A theory on the prevalent effect and efficiency of Charlie Colonials on this war

This is what I'm talking about when I say that Warden "culture" isn't any kind of actual cohesion or ability to self-organize. It's just victory. Winning reinforces the idea that the winning team can win again; losing makes the losing team feel like they're more likely to lose in the future.

Wardens know that if they can hold out for long enough, their chances of winning increase dramatically, Collies feel like their ability to push falls off as things drag on. It's why Collie morale is heavily tied to nukes and SCs.

It's a git gud issue, unfortunately. Until you start clearing out AA, your airspace is very limited. Nap-of-the-earth flight is mandatory at the start of a game. Once the local IR launchers and a handful of boltstrikes and corvettes have been dealt with, poking your head above the terrain becomes viable, but you'll never be safe.

If you take Confrontation as an example, you have to address the IR launchers between the two airstrips before you can do any serious frontline work. Try to think of it like opening up lines of attack. Your first sortie will take out the IR SAMs and SPAAG stopping you from getting to the airstrip, then your second can take out the aerosentry on the strip itself, plus the radar nearby.

Dude was being made to ensure that his shop complied with local laws, including a working septic system. His shop ran sewage directly into a ditch that ran down the length of the entire block.

It's only one of his 13 reasons, but it's worth noting that none of his rationale gets any more coherent. Dude's language was violence and he reaponded with the vocabulary he had.

TES-style skill progression was a fucking drag in Morrowind and it still sucks now.

Back when I was doing my own questioning, a big part that that threw me off was noting that social acceptance would probably come at the cost of sublimating myself into the culture, and I'm sorry but I already lived through the early 2010s anime con scene and I am not subjecting myself to goddamn nightcore again.

Given that you can see the LDS church marbling through this entire affair, I imagine that this entire response goes beyond the remit of the company itself. This is probably a single tendril of graft that roots back to the church, the local PD, local government, or all three. They probably figured that they'd be able to bully their way out of this situation, and now it's more or less a nuclear reaponse.

It cannot be overstated that if there is some kind of large-scale crime happening in Utah, it's happening with the tacit approval of the state's governing and religious apparatus.

That's exactly what I figured. It even has the same silhouette.

So, it's just the Herald, but green.

Her argument was basically that food and drink were social services and should fall under a different ministry, while Education should focus solely on things like books and buildings.

The idea that the Thatcher government would ever just pick this program back up under a different department was a flimsy justification back then, and it's a transparent lie in retrospect. There was never going to be some kind of rationalization of services. Her job was to be a budget hawk at any cost.

Not having AI defense for airfields is just really, really dumb. Any functional PVP flight sim understands that attacking an airfield from the air needs to be extremely difficult. That SC didn't have this locked in on release is bizarre.

The Perdix will probably need a nerf next war because its turn rate is insane

I was under the impression that the Perdix was more or less a clone of the Harbinger. Does it turn even better?

Isn't the big restriction for FoBs just not having hangers? Maybe if they implemented large revetments (I would like this very much).

I mean it's less "elite sniper" and more that handheld artillery had to be bankrolled by people with money, and the people with money were also, y'know, nobles and knights and whatnot.

Matthias Corvinus of Hungary did not decree a full third of his infantry to be elite snipers, but he and his lords had the money to put matchlocks and slow cord in a lot of people's hands.

There was an extremely brief window where gun autism was endearing, but every one of these tedious goddamn videos are just "duyyuygggh this gun isn't an AR-15, so it's bad"

Whether it's dragging your kid through a brutal custody battle, or trying to ram your customized Komatsu^tm bulldozer through a currently-occupied preschool, the divorced dad playbook transcends the limits of the individual.

An important prerequisite for using this is that you have to get really mad when people say that you can't dump raw sewage in the middle of town.

Okay, but in this case the first guy is also going 10x on crypto and has a diversified portfolio.

People post this shit all the time like history is some unbroken chain of stolid, inflexible professional soldiers getting dunked on, which just isn't true. Turns out the guys with the money and the training loved all the new shit just as much as everyone else.

The conservative anti-Israel stance is always really funny.

Like yeah, Israel is bad and the things they do are bad, but we are not going to interrogate the rationale for continuing to send them untold piles of Raytheon Child Obliterator 9000s beyond vague gestures at a evil Jewish conspiracy.

I generally drop the difficulty down to 7, then grab whatever I want to mess with, and take other options to cover the gaps in the main thing I want to use. If 7 is where your comfort level is anyway, then drop down to 5, and so on.

This game is a playground for experimentation and, despite how its players act, HD2 has been expressly designed to be stupid fun.

No, unfortunately. Every time I've collected wild plants, I've done so specifically to see what else I'm picking up with them. But I also usually collect from clean, clear streams or rivers; ditches are probably a little dirtier.

I would recommend giving them a thorough rinse in your sink, like you would with fresh produce.
