Alright [chat], I need another name for my new line of launch vehicles.
The first line was the Copenhagen (the horse, not the city), a sounding rocket architecture that eventually was configured to reach altitudes as high as 950km. I'm in the midst of crafting an imgur album recap of its service life.
The second line was the Horn (courtesy of VH, named after a narwhal's protuberance), a three-to-four-stage ballistic rocket that managed to place our first satellite into Low Earth Orbit on its second launch. However, the control system proved incredibly unreliable, and so it lived out the remainder of its service life as an eminently capable sounding rocket, reaching altitudes of over 4000km.
Now I'm in the midst of designing our first purpose-built orbital launcher, featuring new engines and avionic technology. It's a three stage launcher which, due to launchpad restrictions, must remain under 40 tonnes, so it is unlikely it'll ever achieve launches beyond Low Earth Orbit. Still, I'm pretty excited about this newest vehicle, and it needs an appropriate name!

I went back to XCOM 2 yesterday. Now I am wondering why Snipers are called Snipers instead of Pistol Gods.
Well, now that they're called "Sharpshooters", you have the option of Raylan Givens or Tim Gutterson.
Raylan wins this round...long rifle sharpshooters don't feel nearly as meaty as they did in XCOM - especially given hitpoint inflation, no shred, better enemy dodge, and the fact that Grenadiers and Supports have a bunch of ways to put out $TEXAS AOE non-RNG damage. Typically I'm plinking with Lightning Hands and dedicated pistol attacks half the time, anyways.
I always bring one with me, and half the time I'm thinking "You know, I could really use another Grenadier right now." She's Captain Flashbang. Maybe I'll roll another once I buy plasma pistols, and have her on close-range duty.
kill zone is the only really useful sharpshooter perk, that i've found, and then only once a fight and if you can set it up at the right time
i want to use deadeye everytime but it drops a 96% shot to 70% and i frown and take the shot that will almost always hit

once you get plasma grenades you won't really need the flashbangs
you'll just murder everyone

Oh, I'm damn near endgame. You find a better way to fuck up a Codex, you let me know. (Cap Discharge will do it, but it's a shame to waste it on a lone Codex and half the time he's busy hacking robots or swagging all over the place doing his thing.)

I'm getting a lot of value out of the pistol perks that up your maximum pistol shots per round.
Lightning Hands and, what's the other one, Quickdraw? Both very useful. My two main sharpshooters are getting up close and cleaning up a lot of weakened enemies with their pistols.
Although I opted for Killzone instead of Faceoff on my first Captain, and that has worked out pretty well so far. Although Faceoff sure sounds fun.

I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
But using a sniper (maybe with the -%accuracy+dmg skill) is often the difference between killing something in 1 hit instead of 2...and they can just stand on a building on the other side of the map...as I've said, my dream team is 2 snipers, 2 grenadiers and 2 healer supports. One sniper is specced for pistols but it's more for badassery than for combat efficacy.

One of the city’s largest private ambulance companies ceased operations Wednesday night after filing for bankruptcy. It comes at the same time the city is struggling to reduce ambulance response times.
TransCare operated 27 ambulances in the Bronx and Manhattan for seven hospitals and employed 200 EMT's and paramedics. It also responded to 911 calls. The shutdown means a loss of 81 ambulance tours, or ten percent of shifts citywide, with a greater impact in the affected boroughs.

Yeah, I don't understand the medic tree at all. Healing folks doesn't cut down on recovery time in the strategic layer (which continues to be silly - critical hit from an Andromedan plasma lance, "wounded". Two points of damage from a Viper constrict, GREVIOUSLY WOUNDED TEN THOUSAND YEARS DUNGEON), and I subscribe to the school where the quicker you get your murder on, the less amount of patching up you'll have to do.

In reality, the tendencies on display in Trump’s campaign have constituted a large and growing element of Republican politics. Figures like Strom Thurmond and George Wallace led white Southerners out of the Democratic Party and brought white populist politics into the GOP. Simultaneously, the party’s genteel northern liberal tradition has withered. These trends accelerated during the Obama years. Social scientist Michael Tesler has found that white racial resentment, which has grown steadily as a driving factor in the partisan realignment, has taken on a dramatically greater role in shaping partisan views. White racism is a far greater determinate of Republican loyalty than ever before. A rigorous study originally conducted in 2013 found that the most slave-intensive southern counties in 1860 have the most conservative and Republican white populations today. Recent work by Marc Hetherington and Jonathan Weiler finds that authoritarian psychology has also driven much of recent polarization.
I discussed both of these findings, among others, in a story on Obama and race two years ago, and even though the study criticized much of the left’s treatment of race during the Obama years, conservatives dismissed these findings. Their sensitivity is understandable. Conservatism, and the modern Republican party, is the lineal heir of a historically continuous defense of white racial hierarchy that has been written out of the American civic tradition. While conservatism has perfectly non-racist basis in theory — and a great many people subscribe to it without harboring racial motives of either the open or the covert kind — it is simply a fact that white racial fears supply a large proportion of real-world Republican votes. Conservatives, with very few exceptions, refuse to grapple with this reality. They prefer to treat racism as lying completely outside of, or even antithetical to, the American conservative tradition. Intellectuals on the right also habitually dismiss the entire theory of the authoritarian personality as biased claptrap designed to pathologize them.

I do recall the Beatles being quite popular (again) for a time. Probably because of CDs.
You mean Jet Set Radio Future.
Also the version in JSRF has several lines of lyrics omitted from it. Like, the song is 15-20 seconds shorter in the game than the album version.
