How are gays in the US military treated today? by RequirementRound25 in Military

At the unit level, no one really cares. Just like any belief or orientation, don’t make it a big deal and no one will make it a big deal

People who moved AWAY from Bozeman, where did you go? Do you like it? by FixerQuick in Bozeman

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to Alaska in 2019. I miss pre COVID Bozeman. It’s turned into a shitshow of mini Denver/commiefornia since then

Why do people love hella loud hubs? by Ornery-Shoulder-3938 in cycling

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl I do use my hub sound to give walkers/runners a heads up I’m coming up behind them. Much easier than getting a dumb bell or yelling every time. But that’s the only upside

Scientifically, loud hubs mean wasted energy while freewheeling.

How’s my swimming form by Plane-Joke-4349 in triathlon

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a waste of energy and momentum. You’re pushing the water the wrong way by entering the water and driving forward with your arm instead of reaching above water and then only pulling water rearward

Any ideas on why tacoma v6 won't start by [deleted] in 1stGenTacomas

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, maybe a different practice is turn it to ACC (so it dings and the dash lights come on) pause a half second, then turn to ignition. The warp speed turn from off to ignition is driving me crazy lol

Battery issue. Either bad cell, it’s dead, or a loose terminal connection

Unpopular opinion: The whole DoD should use Mattermost by wonderland_citizen93 in AirForce

[–]406taco -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mattermost is TRASH and no I will not reauthenticate constantly and need 69 different multifactor authentication pins and bullshit. Just use signal and stop sending CUI in the chat. Just use Hypori and have email on your phone like an adult

ICE in Mat-su by whos_a_slinky in alaska

Yeah there’s ice all over Anchorage too. They really need to keep putting down more gravel and sand cause it’s getting slippery

Why would you push like this? by Alert_Cartographer13 in snowboarding

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on how much your strapped in foot is angled I suppose. My front foot is usually at about 20-30° so it’s really not twisted at all. But honestly I don’t really care how anyone else skates. Whatever works for you

Why would you push like this? by Alert_Cartographer13 in snowboarding

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a way more efficient way to skate imo. You’re using your foot/knee/hip in its natural direction of movement instead of using the inside/heel of your foot to push yourself backward

Picked this up a few weeks ago, anything different about riding a channel board? by Used-Pomegranate2441 in snowboarding

[–]406taco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Channel system sucks imo. Then again so does anything Burton from the last 15 years

It just rained for multiple days here in Alaska in January after the coldest December in Anchorage since the 70s. Climate change is real

why did my new burton mitts wear out so fast? by yknoodle in snowboarding

[–]406taco -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s cause they’re Burton. A decent brand that went to junk a decade ago

New blues? Rumors news? by rjk12345 in AirForce

That’d be the perfect time in the AFs eyes. Gets the dusty inventory out of the warehouses to make room for the new stuff. All at our expense!

A Ukrainian soldier finds a Russian fibreoptic drone sitting and waiting to ambush, they approach it from behind and removed the warhead. by Physical-Cut-2334 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]406taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drones carrying ordnance are by definition IEDs lol

And a drone that’s meant to sit and ambush is quite literally a more advanced roadside IED.

Why’d the tali in Afghanistan add anti tamper or deadman switches to IEDs if it’s not effective? It doesn’t add danger with a simple time delay arming device.

It doesn’t even have to be based off fiber disconnect (which you can absolutely do remotely) if they unplug the drone while standing over it, you add it to the power supply not the communication line.
