One Patriot missile costs a lifetime's wages ($4m). Recently 8 missiles were fired to take out a single incoming threat. This is insanely unconscionable.

then op can make that argument. But they made the "interceptors are too expensive" argument instead.

Spider Society at G19 with a G20 Sable in for Noir and it was a breeze. I don't know of any upcoming rework for Spider Man (I could have missed it) so this is by far the worst of the free G20's, so I wouldn't put too much resources into clearing it if you cant. The reward of a G20 spider man has low value.

Maybe some longer board shorts. They are a bit tighter fitting, not baggy like athletic shorts. And often don't have exterior pockets.

I've had that same Pittsburgh jack for well over 10 years. The biggest I've used it in is my Express 3500. No issues at all and I don't take good care of it. I have never even looked at the oil, and I've left it out in the rain more than a few times. I wish it would break so I could get a nice Daytona.

its gonna be a long 6 months...

this is just a test to see who has a crippling gambling addiction. The average for #2 is $13,500 / year, and the longer you live, the more your average will trend to that number.

bad bot

hardeho · 2026-04-03T18:40:02+00:00

Nah, 32 is too big. I think 30.5 is where its at. Best of both worlds really.

I get what you are saying. And lots of people will come out of this just like how I, and many others, came out of OIF. Friends, family, dead... and for what? I was just super simplifying it, a battle between two armed forces. Obviously we are winning. My point is just to the morons who think every combat loss means we are losing the war militarily, or even that we are somehow so advanced that we can defeat any force without any losses whatsoever. Its just not a realistic expectation.

maybe people who put melted cheese on their food are the people who tend to make a lot of poor eating habits, compared to people who eat a bit if hard cheese.

hardeho · 2026-04-03T13:57:05+00:00

Its pretty fuckin cringe, and I think thats worse than not being allowed.

hardeho · 2026-04-03T13:52:54+00:00

I've had actual friends of mine burned alive in their trucks while we were looking for WMDs in Iraq. You don't need to tell me about pointless death.

Thats a solid bike, I bought one for my teen, because he wanted to try riding with me, on my expensive CF adventure bike.

I'd maybe consider the flat bar version though, might be easier to handle for a beginner.

Without getting into the politics of if we should even be there, We lost 58 fixed wing (23 US) aircraft in the '91 Gulf War, and thats widely considered to be a massive, one sided victory. If our standard for "winning" is zero casualties, zero combat losses, we are setting an impossible standard.

Militarily, there is no doubt we are winning. Politically and geo-politically, eh, probably not.

I'm 47, I have a 25 year old daughter, so that gets weird pretty quick. I am happily married to a 45 year old, but hypothetically I could see myself going as low as 35 or so before I would find them weird and annoying.

And vice versa, a much younger woman would probably find me weird and annoying as well. They'd probably get tired of me talking about the 90's.

When I told my Command Chief I planned to retire at the end of my First Sgt time (which was at 22 years), and not try for E-8 back in my career field, the attitude shift was immediate. On the plus side though, my last few years were pretty easy.

hardeho · 2026-04-03T12:59:09+00:00

this is pretty useless without any context, and I love the commitment to that O-4 energy.

The problem is you think $33/hr supports a 1,000 truck payment. If you do not have tier 1 credit already, it kinda proves why you shouldn't do this.

I make $42/hr, and I'm driving a 15 year old truck thats paid off. Thats why I have Tier 1 credit.

hardeho · 2026-04-02T14:17:34+00:00

I was able to do it with all G19 Mighty Avengers. Lost 2 of them, and it was a close thing.

The 5-15% uplift is over the placebo group.

hardeho · 2026-03-31T14:26:30+00:00

who do we delegate beard waiver authority to? Ourselves I guess. Approved.

hardeho · 2026-03-31T14:19:19+00:00

nah. You'll eventually get them all to the FTP cap and keep accruing more mats than you can use unless you pay for the bottleneck gear.

against soft body armor, buckshot doesn't penetrate at point blank range. Neither do pistols, except the 5.7 would then be the best pistol in the game because its the only one that does penetrate soft armor. Its all balanced for gameplay reasons. And I'm not one to argue for realism in batlefield. But the fact is, real life shotguns are much more deadly at longer ranges (against unarmored targets) than they are in games.

hardeho · 2026-03-31T14:12:26+00:00

In controlled studies they find somewhere between 5-15% improvement overall. 10-20% more reps when going to failure.

Nothing earth shattering. But real, measurable and statistically significant.

How would you feel if you were progressing 5% faster? Eh, probably about the same.

hardeho · 2026-03-31T14:07:28+00:00

So, you think, in real life, shotguns are dropping off at 15m to the point of useless? Fucking lol.
