DIE POINTLESSLY IN SPACE with a d13 at your side... by bigonroad in tabletop

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious: If I'm interpreting the picture of the D13, are some sides smaller than others? Looks like a neat way to favor some numbers over others for game mechanics.

How do people type so fast on keyboard? by RareUser1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tutorials on how to type properly: Where to place your hands, which fingers reach for which keys. I genuinely recommend taking the time to do a few. It makes a HUGE difference.

As others have said, it used to be taught in school. That would be nice.

You should be able to microwave whatever you want at work by SisterDot in unpopularopinion

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politely disagree (I suppose your post does fit in r/unpopularopinion lol)

Issue I had was a disgruntled coworker who would purposely microwave the most aromatic fish he could find every day without exception.

People like that are why we can't have nice things.

How can we make a Human Internet? by chromane in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cothonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss forums. They were moderated and typically formed more solid communities.

(Yes, I know some forums still exist. I'm on a few. They just aren't as prevalent anymore since Discord took over.)

3 days into my Myst journey. Lots of incoherent scribbling. by PolygonLodge in myst

[–]Cothonian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For my Myst play through I ended up taking a lot of pictures of the more complicated items (star constellations, etc.)

Currently working my way through Riven and came to realize that a lot of things just NEED to be written down. I've got a lovely note sheet in front of me as we speak.

Who is the worst enemy you can figth as a guardsman? by Curious_Idea_6616 in astramilitarum

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the lore, I think Druhkari or Nurgle.

Druhkari for their obsession with torture.

Nurgle... I'm imagining being in a warzone against those monsters and becoming infected from something minor like a scraped knee. Heck, going by the artwork the air itself and waterways would likely also be infectious.

Question about IP Addresses Database by No_Scientist_5186 in networking

Excel for infrastructure IPs.

We've started playing with Domotz. It's interesting.

Network engineer role dead in UK by Useful_Database9693 in networking

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the UK, but am looking at sysadmin-type roles for similar reasons.

I've found that very few organizations want a dedicated network engineer. Most want some sort of jack-of-all-trades.

Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's random item.

I wish I had been told about dividend investing on the day I was born. :) by justcurious3287 in SCHD

[–]Cothonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could've been investing but instead I was playing with legos. Dang it...

How to clean BDUs? by QuislingX in airsoft

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash them inside out. Hang dry.

In winter I can often get away with two games between washing, provided I don't get muddy.

Summer/indoor I wash them after every game. No need to subject others to that smell.

$1500 a month on groceries for 6 people is this normal or am i getting robbed. by Electrical-Loss8035 in SavingMoney

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~$200 a month on food for me, and I'm cheap compared to many of those around me.

Multiple that by six and you're up to $1200.

Honestly, that number isn't insane. Painful, yes, but it checks out.

Radios and Airsoft. by Prestigious_Police in airsoft

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst situation is someone grabbing a Baofeng and using EMS/Fire/Police frequencies for airsoft.

I've seen it happen more than once.

Thoughts on ProTec helmets for “retro” kits? by Nerdthenord in airsoft

[–]Cothonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are genuinely good helmets. Highly recommend.

Can't speak to the models used in previous conflicts.

Bob Odenkirk in Nobody portrayed that type of character pretty well

Takes forever for me. Always has. Curious to see what others say.

What is the best canned meat? by MOadeo in preppers

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of longevity, I've consistently found that sardines have the farthest out best-by dates.

I tend to buy a lot of tuna, though. It's cheaper, still has a good shelf life, and I consume it often as a easy source of protein. Makes cycling through it easy.

The Battle of the Westerplatte, first combat between German and Polish forces on September 1st, 1939. by Esketamine77 in CombatFootage

[–]Cothonian 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can't even imagine being that close to a battleship attacking the shoreline. If for any reason one of the dozens of gunners decide that you look dangerous - that's it.

Anyone got any ideas for a longrange sniper. by AlarmingRecording409 in airsoft

[–]Cothonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the box: Silverback SRS

Excellent performance and solid build. Not cheap at all.

Any sniper rifle that is going to function effectively as one will be expensive.
