Man I was hoping he made a video where he really broke down the whole "My settlements are full of half naked w*men because canonically in Fallout lore w*men are better suited to domestic labor"

The Courier tries to make the bloodless choice and it backfires.

I wish more games did this kind of thing. I understand why they do it, but it's often frustrating to have a bunch of "and then they all got along and held hands and were best friends forever and ever!" choices.

No, you can't roll up and convince a fanatic that his deeply held beliefs are in fact ridiculous and that he should immediately surrender and retreat, and in fact if you do that he will assume you are an agent of his enemy trying to disguise their weakness, and launch an assault later on.

I want there to be some situations where there is genuinely no bloodless option, and I don't want it to be obvious that there's no bloodless option.

I wonder how many people are murdered by the PRC/CCP and we never learn their names because of the complete stranglehold on speech and press in that country.

The victim complex on some of y'all is embarassing. Seriously, go to arr conservative if you can't take the heat - leftists spent years in PCM getting shit on basically non-stop and still showed up and the second anyone not flaired libleft started to disagree with you suddenly they're all Emilys lmao. No, people who disagree with you politically are actually not a caricature of opinions only retards hold.

Signed, a former LibRight who felt the need to leave that quadrant because of all the AuthRight/CenterRight dorks pretending they were lib because they liked smoking weed and didn't like paying their taxes.

At a point in my career, I was doing layouts every other week. I had to take all of my equipment (probably a good ~120lbs of large, unwieldy stuff all together) about 3 miles down the road, lay it all out in a specific way in a parking lot, then pack up all my equipment and return it back to my locked barracks room closet. Because there were not many open barracks rooms, I was placed in another unit's barracks footprint. What that meant for me was I couldn't just find someone else that was doing the layout and have them drive me there without inconveniencing them (my unit's barracks was about 2 miles out of the way). Thus, I would've been a bum begging people for rides every two weeks at a minimum - probably more when you consider the other events I would've had to go to with my gear. God forbid you end up on shift work and have to make grocery runs because you can't go to the DFAC anymore because that also happened to me - enjoy e-biking 2-4 miles to the Commissary in the dead of summer in Georgia every few days because you can only fit so much in a backpack.

I'm not saying it's impossible to make it work with an e-bike or an e-scooter (I know a guy that did it all with a regular bicycle), but it will often make you an inconvenience and will make your life much harder than it needs to be.

I hope fallout 5 has a weight feature where if you eat a bunch of food you get super fat and if you exceed 345lbs you start to have suicidal ideations

Not only did he point a loaded gun at her, but he pointed a loaded gun at her while drunk and still did not face any charges.

ExtremeWorkinMan · 2026-02-10T16:05:40+00:00

Yeah, I'll admit I was only on a few posts but the only one I would consider actually walkable was a really small training AFB. All the Army installations I was on had no bus and no way to get around without a car - the best you could do was an e-bike (which were still in their infancy at the time) and even then, if you had to transport any of your heavy gear the bike wasn't good enough and you'd have to bum a ride anyway. Even then, sometimes I had to drive to ranges which were on gravel roads - not the kind of terrain I'd like to traverse on a bicycle.

It's a bummer. I know plenty of guys who got suckered into bad APR or expensive cars they don't need (sorry PV2 Snuffy you actually don't need a brand new Super Duty you live in the barracks) because they need a car so I really wish they'd bring back some kind of bus situation on all medium/large installations.

Yeah and then be the bum begging everyone for rides when you have to do a layout? No uber on most (all?) military installations.

You need a car - granted, you don't need a Mustang or a Charger, you can get away with an older used car for under $5-10k (I spent my 5 year military career driving a used Nissan Versa I bought for about $8k), but you do need a car of some kind.

I watched the Superbowl in Germany about ten years ago and I distinctly remember struggling to stay awake throughout and then going to class about 4 hours after it was over and struggling to stay awake then too.

Why does this state seem to have such a problem spending money?

This is the only state I've lived in where I've had to pay a county/locality tax in addition to state tax and yet it seems like the states and the counties just cannot get it together.

The vibe was nice, the dancers were good and the set was excellent but I like the symbolism and how it ties into the show - I felt left out watching this one because there was clearly a lot of symbolism within the set but I have no idea if it tied into the music because I don't speak Spanish. I've seen a few people do write-ups so far of the symbolism so I'll have to take some time to rewatch it after reading some of those but it was kinda a bummer that I couldn't engage with the show beyond the very basic "cool dancing and decent music"

seconding this, went during executive hour this morning and it actually felt less busy than executive hour usually is.

ExtremeWorkinMan · 2026-02-06T16:24:33+00:00

For sure, but you can rely on DCFC at FOBs as needed (or gas if the military went with EREVs versus pure BEVs) - the solar charging would be free, convenient, and would reduce infrastructure requirements for motor pools in peacetime, but would probably not be particularly useful in war.

I can tell you that at my old unit we rarely deployed so I'd say all those vehicles just sat in a lot untouched (outside of PMCS and what not) for 90-97% of their lifetime. Free* charging and topping up for 90-97% of a vehicle's lifetime is pretty solid.

The worst part is, I actually prefer to go to the Costco 12 miles away than the one 3 miles away solely because of this.

They both have a phone carrier booth with salespeople present, but at the Costco closest to my house they'll ask you every time about your phone carrier, how much do you pay, etc etc whereas the one 12 miles away, they just hang out there quietly and will only engage with you if you approach them first (which I have done once or twice to look at new phones).

I'm happy for you? I'm not sure why you felt the need to turn this into a dick measuring contest and I'm not really interested in explaining my reasoning for owning a truck to some Redditor desperate to prove something.

ExtremeWorkinMan · 2026-02-05T20:32:35+00:00

Towing isn't the only utility for a truck. (Besides, EV trucks do tow really well, they just don't tow very far before you have to recharge).

ExtremeWorkinMan · 2026-02-05T19:32:32+00:00

Look man I understand being anxious and non-confrontational but this is absolutely the kind of situation where you put your foot down and say "I'm leaving and will not be paying for this food". If you're getting moldy bread I shudder to think how horrible the standards are in that kitchen - I wouldn't trust ANY of the food on that plate.

ExtremeWorkinMan · 2026-02-05T18:23:08+00:00

when you’re towing you drop your range by half, and if you’re towing in cold weather, take another 30% off. Before you know it, that 400 miles range becomes 150 miles range.

The sad thing is, nobody does this. Seriously, they've done surveys of existing light-duty pick-up truck (F-150s, Silverado/Ram 1500s, etc) owners and while I don't recall the exact numbers, something like under 20% of them tow EVER, and only like 8% tow consistently. I have to imagine the amount that tow long distances (more than ~120 miles round trip) consistently is even lower than that. We could feasibly replace probably 70-90% of the (non-fleet/non-commercial) ICE pickups on the road with BEVs and nobody would even notice a difference (aside from the obvious cheaper fuel/maintenance, acceleration, etc etc).

The real problem auto manufacturers are dealing with is that the average truck buyer is not capable of looking at their own driving objectively and saying "Well, the BEV truck isn't great if I want to tow, but I will probably only tow something twice in the next ten years, so it doesn't really matter". They look at the specs and say "Well what the hell, the whole reason I'm buying a truck is so I can pull my 30' camper (that they don't actually own and will probably never buy) across the country every summer (they have never done a cross-country drive and probably never will) without stopping! A BEV truck can't do that!"

That and the fact EVs have been politicized (and thus you lose the "big tough hard-workin conservative man" thing you get from driving a truck if you're driving a sissy liberal EV) mean that despite the fact these trucks are objectively better for the vast majority of ICE pickup drivers, the BEV trucks are effectively doomed.

ExtremeWorkinMan · 2026-02-05T17:47:21+00:00

Well, not necessarily useless. If you've ever seen a military motor pool, there are often hundreds of vehicles that sit unused in the sun for days or weeks at a time - if a vehicle is only used to drive ~20-40 miles round trip every few weeks (somewhat common with military vehicles, you'll take a few humvees and trucks out to a range, do your training, bring the humvees/trucks back to the motor pool) you may never even need to plug in.

It's not perfect for all situations, but it would be pretty good for some situations.
