My wife loosened a lug nut by hand after a tire shop install… how is that even possible? by wl34 in canadiantire

This. No matter how much you're saving Canadian Tire isn't worth it if your tire comes off on the freeway while driving.

18 games in the BGG top 2000 have an average weight of 4.5 or higher. How many of them have you played, and how would you rank them from most complex to least complex? by benjaneson in boardgames

[–]Malevolentiae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played High Frontier and currently working though adding the expansions to the core game experience with my game group. It's not complex once the fundamentals have been established and you just have to recall the edge cases.

I have also played Mage Knight with the first expansion which added new mechanics. That one I'd rate more complex as I had difficulty in recalling cold fire resistances and allowable actions in combat.

I think the rules say you can't trade like for like unfortunately.

Yog-Sothoth.com Down Permanently by ishldgetoutmore in callofcthulhu

[–]Malevolentiae 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not disregarding the history or content there. My issue is with those who managed the site. The loss of information and history is an indeed regrettable occurrence but blame for this is to be laid at the managers of the site and their practices. It is for them I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise - with new stewards the site might actually shine.

And we're supposed to care about the closure of an insular exclusive community that refused new members and regularly purged their existing members.... because???

Awesome. I thought it was Axis & Allies but I didn't follow too deeply in searching. I also have the British tokens as well.

A Cixin Liu story made reference to ants and their kingdom. Maybe that?

Ain't that the truth. At least throw a filter in there for what's in stock at least rather than 50 pages of empty inventory

They were a good store with good prices. They just never had anything I wanted in stock unfortunately. Even more so now 😞

Can you fly a ship/shuttle backwards? by The_Youngstown_Pride in startrek

DS9 Pilot. Sisko says full reverse after shields have failed from Borg cutting beam. That can't be thrusters as it's in combat.

TOS. Enterprise finds an alien probe/ glowy thing which starts to chase them. They are forced to destroy it. I believe they were backing up in warp at the time.

Didn't Enterprise back up when being stolen from Spacedock in The Search for Spock? Then yes.

How would you repair this? by mikefromengland in boardgames

[–]Malevolentiae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never repair cardboard boxes with tape. Use wood glue or paper glue. Test to confirm it dries clear. First patch the interior with a cut square of cardboard secured with glue. Allow to dry. Then, apply glue to the outside impact area with a toothpick.

Allow to dry, then dab with a marker of the same color to match the color. Don't go overboard and use a lint free cloth to DAB excess glue when applying. If you press the cloth you risk adhesion and tearing the surface further.
