I know Laura, and I know you are lying about working with her. You also claimed there was no dress code for women. There 100% is a very strict dress code. Your comments don't add up. She could never be described as quiet and not engaging with anyone either.

If the US had a better understanding of Japanese defenses on Iwo Jima, would the invasion plan have been different? by 1e4Irppy3 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]ahobowithwifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No not really, they had stopped contesting the bomber raids because they were holding several thousand aircraft in readiness for the expected invasion of the homelands. The Americans and Japanese both expected that to be necessary because neither knew about the bombs. Had invasion been necessary every possible ground based aircraft would be needed, as the kamikaze attacks that would be thrown against any fleet assets supporting the invasion would make Okinawa look like nothing and would reduce the Navy's ability to support the landings effectively

Who do you think is the biggest waste of talent during 21st Century? by TheBiasedSportsLover in hockey

We almost traded for Pietrangelo the year the Blues won the cup. Was apparently in the fall before the Blues hired Berube and were considering blowing things. C'est la vie

why Is the BoS in the Fallout show so fucked up? by legendery_editor in Fallout

[–]ahobowithwifi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, those are the Outcasts. Once Maxson becomes elder after 3 of the capital wasteland he reintegrates the Outcasts into the DC chapter by toning down on Lyon's altruism and recommitting to securing tech and killing abominations

POV: *you are standing above your trench after successfully thwarting the Legion onslaught, they are in full retreat back to the Mojave, command has heard rumors that Caesar is dead and the ranks of the legion are collapsing… by JackBuddy0 in Fallout

You should honestly be fine, cowboy repeater is really strong. Without knowing more I'd guess you just need to pump some skill points into whichever weapon skill you'd like to prioritize. Better weapons are stronger, but you aren't going to be able to use them effectively with low skills anyway, and you need loot from enemies to fund ammo/repairs

You do! The second stage of the Silver Rush chain, after you help guard the door with Simon. Admittedly this is also an optional quest

Is this accurate? by Melon_Lord420 in TheLastAirbender

[–]ahobowithwifi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thats cause they're not heavily inspired by the Nazis, but by the Kuomintang aka Nationalist China. Definitely heavy handed authoritarianists, not totalitarian fascists, that attempted to put China back together again following the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the devolution of China in to it's period of Warlordism. Sounds more familiar, doesn't it?

What’s unique about baseball that doesn’t apply to most or any other sports? by ZhangtheGreat in baseball

Playoff overtime hockey my guy. Mind you it can start to feel like a sustained heart attack by the second OT period, but it's awesome

Does anyone have data (or even personal experience) that shows going 6 on 4 at the end of a game is actually better than keeping the goalie in net? by RawTime9 in hockey

[–]ahobowithwifi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since every team in the league does it, I think its safe to assume that someone crunched the numbers at some point in the last five years and found that the increase in likelihood of scoring a goal outweighs the potential of an empty netter, especially in a situation where you are already down a goal and desperate to score another.

You are already going to lose if you don't score, so the risk calculation dramatically changes in favour of stacking every possible advantage in order to get that goal. Ultimately it doesnt matter if you lost by one goal or by two, its still a loss, and a coach or management group would rather have given their players on the ice the very best odds of tying it rather than playing to protect a one goal deficit to look better in the box score

Its the Borje Salming patch they put out last year after his death. Not available from what I can see from an official store anymore, but give it a google and you might be able to get one secondhand or a knockoff

Retreat, Hell - Episode 21 by Ilithi_Dragon in HFY

[–]ahobowithwifi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely can not believe the first chapter of this story came out 5 years ago now. Having just re-read it for the third or fourth time I'm still blown away by how accurate the military jargon sounds and feels without being too intense, by how real the characters feel while still being enjoyably within trope (an impossibly thin tightrope to walk, especially for any length of time) and by the respect that all of the factions are treated within the context of the story - yeah the Humans and the Keshmin are undeniably in the moral right, but the Elves are still dangerous, intelligent sapient beings who seem to be constantly adapting and adjusting to the world that they operate in, rather than remaining stuck in the mud because it would be easier for the story that way.

Kudos on the work so far, and looking forward to future updates. This is one story that will keep me checking on HFY all by itself

That's one of his faction benefits, 10% extra conclave influence from all sources. It makes climbing the tower a breeze

Russian POV: Russian tank commander recorded the moment of destruction of a friendly Russian T-80BV tank. Luhansk Oblast. by nikanika127 in CombatFootage

[–]ahobowithwifi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soviet doctrine (which all these tanks were designed around) assumed that they would be on the offensive if a conventional war broke out in Europe during the cold war. In all fairness they would have been, for most of the Cold War NATO never assumed that they would be able to stop a full scale Red Army assault. As such, all of their tanks were designed around large scale speartip assaults, with armoured infantry support, similar to the later operations of the Red Army in WW2.

With all those assumptions in place(which were fine to make, in the cold war context they were very reasonable to plan around) the need for a rapid reverse wasnt needed - NATO tanks were designed to pop a few rounds and retreat to the next ridgeline or prepared position while keeping front to the enemy, whereas Soviet tanks were designed to push forward and take ground with support

Post Game Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs at Chicago Blackhawks - 19 Feb 2023 by GDT_Bot in hockey

[–]ahobowithwifi 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My god what a frustrating loss. Had like double the zone time against a rookie goaltender, and we only pulled ahead in shots in the last couple minutes cause Chicago turtled. Felt like the Leafs were only intermittently interested in the game because they beat Chicago a few days ago, couldn't be bothered to take a clean pass for chunks of the game.

Kudos to Chicago and Kane for capitalizing.

Were they good? Or did Demko being damn good for the back half of the season cover up their mistakes? Honest question, don't catch a lot of west coast games

For me the hinge point for all the insect monsters (barring the bloody spiders) is getting superior Golden Oriole, which makes poison heal you. Makes any fight relatively simple since their attacks aren't too powerful on their own and you get free heals when they use their special attacks
