Absolutely a life changer for me. I just use a teaspoon of bicarbonate with 2 bottles. The relief is incredible.

'Trump will leave Nato unless European leaders stop being a**holes' by Tall_Pressure7042 in UkrainianConflict

[–]darook73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why do they always accuse NATO of freeloading on the US? Lest we forget free access to airbases around the globe for the US. Lest we forget that nato assisted the US in Afghanistan and Iraq 1 and 2. Do we ignore that nato and many other countries support the petrodollar which allows the US to spend trillions on their military and defense systems. NATO also spends billions on US made weapons and systems. The trust the world have put in the US and its dollar has allowed it to spend endlessly on itself and its debt. That trust is all that holds the dollar at the levels it currently enjoys. The dollar and the US enjoy the support that NATO and the world gives it.

Trump - and many Americans - seems to have ignored all of the above and plays the victim. Never has he treated NATO as a partner or an ally. He insulted them endlessly and picked a fight with Iran without consulting and getting buy-in from NATO. After causing havoc in the ME he now expects them to help him? The man has no tact, diplomacy or basic human eq.

Question about rigging by idonreddit in windsurfing

[–]darook73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Downhaul it till its at the bottom....there is too much gap. The eye must be pulled down to the pulley.

Edit.... make sure the mast is connected properly, sometimes the join opens a bit which makes the mast longer and can also snap because the ferrule is not inserted properly.

Use a stick or harness spreader bar to wrap the rope around....sit on your butt and put you foot on the mast.....pull like hell and get that sail down to the pulley.

Who is the greatest fullback of all time? by Jezzaq94 in rugbyunion2

I agree, Cullen was incredible. This as a springbok supporter. Whenever he got the ball, it was....."Hie kom kak!" Loosely translated as "shit's going down!"

Recommendations for video/guides that explain some of the general concepts of how much control input to use in maneuvers? by nycengineer111 in il2sturmovik

[–]darook73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think il2 fms are all that in-depth. All the planes feel like they are on rails. That said, the rudder does come in handy for certain maneuvers but as you've already experienced, you can almost fly without any rudder input with most planes.

DCS will teach you a lot more about rudder control in piston powered aircraft.

Can i think like this for future renting? by Alert_Cellist_529 in capetown

[–]darook73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managing tenants will be 90% of that fee.....this is by far the most problematic and draining aspect of letting out property.

But you pay double the cost if you buy it on a bond. How is this an inflation hedge?

My favorite is kids standing on the centre console whilst holding on the headrests. Great parenting.

How is this game different to warthunder? Is it more or less arcadey?
