UCS Venator from ebay
2024.06.01 13:10 FriendSalty2744 UCS Venator from ebay
 | This is my 3rd alt brick set, but my first UCS set. I got this from a. seller on ebay who has alt bricks as well as mocks. I wasn’t aware of this subreddit when i got this, so it was definitely overpriced (£240) compared to youmko or marstoy. The build is going great. The pieces are good quality, and the minifigs don’t look horrible as well. I am not done building yet, but i will do a full reviews when I’m done! submitted by FriendSalty2744 to lepin [link] [comments] Seller details: https://www.ebay.co.uk/stastonandspencertoys?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vVw2bpQcQiy&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=gwlyvpjgr7k&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY |
2024.06.01 13:10 No-Debate2873 The Pandering Brown Sisters Still Grifting
 | After a faulty start setting up a charitable tax-exempt organization in their deceased sister’s name, to support domestic abuse victims in late 1994, the Browns had appointed at the helm to run it a convicted violent domestic abuser and swindler. A 1995 Los Angeles Times article cited that….”the founding president of the Nicole Brown Simpson fund, records show, is a convicted felon and accused spousal batterer, who was once named in a domestic restraining order for posing a “clear and present danger” to his estranged wife and two children. Jeff C. Noebel, a 40-year-old Dallas businessman, is currently awaiting sentencing in U.S. District Court for lying to federal authorities in a savings-and-loan investment scam, one of his many shaky business ventures that have left a trail of bankruptcies and lawsuits from Texas to California.” Yet, the Browns pretended they did not know his background though Noebel stated that he had told them about the abuse charges, apparently his silver tongue offer to build them a successful, donation-seeking, organization was too juicy for the Brown family to pass up. submitted by No-Debate2873 to ojsimpsondidntdoit [link] [comments] Yet, here we go again, the Brown sisters grifting during the 30th anniversary month of the OJ Simpson case in conjunction with the Lifetime cable network with the two-night streaming of The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson. It should be an interesting dichotomy, since for 30 years someone has been lying. The father, Louis Brown, stated to the police detectives and later coroner’s investigator less than 12 hours after the murders occurred that his daughter, Nicole Brown Simpson, was last known to be alive the night before at 11PM talking to her mother, Juditha Brown, regarding glasses left behind by the mother at Brentwood’s Mezzaluna restaurant. Two days later the mother would give the same time on two different occasions, first to the Simpson defense investigators, and then after they told Attorney Robert Shapiro, he would ask her himself what time that last call took place. Juditha Brown would tell Shapiro the same thing, that she talked to Nicole at 11PM on or about June 16, 1994. When Shapiro asked how she knew it was 11PM she stated that when she arrived home from Brentwood that night she checked the clock and it said 11PM. However, within 7 months the 11PM last call would be changed, in another flim-flam slid past all of the American viewers whose attention was generally diverted to some tabloid unrelated event outside the courtroom. The time of the last phone call was changed in a low-key stipulation entered in open court and offered surprisingly by the defense team’s Robert Shapiro. He was now agreeing to accept a new time of 09:37 PM as the last call shown on an exhibit document, the Exhibit 35 POSTERBOARD claimed to represent the phone calls of Juditha Brown. The importance of the stipulation in California is that by their long-established state law it allows the evidence to circumvent examination by a jury. This may be one of the most important tools to allow that state to have their notable celebrity show trials. Supposedly, all times on the Posterboard were accepted by Shapiro as his covering excuse to speed the case along since the Simpson defense lawyer was posturing that the prosecution witness, Karen Crawford, Mezzaluna weekend manager and bartender, could not accurately be certain of the final time anyway. So, the defense would simply accept the times shown on the posterboard, including the alleged phone call from Juditha Brown at 9:37 PM as seen in the blown-up section provided above. Defense lawyer Johnnie Cochran would do the same 5 months later and leave tell-tale evidence of their cooperative malfeasance as shown in the following video clip. https://youtu.be/Bk3Muy_MgJA?si=rDrtYy84pmfjapE0. This video clip of Cochran stumped OMIG investigators for about 7 years as to why he would enter what appears to be a false stipulation, until realizing based on other information that the Simpson trial and its malfeasance was to be utilized by Cochran for a more important trial he had lost where an innocent man, that was his client, would spend almost 29 years of his life behind bars as a result of Cochran’s naivety until Cochran could maneuver his release. 11 PM is important to this case because it places OJ Simpson in the backseat of a chauffeured limousine on its way to LAX for him to catch an 11:45 PM flight to Chicago while his ex-wife was still alive. The waitress, Tia Gavin, stated that the Brown party departed the Mezzaluna restaurant at around 8:45 PM, and now the last phone call from the Brown home in Dana Point, Orange County was at 09:37 PM approximately 52 minutes after departing Brentwood in West Los Angeles. Everyone, i.e. news commentators, highway patrolmen are on tape saying the distance was a 90 minute to two-hour drive between Brentwood and Dana Point, Orange County. This includes the two lead LAPD detectives, Phil Vannatter and Tom Lange, who stated in their book EVIDENCE DISMISSED below, that the drive was at least an hour and a half drive. Since two of the Brown sisters were in the car on that fateful drive back home that night from L.A.’s Brentwood to Dana Point, someone is lying, and it certainly does not appear to be our side since all of the evidence appears to support our findings that the Brown family did not arrive home in approximately 45+ minutes. The highway data regarding traffic volume and density due to highway construction to build the HOV lane imply more like a 2-hour drive. This is what the data indicates the drive home for the Browns looked like on the southbound I-405 the night of June 12, 1994 between the hour of their departure from Brentwood between 8-9PM. We at OMIG predict that the truth is going to ultimately catch up to all of these charlatans and grifters and expose them for this reckless and dangerous lie that they have placed before the public for the last 30 years sucking up all oxygen in the media space. The phone records were removed by court order from the Simpson case file to continue this lie so that the records could not be examined. However, these corrupt officials beyond the Brown sisters have continued to conceal the truth. Several people pull this angelic cloak off of their unfortunate deceased sister, Nicole. Even Kato Kaelin, who Nicole invited to move into her pool guest house on Gretna Green before moving over to her condo on Bundy spoke in his book about Nicole throwing drug parties, where the party goers were making a bee-line upstairs, going up and down to the point Kato asked why. Someone pulled his coat during his recent meeting of Nicole as an invited guest to her party and told him “That’s where the cocaine is”. Kato who resided a year with Nicole and her children, would go on to state in his book that he witnessed Nicole becoming very belligerent and out of control when drinking too much tequila when out in social settings. Having to have the keys wrestled away by her girlfriends from preventing her being a drunk driver on the streets and highways. On one occasion it became so embarrassing with her being out of control that he simply left the gathering, which appeared to be par for the course for the Mousey looking house guest. He also accused Nicole the obsessive party gal of being a chain smoker; hence, he undermines the pristine image that the prissy Brown sister-grifters seem to be attempting to portray in all probability for the sake of making a dollar once again. They knew that the so-called Bruno Magli shoe prints found in the sidewalk tiles did not fit Simpson’s foot, so they have attempted to conceal that until OMIG investigators examined the police photos and attained verification that the sidewalk tiles were only 11- and 1/2-inches square. Because OMIG investigators stood firm during an interview with former FBI agents that one of their peers had lied about his true knowledge concerning Simpson’s foot in those size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, they in turn called back and provided OMIG with 53 pounds of documents some of which was associated directly with the Simpson trial indicating that the agent, Roger Martz, had been lying and committing perjury as it related to the blood the FBI lab was asked to examine. He wrote a letter back to the LADA’s office and the deputy DA who had asked for their help, Rockne Harmon, telling them that he, Roger Martz, had completed an examination of the blood samples of Simpson found on the back gate and blood of Nicole found on socks on Simpson’s bedroom floor. Martz said that he could find no contamination with the blood preservative EDTA. It appears that Martz lied, and was called out for his lies by other FBI examiners in the lab in a complaint filed with the Office of the Inspector General of the USDOJ. That document, entitled by OMIG as the Whitehurst Complaint due to the author who filed it, former FBI Agent Frederic Whitehurst, became a hidden document as well one in which OMIG has filed at least 3 Freedom of Information Requests to attain from the Office of the Inspector General. This all is predictably going to unravel, and exposes the weakness of using the Brown sisters to promote a false narrative with its subtle yet powerful racial undertones to the detriment of so many more important events that have taken place over the last 30 years. This promulgation simply exposes the recklessness in doing something like that by exposing the soft underbelly of vulnerability as a national security threat to the nation by providing a cheap and cost effective tool to weaponize to fragment and polarize a nation, with that being the use of racial animus to create national mass hysteria. |
2024.06.01 13:10 Enderking90 [Online] [PF1E] [GMT +3] a player with some experience with PF 1E is looking to play it more and learn more.
greetings! as said in the title, I'm craving to experience playing more 1st edition of pathfinder.
I'm 21+ in terms of age, and when it comes to familiarity with the system is... well, I'm more or less familiar with it? though there's still a lot for me to really learn.
in terms of time, I've been playing for like couple of years it now in a couple of games? beyond that, my TTRPG familiarity is largely with 5E which I've played for handful of years now.
in terms of gameplay, I prefer a mix of combat and RP, with a bit of a leaning to combat.
when it comes to the setting, I generally like the usual medieval fantasy-ish, high magic stuff. y'know, basic stuff. not that I'm not down for other stuff, mind you.
as for time slot wise, I'm paradoxically actually way more busy during the weekend then during the weekday.
for like, the lines and veils stuff, I don't really have anything that eeks me out or like that? closest is maybe like... graphic eye mutilation? idk.
oh, and I'm a guy, he/him? I guess that's something to mention?
honestly I am not good at self-introductions, never have been, so sorry about the sub-par quality... but if there's anything that's left unclear, I'd be more then happy to answer any and all questions you might have?

2024.06.01 13:07 madrasi2021 AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) Resources
Every single day there is a question from someone here saying "where do I start for AWS Solutions Architect Associate" when there are a few hundred articles from those who passed already.
So here is a master list of resources to help those who have this question.
If you find this post useful - upvote. I am happy to take feedback / suggestions / changes etc - please comment!
Link : https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/search/?q=saa+solutions+architect+associate+pass&type=link&t=month
The exam code is SAA-C03
AWS page with all the details : https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-solutions-architect-associate/
Always read the Exam Guide (tells you whats in / out of scope) : https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-assoc/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Associate_Exam-Guide.pdf
Also note - you do NOT need more than 1 of each category. You can buy more than one practice exam for sure but doing one is enough IMHO.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14760/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03
Optional : There is a slightly extended version of this in the paid tier with additional exam-style questions, flashcards and more importantly FREE hands on labs and the official practice exam.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14776/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-with-practice-material
There is a 7 day (extended to 10 days sometimes) free trial for the paid tier which can help you cram this. You can subscribe, immediately cancel but still enjoy 7 days free.
Please note that this course is not enough on its own to pass and you may want to try additional material below.
YouTube based video course
This course below is a better alternative to the SkillBuilder course above but is about 50 hours.
Andrew Brown is an AWS community hero who runs his own training site called exampro.co but offers most of the material for free on FreeCodeCamp's YouTube channel.
The 2024 refresh of the SAA course is here : https://youtu.be/c3Cn4xYfxJY
Andrew also has additional (free / paid) content on his site to check out.
Adrian Cantrill is an independent content creator and has his own site from where you can obtain courses.
His courses go above and beyond what the exam needs and this is exactly why the community loves these courses as you get more practical knowledge than just cramming for the exam. The additional coverage means these courses are longer and not as cheap as other courses that cover just the exam material but in the general opinion of everyone who has taken the course it is absolutely worth it.
Link : https://learn.cantrill.io/
Udemy Courses :
Udemy is a marketplace for courses created by independent authors.
Two of the well known authors are mentioned below but please note that Udemy's pricing model can be a bit weird. One day it may show 150 USD for a course and another day 15 USD. This price it high and discount it heavily model catches out most people - so NEVER pay more than USD 20 for anything on Udemy.
Just wait for a day or so and prices may change. Opening Udemy in another incognito browser etc usually yields a different price or follow the authors on social media for codes that shrink the cost.
Stephane Maarek :
Go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/ for links to his Solutions Architect Associate with the best available coupon.
Neil Davis :
https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Either one of these Udemy courses is sufficient. You still need to combine it with practice exams but you do not need more than 1 video course.
Other sites :
Exampro.co
As mentioned above Andrew Brown has his own site with additional material over his YouTube course.

WAF - Well Architected Framework
https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
You need to know at some decent depth on what the pillars are and what they do.
Read the whitpapers from https://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/
Specifically I found the Reliability and Cost Optimization white papers very useful.
Free :
AWS skillbuilder has one free official exam with just 20 free questions.
To be honest its not really worth it - you can search for "Official practic exam skillbuilder SAA-C03" using your favourite search engine to find it.
exampro.co

I will update this section soon with some additional guidance soon as I am not happy yet (please let me know in comments if there are key additional coverage I should include) - I am scouring recent exam pass posts to see whats current and also want to add links to re:Invent 2023 announcements. I also am thinking of adding in links to "cheat sheets" / docs - let me know if this would be useful.WAF - Well Architected Framework

Not Recommended sites :
Sites that are sadly NOT recommended anymore - Avoid A Cloud Guru / Pluralsight as their courses are not considered the best anymore. They used to be leaders but somehow have fallen behind and their subscription model doesnt work in a world with cheap one time purchase courses.If you want a sandbox to experiment - then ACG offers one but so do Whizlabs and Tutorialsdojo.
Optional / Complementary material
I have an article where you can find complementary / alternatives to the Solutions Architect Exam - most are free and includes the "AWS Knowledge : Architecting Free Digital Badge"https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/comments/1d1o522/no_payment_options_to_learn_aws_with_digital/
This material isnt exam focused but if you want some free alternatives / cannot afford to pay for the exam - then check out the link.
FAQ
- Do I need ALL this material
- Do I really need to do hands on work
If you are
- Where can I find vouchers for the exam
- Can I cheat my way using Dumps that I found online / my mate gave me / found on GitHub / YouTube?
- Can I pass with just free resources as I cannot afford the resources
- I skipped CCP / CLF - is that okay
- Can someone who is new to IT do this exam
- Is it worth it?
- I dont code or want to - is this course for me?
- Can I use ChatGPT / Amazon Q etc to learn
- Are there books to learn from
However there is an official Sybex Guide to the exam and tutorialsdojo / Neal Davis (Digital Cloud) also have an ebook. You can google for links to these.
Good Luck folks!
2024.06.01 13:07 Enderking90 [Online] [PF1E] [GMT +3] a player with some experience with PF 1E is looking to play it more and learn more.
greetings! as said in the title, I'm craving to experience playing more 1st edition of pathfinder.
I'm 21+ in terms of age, and when it comes to familiarity with the system is... well, I'm more or less familiar with it? though there's still a lot for me to really learn.
in terms of time, I've been playing for like couple of years it now in a couple of games? beyond that, my TTRPG familiarity is largely with 5E which I've played for handful of years now.
in terms of gameplay, I prefer a mix of combat and RP, with a bit of a leaning to combat.
when it comes to the setting, I generally like the usual medieval fantasy-ish, high magic stuff. y'know, basic stuff. not that I'm not down for other stuff, mind you.
as for time slot wise, I'm paradoxically actually way more busy during the weekend then during the weekday.
for like, the lines and veils stuff, I don't really have anything that eeks me out or like that? closest is maybe like... graphic eye mutilation? idk.
oh, and I'm a guy, he/him? I guess that's something to mention?
honestly I am not good at self-introductions, never have been, so sorry about the sub-par quality... but if there's anything that's left unclear, I'd be more then happy to answer any and all questions you might have?

2024.06.01 13:02 ACuriousBagel Up to date/Custom Ship Builder tool?
I was trying to use the standard suip builder:
https://tswift.gitlab.io/stfx
To try out something different, but they don't have the Acheron Battlecruiser in there, and there aren't any ships with the same slot distribution.
Is there a tool out there that is either fully up to date, or that allows you to select how many small/medium/large slots you're using (even if it thinks it would be an invalid setup).
For the time being, what I'm doing is setting the ship builder to Dreadnought Battlecarrier, making the 4 extra medium slots into cargo so I don't forget that they wouldn't be there on an Acheron, and writing down the differences on paper so I can check Mass/Defence/Craft Dodge. It's not an ideal solution though, especially not to refer to later if I do build it in game.

To try out something different, but they don't have the Acheron Battlecruiser in there, and there aren't any ships with the same slot distribution.
Is there a tool out there that is either fully up to date, or that allows you to select how many small/medium/large slots you're using (even if it thinks it would be an invalid setup).
For the time being, what I'm doing is setting the ship builder to Dreadnought Battlecarrier, making the 4 extra medium slots into cargo so I don't forget that they wouldn't be there on an Acheron, and writing down the differences on paper so I can check Mass/Defence/Craft Dodge. It's not an ideal solution though, especially not to refer to later if I do build it in game.
2024.06.01 13:02 Prince_Targaryen I'm set to inherit two houses and a few expensive antique vehicles. I have no idea how to assess my financial situation
Hello all, first off thanks for any and all input!
I'm in my mid 20's, and I have no real experience with money or fiances or financial planning. Like most people, I'm a paycheck to paycheck type dude. With a pretty small savings account
And I don't really own any assets or anything of value
But I'm set to inherit two homes. One that's fully paid off, and one that is going to have a mortgage left over. The mortgage is approximately 100k, or about 1/4 of the properties value
And I'm also set to inherit a small handful of antique cars (Mustangs from the 1960's, all in pretty good shape and in driving condition.)
And I just have no clue where to start, in terms of having these assets potentially propel me into a more comfortable life for myself.
Obviously I know I can sell the cars, and pocket the money.
I also plan to hire property managers, and rent out the two homes and pocket the rent money. I figure that's probably a safer bet than me selling the homes. I'd rather have a fishing poll than a fish.
But besides that, what else can & should I do? How do I maximize the benefits of these assets?
Also, what exactly is Net Worth? From what I understand, it's how much you are worth in terms of assets
If that's the case, is my net worth the total value of the two homes, the cars, and any other assets I have?
If that's the case, are there anyways in life that my net worth can help or benefit me? Even though that value doesn't represent the exact amount of money I have?
Thanks again for any advice, I'm not smart about this stuff

Charts and time frames are the foundation of technical analysis. A chart is a graphical representation of a security's price action over a specific period. Time frames, on the other hand, refer to the duration of the data displayed on the chart. In other words, time frames determine how much data is displayed on the chart and how often the data is updated.Types of Charts
There are several types of charts, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The most common types of charts are:1. Line Chart: A line chart connects the closing prices of a security over a specific period, creating a continuous line. This chart is useful for identifying trends and patterns.
2. Candlestick Chart: A candlestick chart displays the high, low, open, and close prices of a security over a specific period. Each candle represents a specific time period, and the color of the candle indicates whether the price closed higher or lower than the previous day's close.
3. Bar Chart: A bar chart is similar to a candlestick chart but does not display the open and close prices. Instead, it shows the high and low prices, as well as the open and close prices.
4. Renko Chart: A Renko chart is a type of chart that uses a unique algorithm to create a chart that is not based on time. Instead, it uses price movements to create a chart that is more focused on the price action.
Time Frames
Time frames determine the duration of the data displayed on the chart. Common time frames include:1. 1-minute: A 1-minute chart displays the price action over a 1-minute period.
2. 5-minute: A 5-minute chart displays the price action over a 5-minute period.
3. 15-minute A 15-minute chart displays the price action over a 15-minute period.
4. 30-minute: A 30-minute chart displays the price action over a 30-minute period.
5. 1-hour: A 1-hour chart displays the price action over a 1-hour period.
6. 4-hour: A 4-hour chart displays the price action over a 4-hour period.
7. Daily: A daily chart displays the price action over a 1-day period.
8. Weekly: A weekly chart displays the price action over a 1-week period.
9. Monthly: A monthly chart displays the price action over a 1-month period.

2024.06.01 12:53 Goombybonk [M4A] Looking for a story set in the 70's
Hi!
I'm a 29 year old guy who has been role-playing for just over ten years. I love descriptive, deep and interesting roleplays.
I have always had a fascination with America in the 70's. I love movies set and from that time period. The cars, fashion, buildings, culture, the whole vibe and feel.
It's an absolute long shot but I want to try out something in that era, preferably leaning towards romance.
We could be anything here, I don't mind. From two people going on a first date, all the way to new Detective partners. Maybe a road trip? Let's discuss together.
Who will I be? I often like playing as myself, at the very least, the description of myself. I have done always as I think it best sets me in the emersion. Who you are and what you look like is up to you. From your own physical description to a reference, I'm happy.
I like playing in first person and present tense, I really enjoy being descriptive and try my best to send a good paragraph, I'm looking for someone who enjoys the same. Please stand out in your opening message!
If any of this interests you, please message via Reddit chat or inbox. Make sure to write a little bit of what you'd like, who you are and such. No just 'hey' please. If I feel we click I'll happily give my discord.

I have always had a fascination with America in the 70's. I love movies set and from that time period. The cars, fashion, buildings, culture, the whole vibe and feel.
It's an absolute long shot but I want to try out something in that era, preferably leaning towards romance.
We could be anything here, I don't mind. From two people going on a first date, all the way to new Detective partners. Maybe a road trip? Let's discuss together.
Who will I be? I often like playing as myself, at the very least, the description of myself. I have done always as I think it best sets me in the emersion. Who you are and what you look like is up to you. From your own physical description to a reference, I'm happy.
I like playing in first person and present tense, I really enjoy being descriptive and try my best to send a good paragraph, I'm looking for someone who enjoys the same. Please stand out in your opening message!
If any of this interests you, please message via Reddit chat or inbox. Make sure to write a little bit of what you'd like, who you are and such. No just 'hey' please. If I feel we click I'll happily give my discord.
2024.06.01 12:45 rascian038 Where can you find ground clearance and breakover angle data for most cars?
I have a somewhat steep garage pathway of about 12.7 degrees and although the garage itself is long enough, the pathway is giving me headaches, because I can't figure out what cars can and can't cross it.
I currently have a tiny VW Lupo with some 13, 14cm clearance, so it can cross the pathway easily, but I want something larger like a C or D segment car, however that brings the breakover angle issue. If I get something like an A4 sedan, especially with sport suspension, it will probably get stuck on the ramp and I'll get an expensive swing set.
Alternatively I could get an SUV, but since I am from east Europe and I have a bunch of other expenses, I can't justify buying anything recent and most suv's around 2008 - 2012 period are not something you would turn around to look at once you get out of it, especially more affordable ones like first gen Peugeot crossovers.
I'm kinda into Seat Leon 3's at the moment, but although they aren't that long, they usually have sport suspensions in the FR trim, which I'm not sure whether also lowers the clearance or not, so that could once again give the breakover angle issues and I can't find any reliable data.

2024.06.01 12:42 ashareif My review of 24 Byredo fragrance: la grande decouvérte discovery set.
https://imgur.com/a/JmNWrr1
I got the limited edition Byredo la grande decouvérte discovery set and it contains 24 fragrances. You pay around 200 euros and you get a 170 euro voucher to spend on a bottle of your choice. I think it's a great deal because you're only paying 30 euros for 24 x 2ml samples. I didn't think Byredo would be this generous TBH.
I quite enjoyed the fragrances in general. Most of them are on the minimal clean side, which is no surprise that all the stockholm girlies are rocking Byredo. It's true though that the longevity is below average on most of these fragrance which is shame given the fact that it's quite an expensive house. This could however work for some people who like more subtle fragrances.
Here is a quick review of all of them, from my favorites to least favorite:
Black Saffron: I think I'll be using the code to purchase a 50ml of Black Saffron. It's definitely one of the stronger ones (by no means great performance either). It's sharp and polished upon frist spray and you can smell a clean leather. Then it becoems a little sweeter in the dry down while retaining that clean leathery note.
Animalique: Another banger from Byredo! It's comforting leathery, clean and becomes powdery sweet in the dry down. Quite unique and really stands out. Good performance too.
De los santos: For all my Santal 33 lover, you should check this one out. It has some resemblance to S33 but it's more subtle. It's very serene and relaxing. It's not smokey like the name would suggest. I imagine this one on someone wearing linen clothes in the summer.
Super cedar: a sweet molecule fragrance. Ambroxan-forward. In the same family as Molecule 02 and Another 13 by Le labo. definitely up there in the list but Molecule 02 gives the same effect for less.
Bal d'afrique: everyone and there mother in Sweden wears Bal d'afrique and I understand why. It's woody, citrusy, sweet, powdery, clean all at the same time. It's a great amalgamation of notes and this would work in any situation. Nothing ground-breaking but I understand the hype. Do I even need to say it? the longevity is subpar.
Gypsy water: Sweet woody vanilla with a woodsy green background. Great fragrance and it reminded me a bit of Eau duelle from Diptyque.
Mojave ghost: Shampooey clean fragrance that smells really nice but it is fleeting. gone in an hour or two. Even though it smells nice, I think you could get a similar fragrance for under $50.
Bibliothèque: On the opening it remind me of middle eastern fragrances. Rosey and woody. In the dry down it becomes a fruity sweet fragrance with the plum being very prominent. This can give headaches because I found it quite strong.
Blanche: My favorite from the fresh fragrances. Fitting name, fresh sheets and laundry. Versatile.
Sundazed: Bitter citrus, fresh juicy, neroli and soapy.
Young rose: Citrus opening, then becomes floral and sweet in the dry down. Clean girl aesthetic.
Flowerhead: Garden with roses. Clean floral and it reminds me of my grandma, in a good way. Because she loves Omnia Bvlgari and it gives me a similar vibe.
........ Warning! It goes downhill from here.
Rose of no man's land: A dark rose. A bit generic imo because the DNA is very similar to other rose fragrances.
Inflorescence: Clean citrus. Boring, thank you next.
La tulipe: Clean floral green and boring.
Sunday cologne: Vetiver earthy masculine. Very designery. Not worth the price tag at all.
Mumbai rose: Dubai is the first word that came to my mind. sweet, spicy oudy and bitter espresso. Nothing new.
Rose noir: Sharp, dark, floral, herbal.
Slow dance: Spicy, sharp, old. BAD. No no
Oud immortel: Spicy dry middle eastern oud. It's no for me. Simply because it's not my style and this DNA is so common.
Eleventh hour: Alcoholy sweet with a spicy background. This is not it.
Mixed emotions: I wish I had mixed emotions towards this fragrance but no. I despise this fragrance. Acidic, smells like alcohol and dirty herbs.
Eyes closed: Remember the cinnamon challenge from years ago? This is exactly what it feel like. Imagine someone throwing a handfull of cloves and cinnamon powder at you. Pungent.
1996: The worst imo. A dry, burnt woody sauna. Suffocating.
Do I think the discovery set is worth it?
YES definitely. because the ones that smelled good were so worth it in my opinion. and the ones that I disliked could be someone else's favorite since we all have different tastes when it comes to fragrances. It was a pleasant olfactory experience.

This sight is a real statement piece that adds a touch of class and sophistication to any gun. The tang sight design is both classic and functional, allowing for quick and precise targeting. What stood out to me was the build quality of the Uberti, which is sturdy and solid. The black finish not only complements the design but also helps to reduce glare, making it a reliable choice for hunting or shooting under various lighting conditions. However, I did find that at a distance, the sight struggled to stay focused at times. This could be an issue with my own eyesight, but it was noticeable enough to warrant mention. Overall, the Uberti 1873 Tang Sight Rear Sight in black is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish rear sight. Just keep in mind the potential focus issues at long distances, and you'll be good to go. 🔗Snag-Free White Gold Bead Front Sight for Colt Python and Anacondahttps://preview.redd.it/w2w0loapux3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1357a4382f345d53ab39cf7fdaf70c7dee9202fe When I first laid my eyes on the Snag Free Front Sight White Gold Bead Colt Python/Anaconda, I was immediately drawn to its gleaming white gold finish. This unique bead not only adds an elegant touch to the overall design but also ensures a snag-free shooting experience. The bead sits snugly within the outline of the sight, providing a clean and streamlined appearance. During my time with this sight, I quickly came to appreciate its durability and the ease with which it blends in with the surroundings, promoting a more accurate focus and shot placement. However, I also noticed that its height, at. 310, may not be suitable for all users, especially those with specific preferences for sight height. Despite this minor drawback, I found the Snag Free Front Sight White Gold Bead Colt Python/Anaconda to be a valuable addition to any Colt Python or Anaconda user's toolkit, providing both style and functionality without compromising on quality or performance.

Reviews🔗Adjustable Retention IWB Holster for 1911 Red Dot Optic Cuthttps://preview.redd.it/mdonfkhvtx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33eae95f494402493bb0b8e9e0e0d3bb2251e38e I recently tried the "1911 5" Government 45ACP with Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut IWB Holster" in my daily life. This holster, made from Kydex material, is specifically designed for the 1911 5" Government 45ACP with Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut. The first positive aspect I noticed was that it's not too flashy, so you can keep your firearm close to your body without drawing too much attention. The material is durable and doesn't flex easily, meaning you can trust it to protect your firearm and keep it secure when it's needed most. However, one downside I experienced was that it took some time to adjust the holster to my personal comfort level. Although the retention is adjustable, it took a fair amount of time to find the right setting. Additionally, the holster is designed for specific gun configurations, so if you don't fit the description perfectly, it might not fit your firearm as securely as you'd like. Overall, I found the "1911 5" Government 45ACP with Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut IWB Holster" to be a decent choice, but it's important to note that it might not be perfect for everyone. If you're looking for a versatile and reliable holster for your specific 1911 5" Government 45ACP with Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut, then this might be the right option for you. But if you're looking for something with more adjustability and a more universal fit, you might want to explore other options. 🔗Adjustable Retention OWB Holster for 1911 5" Government Red Dot Optic Cut Constitutional Carry Lefthttps://preview.redd.it/db9hazvvtx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f4373f91ae0485bcfa6ea322f04c964ef5566cf As a seasoned firearm enthusiast, I've tried out many holsters in my time. Recently, I had the opportunity to give the 1911 5" Government No Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut OWB Holster a spin, and I must say, it was quite an experience. The holster's design caught my attention right away, with its patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme. It's a bit unconventional, but it certainly stands out. Made of durable Kydex, the holster seemed well-constructed and reliable. The adjustable retention system allowed me to set the tension to my personal preference, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the fit wasn't perfect for my 1911. As someone who values a snug and secure holster, I found that this particular model left a lot to be desired. The tension was too loose, which caused the holster to flop around when I tried to draw my firearm. Additionally, the design of the belt clip didn't sit right on my waistband, making it difficult to draw without accidentally unholstering the gun. On the plus side, the sweat guard was a nice touch, preventing any contact between the gun and my body. I also liked that the clip could be adjusted up to 12 different positions, which allowed for more flexibility when carrying my firearm. In conclusion, the 1911 5" Government No Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut OWB Holster had some great features, but fell short when it came to providing a secure and comfortable carry experience. While it may work well for some users, I personally wouldn't recommend it for its poor fit and clumsily designed belt clip. 🔗Comfortable OWB Holster for 1911 5" Government 45ACP with Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cuthttps://preview.redd.it/rl8eoubwtx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be78645515fee9f0294389e6396ae3277a5ed144 When I first came across the 1911 Red Dot OWB Holster, I must admit, I was a little skeptical. Would it be comfortable? Would it really provide the security I needed for my firearm? But after using it for a few weeks now, I can confidently say - this holster is the real deal. The most striking feature of this holster is its adjustable retention. This means you can set the tension to your personal comfort, ensuring your gun stays securely in place. The adjustable ride and cant provide maximum flexibility in carry options, allowing for a comfortable and discreet fit - something I appreciate as a gun owner who needs to blend in. Despite its numerous advantages, this holster also has a couple of drawbacks. The adjustable clip has a limited number of positions, which may be a concern for some users. Also, the protective sweat guard can sometimes cause friction against your body, which can be uncomfortable over long periods. Overall, the 1911 Red Dot OWB Holster has proven to be a reliable and comfortable option for those looking for a secure way to carry their firearm. While it may not be perfect, its adjustable features and protective sweat guard make it a worthwhile addition to any gun owner's arsenal. 🔗Customizable Kydex OWB Holster for 1911 45ACP Red Dot Optic Cuthttps://preview.redd.it/g82bf6pwtx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f047142a5410f9f30f7d09c9510fcbe542ab5b57 A while back, I got my hands on a Kydex holster that's an absolute dream to wear. I've been using it daily to carry around my trusty 1911 Defender with a red dot optic cut, and boy, it's been a game-changer. Adjusting the holster's tension is like finding that perfect sweet spot where it feels like it's securely hugging your gun, but not so tight that you have to take a sledgehammer to draw it. The flexibility for adjusting ride and cant angles is just the icing on the cake. Adjusting the clip position is another one of those little details that makes a big impact - it's like having your own personalized holster. Now, let's talk about the protective sweat guard. It's a detail that's often overlooked, but it's crucial for keeping your gun and body happy in those hot summer months. The secure belt clip is the cherry on top; it ensures that you'll always get a clean draw, and your gun will stay right where it's supposed to be. But here's the caveat: this holster is specifically designed for the 1911 3.25" Defender with a red dot optic cut. It won't fit just any old Colt or Taurus—there's a certain finesse to this thing. So before you go and get it in your hands, make sure you're the right fit for it. If you are, though, you're going to fall in love with this bad boy. All in all, I've got to say that this holster has been a game-changer in my life. It's made my concealed carry experience so much more comfortable and secure. Just be sure to check your 1911's specifications before diving in—there's no point in falling for the wrong holster. 🔗Discrete 1911 4" Commander Red Dot Covert Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/0c0v900xtx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8389849691c5b6b8a7186b1f332ca1a27d456558 As a reviewer, I recently tried this 1911 Red Dot OWB Holster and was thoroughly impressed with its durability and comfort. The holster is made from Kydex, a lightweight and strong material that ensures a snug fit for the 1911 4" Commander 45ACP No Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut. One of the standout features of this holster is its adjustable retention, which allows users to set the tension to their personal comfort. This customization ensures that the holster securely holds your firearm without causing any discomfort or strain on your belt. Additionally, the adjustable ride and cant provide maximum flexibility in carry options, making it suitable for various situations and environments. The adjustable clip, with up to 12 different positions, ensures compatibility with a range of different belts and waistlines. However, the protective sweat guard has a small learning curve to work around, as it can obstruct the draw slightly at first. Nonetheless, once you get used to it, the sweat guard minimizes contact between your firearm and your body, providing an increased level of safety and comfort during wear. The secure belt clip is another crucial aspect of this holster, ensuring clean draws each time. It holds your firearm securely, but doesn't compromise the ease of access when needed. Overall, I would highly recommend this OWB Holster for any 1911 Red Dot users looking for a dependable and comfortable carrying solution.

2024.06.01 12:31 ashareif My review of 24 Byredo fragrance: la grande decouvérte discovery set.
https://imgur.com/a/JmNWrr1
I got the limited edition Byredo la grande decouvérte discovery set and it contains 24 fragrances. You pay around 200 euros and you get a 170 euro voucher to spend on a bottle of your choice. I think it's a great deal because you're only paying 30 euros for 24 x 2ml samples. I didn't think Byredo would be this generous TBH.
I quite enjoyed the fragrances in general. Most of them are on the minimal clean side, which is no surprise that all the stockholm girlies are rocking Byredo. It's true though that the longevity is below average on most of these fragrance which is shame given the fact that it's quite an expensive house. This could however work for some people who like more subtle fragrances.
Here is a quick review of all of them, from my favorites to least favorite:
Black Saffron: I think I'll be using the code to purchase a 50ml of Black Saffron. It's definitely one of the stronger ones (by no means great performance either). It's sharp and polished upon frist spray and you can smell a clean leather. Then it becoems a little sweeter in the dry down while retaining that clean leathery note.
Animalique: Another banger from Byredo! It's comforting leathery, clean and becomes powdery sweet in the dry down. Quite unique and really stands out. Good performance too.
De los santos: For all my Santal 33 lover, you should check this one out. It has some resemblance to S33 but it's more subtle. It's very serene and relaxing. It's not smokey like the name would suggest. I imagine this one on someone wearing linen clothes in the summer.
Super cedar: a sweet molecule fragrance. Ambroxan-forward. In the same family as Molecule 02 and Another 13 by Le labo. definitely up there in the list but Molecule 02 gives the same effect for less.
Bal d'afrique: everyone and there mother in Sweden wears Bal d'afrique and I understand why. It's woody, citrusy, sweet, powdery, clean all at the same time. It's a great amalgamation of notes and this would work in any situation. Nothing ground-breaking but I understand the hype. Do I even need to say it? the longevity is subpar.
Gypsy water: Sweet woody vanilla with a woodsy green background. Great fragrance and it reminded me a bit of Eau duelle from Diptyque.
Mojave ghost: Shampooey clean fragrance that smells really nice but it is fleeting. gone in an hour or two. Even though it smells nice, I think you could get a similar fragrance for under $50.
Bibliothèque: On the opening it remind me of middle eastern fragrances. Rosey and woody. In the dry down it becomes a fruity sweet fragrance with the plum being very prominent. This can give headaches because I found it quite strong.
Blanche: My favorite from the fresh fragrances. Fitting name, fresh sheets and laundry. Versatile.
Sundazed: Bitter citrus, fresh juicy, neroli and soapy.
Young rose: Citrus opening, then becomes floral and sweet in the dry down. Clean girl aesthetic.
Flowerhead: Garden with roses. Clean floral and it reminds me of my grandma, in a good way. Because she loves Omnia Bvlgari and it gives me a similar vibe.
........ Warning! It goes downhill from here.
Rose of no man's land: A dark rose. A bit generic imo because the DNA is very similar to other rose fragrances.
Inflorescence: Clean citrus. Boring, thank you next.
La tulipe: Clean floral green and boring.
Sunday cologne: Vetiver earthy masculine. Very designery. Not worth the price tag at all.
Mumbai rose: Dubai is the first word that came to my mind. sweet, spicy oudy and bitter espresso. Nothing new.
Rose noir: Sharp, dark, floral, herbal.
Slow dance: Spicy, sharp, old. BAD. No no
Oud immortel: Spicy dry middle eastern oud. It's no for me. Simply because it's not my style and this DNA is so common.
Eleventh hour: Alcoholy sweet with a spicy background. This is not it.
Mixed emotions: I wish I had mixed emotions towards this fragrance but no. I despise this fragrance. Acidic, smells like alcohol and dirty herbs.
Eyes closed: Remember the cinnamon challenge from years ago? This is exactly what it feel like. Imagine someone throwing a handfull of cloves and cinnamon powder at you. Pungent.
1996: The worst imo. A dry, burnt woody sauna. Suffocating.
Do I think the discovery set is worth it?
YES definitely. because the ones that smelled good were so worth it in my opinion. and the ones that I disliked could be someone else's favorite since we all have different tastes when it comes to fragrances. It was a pleasant olfactory experience.

I got the limited edition Byredo la grande decouvérte discovery set and it contains 24 fragrances. You pay around 200 euros and you get a 170 euro voucher to spend on a bottle of your choice. I think it's a great deal because you're only paying 30 euros for 24 x 2ml samples. I didn't think Byredo would be this generous TBH.
I quite enjoyed the fragrances in general. Most of them are on the minimal clean side, which is no surprise that all the stockholm girlies are rocking Byredo. It's true though that the longevity is below average on most of these fragrance which is shame given the fact that it's quite an expensive house. This could however work for some people who like more subtle fragrances.
Here is a quick review of all of them, from my favorites to least favorite:
Black Saffron: I think I'll be using the code to purchase a 50ml of Black Saffron. It's definitely one of the stronger ones (by no means great performance either). It's sharp and polished upon frist spray and you can smell a clean leather. Then it becoems a little sweeter in the dry down while retaining that clean leathery note.
Animalique: Another banger from Byredo! It's comforting leathery, clean and becomes powdery sweet in the dry down. Quite unique and really stands out. Good performance too.
De los santos: For all my Santal 33 lover, you should check this one out. It has some resemblance to S33 but it's more subtle. It's very serene and relaxing. It's not smokey like the name would suggest. I imagine this one on someone wearing linen clothes in the summer.
Super cedar: a sweet molecule fragrance. Ambroxan-forward. In the same family as Molecule 02 and Another 13 by Le labo. definitely up there in the list but Molecule 02 gives the same effect for less.
Bal d'afrique: everyone and there mother in Sweden wears Bal d'afrique and I understand why. It's woody, citrusy, sweet, powdery, clean all at the same time. It's a great amalgamation of notes and this would work in any situation. Nothing ground-breaking but I understand the hype. Do I even need to say it? the longevity is subpar.
Gypsy water: Sweet woody vanilla with a woodsy green background. Great fragrance and it reminded me a bit of Eau duelle from Diptyque.
Mojave ghost: Shampooey clean fragrance that smells really nice but it is fleeting. gone in an hour or two. Even though it smells nice, I think you could get a similar fragrance for under $50.
Bibliothèque: On the opening it remind me of middle eastern fragrances. Rosey and woody. In the dry down it becomes a fruity sweet fragrance with the plum being very prominent. This can give headaches because I found it quite strong.
Blanche: My favorite from the fresh fragrances. Fitting name, fresh sheets and laundry. Versatile.
Sundazed: Bitter citrus, fresh juicy, neroli and soapy.
Young rose: Citrus opening, then becomes floral and sweet in the dry down. Clean girl aesthetic.
Flowerhead: Garden with roses. Clean floral and it reminds me of my grandma, in a good way. Because she loves Omnia Bvlgari and it gives me a similar vibe.
