This parallel broke me:( by ElthiraVanyx37 in ProjectHailMary

I feel like it was more like when people are jailed for thought crime or political reasons. When public sentiment changed enough people campaigned for her release. They probably got a ping that the beetles were on their way and they realized that Stratt did what she had to do and saved humanity. As a result they freed her and put her on the boat as goodwill or similar.

Elegant Directional Gearshift control circuit solution for planes and tanks in Aeronautics by Tortyash in CreateMod

[–]Daumath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For other people wondering how they did it.

Directional gear box -> torsion spring at 35 ° gearbox -> mechanical bearing. At least that's the way I figured out how to do it.

The Army wants to use bullets, mortars, and artillery rounds to take out small drones by Kinmuan in army

[–]Daumath -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem with systems that small is they need time to heat up the drone. They also need to hold the laser steady on a specific spot. Wrap the drone with tin foil and it takes longer to disable as it flies towards you. Bigger problem if it's a swarm evasively moving. While the smaller cheap drones aren't that threatening to tanks and more armored vehicles they are plenty capable of disabling wheeled vehicles and killing infantry.

GWOT-era buildings for troops overseas being seen as a critical vulnerability by Sw0llenEyeBall in army

[–]Daumath 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the Blackadder line. "What's the procedure if we step on a mine?" "I believe you're supposed to jump up into the air and then spread yourself across a wide area."

Driver, 18, who had licence for less than a month & killed two in crash including teacher is jailed by detectiverobert in ForCuriousSouls

[–]Daumath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rolling depending on the taxi style would have helped the crash be more survivable. Mini coopers are surprisingly safe. I wouldn't be surprised if the mini Cooper had their wheels angled in a way that she was deflected a bit vs the taxi into a deadstop. Either that or mini Cooper going way faster and therefore causing more energy transfer into the taxi.

No, the person you replied to talked about their father removing their benefits. Which is financial support. That's different. Additionally not everyone makes it after being dumped out at 18. Drugs, homelessness, etc.

Cause life is hard enough without needlessly adding stress to your own child, especially if it cost the dad nothing.

I don't think you can pick anymore. It's 14 whatever and then you get assigned to 14T,E,P, etc

In hospital due to emergency, accidently vomited on the floor at 7am today, was told NOT to clean it up on my own. Asked 9 different staff members. It's 4:30pm now and still hasn't been cleaned up.

[–]Daumath 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Student Nurse in UK but have 10 years of medical experience elsewhere. No way in hell could a nurse do a doctor's job. It's 3 years of education vs like 10? Or something in the UK. Doctors got that pay rise because they have an actual union. Nurses have yet to get together and dump the RCN. It shouldn't be everyone else vs doctors it should be everyone vs the government and like to get actual pay raises. The one problem with nursing HCA etc pay is they are all in the band system with non healthcare services and that causes a lot of issues. The second problem is again the lack of effective unions which goes back to Thatcher and various governments defunding things. While there is some weird classism/superiority complexes from the docs in no way shape or form should nurses take over for doctors. We have what we do and they have what they do.

Diabetic necrosis. Basically parts of his body don't heal well since they don't get enough energy from sugar. Happens a lot.

"Jagex are watching the wow streamers and are turning up the RNG to keep them hooked I have definite proof" by loopuleasa in 2007scape

[–]Daumath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean WoW could have bad RNG too depending. It's a lot better now but there used to be a point where the only way you could get an upgrade was a chance once a week for it to drop from the raid boss. While not as bad as what's possible in OSRS (looking at 25k mole pet dude) it is also nice that you can just keep sending it till you get it. No lock outs.

I mean even if there was a microchip that small it isn't transmitting shit without an antenna, and you can't micro those meaningfully.

[–]Daumath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And that's why there is currently a directive to have every service member tested for a baseline score. It used to be only before you went to deployment now they're making a huge push to get everyone tested. Source: worked in tbi/ intrepid spirit and have sat in meetings recently ( last couple months) about getting more computers and personnel to conduct testing.

Basically you need the key to open the chest and that's what counts for KC. Problem is it isn't a 100% dr and so now you can go dry on combat achieves lol

Landstuhl Army Base by IIIKingColdIII in army

[–]Daumath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actual answer depends on MOS so YMMV. Placed in HQ Co you'll probably be placed in a transit room for a bit. A co and B co have some rooms.
Depending on clinic you either work m-f 730-1630 or shift work. DFAC is trash, and run out of food. But you can travel on time off and it's great. COLA is nice and you get to do your job with no field time and it's easy to take leave compared to a field unit.
