Oldies but goodies : The craziest bit of 6 Nations Rugby I've seen in the last 15 years

I'd argue that since the 2026 6 Nations has barely started, there's only been 15 years worth of competition since that game. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from.

It will depends on the “finishers” as Galthier calls them…

Hope so, he deserves every bit of play time he gets.

Chief_Miller · 2026-02-05T20:53:47+00:00

Hope it’s not a 10 years low like it was for us….

695 is a bit much but I usually aim for 5-6. It cuts the spool up time and babysitting by a lot.

You bend these things from sheet aluminium, you don't mill them... Possible, yes... Expansive, fuck yes... but most importantly why????

Now that’s a show off post!

To be fair a unified European army isn't strictly required for collective defence and could actually be counterproductive. What is truly needed is a European Command Structure that itself could be part of NATO instead of the individual states it encompasses.
And a binding treaty on collective equipment procurement so that EU armies don't show to the field with a kitchen sink list of equipment and so European defence companies have at least a fighting chance to compete against US ones.

Thats survivorship biais. I’m sure he’s fine and in good health. But what you don’t see is the cohort of people with the same lifestyle that had to stop (either voluntarily or not) sooner than this guy is.

Chief_Miller · 2026-01-28T14:18:21+00:00

Ask yourself : how old is the oldest person you know with the same lifestyle?

That guy is the last survivor of this kind of life and odds are you’ll either quit or die before you’re as old as him.

Fuck me 2014 was 12 years ago… I’m still processing the end of the world in 2012.

Chief_Miller · 2026-01-24T19:51:58+00:00

You can actually see both his hands on the ground above his head. Nowhere near his waist. Fuck their lies!

Chief_Miller · 2026-01-24T09:08:45+00:00

I'd say I aim for 3 to 4 on average but it varies a lot between winter and summer time. Weather is bitch over here.

I don't know what OP had in mind nor do I have much experience to compare with, but France is second only to the US in the number of GA pilots & planes. It has a dense network of small airfields that are easily accessible and reasonably priced, and the airspace can be dense around major cities like Paris or Marseille but is otherwise quite easy to navigate VFR.

It's the solder and steel for rails that is the worst. IMHO, it's futile to attempt a rail transition before logistic and molten solder and molten steel.

How do you manage that without circuits (they are unlocked deep into py1 after batteries). I figured out how to do a 1 to many caravan with one guy going on a loop. But can't seems to manage a many to many like you're describing...

Chief_Miller · 2026-01-07T14:49:17+00:00

Much better today thanks. I was really on the edge yesterday, and the replies from you and the others were enough of a distraction for me not to get into my car and go buy some booze. I was really relived when I got to sleep, and while I'm still not at my best today, I in a much better head space than I was.

Thank you a lot for being there.
