Aikido is the gentle art of folding clothes with people still in them.
Similar could be said of Judo
Your comment is wonderful.
@@Septagonbullet and Jiu Jitsu
That's funny shit right there!
@@shanethompson3180 indeed, and BJJ is is straight up folding a belligerent person into a broken pretzel.
Just a thought gentlemen: Imposter syndrome is the mortal enemy of the Dunning-Kreuger effect. Anyone with an IQ above a turnip will struggle with either not feeling like they are good enough, or struggling as a failing "expert". Most vacillate between the two. If empathy is a two-way street, then please do not forget to be kind to yourself.
You know Tex, the beauty of watching you is that it feels like you are listening to someone who is genuine. It reminds me of hanging out with my good friends, where we will cycle between real shit and being complete assholes and hilarious. You are awesome. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
this is extremely accurate iv got a friend we have sat and babbled about history and theoretical physics and then randomly switch to memeing at each other then back multiple times in a couple hours worth of talking
On the Star Trek uniforms... Yeah, with a phaser or disruptor shot resulting in either a clean miss or a hard kill, about the only thing you'd still want to consider armoring against would be things like fire and shrapnel. Beyond that, you could have your guys in comfortable gear that maximizes range of motion. I'm imagining something like a Jedi's loose tunic, but with a gunslinger's quick-draw holster on one hip for the phaser.
...Just make sure you give them pockets. I'll never understand why some costume designer figured no one would need or want pockets in the future.
That is pretty much the same situation as we had in both world wars.
And as it turns out artillery is still a factor, so you want helmets to save people from rocks falling on their heads, and want sturdy clothing that protecks you from the kudzu when you are prone in a ditch. Knee and elbow pads optional.
Ghis ia of course only if you are considering ground combat.
@@ineednochannelyoutube5384 Yeah, pretty much. Best to protect against those dangers you actually can do something about, and train to avoid the rest. Since plasma-based computers tend to explode during combat, Starfleet could benefit from something that mimics the function of the anti-flash hoods and (relatively) light body armor used by modern navies when they expect trouble, even if the redshirts never leave the ship.
It's jumping universes a bit, but one of the Thrawn novels had the crew of a Chiss warship all put on armored pressure suits as part of going to full battle stations. Given how often we see random unlucky crew in Trek get blown out of a hull breach to die horribly in the vacuum of space, something similar might not be a bad idea for any space-based force.
18:30 or thereabouts: As with many things, Kipling put it well. In his case, talking about how soldiers are maligned at all times except during war, but it certainly applies to many other professions. Especially emergency services.

Keep being you Tex. I love how real you are about yourself and your experiences because it helps normalize it. I find a lot of your experiences similar to mine and I appreciate listening to you go on hyperfixation tangents while advocating for people to have patience in an effort to be nicer.
I wish this game later on could have a feature where in order to save resources, you could just have worse ships and crew, so for example you could make better ships if one of them is the Kamchatka
well the game is gonna have a campaign, with at least budget management as far as i understand it. So you could be forced to make several Kamchatkas just to make up the numbers
one of the things I wish or atleast hope they do is having multiple classes of a ship type in one battle.
Of course you will get a box full of binoculars so you can throw them at the Kamchatka in vehement disgust.
With the star trek chat, what with hologram technology being something you CAN use physically to magic up tools and weapons, and replicators to do what the Cardassian did earlier on in DS9 to replicate a phaser turret into the command centre, you might have to imagine that a fully militarised star fleet would look more like an army of techno wizards of death then they would marines with rifles.

I'm not one of the five people you are doing those videos for, and i found your channel only two years or so ago. But. I appreciate you sharing things with randoms on the internets. It helps me deal with my impostor syndrome, depression and also, apparently, autism (because i was never diagnosed, lol).
My oldest said something to his sister the other day that is one of the most profound, meaningful things I’ve ever heard. He told her this after she came home from a bad day at school and thinking that her classmates all were making fun of her and that nobody would ever want to be her friend. He told her “It doesn’t matter what other people think of you. It only matters what you think of you. But, I think your awesome and I love you and I’d still think that even if I wasn’t your brother.”
He’s 13. I HAVE NO IDEA how I managed to raise a kid that kind. None at all.
But his advice is still sound. Just be you Tex. Based on subscriber alone that’s good enough for nearly 90,000 people.
Tex's comment about being a 911 dispatcher reminds me of my time as a phone tech for a cable company. We had shrieking, screaming, death threats, racial slurs, along with fake calls from management that were extra vicious. The difference is none of it matters. It's just cable TV. That was an utterly draining job and I'm still dealing with the mental health effects after many years. Granted it was only one of the damaging call center jobs I've had.
Unfortunately the current culture is that people expect things when they shout. I too was raised to expect things when I shouted - primarily a clip round the ear from my parents or a fist to the face if I was mouthy to the wrong person. I refuse to raise my voice to someone working in a call centre and will generally try to be as understanding as possible. If I'm particuloarly annoyed I will make sure that the person I'm speaking to knows it has nothing to do with them. That's just basic courtesy.
Same here but for a phone company. It's been over a decade and I still have nightmares about an old man graphically describing how he would kill my entire family and make me watch because the county he lived in levied a new $0.10 tax.
@@Slythis1985 and it's not as if you had any more part in or power to reverse that change than he did ffs.
@@SonsOfLorgar Oh that's the worst part, as a local resident he actually had the ability to take the issue up with the county and maybe get it changed. Meanwhile I couldn't issue a refund (since it was a tax) or hang up without getting fired.
@@Slythis1985 That about sums it up. To anyone who reads this keep in mind such behavior from customers is TYPICAL. Every shift you get at least one absolute monster calling in.
I cannot express how much I enjoy this series. It's so relaxing to sip a coffee while you wax historical and send hundreds of sailors to their watery doom.
"We have arrived to liberate you Philippines! Please do not resist."
Lol the robot thing "We're safe from Skynet." True. Sadly, the same cannot be said of Airhogs...
If BPL says surprisingly deep, it's gonna be good
There is a Timber & Iron version of this:
It's called Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail
Tex, as fun as the Zen burned man sounds, god I want you to play the Plasma man idea. Just the idea of that guy interacting with "normal" humans is making me laugh.
Aye, the 9-second gang! Earliest I've ever found. Heck yeah, big funnel boat.
"Wagyu Helper" is like half the food videos on RUclips.
Fred wouldn't go "that's not funny." Fred would smile and then try to find where the pain that caused the joke came from
There's an interesting article on old ship targeting computers

As someone who spent five years as a 911 dispatcher, I must agree it has a weird effect on your perception of events. You're a step removed from an endless chain of horrible accidents and actions, for hours on end, night after night. I quit because the stress of feeling I wasn't good enough at it to help people more kept building up, even though there was no real reason to feel that way. To this day, I can't take much seriously in my current line of work (casino business) because so little of it matters. It's just money and paperwork. You can fix it all later, and even if you don't fix it, it still probably doesn't matter.
People number 4 hear. I really do enjoy this sires and can't wait for the final version of this game to come out. Krupp armor forever! Chromium makes it so the ships crew can go to Valhalla shiny and chrome!!!
"It made out of paper" makes it more of an Atlanta.
Yes, a Tex vid! and funny enough earlier, I was doing a fight....1898 against the Spanish, with 1940's US Heavy crusiers, to give them a chance I used no torps, only 10" 3x3 turrets, and a butt ton of secondaries. Was up to 3 crusiers vs 8BB, 8CA, 10CL and 12TB....and started at 1km, haha....they managed to knock out one to 3 engines on each one, dropped my stucture to 70-80% and my floatability to like 92%, mainly with their torp salvos at point blank range, was gonna try 2 against those numbers, then up their numbers if I still won, will be another day.
As a (almost) lifelong Utah resident, I can somewhat explain about the weirdness of Utah.
The main thing you need to know is that Utah's history is very much tied to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (referred to at times as Mormons. I will be referring to them as just The Church from this point on). If you want to do a bit more of a deep study, it's going to come up.
The reason why the state song is titled "This is the place" is because it was what the then president of the church said when he entered the Salt Lake Valley. The Church was at that point in time looking for a place to settle where they could worship without persecutions from others as they had in Missouri and Illinois. They were actually planning on leaving the United States, but then the US won the Mexican-American war, making the land now United States soil. (Also, something to look up from this time would be the Mormon Battalion, a group tied to the war (though they never actually fought), the Latter-day saints, and the california gold rush)
Anyway, Brigham Young, the leader of the Church at the time, didn't actually know where they were going to stop and settle. He said he'd seen it in a vision, and that he'd know it when he saw it. So, when they reached the Salt Lake Valley, they stopped and began to settle what became the state of Utah. So if something about utah seems strange, the history behind it is probably tied to the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The secret to being wise and feeling like you have your shit together was told to me by a Buddhist Bishop. "When you have nothing to get together then you won't be disorganized."

1:36:33 "Remember, fire is a legal loophole." -Tex the traveler
There were no rangefinders, coincidence, stereoscopic or other, in 1898.
It was all literally a guy in the foretop with a telescope yelling “over 100!”
Are you sure about that?
@@ineednochannelyoutube5384
Sorry, I meant director fire control.
The Royal Navy had a proposal for salvo firing from a single fire control director on hand, but not yet implemented it in 1904
The director system of fire control was incorporated first into battleship designs by the Royal Navy in 1912.
Regardless of rangefinding technology, naval gunfire direction in 1898 was a guy in the foretop with a telescope yelling "over 100!"
@@dougjb7848 I know central firing was an invention of the 20th century, but I'm als pretty sure rangefinding predates steam engines. The math for it was certainly know even in ancient times.
Idea for future Ship-Post: have the first fight feature an "outdated" battleship backed up by you're newer "cutting edge" smaller craft, and maybe some more mis-ballenced fleet compositions between sides.
Gotta say Tex your voice is real easy to fall asleep too, and that's not a bad thing.
Picric acid was put in girl scout toys decades ago, and my company had to remove a collection of them gathered by an elderly lady who passed away and her living room was basically a BOMB!!!!
So, you were *really* careful to drive defensively to get those toys to where they could be safely destroyed without getting into a traffic accident and blow a city block to Dresden 1943?
This my favorite stream of yours, right up there with Arcanum on the Courtesy Flush. Thanks for providing quality entertainment with granules of historical information. I love this stuff.
I love how genuine these videos are keep being awesome Tex!!
Loving your content. I'm off work at the moment due to serious illness and i just want to say that your stuff is keeping me sane right now, which trust me is a big thing atm. Cheers.
shipposting quickly becoming my favorite segment
Deputy, I was also known for the bored pursuit voice. Doing 100 mph in a Tahoe chasing 2 stolen trucks, sounding like I’m taking out groceries.
"You killed 800 Jem'hadar!"
"I turned them into meat flavored air!"
I wish Tex would do one of these with @Drachinifel
He'd have to know who I was first, bud.
@@theblackpantslegion understood
@@theblackpantslegion You say it like he might not. Perhaps we should start a friendly campaign to get the pair of you ship posting.
@@theblackpantslegion that sounds like a mission briefing XD
So... I've been practicing this whole para-social relationship thing. And telling people in my real life, about people in the digital world, but like they're actual friends. It's very interesting, very convincing too.
"Hi!"
"I'm not stoic, I'm emotionally crippled" this is usually my explanation as well.
A lovely episode. Really looking forward to Deputy's Traveler campaign! I've been looking into running one of my own for my group, and seeing one run would be a great jumping off point.
There is like a grand total of two chapters in Moby-Dick that aren't spectacularly boring
I love listening to people and theire storys and struggles. It reminds you that everyone has his own hell in life to get through, his own struggles to overcome.
But the lessons people learn from these things are unique and often overlooked parts in the equation of our own life that we need to solve or steer around to solve our own misery.
And I like to hear that people made progress, that they overcome and push forward despite still having battles to fight.
There is realy just will that lets you carve out your own path or the gentle floating along in the river of passing time and seeing what happens.
Keep strong and live, just my best wishes for everyone of you.
A properly militarized Star Fleet would kick Borg ass!
Tex. I love your stuff.
you voice some of my problems in ways that make sense to me. and it gives me a different perspective on them and how to cope with them.
Thank you Tex.
I really enjoyed this. It’s nice to feel part of a very deep conversation even if you are not able to add your part. Luckily I agree with a lot of what both of your conclusions.
here i am drunk and tired and hearing tex makes me smile.
I finally found the Red Orchestra story again. amazing as always Mr. Tex even if this is an older video.
: One of the best podcasts in a long while :)
TEX I may have not been around from the beginning but I do plan to stay here for the future.
This series is fantastic.
I have to say Ship Posting is quickly becoming my favorite thing you do.
The idea of a Prohibition Era gang being the worst thing imaginable to the Borg is amazing.
"What the fuck is a kilometer?" is the funniest American battle cry I've ever heard. :D
Joy to the world more ship posts!~
Tumbler here of the Braindamage battalion. Fine work here. bring a brew its a long one.
as far as police go i have only ever run into one decent cop, a Sheriff deputy. as a youngun i was clocked doing 120mph in a 55mph zone and he let me off with a warning (mind you this was in a beat up old 1985 Merc. Capri). his reasoning was and i quote "Kid, I'm letting you off with a warning just this once because this thing should have fallen apart". mot other police i have had the misfortune of dealing with have been meh to shit. (our town Sheriff was caught multiple times taking the speed limit sign off the pole so he could ticket people for speeding. this guy never got in any trouble and retired with full benefits.)
mind that sheriff deputy true to his word gave me a ticket almost a year later for 60 in a 55.
also Tex and folks keep up the good work in making enjoyable content.
If you're looking for the top shelf Wisconsin cheddar you don't get freshly made, you get aged cheddar. You get a 20 year aged cheddar so sharp it's monomolecular.
Tex and the BPL are absolutely top tier goob people. Do they have their shitty moments? Uhhh, don't we all?
But yeah, keep doing you Tex, it's what I enjoy
I spent every 5 minutes trying to like the video. Good stuff tex, love the content. Don't kill yourself working!
Won't go overboard, but I always eagerly await BPL videos with Tex talking to other BPL members.
Also as I try to explain to people:
"We all have our battles and daily struggles. I never want to take away or lessen another persons trials and challenges. However if everyone can laugh about it, all the better than letting it fester."
But I'm also a sh!tbag so my opinions aren't all that important.
Fun bonus Utah fact (that I'm not putting with my other comment so you don't have to slog through it): There is actually a type of insect called the Utah Cricket. Know scientifically as Anabrus simplex, it's not actually a cricket, but a kind of brush cricket from the Rocky Mountains. However they are the crickets from the briefly mentioned Miracle of the Gulls, and will swarm along ground devouring any plant life they come across (and at times other Mormon Crickets).
So what you're saying is that nurturing biblical level swarms of Utah crickets enough to overwhelm the sea gulls and release them as a second wave might 'fix' Utahs mormon problem?

Oh, about food....wisconsin cheddar is good, had a lot of it, definitely good, but the best cheddar cheese I've ever had, is Bandon, medium cheddar, seriously, if you can find it, try it, is the best, for mild cheddar. In my books, Vermont still takes the cake for sharp/extra sharp, with Tillamook as a close second. And yeah BF 1942, I miss it, such an epic game.
Hey thanks for all the retro gaming you've been doing on this and The CF. It made me nostalgic and get Baldurs Gate one and two on steam, it cost me like $8 total. Letting you know (you probably already do) about great deals. Take it easy. 😎🤘🍻
I love your content; never know if we're going to get into an existential conversation and complex discussion on social issues. And just because text doesn't communicate emotional nuance well, I mean that very seriously, I think it's great. You always seem very genuine, when many others stick to their niche and curate their content to fit the algorithm instead.
The last thing I want, is to have on my headstone "He obeyed the Algorithm"
You had me at 'Ship Posting'

Ah the glory of the Black Stack Fleet rolls onward. May shipposting be with you glorious bastards of wind and waves!
My response to gifts is similar but I usually threaten to smack people until they give up on it
You don't know what someone has been through. Yep going around starting shit is dangerous because you never know if your gonna get that one guy who's been through enough shit they snap and end you.
I'm not one of those 5 people you mentioned, but I do like your stuff. The stupid fun and the fundamentally "anti-bullshit" conversations that go along with it help me to get through difficult days every week. So, to the entire BPL crew who make this channel happen, you have my deepest thanks! Praise Z0rg and his mighty, flaming toblarone.
Oh, and I'd like to add my voice to the chorus of people saying that you do plenty of work, imposter syndrome be damned.

@Tex My personal interest being ancient history (broadly B.C. around the Aegean) primary sources are extremely limited and logically they must be biased on some level. Something that I've struggled with regarding modern history is not just finding primary sources but being able to qualify the level of reliability in contemporary sources. From someone who has studied periods of time in which things like paper existed, is there some kind of rule-of-thumb you can provide as a minimum qualifier? I feel like I don't know enough to pass a 'sanity check' on information from the era.
Oh man, you have the worst period to look at in terms of this. Yeah, that which survives is going to be biased, at least that which was at the time mass published. Rome's fuckin' histories on the Germans for instance really show something interesting - morality play for the decadence and overgrowth of Rome and a chastisement in the same way - . As far as it goes, you're going to have to do the hardest thing - separate what might be realistic while also understanding the limitations of the point of view - either from perspective or education. Education then, well, having a far greater impact on someone's access to writing or being able to be understood.
That being said - modern history is fucky as well. We generate NOISE on an equal level as we do actual information. For instance, if I want to find what the Hellreigel might have been - outside of say, the three photos it appears in from the bildarchive. What I -can- do is learn the gunsmiths, armorers, and everything else that would have had to been read in, or involved, and judge their capababilities.
What I can't do is "Guess" and make stuff up. So I have to have some level of intense study of arms development of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, its arsenal system, etc. Modern History requires frequent rabbit holes. As far as you guys in the ancient sphere, wow, yeah, I couldn't do it. It'd make me insane.
@@theblackpantslegion I guess it's all natural inclinations but I find the signal-to-noise ratio with much of modern history completely overwhelming so hats off to you and Deputy. You guys keep talking and I'll keep googling so I kind of understand what the hell you guys just said. =)
nice episode! 👍
Thanks for making me laugh.
You do a good job, Tex.
To be historically accurate, some of the Spanish ships would have to be steam powered wooden ships 🤣
Wow Tex, I was on tour in Ulster when you were born! Feel really old now......
Sometimes it's god to know that something has a name. Imposter Syndrome, it is a thing you mentioned that struck me real hard, and I can see how it can affect people, including me. I feel like a failure sometimes when I look back and see all the missed opportunities, the lack of effort, laziness. I know now that may not be all true. I need to realize that I can make mistakes and it's not the end of the world in most cases. I know I've opened way up on this page, but I don't care for some reason. It might be that I trust the people around the BPL... Anyway, I love the content and my kid says "hi!" Yes we know you don't know us but we listen and watch as much as we can. It is part of our week, a good break and laugh after we've been on basic lock down since march 2020!
Tex, need more Arcanum Play Through's man... Tech guy maybe... Gnome or Halfling with Pistol is pretty funny, or a bomb guy... Love Arcanum!
I doubt you'll ever read this but seeing you talk about your own problems and how you struggle with mental health so much... Honestly helped me feel a little bit more normal. I struggle with my anxiety on a daily basis, and oftentimes it's difficult to even function. Good sleep is a luxury for me nowadays. But maybe tonight I'll sleep a little better. Thank you.
I read everything, I respond when able. We all struggle with something, I feel, if we're honest. Whether is fear or anxiety or doubt, we're a plagued species when it comes to brain issues. All we can do is endure, and ensure that our hard days dont become somebody elses
Yeah, this got deep but it's nice to hear a cop talk about their shifts.
I feel like my generation (~mid 20s) has made a compartment in our mind where we have to do things for ourselves sometimes.
Sometimes we go there and get our selves an ice cream or something. We can’t afford much more 😂
Tex, I don't think I've commented on your videos before... I'm new here, but if I never comment again, I want you to know that you have a great laugh. The wheezing helps it so much. It's like starting an engine, and then you start chuckling. If I never get to type you anything else, just know I love that laugh, and it makes my day.

Top Shelf Hamburger Helper... so in addition to the fresh pasta, good cheese, and whatever beef or mix you end up grinding... use some finely minced fresh garlic, gently browned in the fat runoff from the beef, then stir in salt, fresh black pepper, a little cayenne, smoked paprika, chili powder, a pinch of crushed red pepper, a little brown sugar (or sugar in the raw, just for a little of that molasses content), and corn starch, along with whole milk. If the cheese doesn't want to melt properly, and is clumping, sprinkle on a teaspoon of mustard powder and stir it in. Pull it when the pasta is still al dente. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and be ready to lick the bowl clean.
the problem with your wide spread setting on phasers is, or at least should be, it would mean that the individual energy impact 2would be rather low, probably not even enough to stun the enemy, At leas it is not the portal from the Sun from STO, which for some reason (ingame ) is able to JUST STUN ^^
I hope you guys record it for the Courtesy Flush, I've never heard of Traveler but it seems like mega fun and I would love to see it as an introduction.
