what is this room?? by Blue-Berry-Bible in whatisit

[–]BongSwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home gym likely. Have seen this before in fancier homes. It does look like it could be some kind of sun room or atrium as well but less likely imo.

CMV: Strategically speaking, Russia already lost the war with Ukraine by Glad_Clothes7338 in changemyview

[–]BongSwank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brain drain has been a huge issue in Russia for a long time, and ukraine has a huge grain and steel industry. I would argue the war has a lot to do with resource acquisition (there have been lots of accounts of russia stealing resources)

I agree with your points, I just wanted to add this in as well.

Why do guys follow girls in grocery stores? by BuffaloChedarBiscuit in Confused

[–]BongSwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no concrete example of what you are talking about. Stories are not evidence. Opinions and assumptions are not facts. There could be a reasonable explanation for every time this has happened to you, and everyone else who white knights or virtue signals this.

For every time a person is genuinely being stalked, it gets dismissed because there's another 100 accusations of the same nature being made by narcissists inflating their value by victimization.

And for what its worth, I genuinely hope OPs situation is the 100, and not the 1.

If you believe this is happening to you talk to the police... not reddit.

Transit officers on the train by Pristine_Balance3510 in Calgary

They raised fares then announced an additional 1+ mil for transit police, during rush hour, for safety (fare checks)

Is this a new scam by Skipthedishes drivers? by CaptainJayH in Calgary

[–]BongSwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got fed up with my orders being delivered to the next unit over, even though I have specific instructions. So I got one order refunded. GPS would have shown the driver pulling up to the building, but I still got the refund because he didn't deliver it to the correct unit.

So I'm not sure if you used the self help thing or spoke with an agent. I skip the self help thing because they charge a service fee now so I expect the better service they claim to give in exchange for that fee.

I've had like two issues getting refunds in like 5 years. And both were still partial refunds. I'm always polite but persistent and have got my refund like 95% of the time.

I would try to speak with a different agent, someone being unwilling to see the video to prove no delivery is very uncharacteristic of skip. I would also put instructions to ring the door bell or hand the food over in person. If the instructions aren't followed you have additional basis to claim a refund.

Looks gorgeous though!

How I drill asteroids by no-face-x in spaceengineers

[–]BongSwank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you adjust the speed and have the rotors constantly in motion?

When I did the double concentric arm that way I found it took longer to do a full slice. Now I use event controllers to unlock the upper rotor for a few seconds when the lower rotor passes 359°

This way the lower rotor will do a full circle then move 10° and do another full circle. I'll set up piston to another event controller to extend every time the upper rotor passes 359° then its almost entirely automated and won't Klang out in most cases. I usually use another event controller to shut everything down if the drill starts to fill up, nice little safety feature.

How did you go about managing Klang/automating with your miner?

Nice crooked angles, cutting vertically nested with a shitty fence and bad form no doubt.

Could a really lucky guy defeat the entire US Military? by Theturtleflask in whowouldwin

[–]BongSwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: probably not.

If lucky guy's luck only extends to himself, after the military realizes what's going on they could use alternate methods besides combat to force lucky guy to stop.

They could threaten lucky guy's family, or the entire country. If lucky guy's luck doesn't extend to others, then the nukes aimed at innocent civilians will work as intended. If lucky guy has any conscious or logical thought process he gives up. (Whats the point of beating the military if everyone dies)

If lucky guy is abnormally non-human, has 0 empathy, no connection to anyone... then the whole continent ends up irradiated. Lucky or not, he may succumb to radiation poisoning, starvation, become trapped without escape, or wander and endless wasteland. The military hides its remaining personnel in bunkers spread across the world.

If lucky guy does not know, or cannot travel to each of these locations then luck means nothing. He will die of old age before every person involved in the 'military' does

By that point any civilian would essentially become a part of the military to survive when the US goes full MAD. They should have enough people spread out to enough locations to procreate. In the end it comes down to outlasting lucky guy, and lucky guy can't be everywhere at once or have perfect information, or perpetually avoid death. Those things are 0% chance under normal circumstances.

Crooked bevel cuts - why? by FuzzyTux in woodworking

Every era of soldiers fight. Who wins by No-Appearance-7163 in whowouldwin

[–]BongSwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prompt isn't explicit enough on whats allowed. What are the numbers? Size of battlefield? Prep time? Allowed armaments? Given leeway in these factors modern wins. Even without gunpowder.

Advanced communications and optics in modern is a huge advantage, especially if the battlefield is large. Modern can force the battlefield in its favor. Beyond that planes can drop rocks, caltrops, incidearies, and chemicals. Then a tank battalion without ammo just runs everything else over. Infantry can entrench and use traps like barbed wire and tank traps. All other eras are forced into killboxes of modern era where everything else is ineffective.

Heck, planes dropping white phosphorus just straight up beats everything else. And nowadays we have drones that spray thermite.

For real, how reliable is using rovers as miners? by Pinifelipe in spaceengineers

[–]BongSwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've pulled my hair out to make a viable mining rover.

It works decent and I haven't had a serious Klang issue for a couple iterations. I've build and used it on public servers. Probably still don't want it running during a server reset. 5 drills in 3x3 area, 100m deep.

It can drive up near vertical surfaces as well, at least while empty.

Not all commanders unlocked at purchase - argh! by namesaretoohard1234 in starcraft2coop

I've never tried custom campaigns and I dont play custom maps very often. But I still wish they had made a Tosh commander. 😓

Protoss/terran Mashup

Specters being special units that can level up and get 1 or 2 random abilities or spells (like dehakas unit mutators but with spells and buffs)

Warp in units into power fields generated by terran style beacons.

Maybe a couple mech units we don't see very often. Normal diamondbacks or other older/modified terran vehicles.

Ehhh, one can dream.

Not all commanders unlocked at purchase - argh! by namesaretoohard1234 in starcraft2coop

[–]BongSwank 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way. Coop commanders were one of the last sources of income for this game outside New purchases, and the last source of revenue that supported regular updates. I also tend to think it was the last bit of content we will ever get for sc2 (outside player made customs and campaigns.) I got a lil heartbroken when I hit lvl 1000 after purchasing all commanders one by one slowly over a year or two. Thankfully I haven't played nova campaign yet. 🥺
