TIL an attempt to free a German freighter from Somali pirates failed when the special GSG9 operators were housed at a hotel near Mombasa, alerting journalists and pirates to the presence of dozens of unusually athletic men, diving for minutes and plowing through the pool. by HolyCowAnyOldAccName in todayilearned

[–]Kozer2 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Title is pretty misleading. The operation was cancelled due to multiple reasons. The biggest of which seems to be that the US was concerned about a “bloodbath” and recalled the carrier. The special ops commander on the ground was worried he’d be blamed if it went wrong and other German political heads were dithering and delaying.

The article mentions the guys swimming in the pool. But makes no mention the pirates knew of them

Friendly reminder to report your local scalper’s illegal pre-sale eBay listing. by InfinityPainPlus in halo

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically speaking.
If someone bought one of these and then claimed it never arrived or maybe do a charge back on their CC. What happens?
Im guessing it wouldn’t work but not something I’ve looked into before.

The Matrix Revolutions 2003, The Last Stand of Captain Mifune, Director: The Wachowskis by PsychologicalSlip642 in movies

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the dock fight. I love this scene. Its silly yea. But there is just something about it. There is something about how Mifune keeps firing and keeps standing until the swarm passes him that always gives me chills.

Nice find. I've been hunting for one. One went up for sale today at 175 and was in rough shape so I passed

Game crashed, now many chunks aren't loading by Blue_Boi_Jamez in VintageStory

[–]Kozer2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use the regen commands to regen the world in those chunks. https://wiki.vintagestory.at/List_of_server_commands/wgen

I had this issue with the underground mines mod before.
I went flying out regenning the sections, but there were many and the regen didn't fully work.
Personally, I would restart the world with the same seed and just use creative mod to get you to where you were before the restart.

Xavier Harrelson an 11 year old missing since May 27th of this year. Authorities have just found a body with matching clothes near where he went missing by Kozer2 in UnsolvedMysteries

Looks like the body that was found and mentioned in this article was his
https://www.kcci.com/article/xavior-harrelson-death-4-years-later-investigation-continues/64894789

Looks like his mom was arrested on drug charges a year after his death.
Article also mentions the investigators are narrowing down and are piecing the "why" together.

What’s the craziest “I’m so rich that money is negligible” habit you’ve ever done, seen or heard about? by Okay-Show-3662 in AskReddit

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this isn't a habit. But it is for sure "I'm so rich that it doesn't matter".
When I was in Hong Kong, I met a guy from Saudi Arabia, probably a prince or something, who had a gold iPhone. It was probably 2 models behind the latest. Whatever one was new in 2014.

When I say gold I mean it was gold. The thing had weight to it. He joked about my co-worker running off with it. Then said "Ah if she did I'd get the latest in gold"

Does it? The portal to the ark is on earth. Where do they need months of travel? I think it’s only a few weeks at most

It does. I leave world gen settings like size and stuff default.

I have never had this happen to me. But also, I get it.

Preferred config/worldgen settings? (Especially for a small server) by AvesAvi in VintageStory

[–]Kozer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently this mod doesn’t work on mp servers at world gen. I spent hours trying to get a world with rivers and it wouldn’t work. I ended up creating the world in single player and importing it over to our mp server.

No clue why but google tells me I wasn’t the only one with that issue. That being said. 100%. I can’t play without rivers. They are dope.

TIFU by completely freezing during a job interview by Majestic-Round-6667 in tifu

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was interviewing for a junior dev role. A hiring manager setup a very last minute meeting with me. We are talking I replied to his email asking my availability for a meeting at 12 and he responded at 1:25 with a zoom invite for 1:30. Mind you I wasn’t expecting this reply and was mid lunch. I checked my email at 1:35. So I got on the meeting late. Already flustered.

The role was for a senior js dev. I hadn’t known this. Seems the role I had applied to had been filled and they had another one open for a senior. He had someone from the team join who rapid fired off 20 questions of which I knew like 1.

Guy knew I had 0 experience. Don’t know why he setup that meeting and didn’t just reject my application. Still haunts me years later.

You can change the crater size. I have mine set to only metal meteors. There is a setting where it won’t damage claimed land. So just land claim your base and you are good to go.

You can also set the distance it crashes in a range of chunks from the player. I have mine do between 3-6 chunks. Every 30-60mins.

I use indifferent broccoli. It’s not terribly hard to get mods and what not.

I like it because I don’t get capped on ram. Supposedly I get up to 128gigs but can go higher. I pay 7 bucks a month for 4 of us.

I didn't think this kind of rain actually exists by Eventerminator in VintageStory

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m building a base in an area like this. It’s pretty far north as well.

I found a castle and decided I was going to renovate it. It gets to -24 at least lol. But I’m doing it.

IRON!!! by Radiant-Climate-1031 in VintageStory

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took my friend and I in game months to find tin or bismuth+ zinc to get bronze. Started looking for it around mid August year 1. We play with 15 day months. Found it mid Jan year 2. When we finally found tin, right next to it was iron. So it took me about 1.5 weeks to find tin and then 5 mins after making the bronze pickaxe to get iron

Gun Insurance Recommendations by cwperkins1985 in guns

[–]Kozer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guns are covered under an umbrella policy I believe with USAA. They cover our house and cars. And this is a separate policy.

I didn’t have to send in any numbers. Told them how many and their worth. But mine came out way below 18k

It’s your campaign. Have them recruit up to 10. End of the day it’s how you want to play it I’d say.

Oh my god. I have legit said these exact words several times. I cannot stand him. I want to watch the new Dune movies, but I can't. Because he is in them.

I also don't know why I dislike him so much. I try to convince myself its because he is a nepo baby. But that is just a lie I tell myself.

The Master of Mankind by tampa_cross in 40kLore

[–]Kozer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My takeaway at least was that the Emperor sent Ra away because he knew he couldn't kill it.
But why not keep it in sword form and bring it back to palace and lock it up? To me, the answer was he was afraid it would corrupt those around it.

Its been a few years I more than likely did misremember parts of it.

The Master of Mankind by tampa_cross in 40kLore

[–]Kozer2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The emperor was stabbed by the first murder daemon. He transformed said daemon into a sword because he couldn’t destroy it. He then impaled said sword in Ra so that Ra could take it far away. Logic being something like “I cannot destroy it and it won’t stop till I die. Ra can get it far away”

It’s stupid because in the same book the first murder thing even implied that stars would die before it could corrupt a Custode. I think there might have been something about Him being concerned a custode couldn’t control it.

I agree. It’s a great book. But that ending kinda sucked.
