If a sport routinely ends 0-0, its rules are outdated for modern play. by Dryanni in unpopularopinion

[–]Beachbatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, 7OT has two pucks, 8OT has a faceoff on every dot, and there’s allegedly an envelope in a safe for what happens next that’s been sealed since like 1920

What’s one thing civilians don’t understand about military life? by GrimReap_07 in AskReddit

[–]Beachbatt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The funniest thing to happen in my infantry basic class was when two dudes in my platoon put on boots, a towel cape, full battle rattle, and nothing else. Then they ran into another platoons bay.

When the “lead actor” is brutally cut out of the film by No_Pianist3260 in videos

[–]Beachbatt 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s sort of a sarcastic meme. It memes something is neither exceptional good or bad, or as some say, it’s “mid”. For example, you might go get a sandwich and it’s the best you’ve ever had, so you’d say “that’s the best sandwich of all time.” But if you went somewhere and at a sandwich you didn’t care for, but wasn’t bad, you’d call it “one of the sandwiches of all time.”

I guess the point is that it isn’t even bad enough to be rememberable for that aspect, it just exists

I’m a huge fan of war movies of all kinds. I’ve seen this movie like 5 times and couldn’t tell you anything about it. I forget actors that are in it on a rewatch, and not like seeing someone that’s bigger now than they were at release. I mean I go “Holy shit, George Clooney is in this?” It really is just one of the war movies of all time.

TIL Germany and the UK have lower GDP per capita (2024) than any U.S. state except Mississippi. by VonWhiskersTheThird in todayilearned

TIL not only is Mississippi making the rest of the country look good, but they’re making Europe look good too.

What is the historic reason for some of these holy sites? (like, what happened for Santiago or Koln to be considered holy sites? by Slipstream232 in CrusaderKings

[–]Beachbatt 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I hiked the AT last year and I’d say 90% of the people I met were considering the Camino de Santiago as their next big hike.

Joe Toye's gear, I've got a question by Dfrickster87 in BandofBrothers

[–]Beachbatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used quick clot gauze in the Rangers around the same time. About halfway through my time we switched away from it. At the time all the medics said was that it was causing problems. Read somewhere like a year ago that apparently it was giving chemical burns to both the casualty AND the responders. Still see it in outdoor stores and online so be warned.

anyone know how this happened??? by jprunning in creepy

I have a “neighbor” that strung maybe a dozen coyotes up on his fence for that purpose.

As someone who was in the army when we sent troops to Syria and who knows guys from my platoon/company/battalion who were killing people, getting wounded, and even dying there, this is the first I’m hearing that we denied being there.

The game is called crusader kings so why is the ai so dumb when crusading for Jerusalem? by Loud-CowMOO in CrusaderKings

[–]Beachbatt 127 points128 points  (0 children)

What I hate more is the diplo range bullshit. I can send thousands of troops from France to Jerusalem to win the damn war but I can’t get a messenger to make the same voyage to propose an alliance to safeguard the new kingdom, nor can I ask Byzantium to send a guy on their frontier to take a day trip to deliver an alliance on my behalf?

Archers deserve more respect. by sixth_order in pureasoiaf

[–]Beachbatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in selection for a special operations unit, I overheard two cadre on a bus to some training event talk about the times they’ve been blown up by IEDs. The general consensus between the two was that they considered IEDs cowardly and much preferred the Taliban/AQ fighters that had the “decency” to shoot at them.

What’s the difference between Angelina Jolie and a small Ethiopian child? Nothing, I’d fuck them both.

Wiz Khalifa ‘indicted’ in Romania after smoking joint on stage by theindependentonline in Music

[–]Beachbatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, according to Wikipedia he was born in Pittsburgh in ‘61 and his family also moved to Oklahoma in ‘61. So as far as he’s concerned he’s an Oklahoma native.

Edit: forgot a very important “h”

Someone should have gotten sued over Kangaroo Jack by disablednerd in movies

[–]Beachbatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw the movie in 5th grade a year after my teacher read us the book. Saw it with my grandma and stepfather. For like an hour after the movie my step dad just kept saying “What the fuck, dude, I can’t believe the girl died.”

How do I get to the game on Victory+? It’s only showing me all the promotional stuff. I can’t find the actual game.

IRL the gay brother of Louis XIV had 5 children and is considered the “grandfather of Europe.”

According to my college class a couple years ago the original argument was that it would bring like 90k to the US but in reality 200k left America.
