2024.05.21 14:03 Acerola_ Brown BFT heart rate monitor?
*Broken. Damn autocorrect.
I’m having some issues with my heart rate monitor and wondering what others mileage has been?
It’s less than a year old and I make sure to disconnect and wipe it down after every workout.
Lately I’ve been having issues where the heart rate it’s picking up is far far below what it should be. Eg running as hard as I can for ten minutes and heart rate is still in the grey zone (warmup). Tried wetting it, not wetting it, tightening strap, full charge, changing placement etc, but no luck for over a week. Heart rate on my Garmin watch is very different to what it’s saying.
Gonna try buying a replacement band (just the elastic bit) to see if that solves the issue, but has anyone experienced this? Is there some type of warranty and has anyone successfully had it replaced with their gym?

2024.05.21 14:02 apadeva Nui Cobalt Designs: Bees & Nui's Favourite Things 2024 (Review) - Art Deco, Honeycomb Conjecture, Parisian Apiary
A rather short review as I just got three scents from this year's bees. If you want more bees: here's my review from 2023 and the one from 2022. [Also, repost because I forgot a scent.]
"Black lilac, sandalwood, cassis, and liatrix, with a subtle glimmer of lemon verbena."
Such a strange scent on my skin. It's very green with a noticeable lilac note at first before it does a 180° change and becomes a spicy-black as if it's black amber with a floral note. I like the drydown and couldn't stop sniffing my wrist because it's very warm and slightly masculine (in a good way) but I could do with the spicy-black phase. 2/5
Honeycomb Conjecture
"Crystallized honey, sturdy oak, cedarwood, granite, ebony, and roasted roots."
When I sniff at the vial, I can smell coffee and honey, which made it very excited for the scent because it smelled good! Unfortunately, it goes haywire on my skin and becomes very green-woodsy with an amber note at first before changing into something earthy/smokey, which smells very dark and strong. I had to scrub it because it gave me a headache and nausea. 1/5
I have tried the scent on my mother as well and it becomes a green-woodsy with a smoke note scent on her. She isn't a fan either but it was more wearable on her.
Parisian Apiary
"Cherry blossom, silver linden, white pear, and cafe au lait sweetened with French honey."
A floral honey scent with the tiniest bit of coffee. It is very smooth and creamy but also very office-friendly as it isn't an overwhelming scent that could be easily a niche perfume. 4/5

Rating scale:Art Deco
1 = 100% scrubber, 100% destash (Scrubbing either because I hate it or I get an allergic reaction.)
2 = 100% destash as I don't like it and won't see myself reaching for it in the future.
3 = It's ok. No love, no hate. I wouldn't mind getting it as a gift but I wouldn't buy a FS on my own.
4 = I like it a lot. I can imagine buying a FS in the future.
5 = 100% love. Always full size, always back up.

2024.05.21 13:51 jinkxymonsoon Rentnow Leasing experience
⚠️ Lengthy post incoming ⚠️
Last week I rented a car from rentnow leasing after passing my TP. I don’t see a lot of review/experience for this rental company so I thought I’d share mine here.
I actually first heard about them from carousell and after reading a lot of reviews, I decided to message them on carousell. One of their agent(?) Andy, told me to contact him on WhatsApp.
Andy’s replies were fast even when it’s late at night. Asked him a few things like what are their rates, how much is the deposit.
I was actually supposed to rent a Mazda 3 but since I’m renting for a day, I wanted to collect the car as early as possible. Andy told me Mazda 3 return time is a bit late, so he suggested Honda Fit instead for the same price.
I also told him I prefer not to make a deposit and he said they have cars that don’t require deposit so that’s a plus for me.
Breakdown of the price:
Rental duration: 1 day (24 hr)
Price (no deposit required): $85
CDW (excess $1500): $5
Total: $90
Collection of the car:
One day before the collection date, Andy whatsapped me the time that I can collect the car. I went to their office at 11am and waited for their staff to print the contract(?) for me.
The contract stated that I should take pictures (front,back,corners) of the car before I drive. And things like if I damage the tyres or have to call for tow service are under my own expense. (I’m sure those who rented cars will know these basic things?)
They will give a cashcard with zero value to exit the building. After exiting the building, I had to park the car by the roadside and return the cashcard to them before I leave so the next customer can use it. This is a slight downside for me but I’m just purely lazy lol.
About the car:
On first look, the car was of course not perfect, so I made sure to take close pictures of the areas that were already scratched to make sure I protect myself.
I think they also provide P-Plates if you don’t have one. They asked if I have my own and I told them I did.
The car felt alright, the brakes, headlights, wipers are all in good condition. There’s also a camera for when you reverse.
I could tell they sanitized the car before i collected it as the smell was very strong. My shirt even got the smell LOL. The car smelled nice too, they hung a car freshener on the mirror.
However, since I don’t know much about cars, my dad mentioned the car alignment is off. When the wheels are straight, the steering wheel is not. So that threw me off a bit bc I couldn’t practice my parking well since my parking is already bad. 😭
Returning the car:
Returning the car was also smooth. Andy was very friendly when he came out to collect the car as soon as we arrived (We didn’t meet him when we collected because he wasn’t there). He walked around the car to make sure there weren’t any dents or damage to the car.
We handed him the key and we’re off.
Overall, I would rent from them again and I also recommend to p-platers who are looking to rent a car to practice their driving or parking without having to put a deposit! The car exceeded my expectations as I thought no deposits will get me a car that’s not in a super good condition lol!
Ps: any tips on reverse parking is HIGHLY appreciated! I could not for the love of god park properly even after a good 6 hours of practice. Every time we had to park at a mall or coffee shop, my dad had to take over and park for me 🥲🥲🥲

2024.05.21 13:43 White_Ring Best air purifier to buy
Hello everyone, I am an active Redditor and I see a lot Redditors are looking to get an air purifier. But with so many options out there it's difficult to find one that cleans your air well. So, to make it easy for them to decide I am making a list of some good options to look at. I'm a guy who is reviewing different products from past 5 years. I do extensive research and also read reviews by customers and experts.
To make this list of best air purifiers I looked at their CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate), it is a measure of the rate at which these air purifiers can filter the air in a measured space, with separate readings across dust, smoke and pollen.
So, whether you’re looking for a compact design, large room coverage, energy efficiency or smart features, I have got an air purifier that’s right for your needs.
To me, it looks like a futuristic robot, which has a quality appearance compared to the competition. There are three fan speeds on offer as well as an auto function, plus a night mode is included for dimming the lights.
Reasons to buy:
It has an auto mode included, so it will self-adjust the fan speed depending on the conditions of the room, and it comes with an eco mode which lets it power off when not required.
For me, it's appearance is more in keeping with a hotel or office versus a modern home, but it's performance is worth considering.
Reasons to buy:
Plus, it’s still a strong performer, achieving a decent CADR across the board and featuring a design which is very accessible. And if you love unusual tech, the “Plasmawave” technology is sure to raise a few eyebrows. It suits rooms up to 360 sqft.

So, whether you’re looking for a compact design, large room coverage, energy efficiency or smart features, I have got an air purifier that’s right for your needs.
- Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto (best overall)
- Coway Airmega AP-1512HH (best & energy efficient)
- Winix 5500-2 (best for small room)
- Clorox Large Room True HEPA (best value)
- Honeywell HPA 300 (best for large rooms)
Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto - $280
The Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto tops the list. This air purifier will suit rooms up to 550 sq ft. It features an upright cuboid design, with a plastic upper section and a skirt fitted around the base, which acts as a pre-filter and comes in several colors. A HEPASilent filter is included, which uses both a carbon and particle layer.To me, it looks like a futuristic robot, which has a quality appearance compared to the competition. There are three fan speeds on offer as well as an auto function, plus a night mode is included for dimming the lights.
Reasons to buy:
- If you want a strong air purifier
- It comes with enough features to suit everyday operation, including three fan speeds, an auto mode and a night mode.
- The skirt on the lower half of this air purifier comes in several colors, including pink, blue, green and gray, so you can customize it to suit your décor or personality.
- It weighs 12.5 pounds and measures 20 x 13 x 13 inches (H x W x D)
- The night mood is good but not excellent
Coway Airmega AP-1512HH
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH is smaller in size than Blueair Blue Pure 211+, measuring 16.8 x 18.3 x 9.6 inches (H x W x D). Don’t mistake this for meaning it’s more portable though, as it still weighs 12.3 pounds. This air purifier isn’t easy to lug around despite the included handle. While compact, it will suit rooms of up to 384 sq ft.It has an auto mode included, so it will self-adjust the fan speed depending on the conditions of the room, and it comes with an eco mode which lets it power off when not required.
For me, it's appearance is more in keeping with a hotel or office versus a modern home, but it's performance is worth considering.
Reasons to buy:
- The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH has the best energy score
- Takes less space
- While it’s a compact design, it’s not lacking in settings
- A little hard to move around
- Expensive replacement filters ($40)
Winix 5500-2
The Winix 5500-2 likely won’t win any beauty contests with its appearance, measuring 23.6 x 15 x 8.2 inches with a black plain casing and vents scored across its front. But, in my opinion, it's more likely to blend in with your décor than drawer the eye, which is no bad thing.Plus, it’s still a strong performer, achieving a decent CADR across the board and featuring a design which is very accessible. And if you love unusual tech, the “Plasmawave” technology is sure to raise a few eyebrows. It suits rooms up to 360 sqft.
Reasons to buy:
- Unique technology
- Air quality indicator
- Remote control included
- Expensive filters
- Large and plain design
Clorox Large Room True HEPA
The Clorox Large Room True HEPA Air Purifier offers a small and effective design, measuring 19 x 10 x 10 inches while suiting rooms up to 320 sq ft. It has a neat and pleasing appearance — looking somewhat like a large battery with a fitted pre-filter skirt and a single button on top.Reasons to buy:
- This air purifier features a compact design which is ideal for smaller spaces.
- Priced at $149, this air purifier offers excellent value for money.
- it’s likely unsuitable for larger bedrooms or living rooms
- It does not come with a remote control or smart home connectivity
Honeywell HPA300
The Honeywell HPA300 is a bulky beast of a device that offers strong performance considering its reasonable price. It’s a large oval air purifier with slats all around, measuring 22.3 x 20.0 x 10.8 inches. It’s pretty heavy at 17 pounds.Reasons to buy:
- It will cover rooms of up to 465 sq ft, which is pretty sizable
- Cheap replacement filters
- The touch-based control panel on top of this air purifier is very easy to use.
- It lacks an auto mode, which means it will stick to whatever fan speed you set
- It consumes a lot of energy, using 1.002 kWh over 24 hours on the standard setting
- This air purifier is quite a noisy operator
2024.05.21 13:35 raresanevoice Eth is in the green and approaching ATH; ETFs are coming in the USA. Great time to remember, what does 'Have A Plan Look Like'
What Does 'Have a Plan' look like?
We hear it often enough in the sub. "Have a plan" or "DCA" or even "DYOR" but what does that look like. For me, this is what, 'have a plan' looks like. Feel free to add any extra wisdom or lessons learned as well.
1- First step was the DYOR phase or determine what project to invest in. For fairly safe and sure price growth, Eth and BTC are two good bets. They're essentially the 'blue chips' of the crypto space and if you get confused or overwhelmed by all of the projects and the terminology, they're a good starting point. White papers are a great read though they can be technically daunting. Development plans or cycles help as well, like the bitcoin halving cycle / calendar or Eth development plan.
2- Second step is determine how much you can afford to invest that wouldn't break you if you lost it. This is the 'don't invest more than you can afford to lose' phase. Be honest and serious about your budget. For me, it's 250$ every two weeks out of each paycheck, with an additional bump whenever I get unexpected stuff, like a tax return or a small bonus this year, making sure not to stretch out or expand debt to be able to invest.
2.5 - We are here. You might still be DCA in or you might be holding to DCA but either way, both steps 2 and 3 are important.
3- Third step is determine your exit price. This will be the price at which you start to DCA out or phase out your profits. By DCA out, you ensure you're not just taking whatever the price is at the time of exit but averaging it near your exit price. For example, for me, I have a few Eth that will be DCA out ~10k. I'll take my profit on them in that range.
Having that price target in mind really helps with FOMO because knowing that i'm not selling til 10k means that right now, in the crab bear market, the day to day actions of the price chart, don't mean much because I'm DCAing in until I hit that exit price.
4- Fourth step is expand that plan. By that I mean, like above, I've got a few ETH set aside to be sold at 10k. The rest will keep staking for longer term with an exit price of ~25k. That might be 2030 or 2035, but knowing that exit point again helps me ignore the daily charts.
Step 5 for me is HUGE in fighting FOMO or worry about missed potential profits
5- Step 5 is plan where those profits are gonna go. I know I'll set ~1/3 to taxes (overplanning in case), a good chunk to pay off debt, and we're planning a small add-on to the house that those profits will take care of. Having that plan made out helps you hold firm until that exit price as well. If I know I need to be around 10k to sell, it reinforces that I don't care if the price point is 3000 or 2000, because I'm not selling anytime soon.
6- Step 6 is plan for a small powder bag. One way I do this is keeping some USDC on one of the CEXs, nominally staked or yielding and earning a bit. Usually at a higher rate than a savings account. This is the gambling bag or moonshot bag or secondary portfolio, however you want to call it. This is the money you set aside for when things catch your interest. Whether it's legitimate like Donuts or a pump and dump like Pepe that you want to throw some money in on a gamble. Plan for where those $$ come from and limit yourself to what you set aside for it and know your exit price as well.
7 - Step 7 is determine if there's anything you can do to grow passively. I mentioned that I have some Eth and I have it staked or earning passively to grow my bags. There are options to grow your bags that don't take $$ but might take some time. If there's a hobby you enjoy that might earn some crypto or something passive like using BAT browser or something along those lines that help you get a fix during a prolonged and incredibly BORING crab-bear market.
That's what I got so far. What would you add? What have you learned in this market cycle or in this prolonged bear?

2024.05.21 12:47 LewisDKennedy A History of Doctor Who's Weekly TV Rankings
Since the viewing figures for Space Babies and The Devil's Chord released yesterday, I've seen a lot of people freaking out that neither episode made it much over 4 million viewers. Given that these numbers are around about what they were in 1989 when the show was cancelled, it seems many people think that the end is nigh, and RTD's relaunch has been a total failure.
This is however missing a lot of context. For starters, when the show was cancelled at the end of the 1980s there were only 4 channels. Home recording hardware was available, but extremely expensive and usually unaffordable for the majority of people. If you wanted to watch a show, you had to watch it live. 4 million in 1989 is in no way the same as it is in 2024.
Even since the show returned in 2005 the landscape has changed dramatically. Catchup and streaming services didn't exist yet. The digital switchover hadn't happened yet, meaning a large amount of people still only had 5 channels. Those that did have digitial TV were likely on freeview, which at most had about 50-60 channels. Today, we have thousands of channels on multiple digital media services, and thats not to mention the dozens of streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime, Disney+, and NOW that further divide the audience. We are never getting back the days where an episode can regularly reach 10m viewers. Comparing Series 14 viewing figures to Series 4 ones is utterly worthless.
So, how do we measure the health of the show compared to its own past?
Simple! We use the weekly rankings for the episodes, rather than the viewership numbers themselves. This is how music charts are compiled and no one has any issues with that system. Its also the only way to consistently measure the viewership, while still accounting for the change in viewing habits over the last 20 years.
I've seen a lot of people state that the show is as healthy as its ever been just like I am now, but without the numbers to back it up. Well, I've decided to bring those numbers.
I've compiled a spreadsheet of the weekly placing for every single episode back to 1963 taken from their first transmission date. This was done using figures from Doctor Who Guide, which is an excellent resource. The figures from the iPlayer age are compiled using their 7 day rating, which includes everyone who watched it within a week of transmission, as is standard procedure these days.
You can find my spreadsheet here. It's broken down by classic and revival eras, by each Doctor, and by each revival showrunner, but the graph on the first page is the entire history of the show.
So, what can we tell from these figures?
Anyway, I hope you like my spreadsheet. Although I made it for my own enjoyment (yes I am very fun at parties) I thought it might be helpful to share.

I've compiled a spreadsheet of the weekly placing for every single episode back to 1963 taken from their first transmission date. This was done using figures from Doctor Who Guide, which is an excellent resource. The figures from the iPlayer age are compiled using their 7 day rating, which includes everyone who watched it within a week of transmission, as is standard procedure these days.
You can find my spreadsheet here. It's broken down by classic and revival eras, by each Doctor, and by each revival showrunner, but the graph on the first page is the entire history of the show.
So, what can we tell from these figures?
- Only five episodes have been the number 1 most watched show of their week: Journey's End, The End of Time Part I, The End of Time Part II, The Day of the Doctor, and The Woman Who Fell To Earth.
- The classic show had two golden ages of viewership: under Hartnell in 1964-1965, and under Tom Baker in 1975-1977.
- Troughton and Pertwee's castings saved the show. Both arrested accellerating drops in the rankings, with Pertwee's ranks actually increasing towards his end.
- The true nadir of the show's popularity was not at its cancellation under Sylvester McCoy, but Tom Baker's final season. Averaging at 106th for any given week that it was on, it reached its absolute lowest point during episode 2 of Full Circle, when it only achieved 170th.
- After initially recovering to the norm under Peter Davison, a steady decline began towards the end of his run, which continued into the eras of his two successors and culminated in the shows cancellation.
- The final time that the classic show appeared in the Top 20 for the week was episode 5 of The Talons of Weng-Chiang, hitting 18th on the 26th March 1977. This means it continued running for twelve years achieving rankings that the revival has consistently outperformed.
- The lowest that the revival has ever dropped is 35th. This was for Can You Hear Me? on the 9th February 2020.
- Only two episodes in the RTD1 era fell out of the Top 20. Bizzarely, they were The Empty Child (21st) and Silence in the Library (27th).
- The run from Midnight to The End of Time is unprecedented in the history of the show. Achieving rankings of 5th, 4th, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 5th, 5th, 1st, and 1st - nothing else comes close to this level of success.
- The decline in the revival seems to begin just after the 50th anniversary. Some might put this down to Capaldi being too abrasive in Series 8, but its also possible that a lot of the general audience saw the 50th as a natural conclusion and gave up (a bit like what happened to the MCU after Endgame).
- Chibnall's era of the revival is the least consistent. The first half of Series 11 never left the Top 10 and he finished strongly with Power of the Doctor (5th), but only eight episodes out of his last 20 as showrunner made the Top 20.
- So far, RTD2 is on par with the majority of RTD1, the runup to the 50th, and the first half of Series 11.
Anyway, I hope you like my spreadsheet. Although I made it for my own enjoyment (yes I am very fun at parties) I thought it might be helpful to share.
2024.05.21 12:43 Medium_Storm Help me pick items from the Cotton twist
Hai my fellow SKIMS addict,
I need some help picking out pieces from the cotton twist collection. Does anyone have some top picks and absolute nogoes?
I’m really short and a size XXS but I’m also a mom so I don’t want any ridiculous short shorts or whatsoever. color wise I lean towards the cotton candy because who doesn’t love pink but I know the black is a bit more save for the long run. Stains don’t go out that easily…

2024.05.21 12:38 fire4dayzz WWYD - Big decisions incoming!
Hey all, here is my scenario and current plan would love people to question my thought process.
Goal = Get off the treadmill, although still happy to work / consult but slow the pace down a bit enjoy more family time, Get a meaningful positive cashflow from investments.
38, Married with 1 kid (no more incoming).
PPOR = $1.8M (owe $0.69 cents (just cos) on $700k mortgage which can be redrawn. )
Shares = $1.4-1.5M after CGT in my company (way too high risk for me).
HHI = $200-220k pre tax (lower than alot of you, but partner has started new business which is starting to grow)
Yearly Expenses = $70k (can save around 50k per year after expenses). Potential for private school in 4 years, maybe..........
Plan
Sell $750k'ish of shares (after CGT) invest in commercial property ($2-$2.5M range, a good long lease,) with a net yield estimate 6%. Net cashflow around $30k-38k per year (not included capital growth). This will be purchased in a Discr. Trust with Corporate trustee to divy out the income.
Take $500k-600k of the last of the shares and sell down over the next 6 months place into some ETF's. Then add the extra 50k per year into the ETFs. Lets say $24k per year at a 4% withdrawal rate.
Leave 100k in High interest for commercial property issues and life things.
Whilst I'm working, the net income from the commercial property pays off it's mortgage.
Worst case, the above would provide me with $55k per year in income, with $70k expenses. Meaning I have the flexibility to take a lower paying role, and still save and still have growth in my investments.
I'm not really touching the equity in my house at all as it's a safety net, but I could potentially look at using against another investment down the road and debt recycle. I could potentially leverage more tbh.
The above plan spreads my NW risk across, my house, commercial property, and the Market (ETFs), and gives me flexibility and cashflow over the coming years to find a job that aligns more, figure out my next steps and reduce any major stresses.
What are people's thoughts?

2024.05.21 12:37 Gold_Clock_2050 Weapon power
I'm a bit confused about the gear power ratings. I've played for 13h and have a Borderlands background. When I started I got 1600 power gear. When I kept playing I kept finding higher and higher ones. Then suddenly I start some arena quest and get 1810 power everything. After that I've mostly found 1800 power gear, which I guess is worse than what I have. I also find some 1810 gear which I guess is as good as my current gear. Isn't this game about finding more and more powerful gear? How do I know what gear is worth using? Will I ever find better gear than what I have?

2024.05.21 12:31 sbos_ Picking an estate agent is so hard! I’m struggling and need to decide asap
Everyone bashes Haart but the reviews for my local one seem good. But overall Haart seems to have poor rating nationally when looking on trust pilot.
My local independent estate agent has lower fee at 1% (Haart is 1.5%) with excellent reviews on Google and Trustpilot. They seem to know the area very well too.
I’m stuck though. Haart seem to sell more properties in my area at the price point I’m looking at. They gave me example of what they’ve sold in the area in last 6 months (all the properties they sold were £5k-10k below asking price…red flags?).
Whereas my local independent agent only showed me a rightmove best price guide print out and a bit more conservative with how to market the property.
Who should I go with?

2024.05.21 12:23 No_Bumblebee4105 I’m(F22) looking for Part Time Maid and Pet Sitting jobs in JVC, Dubai. Where can I find one soon?
I’m(F22) here in Dubai since the 22nd of April and have been trying to find a job. I went for several interviews but still couldn’t get anything. My visit visa ends on the 22nd of June.
So my plan is to work part time as a maid and pet sitter because I think I have a path in that. I’m residing here in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai, and I can travel to any area that is close by. I can do cleaning, laundry, ironing as basics and for pets, I can care for them, go on walks and if required I can stay the night if the owners are going out. I mostly want to part time because I wish to get an hourly pay which if possible I could get daily or most t probably weekly.
I prefer it like that because I am planning on sending money to my mother who is with my sister’s family. My father passed away on the 17th of March and I’ve been going through a bit of a struggle but I’m ready to take the challenge even though it has been hard ever since.
I plan on starting my price rates at AED25-35. I hope this is a reasonable price.
I don’t have experience but I have been training with my auntie(58) who has been a maid in the UAE for almost 20 years. So I hope to get the required training and get hired from a family as a maid or pet sitter.
Please if you come through this reddit, even if you don’t wish to have a maid or house sitter, please let anyone know who does.

2024.05.21 12:19 Traditional-Extent30 Preliminary thoughts on Rifleman
Hi, recently switched to a rifleman and I want to share my thoughts as well as hear your opinion on the subject if you have some experience with this build/weaponry.
For reference this is my build:
https://nukesdragons.com/fallout-76/character?v=1&s=6a64aaa&d=sg2sb2p02pd1pk1po2pp2pl1ce0cu2la2l71l10lk2lu2lv2s72ao0a12a04a32ib4s12im1in1ir2eh2eu0e00ek0&lp=x13x43x73x83x93xm3
Unyielding, mainly energy weapon based.
I'm living on popcorn, purified water (used to overeaters pa), company tea and eventually canned coffee.
I do not pretend to be able to deal the same damage as a true meta build. And i accept the limit of unyielding (radiation zones/damage, some particular daily ops combo).
Still I aim to a certain degree of efficiency to deal with my way of playing.. soloing expeditions, being able to carry an event if necessary and classic endgame stuff.
I'm not interested in free aim, vats based.
My equipment is mainly based by 4+1 weapons:
-Bloody/50 hit chance/25 Laser rifle: I use the snappy receiver (or whatever it is) for keeping a nice rate of fire. I tried the aligned sniper barrel but.. that stuff seemed a bit crap to me, not just the reduced ammo capacity (from 30 to 9) but the fact that it doesn't seem to really compensate that with an increase on damage, on paper looks fine but using it.. no no. Probably bounded to the "charging". Switched to the other aligned long rifleman barrel
It's not stealth but surely my favourite weapon with this build. With the rifleman barrel it also looks really cool and well fitted.
But it also is the weapon that most makes me wonder how it works (or to best use it). My idea, using a quad, was to not lose time charging shot, just spamming. But i don't know (if someone of you have some experience I would appreciate your thoughts) how much damage do i lose not charging shot, if it would be better to completely charge at least the crit shot.
It's also a bit buggy, going 404 and not getting you sprint, stim and reload till you either bash/fire a complete charged round or switch weapon.
It seems to be mostly a problem in first person and this bugs me since Escape Artist is smoother in fp.
Finally, the most important part.. advice me on some outfit to use.. being "free" or atom shop, whatever, if you have a good combination. Right now I'm using Bos Spec ops suit with gray knit cap and gas mask with goggles. And i genuinely like it, but maybe you know some better combinations that might fit this build.
Thanks for reading (eventually lol)

- "+1" being Aristocratic/Explosive/15 reload Black powder rifle, kind of meme weapon, but it perfectly fit so I like to have it on the favourite wheel for when i can just have fun without worrying about dps/time and this stuff.
- Instigating/50 more critical damage (50 from so on/ 25 less action points cost (25 from so on) Enclave rifle: reflex and aligned sniper rifle.
-Bloody/50 hit chance/25 Laser rifle: I use the snappy receiver (or whatever it is) for keeping a nice rate of fire.

Probably bounded to the "charging". Switched to the other aligned long rifleman barrel
- AntiArmo25% faster rate of fire/25 Ultracite Laser Rifle: that's been a freaking surprise. Laser are a bit delusional on commando, especially the Ultracite and with faster fire rate
It's not stealth but surely my favourite weapon with this build. With the rifleman barrel it also looks really cool and well fitted.
- Quad/50/25 Gauss Rifle: this is the main weapon, especially for bosses.. silent (at least in theory since it has the silencer, not used enough to say if the explosive effect break the stealth), with perforating capacitor for 40% armor penetration and a really high base damage.
But it also is the weapon that most makes me wonder how it works (or to best use it). My idea, using a quad, was to not lose time charging shot, just spamming.

2024.05.21 12:12 BullRage_mF MSI Z790 Gaming Plus Wifi QVL wrong?
 | Quick rant/Information for you PC builders out there. submitted by BullRage_mF to pcmasterrace [link] [comments] I tried building a descent office machine a few days ago. So I looked up the MSI QVL for some good, but still fairly cheap RAM. I opted for G.Skill Ripjaws S5, as they fit under the air cooler perfectly, but there were barely any on the list; but I saw the Flare X5 RAM on there. I know it's rated for AMD EXPO, but I thought, it should be fine as MSI tested it and it was cheap, had good timings, I didn't want to go over 6000MHz and has the same form factor as Ripjaws. https://preview.redd.it/gqxhipqk5r1d1.png?width=2626&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e41ed30846a2d6bfd56068247f3ddff194a6b48 (It's the RAM with FX5 at the end) Long story short: They didn't work at all. I got the PC to boot into BIOS, but as soon as I tried to install Windows 11 & 10 (I tried both) with 3 different USB-Sticks and formatting (FAT32 and NTFS), different USB-ports, 2 different SSDs (as the most common error code meant that either the USB-stick or the SSD could be faulty), the PC would crash with different error-codes and at different stages. I know there is a bit of an user error, as I shouldn't have opted for the AMD EXPO rated RAM, as I know the difference; but my gosh it's on the QVL, so it should have been testet and found to be working. So I'm quite an experienced PC builder, I would say, but this would have been a big bummer for anyone new to this and maybe not really familiar with the naming scheme of RAM or installing Windows on an SSD with half a Windows already on it. I really would like a QVL to be reliable. Which QVLs do you still trust? PS.: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 F5-6000J4040F16GX2-RS5K work like a charm (they're on G.Skill's QVL, but not on MSI's) |

Reviews🔗Collapsible Wagon: Compact Storage and Maneuverability for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/6zqz7fq98r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b41d529f7bec6461b838d30a67dc1792a405a49b As a proud owner of the Black & Decker Collapsible Wagon, I can confidently say that it has become my go-to companion for all my outdoor adventures. Whether I'm heading to the park, the farmers' market, or just working on my garden, this sturdy wagon is always by my side to transport all my essentials. What I love the most about this wagon is its heavy-duty, all-terrain wheels. They make maneuvering the wagon through different terrains a breeze, and the 360-degree wheel rotation ensures a smooth ride, even when going up or downhill. The handle, which can be used to comfortably push or pull the wagon, secures in place when not in use, providing an added level of convenience. One standout feature is the telescoping handle that allows for easy storage when the wagon isn't in use. It folds into a compact size, making it perfect for small spaces, especially when you're not on your next adventure. However, I did find that sometimes the plastic tire could be a bit annoying, especially when using it for beach trips. With its large capacity and portable design, the Black & Decker Collapsible Wagon truly lives up to its name. Its sturdy frame and durable polyester canvas fabric ensure it can handle up to 176 pounds, making it a reliable choice for all your outdoor needs. And with its Velcro pocket and two cup holders, you can stay organized and hydrated on the go. Overall, the Black & Decker Collapsible Wagon is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a convenient and versatile wagon to handle all their outdoor adventures. Its easy maneuverability, sturdy construction, and space-saving design make it a standout product that has earned its 5.0 rating from users. 🔗Versatile Coleman Camping Wagon with Canopy and Adjustable Handleshttps://preview.redd.it/cevc969a8r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16faeb12d84ddb16b3a49cba72cdec8a6019df25 The Wonderfold Wagon S4 Push and Pull is a versatile companion for all your outdoor activities, from beach trips to camping adventures. With a telescopic pull handle and adjustable push handle, you're in control of maneuvering this wagon even in tight spaces. The wagon boasts a foldable canopy, perfect for shielding your little ones or your belongings from the rain. One of my favorite features is the one-step foot brake at the back, ensuring your precious cargo stays secure while you take breaks or navigate tough terrains. However, I noticed the plastic wheels may not be as durable as rubber ones, making the ride a bit less smooth on certain surfaces. Craftsmanship is solid overall, but the plastic straps and certain frame components appear a bit more bendable than expected. A few users shared concerns about the overall sturdiness. On the bright side, the wagon is stylish and has a compact design when folded, making storage a breeze. With its ease of use and large capacity, the Wonderfold Wagon S4 Push and Pull is an impressive choice for those who want a convenient and sturdy option for outdoor trips. 🔗Lightweight Aluminum Hunting Wagon for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/b7y38mma8r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5886411431a0d8fcdb3e862e80239408bc18f3da As a nature enthusiast, I stumbled upon this Calypso Cruiser Wagon during my last camping trip. What sets it apart is its sturdy, aluminum construction—rust-resistant and ready to endure even the harshest terrain. The weight of just 50 pounds is remarkable for a wagon that can haul up to 350 pounds, making it a convenient companion for my hunting expeditions. My favorite feature has to be the large, 14-inch pneumatic tires. They roll over any terrain with ease and leave no trace; a perfect match for my nature-loving spirit. The extra-large deck fits smoothly through standard doorways, and the built-in drain holes keep my gear away from unnecessary water. The removable side panels are a thoughtful addition, ensuring that my gear stays in place during transit. Ergonomic hand grips prevent strain, and the clevis attachment makes it easy to hook up my ATV or other vehicles, making the wagon a versatile tool for my outdoor adventures. However, while the wagon is made for any terrain, it didn't fare so well in turning. The aluminum plates that make up the swivel needed some grease to turn smoothly. This ended up causing some friction and, after prolonged use, left tiny grits that made the swivel feel like sandpaper. In conclusion, the Calypso Cruiser Wagon is a great tool for those who love the outdoors and appreciate the convenience of transporting their gear. Its lightweight rust-resistant construction, versatility, and ergonomic design make it a worthy investment for frequent camping trips, fishing trips, or any outdoor activity. Despite the occasional challenges in turning the corners, the overall experience was great, and I look forward to more adventures with this sturdy companion by my side. 🔗Coleman Collapsible Camping Wagon for Festival and Beach Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/f05pj1bb8r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ab8c983c3cf02b8147fe248d3b40c7e12007317 When I first saw the Coleman Collapsible Camping Wagon, I thought it was a fun and practical way to transport my gear for outdoor adventures. The red wagon arrived with all its parts together, but as soon as I started setting it up, I realized that this was not your average toy wagon. The first thing I noticed about the wagon was its size when used - a whopping 106 x 53 x 100 cm. It was bigger than I expected, but it also had a significant load capacity of 85 kg, which was a great advantage for when I needed to bring more stuff on my trips. The storage size was also impressive, at 18 x 40 x 77 cm, which was enough to fit my camping gear comfortably. Now, let's talk about the wheels. The wagon had a set of four wheels, each with brakes for full control. This was particularly useful when I needed to navigate through different terrains or when I had to stop suddenly. However, the tires were not the best quality. After a few trips, they started to wear down, and I had to replace them eventually. Another feature that stood out was the removable reinforced bottom. It made it easy for me to clean the wagon and store it away when not in use. The steel frame also made it strong and durable, although it was a bit heavy to lift when folded. The trolley came with a few accessories, including a rubber band with a hook and a storage case. The rubber band was handy when I needed to secure my belongings, while the storage case was useful when I wanted to keep the wagon organized. However, there were a few downsides to using this wagon. For instance, the handle material was not the most comfortable to grip, especially when I was pulling heavy loads. It also required a bit of assembly, which could be a hassle for some people. Overall, the Coleman Collapsible Camping Wagon was a useful tool for my outdoor adventures. It was sturdy, spacious, and easy to use, although it had a few flaws that I had to address. If you're looking for a reliable wagon for your outdoor trips, this might be a good option, but be prepared to spend some time setting it up and maintaining it. 🔗Rugged Outdoor Wagon for Camping and Picnics, with Reinforced Steel Construction and 5 Cu. Ft. Storagehttps://preview.redd.it/1kg8rqnb8r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0390468f6dd1243b64a3d63a2600f64a7439e95 I recently took the Coleman Camp Wagon on a camping trip, and it made hauling all of my essentials a breeze. The rugged polyester bin and swivel steel frame provided supreme durability, even while trekking through rough terrains. The accordion folding design and carry case made transporting it hassle-free, and maneuvering it was effortless with the telescoping handle and swivel front wheels. One negative aspect I encountered was the 150 lb weight limit, which limited the amount of gear I could bring along.

2024.05.21 12:11 InterestingOne4925 Dvla tax fine, no v5 or new keeper slip from seller
Hi all, earlier this year my son bought a car, the seller could not provide the logbook or new keeper slip, so a new one was applied for, I filled the v62 out for him and not knowing the exact date of purchase put new years eve down, as I knew this was definitely before actual date.. (A mistake? Irrelevant maybe??)
Throughout this time the car remained on our private drive, where it had been trailered to.
Cut to March 5th and he received a letter from dvla confirming sale and that a new logbook, v5, would be issued shortly, buoyed up by this he finished the last few jobs needed, to return it to the road, this included him moving it to the end and just off our drive. This meant the passenger side wheels were technically on the public road while the rest of the vehicle and driver side were on our property. A situation that was just a few hours. On the 18th he received the v5 (issued 14th) and promptly taxed the car, now showing as taxed from 1st March (insurance and mot already done). Off he sets happily using vehicle. Then, may 18th he received a letter detailing his use/keeping the vehicle on public road at midday on the 5th March, the time when he was working on it, however the fine (out of court settlement offer) appears to include back dated tax and is £105, from reading it should be £30 if anything, but shows on dvla site as taxed from 1st
So how to proceed? He is only marked as keeper from 14th March, and payed the duty ASAP to cover March, surely previous keeper has liability, seems they are trying to pin his unpaid tax on new keeper? No prior contact, so I don't believe it's escalated charges. Just a bit lost as to how to move forward, the more nominal fine it wouldn't be worth challenging, but at this rate instinct is to appeal it, or at least offer mitigatiin at a hearing as he had no means to tax or sorn until that v5 arrived, anybody been in this position, any advice appreciated

2024.05.21 12:09 Get-Me-A-Username rant about the 150 player boxes
The boxes or whatever theyre called containing 150 players is absolutely absurd. have a favourite player in them that youd like to get? Tough luck. You have to spend alot of money, waste your saved coins, or get extremely lucky. I am a f2p player and the fact i cannot get my favourite player when konami release them is so annoying. And even though there is an equal chance of getting every player, having 147 players being unusable when you get them is crazy. A bit less if you wanna get the B players (are you crazy?). You would need 13.5k coins to guarantee your targeted player(s), less if youre lucky. But it would probably still be in the hundreds or thousands of coins, and even for a p2w player, that costs so much, and there are new boxes every week? Im not sure, but the boxes do renew, and if you have players you would like to get in different boxes, youd have to spend alotttt more tham 13.5k coins. The boxes with 11 players such as the potw and european championship boxes are so much better, but the catch is you cannot build them or add skills that you would like. The game really sucks alot if you plan to get your favourite players. Like me, as a bayern fan i really wanted lahm and rummenigge, but they were all in 150 player boxes, so i didnt want to waste my coins just to get a random 76 rated guy. Although, the free players they give out are great as a f2p player, such as costacurta, beckenbauer etc.NCs are also good, but i hate the fact that they expire. The fact the pass is on sale is pretty good, but the coins you get is nowhere near enough to get like MVB from the european league attackers box. This is my first rant lol idk if i even put out a good argument. I just wrote my ideas and didnt really write them like am academic paper.
TLDR: 150 player boxes are shit, 11 player boxes and NCs are decent.

The combination of Coleman's time-honored reliability and the convenience of its dual fuel system has made this lantern a go-to for all my outdoor adventures. One of the standout features is the brightness. With 700 lumens on high, it illuminates my tent or campsite like nothing I've ever seen before. The adjustable dimmer knob lets me fine-tune the light to my needs, making it perfect for late-night tent tinkering. But the real star here is the dual fuel technology. Using either Coleman Liquid Fuel or unleaded gasoline, this lantern provides an impressive runtime of 7 hours on high with just one tank of fuel. It saves me both time and money compared to traditional propane lanterns. Now, no product is without its drawbacks. The lantern's compact size means it's a bit lighter on weight, with a more streamlined design compared to Coleman's older models. However, it still packs a punch when it comes to performance. Lastly, the durable carry case is a welcomed addition. It keeps my lantern safe and secure during transportation, and I appreciate the attention to detail in this aspect. Overall, the Coleman Premium Dual Fuel Lantern has been a dependable companion on my camping journeys. From illuminating my campsite to providing a warm, reliable source of light in chilly conditions, it's a lantern worthy of its high rating and positive reviews. 🔗Powerful Portable Camping Lantern by Colemanhttps://preview.redd.it/7khsq9q17r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53b0e188e57d3d6555ad8635ce1e8b1598393652 Imagine a warm summer night, you've set up camp in a secluded clearing, and you're surrounded by the soft rustling of the forest. You've had a long day hiking, and as the sun sets, you realize you've brought the wrong lantern with you. Suddenly, you hear some rustling in the bushes, and the dark shadow of a wild animal appears in the dim light. What do you do? Of course, you grab your old lantern, but it's feeble, the battery barely holding on. Then you remember your new propane lantern that you bought for this very situation. You hold it proudly, and the glow of the lantern lights up the darkness, and you feel a sense of security wash over you. The Coleman Propane 2 Mantle Lantern, a reliable and portable solution to all your outdoor illumination needs.

This little camping essential is a game-changer for those who love spending time outdoors. It's not just about illuminating your surroundings, but it's also about providing a cozy, warm ambiance that makes you feel at home away from home. One of the standout features of this lantern is the adjustable brightness level. From low to high, you can easily change the intensity of the light, making it perfect for any situation. The footed base is another great addition, as it provides stability and can be folded up for compact storage when not in use. The match-light ignition makes starting a breeze, while the PerfectFlow System ensures consistent fuel usage. However, there are a few drawbacks to this lantern. For one, it does get quite hot, so you need to be careful when handling it after it's been on for a while. Additionally, the carry case is protective and sturdy but isn't the most compact option, which might be an issue for those with limited storage space. Overall, the Coleman Deluxe PerfectFlow Propane Lantern with Soft Carry Case is a must-have for anyone who loves camping or spending time outdoors. With its bright light and long runtime, it's a reliable and versatile addition to any outdoor enthusiast's arsenal. 🔗Coleman 275 Lantern with Adjustable Brightnesshttps://preview.redd.it/xm29p6e27r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=535d3f2b15bf1f1b026637c0a1f89902d20ccfa6 As a fan of outdoor adventures, I recently got the Coleman 810 Lumen 2-Mantle Quickpack Fuel Lantern with Case to brighten up my camping trips and fishing expeditions. This lantern has become an essential part of my camping gear due to its versatility and functionality. One of the features that stood out to me was the InstaStart ignition for fast, matchless lighting. It made setting up the lantern a breeze, especially considering the late hours when I'd sometimes need a lantern. The uniquely designed footed base also played a big role in enhancing the stability of the lantern, ensuring it wouldn't topple over during use. The product is designed for portability, and it folds up for compact storage. This trait comes handy when I have limited space in my vehicle, making it perfect for an outdoor enthusiast like me who needs to carry their gear efficiently. However, the experience wasn't entirely smooth sailing. The first con that came to my attention was the propane fuel type, which may be harder to find in some areas compared to other alternatives. But overall, this lantern has been a reliable companion during my outdoor endeavors. In summary, the Coleman 810 Lumen 2-Mantle Quickpack Fuel Lantern with Case is an excellent choice for a camping enthusiast who wants a portable light source. Its unique design, versatility, and adjustable brightness level make it a standout choice among similar products in the market. But it is crucial to be aware of the potential limitations when considering this as your go-to lantern, particularly regarding the propane fuel type. 🔗Reliable Coleman One Mantle Kerosene Lantern with Automatic Tip Cleanerhttps://preview.redd.it/b1rn1js27r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cda8816623a611258eab199337d496a42c636ece Imagine those long camping nights, surrounding a warm, glowing light.

It's straightforward to use, with an easy single-knob control for operation. Yet, it's not without its drawbacks. The ignition might require some practice, and fuel could be a bit of a hassle.

And with their One Mantle Kerosene Lantern, they show no sign of stopping.

One of the standout features of this lantern is its adjustable brightness, which allowed me to customize the light level to my liking.

Firstly, the cane proved to be a bit on the heavy side. Granted, its heft gave it a sense of robustness and stability, but I couldn't help but wish it were a tad lighter for those extended walks.

This made it a bit challenging to keep it steady on hard surfaces, as it would slide around quite easily. Overall, the Cold Steel Axe Head Polymer Cane has proven to be a reliable and versatile walking tool. Its solid construction and sturdy design make it an excellent choice for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts like myself. Despite the minor issue with the cane's resistance mechanism, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and functional walking stick. 🔗Cold Steel Soldier's Targe Walking Staffhttps://preview.redd.it/d4ugtuca5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87d1c33224084b7fc7b653754e9e556b29578375 I've been using the Cold Steel Soldier's Targe in my daily life, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer!

Not only does it provide a smooth and premium look, but it also adds to the overall appeal and functionality of the walking stick. I found that its overall length of 27 inches and weight of 20.1 ounces offered a solid balance and ease of use during all my outdoor activities. However, I did notice a few drawbacks. Firstly, the weight may not be ideal for all users, especially if it's to be used frequently or for extended periods.

The 37-inch overall length and 27.25-inch whip length offer ample support and reach, making it suitable for various terrains and activities. However, there is one downside to the Cable Whip Cane. Its nylon handle, while comfortable, can get slippery during rainy or sweaty conditions.

As a fan of both practical and eye-catching accessories, I was intrigued to try it out firsthand. What really stood out to me was the 62-inch length, which added a certain level of grandiosity to my wanderings, making me feel like I was on a quest for some hidden treasure. Despite being made of plastic, the Walking Staff surprisingly felt sturdy and well-made, thanks to its realistic wood grain texture. This added detail gave it a touch of sophistication, making me feel confident in its ability to support me on my journey. With a weight that was far from burdensome, I quickly came to love the convenience it provided while strolling around town. However, there were a couple of drawbacks as well. Although the black detailing made the staff visually appealing, it did attract a considerable amount of attention. This might not be a problem for some, but I found myself feeling a bit self-conscious as I used it. Additionally, even though it was lightweight, I couldn't help but feel that a more durable material like metal would have given me a stronger sense of security during my adventures. In conclusion, the Walking Staff, or the Cold Steel Walking Stick, is a delightful and practical accessory for those who want to add a touch of magic to their daily life. Its unique blend of style and function, while not perfect, definitely makes it an interesting choice for anyone looking for something a bit unconventional. 🔗Cold Steel Walking Axe Head Cane: Combat-Inspired Self-Defense Stickhttps://preview.redd.it/s8dwl60c5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e378270308907bb4418d6f109a0749bbd66787b Recently, I've been using the Cold Steel Walking Cane with an Axe head. At first, the weight of the cane was noticeable, but it quickly became sturdy and trusty. I preferred to use the cane as intended, rather than attempting to modify it for a smaller size. The cane's handle was comfortable, providing a perfect grip for everyday use. However, the slick surface of the cane was a bit of a drawback when moving around on polished floors; it didn't offer much resistance, and sometimes it became difficult for me to keep a firm hold. During my time using the cane, I found it to be an excellent choice when traversing various types of terrain. The axe head was both an appealing design and served a practical purpose. However, I also discovered that the product really needed a rubber tip on the end to prevent it from sliding all over the place. This, combined with the slight inconveniences posed by the cane's material and size, have led me to rate the Cold Steel Walking Cane with an axe head a solid, functional, and versatile tool for daily use. 🔗Durable Walking Staff for City and Trail Usehttps://preview.redd.it/cfrjdvsc5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f48916bc4e0ffafd2bd923bc33ec1150d91eebe5 I recently had the chance to try out the Cold Steel Walkabout Stick, and I must say, it truly is a versatile and sturdy tool. Made from solid black polypropylene, it's a durable option that's perfect for hiking or using as a self-defense weapon.

After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say it's a sturdy and reliable companion for my outdoor adventures. One feature that stands out is the blend of polypropylene and wood-like texture. This gives the walking stick a perfect balance of strength and style. While it may not have the same rugged feel as a real Blackthorn staff, the faux wood knob at the top adds a touch of elegance and authenticity. The walking stick is also surprisingly lightweight despite its substantial length of 59 inches. This makes it ideal for long treks without causing undue fatigue. The dimensions and ergonomic design make it comfortable to hold for extended periods. However, the one drawback I encountered was that the thorns on the knob could occasionally snag on my clothing or backpack. While this might seem like a minor issue, it's something to be aware of when walking in tight spaces.

2024.05.21 11:51 Raging_PineAppleee Unpopular opinion... the Slavia ain't that pretty.
Look, I am not saying it's a bad car in any way, its a very good car. But I just wanted to see if some people feel the same way about it's design.
It just feels weird really, the front grille seems too big and the whole car seems a bit bland and bulky. The front is pretty round with it's massive mustache looking grille, the headlights looks smaller than they should've been, and the side is very plain. The rear is nice though.
It's also bulky like it's sister the Virtus, Virtus is prettier than the Slavia in my opinion but still bulky nonetheless. I like sleeker cars such as the Honda City.
It's just that front portion, and I am by no means a Skoda hater. I love absolutely love the design of the Octivia because it is very well proportioned, the grill is decently big and the headlights in contrast to the grill does not seem small, like the Slavia does.
It's not ugly just not pretty either as some people claim as it being "gorgeous" I mean beauty does lie in the eye of the beholder but I have not seen anyone disagreeing about it's looks.
Either way it's a good car but I just don't get the hype of it over other prettier cars such as the new City and even the Virtus looks great! A bit bulky but still good.
Personally if you ask me in the C segment I would rate the cars by design as such-

Quick Flip Go Water Bottle in the Tigerlily color. This water bottle has become a staple in my daily routine. The first thing that caught my eye was its sleek design – perfect for carrying on the go. The double-wall vacuum insulation is a real game-changer. Whether I'm sipping on iced water in the summer or a hot cup of tea in the winter, the temperature remains consistent for hours. One feature I particularly appreciate is the trigger-action lid. It's easy to use and helps prevent spills, making it great for when I'm on the move. Plus, the fact that it's dishwasher safe is a lifesaver. No more scrubbing by hand! However, there are a couple of downsides. Firstly, the weight of the bottle can be a bit of a struggle for those who prefer a lighter option. Secondly, the dimensions might not fit all car cup holders, which can be a hassle during road trips. Overall, the Stanley Quick Flip Go Water Bottle has been a reliable companion in my everyday life.

The nylon handle provides an enhanced grip that makes it convenient to hold, while the steel construction ensures structural strength for long-term use. I particularly appreciate the rubber ferrule, which is designed to be slip-resistant, making it an excellent choice for uneven terrain or icy sidewalks. One downside is that it might be a bit heavy for some people, especially those who don't need the extra weight for support. However, the overall design and engineering of the cane are top-notch, and it gives me a sense of reassurance knowing I have a sturdy and reliable walking staff whenever I need it. 🔗Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel: Robust, Stainless Steel Outdoor Essentialhttps://preview.redd.it/onud1it34r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19aa78d8c58949aae696362f44a26b21b9da0dca This past summer, I found myself on a weekend camping trip and realized I didn't pack a shovel. I needed to dig a small trench around my campsite to divert water. Luckily, a friend had a Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel that he let me borrow. On the first day, he taught me how to use it. The edge was sharp, and the handle felt sturdy. I was surprised by how strong it was. I struggled a bit at first, but it didn't take long before I was able to dig the trench. After returning from the camping trip and reflecting on the weekend, I realized that the shovel had some flaws. Firstly, it was a bit heavy for a camping trip, and I felt it could cause strain on my back over time. Secondly, it didn't come with a sheath, which was inconvenient since I had to keep it in my vehicle's trunk, where it took up too much space. Despite these issues, I still appreciated the durability of the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel. It was clear that it was designed for heavy-duty tasks. The edge remained sharp even after I used it heavily. The wooden handle felt comfortable to hold, even though it was a bit on the thick side.

The deluxe edition for Playstation 5 was a refreshing return to the rich world of Erebonia, where war hero Rean Schwarzer began his new life as an instructor at Thors Military Academy's branch campus. What stood out to me was how the game expertly handled the aftermath of the Erebonian Civil War and introduced new threats to keep the story alive. Delving into it with the improved RPG gameplay on PlayStation 5 made my journey even more immersive. Plus, the cosmetic DLC available with these iterations ensured that every member of my party was looking their best, adding a unique touch to the experience. However, like any other game, it wasn't all smooth sailing.

The product has a delightful citrus smell that lifts the spirits while I'm getting my hands dirty in the kitchen. Plus, the grease and grime just seem to vanish as if by magic. However, there's one small downside to my Shumanit experience. On one occasion, the package was partially leaking, which made me worry about the condition of the other products in the batch.

It's been a part of my camping adventures for years, ensuring that my beverages stay the perfect temperature no matter the weather. The thick stainless steel walls not only keep my iced drinks cold for two days but also keep my hot beverages warm for up to two weeks. Plus, the leak-proof lid doubles as a cup, providing a convenient and easy-to-use option for sipping on the go. The 2.5-quart capacity is ideal for sharing drinks with friends or keeping a large quantity of your favorite beverage at the ready. I've washed my Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle in the dishwasher without any concerns about rust or BPA exposure, and it continues to perform as well as it did on day one. Overall, the Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle has become an essential part of my outdoor gear, and I can't imagine spending time in nature without it. 🔗Stanley Vacuum Insulated 1.5qt Bottle: Leakproof and Durable for Any Adventurehttps://preview.redd.it/hv1cfgh54r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92c3e83a1e6ed9bde65bd49c95962c0425bd9025 For my outdoor adventures, the Stanley Legendary Classic Bottle 1.5qt Habitat has truly been a game-changer.

One of my favorite features is the stainless steel construction, which not only makes the bottle sturdy and durable but also ensures it's free of BPA, a nice touch for any health-conscious individual. The double-wall vacuum insulation, another key highlight, works wonders in keeping my beverages at their desired temperatures, even in extreme conditions. However, I found that the bottle can be quite difficult to clean, especially along the insulated areas. Additionally, the screw cap lid, while functional, can be a bit tricky to twist off after a while, depending on the grip strength. These minor inconveniences aside, the Stanley Legendary Classic Bottle has proven to be an indispensable companion on all my outdoor excursions. 🔗Versatile Cold Welding Formula for Robust Bondshttps://preview.redd.it/4ogfz5u54r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4866a573a4c06607a53a48abca3bb57ecd3aa95 Recently, I got my hands on the J-B Weld Original Cold-Weld Formula Steel Reinforced Epoxy. I was intrigued by the fact that it could serve as an inexpensive alternative to welding, soldering, and brazing. To my surprise, this versatile epoxy proved to be a game-changer in my daily life. One of the most impressive features of the J-B Weld epoxy is its water-resistant nature. I used it to seal a leak in my water pipe, and it worked like a charm. The epoxy's petroleum and chemical resistance made it perfect for my project, as it withstood various tests without any damage. Another standout feature of this product is its non-toxic and safe-to-use nature. I used it to fix my child's broken toy, and its safety made me feel more comfortable. However, I did notice that the mixing ratio of the epoxy is quite sensitive. One must be cautious not to deviate too far from the 1-1 ratio of liquid steel/epoxy resin and the hardener. A slight miscalculation could result in a weaker bond or the need for reapplication. In conclusion, the J-B Weld Original Cold-Weld Formula Steel Reinforced Epoxy is a must-have for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its ease of use, remarkable strength, and versatility make it a standout product in its category. Despite the minor drawback of the mixing ratio, the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience. 🔗Insulated Bottle for Long-Lasting Beverageshttps://preview.redd.it/hjiqws764r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=778b7036f610f7931a5d1bf47b1544b1da25f09e I recently put the Stanley Classic to the test on an outing to the mountains. This bottle is a true companion for outdoor enthusiasts, with its impressive 18/8 stainless steel construction and BPA-free design. The 1.5 quart capacity means it can handle all types of drinks, from hot coffee to icy coolers, and keep them at the optimal temperature for up to two days. The folding handle is a clever added feature that allows for easy carrying without the risk of it rolling away. One of the standout features of this bottle is its leakproof design, making it a reliable option for packing in a backpack or storing in a truck bed. The wide mouth also makes it easy to fill and clean, which is especially helpful for those who enjoy making their own homemade brews. However, I did notice that the bottle is quite heavy, weighing in at 2 pounds, making it more challenging to carry for longer periods of time. Overall, the Stanley Classic is an excellent investment for those who love spending time outdoors and need a reliable companion to keep their drinks at the perfect temperature. 🔗Portable Insulated Water Bottle with Silicone Strawhttps://preview.redd.it/l5lg54i64r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e07172bcc88a069950d96dd4cfb862f209f40f40 I recently had the chance to put the Cooper Stainless Steel Water Bottle to the test, and I have to say, it impressed me with its performance. The most standout feature of this water bottle is its ability to keep drinks cold for an impressive amount of time. I often struggle to find a water bottle that can truly keep my beverage chilled all day long, but this one did just that. The double-walled and vacuum insulated design does an excellent job of maintaining the temperature of the liquid inside. Another feature I appreciated is the leak-proof lid. No matter how rough I was with it, it never leaked once. The one-touch silicone push button locking mechanism helped keep my bag and clothes dry, while the straw was a fun and convenient addition. Cleaning it was also a breeze, thanks to the top rack dishwasher safe lids and BPA-free materials. However, I did experience a downside with the product - it isn't suitable for hot beverages. If you're someone who prefers drinking tea or coffee, this may not be the best option for you. Additionally, I found it slightly difficult to fit the bottle in my usual cup holders, which can be inconvenient during travel or at the gym. Overall, the Cooper Stainless Steel Water Bottle did an incredible job of keeping my drinks cold and providing a leak-proof, easy-to-clean design.

Legendary Classic Canteen - BPA-Free Stainless Steelhttps://preview.redd.it/fva5u8074r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=021a8e122aa23b47e0dbf977a9a0b77939f8066e I recently had the chance to try out the Stanley 1.1 Qt. Classic Canteen, a 18/8 stainless steel bottle that promises to be leakproof, packable, and perfect for outdoor use. At first glance, the canteen looks sleek and sturdy, with a classic design that makes it easy to hold and carry around. It comes equipped with a removeable carrying strap that keeps your hands free and adds a touch of style to the canteen. One of the standout features of this canteen is its non-insulated stainless steel material, which allows for easy packing while still offering a decent capacity for your favorite beverage. However, I found that the lack of insulation means that the canteen doesn't retain temperature as well as I would have liked. While it's fine for day-to-day use, it's not ideal for taking on long hikes or camping trips where maintaining the temperature of your drink is important. Another downside to the canteen is the attached cap, which can be a bit tricky to open and close, especially with one hand. Though I appreciate the convenience of having it attached, it would be nice if the cap were more user-friendly and easy to access. Additionally, the metal clips on the carrying strap can be quite loud when walking or hiking, which can be a bit distracting and might not be the most discreet choice for stealthily navigating through the wilderness. Despite these minor drawbacks, overall I found the Stanley 1.1 Qt. Classic Canteen to be a functional and stylish option for everyday use. It's a good choice if you're looking for a versatile water bottle that won't break the bank, but just remember to manage your expectations when it comes to insulation and noise. 🔗Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen: Triple-Insulated, Wide-Mouth Drink Container with Quick Sip Lidhttps://preview.redd.it/g8jdgja74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5900642083119fc5f56b1e9d8f8477efab04f303 The Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen boasts a spacious 950mL capacity, perfect for hydration while on the go.

Triple-insulation maintains drinks at their desired temperature for extended periods, making it an ideal choice for both hot and chilled beverages alike. A wide mouth allows for ice cube insertion, while the lid's easy-to-use one-hand opening adds practicality. Regrettably, some users have experienced issues with the lid's functionality and structure, which may prove a disadvantage for those seeking a seamless drinking experience. Nonetheless, for those seeking a durable, stylish, and functional water bottle, the Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen offers an impressive range of features. 🔗Versatile Insulated Water Bottle with Cup Lidhttps://preview.redd.it/ba7lnum74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4236dde9fc2a1109edb6d8a02ff4d627c9fb186e This Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle, aptly named "Nightfall, " has become an essential companion in my daily life. The bottle's robustness and dependability have captivated me, as my newfound favorite keeps the brew piping hot during those frigid mornings or even chills your favorite beverage during scorching summer days. One of the key features that have blown my mind is its innovative, leak-proof design. By using the twist-and-pour stopper, it ensures that my adventures are safe from any accidental mishaps involving the bottle. Moreover, the slim design makes it the perfect single-handed companion, ensuring a comfortable grip. However, there are a couple of minor nits. The lid being insulated and doubling as a cup is a fantastic idea, but I found it a tad more tedious than convenient during my first few times. Additionally, while the bottle's sturdiness won my heart, it unfortunately lacks a wider mouth, which might make it a bit more practical for my soup-loving, chunky ingredients cravings. The Stanley's performance has made me believe it's not just about the product but also about the spirit of adventure it represents - one sip at a time. Despite a few minor quirks, it's a reliable bottle worth every penny spent. 🔗Corkcicle Star Wars Darth Vader Canteen: Sleek and Stylish Insulated Travel Drink Bottlehttps://preview.redd.it/xxibmox74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6584f5a3f92b026e1f6c93d8578b4827c47490b6 Crafted in the image of the infamous Darth Vader, this Corkcicle Star Wars canteen is not just a stylish way to keep your drinks cool. The 16-ounce canteen promises to keep beverages cold for up to 25 hours or warm for 12, all thanks to its triple-insulated lining. Its stainless steel construction ensures it's not just durable but also perfect to use in any setting, be it by the pool or at the office. The canteen is equipped with a screw-on cap that prevents any liquid from escaping and keeps the temperature consistent inside. The ergonomic design and flat sides make it easy to grip, and its stay-put silicone base ensures it stays securely in your hand, avoiding any spills. My experience with this canteen has been nothing but stellar. The Star Wars design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also adds a fun touch to my everyday life. The triple-insulation keeps my beverages at their desired temperature for longer, especially during our hot summers. The cap is a great feature that prevents leaks and spills, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold. However, I wish the product was dishwasher safe as the paint tends to peel off after a few uses, which can be a bit disappointing. 🔗Premium High-Performance Goalie Blades for Enhanced Ice Skatinghttps://preview.redd.it/v6nom9a84r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47b008d8785f16fed2eb4304d81b2404921a0708 I recently tried the Step Steel St Goal Blacksteel CCM Replacement Steel - Pair, and I was blown away by its performance.
