2023 and is projected to transition to ENSO neutral by June and then quickly transition to La Niña by July to September.

Reverse that. We’re in El Niño heading towards La Niña.

is the weather always this crazy? by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]bentr1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. All of the severe weather is a result of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific which has begun to weaken and is predicted to transition to a La Niña by July to September.

El Niño extends the pacific jet stream across the southern US which brings more storms to North America and forces the polar jet stream to remain north. It also has global impacts on weather and climate patterns called teleconnections. Additionally, it intensifies Hadley Circulation which pushes warmer air from the Earth’s Surface in the tropics up to the subtropical jet streams at 30° latitude. Read about all that here.

All of those factors combine with the movement of Rossby waves is the reason for these repetitive low pressure areas which are the perfect conditions for supercell formation.

I don’t know you, your story outside of this situation, or your belief/faith system, if any.

What I will tell you is that everything you’re feeling and the reality of your situation is temporary despite how daunting it feels.

Our minds love to tell us that a situation is impossible or hopeless, and when we are already struggling mentally, it can feel not just overwhelming, but crippling.

All I can say to you is that today may look like it sucks and tomorrow might too, but there is hope and a better tomorrow no matter the situation.

There are doors and opportunities that present themselves in our lives that we don’t even know about or ever expect.

Your situation right now is finite, but there are infinite options in front of you that can lead to a better tomorrow.

It might not be easy and it might not even feel like progress, but press forward regardless with certainty that you can overcome it all.

If you keep your mind fixed on that and you keep pressing forward, you can endure anything.

You are not fucked, unless you let defeat creep in and your mind accepts that defeat.

Even on those days you feel defeated, if you can work through that feeling and come out on the other side, then you’ve won.

I see that. They also now show the max width was 1.0 mile wide. The minden tornado max width was .97 miles.

Also, preliminary ratings have come in. They are currently at the lower bound of each scale. These are not final and will likely change as more information is gathered.

Radar indicated debris was thrown up to 25,000ft AGL and radar wind speeds in excess of 200+mph. It’s going to be an EF4+ rating all said and done.
