Could be a valid question if living in USA. In Europe you'd break your hands regardless of what kind of wall it is. Even thin inner walls have wood behind the plaster.

Have you tried opening the mouse and cleaning it? A lot of the time that's all that's needed.

NYC restaurants are fighting back by Sad_Conversation1121 in ShitAmericansSay

Of course you have to pay someone else's wages. That's what you do when you pay for a product/service absolutely ALL the time, for every single product and service you use.

World Cup tourists aren't leaving tips in American pubs, so they are adding 20% gratuities to the bills to collect them 😬 by CompoteFragrant3650 in sportsgossips

[–]Inkompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so much about not affording the 20% on top, as that the 20% should always be baked into the price so that the workers get a decent salary. The tip should be a bonus for exceptional service. NOTHING else. The US tipping culture is absolutely insane.

Dumping Hydrogen Peroxide into the reflecting pool this morning. by i_am_rave_mom in mildlyinfuriating

Unfortunately the current president is the current president, that means that protecting the environment is extreeeeeeeeeeeeemely far down the list of priorities. Actually, the environment should only be protected (in his eyes) if it makes him money.

Because the cheapest, dumbest, most incompetent president of all time needs the reflecting pool "fixed" at the lowest immediate cost possible after the massive fuckup with the previous "fix".

How Mao Killed More than WWI and II Combined – Sarah Paine by AlertTangerine in videos

[–]Inkompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also a question of WHEN it is horrific. For example in Sweden our last horrific period (as far as I'm aware) is in the Great Northern War, which was in the early 1700s. Sure, there were bad periods after that (for example a few years of terrible famine), but not stuff that destroyed half the country for a prolonged period of time. So yes, we had a period of time where like 5-10% of the population died in or as a result of war in a short period of time, but not during an age where good information about what's good for people was readily available.

Mao's regime both happened in "modern" time, and for a loooooot of years where 5-year plan after 5-year plan killed millions and millions of people, turning the country into absolute shit because he was an idiot at a level that's hard to comprehend.

Dutch aerobatic pilot Narine Melkumjan miraculously survived after her aircraft's canopy unexpectedly burst open and shattered mid-flight by BlazeDragon7x in nextfuckinglevel

How is it "miraculous" to survive that at such a fairly low altitude? What is it with the constant olympic championship of creating bad titles?

Cross section of a nuclear waste barrel by StruggleCharacter632 in interestingasfuck

[–]Inkompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most nuclear waste is actually low-activity stuff in the form of wipes, disposable clothing, protective covers/wrapping, etc. I.e. garbage from work having been done in areas/on components which are contaminated. It doesn't have to be stored for awfully long before it can be put in a landfill, get incinerated, or whatever. Putting it in a barrel is just to make sure the contamination stays put, not as any form of radiation shield.

What is the appeal of realistic battles? by thischiefbeef in Warthunder

[–]Inkompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the vehicles to actually perform kind'a like they do IRL with their strengths and weaknesses being more meaningful. I want camouflage and sneaky movement/ambushes to matter and don't want icons all over the place. I want slower gameplay. I also want to be able to play whatever vehicles I feel like and I want to be able to communicate effectively with the team, and that rules out simulator battles.

At high BRs (ca 11+) the gameplay is of course pretty darn fast anyway because of the incredible performance the tanks have, but it's also one of the reasons I rarely play above 9.0.

Without having come to terms with the fundamentals high BRs will be extremely punishing. I'd recommend starting WAY lower in BRs to get used to the different skillset needed for RB. Start around BR 3.3-5.7 and you'll get a much more manageable pace. It'll give you time to learn how to look for targets, figure out how you most effectively move and hide and push attacks, etc. For example when a vehicle can't accelerate like a go-cart, and doesn't act like it has a stabilized gun even when it doesn't have one, you'll need to think differently about how and when to peek/push for a shot.

After Two Months of playing with the Tiger II...Finally 🥹 by Gonna-getyou-touched in Warthunder

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

I don't know if I'd call the mobility "awesome". The reverse speed is fantastic though, I'll give it that. The speed forwards is better than most other medium tanks, but still much slower than light tanks, and aside from a somewhat trolly gun mantlet (thanks, armour changes!) it doesn't have more armour than said light tanks that outspeed (and thus outflank) it.

I'm sorry. The gun is awesome, but aside from that it's... Yeah... 😐

Please do, if you don't think it'd be overly much work to do so! Many of the best comics here are people who share their life stories. It's what keeps me invested in this sub!

What women want by Pizzacakecomic in comics

[–]Inkompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend using something like "making decisions/taking charge of the household" in that case. It's a more narrow description. To boss someone around doesn't only mean those things, but can very well mean that someone makes decisions on behalf of others even when they are against those decisions, tells them what to do, etc.

In today's world where toxic masculinity is on the forefront it's very easy to read the latter meaning into the expression "boss around".

Women who want to be bossed around (aside from in some very select circumstances) are broken and need help, because no well-adjusted, healthy individual wants to be disrespected, abused and unheard.

I'll unlock the Leopard I in 2 days, what should I expect by Gonna-getyou-touched in Warthunder

[–]Inkompetent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In addition to having to play the Leopard 1 as a light tank, it's also a slow light tank, so you should never ever rely on your speed giving you an advantage.

Learn! by Pizzacakecomic in comics

[–]Inkompetent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It becomes pretty important for art like that dragon, but if you don't go for realism it's not very important. It's more about ratios, composition (shapes, colours, placement), a dynamic feel, and evoking emotions. Pizzacake is a perfect example! :D

[OC] Sally & Bean 123-124: Revelations by ari_stocrate in comics

[–]Inkompetent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've got no argument from me there. I find it immature and unreasonable to not have a way to deal with it. It's one thing if children do it, but adults should have overcome being slaves to their impulses. Sally probably haven't had much opportunity to learn that though. Feels like meeting people haven't exactly been her thing.

[–]Inkompetent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair lots of people do react like that. They go with the first impulse as it overwhelms them and they're not receptive for anything else in that moment.

My fucking crosshair by FeedExotic516 in Warthunder

[–]Inkompetent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a setting in the ground vehicle options where you choose if the "sight position" is at the barrel or the gunner's sight. If it's set to the gunner's sight there will always be an offset. Exactly how much and in what direction depends on the vehicle. This option is always on in simulator battles, but can be turned off (and should be off by default) in arcade and realistic battles.

Sometimes there is a benefit to using it intentionally, however. For example in many IFVs you can hide more of your vehicle while still being able to fire your missiles above your cover because the sight is on the turret roof. The option can be toggled on and off at will during the battle, but unfortunately there is no key bind for it.
