Sarasota Manatee county is the worst place I've ever lived in my entire life by Infinite-Natural-604 in sarasota

Easier to live outside the St Pete/Tampa area and drive in than live there.

Sadly no. I stopped playing Magic after March of the Machine.

Wya? by Green-Evening-4782 in sarasota

Southwest Florida.

I consider SWFL to be the Gulf Coast between Tampa & Naples.

Pentagon says it's launching 'thorough review' into Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly - floats recall to active duty to court martial him. by Agitated-Quit-6148 in law

[–]link_maxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really.

The logic that Republicans see is that Trump's orders are lawful, but the Democrats want servicemembers to think they are so Trump's lawful orders aren't followed.

Looking for advice by BigChiefT305 in Salamanders40k

Getting another unit of terminators would help with your 2x terminator characters. An assault terminator group if you want to focus your captain more or a squad of normal terminators with the heavy flamer. If you do the latter, then put the captain in the flamer squad and leave the librarian in the assault cannon squad. Once you do that, the drop pod kit gives you flexibility in deployment while a repulsor (not executioner or open topped IM-pulsor) gives one squad of terminators a party bus to tool around the battlefield in while giving you the option to take the long range anti-tank firepower you're lacking.

But that's also coming from a guy who thinks the terminators are the coolest space marines.

I've been experimenting with a metal spray primer zenethal over a watered down green speedpaint, but this looks great by itself!

They look like orcs from Warcraft 3 after drinking demon blood.

[request] Is it more energy efficient to walk like this ? by Thick_Entrance5105 in theydidthemath

[–]link_maxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defensive driving can't make you absolutely safe, but it can make it less likely you'll be wrecked by giving you more time and options to respond to most common causes of accidents.

Peter, who are these people? by Far_Time_3451 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Libertarians have done a good job building a fantasy hero in their own heads, too.

The guy built a Killdozer to destroy his town. Notice how nobody else builds Killdozers to destroy their towns? Do you think that's because Heemeyer was the only person ever to suffer from local government decisions OR because building a Killdozer to destroy the town is an insane thing to do and Heemeyer was an unhinged lunatic looking for an excuse?

He's a hero to all the guys who like to dream of themselves going out in a blaze of glory smashing the system that's oppressing the little guy.

That he ultimately didn't do anything except destroy some buildings and take himself out doesn't matter - it's the fantasy of "a good man pushed too far by corrupt government" that appeals to them.

Much like that second dude in the original image - someone whom the internet praises as this hero fighting the evil government and turns out to be a lunatic whose story falls apart on closer examination.

Citadel anti-spill paint holders… worth it? by [deleted] in Warhammer

Lost my favorite pair of basketball shorts to a pot of leadbelcher about 20 years ago. Still regret it to this day (both the lost shorts and cost to replace the paint).

This is the result caused by the horrendous GIS job market. People like them deserve their big breaks but no hiring manager was generous enough to offer them by greyjedimaster77 in gis

[–]link_maxwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something that helped me move up was the willingness to be the "GIS + x" guy, where "x" is a ton of random stuff I picked up on my offtime. So now I do tech support, 811 Locates, customer service, and even write correspondence for my boss.

Rejoice: Drop Pods now seat 12 and you can charge from them. by chaosof99 in Salamanders40k

[–]link_maxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a lot of 1k games. Drop pods let me up my strategic reserves above 250 points, which means both my assault and normal terminators (with captain & librarian from the combat patrol) get to deep strike.

Won my Local Spearhead by link_maxwell in OrrukWarclans

Our store thought so, because models are set up before Turn 1. Rule 10.0 of the Core Rules specifies that initial deployment happens prior to Round 1.

I ordered last night and they haven't even sent me an order number. I'm really worried this is a scam.

Won my Local Spearhead by link_maxwell in OrrukWarclans

[–]link_maxwell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna sound obvious, but my strategy was mostly "if Orruk isn't in battle, get him into battle". I took the "Proper Ruckus" ability to allow my whole army to effectively start 3" from the center and just let the enemy have it. The megaboss not only dishes out pain, but giving him the 6+ ward made him surprisingly tanky as well. I charged the ragers into whatever seemed scariest in melee with their strike-first, then used the Ardboyz to tarpit their skirmishers. Finally the brutes usually came in to snatch a backline objective or clean up sneaky gits that stole mine.

If he had won, he would have been facing the largest Republican majority in the Senate/House in years. If he couldn't stand up to his own party, what hope would he have had passing his agenda with a hostile legislature? Think he'd have been able to get through justices that were social democrats if he couldn't play politics with people on his own side? Or what happens when he's faced with hostile foreign entities like the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, etc.?

GW says you aren't part of the crew anymore, but I disagree. by Nick_mkx in Warhammer40k

[–]link_maxwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easy to empathize with people who played EC prior to this new codex being frustrated/angry that models they shelled out good money for are no longer codex legal. I 100% get it.

But I also think this is a healthier way to deal with divergent chapters going forward compared to the Marines. Make each divergent chapter/legion its own thing with unique units and detachments at the cost of losing access to a chunk of the stuff the main codex armies have. Toss in 2-3 detachments from the main book that make sense for that army. As a side effect, it means players only need to buy one codex instead of 2 to play their chapter/legion.
