Yeah sounds like logistics support?

I find it interesting that the loaned DPRK are operating ballistic missile platforms. Makes me wonder if part of the intention is to skill up some of the army units with combat launching exp, which is not the happiest thought, since NK has a continental US capable truck-launched ICBM since 2017.

Of course the plan doesn’t work if they all get killed by Ukrainian drone attacks, but NK has never been too precious about their rank and file anyway.

Wild, the French are giving their pilots MMO pets as part of the new DLC.

That is mostly true—many of the products that contain it count as having it encapsulated, so you can leave asbestos tile on a slab and cover it with another material. However if you go to demo the tile, and start hitting it with hammer drills etc. as a frangible material it can become aerosolized and be inhaled in the lungs, where you get the horrible health effects, so you have to follow remediation protocols to do that. Obviously hitting those types of materials with explosives is going to virtually guarantee try st it gets airborne.

That said there were many applications of asbestos, like old wrapped pipe insulation for instance, where the asbestos is already in a spun (think like fiberglass or rock wool) format, and those types of things need to be remediated just for existing as they are hazardous and can leach particles into your environment easily.

If you are in a building anywhere in the world that was built before the 70’s/80’s, there is a very high chance it’s got asbestos in it. They used it for everything because it’s cheap and durable and has useful properties. Similar to things like lead paint.

Haha yeah also that.

Wild would never have guessed. Maybe because it’s possible for it to print as a continuous sheet, and I guess it comes in big rolls, etc.

Man, I wonder if it’s challenging to source a steady supply of paper for that thing…

Yeah that’s a good point. Maybe if I knew I could leave to visit my parents immediately, I would agree to meet the next day in the alley to discuss the trash bins, then zoom on out. On the other hand, I would then possibly have the deaths of my neighbors on my hands, when they inevitably airstruck the townhomes all around me to ensure that no trash bins could be left out, ever again. They’d also probably freak my entire neighborhood out by getting on our stupid messenger group chat to recommend that everyone should consider not being home tomorrow.

I keep seeing this article, and I keep thinking this is a band.

 

Seems like they boosted the EXP gain across the board since yesterday--I'm getting up to 11k EXP on a win, and 6-7K EXP on a loss. For both those numbers I did pretty well, but I looked at the breakdown, even matches I lost with poor combat performance, I was getting a 5500 EXP for the match, which is 2k ± up from the old numbers. Makes T3-4 preset grinding a little more palatable, but the later presets will still take forever.

Haven't seen an announcement or patch notes on this, so it might be one of those lever-tweaking things they do server-side.
