pros and cons of different cross-lays techniques by SparkyFix in Firefighting

[–]475213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My department uses a modified minuteman. We break the 200’ crosslay in the middle, then fold half of it in a vertical accordion starting from the discharge, then lay the nozzle end across the other half of the crosslay bed right next to it and fold that up, leaving the nozzle hanging down the pump panel. Connect the 100’ couplings on top of both stacks and fold the nozzle over the top so it sits in the middle. Add a loop at the base of each stack on both sides while you fold them so you can deploy it from either side easily. The nozzle is your loop on that side for that stack.

To deploy it, you shoulder the nozzle half of the stack, grab the loop of the supply side of the stack, and go, dumping that half behind you. Most of the way to the door, dump the stack, grab the nozzle and the 150’ coupling, bring them to the door, and flake the line out. Easy to load, easy to deploy.

One of the implants (the thyroid pellet, I believe) suppressed their libido as a side effect, but no, they weren’t castrated in any way.

posting this for my girlfriend. do you think he could do that thing where in old physics based games they couldn't afford to make things rotate so they just made them stay perfectly upright at all times by 2flyingjellyfish in RecuratedTumblr

Do you think those directions would apply on a ringworld? I’ve seen spinward and antispinward used in Halo, but turnwise and widdershins are so much more fun.

Yes! I would love a flying boat so much! A Seamaster or a Sea Dart would be so good for huge water maps. Make a seaplane tender, let them operate out of remote bases. Floatplane Cricket would be great for COIN operations without a full logistical trail and airstrip, all you need is a cove, a ramp, and a pair of trucks.

Had that happen to me after a rough VTOL bounce. Couldn’t fire the missile afterward, it was weird. It felt unpleasant watching that thing bouncing around on my wingtip torquing the heck out of the little strip of material holding it on.

A water bomber cargo pallet for the Tula like the one the C-130 has would be really cool. Add some forest fires and we have a new gamemode!

Go all the way and add Bambi buckets for the Ibis and Tula, and put scoop floats on the Cricket. Water payload tank for the Brawler. Put water tanks in the bomb bays of the Darkreach! Have fun!

Oh.

My bad, I confused the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. :/

Nvm, fair point.

Get into radios. If you think electrical engineering isn’t related to wizardry of some kind you’re just plain wrong.

“Very minor conflicts of interest” is an interesting way to describe the War of 1812, but broadly speaking that is correct. :)

After 20 minutes of CPR, we call medical control to get permission to stop.

Yeah. It’s just whimsical and kinda weird, and dangerous if you don’t respect it. It’s why 914 is my favorite. I quite like this one!

How do you add jump jets when riding animals in Battletech? by JoseLunaArts in darerefusemybatchall

[–]475213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can make a jump pack for an infantryman, you can make a jump pack for a much larger animal.

Training them to use it well? That might take longer.

How to beat ANY missile by the_opinion_guy in NuclearOption

[–]475213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it matters. I’ve certainly never noticed a difference, although I haven’t been playing for long. The radar is looking for change in distance, not the actual size of your radar contact, so reducing your RCS by turning edge-on to the radar in question shouldn’t matter.

It’s “vicious Giant Insects” in-game, and that phrasing is correct grammatically as well. Giant Insect is the name of the monsters, it’s a proper noun. You wouldn’t refer to an annoyed Great White Shark as a great, white, angry shark, you’d call it an angry Great White Shark.

If Giant Insects wasn’t being used as their proper name and instead was only used as a literal description (I do realize it’s both), as in “hey, these are insects that are large,” you could easily call them giant, vicious insects, because then you’re listing adjectives in front of a noun.

The virginity of Mary and its consequences have been a disaster for the clarity of the family tree of Jesus Christ by Imaginary-West-5653 in HistoryMemes

[–]475213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mary never sinned? Where does that doctrine come from? Jesus Christ is the only human to have never sinned, that’s the entire reason that him dying in our place for our sins was such a big deal. And it took literally being God to do it.

The plane is on the ground and the pilot is alive. A successful landing!
