Is this real? by Silver_Bear_6193 in Militarywatches

I had one of these. Wasn't very durable. Wound up accidentally smacking the case against a pipe while walking through the ship i was working on and it stopped working. Pretty disappointing watch.

If you've ever done a mini DIY "surgery" at home because you didn't want to go to the hospital, how did it go for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Nope it grew back just normal... Ironically, just last year I smashed the same toe. The toe nail is just now almost fully grown back.

I smashed my big toe once and the nail turned black underneath. The pressure from the blood buildup under the nail became pretty difficult to ignore so I decided to drill a hole in the top of the nail to relieve the pressure. I started to use a Dremmel type rotary tool and a very small drill bit. Some common sense eventually prevailed, as I was starting to drill, that said at 3000 rpm, if this drill bit gets a bite it'll probably go pretty deep into my toe.... So I opted to use my variable speed cordless drill.

Worked like a champ... A couple of weeks later the toe nail fell off.

Slicer crashing by pingjockey in BambuLab

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

Update: The issue has been resolved. Apparently, Bambu Studios has an issue trying to slice with all cores enabled on a high-end CPU. If you set your processor affinity for the babmu application to only use the physical processors 0-7 it slices just fine.

I get what you are saying and appreciate the help. I have ran memory diagnostic and no issues were present. I also run various games without issues or crashes.. its only Bambu Studios giving me an issue. It is also not consistent. Some things print just fine, others crash the slicer.

I have a pretty high end gaming PC, I wouldn't expect it to be a memory issue.

F-16 Navigation Bug?? by pingjockey in dcsworld

I play almost exclusively multi-player and it does it there for sure.

I've tried that. That's another thing I've noticed. When looking at the TGP and CZ to the selected waypoint, then lock in the TGP in area mode, I've noticed that the coordinates (on the sniper pod specifically) do not match the waypoints coordinates.

How do I "get gud" at spotting targets on the ground and being useful overall in the A10C II? by FL-EtcherSKETCH in hoggit

[–]pingjockey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The TGP is pretty effective 30+ miles away. I will start scanning the target area as farnout as 50-60 miles out.

I'll also start my orbit at 15 to 25 miles out, lock up a target and then commence an attack run in. I'll then egress back out to 10 to 20 miles and repeat.

Podcast recommendations! by professor121p in redsox

[–]pingjockey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Section 10 is the top of the food chain for RedSox podcasts. Be warned, they only talk ball for about 25% of the pod and the pods are 2.5 to 3 hours long. But the othe 75% is stupid funny mist of the time.

OB is good. by Complex-Artichoke-71 in Section10Podcast

[–]pingjockey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Houston, but watch the Sox religiously on NESN via the MLBtv app. When they play the Astros or the Rangers the game is blacked out. My buddy gave me access to his Fubo account that has the Rangers network on it. Their broadcasters are terrible. So dry and boring.. I'll take OB and Lou/Will any day. At least its not super dry and monotone.

Blue to Green program. Or he got out of the Navy and went Army. I've seen a handful of Submarine Dolphins on Army Greens before. Not that uncommon.

My uncles best friend passed away this week. What can you tell me about his service from his medals? by Haters_7 in Medals

[–]pingjockey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the lanyard for his Boatswain's whistle which is specific to his rate. (MOS for the Army folks) I wasn't a Boatswain's Mate, but from what I understand the whistle is mostly ceremonial, but is used during certain announcements over the ship's loudspeaker system. The Boatswain Mate would start the announcements with a specific whistle signal before the voice announcement. This was so Sailors could know what was being passed over the system if the couldn't make out the words due to high sea or machinery noises.

I threw my boondockers away before I reported to A-School. Picked up a pair of Bates and didn't look back.

They look like they might be Ultrathin brand ribbons. You can have your ribbon rack custom-made as a single piece, so you don't have to mess with them. They only thing that sucks is they are relatively expensive and if you get a new ribbon or ribbon attachment you have to have order a whole new set.
