I like going with the rumor Ben was more natural and appealing on camera than Sandi. Leading to Ben and his stapler being moved to the basement. Of course there was the whole 100th episode of ATV, changing in format, sepsis hospital stay during the summer--so hard to know what issue or issues lead to the departure from the spotlight. Occam's razor principle--combination health and ATV refactoring.

But CIG's razor says that the most stupid explanation is probably the right one. So it's most likely that Ben has been removed from ATV because people liked him more than Sandi.

Sniper rifle looks ok to me.

Most magazine fed rifles have the magazine under the receiver, so that the bullets move up, and cartridges are ejected to the side. Even single shot rifles tend to have the bolt and ejector on the same side.

So you design a space sniper rifle that uses an energy pod. Why would have have said pod pop up and/or be loaded by the firer's right ear above the cheek weld?

Why's the bipod leaning forward? All the recoil from the energy?

It's the same as that missile launching system; nobody who ever designed machinery designed a system that requires eight separate actions to load missiles. They need to go check out loaders for actual things; start with 110mm naval guns, then work their way through tanks. Maybe even loving look at submarines; you don't want too many steps _that can go wrong_ on your process controls.

They even have a loving knee-cutter the middle of a loading bay.

hey since its halloween I'm gunna post some spooky leaks not everyone knows about

  • Did you know that if you watch the new AtV's closely, you can spot the ghost of Ben Lesnick? Some say his presence still haunts the popular TV show, which accounts for Sandi's often distracted and off-putting camera demeanor.
  • The CIG offices are haunted by the ghosts of Bill and Fred Nombo, brothers from the 1950s. Huge in the burgeoning real estate boom of early-developed Santa Monica, greed soon came between the twins who killed each other in a very gruesome manner. Pretty hard to concentrate on your refactoring pipeline when Fred Nombo is hovering around! This haunting is 100% the reason why SQ42 is delayed -- did you really think a programmer "fell off his bike" and broke his wrists? Nope, the Nombo twins pushed him down a flight of stairs!
  • Scary sounds can be heard from the offices at all manner of hours. Even at two or three o'clock in the morning, while the entire staff is still hard at work, low moans and grumbles echo down the halls.
  • Chris refuses to come into the office before noon and anytime after 3pm. Rumor has it the ghosts are less active during this time, so Chris feels a lot safer.
  • Wingman and other lead developers didn't quit because they wanted to...the ghosts drove them out! Developers at CIG complain of a cold presence in the building and even that their every move is being watched.

When I was growing up we had hard water, from a well. Mom used Tang in the dishwasher, since I guess the citrus reduces hard water stains.

One day she ran out of Kool-aid, and she made Tang.

All five of our faces must have been priceless displays of horror and confusion since we were convinced that Tang was a detergent, and that we had finally pushed Mom over the edge.
