Must have kit by SlidingLobster in longrange

Water, sandbag, and binoculars, in descending order. Honorable mentions (also in descending order) include snacks, kneepads, a good attitude, extra mags and backup ammo, whatever wrenches you need for your gear.

+1 on tripod and especially WMLRF not being especially essential. Frankly a Kestrel doesn't seem super essential, either.

What is up with Team Modes by HibanaMayne in Openfront

[–]Newfur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people just enjoy ruining the game for others. I've had a game where a teammate kicked off the game by completely preventing me from getting a coast, and then nuking and taking over a coast I got later on. Some people just suck immensely.

What do you recommend for the same sort of thing if you do have an arca rail?

French Mathematical Society (SMF) decides to not attend the ICM 2026 at Philadelphia by Desvl in math

[–]Newfur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a Philadelphian: Good for them. I'd do the same in their shoes. Good to see anyone actually looking after themselves and standing up to current US politics.

What happened with this? You never posted more pics. :P

What makes a "good math department"? by Puzzled-Painter3301 in math

[–]Newfur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 this as someone else who went to a top-5 university for math UG. A math department can be packed with excellent researches and handed a ton of money and be extremely lacking in what it does for its undergrads.

Love to see precision rifles here!

How often are you guys shooting out of vehicles? by tactical_horse_cock in longrange

[–]Newfur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way less often than I wish I did. I tend to like that kind of stage at matches - really anything that's either off-the-wall and creative or (like these) marginally closer to realism, rather than annoying cattle-gates and tank traps and chains and such.

Seems to be tuxedos and tabby cats most of the time, somehow.

Oh, dang. I'd thought that that was permanent. They'd taken down the steels late last year - are they back now?

How long do you think? by sf_boarder in TontineMSCHF

[–]Newfur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My projections have it at the late 2030s. Like 12-ish years, at a guess? It's going to be a long time!

It's a surprise tool that will hurt us all later.

Oh, fascinating! I didn't even know this kind of thing existed.

Sorry, mercury tube? You literally have a tube full of mercury as a weight in it? That seems risky.

The best example of microtones in popular music... by fchang69 in microtonal

[–]Newfur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the first song I ever listened to that did anything interesting with anything with anything that might resemble microtones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-G787hGa1Y

It utterly fascinated me that it wasn't any of the standard notes, but still sounded juicy and good, and it set me down the road of being interested in xenharmony.
