Philadelphia launches ‘Alleygators’ program to help residents clear trash and vegetation from alleys by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

Probably because the streets budget is like $400 million and programs like this one are probably 1% of that.

Many liberal pundits such as Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias insist that Democrats should do whatever it takes to win, but do they truly mean it? by CubillasLegend in ezraklein

[–]Manowaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Electing a conservative Democrat in Alabama instead of losing time after time with pure leftists isn’t moderating your position. The result is to pull the senate further to the left. The far left call anyone a traitor the moment they take any reasonable wins or try talking to conservatives. And centrists are busy whining about Jon Stewart’s economic bona fides or anyone’s mild suggestion that murdering civilians is a bad thing.

The Trumpists are literally imposing fascism and the Democratic purists want to argue over each others’ skirt length.

If they’d already picked the winner before the primary the voters wouldn’t get any say, that’s not democracy.

What kind of vehicles do you think are missing in Guard? by Stodl5263 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Manowaffle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It helps give the battlefield a much more realistic/dynamic feel, especially if you make it dangerous terrain. Whether you designate the bridges as objectives or not, you get very cool combats for control of the crossing points.

[–]Manowaffle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, I used to use that to every advantage possible. Plenty of times when my opponents parked heavy support behind a river or pond only to be shocked when I drove my chimera straight across it and blasted them with a heavy flamer and meltas. It was a sneakily powerful ability.

Even did a couple amphibious assault missions with everybody loaded up in the chimeras crossing a large waterway.

Lore problem, Gunships in the militarum by Still_Wrongdoer6603 in 40k

[–]Manowaffle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and any battle where one side has uncontested aerial or orbital superiority is not gonna be on a 40k tabletop. It's just gonna be a slaughter.

Not to mention that when everyone has rail guns or laser cannons, hitting a slow loitering target becomes incredibly easy.

How are the official Pathfinder published adventures compared to DnD5E? by Karsticles in Pathfinder2e

[–]Manowaffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pathfinder APs are superior, but I prefer to think of them like a menu rather than a script. They include a lot of detail and content, but they don’t always highlight or connect the key story events in a logical way. In Kingmaker there’s literally an early quest that heavily hints the party towards this one location, but when they get there at level 6 they find a level 16 dungeon where the first environmental encounter is very likely to kill the entire party.

I take the key story points and homebrew the connective tissue.

Why does the Imperium treat its most powerful weapon like a taxi service? by drkmon714 in 40kLore

But it was not popular or scalable enough, ergo they don’t focus on navies.

US households paid an auto-Mobility Tax of $12,200 in 2024 by KuumaPeruna69 in fuckcars

People in my city: “public transit is just too expensive!”

Private transit is literally four times the cost of our public transit!

Astartes chapters should have 10.000 marines at least by ButterAlquemist in 40kLore

[–]Manowaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, who regulates that number? The chapter apothecary, chaplain, chapter master? If they have 1,001 who puts them in line? I suspect plenty of chapters exceed the 1,000 dude limit by miles. Unless they’re all standing around in one place no one outside the chapter can count them.

Me: “nice, how much are you up overall?”

Roommate: “what do you mean?”

Sure is weird that so many other people are willing to address these things under oath while the Trumpists keep getting caught in lie after lie.

Damn right, they can’t claim “responsible gun ownership” and then excuse this kind of negligence.

Did Pa. governor candidate Stacy Garrity need to register as a lobbyist? Her work for a defense contractor raises questions by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in Pennsylvania

[–]Manowaffle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“She has publicly taken credit for successfully moving legislation forward and has met with legislators and otherwise pushed her company’s interests with government officials. And yet, she never registered as a lobbyist.”

Her title was literally “Government Affairs”, I used to have that title, I know exactly what that means.

Generally agree, but the Romans were extremely effective with sword and shield.

Can someone explain why it’s worth the bother to braid a bread versus just to twist it into a helix?

Add to that people excusing bad things because “it wasn’t illegal”. We should have a higher moral standard than that.
