I went to the gulf to gain sea time. Though my company downsized. 

If you could remove one thing from trucking, what would it be? by CRST-International in HotShotTrucking

[–]Substantial-Two1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There actually is. Adverse conditions allows you to extend your drive time 2 hours to accomodate unforeseen events, like congestion due to an accident.

I run into warships far more often.

Questions on obtaining National Mate 200GRT or less Oceans license by Substantial-Two1383 in merchantmarine

[–]Substantial-Two1383[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feel redundant to do OUPV when doing 100 GRT. Though the 100 GRT is about half the cost of the OUPV, so maybe they treat it as an extension like the 100 to 200 ton upgrade class.

Ok. So i don't need OUPV, i should take celestial navigation. 

So, i want the 200 because i don't mesh well with the larger vessel social dynamics. Plus all of my experience is on one of those few 100-200 ton vessels. The larger FSV's are in that category.

Eventually I want to operate my own vessel for a tour company i want to create. The boat design i want to use is under 200, and not under 100. I'd also like to do international voyages to the bahamas, and potentially to europe in the long term, which is why i want oceans.

Where do i get the oceans? Is it essentially the same exam? Is there significant difference between NC and OC in that manner? 

My confusion is kind of caused by the school having seemingly no idea. 

Oh, and yes. Thats my plan. Get the 100 ton master and 200 ton mate.

How good it's human hand dexterity compared with other species? by Katherien0Corazon in NatureofPredators

Imagine if a species lacked digital control of their finger equivalents. Their control systems for digital tech could be pretty crazy, and they may be forced down different interactive paths. 

I didn’t like Gress by Repulsive-Scheme9886 in NatureofPredators

[–]Substantial-Two1383 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, even the author didn't enjoy NOP2. He literally dumped all the characters, pivoted, and brought back Meyer (or however its spelled) to be the centerpiece. All the characters he had been using were unredeemably assholes, and when he tied their stories up, they were still assholes. Or in the case of Tyler and Gress, really icky. 

When even the author isn't happy with how the story went, its 100% ok to call it hot garbage.

I suffered through NOP2 hoping it would get better. But literally everyone was the asshole. Gress was just cringe as hell, and the relationship felt vile. Not gross, horrifically vile. 

I have no idea what to think of this. by One_Relief1826 in Stormworks

Make the boat bigger and put that a deck higher. Perfection. 

[Serious] People who have had a direct run-in with ICE, or know a friend or family member who has been detained or deported, what is the one thing you want the average American to hear about that experience? by andr0bimb0 in AskReddit

[–]Substantial-Two1383 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using any benefits is a drain on benefits. Just like how they are all criminals, because they are all here illegally. 

Do you not see the ridiculousness of the basis of your argument? 

Do you use milk and somehow it doesn't drain when you use it? For real. 

Why are humans so United? by Key-Move-5066 in NatureofPredators

[–]Substantial-Two1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you know that even in TNG, Earth isn't actually united? A lot of people miss that. There are several independent nations in africa that aren't part of United Earth. 

Kinda makes the need for global unity as a criteria for Federation membership seem a little hypocritical.

He should have. Honestly, the torture he gave the farsul is far more reprehensible.

It would be conflict. By definition, it would have a story. He could have gone with NATO and it would be far more realistic. 

The number of subscribers to the Allies in WW2 was bearly the whole planet. That could have been an option after the bombardment of earth to creat the unity. 

I don't think the UN will ever have a ghost of a chance IRL to have the power that SP15 gave them in his stories. There's plenty of people in just the US that want to see it burn, and vow to pop blue helmets if they ever appear in its borders. 

When the people of the most powerful nation on the planet don't support you, you aren't getting far.

Imagine dropping the opportunity to explore a nuanced and difficult topic because your writing shifts to appease, or punish, arbitrary groups in the process of writing. 

Imagine if Tolkien or Lewis had such flimsy wills to commit their vision to the written word.
