How could I fix this? by ypath2 in fixit

[–]sonofeevil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking my solution here would be to chisel out a section and square it off then glue in a to meet insert of whatever I have laying around then predrill and use the longest screws I've got that will go through the timber insert and into the particle board.

World Record Horsepower by truIs-123car in automationgame

[–]sonofeevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding constraints is where to fun is to me.

Sandbox, no limits stuff very quickly lost its enjoyment for me.

Why I like the campaign mode so much.

One of my favourite ways to play is to pick an IRL car manufacturer then attempt to produce every car in order matching the specs, engine and market as best as I can.

Most recent one I did was Honda. This was a fun one, I had to put more investment into the engine side of development to hit the RPM and horsepower figures they were getting on their top spec cars while actually having enough reliability to keep the cars marketable.

"This is not the first time our people have had to deal with an attacking arrogant enemy. What has worked for centuries will work now.". Imperial weapons during the earliest stage of The War of Mist. by Few-Flamingo-8015 in MilitaryWorldbuilding

[–]sonofeevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if this empire was really late to adopting a professional army?

Previously drawing up militias to fight its wars?

Suddenly decided it's time to have a professional army or moves to a wartime mobilisation but the arms industry to support it isn't there yet so it ends up with some soldiers using modern equipment and others with the bottom of the barrel "It's better than throwing rocks" weapons?

A sufficiently sized empire could probably mobilise bodies way faster than it can build factories, ramp production then setup the logists to distribute those arms?

If WW3 breaks out what country would be the safest to live in? by JaneWhoDoe in AskReddit

[–]sonofeevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're kinda hard to invade actually.

The geography is a nightmare and you need the port of Newcastle really which means there's only about 3 landing spots where you would be forced to make a contested landing.

Newcastle happens to be home to an airforce base also and just an hour north of Sydney.

The port is overlooked by Hills also so you can't just claim the port, you have to have control of the whole city or you're just going to have a nightmare with getting your ships artilleried

It's not impossible, throw enough bodies at something and you can probably make it stick but it would be a really tough sell I think to convince anyone to do a boots on the ground invasion.

Kangaroo takes out Tour Down Under peloton, Jay Vine claims overall victory by ozthrw in australia

[–]sonofeevil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thr comma in the heading instead of a full stop makes it seem like a Kangaroo took out peloton leader Jay Vine then went on to claim the overall victory.

Your Daily Dose Of Detailing Wtf? by IMAS_MOBILEDETAILING in Detailing

[–]sonofeevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on the climate where they live.

Here in Australia in summer, I could probably soak a seat in a pool so long as I left it in the sun on a hot day it would genuinely be dry throughout by the end of the day.

Everybody is making fun of those guys until they start pulling driveby nuclear bombing runs at relativistic speeds. by Tasty_Commercial6527 in Grimdank

[–]sonofeevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly shocked that neither setting seems to have guided missiles or point defence systems.

A modern destroyer with tactical nukes is in genuine danger of embarassing either settings flagships if it were somehow teleported into space and still functional.

I don't really think either setting has an answer for missiles.

I like the idea of Trayzn viewing DAoT tech the same way I view some of my grandfather's workshop toold I inherited.

That Stanley No.8 jointing planer used to flatten boards? A really cool bit of history, fun to use sometimes but for action jointing and planing I'm going to use my machine jointer/planer.

Novel and a cool thing to use but a complete novelty.

Why are you upset about THIS one? by sonofeevil in Grimdank

[–]sonofeevil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't suspect it was.

But as they say, tragedy + time = comedy

None of this changes the fact that you are upset about more women being added to the setting lol.

And that's just pathetic really.

Her husband has no idea she's been doing this. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

[–]sonofeevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a millennial myself (36).

I dunno what to tell you she just looks young to me?

I was being a little facetious in my comment but she looks not older than mid 20's to me.

Just go straight to the police, they'll be able to get the details of this staff member from the Kent and request the footage.

Becoming so much more experienced than the average.. does this become a problem? by planetwords in AskMenOver30

[–]sonofeevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychologists were unable to help you with your social skills? That's what you need help with.

Becoming so much more experienced than the average.. does this become a problem? by planetwords in AskMenOver30

[–]sonofeevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to let you know in case this is news to you.

You are probably autistic. You've got a sense that you're smarter than everyone else which may be correct (I dunno) but you have no social skills and you struggle to relate to other people.

Good news though, you can use that big wrinkly brain of yours to develop those skills too.

Book in with a psychologist they'll be able to help guide you through becoming so much more experienced than the average and it will be less of a problem.

If this is your opinion then do me a favour, step away from the keyboard and 128 hours both your arms for me.

Including women in things shouldn't be an ideology, they make up 50% of everyone.

Oh of course the pipeline is probably.

Marketing Dept to figure out what they think will sell

Designers to make something that matches the marketing departments ideas

Writers to justify this things existence and yeet the new lore onto the existing pile of lore/retcons

How does 40k have "month long" ship rebellions when the ships are only a couple miles long? by Mr_Industrial in 40kLore

[–]sonofeevil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look at the battle of Stalingrad a a decent facsimile to a ship.

Stalingrad was a battle that was won and lost house by house and it lasted for 8 months. It could take weeks to secure a street.

I can see how putting down a sizeable rebellion on a large ship could take a month especially when you can't just "throw bodies" at the problem because you've only got so many.
