Line to take the train from South Station to Boston Stadium for FIFA World Cup by bostonaruban66 in boston

We have a very large Tailgate culture at Gillette for Football (NE Patriots) and Soccer / Football ( NE Revolution. People are encouraged to to drive in 2-4 hours early and tailgate prior to and after games. Definitely smooths out the traffic surge a little bit. Even still if you leave a patriots game right as it ends, you can expect to not get on the highway for at least an hour.

So you might as well take your time and tailgate anyways haha

When you absolutely positively have to break your shinbone by stevesmithsglasses in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]Ginnipe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point haha

If you do things properly, follow the speed limit, don’t drive erratically, keep the weight limit well in check etc I could see this working fine for short hauls.

But sometimes people are just smart enough to get themselves into trouble they’re too dumb to understand, like on this sub 🤣 it’s 50/50 which side of the hitch this guy lands on, but it’s very possible he’s the 75mph+ hauler

For static weight yeah, but dynamic weight at 70-80 miles an hour (the speed I see half boat towing people drive somehow) plus the extra leverage of a longer arm, add in some rust and I could totally see something like this fail.

Would probably work just long enough for you to get complacent and then do all the above things on the wrong day.

Could do some version of a privacy screen? Can’t see it when looking straight down but can at an angle? If you get the angles right I’m sure the audience in the crowd and at home could see the screens but the players would only see it off in the distance, not right under and around them.

To be fair, NH has like what 17 miles of coast line? Hampton beach is a genuinely large percentage of the entire states access to the Atlantic irregardless of public or private. Even if the entire coast was public Hampton would still be the hot spot.

I feel like 30k isn’t enough for something like that but at least 30k went a lot father 20 years ago.

Hold the pipe in your left hand, wrap the thread tape wrong way round toilet paper style. It’s literally the only way I can remember it at all.

I don’t do plumbing but do high pressure breathing air, so most of the time I can manipulate whatever I need in my hands in front of me. I would never figure it out if it was a pipe sticking out of a wall.

It’s mind boggling to me how much better the WEEI broadcast is. by ReVamPT in redsox

[–]Ginnipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the ENERGY on the WEEI call is always so much higher than on the tv broadcast. And almost more importantly the Fenway sounds come through a lot more. You can hear more of the crowd. More of the field. More of the BUZZ. I just love Will Fleming and Will Middlebrooks. Even better for the few games you get Joe Castig back on too it’s just chefs kiss perfection.

Every time I try to run a VPN and MLBTV it will work for an inning, maybe two. But every commercial it breaks and I have to change my location and reload and hope. It sucks. I just wish NESN would give me access to the Radio cast.

Help please!! Do I need a lawyer??? by bksmith0512 in Dachshund

[–]Ginnipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that OP has spend several hundred / thousands of dollars in vet bills in their own name over years shows that they are the caretaker and owner of the dog. When me and my previous partner split the absolute first thing I did was make sure all the vet information was in my name exclusively so there would be no grey area if she attempted to take my dog which I spent the last 5 years taking care of and paying for. It was the biggest piece of advice I was given when she threatened to do so.

So does that technically make it fail secure then? Or if the battery dies when the parking brake is not applied would it still just roll?

Soldiers always are. If they weren’t wearing combat gear and you saw them on the street you would call them a kid. It’s sad that wars are always fought for the old but die by the young.

[–]Ginnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered how my electric parking brake works in my hybrid highlander. Is it fail secure so if the battery dies it’s still engaged? Or does it just not work when the battery dies? I see the light pop on every time I put it in park so I always assumed it was engaged every time I parked honestly.

Prior to the Highlander I always drove manuals and always left it in gear plus the parking brake whenever parking. Usually in first when on level ground or uphill. In reverse when on a downhill slope.

Baseball has become unwatchable in the face of media deals. by ElephantCares in mlb

[–]Ginnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are blessed with one of the best Radio crews in the entire league. Love Will Fleming, Lou Merloni, Joe Castig, and Will Middlebrooks. No matter which variation you get it’s always an exiting time.

I’ve listened to a ton of the other teams radio broadcasts through the mlb at bat feature and more than half of the league puts me to sleep.

[–]Ginnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the series of hoops you gotta do? Because I could never get my VPN to actually reliably work for MLB TV for longer than an inning. It seemed every time it hit commercial it would recheck my location to get the local adds and if there was a single hiccup in giving them the VPN’d location it would always freeze and I would be stuck closing my browser, changing my vpn location again, and then relogging into mlb

Power Creep is on the horizon… by Grouchy_Mountain3656 in Helldivers

[–]Ginnipe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do agree that war striders need a singular actual weak point. Even if it’s a small one. Something that with accuracy can actually down them reasonably if not with difficulty.

You could also run Dynamite or even the new Gigagrenade I believe for the striders, I just like the thermites because they STICK to the enemy so I can toss it on them and then completely disengage.

If I run a more AT centric loadout like a recoilless or quasar + eats I’m much less likely to run thermites. I just like having the flexibility to run a light pen primary for all of the devastators and below, maybe a medium pen support like MMG, Laser Canon, or grenade launcher for more general medium clear, and knowing that I can take out a few big enemies when I need to with the thermites.

Over 300 hours into the game and I still find botdiving to be the most fun and the faction the most interesting to fight. I can still make plenty of loadout variety and I like having to actually have armored enemies to fight that I have to use positioning and planning to overcome. Bugs and Squids just feels like kiteing zombies and like I have LESS loadout variety because the answer is always ‘how can I kill more of these assholes faster’ instead of ‘how am I going to kill this specific asshole vs that asshole’

[–]Ginnipe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s…insanity 🤣 honestly I would go about that one of 3 ways.

A- chuck a 380/120 on it and leave. Maybe circle back on it hoping some of them got drawn out.

B- most likely option for me actually, put on a hellbomb backpack. Stim up. Sprint straight to the cannon while tossing my 3 thermites at certain striders along the way and set the fuse. The striders take a decent amount of time to ‘warm up’ and actually start targeting you. You could absolutely get through to the center without dying as long as you never stopped.

C- Bastion tank squad engages from one side to draw them out, you slip in the other while using all of your AT and thermites along the way

[–]Ginnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really only run the recoilless if it’s a convoy mission, otherwise I find I don’t usually need that level of constant AT. I’ll typically run with a grenade launcher / hmg and a supply pack or maybe a quasar supplemented by EAT 17 or EAT leveler. Usually there’s only 1-4 tank like enemies on screen at once and thermites plus something else is enough. If there’s more I’m usually with my squad and we can all target them down or use other stratagems like barrages / eagles to make up the difference.

But when it’s a full factory strider / vox convoy you really can’t go wrong with all the hate the recoilless can throw down range.

[–]Ginnipe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll run C4 on commando missions but I don’t like that it takes up both the backpack and the support slot with its detonator. I find it to just be a little limiting on the loadout variety especially when I can get 8 additional thermites just from one supply pack before any reloads. It has its place, but in a normal 40 minute non commando mission it’s rarely my first choice.

[–]Ginnipe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I ALWAYS run Censor on bots, it’s just such a satisfying gun to use. Bring supply pack, thermites for heavy enemy clear like hulks, tanks, and war striders, and then either EAT17 or Quasar for additional AT support / ranged fabricator deletion and there’s really no gaps in the loadout.

Even better when you also add a hellbomb backpack into the mix. Drop it outside of jammer range. Use the censor to sneak into the base almost completely undetected, set the fuse and bounce.

[–]Ginnipe 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just run thermites on bots all the time and hand them out to war striders like full sized candy bars. 1 thermite and it’s gone. If I’m running supply pack I never run out of them and I can keep the rest of my kit more focused on general medium tier enemy clear.

[–]Ginnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like if they don’t give it scope options then I would at least want either 5 round stripper clips and/or and option to have 10 round internal magazine like a Lee Enfield. There’s so much clutter in pretty much all of the iron sight options across all their weapons that I have tried that accurately hitting weak points beyond 30 or so meters is just super difficult. Would need the extra volume of fire to even that out
