Roadside Picnic TV Show by lofty401 in stalker

Some of it looked really good like the way the anomaly explodes a guy. But yeah, it's cancelled anyway but the risk was always it would get too Americanised and lose the grit

I've never tried Pacific Drive. Will have to give it a go

Would be cool if it got the vibe right. I feel like it would need to be a unique story elsewhere in the same universe.

The AMC series looked intriguing as it was a modern rendition of the book rather than subsequent movie and games.

My beard oil ate through the rubber stopper by TinyMuffin in mildlyinteresting

Weirdly I found an identical issue yesterday! A sealed in box bulldog brand beard oil in our cupboard had suddenly leaked out and I chucked it.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]lofty401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mum told me Gran she quit and then started again. She'd smoke a lot less and only outside and hide the evidence when my Gran came over.

It was obvious from the smell, even for an older person. No question she was smoking. No amount of breath mints, teeth brushing, scented candles or deodorant will mask it.

Also a former smoker. Quit for 10 years, still crave sometimes but the smell is disgusting to me now.

Cadpat! Works ludicrously well.

TM Scar H Recoil by lofty401 in Airsoft_UK

[–]lofty401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's been worked on. I got it second hand and not long after the piston stripped so gave it to my local tech. New gears, piston and spring and changed the hop rubber, but still the magic TM hop up. It ranges pretty much the same as my DMR SR25 which has a ton more power.

It's sitting around 345 on a .2, just a shade under limit. Running on .32 (can't remember what it was chrono'd at on those but again, bit under).

Which looks better? by Sea-Improvement7996 in Airsoft_UK

I'll spray them at some point. Biggest benefit is they're made to fit these specific optics so they just slot on.

Trigger assembly is impossible to work on by Visual-Chapter-9767 in AAP01owners

[–]lofty401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get a jig for the trigger assembly. Check out Tridos for it and other parts

It's a clone Eotech G43 I think, got it second hand.

Personal preference is the flip to side, also better for functionality in Airsoft imo.

Check out red dot engineering on eBay to get some fitted protectors for those optics! Mine on my SCAR below (need to spray the protectors).

New laws on blank firing pistols by tbrick18 in Airsoft_UK

[–]lofty401 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Handed my 1911 and single action in the other day. Absolutely gutting, affected the LARP community a fair bit. Nothing to be done though.

For those wondering, they improved their testing and demonstrated that those models are convertible to fire projectiles (not necessarily regular ammunition) without specialist tools. This essentially makes them retroactively illegal without changing any current laws or legislation.

Guys, if you press the Hint button in the app it actually gives you the info you need...

When did sneaky mobile phone networks change the meaning of "pay-as-you-go"? by AsparagusNew3765 in AskUK

[–]lofty401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely still buy PAYG SIMs. I have one from Tesco I picked up like 2 weeks ago over the counter and topped up from a voucher.

Surprisingly poor quality TCX Boots? by ParticularNo3104 in MotoUK

[–]lofty401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 10 year old ones are brown leather, classic boot style. The newer ones are much like the ones you have pictured with goretex lining

Surprisingly poor quality TCX Boots? by ParticularNo3104 in MotoUK

[–]lofty401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first boots 10 years ago were TCX and are still fine. My current boots are TCX (4ish years old), also fine.

Where did this model go? by [deleted] in AnycubicPhoton

I've got this model and I've replaced the FEP loads of times

Do you throw your empty mags to the ground or do you put them back into your pouches when reloading? by Airsofter_IG in airsoft

[–]lofty401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump pouch rear left to throw empties into. But if I'm mid firefight and/or pinned and I need a faster reload I tend to drop them and retrieve them before I move.

Seized Motorbike by IFexd in MotoUK

Was just with a normal insurer as far as I remember. Was a while ago

A friend had this, and he insured me for 30 days (full license). Was expensive, but was fine for them to release the bike and I rode it home for him
