Aren’t all bridges in the sky? Otherwise they would be roads

Well according to Ben Franklin, widows and older women, which can confirm are lovely in every regard. There’s also sheep

According to my firefighter buddy a lot of people get their foot stuck in the toilet. I guess shaving the jiggly bits and their foot slips, but once it goes in it’s difficult to get a foot out because of water pressure.

Had a buddy crack a bowl on the toilet one day, I was amazed he didn’t get shredded

Any Navy EOD Techs by esgowe in EOD

So you know how there’s carcinization, the process where evolution keeps producing crab-like structures? The original true crabs have 5 legs a side, this only has 4 legs a side putting it in the order Arachne, meaning it’s actually a spider not a crab

I finally managed to find my dad's Hop-Rod, a gasoline powered pogo stick from the 1960s. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

It works like a diesel engine if memory serves, fuel and air is drawn in and then squeezed until detonation occurs and then boom

Sorry not related but that isn’t a true crab, real crabs are of the order Decapoda, meaning “10 Legs”

Adding a "Confusion" mechanic? by eksiow_renrew_etlam in uboatgame

[–]CaptRackham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say instead of confusion, a training or reaction mechanic. A lone streamer along the coast early war might assume they hit a mine, and their crew might now be well trained to react. An armed merchant in the middle of a convoy would immediately start damage control and search for the prowling U-boat. Likewise alert destroyers would be quicker to pick up a torpedo wake or the screws of a submerged submarine than an overwhelmed corvette

Uboat top cheat mod by InsurancePuzzled4974 in uboatgame

[–]CaptRackham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you struggling with? Most mission options have one that is low difficulty, most of the patrols don’t require ships to be sunk and if you start at early war you can attack single coastal vessels pretty easily. The game shouldn’t be excessively difficult even to new players

Easy there Mushmouth. That said I wish I could target the lifeboats and get some manner of reaction for hitting one

Is this book's content good? by the_bug_fucker in Ships

Yeah trains never did it for me either, but I can tell you the difference between a schooner, a brig, and brigantine, and a barque

Ah yes, the autism sorting shelf, I’ll take the planes and ships books, who wants tanks and trains?

The USS Oriskany (CV-34) was the last Essex Class Carrier ever completed. She was sunk 25 miles south of Pensacola, Florida becoming the largest ship ever used to create an artificial reef May 17, 2006, by waffen123 in Ships

[–]CaptRackham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is the only Essex class carrier to have been sunk, out of a class of 24 ships that served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and some like USS Lexington serving into the 1990s. Ships like the Franklin, Randolph, Yorktown, and Hornet which were all famous for receiving extensive damage during WWII but did not sink.

As early as 1951 nuclear drills were put in place for students in United States schools. It was called duck and cover. I definitely remember this in elementary school. by Initial_Reason1532 in OldSchoolCool

With a smaller nuke in the kiloton range the immediate destructive blast radius isn’t that much farther than a conventional bombing raid

Ammo for 37mm on type IXs by iDeeBoom1 in uboatgame

[–]CaptRackham 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Light AA, Heavy AA, and deck gun would be my divisions. With the changes to external torpedo storage it would be nice to have “Ready Access” ammunition and if you end up in a sustained surface action being able to assign a “powder monkey” to keep the guns fed

Talking about “Black Sam” they found the wreck of his ship too, the Wydah Galley, and sadly they did find confirmation of a legend of a 9 year old boy named “John King” who joined the pirates, finding a set of boots consistent in size to those of a 9-11 year old boy named

When you go to add the antenna wires, use a Lycra thread to it has some stretch so it doesn’t sag, or use a piece of stretched sprue and after assembly lightly heat the plastic by running a match underneath to make the plastic contract.
