man we are all gonna end up in Gain Ground

And just for the record, passenger in a warthog was my FAVORITE position in the truck. In Halo 1.

Sure, it’s less effective, but it’s way more accurate. Actually feels like riding shotgun, where you can’t see everything, and you sure as shit don’t have a stable firing platform. Super fun. In game.

The number of of times the passenger with the rocket launcher murked our own damn selves was… More than one. lol

Did you know, you can basically feed the warthog rocket fuel? Unfortunately, the speed boost usually kills the occupants

One of the best I still somehow remember vaguely:

Down to 1v1, happens while T is planting. He pulls knife, bangs it on stuff. CT pulls knife, runs in.

They dance in the zone, and T just dodges and gets close and dodges and gets close and milks time till the bomb won. So good.

Blood Gulch, obviously

We tried ghosts, but they’re so much harder to tip it didn’t really work. Though the matches where someone tried a ghost vs warthog were usually pretty good.

get murked. ghost back out to your old hog, get yeeted, lure the opponent into the trap in the cave, heave a well placed grenade, and steal his hog. Murder the fuck for his troubles

Also so good from back in the day it got turned into a forced standard on some servers: Down to 1V1 in CS? Knife fight about it

So fucking good. sometimes the bomb won. sometimes one guy was an asshole and shot the other guy

This sounds great

Jesus christ

Demolition Derby in Halo.

No shooting, you get in the Hog and wreck the other fucker out of their rig, then run them over. Frag grenades sometimes legal, depending on who you were playing with.

Played a 4 player variant where the passenger got a rocket launcher-no gunner

Why does everyone in the US card everyone over something ostensibly about age?

It’s never been about age.

I’ve seen a seventy year old man with a foot long white beard get carded and refused, while he was stone cold sober.

Do you think he can’t handle his liquor? He’s seventy. He knows what it does.

There’s a lot of bars/restaurants that do.

I have literally been refused service because the only ID I had is a passport, and those barcodes wouldn’t scan into their system.

It’s Papers, please, and it’s fucking bullshit

I’m 1000% against this age verification bullshit, not only because of the privacy and data reasons, but also because getting carded in a bar or at a store is also bullshit.

It Is Papers, please.

It’s Never a question of if you’re old enough, it’s a question of “Do I think you’re human enough?”

And more often than is reasonable, the answer is no, they don’t think you’re a person, who should be able to spend their money as they like.

“Voof”

Fucking bravo lol

I don’t even smoke, but fuck you.

I did, and you have no life experience if you think race doesn’t play into it

Where’s the video?

So, the articles are old, but chlorin e6 mixed with insulin and DMSO in saline gives a temporary boost to nightvision.

Sounds fucking awesome, and the ingredients all seem fairly easy to acquire. No commercial product, but why would there be?

I’m never using biometrics on any device. Fuck that

So I have a solar setup-older panels, like 15 years old. They can be 3/4 obscured by a building or whatever, and still make 85% of what they’re rated to.

Which is fucking awesome. Right now, they’re covered in so much dust I can see the ‘clean’ spots where the morning dew condensed on them, and they’re still kicking 20 amps, about 15 more than I actually need.

Daily cleaning? Way excessive. Monthly? Maybe, probably less. Not a whole lot going on in between rails.

I’d be way more worried about tweakers trying to steal the wiring

The cleanliness of the panels isn’t actually as big a deal as it’s made out to be. Like yeah, they can’t be completely obscured, but you’d be surprised at how fucking filthy they can be and still make juice. Or half-or more- covered with trees, or other shade.

Right now, my panels are covered in enough crap I really should hose them off, and they’re still kicking 20 amps. So ahhh… fuck it. Maybe it’ll rain and I won’t have to.

Same with cloudy days-sometimes I get more power on cloudy days because the panels don’t get at hot. Hell, some streetlights put out enough light to harvest energy from-but they’re largely getting replaced with LED’s. Sad face?

I expect with the type of traffic going on between rails, these will need vanishingly little maintenance. I hope it goes well
