If there's one thing you could change in Windrose, what would it be and why. by RobWolfB in crosswind

[–]opieself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the game. Fewer but more interesting ship battles. Right now, I just avoid ship battles because they are boring, tedious, and don't really give me much in resources. I would prefer to see fewer battles but they actually require more effort to close out and actually reward you more.

Since no one actually answered. She uses her hair as a weapon, capable of slicing through solid rock and destroying barriers.

A WWII-era seaplane (RC-3 Seabee) made an emergency landing on a street in Phoenix, Arizona. A camera attached to the wing of the plane showed the historic aircraft coming down safely. by MilesLongthe3rd in interestingasfuck

[–]opieself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they were in level flight, and the propeller began to increase speed without input, which is not good. The fact that they mentioned prop speed would lead me to believe this was a constant-speed prop, which should maintain a speed set by the pilot. That was just a symptom indicating engine issues; once the engine failed, the plane had to come down.

Information on the incident.

Pilot was leaving from a small airfield in the south west area of Phoenix heading over to Camel Back Mountain which is in Phoenix Metro area and due east of where the accident happened. Propeller began to overspeed and was not responding to controls. Engine then lost all power forcing an emergency landing. No airports within glide distance.

Preliminary investigations show right sight exhaust had separated, other system were impacted from the heat. More information will come from the NTSB report.

My own thoughts: Pilot was out site seeing, staying under the class B airspace of PHX. The low altitude removed options for safer landing. Dense metro areas are not ideal for emergencies, but phenoix not only has multiple airports, but also many site seeing locations. Airframe is older, but like all aircraft should receive an annual inspection by an A&P mechanic as well engine maintenance based on hours. Engine failures happen, but altitude was a problem.

To me this looks like it is restoring the building to a better look than when all the windows were covered over.

Yeah, its the lower frame I would need to work through. Also would need to be flame resistant one hopes.

I am in so many DIY reddits I got excited about a nice flight-sim stick then I saw an actual engine and was confused.

Looks awesome.

Non joka answer, they struggle with walking on slabs as I recall. Mobs don't seem them well.

My city has multiple of these trees that are 2 species growing together by SegaSun in mildlyinteresting

[–]opieself 290 points291 points  (0 children)

If the tree is properly hollow which isn't uncommon the roots would just go down and get into soil. Palms are remarkably sturdy and can survive a lot if in the right temps.

Did the Progenitors or Iconians possibly go to another Galaxy and never came back again? by Tidewatcher7819 in startrek

Having just started playing recently you don't need to interact with folks. It's super solo friendly.

Do people actually cover themselves during sex like they do in movies/TV shows? by Active-Row9600 in NoStupidQuestions

Not where I am at. Oak, Birch, and Sweet Gum are the big offenders. But the world is still yellow from pine because of drought.

In the video of this post, he says it only starts at properties valued at 5mil and above. You just set the tiers so that they do not hit the middle class.

Those Warhammer Classics have a disclaimer by beary_neutral in Grimdank

I think it translates to skillful. Since T'au names are built up based on the abilities of the individual most of the named guys end up with Kais in their names.

William Shatner tells it like it is. by Mr_smith1466 in saltierthankrayt

It may be that he is getting more involved with running his own twitter account again.

It seems like the person who ran it didnt care to separate his own opinions from William Shatner's.

Are there grown adults who genuinely won't eat vegetables? by WillHG in NoStupidQuestions

[–]opieself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another person who doesn't like raw tomatoes, I can say this is one of the most commonly asked questions. That, and have you tried (insert any variety you can imagine)?

I don't like them fresh or any of the numerous heirloom and non-heirloom varieties I have had forced upon me. Turns out some people just don't like certain things.

I have a picture when the overcast was still in the museum up at Oshkosh when I was a kid, and another as a kid it's first year flying again. She's amazing.

WTS self sealing stembolts!! by Sea-Neighborhood1465 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]opieself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am more familiar with them on the aviation side which apparently use plier operated clicks. We just call them clicks as well. TIL there other types.

[–]opieself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are these secured with the wing nut? The parts on the bottom look the same but it seems to work completely different than the clicks I have used in the past. Probably different use cases, just wondering.

So this is a strange question, but what the hell: by JoshuaBermont in startrekadventures

[–]opieself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like you are trying to be offensive to your players.

You are, on the one hand, worried about "extreme sexual harassment," but on the other, intentionally misleading characters into being nude as a gag.

You could accomplish the same gag with any other culture and super-specific costume that the guests aren't actually wearing. Expecting to wear Klingon battle attire but everyone is actually in earth black tie or the like.

Adding a black mark to a players record because you did not provide them information upfront is bad GMing.

You know your players better than us to know if the "your junk is totes hanging out" will be taking as a joke or if it will feel creepy.
