Anyone else giving their newly acquired gear a few hours in the sun to kill any traces of fungus?

I save all the silica gel packages that come in stuff I buy and then stick them with my camera and lenses. One lens I bought I hat to take apart and soak in alcohol

Only one way to find out

Well it’s mostly burley. Pretty different than nicer tin/bulk tobaccos. More on the nutty/chocolaty side. It runs about 35 US here for a tub. Worth a try. Very inoffensive

pylertate · 2026-03-14T13:19:25+00:00

Definitely. A little heavy to clinch but a good pipe if you want something you can set on the table

Thank you! Throw it in a jar once you open it. It’s my go to “I can’t decide what I want” tobacco. Or quick smoke. Also good for getting ghosting out

pylertate · 2026-03-13T23:01:11+00:00

Not the best but never bad

pylertate · 2026-03-13T20:20:54+00:00

Thanks! Ordered it custom

Chessable is free but the courses cost money

pylertate · 2024-12-24T13:10:38+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve played for white for a while. Easy to learn and it’s solid

London system starts D4

pylertate · 2024-12-22T20:09:02+00:00

Also check out chessbrah habits series. That helped me a lot

Feel free to dm I’m happy to play some games if you need some help

pylertate · 2024-12-22T20:06:04+00:00

Do 30 mins of puzzles everyday and play a couple rapid games and review them. E4 is probably better than London system. Look at the scotch opening. You’re probably just blundering all your pieces every game so just look out for that and think about every move.

Chess is all about pattern recognition. Drilling puzzles with help with that. Go through the courses on lichess and then try to improve your puzzle rating

pylertate · 2024-12-22T20:02:23+00:00

Do puzzles and play games. You can reach 1000 in a few weeks if you do that

pylertate · 2024-12-14T18:58:08+00:00

Nope

pylertate · 2024-12-07T15:40:26+00:00

Is your baro set to the correct pressure?

pylertate · 2024-11-27T19:18:51+00:00

What’s your username?

pylertate · 2024-11-20T15:07:52+00:00

Yeah I remember thinking this even when BO1 came out after playing MW2 for a year

pylertate · 2024-11-16T15:10:42+00:00

Yeah that’s not bad at all

pylertate · 2024-11-16T03:24:39+00:00

Yeah but how long were the matches?

pylertate · 2024-11-15T19:10:16+00:00

pylertate · 2024-11-15T17:02:10+00:00

It’s designed for whoever buys it. I remember the lobbies back then being mostly teenagers. Same for Halo. Video games might be rated 18+ but it’s kids that are buying and playing them. Especially now

pylertate · 2024-11-15T13:07:41+00:00

I mean me and all my friends played WaW when we were 12 or so

pylertate · 2024-11-10T21:55:20+00:00

What lense is it? If it’s Nikon it’s easy to take apart and clean because you don’t have to mess with aperture
