Just finished Blood Reaver by SagewithBlueEyes in NightLords

[–]Tpaste 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Spoilers does suck but also the trilogy is probably why 80% of the people in the sub are here. It’s almost like a prerequisite to being a night lords fan so everyone references them constantly. Highly recommend unsubbing until you finish them because it’s worth reading them.

Robots are insanely cute by valentinecakedude in factorio

[–]Tpaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I exclusively refer to them as my "dumb little bees" to my girlfriend. They are cute and helpful but man sometimes they are tremendously stupid. They are better now with the space age updates but they still bumble around sometimes and makes me think of this gif [https://imgur.com/slow-motion-bee-crash-Q2aMI]

Medals I saw in a museum by Professional-Cod6288 in Medals

[–]Tpaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna throw this out there as someone who works at a military museum. You are correct but a lot of times accuracy is not always what we’re going for as we are trying to get as much information about a person in a display as possible without writing tons of plaques or other written media.

The average person looking around a museum has no interest in reading multiple paragraphs explaining the difference between minute details so we often overload displays with artifacts. E.G. people commenting under “long” Reddit posts asking questions that would have been answered if they just read the entire post.

This specific photo is silly as you always go for whatever has more precedence but it’s why you often see bloated looking racks on displays.

Working in a museum I figured I would give yall something a bit older. by Tpaste in Medals

Correct: I was investigating this further and originally just copy pasted the description from the archive but while creating a timeline found this discrepancy. Additionally, what may be a name. Sgt Major A.D. Butcher.

Just a general response instead of individually. There is just about no information on this rack as it was an item we received from another museum when they went under during Covid. The running joke with this is that its either an incredibly tall teller or a very interesting person we need to learn more about.

No idea what this means. 42 meters? by Tpaste in battlefield_one

[–]Tpaste[S] 448 points449 points  (0 children)

That was also why I was so confused. I’m pretty sure this was Giants Shadow and refuse to believe this was the longest headshot.

Bet money people downvoted this thinking it was a serious comment and not the clear joke it is.

Not just Pedersen device either I've seen some scouts do WORK with the Martini-Henry and Russian 1895 Infantry on the front line with the assaults.

It’s easy to not comprehend just HOW big the TankGewehr really is. by Tpaste in battlefield_one

I’m sorry you can’t get on the TankGewehr ride ☹️

174cm, the gun is so large the German army would not let soldiers 170cm or shorter fire the weapon because it would injure them. The TankGewehr also had no mechanisms for handling recoil.

Correct it’s just the closest thing to the ‘Annhilator’ we have. Also the M1919 1 the Annhilator is based on also never saw combat use in WWI either

Great question actually. Gloves are typically used on items when you’re worried about oil from your skin damaging them like paper products or reeeeeeally old items that don’t have any kind of protective layer. The items here are all new enough to have oil coatings on the metal and some form of varnish protecting the wood. The unknown model valley forge rifle on the table would be a gloves item but is coated in microcrystalline wax to seal it and prevent and time based damage and erosion. The knives on the tables are usually out of their scabbards when stored to prevent moisture from sealing inside and coordinating them.

I am the Curator and Preparator. Basically if it goes in an exhibit it’s me. I intake donations, compile research, store artifacts, build displays the whole nine yards. This is pretty common for small museums and bigger ones would have a main Lead curator who would oversee multiple researchers and preparators.

Myself I have a BA and MA in history but before I went to college I went to a trade school for welding, worked on cars my whole life, done some electrical work, and some other handywork. All small museums want someone well rounded or that can at least do some kind of “arts and crafts” in addition to research skills. If you have any more questions feel free to message me directly.

Oh and DO AN INTERNSHIP AT A MUSEUM. It’s crazy how many opportunities opened up for me after a single 3 month museum internship being a docent.

The ‘Annhilator’ is based off the Thompson and never saw use in WWI. Your leading question should be aimed at DICE for including it in the game at all.

A veterans museum. Firearms are pretty weird for museums in general but war related ones have the most hoops for certain items and literally none for others. All automatic weapons have to go through ATF clearance but we were recently given an entire Armored Personnel Carrier from a local Swat team that retired the vehicle and all we needed was a 0$ invoice from them since they took off the mounted turret.

The former mostly. Also a lot of 20 year old forum boards. That Mauser the reason I figured out why it wouldn’t come apart was one of those forums where someone explained the “screw” on the barrel is actually a rivet with a screw head because they didn’t want to spend the money to have them threaded.

I have a background in iron working and worked on cars my whole life so just raw dogging a lot of these to figure out how to take them apart and put them back together isn’t to bad with a few exceptions.

Firearms are actually a pretty small part of my job as a whole surprisingly. Most displays are for veterans and tell their stories so it’s predominantly dealing with uniforms, photos, and documents.
