True, but I think the saying is meant to just say how absolutely horrific war is. Since hell is supposed to be the worst thing man can imagine.

That's just a roundabout way of saying war is hell.

That's because the original post is how a guy made this for his neice (or something like that) because she liked fantastical macabre things like this.

Wow that's interesting, now that you mention it, outside of fallout I've heard people say "Jerry rigged" but for some reason the fallout use "jury" never seemed off to me.
Thanks for sharing what you learned! (:

According to Google jury rigging is the right term? Jury rigged is just the past tense form

Jury rigging is what fallout calls it. Which is what I thought we were referencing

What I really need is the jury-rigging perk

The fiddling to get things to fit is the part that cannot be understated. For me that's a massive portion of doing anything myself.
I see a how-to youtube video and think "Oh that looks easy" and then I proceed to take way longer than the guy in the video to get that one thing to actually fit in or come off right.

I forgot who made the joke how an Amazon truck could run over his wife and the next day he would be on Amazon.com ordering the black tie for the funeral.

I really enjoy the character designs and the art style. It somehow gives me pleasant nostalgia
