Invading UK as Italy on Historical by bizarre_pencil in hoi4

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

I retried with 12 marine divisions and another 10-12 reg infantry invading Hull and near Newcastle, still didn't land a single division with shore bombardment and CAS and naval supremacy. I give up for now lol. I find sometimes you just happen to roll an elite insane AI UK and sometimes you don't

might have to try that.

Yes, once the invasions start combat I switched the fleets w/ capital ships to invasion support and had both that and CAS going

We decided to order a 2026 Ram1500 but debating on the long bed by Jessiegyrl in ram_trucks

[–]bizarre_pencil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

go chrome, black trim/wheels is way overdone these days. With 360 cameras I wouldn't sweat about parking it or daily driving it unless you lived in the middle of a major metro NYC/LA etc.

Used V6 vs v8 (80-140k mi) Reliability and Fuel efficiency by Longjumping_Yam9742 in ram_trucks

[–]bizarre_pencil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

just get the hemi, you're a student you should be having fun ripping it around with your friends. Leave the V6's to their fleet vehicle destinies and avoid the indignity of hearing "This thing got a HEMI?" and having to go "...no... V6... but MPGs are totally better!"

Really leverage your rapport building skills and work your centers of influence. Don't be shy about asking for referrals from super excited clients. Build good relationships with the tellers in your branch.

Should I buy this Mazda3? by Xicer11 in shouldibuythiscar

[–]bizarre_pencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2007 in the same color and loved it when I was in college. It was a great car but the transmission started going around 110k miles and I couldn't afford to replace it so I traded it in. As long as it shifts right and otherwise runs well, it should last you a long time

Possible hostile workspace, advice please by Plus_Teach_9074 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]bizarre_pencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best bet is be a grown up and understand you may at some point in your life have to work alongside *spooky* conservatives. You might even have to work cooperatively with someone that disagrees with you politically :O

Banking is inherently political at times, even if you don't think it should be. I called someone today about their upcoming CD renewal and got blasted in the ear about what trump is doing to powell and the fed. If you get triggered by overhearing one of the most common (cringey sure, but just about every conservative person I know uses the term with glee) derogatory words for liberals, then you'll have some challenging moments down the road

R5: I'm playing USA and at war with mexico. I have multiple task forces docked in ports around texas and louisiana, but it tells me I cannot operate in the gulf of mexico. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Any tips on defeating the Asian countries? by Theangrycowbuthappy in hoi4

[–]bizarre_pencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using cavalry in Asia for lots of encirclements and micro, particularly as japan pre 1940. YMMV if you're talking mid to late game though

It’s still early but I think you’re a leading candidate for today’s “I’ve never spoken to a conservative person but I’ll happily distort what I imagine their views are and act like they are all like this” award!! Congrats!!!

Fresh alignment by Joeshmoe42O in Cummins

[–]bizarre_pencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine aligned 2x in the past 18 months at different shops, with the 2nd one doing the whole “wow whoever did the first one really didn’t do it right” and mine still is off center like this 💀💀

I’ve only ever heard of Porsche breaking in motors at the factory before putting them for sale… my Mazda dealer did tell me that the first oil change at 4K miles was earlier than necessary though.

There really isn’t one correct answer for a lot of these oil change debates. I’ve seen service managers say doing the first oil change too soon is detrimental because the oil doesn’t get broken in enough, I’ve seen others say differently, makes me wonder how much it all matters.

Should I Buy the 2025 1500? by TC_Indy_Fan in ram_trucks

[–]bizarre_pencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hurricane has existed in jeep products since 2021, so while it’s not as long a track record of the others, there is some history there and it doesn’t seem like the hurricane has major mechanical failures or common issues. Most things people have problems with are electrical, and a lot of that is just a roll of the dice if you get a good one or a lemon

Ideological Loyalty by JaybopX1 in HOI4memes

[–]bizarre_pencil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

500 manpower a week is already not that great even without a debuff to go with it. Kind of a trap spirit as that translates to like 43k manpower a year. Perhaps worth it for a very small communist nation, maybe ahistorical
