Fallout 4 - How the Milkman Saved Christmas

[@Monarch_Souls]

As a fully Swedish person, i can tell you Zach is completly correct. People use flaming arrows, drones with fire bombs, molotovs, all of it

[@tbonenom3736]

As another fully Swedish person, I can confirm. Unofficially it's become a bit of a game. And people are getting increasingly creative...

[@joakimvretlund9243]

Yeah, and he missed the most hilarious one. 2001, a tourist from the US who set on fire and then said ”Oh I thought it was something you were supposed to do!”

[@MegaRedspade]

What do they call drones that shoot arrows? I’d call them ninjas or mosquitos

[@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935]

Why do that? An merry Christmas from the land down under.

You missed one of the best entries on the list about the straw goat, the goat was also "Burnt by unknown vandals reportedly dressed as Santa and the gingerbread man, by shooting a flaming arrow at the goat."

[@walnzell9328]

The Gävle goat is like the omnidroid from The Incredibles. You can see all the iterations. Which ones succeeded and which ones were destroyed. And instead of super heroes being who it's up against, the left screen is all the drunk Swedes who tried to burn it down.

[@Sciller4]

As the son of a dairy farmer: - Clover isn't bad for cows. Only some types are. White Clover (as is apparently called in English) makes excellent feed. - The cows we raise (Simmental) weight about... 800kg for cows (1800lbs) and bulls easily go over a tonne. I'd say about... 1200kg (2600lbs) for a full-grown bull. Much depends on breed, obviously. I've heard one get over 2000 kg. That's around 4400 lbs. That's a lot of bull. - Could be a bull, could be a steer. Both could be kept and slaughtered for meat. Only mature females have udders, and they only get udders after they get pregnant. Humans are actually REALLY weird because they keep their boobies grown permanently. Most mammals only grow them when they need them. - Cows are... hm. Put politely, grass is not a very good source of energy, and maintaining brains is very energy-intensive. Injecting them with your blood does not give you magical telekinesis abilities. Sadly??? - Also, why would you WANT to make a bunch of bulls horny (ha ha!) for you? They weigh 2600lbs! - Cows go from cute little babies to milk machines in about 2 years. Most of the second year is spent pregnant. Cow pregnancy's about 9 months, so they're full-grown in about a year. Also, can confirm, baby cows are precious, adorable little idiots, and I get to feed them every day :)

[@breadman161]

This is rather interesting to learn from someone in the field, even if Zonk looked it up in the video. And yes, the mod's premise of how to bring those cows home is rather silly considering actual cattle rustling tactics.

[@MrDorsalus]

37:54 I'm glad Zach immediately recognised he was not going to win an argument against a Marine on what flavour of crayon is best.

[@walnzell9328]

Zach was right to not pick up the random food items on the ground. Oooh! A Nuka Cola Quantum! **IED detonates**

[@jackr2287]

Well good to see his army instincts coming in handy instead of just provisioning PTSD.

[@kibbs325]

Cow fact: they dot have a top row of teeth, so if they bite you, it jut kinda feels weird. It doesnt even hurt. (I know from experience) also, theyre usually very friendly animals

[@eddmario]

For those wondering where the Christmas outfits came from, they're from the Holiday pack on the Creation Club.

[@Hamokk]

The Milkman story mod reminds of the 1997 Kevin Costner film The Postman (in a way that legendary man gave hope to people) which was one of the inspirations for Fallout New Vegas. Happy holidays to all! 🎄🎉

[@dr.bright6272]

So Zach became a milkman after T-Mail put all couriers out of work?

[@ps238principal]

The pig dice ("stacking"?) game Zach is talking about is called "Pass the Pigs." It's pretty fun.

[@codystell]

Core memory unlocked when they talk about the pig stacking game, my grandmother had it and we'd play most times when we went to visit.

[@Zarazaztymiuserami]

I'm so glad we have Zach to deliver gun trivia, especially since he both fixed and fired a lot of them. I wish he did some myth busting in the next gun rant. Happy Sanguinala!

[@jerichooblivion5406]

If you care for cattle and treat them well, they apparently behave similar to dogs from what I've heard. So Moore's behavior is honestly on point~

[@AuraLT]

To expand more on the suppressor and recoil thing Yes a suppressor usually reduces recoil mostly because you add a ton of mass to the forend of a gun thus reducing muzzle rise but the actual amount of recoil should still be the same since its still the same bullet and pressures the can just takes come of the force from its weight A comp or break will reduce recoil more simply due to them being designed to redirect gas but cans just capture it and let it expand Ill get off my soap box

[@johngoodrich1831]

So I knew about the goat that everyone sets on fire, but I didn't know that the security company I worked for almost two years ago helped defend the goat!

[@2ndpersonshooter713]

40:52 "And the Sea will run white with his rage!"

[@patrickholt2270]

The verb is "to kowtow to demands". Completely unrelated to the verb "to cow-tow", which requires tranquilizers, a super-sized sled and steel cables.

[@15sherpinski]

The reason Pasteur was working on a cure for anthrax is because it's caused by a naturally occurring fungus. It used to be a massive concern for dairy farmers because cows will not hesitate to eat grass down to the soil and so couldningest anthrax spores. Pastuer dedicated his scientific career to improving the lives of farmers and he also created a vaccine for avian cholera as well as anyhrax and rabies

[@Lycanboy]

Technically, calling her a cow is completely fine, because a Brahman is just a breed of cow. Though, the Fallout Brahman cows look absolutely nothing like real life ones. They're missing the distinguishing shoulder hump, and the long, floppy ears.

The opening of this episode has me wondering if I could put a counterbalance like that of a bow on a pistol and have any realizable advantage as far as recoil goes...

[@PastelFurry]

Yeah Zach is correct about the goat, its called Gävlebocken and honestly I think ppl are more surprised when it isn't instantly set on fire than when it actually is. I might be misremembering this since I havent been to see it in a while but I believe they put surveilance around it now adays to prevent ppl from lighting it on fire

[@PflHell6678]

When Zach was going to everybody in the beginning and Darlene got and moved off screen her voice scared the shit out of me

"How much cows weight? 2021 it was destroyed by a fire ag-"

[@Tinblitz]

Over recent years I just assumed that silencers/suppressors in game that you add with a workbench are also "switched" to subsonic ammunition, and that's why the recoil (And sometimes damage) gets lowered. Anyway.,Merry Christmas, you two. Thank you for another year of great content.

So I was listening to this while browsing the steam workshop for a game called From The Depths. I was browsing cause I saw for a brief second, what I can only describe as a robot Pixar mom the internet made doing a certain beding down stance, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I find it, said it was the most internet thing I've ever seen, take that back and say it was the most internet thing I've seen from FTD, look down, see decon rocking that dress, and said, "that, is the most internet thing I've seen"

[@Kansas_Gamer1998]

As a farmer who has raised cattle my whole life, I can tell you this, it takes a steer and heifers eight to 14 months to reach optimal weight and size to slaughter. A cow past the 12 or 14 months can not be used for stake per USDA guidelines about meat connected to the spinal collum. A heifer can be bread at 18 months, and if you have ever worked with cattle you will feel no remorse for slaughtering them for food, they can and will hurt you if they feel like it. "Pet", cows were raised as bottle calves who lost their mothers and required hand feeding twice a day to raise and in rare cases cows can become "Comfortable" around people which can be good and bad. Don't feel bad for eating beef they only live up to 15 to 20 years and will be consumed by the earth one way or another just like everything.
