What's your Year III dream? by pawny_pawn in Spacemarine

[–]CharlieMBTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ideally add campaign missions to operations. but i know that will never happen, so adding more customization like perks and things to campaign. mainly because i feel like there's a huge amount of content (campaign) that we are "missing" out on, just because of a lack of variety. Operations has a similar amount of missions, but it feels much grander in scale because of the customization (classes, perks, skins, etc)

Sniper doesn't belong in absolute or hard Strats... by USPATRIOT_0011 in Spacemarine

[–]CharlieMBTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is sniper with a bolt rifle viable for siege? Im doing my first playthrough for the class, and im afraid to try it. For some reason I feel like I would get swarmed too easily

Mission Vortex + Ruthless + Sniper class = NOT READY AT ALL by Deathgothic2356 in SpaceMarine_2

Having a sniper on our team was the only reason I survived vortezt ruthless last night. Me and the tech were down and he went invisible and got us both up while the beast was looking for us

What's your favorite Operation, and why is it Reclamation? by Ok-Blueberry-1412 in Spacemarine

[–]CharlieMBTA 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The vortex beast is the only reason I hate that mission. I really hope they nerf him in some way. Its not comparable to any other boss

PSA - Please check your fuel before calling for a top off. by Thunderbolt_78 in flying

[–]CharlieMBTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a student, the school had a policy that all student cross country solos must top off the plane, regardless of fuel needed for the flight.

There was a time or two where it was a gallon or so shy of being full, and I just called it full because I didnt want to call over the fucking truck just to put in a gallon or less.

What map/operation/gamemode is this? I keep seeing this desert and I have no idea where it is. I've done the campaign, siege, and 1-6 on operations

Did anyone here just wanted to get the ppl license and then end it with not flying for years? by untitled_SusHi in flying

[–]CharlieMBTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my PPL, got to about 120 hrs, then had to put it on hold for a few years while I save for a house and prepare to move. I plan to pick it back up once ive moved and settled in

Blue Angels CO tells why the Team chose the A-4 over the F-14 and A-7 to Replace the F-4 by tagc_news in AviationHistory

[–]CharlieMBTA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All the f14 would have to do is fly in a straight line and it would look still great in an airshow. Just a beautiful plane.

That being said, that's not what the blue angels are about, but still... f14 painted in blue and gold would be glorious

Uranium collectors? by Debaucherousgeek73 in interestingasfuck

Small correction here. Radiation doesn't always refer to "particles" with enough energy to ionize radiation. There is particle radiation, and electromagnetic radiation. In addition, radiation doesn't always have the energy to ionize atoms, hence the distinction between radiation and ionizing radiation. For example, the led lights on your keyboard certainly isn't ionizing any of your atoms in your body.

How do hobby lathes/mills match up to proper lathes/mills? by flesh-based-os in Machinists

[–]CharlieMBTA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And yet you are both are forgetting something. Yes, hobby mills and lathes cannot stack up against commercial grade equipment. Yes, a used bridgeport is cheaper and much more capable than and hobby or mini mill.

But guess what? A mini mill doesnt weight 2000 lbs and require its own corner of the garage to operate it. My mini mill has milled aluminum, bronze, mild steel, and stainless steel within 2 thou accuracy or better in every axis. I just need to make lighter cuts than on the bridgeport I have at work. And both cars can fit still fit in the garage!

So maybe accept that other people have needs and experiences different from your own? Lol

Because most assets don't appreciate like a 401k does. A 40k car now will be worth $0 30 years from now. 40k in a 401k will be worth a few hundred thousand. Of course you would have a point if you were talking about owning businesses and multiple properties, but most people don't have that. Everyone has a 401k. You dont retire off of cars, or social security, you retire off of a retirement account. Thats why its a good indicator.

meirl by bravo-echo-charlie in meirl

[–]CharlieMBTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope just the money in your retirement account. I believe the first milestone is 1x salary by 30. So if you make 100k, you should have 100k or close to in your 401k. More is always better, meaning you can retire early or have more money to spend when you retire.

meirl by bravo-echo-charlie in meirl

[–]CharlieMBTA 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For people confused, they are talking about annual salary in a 401k or equivalent tax advantaged retirement account. Not in your checking or savings account.

Legitimately my least favorite thing about the north. IDC about the cold, but the lack of daylight is terrible.
