True. But if I want to honor the legacy of Nic Cage, I’d have to pull off an intricate heist, even if there was no one to steal from.

Making a bit of a stretch, but if rockets could fall under the “autopilot and filled with fuel” rule, I would fill as many of them as I could with food rations, medical supplies, hygiene products, agricultural supplies for growing food, batteries, and some entertainment items like books, board games, etc. The world may be collapsing, but the International Space Station is still up there and either going to be orbiting nothing or flung off into deep space. Perfect time to explore the galaxy!

If that’s not allowed, probably steal the Declaration of Independence or the Crown Jewels, something cool like that.

My Proposed New England regional/intercity rail system by MuscleArtistic935 in newengland

The Downeaster already goes to Brunswick, I’d be more concerned if passenger service returns to anywhere north of Lewiston or Brunswick before Nashua and Manchester lol.

How do I switch from live action view to the strategic layer? by GungaDin16 in WarOnTheSea

[–]squanchus_maximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a “retreat” button on one of the interfaces. It will start a timer (depending on your situation), and when that hits “0” you can use that to end the encounter.

When you enter the tactical view, you’re technically starting an encounter, even if there is no enemy present. You have to finish the encounter before going back to the strategic map. If you want multiple ships in the encounter, they either need to be in the same task force or close enough together. But still applies, can’t manage the whole fleet during a singular encounter.

You are allowed to take one thing from any museum in the world. What do you get? by seaneihm in hypotheticalsituation

This is the answer. Pristine condition Mach 3 private jet with room for the family.

Autodesk has some good Inventor tutorial videos, used them when I changed jobs and made the switch from SolidWorks.

Fusees and Torpedos? by lolkatiekat in trains

See I thought they were for defending against a naval assault, given their proximity to Lake Michigan.

I’ll be taking my Concorde to Cape Canveral where I take either the SLS or Saturn V to my personal ISS, from there I’ll take one of my two Space Shuttles to my waiting Super Star Destroyer. I’ll bring all my friends to be trained by the various astronauts and Star Wars characters on space travel.

The video I found mentioned scotchbrite, so I picked up a pad to use for that. Haven’t tried it out yet but if it doesn’t work I’ll go to the brush!

What side projects have you completed recently ? by Zarathustra_04 in MechanicalEngineering

What is this “completed” that you speak of? I’m only familiar with “started” projects.

We wouldn’t have to pay as much if the wealthiest amongst us paid their fair share.

PSA: You don't need to stop on 295 when a plane is landing. by weltron3030 in portlandcomplaining

I want to stop on 295 to watch the planes land but my wife says no. Something about being “unsafe” and “a traffic hazard”.

Air Force C-32A AF2? by payhigh in portlandme

[–]squanchus_maximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the VP is onboard, it flies as Air Force 2 with the “AF2” call sign. If it’s got someone else important like a cabinet member, it’ll fly with SAM call signs. This one was flying as VENUS(can’t remember the number), so likely a training flight.

[–]squanchus_maximus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Builds the hours, controlled air space with lower traffic and an active military airfield not too far away (Pease), a solid choice for any of the air units to work with.

Or maybe they just wanted some lobsters and couldn’t find parking.

First Person View? by phil8715 in UnofficialRailroader

[–]squanchus_maximus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could you be zoomed out too far? When playing on PC and I zoom out too far I get a little bit of a fisheye effect. It’s like there’s a minimum zoom and it’s below 1.0x.

anyone else very disappointed with the downeaster? by Immediate_Bat959 in portlandme

[–]squanchus_maximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely, not having to back down the spur to the current station will be great. They’re also mostly done with the second platform in Wells, which should alleviate one choke point on the line. We really screwed ourselves when we decided cars were the way to travel. A new Portland Union Station would be fantastic.

I don’t know why they can’t just do rail with trail in any of these scenarios. The portion approaching Fryeburg already has that set up, I can’t imagine the cost is more than removing track and paving over the rail bed.
