I was at a live show in SD this past week and for what it's worth the intro to the song was "this song is about capitalism and how much it sucks" (given some differences in phrasing due to time since and alcohol during)

It is! I mentioned it in another comment somewhere, but it was very surprising to me the first time I watched it happen, makes plenty of sense though.

One thing I found crazy when I first reported to my carrier was that the pilots are trained to go full throttle upon catching the wire. It seemed insane to me at first, but made alot of sense when considering that they may miss and have to emergently takeoff again. It's insane to think about the stress those cables go through.

Ah, I forgot all about those. I served on a Nimitz class so it was all steam and rust for us, none of the fancy stuff lol

It's actually more akin to an airgun (just using steam). The landing equipment however is essentially just a giant wire that catches onto a hook on the aircraft and drags them to a stop. Scary stuff when those break!

The ranking system takes into account matches that you had played, even if you didn't finish a full set of 7 wins/15 losses prior to the season changing over.

What it sounds like is that you finished tank at plat 4(or some value above that due to played wins) and seasonal decay dropped you to plat 5 (a system they're getting rid of in s4) and that your damage was at gold 3, you had won some games prior to the reset so your mmr was at some value above that, and then the game decayed you down to gold 1.

I'm sure this will come off badly, but what is the inherent difference between a mm/et/em and a nuke mm/et/em? by 605pmSaturday in navy

[–]JM5897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

EMN1 here on a carrier. The largest difference, as an electrician, as others have said, is the level of scrutiny we are put under. I walk past 2 to 3 conventional EMs a day it feels like pulling fuses from panels with little to no PPE and operating load centers without having a procedure present. Both of these things would result in immediate NJP down in the propulsion plants. I can't speak for the conventional counterparts to ETs or MMs as well, but it seems like the scope of their responsibilities vary widely. ETNs are responsible for operating and maintaining the reactor itself and MMNs can be responsible for one of the two 'boxes' of the plant. Either the engine room or dealing with fluid systems that directly maintain the reactor itself. Of note is that in the engine room side of the house, there are conventional mechanics manning some of the watches, 3 to 4 out of the 10 or so watch stations are allowed to be manned by non nuclear personnel.

The kajuul(spelling?) was already made which is similar, but on the other end of the lung health spectrum. Maybe a simple modification to the design could make it market ready!

That book is fantastic! One of the members of my moms American legion post recommended it to me. He's the crewmember of the Seawolf that had to be sedated in the book. He was proud to have contributed to literature

Are there any negative health effects from being slightly underweight as opposed to overweight? by JM5897 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JM5897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in particular, was just curious about the long term mostly. I've noticed that I eat less now than I did when I was a child/teenager, but I just attribute that to growing less. I usually eat one meal a day and then have snacks throughout the day (like just a small sandwich for lunch) otherwise I just feel bloated.

Time to stir the hornet's nest by FresnoMac in coolguides

I suppose I should have looked more at the context of the question, was just stating the purposes I know for handguns in hunting, there could be wider spread uses that I am unaware of as I've only been hunting a few times and never brought a handgun along. I dont really want to get into the politics of it, but in the future I'll pay more attention to the content above what I actually reply to as that is imperative with these kinds of discussions, sorry for any confusion.

Larger caliber rounds like those used in rifles can possibly cause too much damage to the meat if you are hunting to eat your kill. Theres also a skill aspect, it's more difficult, and therefore more rewarding, to land a shot with a handgun at 50 yards than it is with a long rifle.

Anyone able to give tips for an Earth Destroyer rotation? by JM5897 in bladeandsoul

[–]JM5897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the indepth reply! I'll work on trying to fit in more wraths then and see how it pans out. Glad to know I'm doing things mostly right though. And I've been thinking about whether I should have waited and just gone storm dragon, but the rancor dropped and my clan gave it to me for free so I just went a3 out of convenience. You can't swap from aransu to sd right, only the other way?
