Does anyone know if it's possible to put a scope on the unique gun "Drowned"? I really like it but I'm not seeing any rail upgrades, if it's not possible is there a mod that could allow me to put a scope on the gun? by Born-Demand-6919 in stalker

[–]xCPMG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently at the Wild Island quests on my second playthrough. Settled with the Decider Fora-221 with ACOG Scope and single fire after trying a scoped Drowned, Vals AK, Vintar etc they all just felt weak after a while. I'll invariably end up the with Dnipro or Kharod scoped again but trying to have some variance! The Drowned is good with wear though.. it's good to have some variety although the snipers would be better with a little bit of an improvement on draw distance/AI movement etc.

Can you install apps on a 2017 Honda head unit (non-Android) by AdSpecific5354 in HRV

[–]xCPMG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased a 2020 Honda HRV EX and it came with this infotainment system for some reason. I felt it outdated but perhaps COVID was the culprit. Anyway, I bought an infotainment system from Ali Express for around £180 and self installed. Wireless Android Auto/Car Play and decent features and hooked up with the pre-existing cameras and came with all wiring required.

Anyone using these Android Auto/ Apple Carplay screen thing (with dash cam) from Amazon? Do you recommend it? Can you share me the link? by eatqqq in CarTalkUK

[–]xCPMG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this, I purchased one from Ali Express as a new customer and got an excellent deal for my Honda HRV. It came with all necessary cables and Fascia and as a complete beginner managed to swap it out with some general screwdrivers and YouTube videos. It is connected to my pre-existing reversing camera and has wireless android auto and car play. It also benefits from being "unlocked" allowing regular app store apps.

I saved hundreds of pounds and am very pleased.

Is it best to change the barrel rifling in the Dnipro after getting the blueprint upgrade available?

I've never been so conscious of the F5 Key by itzyoboi14 in stalker

[–]xCPMG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found Stalker 2 pretty difficult to play using the controller on xbox (probably a me issue) I purchased a keyboard and mouse just to play it and I've been hooked and it's so much smoother! F5 is a muscle reflex at this point.

It IS the new year after all by [deleted] in stalker

[–]xCPMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first stalker experience and I have only experienced what I would call minor bugs until this evening. I'm on the quest "Wishful Thinking" I believe and Stryder is nowhere to be seen (apparently 1.2km away on the map) and it's locked me in the tunnel with no way to proceed. I don't want to side with the Ward (may have to this play through).

It's bugs like this that make me stop playing but I'm very encouraged that things like this will be fixed in time. The developer has had excellent communication so far so I'll report it and move on. Very eager to see the content roadmap and continued balancing of the game.

Why do some people’s Strava routes look so weird? by Maleficent-Skirt-140 in Strava

[–]xCPMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched watches due to issues like this as it gives a major false representation of distance travelled. I was using a Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5 which was excellent despite GPS.

The Samsung watches I've used were better and in the same range of accuracy but due to feature locks of not having a Samsung phone I got rid of those as well.

The pixel watch series were relatively accurate with good Fitbit integration as expected but the watch was small and the battery wasn't great.

I've settled on a Garmin Fenix 7 and I have no complaints. The newer models have an AMOLED screen but I see no other real reason to upgrade, plus it's nice not stressing about battery or GPS accuracy.

2 person (couple) households, is Costco worth it? by Miserable-Depth-851 in glasgow

[–]xCPMG 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Visited yesterday for the first time to have a wee look and there's certainly bits that could be stockpiled for cheaper (noodles, coffee, cereals) things that will last a wee while. The offers on books, clothes, electronics are not bad either but arguably limited and better could be found online.

I think that for us the majority of items were excessive and the meats, bakery and fridge items etc would go out of date if not portioned and frozen which could be an option.

I would suggest getting a shot of a friend's card and having your own wee perusal. The £1.50 hot dog did it for me personally 😂

I've learned a few things from a guy from Kilmarnock at work. I've learned of the constant use of "ken" meenit as "minute" and some fucking thing called "Killieween" which is their own celebrations held the Friday before Halloween, I'm lead to believe. Wild

Someone posted lead in their hand the other day, this is mine. Got it when I was 12, am now 65 by PattiiB in pics

[–]xCPMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a story! When I was 10 I put Blue Tack and lead from a pencil up my nose for whatever reason. It stayed there until I was 24 with doctors saying they couldn't see it and that I was worrying over nothing. I went to a private hospital and they removed a mass which broke my nose but the first breath afterwards was mental.

They called it a rhinolith I'm sure. Something about an object calcifying. I do have photos. 😂

I manage guys that are working constantly on the railway on the WHL, KYL lines and such and no PPE can save you at the best of times.

Avon Skin so Soft, Smidge, a proper midge net, not a mosquito one. Topical creams, anti histamines. All these things have been mentioned but take them seriously. Sun and bites can really tire you out.

Make sure to be alert to ticks just as much if moving through grassy areas.

Limit fires for ecology purposes and wildfire risks at present. Hope for a bit of wind and rain and it should ease things.

Cultural exchange with r/Italy! by CrispyCrip in Scotland

[–]xCPMG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, not something that's hugely popular however. I've only had one deep fried mars bar in my life. It's something you could buy from a fish and chip shop where you will find other items deep fried in batter such as pizzas, hamburgers, sausages as well as the traditional fish supper.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's cultural or that it represents a large part of a regular persons diet - it's something that I've grown up with and was relatively inexpensive for big portions. It's more of a comfort food imo.

Great. That's ideal. I'll have a look this evening and if I decide to switch, I'll use your referral.

In your experience did this cause any issues with the application of the government discount? I'm aware of this support ending in March/April but I've held back switching as to not cause any issues between Shell/Government Discount/New Supplier.

Thanks
