So part of the crankshaft pulley on my brother's jeep just fell off in the parking lot as we were getting ready to drive it to the auto shop. The good news is that it's only like 6 blocks or so so towing shouldn't be that bad (since you obviously don't want to run it without that part). The bad news is both of our AAA cards expired a couple weeks back and we haven't been to my parent's house to pick up the new ones yet. :-\

The turreted lasers can also strike down small aircraft like drones, though there's better ways to do that sort of thing. The lasers don't have that much range, at least not in comparison to other ship mounted weapons.

Didn't know Railguns were operational enough to be mounted on ships already. Honestly, I never saw that much of an advantage to using railguns. I mean sure, you got this super heavy cannon thing that can fire large projectiles at incrible speed over enormous range, but you need to add an entire dedicated electric network to the ship to even fire the damn things, AFAIK, altough I guess a ship that already has lasers prob already has a pretty impressive system in place to feed tons of power into the weapons.

The biggest advantage is that railgun ammo is inert. Conventional missile or gun armed ships are floating boxes of explodium if they take a solid hit in a magazine (and modern VLS ships are something like %50 magazine) or fail to control a fire while railgun ammo is merely ruined. The second biggest advantage of inert ammo is that your shots can't be shot down by lasers or autocannon (because there's no explosive in the round to detonate, and you're not going put enough energy into it to deflect it before it hits) and are extremely hard to hit with anything that could stop them (due to sheer speed). The third advantage is that a railgun shot (once they're in mass production) will fly much further than conventional artillery while still being far cheaper than a missile, giving a much more practical long-range precision bombardment option.

One of the big issues, however, is the wear and tear on the rails. They currently only last a couple of shots before you need to start replacing them.

Just had a Yoink-Eggs moment.

One of my roomates used 'your' instead of "you're".

I told him he was fine to drop the apostrophe but never the 'e'.
He replied that "'your' is a widely known abbreviation for 'you're', and I'm perfectly happy with it'.

That's it. I have to move out.

Do they... only show programmes about the US military? ???
Otherwise that's pretty silly.

That would have been understandable 10-15 years ago. Still stupid, but understandable.

I was quite surprised.

Sushi place we're looking into has "egg cakes".  They literally folded an omelette over and over until it was sushi-shaped.  Are their eggs as shitty as their iron?

We're looking into it because our Vampire the Masquerade characters live in the condo nearby.  We live like 1-2 hours away...  We're planning a field trip.  (Charlotte, NC)

The headquarters of the Prince is the Bank of America building.  In our game he's Invictus, but we think in real life it's probably a Daeva:

Also the sushi place has amazingly low prices for being downtown.  My character eats there often (wasting vitae to digest).
