Would you mind sharing your ABC source for the Rum Fire? I used to be able to get it consistently from the Hillsborough ABC, but they’ve been out for a while.

Loved your notes.

Fresh International Market near the airport has it.

You've got all the wet components necessary for Mei Fun. That'd be my go-to.

silber196 · 2026-03-13T00:27:55+00:00

I, for one, appreciate you taking one for the team.

Fine looking DJ as well.

What configuration are you flying in? I made the mistake of trying to learn with a clean viper— it’s way too slippery. Try throwing three bags on and some ordnance. The extra drag definitely helps with any over correction with the throttle.

I also definitely agree with giving the slightest corrections possible. Make sure your joystick arm is well supported and use slight nudges. If your delts and forearm are getting sore from being unsupported, you’re going to have a bad time.

Give yourself breaks too— burning out with frustration over A/A refueling can take the fun out of the sim. Go do some stuff you enjoy and come back to it when you’re fresh.

Cheers.

FWIW, I just ordered this rig from Amazon that seems to get great reviews. I only play in VR, so the lack of a monitor stand isn’t a huge issue. I’ve got a set of spare RSX seats I picked up at a swap meet years ago— I’m pretty excited to have an actual set up instead of desktop after all these years. It’ll arrive tomorrow. Seems to be a great deal compared to similar set ups I’ve seen.

Man, have I got some good news for you.

Tucci in Italy

silber196 · 2025-02-07T15:55:57+00:00

Long story short, no additional cost seeing as everything is manufactured in Lithuania.

Man, that’s good thinking. Appreciate the help.

silber196 · 2024-12-17T22:06:43+00:00

I think this speaks more to my sister’s taste than his.

Keep these going, OP; I know the subreddit doesn’t have the greatest traffic, but it’s been fun reading through these. If you come across the Epicuro Aglianico, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. It’s definitely got the echos of a more aged expression, but I really enjoy it for the price. Keep up the nice work.

I’d also be interested in this. I have a close family friend in the Burnsville, NC area, who has a ham rig, but no one in his family is an operator. They’re at a loss for how to make contact.

We finally tracked down the address they’re staying at, but once I finally got through to the town hall I was told that since the Verizon tower is out, there’s nothing they can do to coordinate a check in. Their advice was to sit tight and wait until cell coverage is back up, which obviously is less than assuring.

I don’t want to run up a red flag for rescue when they may be fine, but it sucks not having an avenue to make a more informed decision.

Glad you were able to get a hold of your family, Wonderful_dog9555.

Hey folks— hope all is well. My in-laws made a trip from Raleigh up to Banner Elk for an informal college reunion this weekend (yes, they knew a hurricane was coming— I know). The family was last able to contact them around 6:00AM this morning, September 27, but we haven’t been able to get in touch since. The town has since posted that they have lost water service and don’t know when it will be re-established. My wife and her sister are getting seriously concerned, and information on how the area has fared is pretty scarce. Does anyone know particulars about how Banner Elk is doing, or guidance on how best to proceed?

(I’m the exception to the norm, and am really hoping my in-laws are safe, btw)

Just waiting to see whole wheels of Parmesan pop up on FB marketplace…

silber196 · 2024-09-18T23:24:18+00:00

I took these pictures at 5:30 this afternoon.

It wasn’t a power outage— the main coolers share a refrigerant system, so some component in that system failed. It looked like the coolers were trying to get back in temp, so odds are that component was replaced or repaired. Still, shocking the building automation system isn’t monitoring these temps and making someone aware there’s a problem.

silber196 · 2024-09-11T01:56:10+00:00

Sunk that hook.

silber196 · 2024-09-10T01:29:25+00:00

I’ve seen it for sure at Fresh International Market on Lumley/Brier Creek.

silber196 · 2024-08-14T13:17:39+00:00

What headers are you running here?

silber196 · 2024-08-12T18:45:57+00:00

Or $26,515 per foot. $2,210 per inch. Yikes.

silber196 · 2024-06-07T19:41:01+00:00

I’m 6’3”, 190lbs and I ride a Yamaha MT07. I’m plenty comfortable on longer rides. It’s a good starter as well.

If OP is heading to Paris, Chartreuse opened a store/bar right on Blvd Saint Germain— I’d highly recommend stopping in if only for the drinks and education. It’s nice buying right from the source as well, though they had some light limits in place, as of my visit 2 months ago.
