I enjoy the podcasts where the host is obviously just going through the motions of something they're being paid to promote that they clearly hate. There's a politics podcast I listen to, which I shall be discrete about naming, where they're advertising blinkest. It's one of those "Don't have time to read a book! We'll sell you our hand-crafted abridged version." sites. And the subtle air of withering contempt it's delivered with amused me. Deptfordx fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Dec 6, 2019 |

How much "What's going on in the outside world" do SSBN crew get on a patrol anyway? I'm imagining some crewmen who went to sea in January and getting a hell of a shock when they come back.

Early modern question for Hey Guns and others knowledgable in the period. Law suits are often mentioned in that period discussion and I was wondering how do law suits work in the era anyway? Specifically. I was wondering who served them, the suitbringer or his proxy, an agent of the court or what. Also what sort of reach did they have. So if someone came to your town, wronged you in a fashion that called for legal remedy (you say) and left to the next town over. Could you still sue them, have to sue them in that town, find a court with a jurisdiction that covers both etc, etc. What if they were foreigners or indigents?

How much small arms do warships carry in their ships armouries? Do smaller ships that are more likely to be boarding carry proportionally more than their bigger cousins. Just how much would a Battleship likely to have stowed away. I know modern warships sometimes carry stingers or their equivalent SAM. What about ATGM's like the Javelin, or mortars/grenade launchers?

BalloonFish posted:The British were much closer to the Americans in methods, but not in quantity - which really goes for tanks and everything else in WW2. Would the German workshop system be any more 'durable' for want of a better word, when it came to having the crap bombed out of them. Maybe less disruptable than the super-efficient production lines the allies could build in safety. For example in Ensigns recent Jadgpanther article the main production facility gets bombed 10 times, and has 60% of it's buildings flattened in the largest.

Grenrow posted:I saw one on a sales site once that was basically a big chunky backsword looking blade on a standard 1845 pattern hilt. So my guess would be that the backsword one was probably an officer who had seen some real hand to hand combat and wanted a beefier blade. Richard Sharpe nods approvingly.
