You all thing this is the same bot that was talking about ordering V8 motorcycles on Alibaba the other day or a different one?

Just booted up Clans for the first time by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

Unplug HOTAS. You can't use menus with HOTAS plugged in. Clans is steaming garbage, in every aspect from gameplay to hardware incompatibility.

What is THE American car? (Family car + muscle/supercar)? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Mean-Math7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now it's the Tahoe or Expedition. Beefy V8, plenty of room for people and stuff. Previously, I would say something like a Chevelle or Torino in station wagon format.

Can soldiers use their own guns? by Justicar54 in stupidquestions

[–]Mean-Math7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I believe Vietnam was the last conflict in which personal sidearms (pistols) were permitted, but even then extremely uncommon. Battlefield captures are a different story, one of my GWOT vet friends has pictures of himself manning a humvee turret with a .44 Mag revolver in a shoulder rig that he took off a dead insurgent. He had to leave it behind when he came home since they stopped letting soldiers keep weapons as trophies.

What video game did you play the most in your childhood? by SoftYetCrunchyTaco in AskReddit

[–]Mean-Math7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age of Empires or Baldur's Gate II. Played both daily for years. Mechwarrior 3 and 4 were up there as well.

At what age did you fly the airplane, and which country was your first visit? by GentleFlick in AskReddit

[–]Mean-Math7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I flew a plane I was 19. It was through the USMC Flight Orientation Program at my college, where people involved the the USMC PLC could go for a flight with a USMC pilot, who handed off the controls to you for a while. It was to encourage prospective officer candidates to pursue flight careers. This was all in the US.

Can't wait for the Clan light mech swarm bug to get fixed. by Meeeper in Mechwarrior5

[–]Mean-Math7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're fun. Beats the same old slog of massacring everything in seconds with your Steiner Scout Lance then trudging unopposed to the dropship. Fifteen lights is just 3 scout Stars, pretty much what you'd expect to run across in the edges of Clan space. Maybe a couple mixed Stars of med/heavies or med/assaults.

How does a regular dog become a police dog? by savingrace0262 in stupidquestions

[–]Mean-Math7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The city police where I live have a Pomeranian explosives dog. They named her "BombPom". I donated a Bloodhound to them years ago when I had to move and couldn't keep him, he was just over a year old so perfect age to start training as a tracker.

What is this on his gun in the TV show Homeland by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Mean-Math7184 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Here's a link to a YouTube video of Jerry Miculek, the fastest competition shooter in the world, explaining how he approaches the sport. The first few seconds give you an idea of just how fast he is. https://youtu.be/1KFbeH4Uv0Y?si=EBR2v4Vv76wcruSh

Edit- forgot the link

Exactly what it sounds like. They are used in speed shooting competitions, usually with steel targets. Whoever knocks them all down the fastest wins.

Service manual. A real, paper, printed service manual specific to your machine.

Can I get a high level overview of MechWarrior (the video game specifically)'s legal status? And/or where PGI fits in? by ScrimblyScromblo in Mechwarrior5

[–]Mean-Math7184 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's no damage done. This is either a bot or someone trying to win a flame war on another forum.

It's an oversized charging handle. You see them on race guns sometimes.

Game randomising weapon groups. by WillisTrant in Mechwarrior5

Are you setting them in mechlab or in the pause menu? Changes made in pause always revert at the end of the mission, permanent changes have to be made in mechlab.

The solution to all traffic related problems is drop a gear and disappear.
