    There’s 2 F series trucks for every square mile of this country. Do you think they are all out there hauling loads and trailers, off roading and actualling being used for truck stuff, or do you think that the vast majority of them are single occupant highway battering rams built to make small men feel big and important?

    Remember, 2 per square mile, and that just one series of trucks, from 1 manufacturer, going back just 10 years.

    In the absence of hard statistics, I think a gut check on the sheer scale of trucks being sold in the US will suffice.



  • Probably a bad idea. If I was leading a boarding party, and all the defender’s retreated below decks, I’d consider it a victory. Take down the sails, pin the rudder, then park my ship outside of their cannons’ firing arc. Then just wait. Maybe have my crew bring over buckets of shit, vomit, or whatever other vile substances we could find, and dump them down the grates. If I got real desperate, I could just board up the doors and set the ship on fire. Sure, I’ll miss out on most of the treasure, but those dwarves will probably burn to death before the boat totally sinks.
