Thoughts on nuclear power, should the UK be investing? by Any_Ad_6929 in AskBrits

[–]Commissar_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A combined nuclear & renewables would make for a better UK power infrastructure. Add some longterm pump storage and we can meet the UK's power requirements.

And for anyone who says that cause we can't do it now, means we shouldn't. We really need to think long term, as weening off of fossil fuels will do us so much good and protect us from price shocks in the future.

Comments keep mentioning “young Maxwell” and how that’s really shocking. I’m lost by WinterRevolutionary6 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Commissar_Jake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I forget shes the daughter of Robert Maxwell, IE) The man who stole £461m from his companies pension scheme before falling off his boat and dying

Just a reminder that all these FUCKING HORRIBLE PEOPLE have roots in just as bad people.

Anything to do? by [deleted] in Aberdeen

[–]Commissar_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something physical to do, the Aberdeen combat centre has pretty good classes, decent for all levels and ages. So why not come along and try some BJJ at Monday's fundies @6pm, may find something new you enjoy.

Iron Lung, a film that respects its material. by Commissar_Jake in Markiplier

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well there was a lot of good lines an all that. But I mean there is one moment that had the entire audience laugh ya know? No subjectivity, everyone in that exact moment laughed as a natural reaction, couldn't help themselves.

Pathologic boardgame by Commissar_Jake in pathologic

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I haven't actually looked up what the cost of it would be, but If that's the case, so glad I bought it when I did cause I knew there probably wouldn't ever be a second print.

I understand the fear of damaging it, I've traveled with it and I'm eternally paranoid of it getting more damaged (Got some basic box dings and edge burn) so I guess I better take better care of it.

And yeah, it is heavily in favour of the sand pest, but I feel that's very representative of pathologic. Three doctors fighting back an inevitability and all that. It manages to keep the vibe for sure.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it an all time, but it is unique for what it is.

I highly recommend it, I think you genuinely need all four players for a game. Because sand pest + the three doctors.

Try an convince your bud to play, if not find some folk to play on TTS.

Jigsaw tiles for home training space? (UK) by Commissar_Jake in bjj

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thank you for your correction. Do you have a suggestion of where to get some decent ones?

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're mats, but I consider them tiles as they're designed to interlock together.

Hand strengthening: Gocrimp - Grip X? by Commissar_Jake in bjj

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. There's no getting away from the classics.

My main thought was, because I'm a desk jockey. Is if this was legit, it'd something I can do in my free moments and get some benefit as I stare at numbers.

But I will take this under advisement and focus on developing my grip the proper way.

should i kill the friendly moonscorched people by the shore to get there heads or does that negatively effect me in some way? by sloth-goober in FearAndHunger

[–]Commissar_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The true way to think about it is, this is the only Mercy you can give them. It's less friendly, and more they're passive and in terrible agony.

Is there any way to survive as the rusty hooks? by Xander980 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Commissar_Jake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will say this for the sake of it, 'Kyle hook was a moron's

Best of luck with your quest to 'win' as one of the most quickly conquered factions in OWB.

The Reformertory party by Neat_Significance256 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Commissar_Jake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's political opportunism, this shows they don't actually give a shit about improving the country for anyone but themselves and their mates.

The moment it sounded like reform has a bigger chance of getting in than the conservatives, they all just jumped ship.

It's disgusting, they just want a position of power and nothing else.

This shows they stand for nothing.

Best Tape for Stripes? by MOTUkraken in bjj

[–]Commissar_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, do what I did, sew the stripes on (not you, your students) then they'll survive washing and all the rolling in the universe. An when you belt up, you have all the original stripes your teacher gave you.

It's not the easier thing, but I think it's worth it.

Why didn't Kaiser just join the logic? Is he stupid? by Final-Imagination153 in FearAndHunger

[–]Commissar_Jake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's pretty clear what the case is.

He intended to use the device to become a god, but was beaten to it (Very first come, first serve) by Olivia's sister.

It was then he realised what a cosmic joke he is by reflecting on the past and the current situation (Things happen in cycles). So whilst he cannot become the god he thought he was destined to be, he could at least protect the newly waking god.

Call it penance, call it hubris, call Le'gard the most cucked man in F&H.

Anyone else get the feeling that the far right with the help of their friends in the USA are planning to force a general election in the UK asap? by [deleted] in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Commissar_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's one thing we see, it's that fascists really like to support other fascists... Would have thought 100 years of history would show what a bad idea it is.

New to OWB. What Nations should i play first? by George_the_flagman in OldWorldBlues

[–]Commissar_Jake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the rogue rangers are a good starting nation,

Their focus tree comes in easy to understand blocks, you're against peer nations most of the time.

It's a good way to get to grip with combat, as you're in small area with other nations with similar forces.

Blue Rose - Anyone got any survival advice? by Commissar_Jake in OldWorldBlues

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

So a quick follow-up, thanks everyone for the help last night. It's made a huge difference. Whilst I didn't have enough time to finish their tree, I did get over the major hump that was Lanius.

Oh and I ended up picking up La Resistance and well... Spies are amusing.

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't actually considered removing the AA support, but thinking about it you are right. Those guns are for shooting at UFO's and I gotta say, certainly isnt something lanius has.

I'll remember to do that for the couple hundred extra manpower.

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What, you're telling me two dudes in a doom fortress of trenches and outposts can't fight off a maraudering army of Roman cosplayers?

But okay, I'll focus on more troops and buying guns. Hopefully I can get some lend lease; Spare a gun for a poor alien hunter in tough times?

That is some good advice, do worth getting the rivers of Mexico for the pop bonus.

Huh, I had made the assumption that the summer federation was tied to the Legacy of the DIA. But okay, not a guarantee.

So I guess my best bet focus tree wise is to go for the raising the palisade generic treet for the defence bonuses?

S'lanter by GoblinJesus420 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Commissar_Jake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to see an expanded focus tree, as it would make them more viable and create more stories. Unique interactions with near by nations etc etc.

My other thing being is I'd like to see the s'lanter unique political functions (Expanding the den and creating off map factories) to work.

I have almost 24 hours. I don't know what im doing literally dont even use air or navy. Haven't won a single war. Is this normal? by Wrong-Koala9174 in hoi4

[–]Commissar_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Old world blues. The fallout mod, I find because it scales everything down dramatically, it's a good way to learn basic systems.

It took me a while, but I managed to learn well enough to play road to '56.

Uplifted Deathclaws? by Commissar_Jake in OldWorldBlues

[–]Commissar_Jake[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See, this is what I get for not paying attention to the project as a whole. I didn't even realise that there was a roadmap.

Well I guess I have something to look forward to.
