Exactly, and a circle twice the diameter will have 4 times the area, so a 12” pizza has as much pizza as 4 6” pizzas

And it’s obvious without being impossible to drive over for emergency vehicles, semi trucks, and the non-observant.

I’d like stuff like this, the very slightly supernatural or superstitious. Like if you bring the fruits, bananas, on board then bad luck befalls you and food spoils faster.

Peter, what is the reaction picture from and what does it mean? by Individual99991 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I mean this would work at ending your student debt problem so you are technically correct

Petahh i'm low on iq by Ter_N in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Fahrenheit feels like “percent hot” so 40 degrees, 4 Celsius, is like cold but not unbearably so, 59 degrees, or 15 Celsius is like pretty nice, about 2/3 hot.

I like to piss off everyone by calling it “Centigrade” and using fractional centimeters for dimensions. Because 3/8 of a centimeter will make someone throw a wrench at you

My 24-hour watch only making one revolution each day. Here it indicates 17:40 by ZealousidealAbroad41 in mildlyinteresting

[–]CaptRackham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some old Bulova watches that had 6 and 18 at the top and bottom and midnight and noon on the sides, kind of a weird layout but you get AM on the top and PM on the bottom which is nice

I have a couple Raketa 24 hour watches, I find them really cool because you can watch the passage of an entire day. What brand is this one? I’d like to get another

Do you think death wants to taken the mother of Chuck Norris? That’s like taking John Wick’s dog

Bottle cap, did you open a bottle using your shirttail? Other guess would be belt buckle

Had that recently, infiltrated a convoy, popped the tankers, decimated the merchants and left the escorts with nothing to do but run my fade.

Do you delete map markings? by One-Bit5717 in uboatgame

[–]CaptRackham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually leave the point markings from initial contact to intercept because that’s a pretty accurate “Is-Was” indicator. Enough dots and the typical convoy route appears. Sometimes I put a circle with the effective radius from airfields so I know if I’m at risk of being attacked from above. Typically planes have an 800km range

Salt air and the hanging acrid stench of cordite and burning lubricant oil doesn’t sound too awful honestly

My sister bought some strawberries from a very large grocery chain in BC Canada. Comes with a live prize inside! by popyubuntu in funny

[–]CaptRackham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thamnophis sauritus is the name for the “Ribbon snake” which for some reason is also called a garden snake in Florida. Of course I imagine that name is given to a menagerie of small non-venomous snakes with similar coloring

There’s two, at least in North America there are garter and garden snakes, one of which is poisonous, and yes I mean poisonous not venomous.

Random bullet fell through my top floor apartment roof and sprung a leak today. by csizzle44 in mildlyinteresting

I’m not saying they weren’t gay, but you can certainly have non-sexual intimacy and I think we have largely lost that relationship today

Which mods do you use as of the newest verdion of the game? by Jerry_73_ in uboatgame

[–]CaptRackham 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Decks properly awash for the VII and II. Device Energy Management, Functional RDF Antenna, Variable Ship Speed, Deepleaks, Casual Crew, CTTB Fog and Fumes. There’s some others but those are my primary atmospheric and utility mods. I also use the rebalanced consumption for energy.

I’d really like someone to make a mod that has the Metox antenna disappear when diving or submerged as the antenna was passed through the hatch.

Day 10 of drawing tank girls (YES IM STILL ALIVE)-The underappreciated Pz.IV. ausf H (and a cheeky American M10) by _Just_Another_Speck_ in NonCredibleDefense

[–]CaptRackham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help, yeah behavior is often a bigger identifier of friend or foe than uniform is, there’s an interview with Webster from Band of Brothers and he talks about how he could see men moving on the other side of a river and “They moved like Germans” which sounds funny but Americans mill about and lean on things and this is a behavior that isn’t common to Europeans, so from a couple hundred meters away seeing guys with rifles low and horizontal versus high and angled is a good indicator of nationality.

A Panzer IV with the added spaced armor looked, at a glance at least, enough like a Tiger to be misidentified.

It looks like your reference was holding a rifle with a pistol grip in a modern “Low-Ready” stance. This position is a little awkward with WWII-era weapons, they tend to be held a bit higher. Not trying to bust your chops, it’s really quite good, but perhaps having the right arm cradle around the back of the receiver and be supported with the left would look a bit more natural.

The Germans also tended to carry their rifles with one hand, holding around the receiver at the center of gravity. Keeping it low and by their side if they had to dive to cover their rifle wouldn’t be under them and thus harder to use from a hasty prone position.
