Snargfargle Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 @Wolfswetpaws Don't tell me that's not exactly how the bots act in WOWS. I'm pretty certain that they are programmed to get hit by your torpedoes if they at all possibly can, even if they have to turn around and race halfway across the map in order to do so. It's to "train" you to be "more careful." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, style elements from the 1950's with weathering/aging applied to give it the post-apocalyptic appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never seemed to have the time to build all the projects I wanted to and now that I do have the time I don't seem to have the energy. The more she kept going, however, the more I realized that her kitchen set was starting to look like my granny's actual kitchen looked when I was a kid. I actually have a red Coca-Cola ice box out in the shop. Mine's in better shape than this one. I've got one of these in the basement. My great aunt still used one of these when I was a little kid in the late 50s. I remember my uncle going to the ice house to get ice for it. Yes, I still remember ice houses too. This isn't the one in my uncle's home town but it looks a lot like it. I've got some of those old phones and the switchboard that was in my grandpa's old phone company too. It's weird when you wake up one morning and realize that you are now older than your grandpa's were when they died. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird when you wake up one morning and realize that you are now older than your grandpa's were when they died. I used to work for a transportation company that had a small terminal in Indianapolis. Within walking distance was a bar/tavern named "The Icehouse". Apparently, it still exists. https://www.facebook.com/icehouseindianapolis/ Or not? https://www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/2017/10/20/ice-house-next-indianapolis-restaurant-closing/783100001/ Or still is? https://www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/2018/01/24/someone-stepping-up-save-indys-ice-house-bar/1061685001/ Edited April 1 by Wolfswetpaws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snargfargle Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 (edited) When "muscle memory" goes wrong. I've encountered this type of situation myself. I drove only manual-transmission vehicles for 30 years and when I finally bought an automatic I found myself reaching down and shifting it out of Drive while trying to change gears.

Snargfargle Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 In WOWS, it's best to continuously change your speed and heading in order to throw off the aim of the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited 10 hours ago by Snargfargle As someone who also has driven manual transmissions most of my life, there have been times when I stepped on the non-existent clutch-pedal of a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. It's really annoying, because often the brake pedal is wide enough to get stepped on in the process and the car is then braking (for no good reason) until I can properly react to the situation. Eventually, I drove automatics often enough to train myself to handle both types appropriately without the habits of one affecting the situation of the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snargfargle Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 This isn't so much a joke as it's interesting. We've all watched "claymation" movies. This video shows the movie and the creation at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-5wAUfy9aaQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snargfargle Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Quote M' father often told me, when I was just a lad, A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad, But now I've joined the navy, I'm on board a man-o-war, And now I find a sailor ain't a sailor any more! Chorus: Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast, If you see a sailing-ship it might be your last, Get your 'civvies ready for another run-ashore, A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor any more! The 'killick' of our mess, he says we've had it soft, It wasn't like this in his day, when he was up aloft, We like our bunks and sleeping-bags but what's a hammock for? Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor? They gave us an engine that first went up and down, Then with more technology the engine went around, We're good with steam and diesel but what's a mainyard for? A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel any more! They gave us an Aldiss Lamp, we can do it right, They gave us a radio, we signal day and night, We know our codes and ciphers but what's a 'sema' for? A 'bunting-tosser' doesn't toss the bunting any more! They gave us a radar set to pierce the fog and gloom, So now the lookout's sitting in a tiny darkened room, Loran does navigation the Sonar says how deep, The Jimmy's 3 sheets to the wind, the Skipper's fast asleep. Two cans of beer a day, that's your bleeding lot! But now we gets an extra two because they stopped The Tot, So, we'll put on our civvy-clothes and find a pub ashore, A sailor's still a sailor, just like he was before! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snargfargle Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Do you remember when you were young and had excess energy? I patched a truck tire this morning and it completely wore me out. I think the next time I run over a nail I'm paying the $25 to get it fixed at the tire shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also am glad that I know local tire-shops able to install new tires and/or fix punctured tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
