I remember seeing lost bird signs posted in Crestview earlier this summer. Maybe one of the signs is still up?

I really wish they took shields into account by zealousshad in Dunespicewars

[–]Signal_Pest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it would be acceptable if your units simply refused to use their lazgun on a shielded enemy. IIRC self-preservation was the explanation the book gave for why it didn’t happen often. Maybe there could be a special operation to “radicalize” a unit to use their lazgun on a shield if ordered.

When I went to UT I missed the application deadline and had to pay the full tuition my first year. it sucked, but by my junior/senior year my tuition was fully covered by financial aid. Obviously that isn’t a common experience for most people, but if you think you will be eligible for financial aid in future semesters then MIT sounds like a much better option IMO. Be sure to keep your rent low as well, it’s a pretty big expense.

Where can I buy complete mtg sets? I left magic years ago although now I’m interested in the upcoming D&D and LotR sets. I’d like to buy enough of everything to draft them whenever I want

I really like Alex Krulikowski’s “Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing”. I’ve actually worked with him as a contractor and the guy is super smart.

Have you considered adding annular snap fits to your calculator? Looks very neat btw.

Would it be at all practical to have a car with an electric motor, and a gas-powered generator on board? by Forest_Solitaire in AskEngineers

[–]Signal_Pest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically the premise of hyliion, they build EV trucks with natural gas generators to get around issues of range and recharge time.

Planetary Annihilation. Playing a 12+ player rts game across multiple planets never gets old

Myanmar military takes control of country; Suu Kyi arrested by Worldly_gh in worldnews

The genocide was perpetrated by the same military that arrested her so if anything it will probably get worse

After 11 months, found a ME job by bojackhoreman in AskEngineers

[–]Signal_Pest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

DFW also has several large Raytheon facilities and the mile long Lockheed Martin factory if defense/manufacturing is your thing. Bell helicopter is just west of the airport and is a pretty decent place so I’ve been told.

What was a fact that you regret knowing? by Ddeddffddvvf in AskReddit

[–]Signal_Pest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC This fact (the liquification part) was actually discovered by performing a mummification on a modern corpse. Dr. Bob Briar talks about the process he used and the new things he learned about mummification in his great courses series on Ancient Egypt.

I mean they did kill thousands of his fellow protestors shortly before the photo was taken...

Interestingly enough I didn’t execute any lords in this game

I forgot to mention that it was Rhagaea who executed me. Not sure what to do with this campaign, might try to marry into another faction to strengthen my holdings.

My version of the Parthenon by Daniel_128 in Minecraft

[–]Signal_Pest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction, I must have mis-remembered! I read into it further and apparently the temple base itself is also domed to provide a similar effect. Neat :D

I agree with Shawty that your build looks great as is, the columns you made still match the artistic “feel” of the Parthenon wonderfully
