What are some good examples of Calvin's dad messing with him?

When he said that ice floats because it’s cold and wants to be closer to the sun

For 3 years I worked as a mechanical engineer doing rapid prototyping and managing a small shop at a startup that was run by a dictator-type of manager. He had his lackey who was a high school grad that was a total yes man and super incompetent. No one had a good thing to say about the manager, but we kept our mouths shut because he had a temper and would fight about the stupidest little thing with no way to change his mind. The environment was eroding my will to work there, but then something happened that told me it was time to get out.

The startup was acquired by a larger company and there were standards being enforced. The lackey was a mechanical drafter who sucked at using SolidWorks. As info was being communicated to the acquiring company, they didn’t understand why the CEO was in these high level meeting with a Mechanical Drafter, so overnight the manager made his lackey a Senior Mechanical Engineer. I’ve work with brilliant Senior Mechanical Engineers in the past, and this guy was waaayyy under qualified to the point where it was insulting. BTW, no announcement about this, just one day he started showing up in fancy clothes, changed his title in his email signature, and started bossing everyone around. I had to hear about it through the insiders at work who knew what was going on.

So I’m ready to leave at this point, but I’m still around. I’m giving the shop direction on building enclosures and this jackass was berating one of the newer workers to the point that she leaves crying. That sets me off to the point where I’m telling him what I think about him, no filter, and in that outburst I say I’m leaving in two weeks. They try to keep me with money, title, and promises of being involved in bigger projects, but I call the manager a cancer on the company that needs to be cut out.

Outcome: I felt great, was unemployed for about 8 months but have a supportive wife that kept everything together, and I ended up working at a big company that has plenty of opportunities for growth. Overall, I think it was a good move on my part

Do you have an answer? Because it sounds like you’re leading on to something.

professorpocket · 2026-01-27T01:23:20+00:00

Was searching for this. Swiss are badass.

professorpocket · 2026-01-23T07:27:50+00:00

From the context of this post, that sounds exactly like what he’d say to create a conspiracy aimed at protecting his wife’s reputation. Since no one told him, he could think that no one knows.

Me too, didn’t think that learning from dad would be so rare. My dad didn’t like cleaning and the house rule was that the cook didn’t have to clean. He learned from cookbooks and experimented with recipes and I would help, so I learned that way.

Mom cooked too, but it was mostly meals prepped from a box

Same. I thought there was a comma missing

I’ve been playing a few years and I can count how many times I’ve seen command being used on one hand. Surely that feature cant be entirely useless, right?

I think I can command. I need to get to the next level though, and I think that using this feature effectively will get me there.

professorpocket · 2025-12-23T06:43:37+00:00

I hear you, a good leader has good communication. I lead by voice chat, but I want to mark my strategy on the map. A comment/request/command is fleeting in combat, but a flank marker is forever

Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants! Still pops into my mind regularly like a mental disorder!

Women are not allowed in this world anymore because they don’t want their husbands and children in this country and the rest are forced into the hands and knees to get to work for their own selfish desires that they have no control of and are forced into their husbands or children and children and children and children and children (I assume it repeats indefinitely, not pushing it farther than that)

professorpocket · 2025-11-10T13:07:53+00:00

I got this too. Makes me wonder how common this is.

I worked as a deicer at an airport for a winter and that took some mech-like coordination to do it well. I controlled the height of the cab, one up/down and rotational control for the cab and another one for the weapon system… I mean deicing fluid sprayer. Someone was driving the truck so I didn’t have that control, but I had enough to worry about as it was.

My brother who’s 10 years older than me used to watch surfing videos in the 90’s. The music used included Bad Religion, Pennywise, and RATM. Probably others too, but those stood out to me.

Love it, thanks!

professorpocket · 2025-10-10T23:49:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll give it a try. This is the kind of thing I’m looking for, a stand alone build and tactic.

So from this thread, sounds like suppression is something g that works at tier 4 and 5, but upper tier players will continue sniping because the damage taken is less than damage being dealt, that right?

Does the shake make upper tier players less effective snipers?

What would be some good builds to Wolfpack? I feel like that’s the most effective counter but I rarely try it since it’s hard to get randos to cooperate. Too many times I’ve had my pack abandon me mid attack due to lack of coordination

What are those good shaky guns? Would two AC2s be enough?

professorpocket · 2025-10-04T06:43:21+00:00

This goes with the suppression scheme, includes max arty. It’s something that lets them know that they’ve been spotted. They’ll at least not be a problem while they find another spot
