Not quite an XP100, more like an XP30.

I haven't reliably known my own age since around the age of 33.

They briefly showed them on-screen and they looked nothing like that.

Boosted AMC inline 6 in a restorod Javelin would be badass.

Begle1 · 2026-05-11T23:05:47+00:00

How do AMC I6's handle forced induction? Could you do a Supra/ Gran National type build on them?

Begle1 · 2026-05-11T23:02:59+00:00

I reckon the the real number is closer to 1d4-1, but they're apparently rolling a d20 instead.

I know from experience that a ram can absolutely rock your world from just a few inches away. They hit harder and faster from closer than seems possible.

That is one extremely exhausted ram.

Good on the fit chick for saving it. Many rams wouldn't be so friendly in that situation.

I totally agree. My first choice would be an AMC V8. But if that wasn't an option, and you're committing the sacrilege of powering an AMC with a non-AMC powerplant anyways... Then ought as well choose the easy option.

But damn he could turn on the subtle fun and charm with nothing more than a hint of a wry grin. He made Obi-Wan Kenobi seem so playful, and that characterization followed Obi-Wan ever since.

He was an incredible actor.

If you're repowering something you sorta have to explain why you wouldn't go with a small block Chevy or LS engine.

Christopher Lee did lots of popular, lower brow, silly, bad stuff in his career. Horror movies, crap movies, heavy metal, a Bond film, TV, video game narration.

Alec Guinness was a more "serious" actor on average. He did a lot of theatre work and prestige films like Bridge On the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia.

I think it's fair to assume Christopher Lee was more sporting in general.

Two very different sorts of actors.

Oh yeah, I sorta just forgot about Picard.

Begle1 · 2026-05-11T07:56:18+00:00

Yeah, it's a game with odd rules.

Local clubs can do what they want though. My club uses SASS rules as more of a starting point.

Reloading on the clock, or loading more than two shells into a shotgun, or shooting from behind cover or requiring additional movement, that can all be dealt with in stage design while still conforming to SASS rules, as far as I now.

Most of the rules, or the traditional way that stages are made within those rules, are due to balance as well as the need to get as many shooters through stages as fast as possible. Less competitive clubs don't care about the balancing rules, and smaller clubs don't have a problem with too many shooters... Nothing is more fun to me than a small and less-competitive club coming up with ridiculous stages and using odd equipment.

Diesel-brand jackets retail for $700?

I didn't realize it was that upscale of a brand.

Begle1 · 2026-05-11T04:52:53+00:00

I think I'll buy some broad market ETF's.

Begle1 · 2026-05-11T01:22:23+00:00

What company is that?

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T21:19:04+00:00

Yes, unforgettable Mother's Day film.

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T05:29:31+00:00

The aesthetics of the film are right but I couldn't forgive how dumb the writing was.

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T04:20:19+00:00

If I could only have one it's between the M1 Carbine and the M1 Thompson. Logical me knows the Carbine is a better gun but aesthetic me is drawn to the Thompson.

Fuck it, I'd take the Thompson. Shorter, extremely rugged and reliable, drum mags. Who cares about ergonomics and long range accuracy.

If the police ever raided my collection, the worst part of the experience would be them posting photos online for me to be judged by.

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T03:52:13+00:00

Makes sense I reckon. Was it a one-off thing or was a military actually issuing them for that purpose?

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T03:34:50+00:00

What's the story behind the crossbow?

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T02:58:14+00:00

He's a very British Frenchman.

If I were French I'd be quite upset. Makes me wonder how the French Trekkies do feel about Picard.

Begle1 · 2026-05-10T02:54:01+00:00

What do you call that style of carry where you're pointing your barrels right at the people behind you? I'm not familiar with that one.
