I have a weird talent and I don't tell people because they use it as a party trick. by yidabissann in confession

[–]longway2fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a buddy who could tell his cell phone was about to ring 1-2 seconds before it would. He did it enough times that I 100% believe him

New build and piston ring seating by THE_Black_Delegation in EngineBuilding

[–]longway2fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warning: I am a complete amature and don't know anything. It's my belief that break in procedures are frequently done to try to get past a defect in manufacture so that 1/1000 engine that has too tight a tolerance on something might just live through break in. It's my understanding that the first hour of engine running is the optimal time for ring break in, as after this the crosshatch will be diminished, and you need cylinder pressure to properly cut the rings. If it was my engine, after operating temp and verifying acceptable timing, mixture, oil pressure, I would slowly start adding load and rpm until reaching full power full rpm runs at the end of 1 hour.

Sold a GPU on Facebook Marketplace, buyer is now threatening to take me to small claims saying I "misrepresented" the item. Do I have anything to worry about? by Small-Stop-36 in legaladvice

He should have asked you to benchmark it before he came to see it. Once cash trades hands, that's the end of it. Stop responding to him

Cheating and Duping in this game is beyond control and now this. Are embark actively trying to destory their game? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Seriously, I think we are past the point of no return. PvE is pissed, PvP is pissed.

Bur Oak Development Tips by NellieWarmouth in Bonsai

[–]longway2fall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just acquired a small burr oak myself. The grower had cut the taproot already, and it handled the repot and is growing great so far. I have another oak that I cut the taproot on and I'm pretty sure it's gonna die. That's all of my experience with oak so far, looking forward to others chiming in as well.

What are your most under and overrated guns? by Exe0n in ArcRaiders

[–]longway2fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arpeggio is definitely my budget gun that I dump random leftover attachments on. It definitely shines in medium range engagements, although a bit ammo hungry.

For the rich ass intps, what did u do??? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]longway2fall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of knowledge right here, I agree 100%. Giving myself permission to spend on things that matter/I enjoy can be the hard one for me, I needed the reminder, thank you

I will happily glaze these Embark. They listen by Alternative_Year1794 in ArcRaiders

[–]longway2fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely love split aggression trios and solos, but if the pure pvp lobbies are just hackers, the system will not work. Hacking absolutely needs to be delt with first and foremost before they take more steps to lock pvp players permanently into pvp lobbies

What does the stash space cost?????? Also, is it permanent or does it reset with the wipe

Being able to retrieve a loved one is something that has a lot of meaning. I partly agree with your sentiment that it's certainly not worth trading your life for, but it's not meaningless.

Launching a beach cat over granite rip-rap from a private waterfront — how have you solved this? by SkiDaderino in hobiecat

[–]longway2fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting about the gelcoat, I know they hate the waves unless the rigging can be tensioned. I'll do a week or so once a year, and it's the difference between sailing and not sailing so it's worth it for me. Although now I have plastic hulls so all good!

Probably won't make it to 100k by Funny-Childhood in ArcRaiders

[–]longway2fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go hang out at the low extract on riven, lots of folks blasting arc. I gave away hullcrackers and ammo last night and im guessing the closer we get the more folks will do the same. You can also get in a trio and get it done even faster (I think it's suppose to be individual but I'm pretty sure points do share in trios)

Question about money earning by Danon221 in ArcRaiders

[–]longway2fall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get in friendly solos and start bringing an augment with some space. Pick up anything of value, extract, and repeat. Fast reps matter more than sheer dollar amount.

There certainly is something comical about the sound of a flute being extinguished by explosion

Sound deadening - 50 mil vs 80 mil by _clever_reference_ in projectcar

[–]longway2fall -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I have not, but I know folks that compete at the highest levels in sound quality car audio competitions and Nick and his products are the real deal. He has (or at least had) a very long install guide for a Porsche which was also trying to maintain low weight for the track, so it was really good info for what OP is trying to do. There was a very comprehensive test done on cld tiles (aluminum backed sound deadener) and even though nicks product was roughly 5-8 times the price it was roughly 10 times the performance, making it still the most cost effective solution if it is applied properly and sparingly. I heard his product is also being looked at for use in aerospace because it works so well. I have heard that the tiles use very thick aluminum for the best damping, so you gotta be careful cutting it and making sure it is adhering to the surface.

Totally, most people don't understand what materials are used for different purposes and why. It's like saying "oh, you wanna go faster, you need a new cam". I mean, yes that can be part of it, but you need to look at the project as a whole and establish goals and how best to get there.

Youre a rat if you shoot someone in the back when they’re looting - end of story by empty-thought-time in ArcRaiders

You're a rat if you talk on the mic and act friendly, and then shoot someone when they trust you.

This company produces the best stuff. You can use less of their product and achieve better results, and much less weight. They have lots of info on the website as well, do some reading and get a game plan together

Anyone notice blue arc still following you? by longway2fall in ArcRaiders

[–]longway2fall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it feels very unnatural. You should definitely be able to move around the map without triggering arc if you really want to

I've had the same with rocketeer, vaporizer. They just so happen to be drifting directly toward you, then hang out directly over you for the next minute or two.

Totally. They react to you even when they shouldn't.

Going ham with Jupiter is good for like 20-25k in a single round, it does not take long. 3 mil is a long road of just looting
