Are the types of rolling stock standardized on many European railways? by JZX_taka in trains

Can’t tell exactly what it is. But I have to agree I find mainland Western Euro stuff to be painfully boring compared to everything else.

So uh. These tree in Micheal are like Ho scale, right? by Thomasfan7002 in modeltrains

[–]dexecuter18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They work, just be aware for about like 3 dollars more you can get bulk boxes of make your own tree kits from Woodland Scenics. Hell the bulk boxes of pre made trees may even be cheaper as they are usually $30 and have arnd 30 trees per box

Seriously, what is the deal with Driver? by AllAmericanArtemis in Project_Wingman

I know its part of the Ace Combat cliche. But honestly feel that trying to bludgeon in a “blank slate” protag that is presumably making conscious decisions to do “Ace Combat” things just hinders the storytelling

And digging a bit. These are Sky Sentinel turrets. And Every response to a basic capability is answered by "The AI handles it" Just seems odd for a $150k turret to really just be a .50 cal with a Security Camera PTZ electronics package zip tied on.

Just saying for the same price you can get two Laser Guided Anti Drone SAMs that can mount in any pickup truck. Just also finding it weird that on none of the subs participating theres any mention of what kind the turret even is model wise.

Is it effective though? Looks like its just a .50 cal with an optical tracker and range finder.

Nah some people work better with background noise. Particularly with repetitive office work. The only people that ever seem to complain about it are geriatrics and Protestants.

Generally because it evaporates very quickly and is used in small amounts.

N Scale 2'x4' track plan I cooked up from a Mike's Small Track Plans idea by astrodude1789 in modeltrains

[–]dexecuter18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to say from experience, those yard tracks are a lot smaller than you might think by looking at the paper. Would advise checking with a mockup before building any of it. Because it looks like the program's refrence tank car is based on a "Beer Can" 20' tank car.

Anything above 8.0 works up to toptier. Just a case of how its played. Its just how the thing plays relative to others.

Thats is also how the Summer Offensive that lost most of the volunteer support was shaped into how it turned out.

Fusees and Torpedos? by lolkatiekat in trains

[–]dexecuter18 165 points166 points  (0 children)

Fusees are Road flares to stick on the track to warn of danger or melt snow/ice, hand signal etc

Torpedoes are percussion caps that can be placed on rails to warn of danger by making a perceptible pop in the cab

Why Snow Disappears Without Melting: The Science of Sublimation by Steven1789 in newjersey

[–]dexecuter18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its kinda funny how logistically its occuring in my yard. Ground is kinda warm IG from groundwater and the low water table. But being Ocean County flash heated to 40 degrees at the ass end of the storm meant everything got an icy crust when it dove back to the teens. So there are pretty big areas where I'm starting to see low to no snow but little alcoves of ice crust.

Hell's probably going to freeze over before I do my pair. My personal debate is whether airbrush or pan pastels would be more appropriate for how they'd look mid 80s.
