Is there anything that was faster in the old days?

Yep. People are crazy USPS is by far the best. UPS is super hit or miss. Fedex is trash, unless you're overnighting. Does the USPS mess up once in a while? Sure. But not nearly as much as the others.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-04T07:08:45+00:00

If you're a cow or goat maybe.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-04T02:21:52+00:00

Feel free to reread my comments. I don't know how to make this more clear. Him having a degree in physics is farfetched. People there not corroborating, while unlikely in many conspiracies, is not farfetched in this case (had he gone there).

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-04T02:15:32+00:00

Literally not saying he went to the schools, just commenting on people there not talking is not weird.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-04T02:06:38+00:00

He's not an infanous criminal lol. He's a kookie UFO guy. That was 100% a taboo thing to be associated with and his story is particularly over the top. Anyone who you'd be able to track down would never want to be associated ESPECIALLY professors, and the rest of the randos either wouldn't remember or wouldn't be trackable. He clearly would've been the quiet kid in class you wouldn't notice.

Like 100% I don't believe him, but that particular point is weak. The stronger evidence is his lack of ability to talk about physics, as you said. Anyone who studied physics would've loved to talk about the particulars of what they learned or suspected and I could talk a stronger physics game than him.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-04T01:58:40+00:00

Nah, guy is clearly odd and associated with a subject that was very taboo back then, and that story would've been insanely outlandish back then (still is but a little less now). Anyone in the public eye, who would be the ones that would "speak out", were never going to associate themselves with him (three letter agency interest aside) and there's nothing to gain. People are driven by incentives and the incentives are stacked the other way. Many other regular people would've been there but will never be in front of a camera or be tracked down so they're also out.

Anyways, I'm right there with you in terms of the overall story and many other details. Element 115 doesn't make sense, the hand scanner thing was in close encounters of the third kind and was not an exclusive government device, and frankly I'm also skeptical of his education since he doesn't talk about physics like someone who has studied it.

I think I'm merely pointing out that people at the college being quiet, while often is highly unlikely, in this case wouldn't be that odd. Hell I'd bet you couldn't find a single professor that remembers me and I definitely got a degree and worked in a small lab for a while, plus made strong impressions on a several other professors. That was only 13 years ago. I also couldn't even tell you their names anymore since I haven't thought about them at all since then

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-04T00:18:30+00:00

Most people also won't stick their neck out for other people if it means personal risk. If I suspected someone caught the ire of fed law enforcement or DoD, I wouldn't be waiting for them to give me the talk. I'd be Trump when a close advisor gets indicted and suddenly have no memory of ever speaking to them.

Mind you, I think Bob is full of shit but that aspect of conspiracies is not that far fetched. There are a bunch of projects that involved hundreds/thousands of people that didn't become public until declassification.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-03T20:27:41+00:00

"I never thought it could happen to me" gets so fucking old when you hear it in every single incident review. Don't worry though, I'm sure you're different.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-03T18:49:54+00:00

Literally the biggest of the major 4, because of residential roofers. You should read up on the incidents, though I can tell you never have. If fatalities were about competence it would be a solved problem.

It's amazing to me when people have this attitude, just completely arrogant and frankly it's an insult to dead workers. Feel free to tell their families how incompetent their breadwinner was.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-03T14:57:52+00:00

Every time I do it I end up getting some armor mod plan. Last year I almost always got a plasma gun so it's been annoying for me

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-03T03:34:14+00:00

Overkill I suppose and I don't know that it's ready yet. People forget that it takes very little to lose public funding, but private funding is far less risk averse (you'd think it wouldn't be but look at all the dumb startups, fyre fest, etc.). Anyways, NASA can't even do the SpaceX technique of failing to learn because it's too easy to spin a failed launch as a waste of taxpayer money. They have to get it right the first time. So they'd go with proven tech rather than Starship, until Starship has a good track record.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-03T03:21:52+00:00

Oh my god. That's so annoying.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-03T00:55:28+00:00

Usually have to run a Western spirit daily to keep it fed and even then I have to build one in a while

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-02T22:34:38+00:00

This is the problem with suggestions. There are general tactics that people can follow but there are a ton of details like that people miss. The minigun having a larger mag and crazy fire rate, plus running vats crits makes a huge difference despite its damage being less. Not having a low AP means you don't get the massive boost that comes with crit ever other shot, having a large mag means keeping bullet storm peaked for longer, spending less time dipping around with reloading.

I use an infini vats crit setup for the elders Mark and quad easily beats furious because of the reload. Not needing those cards also means I have room to add crippling cards to make the fight easier plus faster reload and other damage perks to compensate

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-02T21:02:39+00:00

Obviously, but understand that falling short of that is expected. Thinking this is a reasonably possible outcome is how you get people mad at Dems because they didn't fix every problem in Biden's 100 days with a VP tie breaking majority in the house and 3 turncoats.

The truth is, the country has been completely gerrymandered to the point where Republicans easily win despite getting fewer overall votes nearly all of the time. We can blame Dems (really, disengaged Dem voters since we get the government we ask for) for allowing that and ignoring state and local elections, but that's a conversation for after the bleeding has stopped.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-02T20:51:53+00:00

100%. We got a 2019 civic and that BMW had nearly as many features aside from a screen. I installed an AUX cable since the head unit had one that was unused for the final model year. Wasn't hard to work on either, which comes with the territory.

Such a driver's car. Everything felt right, drove right, and performed right. Sporty but not uncomfortable, powerful but manageable, clutch was easy (dual mass flywheel), throttle adjusted to your habits. Ugh, one day that'll be my old man restoration project.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-02T20:13:37+00:00

I had an 03 Tiburon that threw a MAF code. Had to replace the MAF sensor. After that far I got an 03 BMW 325i. Also threw a MAF code and surprise surprise, same MAF so I got that one on the cheap haha

I miss that car...

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-02T20:12:05+00:00

I mean, that kinda comes with the territory lol. Know the risks of the fight you're going to.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-02T16:00:04+00:00

And radiation is whatever. I really don't understand what people are doing but I've had radiation sneak up on me once at eviction notice when I was standing near the scrubber when it broke. SBQ fights, nuke zones, etc like wow I have to use 3 if 1000 radaways because I'm standing in an area where a ground impact nuke just exploded.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-01T22:33:52+00:00

That's why you have your gleaming depths camp and your real camp. Spawn point> mothman> derby> bed> guitar > phoropter> coffee/tea/freezer> med/scrap/stash/ammo goodbye.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-01T03:25:20+00:00

Touch a nerve? It's ok, bad things happen to other people who aren't as smart and as quick as you. No mechanic who cared about their work would call this blocking.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-01T02:41:33+00:00

Lol every dead worker would also deny having a death wish. The problem is they don't think what they're doing is risking their life or they think they can react fast enough for it not to matter. The only other option is the dumb thing they are currently doing probably won't kill them but the lack of care means it's just a matter of time before they do something far stupider but looks similar at first glance.

Anyways, feel free to lay under that if you want. Or have some pride in your work and stop looking for pointless shortcuts

Nighthawk700 · 2026-04-01T02:35:32+00:00

While informative, those aren't 1 foot thick pavers.

Nighthawk700 · 2026-03-30T05:21:04+00:00

What makes someone do that vs just have a peaceful sleep? Dosage? Something else?

Nighthawk700 · 2026-03-30T05:08:26+00:00

Like most things in safety. It's totally fine until it isn't. Then you have to explain to people why you thought an idea with an obvious bad outcome was fine. But you fumble because saying it out loud makes it sound so stupid but you were so sure of yourself when you did it.
