Lets say it were the 1600s and the U.S. is expanding westward into the relative unknown. There’s clearly risk and danger and uncertainty.

Or let’s say it’s a hypothetical future sci fi scenario and mankind is expanding to other plants with similar challenges (eg like the Expanse tv mini series expansion through the Rings).

In either of the above, or similar, and without the benefit of historical foresight, if you were somehow the ultimate controlling authority in the current government of those who would be pioneers, to what extent would you (individually as a liberal, but not necessarily speaking for all liberals) impose or not impose rules, constraints or similar on would be pione

What’s the liberal preferred solution for retirement?

What I mean by that is - once someone is past a certain age and voluntarily wants to stop working, how would we assist them with supporting themselves?

I’m not asking as much about the age (which I know people have different opinions about) but rather the method for these folks to have income to support themselves. But if necessary, let’s say for argument if a person wants to retire at 65.

Is the current social security system, contributing to gov from paycheck during working years, then receiving income after retirement the preferred method? But maybe improved in some way? If so how?

Or should folks also be taught and enc

I understand how stealth works for sight and detection range.

And I understand how:

  1. Primaries can be heard 60m away even if they don’t otherwise see you

  2. Secondaries can be heard 35m away even if they don’t otherwise see you

  3. Shots hitting near an enemy basically causes them to investigate your last position

  4. Shooting one enemy can trigger another enemy thats nearby

But how are the new Suppressed weapons different from the old non Suppressed weapons?

As far as I know, it only changes just #1 and #2 above right. That they can’t hear the you shoot at the point of origin (if they don’t otherwise see you). But it doesn’t change #3 and #4?

Is that right? Or are the

Does everyone in base camp and in the same lobby share the same time of day?

If yes, how does Resting and changing time at base camp work with everyone else there? If no, how do scheduled events like Diva work?

Does fast travel in the field advance time for the individual?

Thanks for the clarification.

New to Vets. Not new to Darktide.

Apart from coherency and hitting things in melee like everyone else, are there any other ways that Vets can consistently and significantly regain toughness?

Thanks for the insights.

So I was thinking the other day, why hasn’t the current admin replaced the acting ATF director and why hasn’t the current admin just rescinded the ATF regulations on SBRs, FRTs, etc.? Because it’s in their power to do so right now with next to no way to stop such.

But it would probably also nix the current lawsuits right? And we want the lawsuits to get to SCOTUS so that they can be struck down and used for precedent right? And in that spirit we also want a legacy director to be in the hot seat no?

Or am I overthinking this? Thoughts?

This is more of an opinion but to which I welcome feedback.

Quick statement on qualification first since it always seems to come up. I was never mil. I am a 10+ year serious civilian competitor who also teaches such, and also participates weekly in force on force with my buddies, a lot of who are former mil, at our private range / facility on my farm.

So anyway, the opinion I wanted to present, since the question / topic has come up a lot more recently, is that USPSA instills good shooting fundamentals but it is far from what you’d actually do in CQB in terms of tactics.

More specifically, good shooting fundamentals that USPSA instills include:

  • Drawing and getting sights on targets

Categorically, aid could mean:

  1. Money and other resources sufficient to support the defense of Ukraine’s borders per 2014 (after Russia annexed Donbas and Crimea)
  2. Money and other resources sufficient to retake Donbas and Crimea that were previously annexed by Russia
  3. Money and other resources sufficient to attack Russia directly to destroy enough infrastructure to dissuade Russia from continuing the war
  4. Money and other resources as requested by Ukraine without trying to differentiate between 1,2,3 above

Because the 4 categories above are actually somewhat different in terms of money / resources required, time required and feasibility.

So what I mean by shunning is - refusing any interaction those that supported the opposition party. Like - “we should never try to accommodate moderates ever again” or “Im cutting out from my life anyone that voted Republican”.

What I mean by shaming is - issuing statements in a way that’s meant to make those that support the opposition feel inadequate or inferior. Like - “republicans are weird” or “republicans are ignorant and uneducated”.

Do you think either of the above approaches, actually help to achieve political goals? Like getting more votes, or getting a policy passed or even just changing perception about a subject?

Thanks for the opinions.

For the sake of this question let’s assume all the terrain is Heavy and nobody is Concealed and both models are far apart from each other.

If I understand correctly:

  1. If your model is within 1” of intervening Heavy terrain and that Heavy terrain causes your model to be only partially seen by your opponent it gets Cover but is not Obscured
  2. If your model is not within 1” of intervening Heavy terrain but there is intervening Heavy terrain that causes your model to be only partially seen by your opponent then it gets Obscured but not Cover
  3. If your model is within 1” of intervening Heavy terrain but there’s also another set of intervening Heavy terrain that isn’t within 1” and both o

Is there still a schism in the direction that the Democratic Party should take next?

Whether to better re-accommodate those who voted for Trump in this election? Or whether to move more left and embrace more progressive policies?

Or would it actually be possible to do both?

I assume it’s too early to definitively say and it’s going to take some time to parse the data and whatnot. But I am curious about your opinion now on the appropriate direction and what you think the party will do.

Thanks for the opinions.

So with the cards that came with Hivestorm:

  • Kill is always in effect
  • Each player secretly picks one Tac Op
  • And D6 is rolled for one Crit Op to apply to both players

And players can score VP for any of the 3 Ops above to a max of 6 per turn?

But at the end of the game one of the Ops has its points doubled?

Thanks.

Anyone else have the issue where the game runs fine, even in extremely busy areas, then randomly - like for 2 minutes out of say every 20 minutes - the game will stutter extremely badly, audio will break up and fps drops to single digit?

This includes when it’s just me alone on the Battle Barge. It will be all smooth, then randomly as I’m walking from the Armory to Launch Bay it will stutter badly for a few minutes. Then go back to normal.

I’ve checked CPU usage is low. Latency is low. And there doesn’t seem to be any new devices connecting per EAC issue.

If I alt-tab out of the game when this happens, I can still hear the audio stuttering in game but the rest of windows works fine.
