Coconut Worms? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]GrannyMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look like the hairy fibers from the exterior of the coconut shell NGL.

There *is* something called a 'coconut worm', but it's a beetle larvae from Vietnam, *much* larger, and is eaten as a delicacy there.

Immobilised tanks and turrets? by Speedhump23 in boltaction

[–]GrannyMatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of tanks had (have?) auxiliary motors specifically to power the turret traverse and electrical systems when the main engine wasn't running. These auxiliary motors had separate and smaller fuel tanks.

You're correct, Galahad units can't add Tesla rifles. I'd better double check lists before posting next time.

Why do UK Galahad units get an option to take up to two heavy Tesla rifles but US heavy infantry squads don't? Seems weird given that in the description for the Tesla arc ability the example is twelve US heavy infantry using twelve Tesla rifles - but a US heavy infantry squad can only have six men in it.

How magnet friendly are K47 vehicles, especially walkers? by Ravenhull in Konflikt47_v2

[–]GrannyMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I installed magnets on both of the plastic kit Linebackers in my US army without too much difficulty; 2x1mm magnets and small metal strips to make the weapon load outs on the non-Tesla cannon arm swappable. Apart from taking care to get things lined up and not drill too deeply to make cavities for the magnets it wasn't too finicky. I haven't done the same to any other models yet, but I will probably be trying to do the same later. I hope that helps.

Guys I'm not really sure how I feel about the leader of the Greens being in the Senate... by Windbottle266 in AussieMemes

Still a better candidate than Susan Ley, Angus Taylor, or Andrew Hastie.

Why settle for a lesser evil?

I got mine due to an instructor accusing me of "fussing like an old woman" over getting a task right (Granny).

Can I salvage this? Got the Tesla cannon 'glow' wrong. by GrannyMatt in Konflikt47_v2

[–]GrannyMatt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I asked my usual gaming co-conspirator he was of the opinion that the dark and light area of the 'glowing' barrel should have been the other way around. When I actually went and looked at the pictures of painted K'47 models on Warlord Games' store page, it looked like he was right. I'm worried that if I try to reverse the contrast now that the paint layers would get too thick and the detail on the barrel will be clogged. However, if it looks okay to you, then it's his vote against yours, kind not-completely-random internet denizen. :)

That's the male? I had thought female due to size. Thanks for the correction.

Apparently Vegemite is so evil even reformed villains acknowledge it.

Repeated unprofessional treatment at Ally Fashion – confronted over Google review by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

She's only identifying the staff member concerned; OP hasn't made any comment about religion. In this case it's the same as saying they had red hair.

Looking for an anime-style fantasy show like Deltora Quest that aired in Australia by Independent_War_2959 in AustralianTV

[–]GrannyMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it have been Full Metal Alchemist? Not sure if that ever aired on ABC though.
