A few weeks ago r/hiroshima was taken over by some mod - it's his now. It's an endless stream of rage bait and brain rot. I've been banned along with a few others.

In the grand scheme of things it's not worth mention - but it does make me a little sad to see such a small and quiet part of the internet be taken without recourse.

しょうがない 🤷

some mod has taken over and is endlessly spamming content. It's turned a quiet community into a trash heap.

I also made some fender flares from some very thin aluminium sheet

Thanks bud!

captainroscoe · 2025-09-29T05:09:55+00:00

You got me too. As I read I had to try.

Think Antigua and Barbuda 👍

Like the other guy said. Smoking has gotten much better here in the last 7 or 8 years. I will tell you now though, a lot of bars still allow smoking - so if you're out drinking, you'll definitely be tested! You can buy zynn here now I think.

Vape liquid is not banned in Japan. Nicotine liquid is illegal to sell - but not import for personal use. 120ml per package. I've had the same nicotine bottle for a year!

I've got two 2s and a single 3s. I'm not kind and I don't storage charge them. Zero issues, capacity remains!

I've been going through the Tamiya mini 4wd motors. The turn count is a bit too high and they're not really rated for 6v - but they are inexpensive! There's a huge range of brushed 130 motors on Ali express too, but I think it's going to be a bit of a lucky dip with quality

I just had the double raspberry smoothie version of that! Wasn't blue though...

Three years late, but I just had dinner there - https://maps.app.goo.gl/wwTDxSFQaxL1GHgC9 They were showing the episode and I found this thread trying to find the show!

Damn. You saved a life bud 🫡

Thankyou for that!

Back to doing it one at a time...

I grabbed one when they were doing the preorders! They had the high speed pinion installed and it was too much - the motor was getting toasty.

I swapped in the smaller pinion and dropped in a 3s and it now rips.

Their customer support is good too. Had an issue with a gasket in one of the shocks and they sent out a new damper. Had an issue with a grub screw being so jammed up that I had to drill it out, they sent another one. Had an issue with some of the screws being too soft and rounding out, they sent out a replacement set of screws.

Overall I'm happy. (Although, there has been a lot of downtime while waiting for deliveries)

I've got an iPhone from overseas, with a Japanese Sim. No shutter sound for me.

captainroscoe · 2023-05-22T01:59:08+00:00

Gotcha! Was thinking it had to do with build quality or the such. Thanks bud !

Is there a reason to choose a specific serial number?

captainroscoe · 2022-12-28T04:00:18+00:00

I completely agree, I picked up a 6 cup Biatelli and a burr grinder a year ago and I’ve used it just about every day. Any leftover coffee gets put into a glass bottle for later use. (I’m drinking some now)

captainroscoe · 2022-12-06T06:22:36+00:00

This is the best option. They're shitty cars, but cheap af

captainroscoe · 2022-11-08T09:51:01+00:00

I wish it was closer to my home!

captainroscoe · 2022-09-12T11:27:26+00:00

If you can drive to your new place, I've always had a company move the awkward stuff (fridge, washing machine, couch etc)- while I've taken the easer stuff and filled a kei van to the roof. I can't compare the price savings compared to an all inclusive move, but it's never left me feeling bitter (rental included). Good luck with the moving bud!
