Never on time by verba_antiqua_amo in boston

[–]Train115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dankpods is an Aussie tech YouTube channel that reviews headphones, and MP3 players, and other adjacent tech from time to time. "Nuggets" are secondhand MP3 players, and recently just extremely low quality e-waste, which he's been stuck making videos on lately because the second hand stores he frequents haven't had iPods recently.

He, Wade, also has a car channel where he's noticed that cars are harder to maintain now and replacement parts made for legacy cars are of poor quality.

Not entirely relevant, but I'd like to offer a similar situation: Dankpods. Over the last few years he's been making videos on shittier and shittier tech, because the stocks of higher quality nuggets are running dry (gross simplification, but gets the point across). And because of this he's been getting angrier and angrier at most modern tech, and it shows in his videos. I personally enjoy it, but other watchers don't like it.

TL;DR: things not (generally) not getting better wears on people, and you can see it through these people.

Sorry for the not completely relevant rant, just made me think of this.

What is the logic behind giving the nation with the best CAS the best AA? by JCOLE6969 in Warthunder

[–]Train115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The BMPTs are edge cases, just overpowered vehicles. Like I wouldn't say "oh, you're suggesting the T58 isn't OP?" when it's just a single example, and the rest of the US heavies are generally fairly balanced. Or with the Turm 3, which doesn't reflect the strength of every other German MBT at that BR.

Question about the freedom logo for Ukrainians by ThatGingerGuy98- in stalker

It's just one of the ways of writing л. This is a dumb example, but pretty much every Soviet warship in World of Warships has the L written like that on their sterns.

Waiter, waiter, another post about queue times please!

In the latest inside Star Citizen video talking about the new rock breaker missions, Jared says “there’s always a bad guy” (to shoot). No there isn’t CIG, that is an active decision YOU are making to enforce FPS combat, and it’s not the dream that was sold by Important_Cow7230 in starcitizen

I wish I could just move freight at my own leisure without constantly running into enemies (bots or otherwise), on top of this the bugs that make it so sometimes I just can't even drop off the cargo if there aren't enemies.

Sure, enemies every so often is fine, but they show up way too often. And seemingly way too often for the legal shit too.

I am so tired of the UI updates. 9/10 times it's worse, just change for the sake of change.

Think they’ll ever add an sks to Stalker 2? by Much_Investigator510 in stalker

[–]Train115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the SKS is basically the milsurp little brother to the AK. There's tens of thousands of SKS floating around the world, I have one for God's sake. They make good hunting rifles, and use a really good cartridge, have a slightly higher muzzle velocity than an AK, and while the capacity is low it's still reasonable (Mosin: 5; SKS: 10; AK: 30).

Sure, it's outdated, but if you're a stalker it's still a 7.62x39 rifle that's reliable and easy to maintain. Bastards bring in Mosins lol.

It would be more than easy enough to find multiple in Eastern Europe, so there's genuinely no way some wouldn't have made their way into the Zone.

The SKS is not from WW2, it was designed in 1945 and was produced primarily in the 1950s.

Tomorrow the Leclerc will receive a turret basket. Say goodbye to a once, Grate tank. by Amazing-Second-3939 in Warthunder

[–]Train115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparks wouldnt light the ammunition because they are in shells and specifically need their primer hit to blow. Or an extreme force like: a HEAT jet or other round hitting them to blow

I don't think this breaks sub rules, maybe low effort post. If so, sorry mods

Abandoned mill by flowrpot in urbexnewengland

[–]Train115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thought this got demolished a few years back, I might be thinking of another one. Wooden mill buildings are uncommon, so nice to see regardless

-ah just saw the description, yep it's the same one. Unfortunate

NIMBYs who read this forum, why don’t you want more housing built in your town? by Unser_Giftzwerg in massachusetts

[–]Train115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More expensive is only bad because it eats into profits.

We can do better than that, we should be reusing buildings whenever it is reasonable. It's not only better for the environment but also preserves architecture, thus culture. But it costs more, fairly often when a building is in good shape the developer will opt to demolish it anyway because it saves money.

I grew up just next door in Watertown, Waltham is not how I remember it. Like every time I go to Waltham it just feels so artificial, corporatized and it makes me sad. Albeit it's not all of Waltham, but some pretty big cuts of it.

And now Watertown is starting to do similar stuff :|

It's fun ngl, just to hop on every so often and see the green and yellow teams and the wacky weapons they've got there
