"immediate suspicion focused on the Type 3 anti-aircraft shell as it was believed to have caused a fire before the war at the Sagami arsenal. Known as "sanshiki-dan", these were fired by the main armament and contained 900 to 1,200 25 mm diameter steel tubes (depending upon sources), each containing an incendiary charge" "Even though the 3 Shiki tsûjôdan shells comprised 40% of the total main ammunition load of the Yamato-class battleships by 1944, they were rarely used in combat against enemy aircraft. The blast of the main guns turned out to disrupt the fire of the smaller antiaircraft guns." Who was in charge of procuring that I wonder? "Dearest human scum. Thankz for buzinezz. Keep buy good Kustom Meltaz! Waaagh-m regardz, Mekboyz PS. Watch fingaz!"

When you came, you said to me as follows: “I will give Gimil‐san (when he comes) fine quality incendiary powder.” You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put powder which was not good before my messenger (Ṣīt‐san) and said “If you want to take it, take it, if you do not want to take it, go away!” What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty‐handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun‐to who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) yen of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of powder, and Šumi‐sama has likewise given 1,080 pounds of powder, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Suijin. How have you treated me for that powder? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full. Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any powder from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the powder in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

"indeed, one of the shells may have exploded early and disabled one of Musashi's guns during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea.[4]" Not the same, but I also don't remember anything about any IJN BB's being accidentally suicided (as opposed to the final sallies out which were expected to be suicidal) My mistake, thanks Volmarias fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Aug 28, 2020 |

They did some tests that seemed to rule out the special shells being the problem. The main reason the committee settled on arson was that it happened to take place in the turret manned by this particular pissed-off sailor, but we’ll never know for sure it wasn’t an accidental fire.

shame on an IGA posted:Sumerian Karen best Karen I read somewhere that Ea-Nasir, to whom that letter was addressed, kept a whole cabinet full of similar hate-mail. We know this because the whole city was sacked and burned during his lifetime, so his house was found in a burned snapshot of it's everyday condition, with his clay tablet hate-mail stash all nicely fired for posterity. Also apparently a corner of the house had been repoed by the neighbours, so I guess he wasn't exactly popular.

Someone send that to his leadership. I mean, they can't do anything, but maybe he should be bullied a little? I dunno. What kinda drugs was she doing when A) she thought that was in anyway good and B) thought that the concept was a good idea.

Maybe not the best thread but I have to ask somewhere, how the hell do you deal with the dumbfucks who are trying to lionize a 17 year old craven and murderer? Facts bounce off of them and some of them are hard to cut out of social group since a bunch of us just got pulled together because another bro from the invasion died. It's all whataboutism and but but but. I want to smack the stupid out of them but can't.

I had four separate conversations with a TSgt this month about her follow-on assignment. I kept repeatedly telling her that yes, the JTR authorizes you to ship your household goods to wherever while you're on a short tour, but if you ship them anywhere but your follow-on location the Air Force will cancel the assignment because you broke the agreement you obviously didn't read when you signed for it. All of the conversations went something like this: "But why can't I ship my stuff to my spouse in [location A], then he ships it with his stuff to [location B]?" "Because you made a deal to get an assignment pick a year ahead of everyone else on the sole condition that the Air Force only has to pay to move your stuff one time, from here to there. If you want you can store it here, then send it to [location B] once your spouse gets there." "But if I ship it to my spouse, can't they put it in their HHGs and ship it?" "No, because that's still your stuff being shipped twice on the government's dime. If you ship your stuff anywhere but B on the government's dime, you WILL lose the assignment. If you need to take stuff to your spouse, do it out of pocket." Tell me why I had to go explain to my commander why this person is going to lose their follow-on (where her spouse is being assigned in a few months) because she went ahead and shipped her stuff to her spouse then cried to her commander that she was misinformed about the process.

They asked for that guidance in writing, I told them to look at the application they signed where it outlined all of it. It ain't exactly the Apple Terms of Service, it's like a page and a half and pretty clear-cut.
