I did claim Quickswap a few times now.
I also thought that I had been the first to claim Fury but apparently not. Guess I'll bow out of that one :/
And how many friggin people are going PhysWeapon+Magic? I figured it was horribly unoptimized and so there would be maybe one other person doing it.

Bingo. 18-wheeler, roughly 70 feet long and weighing a little under 20 tons empty.

Oh come on, if the eye-covering genes are recessive then they could slowly reveal more of the eye from one generation to the next

« on: February 10, 2017, 09:50:54 pm »I'm told there's a significant uproar in the Warhammer 40k community about the concept of female space marines. There is a group that vocally does not want them. Only men can be space marines, because MACHISMO.There are women in power armor carrying machine guns in one hand and chainswords in the other. They are called the Adeptus Sororitas, aka the Sisters of Battle. However, they are not "true" Space Marines as they lack the genetic and anatomic augmentation that "real" Space Marines get.
How is a woman wielding a heavy machine gun in one hand and a sword made of chainsaws in the other mowing down hordes of roaring orcs not flat-out awesome? In what way is this not literally the sexiest thing you can imagine as a hetero guy? Where did these men leave their penises? Do they remember how long ago it was that they lost them, and do they need help retracing their steps?
It's basically a lore issue: canonically only men can become Space Marines and even most of them would die during the process of becoming one. Folks who take the lore (too?) seriously will state categorically that female Space Marines are impossible and/or heretical. Others won't care as much.
It's worth noting that it is impossible for men to become Sisters of Battle, though for an entirely different lore reason: the SoB serve what is basically the Church, and the law forbids the Church from maintaining "men under arms". They get around that law by having female soldiers instead :V

I ran into one of my personal work-related nightmares today: being forced to back my truck out into a busy street.
I had been sent to a customer to pick up a load. It's a customer I've never been to - always a fun prospect since you can never really be sure what their procedures are, or where the truck entrance to the property is, or sometimes even which side of the street to pay attention to. I found the place easily enough - a recycling center - and pulled onto the property.
Almost immediately, the employees there informed me that I had made an error. Due to the way their property is designed, a truck like mine cannot simply pull into the driveway and make their way to the loading area. Oh no. Trucks must instead park on the street, check in, and then back into their lot all the way to the loading area. Screwing this up was bad enough, but their lot was so compact that it was impossible to turn around once I had entered. I would have to back out, re-adjust myself on the street outside, and then enter the lot properly (aka backwards).
The street fronting the customer was one of the nasty sort of low-grade commercial areas: moderate traffic in both directions but not a lot of room for maneuvering. To make matters worse, the gate onto the property was narrow, the fence blocked 90% of my rear-facing view, and in order to get out I would end up blocking more than half the street. A couple of the employees went out to try and control traffic, but my severely impacted view meant that I couldn't see them much of the time and therefore could not read their directions. It didn't help when some vehicles ignored them and tried to get around me anyway.
Eventually I managed to get out, at which point I quickly parked on the shoulder, let the stopped traffic go, and then took my first opportunity to properly back in. I only had to block half of the road this time.
It turned out okay, but those were some of the most nerve-wracking minutes of my career so far.

It's impossible as far as I'm aware. The only way to bring mons from GenVI or earlier is by using the PokeBank, and items can't be transferred through the Bank.
