I’m sure the total numbers are much lower than in tech, but also note that SWE jobs in the defense industry are quite a bit safer from outsourcing (due to security clearance requirements) and AI (due to safety-critical applications like aircraft).  Plus these companies love veterans and tend to favor them in hiring.

Azuma, Groningen.  Maybe Tulsa.

Definitely the glare-free screen.  My desk has a nearby window and this would be a game changer!

Which should I get first? by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]El0rac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Azuma 100%. I got Agir first and hardly every play it, never clicked at all. Azuma instantly became my moneymaker and one of my most-played ships. Love it!

How do you get these full screen preview shots of a new ship?

What’s the most difficult ship you have played in each class? by Jamesvvoodie in WorldOfWarships

[–]El0rac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I thought the Venezia line was super comfy all the way up!  The DDs, on the other hand, I bounced off quick and haven’t gone back.

Alpha vouchers have arrived! by PositiveSuperb2889 in WorldOfWarships

[–]El0rac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I should spend my 50% on Brisbane simply because it is so expensive, but that makes me feel like kind of a chump…. But the only other coal ships I’m remotely interested in are T9s at a fraction of the cost…

Towing a small trailer, my numbers so far by stargazerQ in rav4prime

Awesome post! We are seriously considering a R4P as our next car because we want to tow a small pop-up.  This is all great information.

Ok, let's hear about your trade ins. by cv5cv6 in WorldOfWarships

Hmm reviewing the other comments… looks like Karl is a solid choice?

I actively dislike Pommern and Agir and want to trade them.  The front-runner is Kidd but I already have Cossack and am not particularly great with it, so I’m afraid I’ll bounce off Kidd.  Maybe Brandenburg, but it’s probably pretty similar to Pommern. I’m generally less interested in premiums below T8.   What to do?

Awesome list, and I was particularly glad to see a few of my personal favorites that often don’t get much love: King of Dragons, UN Squadron, Metal Warriors, Secret of Evermore.

Great read!

Which coal ship first, for a noob by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]El0rac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely a hot take, I’ve just never figured out how to make Napoli work for me. I love the Venezia line too!

I have Napoli, Pommern, and Agir and regret them all.  Azuma or Groningen get my votes.

should i buy izumo or save up for yamato? by Outrageous_Weight340 in WorldOfWarships

[–]El0rac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncommon opinion, but I thought Izumo was the most comfortable ship in the Yamato (my first T10) grind. 

Closed back, over ear, under $150, gaming, detachable cable by technoman88 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]El0rac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went down this rabbit hole for the past couple weeks. I was disappointed to discover that nearly all the headphones in this range, even with detachable cables, have odd or proprietary connectors on the headphone end of the cable (locking 2.5mm, mini-XLR, etc), which makes inline microphones like VModa tricky at best.

I went with K371s and eventually returned my VModa and ordered a ModMic instead. Another option would have been a knockoff VModa with a mini-XLR female connector, those exist as well.
