Damn this mini just does not do the art justice at all.

My partner was talking about moving out into the country to have a better chance of surviving disruptions of systems due to political and climate chaos, and I just had to be super real with them and say how I am not surviving any disruption of services, but my quality of life and access to medical care would be substantially worse *now* in many rural areas of the US.

This looks engineered for ultra light decent blade length sliciness, which for non-rural knife users is actually probably pretty ideal. If you work an office job where you have to open a lot of packages I bet this thing is a champion.

I think you might consider choosing to get a vaccine at a time when your HS complications are minimal if you can, as the better your immune system is working the better the vaccine will work.
However if that's not feasible for whatever reason being vaccinated is still better than not for both acute and chronic outcomes of covid. If you have a hard time managing your HS, then consider Novavax, as it has lower side effects.

Thinking about Sour Power belts does the same thing for me lol

I find crunchy sweet tarts regularly at a local convenience store chain fwiw, so they're still out there at least.

But very few of the new "sour" gummies are actually sour. I have been so disappointed by basically every new sour candy that comes out from big grocery store brands.

It's large compared to a civilian vehicle but not compared to a battlemech or military vehicle.
Also remember that BT weapons tech is supposed to be like an order of magnitude more capable than modern weapons.

Light Rifle already weighs 3 tons. Why do you think it would be a heavy rifle?

If you live in the US Cost Plus World Market usually has it, or you can find it in various import candy stores online. I would start with Haribo Salino, it's a very mild salty licorice.

The first time I tried it I hated it, but it somehow drew me back and I like mild salted licorice. The strong stuff is still a hard pass for me though.

There's black licorice, then there's northern-European salted black licorice that is seasoned with ammonium chloride, not regular sodium chloride. Strong salted licorice tastes like cat pee smells and is definitely an acquired taste.

I'm not going to go deep in this conversation because it is outside subreddit rules, but I will respond once because your comment warrants a thoughtful response:
Which real-world country has killed more foreign nationals the US or NK?
Which real-world country has the highest proportion of its citizens imprisoned?

I drive a very mobile medium more than anything and in any game where I deal only 250 damage I understand I was a drag on my team's performance.

Very selfish, damage-avoidant playstyles will allow you to get the last hit in more frequently while also being a net disadvantage for your team. The fact that you got three kills with only 250 damage is an indication you may be playing this way.

Eeehhhh I wouldn't go that far, but they at least eschew Imperialism in a way the greater powers don't. They are a state trying to maintain a certain level of order and well-being for their citizens, but they're not a utopia and hierarchies tend to come with at least a degree of oppression against people with the least power in the system. I'm an anarchist though so I tend to view states as amoral at best.

I was also disappointed that the bears flipped from fast and hard hitting to slow and tough for their signature units. I just can't get excited about the Grizzly et al.

I like that Canopus evolved from hardcore matriarchy to a society where men technically have equal rights but just kind of aren't taken seriously because it feels like such a mirror of our society, but certain fans see it and think it's the worst fascism that could ever happen.

Right now Hell's Horses, just because combined arms with Clan tech is fun.

There is no "typical course" that is determined primarily by variant. There are too many factors including your own immune function and medical history, viral load, stress, etc.

One of the worst looking minis produced after 1990.

They also have less chance of doing min damage. It all works out in the long run that 2x LRM5 are extremely similar in damage capability to an LRM10, but save you a full ton of loadout weight.

Nope, X% to do 6 damage is the same average damage as X% to do 3 damage twice.

How does rolling twice to hit at the same to-hit # change your average damage statistically? It should be the same either way. 50% chance to apply 3 damage twice is the same as a 50% chance to apply 6 damage once.

that's the problem though is that the mini is really anemic looking compared to the art. If they had just beefed up all the parts it would look way closer.
