Breaker simply go brrrrr. I think I've been sliding more towards the spray and pray, though, since it eats light units and I'm already carrying an autocannon most games.

Very goofy-looking fella.

This is mostly just a hobbyist toy right? What are the specific use-cases?

Unfortunately it wasn't freefall. If you watch the video its over 5 seconds from when the bridge collapses till they're in the water.

I've heard it was construction workers filling pot holes.

The bridge at crest is around 185 ft off the water, and footage shows the collapse took about 6 seconds where the cars were.

Imagine doing a mind numbing job in the dead of night and then all of a sudden the floor starts dipping below you. The street lights go out a second or two later, and not long after you're falling for close to 2 seconds. Then either crashing hard into the concrete below you that just parted the water, having a flood of water hit you shortly after. or just jetting directly into freezing cold water.

How the fuck did this happen?

Yeah, it won't replenish a backpack you're not wearing.

You drop your main backpack, pick up the supply pack, and you hit 5. That pulls from your supply pack. Then you just pick your main backpack back up.

This kind of loses sight of the whole part of why these artefacts are actually important: their situ. In-situ (in the original location it was found in the position and orientation it was in when found) can tell us everything from its purpose, the culture of origin, etc. But outside of situ many of these artefacts become useless.

Yes, these objects being in unstable countries can mean much risk to those objects. This instability is often directly caused by the policies of the more politically powerful countries, though. For instance, the Afghanistan example you give is arguably directly due to Ally foreign policy destabilizing the region for our own self interest.

Rather than accepting the current political climate's default stance of leaving the middle east a wartorn region in the world - and having to choose between either leaving artefacts to potentially be destroyed or destroying the situ of the artefacts and robbing the native descendants of their ancestral objects - we should probably instead push for foreign policy which lifts unstable regions into developed States where they are better able to preserve their heritage.

A buddy of mine realized a fun thing. If you, say, want to main autocannon, recoilless, or have any of the assistant backpacks, equipping the resupply pack stratagem is still good as a secondary resupply.

You pick it up, resupply yourself, maybe a few teammates, then just drop it for your main BP and move on.

It's kinda obvious but it was huge for us when we connected the dots.

This is the is the fucking reason I main stalwert on suicide difficulty. The difference between not having an LMG and having an LMG prioritizing hunters is night and day.

Stalwert on 700 rpm, at least on autocannon, and at least two expendable antitanks is how my crew rolls on terminid missions.

Turkey at distance is the proper measure here. That's a Turkey at I'd reckon 10 football fields.

Colleges explicitly advertise themselves as means of getting training for specialized job markets. They directly partner with companies to provide internships. A college degree is required on the majority of job openings in STEM, regardless of the opening.

This was not a distortion of colleges - it was a full societal push to make colleges more useful to the general public in the 1940s, which directly lead to an explosion in the number of colleges, mostly in the form of community colleges. Since then, the major purpose of colleges has been vocational training first and foremost.
