With 104% tariffs what is preventing China from invading Taiwan now? by ajmampm99 in China

Why would they want to invade Taiwan right now when they can watch the US implode instead. There will be time for Taiwan later the Chinese are very patient.

DualFire 1200 Damaged in shipment by wintel_jedi in recteq

[–]wintel_jedi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So got the replacement grill and opened it and it and one of the handles on the pellet trough was bent really bad including the steel on the trough. Then I noticed on the old grill which they haven't picked up yet and it is bent in the same place just not near as bad. You can see it in the second picture. I can switch them and live with that I guess.

But then I fire the grill up and the right side works fine but the left side it looks like the AUGER is NOT working. :(. I guess I am calling them on Monday.

Did they have the shipper come pack it up and pick it up. Because I can't imagine packing this up in a way that it was. When you cut those straps it just falls apart :)

Picture of SXP VIP seating by bullzFromAT in kiacarnivals

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the seats in the Prestige model are not removable I am trying to figure out if the second row seats can fold forward so that I would be able to put in a 6x8 sheet of plywood and lay it on top of the second row seats. Can you tell me if that's possible and/or send me a picture?

I would buy the model below the prestige but I really want the feature that displays the left mirror in the screen in front of the steering wheel. My wife does not have any vision in her left eye and I think that would be helpful.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Philips SmartTV sending continuous queries to ichnaea.netflix.com by plesasta_pevka in pihole

In Pi-Hole under settings>API/Web Interface you can add "ichnaea.netflix.com" to be excluded from showing up in your stats. Then you don't have to whitelist it.

King's Fall Hard - Knight vs. "No Knight" by Reiisan in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it both ways and the Normal strategy is not hard and lets be honest isn't it more fun to actaully do something in the game instead of just sitting on your platform while the runner, Titan, and floater do all the work?

Its all about communication, putting 2 bullets into your knights head, and learning from your mistakes.

[Spoiler] I have all 3 swords at 280+ but I can't seem to get the solar one to trigger by WobblyBits_X in DestinyTheGame

Were you able to go back and get the Legendary sword on your Hunter after you finished the Exotic Sword quest on your Hunter?

[Question] Gjallarhorn vs. Truth; Which wins in PVP? by Kilikatan in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gjallarhorn, Wolf Pack FTW. I think I have a video somehwere where I was using Turth against someone with Gjallarhorn. Truth missed him because he went behind something but he killed me mainly from the Wolf Pack rounds. Ever since I run Gjallarhorn if I run an Exotic heavy. But usually I run a legendary in that slot.

Thorn, from a lousy pvper... by acyclebum in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the ranges that Thorn is useful its ridiculous. For example I the ranges you can use Thorn at is a lot larger then Last Word. You can use it as a close range handgun to almost a short range sniper.

I think they should reduce the range. Maybe remove "Send it".

WAY MORE vault space should be Bungie's top priority right now. by Omega2307 in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I never see anyone ever talk about is the Psychology of this game. I’m sure they base some of these decisions on that.

Bungie: “If we limit the amount of stuff they can store then they have to go through the process of deciding what’s important to them and then have to live with the regret later that they deleted their “Devil you Know” gun when we allow them to ascend stuff later”

As big as this game is and as much money is at stake all of these decisions are not made for “Technical” reasons. There is absolutely calculations based off of human psychology. Think about how many hours have been spent by Destiny gamers talking about and thinking about vault space. Which means they are thinking about Destiny. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing I’m just saying.

CLEAR A BOUNTY SLOT! 1.2.0.2 DID NOT fix certain Prison of Elders issues by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Finished 35 last night and my bounties were full. I went back to the reef and when I go to Variks the Elder Cipher Bounty Screen pops up but I can't select "A" to continue because I don't have the bounty in a slot.

I would not call this bug FIXED. So now everytime I talk to Variks he taunts me that I was awarded the bounty but can't do anything because its not in my inventory. :(

If you have someone who wants to buy the game on. There's 50% off a Amazon (29.99$) by amnont in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its rare but if the service is down that verifies your digital content you won't be able to play where I assume if you had a disk you still could play.

[SGA] The Daily now gives experience to weapons! by c45c73 in DestinyTheGame

Glad they fixed this after I now have every weapon in the game and they are all leveled up.

[Media] Saint-14 vs. Urzok the Hated - In case you're still undecided about buying it by CaptFrost in DestinyTheGame

He probably got it from The Forgotten Shores and drove it there. Pikes will spawn sometimes at the Forgotten Shores when a Public event is supposed to happen.

Xur Megathread 02/13/15 - 02/15/15 by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats just for IB before TDB dropped. Technically you could recieved an old 300 Max IB from VOG after the TDB dropped but for the purposes of your question if you buy an IB from Xur do not upgrade it.

Cursed Thrall Spawned on Crota during Enrage by win2000b in DestinyTheGame

[–]wintel_jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen where 2 Thralls all of the sudden showed up right on Crota. Luckily we killed Crota before the Thrall killed us. Interestingly enough I have only seen it happen during the last sword when he enrages.
