My hot take on Christianity is that a lot of Christian dogma (at least here in the states) is incompatible with the Bible's teachings.

Oh yeah 100%. My favorite little tidbit to share regarding this point is about the Third Commandment, or "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain". Now, I can't speak for every Christian raised in Fundamentalist America (especially in Georgia), but when I grew up, I was taught that means "don't say things like 'Oh my God' or 'God dammit'". Which is strange, because that's not what that commandment means. That commandment means "don't use the name of God to push your own personal agendas or bigotries".

Gee, I wonder why the evangelicals taught me that one wrong.

My local battletech group is doing a random custom mech free for all, and in order to make things spicy, I've opened up the techmanual to pike around the guts of the BV formula to make something as dumb as possible. I've got a hard 2100 bv limit and I think I managed to make something

Behold! Coming in at exactly 2100 BV, the Wallfacer! You know how expensive ERPPCs can be BV-wise? Well, what if you mounted one backwards to discount all your other torso mounted guns? Oh, it also adds discounts a second time 'round because it's a huge fuckin heat hog and it means *technically* if it were to fire it and every other weapon while jumping it'd have problems, but because it's going the wrong direction it probably won't.

As for the game plan, the armor gives it away- the Wallfacer is a pair of bad hellbringers stapled together. Going forward it has a bunch of missiles and accurate efficient lasers to sandblast the enemy appart, going backward it has a big, long range 'fuck you' gun to snipe with. Advance to a firing position ass-first, dome the enemy with the particle cannon a couple of times, and then flip around to finish with the rest of the guns. Hopefully splitting damage between the front and rear arcs will make up a bit for the thin rear armor but it does mean you can get double tapped by your own main gun with that isXLFE.

I don't expect this to perform well oerse but if someone pulls it it'll be funny

Lockheed CL-760 LARA (Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft) from the early 1960s. It's rugged 'all-terrain' landing gear retracted into large pods on the side that also housed 7.62 mm machine guns. The project lost to the OV-10 Bronco.

Confederate General Joseph Wheeler volunteered to fight in the Spanish-American War, and received appointment to Major General by President William McKinley. The former rebel, in his sixties and thirty years since last commanding troops, was now second-in-command of Fifth Army Corps. Under his command was fought the first major engagement of the war, the Battle of Las Guasimas…

… during which Wheeler, in a moment of excitement, yelled out “Let’s go, boys! We’ve got the damn Yankees on the run again!”

wrong… wrong war, joe

I am forced to watch a bad history documentary show about "Nazi Secrets" and they even entertain "Die Glocke", the bell-shaped antigravity machine - and I am ready to just barf.

To think I'm less than half done with the non armor elements of the army... thank goodness I'm just 3d printing everything

I do appreciate the base to model ratio FOW infantry offers, so much modeling opportunity for fun little dioramas
