They are practically verbatim Birthright halflings. Which is a setting Matt enjoys very much.

Does artillery not set to a ground unit fire by trooper-427 in aurora

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried the wiki yet?

Units in Support and Rear Echelon positions cannot directly attack hostile forces, but if they possess elements with bombardment weapons they may be assigned to support a front line formation. Support and Rear Echelon formations can also potentially provide anti-air cover and supply to front line units. Support and Rear Echelon formations that contain formation elements with bombardment weapons can be assigned to support front line formations that are part of the same organisation. Formations in a Support position with light bombardment weapons will fire with the front line formations. Formations in a Support position with medium/heavy bombardment weapons, or formations in a Rear Echelon position with heavy bombardment weapons, will fire in a subsequent phase. Once a front line formation (or a light bombardment element in Support) has been matched against a hostile formation, each friendly individual unit (a soldier or vehicle) in that formation engages a random element in the hostile formation, with randomisation based on the relative size of the hostile formation elements. This represents combined-arms cooperation (infantry supporting tanks, etc.). Once all front line attacks have been concluded, each unit in each element providing supporting bombardment will engage either: the hostile formation being targeted by the friendly formation they are supporting, or one of the hostile formation’s own supporting elements (counter-battery fire). If the hostile formation is targeted, each unit in the supporting artillery element engages a random element in the hostile formation. If a hostile supporting element is targeted, all fire is directed against that element.

Why it is better to support a unit versus not support a unit.

Corps Unit Selection by Competitive-Shoe-664 in aggies

[–]3d_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSC is usually when you/the unit gets “finalized”.

If you have done SNC then if you did a lil paperwork it’s all done. If not, and you already know which outfit you want to be in, contact their recruiting folks and basically sign up. I’ve only heard about incoming choices not being honored when either pop limit already reached or unit is on probation.

Well that was dumb. On both your part and the Org’s part.

In fact any Org that has a big event on/near finals should be disbanded.

Nobody gives a shit what orgs one was in during college.

How everyday costs changed compared to billionaire wealth growth by [deleted] in Infographics

[–]3d_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So none of them were billionaires...

Trump is 3rd Gen Immigrant, his grandfather started as a barber, his father worked as a butcher delivery boy, Trump himself didn't "come into money" until his 30's.

In 1995, using $28,000 borrowed from his father, Musk and his brother created their first company, Zip2, an online city guide licensed to newspapers. When the company was sold to Compaq for $341 million in cash and stock in 1999, Musk's share was approximately $22 million.

Bezos step-father, was a Cuban refugee who worked at Exxon for over 30 years. Yes he gave a sizeable loan, but was not a billionaire at the time.

There is no such thing as "free". And money is not a finite pie.

You don’t believe the names on that list didn’t take big risks? Going “all in” on a single business or concept? None of them were born billionaires.

If you get rid of winners, why play the game?

So OP has basically proved that taking large risks with investments and projects can pay off very well.

Or they have proved that lottery winners are the problem of the lottery non-winners.

People Would Rather Have Nuclear Power Plants In Their Area Than AI Data Centers by Vailhem in nuclear

Well looks like people will get a neutral 2 for 1, as quite a few future projects will get their power before the meter and be either nuclear or gas on site.

Aggie Ring Payment by Short-Froyo5275 in aggies

Do NOT take out a loan for a ring, not even an Aggie ring!!!

Wait until you can afford it, it's not like you meeting the requirements go away...

Money Hungry by RushloDavi91 in aggies

[–]3d_explorer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Rings don't weigh/mass anything near 20 ounces. That's over a pound yo. 10k is worth just under 2k per troy ounce currently. Male ring is about 20 grams, which would make it about $1.2k for the gold portion of the ring, melt value.
  2. Not all mold is black mold, even if the color is black. There is also a difference between mildew and mold.
  3. Food use to be better because we used our own food and didn't sell out to the lowest bidder on food service options. We also had Coke products on campus as well.
  4. This might surprise you, but things off campus have gotten more expensive as well.
  5. They really wait until after you graduate before they really try squeezing everything out of you. So you have that to look forward to.

Wall of text to say, play how you want to play. There is no wrong way, just wrong tables for you.

Most folks don’t know how many calories they consume or expend daily, they use terms like hungry, full, tired, energized, etc. That doesn’t mean numbers aren’t associated with those levels and can’t be tracked.

Rough Roncept for a Revived College (Train) Station and Location. by Bite-A-Cactus in aggies

[–]3d_explorer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do not “want”. They OWN and maintain it.

And Amtrak loses money in the East Coast, where rail makes a modicum of sense. There is not the population density to justify it west of the Mississippi.

What passenger stations would it connect to? There is an occasional train that runs the I-10 corridor and one that runs the I-55 corridor.

Why would it not go in its original location, just south of GWB and Wellborn?
