The link leads to a review of an NVidia card.

I thought it would be cool if we could actually rescue people on liferafts as special missions by using the same maddness as we rescue pilots, beyond my modding skills, so talked to traveller and he did it. Just need to make some special missions for campaign to rescue a liferaft and then you go find it and click on it like you would a pilot, the people and boat vanish, but works good. Just got to get him to put some nurses on the rafts..

[nonverba]

is this a joke?

the link is something else?

[Hylander_1314]

Sorry about that. Had about 10 things going on at once, and then I caught a groundhog in my darn brussel sprouts!

Needless to say, he won't be a pest anymore! Gnawed off 3 plants that were about a foot tall. I was fumin'!

Children everywhere will celebrate his memory and valiant sacrifice.

Pray tell, what's a ground hog ?

[Hylander_1314]

A very large ground squirrel.

Check this link out Bill:

"Groundhogs are the largest members of the squirrel family. Though they are usually seen on the ground, they can climb trees and are also capable swimmers. These rodents frequent the areas where woodlands meet open spaces, like fields, roads, or streams. Here they eat grasses and plants as well as fruits and tree bark. Groundhogs are the bane of many a gardener. They can decimate a plot while voraciously feeding during the summer and fall seasons."

Trust me, when you have a garden 75ft x 75ft, and varment-kong invade it, you get a little perturbed to say the least.

And just keeping it weeded is a major chore, and it got hot here early this year. Will end up having to opt for fall peas, and spinach, as they won't bear much before the heat die off, and going to seed.

My springer spaniel killed about 50 groundhogs in his lifetime.

Quite the solemn video there. People having their lives saved. Quite moving.

[bill clarke]

Geez I won't complain about cabbage moth larvae eating my basil anymore.

[Hylander_1314]

At least a big fat groundhog is a tasty critter! Some carrots, peas, potatoes, and some gravy!

That is how I feel about Racoons,....... destructive mega-vermin. :mad:

[bill clarke]

So if they are a member of the Squirrel family, why are thy called ground hogs ?

[TorpX]

They live in burrows underground.

I've seen quite a few where I live, but I've never seen one climb a tree. Whenever, they are surprised, they run back to their hole. They seem to feel vulnerable outside their burrows.

[bill clarke]

Of course they do, what with some of the members of this forum shooting at them :D

[Hylander_1314]

Well, I do belong to PETA. (People Eating Tasty Animals).

Honestly, I do have a bunch of deterrents out for the critters, and most stay away, but the occassional critter doesn't heed them, and if I don't stop them, I won't have any vegetables, and all that work is for naught.

For the same reason porcupines are also called hedgehogs. :sunny:
