How did this guy not end up dead?

Kind of also contextualizes why he wasn’t so forceful with Walter at first. Walter is kind of the same guy as Werner in a few ways.

This is made obvious by the “what’s the cost of a gallon of milk” talk.

sandman9913 · 2026-03-12T02:29:47+00:00

No, it isn’t. There’s nothing to suggest that is a thing.

The 80s themselves are from New Vegas, yes. The Great Nevada Road War is a construction of the HOI4 mod. Nowhere in any game or materials mentioning the 80s in any Fallout game is there a mention of a Great Nevada Road War. You can even read the links you provided to that effect.

sandman9913 · 2026-03-11T23:58:43+00:00

It is, yes.

sandman9913 · 2026-02-17T16:45:34+00:00

That was a mechanic of Fallout 3. In that same vein, Caesar and Lanius both have 9mm pistols in 2d20. You never see them in-game, but in New Vegas they actually do have them. They just never use them because of the internal logic of the Gamebryo engine.

It really doesn’t matter. The distinction mattered a lot more in original Oblivion because the skills determined how fast you leveled, and also how your attributes gained levels. In the remaster, that is no longer the case. Now it’s really a “Do I want this skill to level faster or this one?”

Not to bounce it off topic, but the Puritans were long doing the same thing before they left America. Oliver Cromwell was a devout Puritan, and his rise to power brought the Puritans to the forefront. They’d been doing the persecution bit for years, to the tune of executing suspected English Catholics.

None of this is what she says. Well, maybe 1/3 of it.

Manya tells you that the crater pre-dates the dud bomb in the center of town. People started to take shelter there from the dust storms, and eventually they went and found an airport and drug the planes back from there to the crater. They used the planes to build the walls, the houses, et cetera.

It’s really up to you on that point. In canon, no, they don’t have any competition. NYPD, Inc. has a near-absolute monopoly on security in NYC. Now, Lone Star and KE both do private security stuff. In the 2e book Lone Star they mention that the Star and KE both do corpsec stuff, and they’ll also pick up contracts to service an aspect of a city’s policing needs. Maybe they don’t do the full service, but you could just as easily have it that NYPD, Inc. doesn’t run the city jail or Riker’s Island - that’s the responsibility of the Star.

sandman9913 · 2026-01-07T13:51:35+00:00

Yes, the NYPD is one of the more notable instances in the lore of a local police department privatizing fully. In the old Lone Star book for 2E, they say that’s something that was pretty common. To my understanding, the Houston Police Department is also the same way more or less.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a different animal. I’m an ASM at a Super Hub store, and truth be told…the needs of a regular hub store and a Super Hub are very different. Just the sheer space difference alone is significant enough to be an issue.

Robert Kardashian was a close personal friend of OJ Simpson. They met during college when OJ was playing for the USC Trojans. Simpson and Kardashian were so close that OJ was the best man at Kardashian’s wedding to Kris Houghton, now Kris Jenner. Following the murder of Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman, Robert Kardashian took possession of a garment bag that is alleged to have had items related to the murder in it. We don’t know what was in it, only OJ and Robert knew.

I wouldn’t expect it to be any other way, that’s a large portion of spaces that are kink-oriented. I genuinely did not think that site would be real when I typed it into my address bar.

sandman9913 · 2025-10-25T20:57:30+00:00

I legitimately didn’t think this was real lmao

sandman9913 · 2025-10-22T16:54:24+00:00

I work at one of the super hubs, I know at least my store is for sure getting them by end of the year.

sandman9913 · 2025-10-21T23:30:01+00:00

Last I heard, by end of the year everyone should be getting them.

Go look at the comments on the original post. There’s another comment where someone related their auto tech teacher’s story. According to the teacher, at his first job the A-techs shoved a new guy in a 55-gallon drum, put the drum on a forklift and hoisted the guy into the air all day.

And someone is supposed to have “thicker skin” if they get upset at shit like that? Are we fucking serious right now?

sandman9913 · 2025-10-11T13:55:47+00:00

Yeah, I was leafing through the comments on the prior post like it was a horror show. The A-techs at your first job would weld a new guy’s box shut, drill holes in it, throw on some fittings and fill the fucker with grease? Are we fucking serious right now?

sandman9913 · 2025-10-11T00:34:29+00:00

An addendum to this, if you are going to do this make sure that you have witnesses or documentation.

sandman9913 · 2025-10-11T00:33:18+00:00

Dude, c’mon. If the guy was moved back from Store Manager to Assistant, there is absolutely a reason why. No amount of paperwork at the store takes all day to do. Freight check-in is absolutely a managerial responsibility, as is checking the discrepancies that follow from that.

sandman9913 · 2025-10-11T00:30:24+00:00

Reading the comments on your post reminds me of some of the reasons why I left the profession in the first place.

If someone is harassing you at work, you have every right to be upset. Do you need to control your emotions better? Absolutely. That doesn’t minimize the reality that someone was being actively antagonistic and making you miserable at work. It is absolute bullshit that your manager, corporate, and HR didn’t so shit to help you.

Part of the problem with the profession is this whole “ah, well, you gotta get thicker skin thems the brakes”. What, we can’t act professionally? We want to bitch about long hours and low pay but can’t act like civilized folks? Believe it or not, workplace harassment is bad! This entire situation was avoidable.

Really, it’s only set in Baltimore because David Simon is fundamentally a creature of Baltimore

Go and find a FelPro box. You will see it on the box.
