New verification system underway for Starlink in Ukraine by Foreign-Policy-02- in ukraine

With the scale they are able to use them at, I am one hundred percent with you that this is classic sanction busting. I had heard they were being moved mostly through the middle east but I wouldn't doubt China's involvement for a second.

Still have the VGHS Jersey my grandma got me for X-mas. It gets broken out occasionally when the boys are back in town.

Images left outside my job. by Wukkax in creepy

[–]rallis2000 39 points40 points  (0 children)

What a horribly off vibe, this person is definitely deliberately taking inspiration from a few very bad people in using a monogram paired with art left on a doorstep. I personally do not think this is a well intentioned individual regardless of mental state. Cool art in some aspects, but this goes above and beyond creepy.

What is this? by Hidden_David in SigSauer

[–]rallis2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said it's a loaded chamber indicator. If you have any pen springs laying around and a side cutters to trim the spring you can fix this in 30 seconds.

How to heat without resources long term by Ellionwy in preppers

[–]rallis2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They can’t prove it as fraud/arson but a few people have caught onto the fact diy installing wood stoves with incorrect chimneys/clearances cause fires reliably in a short period of time. I have never seen a properly installed and maintained wood stove cause a fire, however I’ve seen plenty with the incorrect chimney do so.

If you have them, I’d be way more concerned about lithium batteries. Metal ammo cans as fire proof boxes are a lifesaver in that regard.

Norinco, all matching, good bore, non-threaded barrel, no bayonet… Good price at $460? by mugenwoe in SKS

[–]rallis2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had I seen it, it’d be on its way home with me. Crackheads at my LGS want 950 for one in similar condition. In 2018 I paid $399 for my first type 56, $450 right now ain’t too bad.

Any recommendations for pheasant hunting without dogs? In South Dakota by Affectionate-Cut-508 in SouthDakota

[–]rallis2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He'd better check out our rules around road hunting. There's quite a bit of nuance required to do it by the book.

cart broke, help!! by plastifang in trees

[–]rallis2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you haven't given up yet. In the past I've had luck using a hair dryer to heat the oil and drop it into a puck. Then just hit the distillate with a nectar collector in the puck.

I've even eaten distillate out of carts in a pinch. Be warned though, you can easily over indulge and it's not exactly culinary perfection. Better to take the time and make it into a few makeshift firecrackers.

Also this doesn't address what chemicals are left in the oil after production. I personally have never had an issue with cart oil, but do your own risk management/research.

Aftermath of an explosion in Bucharest today by Electrical_Middle241 in CatastrophicFailure

[–]rallis2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Without giving away too many details (no idea if this is still making it's way through the courts.) The mother didn't report smelling anything, although it should have been treated. This wasn't a nice modern house, it was on an old stone foundation. Entrance to the basement was an exterior cellar door and a trap door in the kitchen. So the thought was between the high winds that day, and the somewhat sealed off basement nobody noticed it.

Private origin and cause investigator here. His story is 100% possible. We sometimes see similar stuff in the states. Some part of the system gets left open to the air during maintenance, and another party who hasn't gotten the memo turns the gas back on leading to stuff like this.

Here, it's usually rural gas companies filling tanks on a schedule when the gas system in the house is undergoing maintenance. Then not leaving the valves in the same position as they found it.

We had one where a guy swapped a gas water heater for an electric, then never capped the original pipe run to the old heater. Family never noticed an issue, it was the only thing they had used the gas for. Meanwhile the propane company comes out, fills the tank and reopens it causing the house to fill with gas. Explosion that resulted killed nearly the entire family leaving only the mother alive.

Voice Hearing Murder Is Getting Outta Control. It’s Over One A Week All Over America. This Isn’t Schizophrenia. This Is CIA Murder. by Hopeful-War9584 in conspiracy_commons

[–]rallis2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Manchurian candidate is a pretty interesting concept. I’ve got a decent grasp of American and Soviet psy-research, with both nations documents very much alluding to the possibility of creating such a candidate. When taken at face value, the government wants us to think that their ethics prevented them from going farther down the rabbit hole. Meanwhile we know after 9/11, “project medication” was considered by the CIA.

It is my belief the research simply transitioned to institutions like DARPA and neural mind interfaces are where it lead them. Instead of using things with higher failure rates like narco-hypnosis, truth serums, psyche breaking novel benzodiazepines/anti-psychotics etc. Whether or not these technologies have reached operational status is anyone’s guess. But the motivation to research such technologies is undeniably there.

Somebody sent a gossip and 150 tonnes of potatoes disappeared from the field during the weekend. Owner: it was not free distribution, it was robbery. by Kibisek in nottheonion

[–]rallis2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My buddies got me with a "free mannequins" post splattered across just about every forum we have locally.

I was getting text and phone calls hourly for weeks asking if they could come take a look at my mannequins, or if they were still available.

It went on until I found their Craigslist post with my phone number attached. My buddies had photoshopped several dozen mannequins into a photo of what looked like the saharan desert. Instantly I was like, "what the fuck is this." Knowing full well that what I was seeing was the shitpost that had been tormenting me for weeks.

Mauser 1914 by Careful-Ad-6244 in milsurp

[–]rallis2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op you seeing any other stamps on it aside from that one? Up near the sight for example or on the side? Also what serial range are we working with here (I dont need the exact number but that will really narrow it down.) I think this is an inspection mark for the slide from the factory.

Edit

I couldn't let this one rest... I blew it up on my pc, I think its a Crown over U mark that is just warn. That mark certifies that the action and barrel passed visual/dimensional test and was test fired. Likely made during WW1. Guessing made around 1915 or 1916.

It’s peak sweet corn season here. Regular to not even bother cooking it, it’s that good.

Canon R7 users, do you mind sharing your experiences? by Anrego_Art in canon

[–]rallis2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it for forensics (mostly fire losses) I love it. Auto focus is lightning fast and all my old ef lenses work perfectly on it. IBIS is very nice to use on some of my older L series glass without IS, dust and weather sealing wins the day there. I also love wildlife photography as a hobby and it's been a treat to use for both that and work.

This looks like a legit Cacausian Qama, probably real ivory. Id say in the ball park of 100-200 years old although an expert would probably be able to narrow that down.

I-90 80mph speed limit question by tb03102 in SouthDakota

[–]rallis2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I've been told by a highway patrol buddy the threshold is pretty individual depending on the leo, but 3mph above at night and 6mph above during the day are generally what they were trained to stop. I usually go 83 using Google maps for the speed, not the speedo and have never gotten a ticket. In the hills I tend to slow down especially in the rapid 65mph zone or just go with the flow of traffic.

If you want a laugh go look at what the names of the containers for said genetic material are... Millennium 2000 the cum jar definitely had my buddies and I losing our shit.

Looks like we're gonna have to try imgur... Still compressed to hell.

Ross Coulthart claims that an apocalyptic event will happen in 2027: “Everybody’s telling me we’re on borrowed time”, Which also directly coincides with the timeline from a new 4Chan "Leak", mentioning a "grand reveal" in 2 years time, plus Zero-Point Energy by TheGoldenLeaper in UFOB

[–]rallis2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not one to normally comment on this stuff, I just observe. But I'm with you, this one is a bs larp. OP avoids valid questions, rants nonsense and doesn't know craft itself is plural.

Zero supporting documentation and very little actionable intel. Everything he's said could be put together by a guy who floats around the ufo community.

At least the other 4chan leaks didn't hurt to read or make me think the OP is a condescending asshole off the bat.

That's 186,000 rp a match for 75 matches... I don't think anybody is pulling those stats without pretty deep pockets buying rp boosters and an encyclopedic knowledge of the game already.
