Trucks for the transportation of goods are okay, I guess…

Trucks for the transportation of overinflated egos, on the other hand, are complete wastes of workmanship and resources.

Ships, trains and planes are all cool.

Trucks though…

I’ve heard of tragedeigh names before, but this takes the cake.

“I did not expect the leopards to eat my face!” Said the woman who voted for The Leopards Eating Faces Party

I’ve blocked one page that’s posting mostly in Russian, one page that’s posting mostly in Croatian, and beyond that a number of overrepresented, locally US centric ones. About stuff like the NFL or the Bay Area.

That would mean that instead of an engine, you’re lugging around a battery pack, which is just as heavy while giving you a fraction of the range of an engine. Not to forget that battery cells have only a finite lifespan.

Meanwhile, OHLE gives you infinite range and room for major weight savings. Plus you can keep running the same power system for decades.

WAR! HOO!
What is it good for?! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MAKING FRIES TASTY!

Tbh, I prefer Special, which is just the mayo, onions and curry sauce or ketchup.

Shoarma or döner kebab, cheese, garlic sauce, a bit of sriracha or sambal, and some greens.

Or if I’m feeling simple, mayo and a bit of mustard.

Döner poutine, yes, though shoarma is common as well. But yeah, it’s great.

Kapsalon is potato nachos confirmed.

Just for regular boating purposes.

I’m pretty sure the fanart of that exists somewhere. Rules 34 and 35, y’know.

Because you made a seemingly insightful response to what I’m pretty sure is sketch comedy.

… Are you sure I am the one you wanted to make this response to?

Hell if I know, but it came from The Hole^TM

On another, somewhat unrelated note, I recall during the Brexit days that there was some British punk who hoped to make a point by burning an EU flag on video, but since the EU has rules on the flammability of fabrics, such as the ones used in flags, the flag wouldn’t catch fire.

I suspect that any modern force ambushed in a jungle, or any type of complex, unfamiliar terrain, by primitive fighters who know the place like the back of their hands will suffer.

There are stories of UK soldiers in the sixties being ambushed by a man with a scimitar, and it took them a while and several fairly serious injuries before they could line up a shot with their FALs.
Not to forget the Vietnam war which, despite the advanced force being a coalition led by the US, and said coalition resorting to torching the jungle and other war crimes, still ended being up a North Vietnamese victory.

The Endor force, while not outgunned, was maybe outnumbered and definitely outwitted.

The explanation for Stormtroopers’ shoddy marksmanship on screen in A New Hope is because Vader wanted Leia & company to escape, but by the skin of their teeth, so that they would basically drop their guard the instant The Falcon took off from the Death Star and not realise there was a tracker bug installed. If Vader just let them fly off unopposed, that would probably be hella sus, and they’d probably pull over at the first asteroid to find and chuck said tracker bug. So the Stormtroopers were specifically instructed to shoot to thrill, not to kill.

When faced with opposition without plot armour and reasons to keep them alive, Stormtroopers are fucking brutal, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back - Hoth was somewhere between a decisive Imperial victory and an Imperial Curb Stomp

Y’know, this is in this weird spot where it’s right between canon and as seen (which, by the way, can be explained even with canonical things). If it was truly as seen, the shots would have gone way wide. If it was truly canon, the Reps would be scrambling for a new candidate now.
