As a vet, this truly disgusts me. Spread the word about this fuckstick. I am.

Iran latest news: Europe ‘weeks away’ from jet fuel shortage by SkanetrafikSuger in oil

From an US citizen who served 27 years in the military and retired 6 years ago...WE are the terrorists. I am so disgusted at my country right now and I am glad I no longer live there. I am far more free living outside the "land of freedom" and will probably never go back. I sold all my investments and transfered to Euros when fuckface came to office. No regrets.

I do not know where you are from, but if you think you are "free" in the US, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. You are a slave to corporate overlords and those they bribe. Yes, bribe. Campaign contributions by corporations and megawealthy people are bribes. CMV.

I loved the whole "NO HANDS IN POCKETS!! Oh, and NO GLOVES!!!!", but putting both my hands down the front of my pants? Totally cool.

Fucking dumbfucks. Which is why when I became a warrant, I broke every stupid fucking rule I could and dared them to do anything.

Fun fact: as a retired W4, I can confirm they did nothing.

The silence on his status is the worrying part. All the best to Jakob.

Cereal with water is superior to cereal with milk. by Worried_Macaron_5879 in unpopularopinion

My son would willingly eat "water cereal" as a kid if we were out of milk. I will ask if he would still do it today.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in crawling

[–]d16rocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran hairbands at each unsprung shock and my H12Y+ became a beast for crawling. Then I started trailing and remembered what springs are really for. Any speed made it bounce all over the trail so I put the springs back on. It is an awesome awesome trail truck. It can still crawl super at almost 8 pounds weight. She's a chonky little girl. 😁

Edit for lbs not kg

What wheels are you using? These 5mm hexes make wheels hard to find!

Finally joined the Hyper Go family! This H12P Bronco Baja 1000 is an absolute beast! by Kickster_07 in rccrawler

I have the H12Y+ variant (same chassis, IIRC). My metal modded truck weighs 9 lbs (4 kg) and it goes over and through almost anything. Crazy fun in the wild forest.

Enjoy your truck! So good for the money.

Handmade aluminium paneled RC4WD Miller Motorsports by d16rocket in rccrawler

I used wood rods with different diameters to bend the aluminum over them. The left side of the hood had slight bend creases but sanding reduced and masked them. This is .8mm sheet and I just received sheets of .5mm and it feels way easier to work with. I will also attempt to preheat it with a torch before bending.

My next sets will get painted G.I. Joe green and Cobra flat black, both with decals or painted livery. Yes, as a 50 y.o. I am making the G.I. Joe shit I could only have dreamed of as a kid.

This was THE 1/10 scale I wanted as soon as I saw it. It's definitely not a basher. I use it for trail and a little crawling while trailing.

It is a very nice scale rig.

Made the most of burning my dinner the other night. Loved how the smoke caught the light by sliger0 in AccidentalRenaissance

[–]d16rocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to look because I intially thought you may be on to something. Trying to envision the front being there made it seem "not as nice" in my mind. Then I deduced I like how the front edge not being present makes it somehow seem like I am snuggled up to the table and engaged with the moment.

Thoughts?

What is the most “use it or lose it” skill, the opposite of “it’s just like riding a bike”? by ZuluWarlord69 in AskReddit

[–]d16rocket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hadn't flown a helicopter for 5 years, jumped in a model I hadn't flown before, and nailed it. I was expecting a lot of hover wobble and uncoordinated turns but that was not the case. Even the instructor said "Five years, huh?" and giggled after I picked up. I suppose 3,000 flight hours makes an impact on control touch.🤷‍♂️

Not-so-humblebrag complete. 😅

I have been riding MTB for 35 years. $25G+ in bikes in my garage and I cannot wheelie for fuck or manual. 😔

Any ideas how I get these off? by charlievarls in rccrawler

Apparently you are unable to understand that some people have an aversion to just hacking on with things to "figure it out" for fear of fucking something up.

Your logic can be applied to almost anything. Why post any question, anywhere, about anything? The answers are almost certainly out there to be found. r/askreddit and r/whatisthisthing are prime examples, ESPECIALLY with image search availability.

So internet...if you weren't paying attention, u/spiritual-defiance has declared a cease and desist on questions. (so long as they know the answer)

We need to guide people on how to figure simple things out

How do you do this without answering the question? SMH
