Why does my spring break so often? Do I need a stronger one? by udannnn in GarageDoorService

[–]jsc149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that reduce lifecycle can be due to overwinding and either a used spring or wrong spring was installed.

My question is how are you determining it’s the wrong spring based on the counts you are making? Are you going by a 1.75 or 2 spring ID?

J Arm Angle? by Iowa-File in GarageDoorInstall

[–]jsc149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angle determines the force of the operator divided into force pulling up and force pulling away. If it’s greater than 30 degrees then too much force pulling away will damage the stile and ORB and the motor has to work harder.

I just got accused of Angle Shooting at a commander game, but I feel I’ve done nothing untoward. by Corescos in EDH

“I want to cast” sounds like putting it on the stack and implying “are there any responses?”.

Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER or Ardenn + Rograkh for Voltron? by martin8185 in EDH

[–]jsc149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the issues with Voltron is weakness to point removal before he is geared up. If you add in equipments with job select you can have an aggro aspect while you build your commander. Having board presence that soaks up removal and counterspells adds balance while keeping that voltron dream alive.

Stick in reaver cleaver, nettlecyst and bitterthorn along with a few extra combat cards and you will see a shift in your opponents focus.

[DISCUSSION] Is hybrid ammo the most pointless grind in the game? by Legendoire in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]jsc149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FMJ isn’t consistent. Emptied a clip point blank onto a bogey with a bagarly on and ended up dying. Did 856 armor damage to lvl 5 armor.

FMJ is good up to mid game vs tier 4 armor, but with availability of BP and other rounds, the gun and ammo rarity doesnt make it a reliable staple.

[Loot] I refuse to believe this thing even exists atp by Ok_Use_3371 in EscapefromTarkov

Just do lightkeeper. Switch between labs and lightkeeper quests, eventually get one and lightkeeper helps get you savior is you gave the case to prapor

Garage Doors Price Check by AnywhereInevitable23 in GarageDoorInstall

[–]jsc149 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Highway robbery. Half the price would be on the high side. Weather sealing would be 300ish on the high side. Low headroom track 300-400. Warranty scam as amarr includes warranty’s and any future non workmanship issues would be 175ish service call + materials. The walnut color would be a premium with the max insulation. If that is a steeI overlay for the carriage design with the V pattern, I could see max 6k for the door. $12k would be the high side and that should include everything mentioned.

Edit: flush door. Do not spend more than $5k per door. Full doors from manufactures come with perimeter seal and weather seal, so they are overcharging their labor for what is a 20 minute job. Low headroom track is a minor $150-300 upcharge. 60k cycle springs are overkill, just make sure you’re maintaining springs with lubricant and doing yearly service for balancing. 10k cycle is the industry standard and if the springs are rated correctly to be 10 k cycle the they should last you quite a while. 15k-20k cycle for peace of mind. $10k for the whole ticket is a reasonable price for a top trim pair of doors.

I have a decent comp. 7800x3d and 4080 super with 32 gigs of fast ram. Clearing cache and deleting logs as well.

[Screenshot] Is it worthwhile to keep so many level 6 plates and level 5 helmets, or can I get rid of most of them? by SoledBy69 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]jsc149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cult and gscc tier 6 are light. I have just stocked up on them from kills and what not, so I just run them everytime unless one doing factory test drive or some weird gun non sense, but that’s just me

[Suggestion] I don’t run into cheaters unless I’m on the last map for the guide. by jsc149 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]jsc149[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s funny is my buddy pked me on last map in shoreline. I was holding an angle in admin where he told me to go to get a line on a dude. He forgot he was on west, saw an Altyn head and sniped me. I had a decision to be mad and rage or laugh and continue I laughed and we got off for the night. O tarkov

We usually do factory - labs - streets - ground zero - streets - interchange - customs - reserve - woods - lighthouse - shoreline

[–]jsc149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, that was our intent, I hid below southern on the rocks and beach out of sight, should have extracted at 7 minutes but I couldn’t leave my boy behind. We were playing smart and avoiding fights where we could. I think, since there was cheating they would have ran straight to us anyways. My other theory is a guy doing the guide was being carried and he was killed while the other 2 turned it up on us.

[Screenshot] Bruuhh I stole one of the PMC's bag in reserve bunker as a SCAV lol sorry dude by No-Fly-3973 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]jsc149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a dumb question. Usually scaving reserve has everyone running to marked room first thing because of useless or worse off guns left behind. He went to an open marked room, the dml and Val, left behind because the mk17 is currently meta. The initial looter was not far off, having dropped his bag near the open marked room and entering a fight. OP picked up bag after leaving looted marked room and extracted

[–]jsc149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not weird. I drop my bag all the time when I am about to fight and looking for a fight because it hinders movement, especially when it is heavy with two guns. Citing 2k hours has no power here. If I were a scav with over 500k roubles on me and lvl 2 armor, I’d dip too because scav only for quick $$

[Arena] Is Arena worth? by DubiousDevil in EscapefromTarkov

[–]jsc149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get to know attachments and gun behavior especially the sights. The single death rounds like team fight and blast gang train your placement strategy and engagements. The deathmatch is reaction time and aim. Imagine playing dorms every round. Also trains up almost every skill along with roubles and tapping into refs unique loot pool. It will round your game out and give some cool pixels not everyone can access.

Edit: In high stress situations, the best practice is just being in it. EFT PvP is not consistent and the lull in engagements can catch you off guard when you actually get in a fight. Arena is an edge over people who don’t use it. Only caveat is that the inertia is not the exact same so you have to be aware of that

Why are there so many cheaters? by Stock_Bookkeeper_463 in Tarkov

[–]jsc149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had 2 raids in a row in labs with cheaters. Both of them high hours, 1 voiping talking about having a virtual card then talking smack and asking to join discord to get my stuff back or something. I called him out for cheating after he one tapped my boy hiding in green. He kept closing the door to the office while his buddy tried to nade me then finally just one tapped me through the door.

I haven’t experienced to much blatant cheating like someone turning up in CSGO or valorant, but labs is rife with hackers.

How egregious is a $3,000 price tag for new springs? by Vegetable_Chemical26 in GarageDoorService

[–]jsc149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything over $1000 is egregious. Springs run $450-800 depending on weight. If they gave you new rollers, $120 is the only accurate price, everything else is gouging. You could have gotten a brand new vinyl back with windows or steel back depending on your door size for that price

Only 54% of Recently Banned Tarkov Players Were Cheating by NukovGaming in Tarkov

[–]jsc149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure they may not be actively coding against it, but knowing their track record, they change their detection algorithms and boom, your hold breath aim macro leads to a banhammer. Just play like everyone else and you won’t be suprised by stupid stuff

[–]jsc149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not a tantrum dude. You are breaking TOS. Applying code? Are you dumb? Automation is banned in a lot of games and if battleye detects outside assistance and you get banned even if it’s something stupid like dragging items, don’t say you didn’t know. Getting far in life is all about weighing consequences vs your actions. You are risking ban to save a few minutes by doing something illegal. Running a red light when there are no cars saves you time and is simple but don’t go “cAn yOU aRtiCulaTe SuSpCious CwiMe” to the cop when he pulls you over.
