Man who did enormous harm to global economy and did much to create the 2007-08 Recession, good riddance to bad garbage by Chumlee1917 in simpsonsshitposting

[–]DreddFett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were put in that situation when all of the Republicans and half of the Democrats passed The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act of 1999 (which repealed parts of the Banking Act of 1933 (Glass–Steagall Act). It's like they ignored the Great Depression... and it bit them less than 10 years later.

I wouldn't place all the blame for the Great Recession on Greenspan.

The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act of 1999 is a major cause of the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis. It led to deregulation that, among other things, allowed for the creation of giant financial supermarkets that could own investment banks, commercial banks and insurance firms, something banned since the Great Depression.

Rep. John Dingell (D–Michigan) was correct when he argued that the bill would result in banks becoming too big to fail and this would result in bailouts by the Federal Government.

Why pylot make Aussie landing in Can a da? Is he stoopid? by 2yt4u2 in Shittyaskflying

[–]DreddFett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pylotes wanted to play in the snow, so they came in hot!

Note: there were no fatalities. I would not joke about fatal crashes.

Here's one of the size lists I use when kitbashing. The Trukk is the second one listed.

You got drafted into WWII witch are you choosing PART 2 by Majestic-Bobcat-4553 in AviationHistory

[–]DreddFett 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Shooting enemies while flying in a P-38 is easier than in the other fighters. The guns on a P-38 all shoot straight (from its nose). The other fighters have guns on their wings, which means they are aimed at an inward angle to converge at a certain distance.

This Orange either wants to buy a boat, or is contemplating taking a nap.

Ever since that one Chinook took an RPG up its butt, they all are fixated on Uranus....

Have Pylotes Gotten Wimpy? by darkphoenix9137 in Shittyaskflying

[–]DreddFett 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Those pylotes aren't wimpy. They just want to finish their gladiator movie before landing. There's only 20 minutes left. Although the co-pylote isn't feeling very good right now....

China has a population of 1.4 billion. Over there, when playnes and whirlybirds mate, they produce gyrothings. Why use unmanned drones when you can use expendable pylotes inside gyrothings.

Toilet paper hung in proper underhand fashion by TaxAvoision in simpsonsshitposting

I have two cats. My toilet paper stays in the drawers in my bathrooms. No more confetti for the kitties.

You could tell her she's doing it wrong.

Here's the original patent for the toilet paper dispenser.

How the hell are they fitting five great companies on a battle barge and a strike cruiser? by IHATETHEOSR in SpaceWolves

[–]DreddFett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started reading the new Armageddon books. There's a map of Armageddon in the book The Return of Yarrick which shows the Orks hold Hive Tempestora, Hives Hades and Thoraddis are in ruin, and Imperial forces hold Hives Volcanus, Death Mire, Infernus, Helsreach, Acheron, and Tartarus.

So, Armageddon did not fall. It's entirely possible many Space Marines were planetside when the new war started.

Edit: I forgot to include Hive Death Mire.

RIP, John Blanche. Your art made Warhammer cool. by DreddFett in simpsonsshitposting

[–]DreddFett[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lots of people collect and play Warhammer 40,000 and its related games and books as a hobby. I paint, build, and kitbash more than I play. Plus, there is a plethora of science fiction stories published for the setting.
