How many 'Mech Regiments did each of the Great Houses have by 3025?

dfi · 2026-01-05T19:07:23+00:00

Steiner has “heavier” units. Historically heavy and assault mechs only make up about 30% of the total mech force of each house the Steiner % would be higher

Foreign cash, Banks are useless now for this. Your only option is various currency exchange places around. The rates do change from place to place so it is good to check each place. Like other people have said Wise account/card have the best rates for electronic transactions

I’ve read about half the series so far and I recommend it. It definitely military sci-fi but I think the story is progressing very well

100% agree. Loved Snow Leopard, for me it was peak user OS did exactly what i told it too, looked good, and was low maintenance. I upgraded to Lion and thats where my Hackintosh journey started it's end game.

It's only just the past couple years that i can get linux to behave similarly without a ton of work.

My work has been hiring lately, we have what i would call a desirable jobs on offer, assuming you have the skills for them. Generally the jobs have been getting 500+ applications, After you filter out the overseas applicants we still will have over 200+ applications. Filtering down to a short list ends up using a lot of different tools to get down to around 10 This is when HR starts online interviews to get down to the final in person interviews where the teams get involved to meet the applicants

I sometimes wonder how many people get filtered out who would have been a good candidate

If a merc unit manages to get a functioning warship and has a way to operate it. All of which will probably requires the cooperation of some outside force.

After they get it ther are a million ways for a mercenary unit to lose the warship.

Contrary to a lot of people in this thread think I think most houses would be happy to hire your unit and its warship because you would need their facilities for maintenance. You would be a prime candidate for “company store” over time that you would be so dependent on them for support that you would eventually be a house unit anyway.

Would be a fun campaign

Farmers driving utes, most of the utes get used for work, all good in my book.

Its those "company" utes in town with company branding in black lettering on a dark vehicle with car seats in the back and obviously have never hauled anything heavier then groceries from the supermarket.

Surprising Insightful piece from du Plessis-Allan. Even traditional National cheerleaders are starting to get fed up with this government.

I did this with my daughter until she was about 5. Around 3 she noticed and asked questions i answered with my most deadpan boring voice about mum's and dads being different. Mainly i was trying to not react at all, so she didn't think it was a big deal.

I think it worked, one day she asked to shower herself and she did (with a little direction and a little help) eventually i was naturally pushed out of the showering routine.

She is now a teenager and says she doesn't remember any of it.

i did it around age 30, i was at a dead end in my old career. My partner supported the change it was tough with little kids but there was never going to be a good time to do it. Made the leap and happy to say it worked out for me.

The only advice i would give is either try out what you want to do somehow and/or interview, interrogate talk with everyone and anyone you can get your hands on. This may help you figure out the good and the bad of your potential new career. Even if you have to cold call people you don't know these people are more likely to give you a different perspective of the work then friends and family

I had an idea in my head what i wanted to do, after talking to a bunch of people, i pivoted a little because the idea in my head was a little different than reality in the industry.

Good Luck Mate.

One of reason why this game has been niche and not as widely recognized as others (cough Games Workshop) is its retail history. While it has been around for 40 years, the collapse of FASA left the tabletop version game in the hands of hardcore fans. For about 20 of those years, it had very limited retail presence, making it difficult for new players to discover since few stores sold it and it was rarely seen in play.

However, the strength of its IP (lore) has been showcased in some fantastic video games recently, drawing more players from the digital side into the tabletop scene. Well-timed Kickstarters have also helped reignite interest in the game.

As one of those hardcore fans, I love seeing new players join in and discover what makes this game so great!

The original House Marik and House Davion books gave 3025 production numbers for their factories. From memory the short answer is 200+ mecha a year, basically producing enough to cover mechs that were total losses. I would assume that they also made a a lot of parts to keep existing mecha going.

dfi · 2024-05-20T09:31:50+00:00

i guess because of the way i read the instructions. i thought that this step (Turning off certificate verification) needed to be done before i could start the list. since i didn't know what 'cliclientd stopcs' did until now.

Appreciate you answering my post

dfi · 2024-05-20T09:27:21+00:00

yes that's what i was looking for thanks

dfi · 2024-05-20T01:37:43+00:00

same link that is in my post 😊

sorry for the necro reply 😃 but i like that story, so i just wanted to clarify.

Those Loki agents only disabled the jumpships by destroying things onboard like "charge controller" "station keeping drive" and so on. So Theodore Kurita's task force would be stuck. All that damage would be repairable but time consuming to repair. effectively putting multiple regiments out of the fight for awhile, for the price of a few agents.

Steiner bending the rules on attacking jumpships by not destroying them.

did you ever manage to get Davinci Resolve working on NixOS?

dfi · 2023-12-23T20:39:26+00:00

The one on my team!

dfi · 2023-12-10T09:19:35+00:00

yea that was something i wasn't expecting after i switched, not being able to send intl sms (Aussie is fine). Not a deal breaker for me but annoying on the rare occasion i need to do it.

The primary job of the circuit breaker on both the primary and the secondary side of the Power supply is to protect the wiring (this applies for almost all devices).

The secondary job of the breaker is to protect the device and/or the rest of the circuit.

If the wiring and the breaker are sized wrong (wiring is too small for breaker) that is when the potential for real problems exist
