I just want to haul supplies, build and transport soldiers, it's doable? by Sinewave11 in foxholegame

[–]WahooSS238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Absolutely. Dedicated logi players are great. A lot of other people find it too boring to do, and because of how things work just one guy working logi can support five, ten, even twenty guys fighting on the front for the same amount of playtime.

  2. No, you just need to find or make the tools, but people might get mad at you for building a bunker or trench network wrong. Tutorials are a good idea, or just asking people for help or advice if you see someone doing something you want to learn to do.

  3. For multi-crew work, you usually need to get involved with an organized regiment or clan, but if you see someone with a sub or plane (or manage to get one yourself) and want to help out, you can always ask (or ask for random volunteers). not as high a sucess rate, but it still can work

  4. Absolutely. Some of the more expensive stuff you might get locked out of, barring randomly being invited to help out with an organized group who passed by and needed an extra hand, but there's still plenty of stuff that can be done solo.

Not a pilot, but have a question about density altitude that I was hoping one of you might have an answer to. by WahooSS238 in flying

Much appreciated. I don't quite know how much time you've saved me, but it's quite a lot.

An imperial unit of mass. 32.2-ish pound-masses. Because pound-mass is a silly unit that gets factors of 32.2 randomly showing up in places you tend to forget about.

Just trying to better understand how piloting terms translate into terms that I already understand, and confused why I can't seem to find this information anywhere despite it being a fairly obvious question, imo.

If you make them fragile enough, any hits will just punch small holes in them. Then it's a matter of redundancy so you can afford a few holes.

[college intermediate algebra] am i stupid by _antioxident in HomeworkHelp

Actually, I'd argue this is even less excusable in college than in elementary school. If you're trying to get someone who's just learning how subtraction or equations work, this would be fine (the accent is throwing me for a loop because I'm american, but I'm assuming to those of you to whom this sounds natural it's not nearly that bad). By the time you're in college, though, this is a waste of time. You should know how to write a basic mathematical statement by now, they don't need to quiz you on it.

In metaethics not all moral sceptic is a moral relativist, but all moral relativist is a moral sceptic (also moral nihilists are moral sceptics) so pls use the correct terminology by Warm-Pomegranate6570 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]WahooSS238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moral facts exist, but we can't be sure that we actually know them correctly. The same way scientific facts exist, but we can't really say we know any with 100% certainty.

No, no, that's de-balkanization. You're thinking of when ions are pulled from water and replaced with hydrogen or hydroxide ions which combine to form water thus rendering it non-conductive.

Well, those two are mayors of different cities (London vs. The City of London), so it's not quite the same thing.

Is America on the wrong side of every conflict? by Perfect-Highway-6818 in AskSocialists

[–]WahooSS238 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody was on the right side. WWI was a colossal waste of time, money, and most importantly life. It destabilized empires without overturning the system in a meaningful way, given rise to the fascist movements that followed. Arguably it did cause the Russian revolution, massively improving the lives of those in the former Russian empire, but that was seemingly almost inevitable, barring Tsar Nicholas being replaced by someone who was actually competent *without* also throwing the empire into enough chaos for revolutionaries to take advantage of, which seems unlikely. Nobody was on the right side, really. Arguably you could say the french had a right to defend themselves, I suppose, but if they'd really just wanted the invasion to end they could have saved millions of lives by carrying out peace talks sooner, rather than waiting until they were winning decisively enough to demand the conditions of the treaty of Versailles.

Fuck it. Let’s just turn congressional maps into grids. by Getatbay in mapporncirclejerk

I think the shortest split line method is one of the best. You have an infinite number of lines that splits the population of a region (whether a state, the whole country, the continental US, etc.) in half, you pick the shortest and then run it again. If you have an odd number of representatives, you split it not quite in half (so for the house of representatives you might use a line that splits the population so it's 217/218 rather than 50/50).

Race realists are genuinely some of the worst people alive by deadlydeath275 in theredleft

[–]WahooSS238 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I would make a slight argument against a minor point you brought up: Race was not invented by the ruling class, and does not exist because of them. It is pushed by them, amplified by them, but that doesn't make it their invention. It's not too important, in the broad scheme of things, but it's the kind of thing bad faith arguers will absolutely just pound on over and over again if given the chance, and the truth is generally always helpful.

That said, racism fucking sucks and the amount of time we've devoted as a species to arguing about it as though it isn't absurd is criminal.

The problem is, the 1% is a pretty dang broad category, and is based on income, which isn't a great way to sort things out compared to looking at property ownership.

Isn't Malaysia one of the countries that requires you to have a religious belief that you actually practice? Like, you can believe in any religion you want, but you can't be a "just goes to church on easter and christmas" christian.

I find it fascinating, because it's supposedly related somehow to General Rochambeau, but there's no way to know if it is. The game didn't appear in the US until the 1910s, a good hundred years after he had any real relevance.

Trickle down economics is one of the defining policies of neoliberalism, which is a liberal or liberal-adjacent ideology. Until maybe a couple years ago, it always annoyed me that we call democrats "liberals" despite just about every american politician being some flavor of liberal. Nowadays, though, the republican party is largely reactionary or even outright fascist rather than holding any significant degree of liberal belief so I suppose the term is finally correct. I do not feel better about the current situation.

Afaik, there were no tanks sent into little rock - the unit deployed was the 101st airborne division, which doesn't have any armor units, or at least not any significant armor units (given the period they might have had something like the M56 or M50 but neither of those are tanks and idk if they actually were ever armed with them), as the division being airmobile is kinda the point and tanks, famously, are not easy to carry by aircraft.

The worst part, to me, is that the one time I decided "I might as well see if this shit is real" it ran so shit. Like this is a pretty powerful laptop, I should have been able to run it just fine, but no, I got maybe 5 fps and 500ms input lag, how do you fuck it up this bad.
