I blame lucas for mistyping mtb
-
@Luhmann But you can't MTB. You're in B*****m; you don't have any mountains.

@HardwareGeek
Where I am we average below sea level and all heights are artificial

@Luhmann Any natural depths?

@Gribnit
No, we made are own debt hole

@Gurth What about a heavy lump of metal to act as a thermal mass?
If the pump is clipped to the bike, that matters very little.

@mott555 You really want to torque left every time you fire?
-
@mott555 How do those guns work? Like... how COULD they work?
-
@blakeyrat The turret ring gear must at least be heavily overbuilt. and the motor. and the shells are made'a'rubber.
-
@Gribnit said in Internet of shit:
@mott555 You really want to torque left every time you fire?
So THAT's the reason why anti-clockwise turns were much tighter than clockwise ones!
-
@Gribnit Right but keep thinking. How do you load them?
-
@blakeyrat It's a breech-loader.
-
@blakeyrat Auto-loader somewhere, perhaps. Though that might just be shifting the problem.
-
@blakeyrat They're made-a-rubber, you just shoves 'em thru.
-
@Rhywden said in Internet of shit:

It looks like the breech ends at a metal plate about 8" before actually entering the turret. The turret which is too small for a loader to fit in anyway. (I guess maybe an auto-loader could do it?)
-
@blakeyrat TMAR maybe?

Magic.

The barrels also cast shadows behind the plate, so they protrude through it.
It’s still a ridiculous design. Never mind firing the guns, swinging the turret on firing, or anything — the real question is: how do you drive this thing across any kind of non-flat terrain without bellying out? Also: how do you keep it going in a straight line, given its rather short length:width ratio. Also also: most vertical steps will stop you dead in your tracks.

No meanings of "TMAR" in Google seem relevant to this conversation. You have failed to communicate.

Somewhere recently I saw a post for a drivable tank - available for 30,000. Can't remember if someone posted here, or if it was on Facebook... (supposedly, it was street legal)

@Zerosquare I looked those up once after seeing them in Germany. Apparently they're speed limits - military trucks and tanks can safely drive 120 km/h on that road when it's used for one-way traffic only and closed for non-military traffic.
-
Yup, that picture is from Germany.

To expedite the shoplifting.

Oh - that sign makes sense now!

@sockpuppet7 Ah that is a weakness isn't it. I mean you could root the phone and write software do it looks for a specific word or something but... adds a lot of compexity to the plan compared to just wiring up the detonator to the ringer.
-
@sockpuppet7 Why on a vest bomb.

Just in case she would change her mind. The person detonating it is not the one wearing it

Don't worry, it will come.

$15 burner phone from 7-11. Hook your bomb up to the ringer.
God dammit @sockpuppet7, that's from 2011.
Also, you forgot to add the classic joke "In Soviet Russia, phone carrier bombs you".

Not speed but weight limits. Tanks don’t do 120 km/h (well, not unless you take the governors off and don’t care about engine and transmission life, anyway). These signs can be found at pretty much all bridges in (West?) Germany and show the maximum allowed MLC of vehicles to cross the bridge at a time.

Beat me to it, I was just about to say something ^^. A tank going 120 km/h would be fun (in the Dwarf Fortress sense) right up until the first bend XD

Yes, the German Wiki entry clearly states it's only in former West German states. The Two Plus Four Agreement apparently didn't allow to put up these signs in former East German states until 1995 (no idea why) and to this day they still don't.

True, I phrased that badly. I actually meant "up to and including" the first bend ;)
-
I stand corrected.
-
@PleegWat
That's the problem with modern offices. No longer are they content to let you sit corrected, they force theirpoliticallyergonomically correct standing desks on you.
-
@izzion Ah, no, I'm spared that. This office contains one desk that can be configured as standing desk, because its usual occupant asked for it. But that's not my desk.
-
@PleegWat Our desks are all adjustable from sitting to standing at the push of a button. Some usually stand, but most usually sit; some (including me) occasionally stand. I stand if I'm sleepy and need to move around a bit to avoid falling asleep in my chair (or to make it less visible that I'm browsing TDWTF on my phone — wait, did I say that?).
