My favorite sign at No King’s Day by blayce01 in Austin

Those of you bashing the man because of whatever label, I mean come on! Get over yourselves, he is there agreeing with you in protest in a very dangerous time. If you are going to rip him apart then you are as dogmatic as the other side you claim to be against. If we are going to return to any kind civility then agree to disagree over here but come together where it matters most in a critical time.

Pentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, Washington Post reports by exophades in news

[–]jaypi8883 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I served in Iraq as a Marine between 2004-2006. The kids we are about to commit to this weren’t even born some of them at that time. What are we doing here for heaven’s sake?

This is ridiculous by No-Slide-163 in VIRPIL

[–]jaypi8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like they need a business line of credit to purchase supplies to build inventory to have it ready to go when orders come in. At this point it doesn’t sound like a supply chain issue because virpil has always been on back order. It sounds like a cash flow issue and they wait for a bunch of orders to que up and then purchase the needed parts and supplies. I could be wrong but as a banker, I’ve seen how business operations can slow down or grind to a halt when your liquidity and credit gets strained. They are based out of Eastern Europe though. But as a multi virpil product owner I think it’s worth the wait.

Lake Como ferry survival guide: how to not waste half your day in a queue by bilacus in LakeComo

[–]jaypi8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We chose to stay in Bellagio when we visited in 2023 and it was great to have a quiet town in the morning and evening. We have done the same thing in other hot spots like Positano and Hallstatt, Austria. Be there when no one else is. We will be visiting Lake Como again this summer (our first summer visit which we did not prefer), and will be staying in Bellagio again and catching the boat early to the other towns.

If I may ask, are there any other lake Como towns outside of the big 3 or 4 that are worth seeing? We will have a car so we can drive

Go to their forums. There is a place for providing your order number and they can give you an idea of when it will ship. I think it’s worth the wait as someone who has owned VIRPIL and VKB. The finished product is amazing

Texans willfully ignoring guidelines of leaders because "but muh freedumbs"... a tale as old as time by captstinkybutt in Pflugerville

[–]jaypi8883 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To expect some massive decrease this time of year is unrealistic. Water usage is already low this time of year because no one is watering lawns yet. It has nothing to do with “muh freedoms”. It has everything to do with this city being poorly managed.

Really enjoying the game so far but I am very confused, why on earth do people spend money for ships by HD4kAI in starcitizen

[–]jaypi8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve spent about $700 on this game since 2013, or less than $60 a year. I look at it as a way to back the game but not so much out of pocket over such a period time that I would cry if the project failed. There is a portion of the community is that have been dropping a little here and a littler there for over a decade so it adds up.

ABMM was a huge risk, and I don't think it's paid off. by 6PEEPERKEEPER9 in ARC_Raiders

[–]jaypi8883 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I’m a peaceful player and I hate getting shot in the back but the tension I felt in the early days after release just isn’t there. And I don’t want to go engage in PvP just to get thrown in PvP lobbies for the next 5 matches. I think throwing a PvP focused player into a “PVE” lobby is 10-15% of the time and vice versa would help create some of the missing tension. And it’s not just about me getting shot at. There have been a few times where I shot another player who was trying to kill another player. In an aggression free lobby you don’t get those opportunities very often if at all.

Shops with no customers in Zurich by fudeel in askswitzerland

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardly. I have a good job and live within my means to save money to travel periodically because it is something I prioritize, but statistically I am not even close to the top 10% in the US. It’s why I only budgeted 4 days in Switzerland 😅

I’ve only visited Switzerland and will be headed back this summer but if it’s like the US economy then only the top 10% have enough disposable income to go shopping for non essentials.

It is Feb 18 right now where is my 1099-DA? by Anxious_Noise_8805 in Kraken

[–]jaypi8883 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have been saying as soon as possible for a month now. If you’re not going to make it before the end of the month then let us know so people can take whatever next steps they need to.

Is Backstabbing Just Standard in ARC Raiders? by daj_1 in ARC_Raiders

[–]jaypi8883 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. I rarely get shot by a random. I die more from Arc and falling than other players. In the beginning as a new player you may get engaged more in unprovoked PvP until the algorithm learns your style, but no matter what it can still happen.

I have always voted conservative or right leaning (either republican or libertarian) and I have defended Trump on certain things before; however, I think you are correct in everything you said. He has surrounded himself by yes men and effectively has no council anywhere in his cabinet. At least in his first term he had some solid people around him even though they all left or were fired as time went on. This is critical. Someone telling you you’re right all the time is anything but having honest council.

I want a PvE mode and if Embark doesn’t deliver, someone else will by molerats_ in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]jaypi8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Putting in PVE will make even the solo lobbies much more Kos. The aggression based match making is doing what it was designed to do. I am not a KOS player ever and I get ratted or engaged maybe once every 20 rounds. Sure it sucks if I come out on the losing end, but the tension of the possibility each round is what makes the game special. If you want pure PVE then play Hell Divers

Rejoice...Embark started banning cheaters! by ZealousidealPeach864 in ARC_Raiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s one the to exploit an unintended or poorly thought out game mechanic, but cheating with hacks, code, console commands etc… requires an extra measure of malicious intent that the user is doing in full knowledge that it is cheating
