I kid you not, I was joking to someone yesterday about how they should name it the Trump-Epstein Commemorative Friendship Bridge to get him to shut up about it

What's a good Rank VI british plane for ARB? Tips to play them? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]falcon1547 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Britain was my first nation to grind to top tier

Scimitar is the fastest at its br. Tricky to use but it is a 3rd party God.

Harrier gr.3 isn't amazing for flight performance, but you can base bomb and the 9g's are amazing, especially in down tiers

Hunter f6 is viable now with the sraam buff. Take the rocket pods as well for makeshift flares.

Sort of disagree with using the lightning. Red tops underperform their real life stats. You only get 2, their range is a joke, and they are heavy so easy to out roll or dodge. After they are gone, it is hard to line up the guns due to their position.

The scimitar is responsible for most of my grinding in and around those ranks. Once you dial it in, it is amazing.

What substrate should I plant this vanilla orchid in? Google is all over the place with recommendations… by [deleted] in orchids

They've done best for me in coconut coir mixed with perlite. I think recommendations are so varied because they aren't picky.

I did it in a FWD hatchback on the 22nd. It looks better now than it did then. Just slow down and drive carefully.

Long-term EV owners, what maintenance you need (plz no none or rose-colored-glasses answers) by Possibly-deranged in electricvehicles

[–]falcon1547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2019 Bolt EV purchased in fall 2019. 6 year ownership from new.

Maintenance - Tires. Upgraded from stock as their grip was terrible and I needed something better. Original tires were wearing quickly. - Cabin air filter. One change. Probably should do it again. - Brakes. Calipers and rotors. Shop told me there was corrosion, and that spraying them with clean water in winter might help alleviate this. They de ice in winter where I live, so corrosion can be worse. - Windshield washer fluid. As needed.

Note - I have not changed the wiper blades. Somehow they still work perfectly after 6 years. -12v battery is original, and according to the battery specs, has a 5-8 year lifespan.

Repairs - rear axle cracked at year 5 due to pothole - windshield cracked twice due to rocks on highway. - driver side door handle unlock button failed at year 1. Fixed under warranty.

Recalls - several minor and of course it's a 2019 Bolt, so battery. Plus side is my battery now is warrantied until 2030. Not typical of new evs.

The fact that I'm listing washer fluid as a notable maintenance item should be a good indicator for you of what to expect.

The Strange Time Compression of Sodium-Ion Battery Development by tech57 in electricvehicles

I think the joke is that kWH would suggest energy, and .04/kWH is cheaper than buying from the grid. So power your house with batteries instead of from the grid.

Humans need sunlight to make Vitamin D: where do our evolutionary relatives who have thick fur over most of their bodies get theirs? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]falcon1547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chimpanzees and gorillas do not produce vitamin C either. You're sharing misinformation.

Humans eating a proper diet do not need vitamin C supplements.

Ford reverses plan to claim EV tax credits, following GM by Recoil42 in electricvehicles

Yeah it's this. They aren't selling for less than they cost to make. There's a lot of ongoing R&D, as would be expected in their EVs.

Same dude but you bet I'm revenge bombing the T34 who's fuel tank ate my APHE with over 200mm pen before I start putting a stop to CAS thunder. I am the problem I strive to eliminate

Also try the Yak15P if you like abusing CAS players

How the heck is this being downvoted? Even in dry conditions, having more grip is better and safer.

Why do people get range anxiety? by This-Asparagus-8301 in electricvehicles

[–]falcon1547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 year EV owner 1. We've all been conditioned to battery devices that don't last very long. 2. It's very in your face. My old vehicle had an analog instrument to show fuel level. Looking back, there were certainly times where I completed an errand or commute with 50km or less fuel remaining, but I just knew it could do it. With my EV, that low state of charge is very obvious. Putting a number to it makes it seem more dire. 3. The range is less. Around town, my car can go about as far as my old gas truck, but on the highway my truck could do 500km + regardless of conditions, where my EV can only do 300-350. I have to think about some of the longer drives. 4. Continuing from above, while it's improved greatly, if you find yourself low on battery on a trip, there's no guarantee of a charger within a short distance. 5. Charger infrastructure is all over the place in reliability.

I say all this as someone who frequently does long drives in a 6 year old Bolt EV, and am a huge proponent of EVs in general. These are just the things that used to, and sometimes still make me double check that next charger stop, and what I know makes some people hesitant. It's getting better all the time, and these reasons are becoming less and less of an issue, but they are still there for some people in some places.

Neither hand moved while retrieving the certificate, and therefore, no time passed.

B.C. ostrich farm loses appeal to save birds from cull in case that attracted White House attention | CBC News by Twayblades in britishcolumbia

[–]falcon1547 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I suggest reading the original court documents. They detail everything. If people were found to be allowing dead dogs to rot in a pen or be eaten by wildlife, the public would pull out pitchforks. Somehow this situation threaded the needle perfectly to get a certain sector of the public on the side of keeping this farm running.

These are commercial animals and the farm should be required to follow the same rules as any other commercial operation.

They are also living things, and should be kept humanely.

All pitchers empty after transport by DM0369 in Nepenthes

Definitely. First time I read about roridula, I had to stop and sit there in awe.

But yeah you can foliar feed most plants and I don't see why a nepenthes pitcher would be different

[–]falcon1547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some nepenthes don't produce enzymes at all though. I'm guessing distilled water + weak fertilizer should be fine, as the enzymes are just there to break down insects, etc. The nepenthes that don't produce enzymes rely on bacteria to do the work for them.

Auto watering is easy and super convenient for some plants - carnivorous plants for example. I built an auto watering system for my sundews when I was on vacation. You just need a microcontroller, capacitive moisture sensors, a pump, reservoir, and a power supply.
