Have A Question? V2

[Saikou]

The Monstercat Podcast.

 

Yup.

[t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m]

Is my head supposed to feel lumpy? I've never been bald, but whenever I rub the top of my head it feels like I'm rubbing Rocky Dennis' face.

[Shaundi.]

Is there a website where I can search for phone numbers? Australian phone numbers to be specific. One called me three days ago and again today & hung up two seconds later which seemed suspicious...

[gtamann123]

Yeah heads are usually pretty bumpy. I have my head shaven pretty short almost all the time these days and when I rub my head its fairly bumpy

[Xboxless]

It is what it is.

 

There's connections between the main sections of the bones inside your head can form in weird ways. I dunno what to say yours just formed in a lumpy way. I've seen people with weird cones at the top of their head. So yeah!!

[THE GHETTO JEZUS]

I'm not sure how to ask this question, so I'll just post it here.

 

To the mods, whats of the amount of warning points I currently have ? With my calculations I have a bit over 2000 and I'm pretty sure that isn't right. Like if I get one more warning points, does that mean I will get a PB again ? Or is it just glitching and I'm at 0 like most members here ?

If you're with Telstra try *10# it will redial the last number that called you or *69 for Optus. Otherwise call your phone company and ask then to redial it for you or block it.

 

What are the rest of the lyrics to this song? Literally the only part I can make out is "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey" and "go airborne".

It's pretty much just "Na na na na hey hey you're airbourne" then "jump week y'all" as well as "tower week y'all"

The basic airbourne course is split into three weeks "tower week", "ground week" and "jump week".

Ground Week is the first week and involves the soldiers pretty much jumping using a static line and learning how to land on the ground safely without wrecking or injuring yourself. They normally jump from the height of a two storey building.

Tower Week is the second week the soldiers then move onto high towers and jump of them, I think the towers 35 feet or something. Anyways it teaches them emergency procedures, parachute malfunctions and mass exits amongst other skills.

The final week is called Jump Week, where the soldiers have to complete 5 real jumps including a nighttime jump from a C-130 or C-17 in order to graduate and pass the course. Normally graduation takes place on the Friday of Jump Week.

That was for 15 months worth of work.

Well, I wonder how much they paid Ned Luke for Michael's voice acting.

^Are you incapable of noticing the comment above you stating the same thing lololol, jk.

 

I have a question.... you know how you sell your books once you're done with them after you finish a class in college/uni. My friend wants to borrow one of my old ones that I haven't sold and I was wondering if it would be a dick-move to make her at least pay some amount to borrow it or not?

 

 

Voodoo is a ninja, can't fault me for not noticing him.

 

Also, don't be a dick to your friend.

 

I'm too afraid to ask these types of things anyway to people so I'm just letting her borrow it. :3

Hi guys. Can someone recommend me some good ''stealth'' PC games? I'm actually looking for the game which has hiding and/or stealth as main objectives. FPS or 3PS, doesn't really matter. As an example, something similar to Project I.G.I. or Commando Strike Force (those two are military themed, yes, but I'm not necessarily looking for military themed PC games.)

Hitman: Absolution. I don't know if it's on PC, though.

[sivispacem]

It is but it isn't very good.

[Nlwt]

I suppose no one will know the answer for definite but I'm just looking for peace of mind really.

 

I was driving along a 30mph road at roughly 35mph (according to the speedo) until I noticed one of those mobile speed cameras around the bend. As soon as I saw it, I slowed down to 30mph immediately but any damage would have probably have been done by then. I was just wondering would I be prosecuted for this? Not sure what percentage for error they give you (think it's around 10%) but I'm not sure.

I read online that if you cover your license plate with skateboard grip tape, it will come out as a blur on camera because of the light reflecting off of it. I'm not sure if this is true or not, though.

Dishonored, Thief, (apparently the older ones are better) Splinter cell as well, maybe.

Depends on what margin of error is programmed in to the camera, but some people say that the speedometer in cars are also misleading and can sometimes show a higher speed than you are actually doing. That probably varies from car to car but if you're lucky the speedo might have showed 5% too much and then if the camera knocked of 10% more you might be in the clear. Who knows, you'll just have to wait and see if the envelope appears in your mailbox or however they do it where you are from.

Well it's too late for that and either way that might be more illegal than speeding is. There are lots of things that are supposed to obscure your plate to cameras and although it depends massively on the camera itself, lighting, weather, angle, etc, Mythbusters said that none of them work. Anything that you use to make yourself invisible to cameras also has to be invisible enough not to be spotted by any police cars you meet on the street and I don't think that combination exists yet. Not that I care, it's easier to just slow down.

Oh yeah...That works, I guess. Just sell it after she's done with it? Win-win?

Yeah I forgot to add that speedos aren't 100% accurate and that's why they normally give you 2mph for that and then a 10%. If this is the case on this instance, I should be in the clear. There was also one of these things right infront of me going faster than me.

 

 

@YoloSwaggings: There's always next time eh. I'd never do anything like that because I'm always bound to get caught.

You won't get done for 5MPH. In my experience it is nearly always 10 and above.

[gtamann123]

I know someone that got ticketed going 2 mph over the speed limit. I can't really speak from experience but it seems to be that the general rule of thumb is 5-10 over your ok. Unless the cops in the area are real hardasses or its the end of the month and they have quotas to make

[sivispacem]

Its generally 10% +2mph in the UK so 35 in a 30 is usually the point at which the cameras are triggered. All the various methods to disrupt photography are useless and can get you in far more trouble for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

[gtamann123]

My state doesnt have traffic cameras so it all up to the cop's discretion. Which some people say is a good thing but I dont belive so because cops can be so inconsistent. I would rather have a camera that kicks on at a certain speed over the limit every single time than a cop who can let you go doing 20 over on a good day or can ticket you going 1 over if hes having a bad day.

Oh yeah I never would do. I'd be too afraid of ever getting caught anyway. I'm not even a fast driver, I was only overtaking some knobhead on a bike that was pulling over but even that can't justify it in their eyes. Will just have to be a nervy couple of weeks.

 

EDIT: Found out that the camera has to get your full lisence plate in the image according to my mum who works for the Police so it looks like I'm free with that. Cheers guys.

[sivispacem]

Oddly, there are several sets of guidelines endorsed by different UK police forces that seem to suggest (though don't outright claim) that brief, limited breaching of the speed limit is acceptable under certain circumstances, such as performing safe overtakes or emergency maneuvers. Not that a camera can tell that kind of thing...

[Nlwt]

Yeah there's all sorts of rules and guidelines. Too many for the general public to keep up with anyway. It's funny, my friend was worried that he got done yesterday as there was a traffic police car at the side of the road with its lights flashing and he drove past that at about 37mph but I would have thought if he was monitoring people's speeds he wouldn't have his lights flashing no?

Hit "Ascending" next to "Descending" on the Member's Content page and you should be golden.

I do but then it doesn't show all, just oldest ones, and descending shows newest ones.

You have to hit either "Only Topics" or "Only Posts".
