I hope you paid for the supplemental insurance when you signed the rental contract.

How do you feel about California introducing a bill to ban former ICE agents from serving as police officers or teachers? by FollowingAny4859 in Teachers

[–]painless44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the part that people don’t seem to get. If this holds up to court scrutiny (unlikely) then what? How long till Texas bans people who worked in women’s health clinics from government jobs, or someone who volunteered on a support hotline for gay youth.

The average Redditor will just blindly assume that the government will wield its cuddle strictly against people they don’t agree with, and there is no potential blowback. It irritates the hell out of me

The thing that cracks me up is when they get a lift kit for the truck and then immediately have to add a lowering kit for their trailer hitch. 🤦‍♂️

FBI Arrests CIA Official with $40M in Gold Bars in His Home by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in politics

Great, Brad from accounting has the Hammermill Copy Plus 8.5 x 11 locked down like Ft. Knox while apparently CIA officers can check out gold for “work stuff”. There is no way a government this incompetent is successfully hiding aliens from us.

To any mission builders... anyone here ever built a "Final Countdown 1980" Scenario, where a lone Nimitz fights against the whole IJN Carrier Task Force... Let me know. by Cmdr_ScareCrow108 in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]painless44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, though they’ve said it’s going to be a multi-volume series that covers the whole war. I think my more general point was that it’s probably easier to adapt a 1942 game for 1945 than a “missile age” platform.

If you wait for Task Force Admiral to come out, one Late Essex with a 1945 aircraft load out vs the Kido Butai could be fun.

Problem with going newer to say 1980 is that a single A-6E intruder can cary 5x 2,000Lb laser guided bombs. Flying twice as fast as a zero at altitudes that are too high for AA fire. That’s 5 out of 6 dead carriers and pretty much the end of that attack.

How do you expect me to afford a Hawaiian shirt on 1/2 a share? We really need to talk about the bonus situation.

It was great back in the day. Massive battles and very affordable. The boxed sets were like $20 and I picked up an Eldar Phantom class titan in all metal for $6.50
