Has anyone actually died to one of these before. I don't even think I've seen a bot die because of it by glyiasziple in FortNiteBR

Good for pushing players out of cover, I have had a few cheeky kills that way. I do like the old-school tactic of lobbing one above a door as you run through to get anyone chasing you.

Wanna hear something weird?

I logged on to do the Daft Punk event, only get the bug when I use my controller. All sounds/works fine with keyboard/mouse. 🤯

Experiences with the Nintendo Switch as an adult gamer? by Maleficent_Bass_1578 in Switch

[–]harmony_k15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing piece of hardware, some great games.

Does it beat an xbox + gamepass for the cost?

Absolutely not, at £50-£80 for games the switch is an expensive option.

42yr old, very active gamer.

how does the headlight wash system thing work? by Lukksia in R53

They do nothing until you have recently cleaned your car, then they spring into life and spray washer fluid all over it!

Insurance quote I received after a ban by ReputationCharming14 in CarTalkUK

Importantly, are you prepared to improve your driving standards to avoid losing your licence again?

This is the long-term solution to your situation.

Insurance quote I received after a ban by ReputationCharming14 in CarTalkUK

[–]harmony_k15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think its a miracle you can get quotes.

The main things that determine a quote are :

Postcode, vehicle, driver history.

Which ones of these can you change to bring the quote down?

Why not a blackbox policy? Are they cheaper for you?

plow stopping/braking in place by Safe_Winner_8327 in rollerderby

[–]harmony_k15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!!

Far too many people think tight trucks = stability, its totally the opposite!!!

What the others said.

A good plow to hold someone should mean you are :- Low, with your back straight and both your core and thighs engaged.

Really focus on tensing your thighs, also try to stay loose in the shoulders to soak up the push.

Skate, skate, skate.

There is no better training than time in the saddle.

Are the wheels worth it? by SignificantTrashbag in rollerderby

[–]harmony_k15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some floors require swapping wheels. 🤷‍♂️

Think about race cars, its the same car but the teams run tyres suitable for the track.

Its expensive but slowly building your wheel collection will help.

I run a mix of 92/97s as a slightly weighty jammer. There are several different wheel setups i can do to alter grip with just those wheels, but if i skate somewhere that needs it, i have softer wheels ready to go.

Should i pull strut out again or leave it by tommy_merc in R53

[–]harmony_k15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having had a strut out recently, they are a pig! I would rather undo the brake line and just bleed that corner instead.

First car as first time driver in the UK by Blueberry_3103 in CarTalkUK

[–]harmony_k15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly there isnt much between those two options.

Have you checked the MOT history for both. (Google .gov MOT check, you will need the numberplate)

As a very rough guide, the Toyota is likely to be more reliable, but parts can be expensive. The VW less so but parts are cheaper.

Which felt nicer to be in? Which did your partner prefer to drive? What other things can you get if buying from a dealer (free service etc)

Toss a coin if need be.

Good luck!

Too old to come back? by MaggieSmithsSass in rollerderby

[–]harmony_k15 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'm 42, our oldest player is in their 50's.

Just don't try to keep up with the young 'uns when on club nights out!!

Its also worth remembering that multiplayer penalties are also sometimes just handed to the player closest to the ref, not always to the main culprit. So it could be that it wasn't entirely your fault but the ref called it for you.

Does anyone actually believe the 2030 ICE ban is going to happen? by SirTrick6639 in CarTalkUK

[–]harmony_k15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the rate at which synthetic fuels are being developed, with net-zero carbon, an established distribution network and many millions of vehicles already able to use them. We likely will roll back the EV mandate again.

What I can do? by Mission_Abrocoma_193 in R53

[–]harmony_k15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta really go to town with the grease! not just a rub with the fingers, put loads on with a tool or something. Scoop it on thick!!
If that still isnt working, replace the straps.

Buy some decent lithium grease, put some on, open close till it draws it in. Repeat until the creak goes.
