BeerGoat reacted to WldPenguin in Impure client bs
Happens to a lot of people from time to time. Try deleting the map you were on or about to be on from your usermaps folder and let it download again.

BeerGoat reacted to Smeggie in Twas a boating weekend
Finally got out on the boat for the weekend with Mrs. Smeg and the two mutts.
Been a bad year for boating for us. Busy with work, busy with the fire department, busy with grandkids or the weather hasn't cooperated.
Hoping things will allow us to spend a bit more time in September and October.
Anyway a few photos from our weekend.
P.S. I did fish but nothing was biting (except the black flies)...

BeerGoat reacted to Ruthless in I Just stop by to say Hi!
Hey there. Many of us old crusty Unreal players came over to XI long ago. I see YoMama and others pop in from time to time to on the XI servers. I even saw Fogdog a while back though he did not talk. I still remember them all.
Amazing that COD4 is still hanging on as long as it has. It is because freeze tag is the best. The freeze tag mods are amazing. You should jump on and play with us some time.
Your UT2k4 mod was the best. Many good years playing that mod. Now you just have to put the translocator into a COD4 mod so we can SCORE!!! I miss that translocator so much... You think when people get knifed in COD4 they cry - when people would get translocated in Unreal they would lose their minds. Losing score too! That was genius (and funny).

BeerGoat reacted to RobMc in Amp hours vs reserve capacity
Things I have learned (often the hard way) about batteries in recent years
Lithium batteries are killed by the cold, don't buy for your vehicles if you live in cold climates
A good make lead acid battery should last 8-10 years, gel batteries only last 2-3 years in normal use
Batteries that need to be constantly recharged (deep cycle) again only last 2-3 years in normal use, there is a limit to the amount of recharges they will take. I am currently experimenting with carbon gel batteries (not cheap) more power, more charges, and I hope for at least 5 years.
Batteries are damaged if constantly run down to less than 50% before recharging ( electric cars ???) lead acid sulphate and deep cycle lose charging capacity.
Deep cycle do not achieve full capacity until after a few charges.
Gel are better for most purposes than AGM
I have now installed voltmeters (rather than ammeters) on electric battery machine 'draws' as this gives the best indication on when you are running into trouble, provided you research your type of battery.
Batteries are a complex subject, do your research before buying, your average car battery is not good for some purposes.
MAKE SURE YOUR CHARGER IS SUITABLE FOR THE TYPE OF BATTERY BEING CHARGED - otherwise you'll kill them
Lithium batteries once fully discharged cannot be recovered (at least with present tech), they need a special charger too.
Lead acid (and to some degree AGM/Gel) if fully discharged and sulphated it may be possible with a smart charger to recover, but their life will suffer compared to a well maintained battery.
If you don't use batteries regularly (motorcycles, jet skis etc) invest in a smart charger that will maintain the battery, especially in cold climates.
Cold is the enemy of every battery currently in normal use.
