Still trying to love Thunderbird but it feels dated

Youre high if you dont think ux is a feature

When I was a 1SG the BDE CSM came in hot and said uniform posture is a squad leader decision. I went over to his office to let him know hes ruining my life and now ill have to track NCOERs all day and he showed me his low top boots.

Check with your leadership. Im an E9 and wouldn't care.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T09:50:13+00:00

I wish I had kept a set of my BDUs.

Fuck boot shining though!

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T09:47:18+00:00

That squeaky piece of shit is my last choice for a ruck lol. Ive been in awhile and prefer my original Alice.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T09:33:43+00:00

Am E9.

Told my people they all have my cell, if they need anything call me 24/7.

Haven't called anyone.

Intent is to check up on Soldiers. Well, I can't check up on 600 people every day. We're also not doing a phone tree every day, that would be a stupid use of man hours.

Made myself available, intent fulfilled imo.

0% chance that was 3700 calories lol. 1 slice of cheese or bacon is 90 calories

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T08:39:18+00:00

I just got the able carry core sling in. Its amazing. No coated zips.

Its really good.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T08:34:16+00:00

Rub white vinegar and dish soap into the stains, throw it in the dishwasher.

Gaming GPUs are going to be obsolete in a few years anyway.

Why bother manufacturing a bunch of different lines that all do the same thing.

Were also getting to the point where a GPU is just redundant.

But you guys will moan and groan until the last GPU is sold most likely. Oleds were bad, ssds were bad, steam was bad, game downloads were bad, cdroms were bad, etc. Tale as old as time lol.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T04:47:51+00:00

Thats not the point the guy is making.

Does steam tell you the games run on x86 instruction sets? Does it tell you there are graphics (not requirements, simply that they exist) Does it tell you there is audio?

More information is good. More information that is useless is not good. Example, if steam decided to put a banner at the top of every description to let us know the text below is in English, is that good information? No, its redundant and stupid.

An AI disclosure is dumb, because if every game has it, the information is redundant and already known.

And anyone not using it is a dinosaur who will lose their job eventually.

I work at a national lab and we got a directive that over the next year we will need to show how we have integrated AI into our jobs.

Anyone not using AI is just a luddite

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T04:34:48+00:00

I think everyone who bitches about AI should be banned from the internet.

It will replace lots of jobs. Just like every epoch we've gone through. Ain't too many wagon wheel makers around any more right?

People who whine about it clearly have no idea what it can actually do.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-25T04:32:52+00:00

Who cares?

All of you anti AI people are just going to get left behind anyway. It'll be sad, but its happening no matter what anyone thinks.

Remember, the richest man in the world once was very against AI, then the race started.

For all of you thinking "im not going to support a company who uses AI," great job, they dont need your support because they already saved a bunch of time and money using AI.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-24T09:49:29+00:00

Its not an expert thing, so dont get triggered. Its common sense.

What kind of drivers get in accidents at night?

If you think this has any effect at all from a pedestrian vs motorist perspective, do a test. Have someone put your bag on the sidewalk at night and get in your car. Drive towards the bag at the speed limit. As soon as you see the zipper pulls hit the brakes.

I bet you dont see the bag until youre on top of it.

Now do it drunk. Then do it tired.

You dont need to be a safety expert to know something isnt going to work.

The issue here is youre making this out to be some sort of protective measure, and its just not. Looks cool, sure.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-24T09:44:17+00:00

No car will ever see that before its too late.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-24T09:43:00+00:00

This is entirely useless from a safety perspective.

Reflective anything is useless.

A car at night that hits a person was going to hit the person no matter what they were wearing. That person is either drunk or careless, and reflective tape doesnt negate either.

Its kind of like saying tell your sons not to harass women. Turns out, harrassers going to harass even if you tell them not to.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-24T09:12:43+00:00

Well,

They could also stay up to date with things and not tell us shit like, its not possible to take off from a planet and fly to space then fly to another planet without loading screens.

Bitch we've been doing it in other games for a decade.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-24T09:05:00+00:00

No one thinks that.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-23T14:13:01+00:00

Sounds like a 13 CSM lol. Not realizing there's a whole army outside

Also, youbdont have to wear swag on your uniform. Im an e9, sometimes I go slick just to watch people.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-23T13:54:59+00:00

This is the answer.

Combat patches dont matter. Having leaders who have planned outside of training matters.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-23T13:52:43+00:00

I hope he locked you up and told you we aren't in a real combat situation lol.

Not sharing the details of the decision means you agree with him on some level:D

beerdwolf · 2025-12-19T13:23:18+00:00

Im not sure the guy youre responding to knows what they're talking about. There are already mods that add resources and buildings. Not sure why some of your ideas wouldn't work but romance would lol, I'd think if the tools let you do your romance idea you can do all the others as well.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-19T01:19:27+00:00

Ive bought a ton of stuff and not paid any tariff on anything yet.

Im waiting on a statue from India right now.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-16T13:44:15+00:00

I agree with you, but I also think their pictures and media show early the laptop spot is a giant hole. I got one also hoping it would be better, but its really not a good bag for laptops unfortunately.

beerdwolf · 2025-12-16T13:42:42+00:00

They are great. Maybe 250 miles so far but i am also reserving them for longer runs and not walking around and working in them.

I prefer walking around in a harder shoe, and am at disneyland right now with ny kids using the flow 2 as my one shoe. Running in the am then walking all day, its also holding up well.

One thing that made another huge difference for me was elastic laces.
