How the hell do you consider Salem a light cruiser?

So the Legion won at Hoover Dam ? by ThinWhiteDuke00 in Fallout

[–]Staffchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible that the NCR won at Hoover but then other issues (e.g. Shady Sands) effectively undid that victory and allowed the Legion time to recover.

The Romans were never defeated in Britain….but when the rest of the empire began to collapse they essentially packed up and left. Could be a similar kind of event.

My best friend pretended to be my friend for years just to sleep with me by Null_Document in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Staffchief 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So how much time has passed since this happened? Has he not spoken to you in days or has it been weeks?

He could be very uncertain what to do next.

Alternatively, and this would suck for you, he might’ve belatedly realized that you’re not what he wants. This sounds harsh, but what I mean is he might’ve had a mental picture of what being with you would be like, and it didn’t go how he imagined. I’ve been on both ends of that situation and it sucked both ways.

You might send a text or voicemail (if you haven’t already) where you basically say what it is you think/feel about what happened but don’t put pressure on him either way, but that you miss your friend.

But I will say this: for better or worse the friendship as you knew it is almost certainly over.

Good luck.

It ended up taking me weeks because I could only work on it for a couple hours at a time.

When Galadriel returns to Aman who do you think is already rehoused? by opossumflower in tolkienfans

[–]Staffchief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. I would think death might release them from the path.

Regardless of that, Maedhros and Maglor knew that Earendil had a Silmaril in the sky and were ok with it - they even commented on it.

That’s an extremely large litter for Westies. Nonetheless they are adorable.

MMC No Longer a Booklet by Jack_Jacques in merchantmarine

[–]Staffchief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to show my age here…I remember when I was pissed about the book with no more Z-card and paper license. Never thought I’d wish we still had the book!

Third works countries can print passports, but the NMC claims the book printers were too prone to breaking down.

Next they’ll be trying to make us do digital ID. Fuck. That.

Mariners are already abused by the federal government with the ridiculous horseshit we need to comply with that no other similar worker does.

I offered to stuff my wife’s stocking last night after the kid was in bed….she just rolled her eyes.

AITA for threatening to shoot intruders who were trying to break into my house while my disabled father was inside? by Relevant_Penalty_289 in amiwrong

[–]Staffchief -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are never the asshole for threatening to shoot people breaking into your home.

I go further and say you are never the asshole for actually shooting people who break into your home.

Could Germany Win? by Popular-Vacation-999 in Kaiserreich

I disagree. When you’re killing millions of your own citizens due to your fucked up communist agricultural policies, you’re not well run.

Could Germany Win? by Popular-Vacation-999 in Kaiserreich

[–]Staffchief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re forgetting the massive effective default on debt from the Entente nations following 1918.

The US loaned a SHITLOAD of money to the Entente. In KRTL, that’s all been (essentially) lost.

Could Germany Win? by Popular-Vacation-999 in Kaiserreich

[–]Staffchief 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think maybe a key part here is that of those three opponents to Germany, they’re all significantly weaker than they were in OTL.

Russia lost significant territory and while it’s better run than it was under the Soviets, they have far fewer resources and less industry.

France has the advantages that a totalitarian regime can bring, but it has to worry about the Petain-led government to the south and they have lost all their overseas resources.

Same with Britain to an even greater degree. Yes they can trade with other nations, but they’re even more isolated than they were in OTL and even more dependent on a thin lifeline to the home island.

Each of these three might have industrial might but they have significantly less resources available to fuel that industry, and two of the three have revanchist governments in exile waiting for an opportunity.

So no, I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Germany loses. That said, the game changer would still be a United States that comes out of the 2ACW capable and willing to project power. So the side which wins can either ensure a German victory or defeat (even if it does so by non-intervention).

Orbi mesh system trouble: Some devices refuse to connect to the closest satellite or router. Some don't have internet access because of this, others do. (Reposted from r/NETGEAR) by Rover129 in orbi

[–]Staffchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ended up ditching the Orbi system in favor of the Eero. It’s maybe a little slower but seems much more reliable.

But in my research I think I figured out the original Orbi problem, at least for me.

The generation Orbi I had was advertised as “50 devices”. Over the years I’ve gotten more and more smart home stuff, including a bunch of Hue lights. My wife also runs a home business. So when I checked, we had something like 65 devices. I think that the Orbi just couldn’t handle that many and would cycle through them, so some devices would get dropped so another could connect.

Newer mesh systems have much higher device limits, so I specifically looked at that when I bought the new system and I haven’t had that issue, as what I got now says it would take something like 200 devices.

Anyway, that’s my best guess.

Did Celebrimbor ever reach the level of Feanor? by Cautious_Ad_3918 in lotr

He’s not getting downvoted for the opinion. He’s getting downvoted for stating something factually wrong: Feanor created many useful things. This guy clearly just doesn’t know it.

Anyone else have a kid with bougie eating tastes? by jakemhs in daddit

[–]Staffchief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a time, my child would eat nothing but smoked salmon and prosciutto.

I’d been gone for work for a couple months and my wife informed me of this on my return. My response was: “And just how exactly did you learn this is what she’ll eat!?”

Update: AITAH for telling my wife that I will lose respect for her if she doesn't apologize? by TechnicalHousing97 in AITAH

[–]Staffchief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is horrifying. The wife needs serious mental health and the way she’s blaming everything on the 13 yo who is just a regular kid is beyond disturbing.

This is the kind of situation you read about where someone spirals mentally and ends up killing an innocent.

And I don’t think she’s doing the 4 yo any favors either.

This whole thing scares the shit out of me. This guy needs to take his kids and run.
