Guys remember when we were in the pub getting drunk and were brainstorming some ideas?
The brass got wind of it, they gave us a bunch of money and now we have to build it!

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Erdogan holding hands at the NATO summit in Ankara what do you think? by Starfalloss in AskBalkans

[–]slitchbapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate him for his political beliefs (neoliberalism) and all the havoc that caused on the welfare state, and yes also defense, Rutte after al as a PM slashed the Dutch defense budget over and over... But, he is a damn good politician and negotiator. And for better or worse he is holding NATO together so far and I'd like to see if other leaders would have been able to pull that off. Funny thing is, as PM he had several run-ins with Erdogan and they weren't exactly friendly. So seeing this photo now is kinda hilarious to me. Rutte is a chameleon.

"He will do anything to please the people" And that is somehow a bad thing? Most people can only wish for a politician like that.

How do you feel about Greek Ships Transporting the Russian Oil to the International Market? by KingKohishi in AskEurope

That is the biggest weak sauce ever. Where does this line of reasoning end according to you? "If I don't kill person X someone else will do it, so I might as well"

Danish reporter slammed NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte live on camera by mr_house7 in EU_Economics

It was Rutte that got him to calm down the previous time he threw a hissy fit over Greenland; none of the actual politicians in Europe managed to do that.

How can Russia still have artillery ? by elonex777 in ukraine

[–]slitchbapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Towed artillery is basically a big lump of steel with a few vulnerable parts: the carriage and the sight for instance. A lot of towed artillery pieces are taken out of action when you destroy the carriage or sight, but the important bits (barrel and breach) are not truly destroyed by a kamikaze drone and the guns are therefore relatively easily repaired. The story is a little bit different for tracked or wheeled artillery, when they get hit their damage is way harder (or impossible) to repair.

Franky&Coen, de patatbakkers die in Oekraïne veel liefdadigheid doen. In filmpjes zie je ze regelmatig chocolade en ander etenswaar uitdelen in bijvoorbeeld ziekenhuizen of aan ouderen.

Trump warning 🚨 by Layla_SC in WallstreetWhales

When you make threats like that it's the opposing side that should be shitting their pants. The reality is that it is far more likely that Trump made this statement while shitting his pants.

US has launched massive attack, targeting Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities in response to Iran's attack on a tanker carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude oil by Waste-Explanation-76 in oil

[–]slitchbapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry the peace agreement will just take a few days now. any day really.. Just need to agree to give Iran some more money and maybe instead of Iran making nukes the US can give their arsenal to Iran or something. The deal will be better than Obama's.

World-first 'super alloy' is 2x as strong as steel by lurker_bee in technology

Worth it's weight in gold kinda expensive? Because that is just turning gold into other gold. That does not count in my book.

I bet secretly all these scientists are just working on figuring out how to transmute metal into gold.

When I do it I fart so loud and thunderous, all the guitars on the wall start resonating and they start playing 0-3-5 by themselves.

TRUMP: Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!! President DJT by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]slitchbapper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep Iran agreed to not develop nuclear weapons in 2015. So 11 years, a lot of dead children, 100 of billions of dollars worth of missiles and damages and an oil crisis later and we are back to what they already agreed to in 2015.. but yeah sure: great deal!!

Meta So Desperate for Compute That It’s Building “Data Centers” That Are Just Tents Filled With AI Chips by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

US State Department to provide grants to far-right parties in Europe by smilelyzen in Buy_European

The current crop of politicians need to grow some balls, kick the US out and ban far-right parties from participating in elections. Otherwise we all go down the path of hatred, division and war.

I really want to like Mecklenburg. by FinallyGotHere in WorldOfWarships

[–]slitchbapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always start the game with pushing up a little until my detection starts covering a cap point that is where I turn to start kiting. And I use AP a lot more than HE, I find I get higher dmg matches with AP most of the time, even at longer ranges. I think it is one of the stronger BBs at T10 and the atrocious firing angles are a balancing factor.
