10 STR - Used to be 14 when I worked out.
12 DEX - Used to be 16, but I've kind of stiffened up with age.
10 CON - Average. Always has been.
12 INT - I wouldn't be able to get paid loads for the occasional perl hack if I wasn't. However, see below.
8 WIS - See below.
8 CHA - See below.

Int and wis might be the other way around. My experiences leads me to conclude that I'm reasonably smart, but still prone to stupid decisions. I'm not sure if I have wisdom that makes up for lack of int, or if lack of wisdom sabotaged my int. My will save is awful, though.

As for charisma, I am OK looking, but I severely lack social skills. I have what you'd call charisn'tma.

From and to which countries, if you don't mind me asking?

Teach him how to beegfs and he will never run out of storage space again.

I think that was the last CD I burned too, before I just started auxing in my phone with Spotify.

Based on my phone and car-stereo timelines, I guess that means my last burn was probably in 2009 at the latest.

I'm sure than man is happier with his marriage than melania ever was.

Unsurprisingly, it's not my cup of tea. And I don't even drink tea.

Why are they censoring that, though? I didn't notice any lyrics more controversial than what you'd hear elsewhere.

While this can certainly be interpreted as defending awful people (which I'm sure someone will, prepare for downvotes because many only read the first paragraph and do not understand nuance) with an awful message, I tend to agree with you.

Music is art, and like any artwork its quality does not depend on its message. I have to admit that the gay fish was never the kind of artist I enjoyed simply because the rap tracks I like are few and far between. (Wtf is drill rap?)

But to use a different angle: I've always been a metal head, and there's quite a lot of black metal that I enjoy. And as most sensible people understand, that doesn't make me a satanist, nor do I endorse burning of churches.

So the obvious question is then: Is Ye's newer stuff any good? Well, fuck if I know. I cannot name a single song Ye made. But he's not exactly making it more tempting to try and like his stuff. Anyway, fuck him and fuck the horse he rode in on.

EDIT: I did some research. I remember Golddigger. That's all.

Well, officers tend to prepare and fight based on the previous war. Because you can't really plan for something that you don't know exist yet.

But then there are those who manage to adapt anyway. They do reasonably OK. (The average officer).

And then there are those who manage to innovate on top of that. They tend to do pretty well. (Famous officers)

And then there are donkeys leading lions, such as Field Marshall Haigh who still insisted on cavalry charges against machine gun equipped trenches as part of the battle of the Somme.

Being unprepared for the future is understandable, but outright clinging to methods rendered obsolete in the previous century takes a special kind of out of touch chateau general.

Reasonable posts generally don't result in me deleting anything. Most posts have an interested audience even if something is technically against the rules, and as such it is very rare that I hit that delete button.

These WW1 reenactments are getting out of hand.

A huge tape archive in a mountain. It's pretty standard for geophysical data. I have some (encrypted) personal stuff on a few tapes there.

Fuck you. But I'd save you anyway.

Please edit your title in the form of a question. I almost removed this as spam. In fact, there's not a single question in your post, but I'm sure you're trying to ask one.

Thank you. Have a magnificent day.

Unlimited, other than wear and tear of course. Electricals and hydraulics go via a slip ring.

This was me in 2014. I didn't think of it as drowining, it felt more like a plow working against too much snow: Things kept piling up in front, and not enough was shoved away, to the point where things started coming over the plow and starting to bury me.

Took me five years, some help, and a lot of luck to get things under control and start turning things around. And in 2024 all expensive debts were paid off.

It takes effort, but it can get better.

I was having a blast playing through Combined Arms recently. It's a mod (or revamp) of OpenRA which provides a story an campaign that involves factions from all C&C and RA games, including the Scrin.

And best of all: Since it's based on OpenRA it's completely free. I highly recommend check8ng it out. It's well balanced, it involves a cool story, and while I'm mostly a tiberian dawn kind of guy, I'm sure it'll appeal to Red Alert fans as well.

Ever wanted to see how the mammoth tank fares against a tesla coil? Or a scrin carrier against a Yak? Well now you can try it.

He can pussy out all he wants - the damage is already done.

No. The joint isn't threaded, it's a slew ring. Think of it like a wide diameter ball bearing (rod bearing? Pin bearing? Not sure about the English word..) with some extra locking mechanisms to hold the top part in place.

What happened here is most likely a damaged or worn slew ring.

Source: I helped replace the busted slew ring on a ships crane once.

Wtf, Hugh Grant as a bad guy? I'm intrigued.
