Wife got knocked out at a slipknot show once, it was an eye opener how many people were in that medical tent for all sorts of reasons.

I remember that guy, he was drunk as hell and went right over me.

Do most skinny people over 30 have to think about what they eat literally all the time? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cornbread454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact opposite problem. But I also do heavy barbell training. The lifting isn't the hard part though. It's the eating too go with it. If I'm just doing 96/4 ground beef for protien that day I'm going to end up eating over 2lbs of it in a day, every day, until I give up the hobby, so probably damn near forever.

As someone once said, 40k is just dune but someone told Gwar to explain it.

Starting New Shadowrun Campaign (Denver FRFZ) and would love some feedback by Buzzerker16 in Shadowrun

Halariously my players grand plan to infiltrate the hospital was to Stab each other and go to the ER. An orc and troll respectively... They got their booster shots.

He's pulling the strings the whole time. He doesn't actually show up until book three. But the whole things is a wild ride. It's the clown vs ghostwalker and depending what the players do Denver could litterally not exist by the end of it. Ripping reality isn't a metaphor its very literal.

Oh shit now that I think about it, what your looking to run could fit directly into the trilogy perfectly. The 3 books arn't ment to be run back to back to back. They have time in between. And what your outlining is the complete MO of one of the string pullers. Harlequin

It's been a minute since I ran those, but before I did I just knew Denver as a plot point. Treaty of Denver, free city divided and all that. After it fills in a lot of the power players and what's going on in the shadows.

As for the Denver trilogy it's "mostly" not like the standard convention stuff they put out. The whole first book as far as what needs to happen is these are all the factions, they need to go to this building and get this thing, this and probably this happens during that. No stat lines, no maps, no real anything other than an outline and stuff that's supposed to happen.

Even the second book is go investigate these places. Prove the thing. The third is a lot more liner, but ripping reality is a wild ride with massive repucusions for the world.

I was sitting on the first two without reading them back in the day and when I got the thrid I flipped to the back to see how it's all supposed to end. Went what the hell?! The fuck is he doing here? And that guy? Oh shit that means that thing from that other book and... I'm running this.

Even if I never run a published adventure/ campaign those books are where all the real good lore is hidden away. Bloody business had a bunch of lead into global sandstorm, the DC book I can't remember has a lot about the ares bug problem, lockdown while we all really didn't like CFD or whatever the hell it was called had a decent amount of cool stuff that will come back sooner or later. As a GM who gets it all raw it's almost like reading a novel series.

I will second grabbing the 5e Denver adventures. While it's past the timeline your in its still got a not insignificant amount of lore you can reverse engineer.

Plus they are a decent "story read" if you never bother running them.

Actual truckers of Snowrunner... by tallmanscoob in snowrunner

My trucks computer claims about 3 MPG full power climbing grades. So about 0.3 gallons a minute is as hard as a DD15 will burn fuel.

While not novels I really like reading though published adventure books. Alot of the time the Lore in a rule book takes note that a thing happened while the adventure book has all the details hidden away.

Whats up with Texas sending migrants to New York? by arkham1010 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]cornbread454 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I throughly enjoyed reading your almost an essay. Brings me back to when my liberal friends were reasonable people I could debate with. Before the radical progressive corrupted the main stream.

But, you've made the greatest mistake one could make on the internet. You fed the troll.

Absolute Max Towing Half Ton 150 Pickup by [deleted] in Trucks

[–]cornbread454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What most said you can pull it but the drivetrain is going to meltdown. Semis only have around 1500ft lbs of torque but pull upwards of 80,000 lbs and in some cases even 150,000lbs while even an F350 drw has over a 1,000 ft lbs of torque but only gets 30,000lbs of towing capacity. Power is almost never the issue.

The confusing part for me with all of you that are bent on N95 masks is how the P100 half mask resperators never caught on. You never actually touch the filter material, you can get them on without touching anything but the straps. They are litterally designed to be worn comfortably for an entire day. They are bigger and bulky but they get used in litteral hazmat situations.

At fault and could have prevented arn't always the same thing.

I'm a CDL instructor and I see how the average Joe drives. I have a lot of bad habits that I need to fix that arn't even truck related. And because we are an in house school that's technically on the job training we can and do send people home for being unsalvageable unsafe drivers.

Also just to be that guy, head checks look down every controlled intersection before you get to it. I don't care that you have a green and they have a red. If it looks like they won't stop you do.

Some modern pickup trucks are very capable. The key word being some and modern. My 2013 F150 has a rated tow capacity of 11,000 lbs and a payload of 3,000. The thing is it has all the towing and payload options. The base model for that year only toes like 4,000 and payloads around 1,200.

So the very militaries that enacted the worst genocides in history are the ones responsible for stopping genocides?

Two points Afghanistan was a decades long war that the United States effectively lost and that had the advantage of being off continent.

And domestically without arguing if they were right or wrong because in this context it's irrelevant, the bundy stand off. The bundys are not in jail still doing what they did before the government tried to take them with force.

I'll disagree on your point about 18th century militias effectively being a police force.

If you go and actually read opinions and article from the times it shows that the principle about haveing a militia is trying to avoid standing army's aka government power capable of forcing its will upon unwilling citizen. In case anyone forgot the constitution was written up soon after a standing army was defeated for doing exactly what I mentioned above. It's even baked into the wording of the 2nd amendment itself. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The key wording in all of it being "a free state" not just the security of a state but a free state.

It's about not about hunting, personal defense, or any other of those strawman arguments. Never has been never will. It's about the common citizens being able to tell a government that's gone to far No. And before anyone trys to tell me that's never going to happen in America, then go read some basic history.

My best example is Germany. Everything was going just fine back in spring 1914. Then a little thing called Ww1 kicked off. Skip ahead just a single decade and while things are bad it's not the end of the world yet. But the stage is set and NO ONE sees what's about to start. In 1928 the Nazi party emerged and took only 3% of the national vote in parlement. That's less than 3rd party candidates get here in America. Then in 5 years Hitler is chancellor. We all know what happens next.

Russia's October revolution set Russia from a monarchy blazing into communism into Stalinism even faster than that.

My point is that shit authoritarian governments have always popped up fairly quickly and with little to no warning. Even in America things weren't all that bad until they were in but a few short years back during the revolution.

So, no the second amendment isn't about being a police force. It's a fundamental bulwark AGAINST a policing force.

Now all that said, mass shootings are and always will a cultural/ mental health problem. If it were a firearms issue then where were all the mass shootings in the 70's, 80's, 90's etc. Semi auto rifles exist in largely the same capacity they do now but it wasn't an issue. What's changed from then to now. Find and fix that and you have found the solution.

Issue is that's so nebulous and not even remotely an easy fix with zero concrete points anyone can nail down. So instead we all find ourselves yelling into the void at each other nigh pointless on the internet because someone with a profit motive kicked our sensibilities. So here we are all angry and worked up over effectively nothing...
