  • Might be workable if you settle on combining only 2 to 3 keys (small, medium, large) per hex.

    Or, learn metallurgy and material science to find some new polymer or alloy that would be strong enough.

    But honestly, it sounds like a really expensive endeavor that even if you made it work, isn’t practical enough to justify the cost.

    Maybe something like the universal socket wrench style could influence a design that’s workable as a multi-hex, and be made cheaply enough.



  • Security expenditures are just numbers on an Excel sheet, just like HR, and legal…it’s a business.

    You know what else is a big threat? Executives of cost-center departments not understanding how to articulate their needs in terms of profit, or profit loss.

    HR and legal departments are generally much better at explaining their concerns and needs in terms of profit, and not abstract concepts i.e. security.


  • It’s not surprising that Germany is lacking these supplies as their military procurement is… incompetent, or rather, it’s a complex web of insane bureaucracy, poor decision-making, and political interference, all under the understandably long shadow of two World Wars and the Third Reich.

    But the Leopard II is a hugely popular export model, so I’m a bit surprised that they can’t source parts for repair from NATO members and other allied countries that operate it. Many of which have their own licensed domestic production lines and supply chains to support them.


  • You realize that gig economy is the neoliberal slang for a poverty class work, but without the rights of workers, right?

    So you’re criticizing people who are forced by the system in which we live, to be ordered around by a fucking algorithm, and then take abuse from people who have enough money to NOT work in the gig economy, but no where near enough to actually own the servant class they get off on abusing.
