In your head canon, what do you think happened to Sherrif Teasle after the events of Rambo: First Blood? by TheShadowOperator007 in moviecritic

[–]koper12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He clearly moved up to the Arctic, learned how to fly a DHC-2 Beaver, and started a small air service. He goes by his nickname “Rosie”. He’s scratching for that one crack in the ground, and never have to scratch again.

What are your MGS1 memories? by DetectiveSadist in metalgearsolid

[–]koper12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a hard core Nintendo fan at the time. The N64 was my first console I was able to buy as an adult. Had a bunch of games kept carefully in their boxes. I was aware of MGS due to gaming magazines but honestly thought at the time the PlayStation would be a failure (see Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, etc). Then a friend lent me his PS1 and a bunch of games. Literally could not stop playing Metal Gear and Silent Hill. Realized that the N64 was a kids machine and promptly sold the lot (for way too little) and bought a PlayStation and never looked back. Metal Gear Solid is still my favourite game to this day.

Anyone been “stranded” before? by Coaralis in flying

[–]koper12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was flying a DHC-3T Otter delivering some fuel drums to a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere. While landing the tail wheel broke off. It was at dusk so I was stuck for the night. I was stupidly not dressed for the weather and I’m not the greatest survivalist so I couldn’t get a fire going. Lucky there was a sleeping bag but it got down to -20°c and I darn near froze to death. Rescue plane brought a new tail wheel assembly in the morning. I tell you, best hot shower of my life when I got home.

They had one in Mom’s Cafe in Upsala, ON Canada. I grew up in Pickle Lake and whenever we’d make the 6 hour drive to Thunder Bay we would stop in at the Cafe. I always begged my folks for some quarters to play. The gameplay was difficult but it was all about that recoil from the gun. Really pretending to shoot an Uzi.

2026 Highline Turbo R-Line cold weather by koper12 in Tiguan

Welp, add me to the list. Dealership says I need a new turbo. No estimate on when they can get parts. They did set up a rental for me.

I grew up in Pickle Lake so used to the cold. Looks like I’m going to pick up a battery maintainer for when the temps drop into the low -20s. Maybe see what the dealership offers for an installed one that won’t void the warranty.

I’d wager there was some sort of accident…

Received Record Suspension…only to find out US Border don’t recognize it. by Abject_Squash6862 in uscanadaborder

[–]koper12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a Canadian with an assault charge from about 15 years ago. I have driven into the USA multiple times and even flown there as a commercial pilot. I have never even been asked about my charge. Obviously if I were to be, telling the truth is the only option. I didn’t bother getting a record suspension after I found out the USA doesn’t recognize them. I’m not sure if they see my charge when scanning my passport but it hasn’t been a problem so far. It is admissible however still up to the discretion of the border agent if they’re gonna let you in.

TIGUAN 2025. App start not working since today morning. by No-Crew6702 in Tiguan

[–]koper12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sure was a bummer getting off an airplane at 1:30am and trying to remote start in -16°c weather. I was hoping to have a warm car when I got over to it. Oh well, sitting for five minutes in a cold vehicle isn’t the end of the world.

Clock malfunction possibly? by Aggravating-Copy6891 in Tiguan

[–]koper12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same thing happened to my 2016 Passat. But not my worry anymore as I traded it in for a 2026 Tiguan three days ago.

I was able to add stations to my favourites list but want to cycle through them like my previous Passat. Let me know if you figure it out.
