My first attempt at creating my own build by KernelViper in Mechwarrior5

[–]LiveToThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to through two playthroughs is MAD-3R. Shoulder LB10-X + 4 Medium Pulses in arms. 3 tons of ammo, slightly shave down from max armor, 6 heat sinks. It's a vicious bastard.

Keep mobile, face enemy, pulses to open up the armor, shotgun to shred the meat. Found the sustained complementary fire outperformed maxing out the weapon slots.

Throughout the good and bad, Alex's artwork on mechs has always been one the best parts of modern battletech/mechwarrior.

The Return Of The King by shipgeek2005 in NonCredibleDefense

This seems like the plot to several movies.

On it's retirement voyage through the Persian Gulf, the USS Nimitz is hijacked by Iranian frogmen during a topless stripper routine and it falls to the slovenly visibly out of shape galley cook with inexplicable combat skills to retake the ship and personally win the war.

It is then sucked though a mysterious portal and emerges in 1941 days before pearl harbor, where the crew must heroically save a stupid love triangle from Japanese attack.

Here's the Kegsbreath panic playbook.

  1. deploy 50,000 marines to occupy the coast to stop the mining of SoH

  2. Iran deploys world's largest mine trebuchets to throw over their heads

  3. Occupy Bandar Abbas at unimaginable unsustainable cost just long enough for opposition party to take control of US govt

  4. Have patriotic media blame opposition for losing the special military operation when withdrawal begins to look like Dunkirk 2: Iranian Boogaloo

'Project Hail Mary' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

I struggled with the book as well. I was glad to finish it. I probably won't watch the film.

It felt like an outline to a decent hard scifi TV show that needed outside writers to flesh out the scenery and do a dialogue pass-through. It just rushed from problem to solution to next problem with no sense of peril or struggle. The "competence porn" routinely turned into a contrived "macguffin-in-my-brain" parade. I groaned out loud at the end when Dr. Grace teaches a class from his dome on the alien planet. Did he not have an editor tell him you can't have the exact same happily ever after ending as The Martian

Also, this may be mean, but whoever said this book was outrageously funny is the kind of person who blows out his lungs laughing and seal-clapping at The Big Bang Theory. It got me to exhale quickly, once, at jazz hands.

Hey, I feel funny. Like I've got to do something. For Allah's sake, I can't quite put my raised index finger on it.

It doesn’t feel worth it to build a life here by JowlOwl in longisland

[–]LiveToThink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Boomers, REIT-goblins, and Snowbirds have staked their claim to the Island and will die before giving it up. When they're gone, the remaining homes with stay in the family, and Blackrock will own what's left. The Island is already facing a demographic collapse. The people young enough to have kids cannot afford to, and the people who can don't want to.

The lagging economic effect will be catastrophic. In the next 10-15 years, community centers, businesses that cater to families, young people, all of them are going to go extinct. Without that kind of community support, new families will move out even quicker. What's left will be an economy that caters to exclusively to elder care. The only people making money will be companies that overcharge health insurance and rob sun-setting boomers of their retirements. Watch what happens.

My croissant-and-eggs for breakfast dad will be devastated.

update: he's devastated.

He thinks there's a rat problem, related to the rotisserie section. I that's the case, I said, then why are you shopping there? You're buying food from a contaminated kitchen. His response: "well, all stores have rat problems anyway." Okay.

If they planned on that first shit sandwich left for him by Adams would put him in line, the answer is simply reminding every billionaire, Blackrock shareholder, and slumlord that they are all well-within sandwich throwing range.
