Cleveland is beast mode.  Prolly one of the best Cruisers in the game. Should prolly be T7.  They scare me when I'm in my Atlanta.

I really want an Atlanta, is it worth the monies?

So I just got my first level six, the Cleveland. It's pretty! 

I want to fight a battle in really heavy weather! It would be cool if you could take damage by letting a wave roll you over!

I used to live in that town!   It was probably a bunch of punk kids fucking around. 

He's kind of a oddball cat. He likes to sit on the counter in the bathroom while I shower so he can rub on me and get all wet as I dry off. He also likes to watch water drain out of the tub. He is fascinated with the sink.  He isn't very food oriented, but the other cat, and dog are, and he insists on sampling the dogs food, and always makes the other cat go to another bowl. He loves looking at the world, but is terrified of going outside and new people, strange noises, sirens, etc. 

And I think the bastard is a wehraboo, cause he only knocks American die cast tanks off shelves. 

I wonder if that cat would like my case or not. It's got moderately warm exhausted out the top, but it is active exhaust and I don't know if cats like breezes.

 

Also, do you have good filtering on all your intakes and a positive pressure setup?

LOL nope, the intakes are on the front, I think. I've been popping it all apart and cleaning it as needed. 

I think the cat likes the warm air blown on him. He grooms off all his belly hair. The cat is weird. I did all kinds of shit to keep him off, including putting thumbtacks through cardboard and taping that up there. Who knew how tough cats feet were?

My father, who grew up in Durban, has vivid memories of lying in bed at night and waiting for the palpable thud as his room's resident baboon spider dropped from its hiding place on the roof, landed on his bed and then began its wanders for the night.

 

That’s horrifying, and almost makes me feel bad for posting this. 

This little bugger was underwater for who knows how long... 

This is how much my cat respects my system... 

It's sad there are no F-14s on there. 

Spiders used to really bother me, but not so much anymore, since I have to deal with them all the time now. You know, working outdoors and all. Anyway, today, I kept having something hanging in my face, there was something stuck to the bill of my hat.  I took it off and it was a little spider, four years ago I would have screamed like a little girl and thrown the hat, this morning, I looked at the little guy then blew him off my hat into some bushes. 

I only kill them if they surprise/scare me and I do it without thinking. 

I've even seen the alive, on a pool wall, if you net them out they'll run off.  They are big suckers too. 

Here's one, they get blown out of trees. This one was about four and a half inches across. 

Are they thinking of adding any officers other than the captain? You could have an XO, and engineering officer, CAG, gunnery officer etc.

Are there any good mod packs?

It would also kinda cool to give the planes for the carriers exp, and make it so they only gain it if they live.

Yeah, I gota dig up a  mic and headphones, I havn't had it hooked up since PBKAC kicked me. 

Just got my first T5, the New York. 

I have a Sims too, but premiums don't count heh. 

We don't get to keep any of this progress in open beta?

I like reading about how to do something, I'm like old and shit. 

I've only gotten to T4 on he carrier line for the US, everything else is T3, today is the first day I've played more than like two games in a row heh.

I need an FAQ on how to use a Carrier, like how to deploy the planes and shit. 

Ok, played enough today to decide I like the game a lot. 

Trying to figure out how to buy a ship now without a trained commander. 

He (and others I've encounteed) never got that the sole reason I was able to help them as much as I did, was because I had a vehicle that was capable of carrying those supplies and tools, and doing it in an efficient and comfortable manner.

 

I had one person bolt for the shrubs when I stopped to help, and they saw I was wearing my 1911. I hollered out "You might want some of this water if you're intent on communing with the rattlesnakes"!

 

They came back after a bit, but you could tell they were terrified.  That one was amusing as they'd taken the jack and lug wrench out of their vehicle to "improve their mileage".

You know how many adult males can't change a tire on their own, even with instructions? It's just sad. 

This wouldn't work in places outside large & dense cities. Then, in those cities you have to compete with uber taxis and more general mass transit making it harder for this to work. 

 

As y'all have shown, a large portion of America's population also has an affinity for the automobile. I like driving as a way to relax, many of my friends customize cars and have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours toiling away under the hood. There may be a change in the way we think of cars within the next couple decades, but this won't be a quick transition for us to give up the wheel. 

The volume of stuff I'll carry, it'd take more time to load the "Google-mobile" than it'd take to get to the destination..

 

Then there is the location of the destination.  Google is working under the assumption that people all live and travel to where there is pavement. 

 

If one travels in the southwest, you'll find that there is by far, more unpaved roads than paved once you get out of the few metro areas. I'm doubting Google is going to deliver a car to a remote address near Ash Fork Arizona, for a brisk jaunt to Wikieup, or Four Corners.

Yep, I drive truck for work all the time, several kinds. We haul big stuff, and I have a full truck load of stuff just to do my day to day job. 

I also drive on roads Google maps doesn’t know about because they are behind locked gates in private communities.

Plus the need for tractor trailers to haul goods isn’t going away.

I’m sure I don’t want to be in a rent a bubble on wheels when they don’t speed and have to share the road with truckers and other professionals who drive a lot. 

For some background see this article

Basically google wants to take the human out of cars, make them on demand, and not personally owned. So you, buy a Google car contract, and you can  summon one any time you want using your phone, it takes you where you want to go, you get out and it goes on to the next contract holder, or it will pick up other people as you go depending on your destination.

They plan on producing the cars, to keep the auto industry out of it, since their vision kills them all off anyway.

I think this is a horrible idea, though I wouldn’t mind owning a car that had a driverless option, I would never want to a rent a bubble, that I would have to share.

Sharing shit with random people sucks, random people suck,  your google car is going to arrive with a Stanly steamer on the seat and note saying ‘hahhhaha fucker1!@@!!’

I hate public transit; I can barely stand a cab. I love the freedom of having my own space and choices in a car, even it means I sit in traffic. I also don’t think they understand how much American culture revolves around cars.

Even if your car is just a means to get from point A to B, you must appreciate having your own air conditioned space, that’s as clean as you left it, and plays the music you want, and doesn’t try rob you, or worse, talk to you.

Also, rich people like cars, they buy all kinds of outrageous cars, I see them all the time, are these people, the type of person who drives a Ferrari, or on rainy days the top of the line Range Rover, expected to trade in their status symbol/toy in for a mobile economy bubble, the peasants use?  And Google wont be just taking on what’s left of Detroit, they will be taking on the whole auto industry who has a vested interested in keeping them much closer to how they are now with self-driving being an option on normal car.

Thanks, you cannot know it will work 100% until a couple of people give it a read, and normally  you find out when they drop a bomb on you in Amazon.  

Yeah, the shit people say in Amazon reviews blows my mind, in particular, when they give something a bad rating for a delivery problem or Amazon problem. 

The Warhawk actually jumped into the fray. About time really.

I kinda doubt it will stop the mad plumber. 

Thanks.  If you have a Kindle look at it and tell is how it pages.  Kindles are tricky - they sometimes do goofy things with the ePub format and the different models are not always in sync about how they perform.

Looks fine on the kindle reader on my phone... I'll have to plug in and charge the real kindle, but I'll let you know. 

I just bought a copy, I'm going know some cool stuff about French bayonets now, sweet.

Annd cheeps is still at it.

 

I reported his dumb ass, here's the body of it-

 

"Can you ban this moron yet?

Read the thread. He's posted trash and been called on it, insulted posters, and generally been a mewling, fetid, meatslapping slackwit the whole time.

Barring that you can issue me another three day RO, because my response to his idiocy will likely earn me another."

 

 

Reaching the point where I may very well, be thoroughly done with that forum.

 

That feckless lickspittle can get away with posting utter nonsense, but god (mod) help you if you get tired of his rampant, windowlicking retardation.

I think a lot of us are starting to feel that way about the WOT forums, luckily we have this place.
