[author0] Help! Xbox controller receiver(?) Malfunction? Hi, I've had my Xbox one for about 5 years. Recently I noticed the right joystick constantly drifts up on screen. Naturally, I assumed the controller and switched controllers. Same problem. Odd, but strangers things have happened so I switched to my third controller. SAME. PROBLEM. There's no way all three controllers broke on the same joystick on the same night. Could this be an issue with the receiver unit on the Xbox console itself?
Edit: I did a hard reset on the console with no luck. [author1] That's very unlikely. The receiver would likely stop functioning before sending erroneous motion data. [author0] Any idea what could be causing this? [author1] I don't know. It does seem strange that all three controllers are showing the same behaviour, but I don't think I've ever seen this in cases that weren't hardware related.

[author0] Jean Bart Overpowered and Just Plain Ridiculous I don't typically complain about a ship, but dang that Jean Bartt is just stupid. It strikes fear into everything and can control an entire flank on it's own. In a tier 6/7 game today, the red JB basically just decided to sprint the flank. This avoids all tactics or typical game strategy, and by all rights should result in utter catastrophe. There was no ship in Naval history that could do this and survive. I watched her take probably 200 rounds from the BB and 2 CAs there, ate 8+ torpedoes before she died, taking out 3 ships with her. Her shots more or less rip through his opponents, our shots bounced off, and she never has to turn broadside to get full salvos. She would turn the corner and rip a ship to 50% health, and unless you could vanish you were toast in another 25 seconds, if she didn't use her fucking reload on you which adds insult to injury when she can more or less kill anything if she decides to do so. To beat her you need at least two destroyers focused on her while she is looking at an Iowa, and even then her turn radius is awesome and she often slips half of them.
No shit she ate 4 torps from our destroyer, and 3 more from a CL, and still didn't die, on the way to our "trap", laughing all of the way because she knew that she could decimate regardless of her recklessness. I figured we had her, as we had her surrounded and several of us had broadside angles. We had a decent setup and it should have worked. She just ignored tactics, ignored damage, and blasted her way through the flank. By the time it was over the other team had a 2 ship lead and all of our cruisers were dead. I really don't understand how you can create a ship with this few weaknesses, when the rest of the ships have major issues to compensate for strengths. All in all this game is great, and the balance is largely there. However, the Jean Bart is just wrong. There are nights when I play tier 4-5 just because I don't want to deal with her. Unless you have more JBs on your team, and you see a few of them on the other side, you almost resign yourself to a loss.
I realize that if I were a truly superb player, and could heavily out captain her, then perhaps I could survive, but it seems wrong that your entire team has to have a perfect game to counter a JB captain that doesn't give a shit and just goes for the sprint and recklessly charges the flank.
Rant over. [author1] I'm sorry but this is fake news spread to further an agenda. No BB is taking 7 torpedo hits and not going down. Aside from this being inaccurate, this is exactly how people claim they want a JB to play. Maybe stop whining about ships and enjoy the game. JB is not overpowered. I can and do routinely sink JB one-on-one in Edinburgh all the time. In fact, throwing down with JB in my 30mm bow CL is one of my favorite things in the game. Embrace the challenge, adapt, overcome, conquer. [author2] I've honestly never had an issue with JBs before too, cause any time a JB comes near me when I'm playing a battleship I just bully it by disabling both of its cannons

[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/gb7j2y) [author0] I admit I was planning on going to one or two stores tomorrow (mainly Movie Trading Company since I have a disc I need to repair), of course maintaining social distancing, but I'm starting to reconsider. [author1] You need to be hitting up CD Warehouse for that disc repair, son. [author0] How much do they charge for disc repair? [author1] $1.49 I think [author0] That's much less than Movie Trading Company. I'll definitely consider it. Thanks!

Like many other animals with mouths and teeth, non-venomous snakes can use them to bite in self defense. These animals are referred to as 'not medically significant' or traditionally, 'harmless'. Bites from these snakes benefit from being washed and kept clean like any other skin damage, but aren't often cause for anything other than basic first aid treatment. Some snakes use venom from front or rear fangs as part of prey capture and defense. This venom is not always produced or administered by the snake in ways dangerous to human health, so many species are venomous in that they produce venom, but considered harmless to humans in most cases because the venom is of low potency, and/or otherwise administered through grooved rear teeth or simply oozed from ducts at the rear of the mouth. Species like Ringneck Snakes *Diadophis* are a good example of mildly venomous rear fanged dipsadine snakes that are traditionally considered harmless or not medically significant. Similarly, but without specialized rear fangs, gartersnakes *Thamnophis* ooze low pressure venom from the rear of their mouth that helps in prey handling, and are also [considered harmless](https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/theres-no-need-to-fear-that-garter-snake/). Even large species such as *Malayopython reticulatus* [rarely obtain a size large enough to endanger humans](https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/108/52/E1470.full.pdf) so are usually categorized as harmless.

According to BofA, equity allocation was at it's lowest level since 2009.
Could the bears care to explain how a market can be a bubble with that level of allocation? [author1] No shot there’s cash on the sidelines. We’re experiencing deflation then inflation [author2] He's right. There's more money market inflows than even after 9/11

[author0] USPS not knocking or ringing doorbells. [author0] Anyone else having this problem? I sell on EBay so I schedule pretty regular package pickups. Yesterday I had three packages. Two could have fit in my community mailbox but the third couldn’t so I just figured I’d keep them together. Mail carrier never showed. This morning I put the smaller ones in the box and left this note asking him to pick up the other. As the note says, I haven’t been leaving them outside lately because of thefts. It’s also because his delivery/pickup time is very inconsistent so they can be out there all day and early evening.
Anyway I couldn’t find anything official from USPS stating this new policy. While understandable, how was I supposed to know? Now I have a package that will be late to its customer. [author1] New policy = we dont want to die from Corona virus [author0] My only point was to let other people know. A notice from USPS would have been nice. If I hadn't reached out to my mail carrier I just would have continued making pickup requests that would have gone unfulfilled. [author0] Everyone's mad because they think I'm being insensitive, but no one has answered my question: how was I to know? To go to the post office myself if I don't need to isn't exactly limiting my exposure/the spread, is it? [author1] https://faq.usps.com/s/article/USPS-Coronavirus-Updates-for-Business-Customers the is one section regarding doorbells. But looks like you have a gang mailbox and not an individual mailbox on your house that's even more different. Plus some post masters have made changes that aren't nation wide. It's a challenging time.
You can always call instead of going to the post office to ask questions. [author0] I appreciate your polite response. Would you kindly point me towards where it mentions doorbells and knocking? I don’t see it.
https://about.usps.com/newsroom/statements/usps-statement-on-coronavirus.htm
Here is the USPS statement regarding Covid-19 and as of May 1 I don’t see anything directing customers to do anything differently. It does talk about delivery changes which is good. I looked up my state and other than a mention of one post office being closed for a few days there was nothing.
My annoyance stemmed from this change with no notification to customers who were continuing to try to use the service. Hopefully I’ve helped a few people avoid this same issue.

[author0] Venting about something good I guess you can call it a vent? It happened earlier today, I just have nobody who cares about it to talk to about it, so here I am.
My fiance and I are of course apart right now as of most of you guys here (thanks virus..). I was very close to getting the papers I needed to fly back to him and officialise our marriage. But with the world on lockdown everything is on hold for who knows how long. It's been very stressful on me. I'm an essential worker, as is he, so we both work. I deal with customer service at a very popular store here in the US and since we've cut down on returns and services we offer every day I have to deal with pissy customers and complaints that I can't help or fix. It's caused my morale to go extremely down. I'm wondering if I'm on the edge of depression sometimes between my situation and life.
Since animal crossing has come out though, it's helped. I've always been a AC fan. Because of my excitement to get the game, my fiance got it as well. And we've been visiting each other's islands almost daily and sharing guides with each other. He's helped me stay focused on other things besides the worries I have. He's called me more often, sent me more pictures of his adorable face more often, and has been so amazingly supportive for me. He's everything I could ever ask for and then some.
I guess I'm just venting about how appreciative I am of him. Of everything he tries to do for me to keep me happy. Even writing this puts me in tears (I'm a crybaby anyways, it's fine). I hope everyone out there in our same situation is taking the time to show love and affection the best you can to your SO, cause even if they don't show they're hurting, they probably are. They'll appreciate every extra second you give them.
My venting is over, thank you. [author1] This is beautiful. I've also taken extra care to be more forgiving in these trying times. Being more patient and understanding. More supportive. It's really helped me realize that the little things that used to annoy me arent worth the negative energy and secondary effects. I hope you two continue to strive and carry on through these trying times. [author0] Thank you! I've definitely appreciated every minute of time we have together even more than before, and I was already so appreciative of every second he gave me of his time.

[author0] Why Darth Maul and Yoda shouldn’t be in OT Supremacy Before I begin, let me clarify: I am grateful for the time and effort DICE has put into Star Wars Battlefront 2. However, that does not mean this game is free from criticism.
Despite his Star Wars Rebels appearance, Darth Maul never fought for any faction in the original trilogy, much less for the Empire. Not trying to be rude, but did DICE forget that entire Clone Wars episode where Palpatine declared Maul a “rival,” killed his brother, and electrocuted him until he was screaming like a child? Palpatine wanted nothing to do with him. Not to mention the inquisitors tried to kill Maul in Twilight of the Apprentice, obviously implying the Empire wants Maul dead. Just because Maul is on the dark side doesn’t mean he worked for the Empire, and just because he’s in the OT doesn’t mean he should be a hero in it.
Now, regarding Yoda.
He never left Dagobah in the Original Trilogy nor is Dagobah a playable map in the game. Why that’s a reason he shouldn’t be in OT Supremacy is self-explanatory.
“But we get more heroes.”
Then why bother having era locked heroes for Supremacy? It breaks immersion.
“He says while [insert hero] fights [insert hero from another era] on [insert planet].”
First things first, that comment is completely unoriginal, lame, and unfounded. I will cringe like hell if I see it anywhere.
Second, Galactic Assault has cross-era heroes because if it were era locked at Launch, the Prequel Trilogy would have had a grand total of one hero on each side. And now that each era has more than two heroes, there is no reason to have cross-era heroes.
“It’s just a game.”
That’s no excuse to break immersion. [author1] I agree 100%. I hate seeing Yoda and Maul running around in the OT but if they really REALLY had to have Maul here, they should've atleast had Obi Wan apart of it and had a Ben Kenobi skin. [author2] It would make more sense for Maul to fight on the rebels side than empire honestly [author1] That's what I was saying!

[author0] Help me upgrade!! I don’t have time to research. Stores are closed... I need advice. So I recently got a 2009 Nissan Rogue and the front right speaker was blown. I immediately thought just get two new front speakers but no, after ordering two Alpine SPE-6090 speakers on a whim and installing one and listening. I now realize I’m not gonna get that perfect sound I want without putting a couple hundred more into it.
My question is . How can I maximize these two alpine spe-6090’s for another couple hundred bucks. I’m trying to be a cheapskate. Is it a amp, new head unit, subwoofer, all 3? I’m just not well versed and with all the stores being closed I can’t go talk to some sales guy right now...
Thanks.
Also, how much more do I need to spend to have a superior sound system? [author1] Complete rebuild is what should happen with practically all oem stereo gear. For now...A good 2 channel amp is what you need. Add a second amp and sub later. Or get a 4 channel and a sub. [author0] Thank you . What amp and sub combo would go good with these alpine spe6090 in the front ? [author1] You could stick with Alpine. They make good amps and subs. You will need to find out if your factory radio will need to be dsp corrected or if a standard line output converter will work. Then you can use an amp with high (speaker) level inputs.

It’s only a matter of time before they get something done." [author1] Oh come the fuck on, this organization is like that one friend that just had sex for the first time and can’t move on from their ex, no other organization likes bringing back the band more than this one, it’s pathetic. JP truly has this FO by a leash and just doing what he can to milk them for all the money he can get. If no other organization is jumping to sign JP since he’s hit FA then that tells you all you need to know.
They need to learn to trust their young guys. Stop coddling Dillard, the guy isn’t going to suddenly get better by constantly standing on the sideline and twiddling his thumbs, you get experience by playing, Dillard is already 25 years old, are we gonna wait till he’s 26 to see the field?
If Dillard doesn’t pan out by the end of this year, Howie and this entire scouting department need to get booted. Between Barnett and Dillard not living up to expectations and this Hurts pick I’m going to fucking lose it if they bring back JP.
Let’s just bring back Shady while we’re at it, or Curry, or Jordan Matthews! [author2] Dillard gets hurt then you’re confident with Mailata out there? It’s depth. [author3] Yes? I’m not mad at depth but yes I’m good with Mailata.

[author0] NEED MORE SCARY MOVIES So I’ve always loved horror movies as a kid and to this day horror/thriller/psychological films are the only ones I watch. I’m in need of a good scare. I tend to learn towards foreign films (in my experience they’ve had more success in freaking me tf out). I’m open to suggestions but I might add that I’m sick and tired of A24 films. they’re so pretentious and for lack of a better word just not fucking scary (midDUMBER, The Witch, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, TKOASD). I also don’t like cheap jump scare slasher like films. I like movies that fuck you up and kind of stick with you forever (i’ll list examples): Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Ringu, Ju On, Occult (koji shiraishi), Dog Tooth, Henry: POASK, the list goes on but please help! :-) [author1] I Saw the Devil,

[author0] Sneak Peak Update! MAY 7. [author1] Still they keep bringing in stuff without optimising the game first. [author2] Optimize your phone [author3] Sure! You can provide the funds needed for everyone to get the optimal PUBG experience. [author2] That's like complaining that overwatch dev team needs to optimize their game because your Pentium I can't handle it. Stupid [author3] I have an S10, my friend has a oneplus 6. Another 2 have new iPhones. All of them have had the game hang mid match for no reason.
If that's what you call an "Optimized game", your point will be totally valid. [author2] It's not perfect, but it's not nearly as bad as people bitching around here make it out to be.
Yes, those freezes that came about 2 seasons ago are annoying. But that's it, that's the worst bug in the game. And it never happened to me mid game, only on spawn Island. [author4] Not nearly as bad? My game freezes on the OnePlus 7T for fuck's sake! That too when I'm in CQB situations! Why? [author2] Why mine doesn't? Do you think I downloaded some secret file from the devs?
Freezes are somehow related to the internet that's for sure. My friend moved to a different city, has worse internet, gets more freezes than before. Still rarely though and never in the middle of the game
Edit: and for fuck sake, even PubG PC freezers. Most games freeze every once in a while.
The problem with mobile gaming is that when something goes wrong on PC people first check their PC and their internet. Mobile gamers instantly go to bitch on reddit.
Check your shit first, yes, the game is not perfect. But if it's TERRIBLE than something is wrong with YOUR hardware. Devs can't fix that [author4] Yeah right, my internet on which I can smoothly play CSGO on 128 tick at 20/30 ms ping is faulty. Yeah right, my 4 month old OnePlus 7T, which runs all other apps and games smoothly is at fault.
No one's saying the game is perfect. All people are saying is fix it first **before** bringing these updates which will most increase these issues. [author2] So you tell me, why is my game ok? [author4] I have no idea. Which device do you use?

I could see other options like a Dilithium Refinement Flag (if you are able refine more Dilithium for that day) and maybe some other things as long as its it high value and brief. like Admiralty, Doff and RD assignments completed ad waiting conformation. [author1] I want a "basic" login screen that's just a list of names, it's a nightmare navigating the characters on console if you have more than one alt. [author2] Agreed. I'd love a basic list as you've suggested that also showed the amount of refined Dil and EC each toon had, but it might end up being slower than what we have, I haven't a clue about these things.

[author0] $1k pc for my brother >**What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.**
csgo, valorant, lol
>**What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?**
$1000 USD.
>**When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.**
asap
>**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)**
tower
>**Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?**
CA, US. no microcenter
>**If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.**
ducky keyboard & logitech mouse
>**Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?**
not immediately, maybe in the future
>**What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.**
i'm not sure what this means. can someone explain? i don't think ill be able to connect the pc to ethernet
>**Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?**
No.
>**Extra info or particulars:**
can someone explain what wired/wifi network connectivity means in terms of pc [author1] Here you go. The motherboard doesn't have wifi built in but for $40 you can buy a powerline adapter and still get a ryzen 3000 in a B450 with no BIOS update needed.
[https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zX6W7T](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zX6W7T) [author0] can you link me a powerline adaptor? [author1] [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWRUICG/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_image\_o01\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWRUICG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) [author0] so how do you use this once the pc is built [author1] Essentially. You plug one into your wall next to the router and then one into the wall next to your computer and it uses the powerline in your house to make a connection that should be better than WiFi. [author0] why is this necessary? can you not connect to wifi without one? [author1] If you don't have it you have to get a motherboard with Wifi or a wifi adapter for your pc. I use one of these in my house [author0] isn't a wifi adaptor cheaper? [author1] Maybe by $10 or so but this should provide a better connection. [author2] Consider that maybe his house has separated powerlines, for example we have a different circuit for every floor and my router is on 1st and I'm on 2nd, wouldn't work then

[author0] Help with chill, family Bachelorette/bridal shower First, I want to give my condolences to those having to cancel and replan.
I'm getting married February 2021 in a beach town. It's a small wedding, maybe 50-60 people. Mostly family. Honestly, we don't have many friends and don't go out or anything, but I would still like a bridal shower and bachelor/Bachelorette parties.
So, my thought is to have bride/groom mothers, my 3 sister in laws and myself have a fun time. Maybe get our nails done, but other than that idk. I still want to have some level of "party."
And same for the guys. Fathers and brothers and groom.
So, any ideas? Everyone is traveling from different places, so I think it would be best to do it near the wedding date when everyone is already together anyway. [author1] Whatever you think is a good time!
Some ideas:
* take a cooking glass
* visit a winery, brewery or distillery and take a tour or do a tasting
* do a wine and paint night
* stay in and bake cookies
* rent a private room to sing karaoke
* go trampoline jumping
* play laser tag
* race go-karts
* play paintball
* visit a shooting range
* go for a hike
* hire a guide for a walking tour
* have a BBQ on the beach
* do a full spa day with hot soaks, massages, facials, etc. or DIY at home
* play drinking games at home in your pajamas
* have a video game tournament
* play board games [author2] Maybe not trampoline park - would be unfortunate to get hurt right before the wedding :(

[author0] New Level in Dreams by me: The Aqueduct of the Western Gate All content made by me except music, sound fx, and puppet. I would appreciate it if any of you would check it out when you get a chance. It is a platformer, but take your time and look around as I spent a ton of time decorating around the level.
[https://indreams.me/dream/mnZUaLSNoTc](https://indreams.me/dream/mnZUaLSNoTc) [author1] hey man, this looks great! we’re gonna check it out live tonight around 9:30 PM EDT if you wanna stop in and watch or chat with us about it! http://www.twitch.tv/strawberrylemonadegames [author0] That would be great! Barely anyone has played it lol. I spent a month on it. [author1] that’s so crazy! it looks like you’ve put a lot of work into it! i can’t wait to play :) [author0] Thanks! Hope you like it. And don’t be afraid to be critical. Constructive criticism is always welcomed as it helps me improve. That’s what pushed me in Littlebigplanet. Make sure you take in all the scenery. [author1] yeah absolutely! that’s kind of our thing. we like to find creators willing to watch so we can chat with you guys about what you’ve made, how you made it, and be able to give you guys real time feedback while we play. as well as give you all the proper shout out so other dreamers know what’s worth checking out! [author0] I appreciate it greatly! [author1] of course, thanks for stopping in! that was fun! definitely let us know if you have any others! :) [author0] The only other thing I have made since full release is called The Honey Hive. I’ve been making levels since Littlebigplanet 1 but dreams is a whole other ball of wax and has taken me a while to get used to. I’m still having to learn a lot of new things and I have plenty left to learn. Had to drop from the stream because we are getting ready to watch tv with the kiddos. Thanks again and for the follow as well.

[author0] AITA for being upset about my friend saying a derogatory term For context: I am bisexual. I have a friend (who is a straight white male) who occasionally says “f*g.” He knows I’m bisexual. The word has never been used to be degrading towards me but I feel uncomfortable with him saying it especially to me. However, I am the type that doesn’t like direct confrontation, so whenever he would say it I would be like “that’s not nice” or roll my eyes, something like that. I would start up bringing my sexuality more so perhaps he could catch the hint.
Then yesterday he said it again and I came clean. I told him “I have tried to hint at it but please stop saying that, it makes me uncomfortable.” He then said “oh well I’ve said it before and you didn’t say anything you’re trying to create drama.” I told him it kind of is offensive and he said “it’s just a word.”
Am I overreacting? [author1] What's the colour of his skin go to do with this? [author0] I’m showcasing his privilege . [author1] LOL Please explain how his skin colour is giving him privilege in this topic? BTW if you gonna mention his, mention yours too. [author0] Sure bro. I am a white, bisexual, cisgender female. I mentioned his skin color because he fits the “white privilege” that many white men (heterosexual and cisgender) have. Meaning he is not a minority in any way, and should be respectful of me and my sexuality despite this. He has never once received any backlash for something he can not control like his sexuality or race. They often do not get punished for saying those things / joke around about those subjects. I am positive if a black person said f*g they would be reprimanded more (because I have seen it happen). That is why I mentioned it. 🤷🏻♀️

[author0] Trump Threatens to Sue China for Coronavirus Damages Like It’s an Ex-Wife Who Wrote a Tell-All Book About Him [author1] Can you even sue another country? [author2] Technically no because most countries would argue "sovereign immunity" IIRC
Meaning you can't drag a country into a court in one of the plaintiff country's own judicial system
But the US does have a loophole that depends on politics
Saudi Arabia for example was one of the exceptional cases being dragged into a US court over 9/11 [author3] Didn’t they specifically change the law so that they could sue SA? And then didn’t SA turn around and use that law against the US? [author2] The US has FSIA, which includes exception clauses like "commerical activity directly harming Americans" or "supports acts of terrorism against the US" etc.
But one of the key points is usually that a) has to be deliberate and directly harming Americans and b) commited on US soil.
On both points there is no stickler yet. Thats where politics comes into play: If the US designates some act as "deliberate" and then something like "face mask hording by the Chinese government harming Americans" there might be the loophole
But at that point, this would be a purely political witchhunt and bending the law
The right wing nutters do have a hard-on for it though
"I'll sue you" is often touted as one of the most common sentences in America

[author0] Questions/concerns about Loba's abilities So if the leaked abilities are true and Loba's ultimate is the **Black Market Boutique:** "Place a device that can steal all nearby loot", is it just me who thinks that Loba is going to be somewhat weak at launch, just as Revenant was?
Considering the time required for ultimate abilities to generate, it seems unlikely that many locations will be unlooted by the time she has even her first ultimate, let alone her second or third. The only thing that I can think is that it includes death boxes?
Also, the datamined info suggests that she may have two tactical abilities. That would be a huge change of tact given that all other legends only have one tactical.
**Burglar's Best Friend**: Throw a disc and teleport to that location.
(this ability might counterbalance her perceived weakness since it would be the strongest escape card of any character)
**Supply for Demand**: Hold %offhand1% to choose a type of loot. Reveal that type of loot in the area around you through walls.
I guess we'll have to see! [author1] I'm assuming that's just how they worded it and it will actually spawn Ult specific items, like lifelines ult. Her big advantage is gonna mobility. [author0] also, if Loba is actually able to open the compartments in the blue bins, that would just be an even bigger slap in the face for Lifeline.

[author0] Well, fuck. [author1] Well that sucks.
Chrome lined and phosphate finish? [author0] Chrome lined and phosphate finish, 1:12.
Because it's still correct and fuck 1:14.
Also, all Colts were 1:12, Only Armalites had 1:14 from what I researched. [author1] [Anything against these?](https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/barrel-parts/rifle-barrels/ar-15-20-a1-rifle-barrel-1-12-assembly-prod97904.aspx) [author0] I mean, the FSB won't be 'C' marked to show it's a proper original Colt FSB.
And it's not the original Delta ring or Barrel nut.
I'm trying to keep it as original as possible, which means reusing all the 1970's parts.
There's only 2 parts not original. The barrel, and the Lower, and I'm using a [Brownells M16A1 proper lower](https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/receivers/lower-receivers/ar-15-m16-a1-lower-receiver-prod107496.aspx) for it. Well, I guess 3 parts now that the Barrel is in 2 parts.
Hell, I even made sure the Gunsmith reused the original taper pins for the FSB to install it. [author1] Ah.
I got paid with a Colt 604 upper receiver one time for a barrel install. I didn’t know what I had at the time. I was getting ready to make a beater AR but found out what it was. Sold it for $220 to a clone builder. That’s as deep as I’ll ever get into clone builds 😂 [author0] Yea, everything on this is 'C' marked. The upper is pretty beat up, but that just adds character. Looks like it got dragged through the jungles of 'nam and had a rough life before it got stripped down and sent to me.
Oh, and I was incorrect before. I did replace 2 other parts. The Forward assist spring was so rusted to shit it was unsavable. I managed to save and reuse the original forward assist, but it also needed a new roll pin as well.

[author0] I made a small game to test the theory if humans can affect a computer RNG with their mind. Ok, I remember reading on the internet, there's studies that prove that humans can affect a computer RNG with their mind or faith.
So, I made a quick small jam videogame on rpg maker 2003 to test if this theory has any grounds.
On first test where I put no attention I could go to 20-30 levels.
On another test where I put more attention, I could go to 150 levels.
Another guy that tested the game could go to 250 levels.
Not sure what does this means, but a RNG shouldn't vary so much, at least on my opinion.
So I would love to see more people testing this game and see if they can get healing combos. Basically the game is about choosing between three randoms chests and there's 2 damage spells and there's 2 healing spells (-2, -1, +1, +2). You keep going until you die.
Hoping to see if users here can report if they can get healing combos when they focus.
Here's the link to download it.
[https://ca3studio.itch.io/psychic-dungeon](https://ca3studio.itch.io/psychic-dungeon)
You would need to get also the 2003 RTP (since is a rpg maker game and those files are needed for the game to properly render). [author1] I can't provide any link.
I heard awhile back about a study done with a robot chicken mom, and real baby chicks.
The robot mom was programmed to make a random path in the chicken house.
And I guess baby chicks bond with the first thing they see, which in this case was the robot chicken.
Eventually the robot chicken's random path slightly altered to where it spent more time near the baby chickens that bonded with it. [author2] What does this suggest? Anything to do with Simulation Theory? [author1] Thought. Energy flows to where our thoughts are.
In this case the baby chickens were fixated on "mom". This altered, the non intelligent robot mom's actions. The unseen energy in our world flowed to the robot chicken and changed it's actions.
It also suggests that this energy also has an intelligence to it.

[author0] Governor Whitmer issues new executive orders extending state of emergency until May 28 [author1] Expect Republicans to oppose this and sue while attempting to pass a law restricting the governor to 14-day maximums. The problem will be they (probably) won't be able to get to a veto-proof majority to pass the law, so the lawsuit will move forward. By the time the lawsuit is settled by the Michigan Supreme Court, we will be way past May 28, and the court is likely to do anything at that point.
Over the past 20 or so years especially, the executive branch at the federal and state levels have been taking things really far, as legislators don't want "controversial votes" on their record so they can get re-elected. The legislative branch has made this bed by granting powers over and over again to the executive branch, though, so here they are, lying in it. [author2] And they'll lose, and she'll veto their new law. The legal precedent is already there for emergency powers acts at a federal level. This will be no different.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson\_v.\_Massachusetts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts)
The Republicans wouldn't even bother to fight this if Rick Snyder or Bill Schuette (thank god that never happened) were doing it. Their problem is that a Democrat is doing it. I detect a hint of misogyny in there, as well. At the end of the day, she's well within her legal rights to do what she's doing. [author3] > I detect a hint of misogyny in there
Although I don't contest that, I don't think it's the driving force. The Republicans in MI are reacting to their constituents and their constituents are having their strings pulled by Trump's reelection campaign. [author4] If you believe that both they and their constituents aren't at least a little bit motivated by misogyny, I have several crumbling bridges to sell you. [author3] I don't contest that, which is why I wrote "I don't contest that" in my comment above.

[author0] How to withhold KC tax on the Missouri W-4? This is probably an easy question for those that have been around - but for me who just moved here last week and start my job next Monday?
Where do I deduct this from my taxes on my W-4, so I don't end up owing Kansas City $700 at the end of the year?
It looks like a simple W-4 that is missing the spot to do that... [author1] I work in KCK, but live in KCMO. Guess who has to pay MO taxes? My employers withhold for the state I work in, not the state I live in. Or it could be that I’m in a unique situation where I have to file taxes in four states for 2019. I’m not sure because I’m not a tax expert. But I get a refund from KS and owe MO (more than what I’ll get back from KS). [author2] You get credit for the taxes that you did pay in the other states, they just have different tax rates. I am confused as to where the 4 states is coming from. [author1] I lived in Oklahoma for one month of 2019 (but wasn’t working and didn’t earn any income). I then moved back to my home state for a period of four months, where I did work. Then I took a job in KC and moved. Work in KS, live in KCMO. Must file in OK because I lived there for one month (I’d lived there six years previously) even though I owe nothing, file in my home state where I DO owe taxes because I worked as a consultant there and taxes were not taken out since I was “self employed”, then KS and MO because that’s where I live and work now. Next year will hopefully be a lot more simple! [author2] Oh dear [author1] Lol. Never again! It was all just a very weird set of circumstances that led to that tax situation. Now I’m finally settling in here in KC after ten months and plan to make this “home” for years to come! [author3] Are you still a consultant? If it's a traveling role, then you'll likely still have multiple states to file in. I've had four, three, & three states the past few years. [author1] Nope, full time employee now. I still travel but now it’s for my employer. Good luck with tour traveling consultancy!!

[author0] Governor Whitmer issues new executive orders extending state of emergency until May 28 [author1] Can't wait to hear how she's a fascist. [author2] She unilaterally extended the order after telling the legislature to extend it and she will veto anything that abrogated her power. Why even ask the legislature then? Why did she ask the legislature to do it originally back in March if she could extend it anyway?
I don't mind executives having unilateral power for emergency situations as long as it is time limited and needs a legislative vote to extend, like the War Powers Act. This uniteral unlimited time shit has got to go and needs to see it's day in court. [author3] 1) She asked because that’s what you are supposed to do
2) She asked because she was giving people a chance to get right.
3) It’s been in court. They said it didn’t violate anything.
4) Having a state of emergency declared means that you can moreso ask the Federal Government for money [author2] You don't need to ask for an extension, it's not codified into Michigan law, where does it say that because you said it was supposed to happen?
"Giving people a chance to get right." In other words, vote in favor of my powere because I'll extend it anyway and if you vote in favor you'll do right by me.
What court case are you talking about where it let's her permanently extend the state of emergency unilaterally? Throw a link down.
A state of emergency doesn't mean a state can ask for federal money. Are you talking about the Stafford Act? The money gets activated when the governor declares a 'state of disaster' or when a governor requests it from the President which has already happened because a national emergency was declared. [author3] Supposed as in being politically polite. It’s not required, obviously, because she still did it.
And “get right” as in the right side for the health and safety of the population.
YOU are the one who keeps saying to permanently extend the state of emergency. You’re being ridiculous, it’s not being extended permanently, so my response won’t make sense to you. The stay at home order [does not violate](https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/495416-michigan-court-rules-governors-stay-at-home-order-does-not-violate) constitutional rights. You and the protesters are confusing the two.
And yes The Stanford Act. And yes, the funds will STOP being provided when a state of emergency is lifted. They will then go to OTHER states instead. You know, the other 40 or so that don’t have as much of a Coronavirus problem as Michigan.
In general, protesters are giant babies and wouldn’t know a TRUE reason to be angry with their government if it got up on national television and stated that “the authority” it has “is total”. [author2] Only morons keep pulling up that court case which isn't applicable with the new lawsuits. The problem is most people on this sub don't have independent thoughts. [author3] I believe that is the thing about which I am accusing you.
At any rate, I know I’m not a moron, otherwise I’d be wearing a red hat and protesting in Lansing. [author2] The previous lawsuit that was rejected by the Michigan Court of Claims has been granted a writ of certiorari for appeal to the next level, which is the Michigan Supreme Court due to the jurisdiction.
The new lawsuit being brought by members of the state legislature has nothing to do with the previous one. It is using entirely separate arguments with it's own new merits. I don't see how that could be any more clear.
But you're just a T\_D troll according to your post history so please keep it up. [author3] I wouldn’t be caught dead shilling for Trump in any way, shape, or form. And frankly, I don’t even know how you or anybody else could ever peruse my post history and realistically believe that I could.
I think the classic redirection is on your part.

[author0] Officially Unemployed Today I worked in industry for all my career, 2+ years. Since my industry has to due with travel, thousands of people were supposed to be furloughed with 2-3 weeks pay and then put on unpaid leave. Well I along with many employees in the company were laid off after 3 weeks ranging from customer service reps to accountants. I have a family of 4 and was the main source of income. My wife makes only half what I make.
For the past year I have been pursuing my CPA license and am more than half way there. I have been studying every day when I can but with Prometric being closed it makes it hard to have a good plan laid out. No one at my work had an active license and being the only one actually pursuing they never understood the time and effort it took to better myself as an accountant. Having worked under both good and bad supervisors, I believe management can either make or break you when it comes to promotions and performance.
This all must have happend for a reason. I will be receiving a couple weeks severance and weeks of vacation I had saved up. I had to sign to get the severance which basically said I waive any claims against any wrongful termination. My horrible state only has a $240 week unemployment and is a no double dipping state so I don't know how many weeks it would take to get unemployment even though today is my last day? I have reached out to recruiters and am currently looking. [author1] What state are you located in...FL or NC? I hope you find a new job soon. Apply to as many jobs as you can even if you feel over/under qualified at the moment. [author2] $240/week could also be AZ. Confirmed.

[author0] Government to provide $100,000 interest-free loans to businesses: "It has become clear that the support that is available to our small and medium businesses from banks is not meeting their needs nor our expectations as a Government" [author1] https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/government-boosts-cashflow-support-small-businesses
beehive release from Robertson and Nash
>“The scheme will provide $10,000 to every firm and in addition $1800 per equivalent full time employee. Loans will be interest free if they are paid back within a year. The interest rate will be 3% for a maximum term of five years. Repayments are not required for the first two years,” Grant Robertson said.
Not actually 100k and not actually interest-free either, great reporting nzherald [author2] From your own link: "The Minister of Finance and Minister of Revenue say the Small Business Cashflow Loan Scheme will provide assistance of up to $100,000 to firms employing 50 or fewer full time equivalent employees."
“The scheme will provide $10,000 to every firm and in addition $1800 per equivalent full time employee."
So for a business of 50 employees (the upper limit of eligibility), (50 x 1.8k) + 10k = $100k. [author1] exactly, it's a cap of 100k.
>97%
OF ENTERPRISES HAVE
FEWER THAN 20 EMPLOYEES
(499,944 ENTERPRISES)
Caps from MBIE sorry.
That means more than 97% of SMEs won't be able to borrow 100k or anywhere near
-edit: Even if there's 4 times the amount of shell companies that Treasury suspects, there's still 96% of valid SMEs with less than 20 employees. [author3] That stat is wildly misleading. 97% of enterprises have fewer than 20 employees because 69% of all enterprises have 0 employees - mostly because a lot of enterprises are holding companies, shell companies etc.
Edit: Poster goes on to troll and refuse to accept the existence of shell/holding companies unless someone can actually tell him the exact number there are.
Final edit: “You are the childish one here. You are the troll. You lose. You are a loser.” [author1] > mostly because a lot of enterprises are holding companies, shell companies etc.
any numbers? I'm finding 28% of all enterprises being individual proprietorships and partnerships but there's bound to be a number of LLCs with similar ownership structures. [author3] A little old but Stats NZ is where [I got it from](https://www.interest.co.nz/sites/default/files/SMEs%20in%20NZ.pdf)
> Ninety percent (421,823) of all enterprises employ five or fewer people, and 69 percent (323,935) of all enterprises have no paid employees. [author1] I agree with that figure, the part
>mostly because a lot of enterprises are holding companies, shell companies etc.
is what I'm wondering if you have any numbers for. [author3] > Nearly 144,000 New Zealanders work as self-employed contractors
From [here](https://www.stats.govt.nz/news/one-in-20-employed-new-zealanders-are-contractors)
So based on the above numbers I’d say the majority arent one person companies [author1] That doesn't really have a lot of bearing.
I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong but having no employees doesn't automatically make an enterprise a shell/holding company. There's no figures for how many shell/holding companies there are, at least not that I can find. Self-employed contractors with no employees are probably a small subset of all real companies with no employees and that's 5% already. [author3] Well it’s basically math:
320,000 companies with 0 employees - every self-employed person in the country = every company that doesn’t have anyone ‘employed’
Now those companies may have other purposes but under those circumstances I’d say they’re likely to be shell or holding companies. [author1] No, you're assuming self-employed people aren't employees of their own company. You're ignoring a huge number of small businesses where the owners aren't employees of the business and only work for profit. You're ignoring many family-owned businesses where there's a number of shareholders and nobody draws a wage. You have some misconception of what it means to be a company with zero employees.
Sure, there's going to be some holding companies there but given that it's been a focus of government intervention in the past, I think the number is relatively small when compared to valid companies with no employees. [author3] > You're ignoring a huge number of small businesses where the owners aren't employees of the business and only work for profit.
The stats NZ data includes this.
And given just one guy that got caught recently had 32 NZ shell companies I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this happens [author1] >The stats NZ data includes this.
Yes, in companies with no employees.
MBIE data also includes this in enterprises with zero employees.
You have no evidence for what you're saying, just a misunderstanding of what a company can be.
here, from your link
> An
employee count of zero is typically an indicator of enterprises with only a working-proprietor
who is not receiving a salary or wage. These enterprises might operate in areas such as asset
management, property investment, or where the labour input is provided by other businesses. [author3] My issue with the stat is that it’s misleading - it overstated the relative importance of small businesses as it ignores the 300,000+ businesses with 0 employees.
By counting the raw number of entities rather than say the percentage of total employees they employee then you mislead.
I’m perfectly aware of what a company can be used for mate, you seem to be a bit naive of its many uses. The sheer number of businesses that just hold an asset, shield ownership information or are just set up but nothing ever happens to them is massive. [author1] Still no evidence for your claims.
Neither stats NZ or mbie make any claim that the number of zero employee enterprises contains a large number of shell companies or holding companies. In fact the opposite, they both say typically owner operated. Your claim is fabricated, provide some proper evidence or stop talking rubbish. [author3] Okay, was happy to leave this but you seem to be getting pretty nasty so you probably deserve a response.
My original statement was that the stat about small businesses being 97% of companies in NZ is misleading - particularly when talking about a program to preserve employment.
As we discovered, 320,000 NZ companies have 0 employees.
Your argument seems to be that these are legitimate entities used for sole traders who only pay themselves in profit or entities which are used to disperse profits to families
My argument is that at least a fair chunk of these are shell companies, holding companies and basically companies that have been registered but actually don’t ‘do’ anything.
**So, let’s start with the obvious:**
> There is no way of finding out about shell companies or foreign owned trusts unless they earn an income that is taxable in New Zealand.
That’s [Transparency NZ](https://www.transparency.org.nz/shell-companies-have-no-place-in-new-zealand/) so the chances of us being able to name an exact number are low. However,
> there are estimated to be around 12,000 foreign trusts in New Zealand
So we can probably say that this isn’t exactly a non-starter, given other constructs are used pretty regularly
> The report notes that overseas criminals who seek to abuse New Zealand legal structures are a known money laundering threat, with difficulties in identifying the beneficial owners of NZ companies, charities and trusts.
> “Typically, a New Zealand entity, such as a company, limited partnership or trust, is used within a complex network of companies and trusts from other jurisdictions as a vehicle for money laundering without any transactions occurring in New Zealand," the report says.
That’s the[NZ Police Financial Intelligence Unit](https://www.interest.co.nz/sites/default/files/embedded_images/fiu-nra-2018.pdf) - so they seem to think that this is a thing too
> Shell companies are typically assetless firms that can provide a legitimate-looking front to an illegal operation, particularly because of New Zealand's good reputation and perceived lack of corruption. The ease with which these shells could be set up here means the country has been linked to money laundering and arms trafficking.
>The Government has not been idle in addressing the problem; it moved - albeit very slowly - to introduce legislation.
And the [New Zealand Government](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11398573) seems to think they’re a thing too
> Concern about the behaviour of NZ registered, but overseas operating companies ramped up after the activities of shell company SP Trading came to light in 2009.
Plus there’s been some pretty high profile [instances](https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2016/07/dodgy-new-zealand-companies-the-global-footprint-with-map.html)
As for holding companies which are NZ entities that can often just be ‘layers’ in between the actual operation and the eventual ultimate holding company. This again is common enough that the companies register asks you to submit the [ultimate holding company ](https://companies-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/help-centre/starting-a-company/ultimate-holding-companies/) - so again, probably not unheard of. Indeed it’s a pretty common component of corporate structure (I can provide you hundreds of links to information around how to set one up and use one if you’d like) and again artificially inflates that nominal ‘small business’ number.
So in sum: it’s likely that an awful lot of those entities aren’t actually ‘doing’ anything. Hence why those nominal numbers are misleading [author1] still no evidence.
stop talking bullshit and provide some real numbers for your claims. [author3] Lol, you read that comment and associated sources in under a minute ay?
Nice trolling mate, have a good day. [author1] You're impressed by my bullshit detector having a quick response time? No numbers, just guesses from entities with a vested interest, even they won't put numbers.
Come on, provide real evidence or shut up [author3] You think the NZ Police and NZ government have a vested interest?
Again: you’re trolling mate. [author1] Not trolling, I'm asking you to come up with some proper evidence to support your claim that zero employee businesses are mostly shell and/or holding companies. You haven't done this yet.
And you won't. Because you just made it up. And there is no evidence to prove your claim. Because it's made up [author3] Trolling mate. Because you didn’t actually read any response - you’ve refused to read any of the sources I put forward and are basically saying that unless someone can prove the exact number of something, then it doesn’t exist.
The police, the NZ government, transparency NZ and plenty of international orgs seem to think this is a thing. It’s only you who doesn’t believe it. [author1] Still no evidence. Fuck off with your made up claims [author3] Literally provided a range of sourced evidence.
Stop acting like a child [author1] Sorry, randomly linking the first Google results is not evidence. Editing your comments to call other people trolls is not evidence, just pleading to the crowd. You still have zero evidence for your claim and you are ignoring evidence counter to your claim because of your stubbornness and unwillingness to admit your own ignorance.
I remember you now though, You're the idiot who claimed to know what log graphs were when every comment showed you actually have no idea.
Lol, you really don't have any idea about anything. Still no evidence for your claim [author3] Yes and you’re the guy that likes to swear and get angry when things don’t go his way. Again, like a child.
Let me just say it clearly:
There is no possible way on earth to know the exact number of shell and holding companies in NZ
However, three key pieces of information point to them being a pretty big problem:
1) we have 320,000 no employee companies in NZ yet less than 150,000 people report themselves as self employed. So there are roughly 170,000 companies with no employees and who don’t have someone calling themselves ‘self-employed’ in them.
2) the police and NZ government have both made changes to track and limit shell companies
3) holding entities are an extremely common business structuring practice
Therefore it’s at the very least very likely that the raw number of small businesses in NZ is artificially inflated by companies that don’t ‘do’ anything.
Hence why the raw number is misleading. [author1] 1) You're still misunderstanding self-employed vs zero employees. The two things aren't related at all. Your idea that
>There’s 144,000 self employed people in NZ. That still leaves you 170k enterprises that have no employees and don’t have someone self employe
is specious reasoning at a kind assessment, total ignorance to be more realistic.
2) Neither will put a figure on the number, this doesn't speak to your claim that
>a lot of enterprises are holding companies, shell companies etc
which you just made up.
3) So you say. At odds with the information given by Stats NZ and MBIE. Do you know better than them? Please share your numbers.
The raw number is not misleading. Otherwise this would be stated in the literature. It's not. You made it up. Nowhere does it say that the number of zero employee enterprises is misleading due to the existence of shell and/or holding companies. You just made it up. [author3] 1) self employed is attempting to account for those organisations which are just a guy using the profit - hence why you have to use ‘reported’ self employment to separate out the number of 0 employee companies that actually are just a guy paying himself with profits
2)
> Earlier this year Fairfax Media's Mike Field reported that Kiwibank had closed the bank accounts of Auckland operation, but Vanuatu-registered, GT Group headed by accountant Geoffrey Taylor and sons Ian and Michael that had created around 2500 shell companies, including one for SP Trading.
>Power also says that the Reserve Bank believes about 1,000 shell companies incorporated in New Zealand over the past three years have been used to carry out banking activities free of regulatory oversight and "many" seem to be undertaking fraudulent activities.
That’s [just one’s](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10753176) for banking fraud in the 3 year period and those created by one guy.
3)
> So you say. At odds with the information given by Stats NZ and MBIE. Do you know better than them? Please share your numbers.
Stats NZ and MBIE don’t say anything about the number of shell companies. The NZ Police and Government do say that they’re a problem
Anyone who is naive of shell companies post-panama papers is just embarrassing themselves in arguing this stuff [author1] 1) are you really so stupid as to imagine all self-employed people don't have employees? That's fucking dumb and shows an absolute lack of basic knowledge about business.
2) Finally a number. 1000 companies is about one in 300. **That's not a lot**. It's directly opposing your claim that there is a lot. Even taking off 5 times that still leaves 96% of all companies being legit zero-employee companies. The statistic of 97% is not misleading at all.
3) They would both mention the problem if it was seen as a serious factor in the numbers. Instead they both say that owner-operator is the typical case.
You're still wrong and worse, you're still ignorant. [author3] > 2. Finally a number. 1000 companies is about one in 300. That's not a lot. It's directly opposing your claim that there is a lot.

See this is why I called you a troll.
1) that’s in 3 years and only for banking fraud
2) you ignored the number right next door to it of how many just one guy made
3) you ignored that it’s 1,000 in 3 years. The company register
4) they say “at least”
Utter troll. [author1] 1, 2, 3, 4
That's why I'm taking an estimate of 5000 off.
Make it 10000, far beyond anyone's estimate (except your own) and it still is 95% of all valid enterprises in NZ being below 20 employees. The statistic is not misleading at all.
You're only calling me a troll because you are so fucking stupid that you can't see the fucking truth when you're wrong. And you are wrong. So wrong. There hasn't been anyone so wrong since Donald Trump said coronavirus would be gone by easter - that's how wrong you are. Wrong WRONG **WRONG**.
or maybe you can teach me about graphs again? lol [author3] Cool. Good luck with growing up. [author1] And resorting to insults about maturity when you've been proven wrong throughout this conversation. Refusing to admit you're wrong when it's been proven to you 27 times. Calling other people trolls for refusing to believe your made up lies.
You are the childish one here. You are the troll. You lose. You are a loser. [author3] > You are the childish one here. You are the troll. You lose. You are a loser.
Actual, genuine lol. Do you talk like this in real life? I mean you’re one step away from ‘I know you are but what am I?’
Also - I called you a child in response to your profanity. [author1] Childish much?
Admit you're wrong about the statistic being misleading and I'll see you're mature about things. Otherwise, it's very clear who the child has been throughout this conversation.
Oh, hang on, you're a fucking idiot. It's you that's the child here. kiddie.

[author0] If only I could go back and grab them for these prices. [author1] Inflation, pal. That N64 would cost $149.99 today. I would have swore my dad paid more than 99.99 for my N64. Had the same one with the purple transparent remote. [author2] For sure. I guess this was towards the end of the N64 lifecycle for them to be selling it for under $100 with two controllers. [author3] Pokémon’s stadium released in 98, the GameCube release three years later in 01. So it still had a few years left but was on its way out. I can’t think of any major titles that got released towards the end of the N64s life cycle besides for Majoras Mask. [author4] Paper Mario and Conker's Bad Fur Day? [author3] I never played Conkers but I must have rented paper Mario from Blockbuster 2/3 weeks in a row just to beat it.

[author0] New 30# bow arrows landing to the right So after jumping in too quickly I bought a 50# recurve, while waiting for it to arrive I learned that move was dumb as hell. I ordered the same model again at 30#.
I’m only shooting at 10 yards because that’s what I have room for in my yard, and noticing that my shots are consistently landing about 6” right of where I’m trying to aim. I’m teaching myself based mostly on YouTube videos. Shooting 400 gold tips with 125 grain field tips. Trying to follow the form instructions but I’m really only one solid day of shooting in. Any ideas? [author1] Well 400's are most likely too stiff for a 30# bow unless you have some abnormal draw length. That having been said, a stiff arrow will land left of target and is exacerbated by distance, so that is not the issue.
In my experience these are all possible causes for left/right arrow flight:
&#x200B;
\-Plucking the string. Instead of a smooth relaxing on release, you could be pulling the string by actuating your wrist on your draw hand. This most often causes right handed flight for me.
\-Bow torque: upon release, you could be twisting your bow arm, like turning a door knob. If your bow arm is your left hand, pronating your arm will cause right handed arrow flight.
\-You could have your sighting eye on one side of your string. If you're right handed and your pupil is on the right side of the string and you're aiming with the arrow tip, you will shoot right.
Just keep practicing. you have been shooting for such a small amount of time it is hard to know what it is. Like anything, it will take a lot of practice and some fiddling to really know what you're doing. [author0] Thank you for the tips, I feel it’s most likely a form issue. I got to chatting with one of the archery guys at Cabelas while he was setting up a buddy’s compound bow and found out he prefers traditional archery. He said arrow tuning wasn’t really that important for traditional but I’m guess he just meant as a beginner I have bigger fish to fry regarding form and developing good habits. I know it will take time and dedication to learn, but this is how I want to learn. My friend just started archery too and went for compound. Spent a lot of money but now he has this hyper accurate sniper rifle with very little practice. It seems dissatisfying to me, but I’m realizing it’s kind of a different thing. Like comparing a muscle car to a ferrari or something.
I appreciate your time responding.

[author0] I'm about to make my first batch and have a few questions.... My silicone mold that I ordered said that it can hold 42 oz. The recipe I created is only for 16 oz. Do I have to fill the mold all the way to the top or can I still use it?
My second question is how many oils are too many? Does it not matter as long as there's sufficient lye to saponify them all? I ran my recipe through the calculator and it gave me the sufficient amount of lye I would need. Is that pretty reliable?
Also, if I wanted to use other liquids than water for my lye solution, how would I factor their weights in or measure them?
Also, do I HAVE to have a stick blender? Can I use a regular mixer or whisk really fast and hard instead? I'm trying to save a little money here. [author1] Okay, so your mold should be fine. It will just be shallowly filled and you'll need to bear that in mind when cutting your bars. Some molds are even meant to be shallowly filled and cut that way. It factors in later when you get into doing fancy designs in your soap. Watch some of Marie Tree Soapworks on YouTube to kinda get what I mean.
As to oils, it doesn't really matter how many you use as long as you have plugged them and their percentages into a soap calculator as different soaps have different SAP values (amount of lye it takes to turn oil into soap). But just starting out it's probably better to limit yourself to 3 or so. The common ones to start with are olive, coconut, palm, and lard. I typically use a blend of lard, olive, and coconut and then maybe add small amounts of other oils for various effects.
For non water liquids, like aloe, milk, or coffee, you use the same amount of liquid as you would water. This also includes things like fruit puree. Soaping 101 on YouTube has some videos on it for more info from a more experienced soaper than me, haha. Again though, just starting out I would keep it simple and stick with water. Often non water liquids can require a bit more technique to get to work. [author0] Okay then, I'll keep the mold I have then. My recipe only has a butter and three oils. I don't know if essential oils count or not but that's it. I've got a few other additives too but that's all. I should be fine then! Thanks for answering! And I will check them out as well, thank you! [author1] Essential oils don't count. But here's a handy calculator for usage rates of essential oils.
https://www.eocalc.com/enter-your-own-blend/ [author0] Okay, cool. There's so much math involved in this and it was overwhelming at first so I'm glad they don't count lol. Thanks for the link!

With the right attschments it is absolutely deadly. Or am I just trippin? [author1] It’s a worse 99 and 301 so why would you keep it if you’re running light? [author2] Agreed, useless once compared to the 99, only use alternator if you’re uncomfortable using the 99 due to its high risk high reward fire rate [author1] Just get in firing range and practice the 99, once you get the recoil you’ll always be searching for one!

[author0] [ALERT] Exposed FRA Propaganda Efforts Behind Anti-War Protests in Dixie #[BUSINESS INSIDER](https://www.businessinsider.com/public/assets/BI/US/logos/BI-logo-dark-opt.svg)
##FRA Propaganda Efforts Exposed as Source of Anti-war Protests in Mississippi, Mayors Expose Secessionist Plot
------------
[**Michelle Mark**](https://www.businessinsider.com/author/michelle-mark) `July 1, 2022, 1:21 PM`
+ Anti-war protests continue in major Mississippi cities
+ Huge Spike in “Southern Pride” and Anti-War Propaganda in Mississippi traced back to FRA Media Outlets
+ Various Mississippi Mayors come forward, denouncing FRA attempts to encourage secession from Dixie
> The Dixie intelligence community has announced that the massive surge in separatist propaganda detected in the state of Mississippi has been traced back to media outlets headquartered in the Federal Republic of America, stating there is “reasonable evidence that the FRA is attempting to encourage secessionist activity” in this state. The announcement follows a large number of anti-war protests which have emerged in major state population centers, as tensions escalate between members of the Gulf Pact and Texas. Mayors of cities affected by the widespread pacifist have come forward, alleging they were contacted by members of the FRA, who encouraged them to support “a split from Dixie, removing themselves from the aggressive and disconnected Gulf Pact.” These politicians have reaffirmed their loyalties to the Confederacy of Dixie States, denouncing the FRA as “a hateful warmonger that seeks to divide us during a time when solidarity is needed most.” Protests continue to grow in the state of Mississippi, though remain nonviolent, at least for the time being. [author1] We applaud the mayors' statements of the mayors and reaffirm that this is indeed a time when solidarity is needed most. The hateful and warmongering FRA has shown its true colors, and the people shall have justice. [author0] The Mississippi antiwar protest movement continues to grow. Barring any federal response at this time, the Mayors are asking for instructions from Florida on how to proceed.
