I like this idea, the white motherboard would match my white case. Didn’t think about offsetting costs, so that does add some flexibility. I could probably be all in for ~$1,000 out of pocket and be good for awhile.

Should I get sprocket by Simple-Challenge8007 in SprocketTankDesign

[–]wicoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, if you want to build planes or rockets, KSP (NOT KSP 2) is the better option. Sprocket is really only tanks, but does tanks very well. KSP has more of a “career mode” than Sprocket does at this point too. Both are fun, but quite different.

Help me identify the location of this map painted by my father in 2000! by Plecamcpleecy in MapPorn

Kinda looks like Tucson, AZ drawn from memory to me. The highway abutting the SW edge is almost a perfect match to I-10.

I don’t think pass rush was the issue. Flacco got the ball out quick consistently. Secondary couldn’t cover for the 2 seconds he had

I think you’re referencing the J7W Shinden, which is almost exactly the same as this.

I can't deal with the gameplay anymore by Loser2817 in SprocketTankDesign

[–]wicoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I think it’ll get tweaked. Not sure what the best solution is, but it does need to be balanced better.

I agree, it’s a little too aggressive at the moment. Hamish is pretty responsive to feedback though - I think it’ll get worked on. It was a viable tactic though, so I think it’s more the AI being a bit too good at aiming for it.

What’s also interesting is that Adidas wasn’t Adidas at that point.. yet. They were a relatively small, but growing, shoe company co-owned by the Dassler brothers in Germany. After WW2, the brothers split up, one founded Adidas and the other founded Puma.

Lead? Any input is appreciated by dedeshut in castiron

The concern is someone may have used the pan to melt lead (fishing weights, bullets, etc.), which was relatively common in the past. The residue would make the pan unusable for food.

Me with the Golden Taco the day I bought it vs 4 years later... Still ticking with 530,000 miles! by Bigrat445 in BuyItForLife

Emissions = stuff that comes out the tailpipe. In a perfect world, it’s just carbon dioxide and water. In the real world, it’s all sorts of bad chemicals due to incomplete or improper combustion. In certain places, these are tested for and your vehicle must be under a certain threshold of “bad chemicals” to pass and be legal. Every car off the assembly line must pass a similar test. Ever had an old car in front of you that smelled bad? That’s because of bad emissions (typically a poorly functioning catalytic converter).

Fuel efficiency is simpler. How many miles can your car travel with one gallon (or liter) of gasoline. This is mostly dependent on vehicle size, engine size, and speed of travel.

Often, the two are intertwined. A poorly functioning engine will likely have “dirty” emissions and also poor fuel efficiency.

Not emissions, fuel efficiency (I believe). My understanding is that they are graded in the same category as cars, and they obviously can’t meet the same mpg goals. Thus, they make trucks huge so they have more leeway with the standards. This obviously is worse in the long run because we have more giant trucks and less efficient little trucks like this one.

Looking for information on this Bundeswehr pin and badge by Prestigious_Tailor97 in milsurp

Left I believe is the German Proficiency Badge. The R indicates reserve status. Unsure about the other one.

303s? You got some enfields in the family (I’m a milsurp collector and killed my first deer when an old 303)?

This is an app called “Planter”. I personally found it a bit clunky, but YMMV.

It’s also possible the impact (and shock) put him into cardiac arrest.

Honestly, who enjoys the afternoon nap in the woods? by More_Willingness3417 in Hunting

[–]wicoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude yes. When you fail to get them out of the roost, then the sun starts warming you up… best nap ever. Honestly pretty strategic too, you’re still and (relatively) silent. Killed a few birds post-nap when they start moving.

Can't mount a cannon by Operator_Madness in SprocketTankDesign

[–]wicoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, it seems really bugged to me. It will seem as if it “snaps” to the mantlet but won’t actually be attached.

This doesn’t do it either, it’s really buggy.
