Denna vecka uppmärksammar tanktisdag åttioårsdagen av Japans anfall på pearl harbor 1941. För den som inte vet vad det är så var det överraskningsanfallet som ledde till att USA drogs in i andra världskriget.
Veckans sponsorvideo presenteras av /u/vonadler med teknisk support av /u/hevosenliha. Tagga för Tank-tisdag, den åttiofemte i ordningen.
Discordserver: https://discord.gg/VVrPC4EhMV War thunder server: Det varierar, kom in på discord så löser det sig. Som vanligt är tiden 19.00. FFFF (Förbannat Frekvent Frågade Frågor) som inte är low F-ort
F: Vad är War thunder?
S: War Thunder är ett strategi (i någon mening) spel fokuserat på mekaniserad krigsföring som är gratis på Steam. Man åker runt i stridsvagnar eller vad man nu vill framföra och spränger andra personers fordon tills de exploderar.
F: Vad är Discord?
S: Det är ett röstchatprogram, även kallat TMToIP-program(Taskig MikrofonTeknik over IP), som t. ex. Ventrilo eller Teamspeak, där svordomar, förolämpningar, glada tillrop, konstiga politiska åsikter och smaklösa skämt står som spön i backen.
F: Måste man vara med på Discord för att få spela?
S: Ja, det blir väldigt svårt att vara med annars. Man har roligare om man är med på Discord, även om man inte har någon mikrofon (eller dålig mikrofonteknik som /u/Isterpenis.)
F: Hur länge håller det på?
S: Ett tag, sluta skriva "Det var ingen som spelade :*(" om du kommer in klockan halv fyra på natten. FÖR HELVETE
F: Är War Thunder svårt?
S: Nej, det är så lätt att t.o.m. jag kan spela det.
F: [LÅTTEXT HÄR, FAST DET KOSTAR]
S: [BUDGETEN FÖR TANK-TISDAGSPOSTERNA TOG SLUT, JAG FÅR INTE LÄNKA NÅGRA FLER LÅTAR]
F: Hur framför jag en stridsvagn?
S: Håll in W, när du ser en annan vagn med röd rektangel ovanför den, titta på den tills du ser ett grönt kors över den, tryck sedan på vänster musknapp. Upprepa tills fienden exploderar.
F: Man kan ju bara vara 4 i en squad?
S: Ja, men sätter man sig på samma BR (vi brukar köra 1.3 så alla kan vara med) och startar samtidigt är det hög chans att man hamnar i samma strid trots att man har flera olika squads. När vi körde hamnade vi med 2 squads i samma strid 5/6 gånger.
F: Kan vi inte köra egen strid istället, då undviks ju det problemet?
S: Jo, det kan vi, men då går man ju miste om utvecklingspoäng och valuta att forska fram och köpa nya modifikationer och vagnar för.
F: Men jag är ju noob?
S: Vi kör den battle rating som passar gruppen bäst. 1.

On the promotional images on hottoys website, they said they are gonna be releasing more accessories for mark LXXXV since the figure alone is quite bare bones. Has anyone found a source on whether this is still going ahead?
I found an article (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox13news.com/news/police-search-for-florida-man-who-supposedly-beat-seagull-with-a-shovel.amp) and ran it through about 30 languages in Google Translate and then back to English. This was the result:
Police are looking for a man who was carrying a shotgun wound, which happened in Lake Florida.
Mark Island, Florida - I am looking for someone on the beach in Mark Island, Florida. According to Wink News, he saw an attack on the beach.
"I think it's really awesome," said Craig Gubin, who joined at the beginning of the interview. "I want to make sure you don't get back up. You saw him walking to the beach."
After a bloody battle at Smile Lake, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Service welcomed him to the Von Arcs Wildlife Hospital in Naples, Florida.
Joanna Fitzgerald, director of Siegel Wildlife Hospital, said she was injured several times.
"There was pain, pain in the hands, pain, pain in... breathing," he told NBC2.
"My dad was wearing a beach chair, shorts, and a green cap. Police in Marcos Island are looking for information to identify the suspect."
"And you know that you want to hurt your body and get yourself a mental illness or a poisoning." Job said: "God knows, you know?"

This chapter seemed a bit strange and out of place for me. I’m wondering where this will fit in with the larger narrative / if there was a purpose for having Monte Cristo and Albert away from Paris for this brief period of time. Nonetheless!
Synopsis:
Beauchamp and Albert visit the count who says he is getting ready to go to his house in Normandy to get away from it all (the murder investigation) for a bit. Beauchamp declines the invitation, but Albert agrees to go along.
They take the line of horses at the ready all the way up to Normandy for a number of days until Albert receives a distressing message that his Father’s actions in Janina have been reported on in the paper again, and he was named this time. Albert leaves for Paris just as swiftly as he arrived.
Discussion Questions:
- I guess I’m still a bit torn in my evaluation of Beauchamp. On one hand, he went out of his way to gather all this information from Janina and offers to defend his friend at all costs, (a friend who was willing to kill him without doing the same back) yet he also destroyed evidence and is involved in covering up this information, which strikes me as not the journalist way. Did he not think that this would come out eventually? What are your thoughts on his relationship with Albert/as a person?
- Were you expecting the Count to use his other house in the North of France for this? Why do you think he chose now to invite Albert away for a bit of a vacation? (As a side note - don’t you wish you could just go away when life got a bit overwhelming for you??)
- I feel like a lot of emphasis was put on the count’s wishes to have all of his horses ready to speed them away at a moment’s notice in previous chapters. I also feel like this was meant to imply that he would be fleeing from some kind of dangerous situation. Instead, he just wanted to make sure he got to his vacation destination in a complete hurry. What did you think of the count’s travel arrangements?
- I did appreciate the description of the count’s crest/flag in this chapter. Was there anything that you noticed?
Final Line:
“Thus the dreadful secret, which Beauchamp had so generously buried, had reappeared like an armed phantom; and on the day after Albert’s departure for Normandy, another newspaper had been maliciously informed and had published these two few lines that drove the unfortunate young man to the brink of insanity”

I've been doing some basic volume calculations and these numbers are way too crazy. I don't even know if I'm going about it right. But yeah, as the title says, if you know or can figure out how many nanites his suits have, please comment.
Sorry, but I’m a total noob. I see that Toys Wonderland has the LXXXV for $406.14 USD and Sideshow has it $423. Are they exactly the same? Any advantage to getting them from Sideshow vs TW, and vice-versa?

Also, I’ve read about the 1st batch head sculpt issues for Iron Man. IN GENERAL, is it better to get the 2nd batch (e.g. Thor Endgame, Capt America Endgame)?
Edit: updated price & link to first batch from TW

Just got an email saying that Mark 85 is arriving early from Sideshow. My question is, because of the bad head sculpt fiasco, aren't we (United States) supposed to not receive it until the new head sculpt is ready? Or are we going to have a head sculpt exchange program like what the people in Hong Kong are waiting for? Just found it a bit odd and I definitely don't want to pick it up if the head sculpt is not ready. Anyone have news on this?
