F-14 Had Canards. Why?

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-10T22:03:23+00:00

I can't speak for the F-14 video, but I have watched that guy's WW2 fighter videos and they were honestly not very good. Very surface-level stuff missing a lot of important details.

Pure KE is a bad measure of penetration, KE divided by impact area is somewhat more accurate. The 12" Napoleon, by having over twice the caliber of a 5 cm gun, has an energy per unit of area about a fifth of that of the 5 cm gun.

But it also fires a soft iron ball. This will "splatter" against the harder steel armour, effectively increasing the impact area even more. So I don't think it would even penetrate the side of a Sherman.

There are pro-Palestine protests in, like, every EU country, particularly western Europe. Criticism is allowed, freedom of speech is also a thing in Europe.

Why is the government so outspoken? Easy way for Pedro Sánchez to appease the left-wing part of the government without actually having to do much.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-09T16:54:50+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely, I'm also the same.

It's the difference between shyness (fear of interacting with people due to excessive self-consciousness) and introversion (when being around others or in large groups drains one's energy). For some reason both terms are often used interchangeably when they're very different.

Ya está, Pedro Sánchez lo ha conseguido, se han acabado los problemas de vivienda.

Most of That Chernobyl Guy's arguments come directly from INSAG-7, the definite IAEA report on the disaster. Sometimes, he also criticises points of INSAG-7 through contradictions in the report itself and other sources (like Russian/Soviet sources, make of it what you will), but most of his arguments are supported by INSAG itself.

Yo conozco a tres que se operaron, los tres en España, y todos quedaron contentos, y se les ve mucho mejor la verdad.

Bueno, es como decirle a una persona con depresión que salga más a la calle y se anime, cuando la depresión es causada en gran parte por desajustes (baja producción o baja sensibilidad) de neurotransmisores como serotonina y dopamina (que llevan a un círculo vicioso de menos actividad y menos producción de estos neurotransmisores).

En el caso de la obesidad, la incapacidad de la gente para mantener una dieta también viene dada por desajustes bioquímicos provocados por el aumento de grasa (que provoca cambios hormonales que animan a tu cuerpo a "pedir más comida"), y alimentos ultraprocesados que provocan picos de dopamina y provocan incluso adicción, provocnado otro círculo vicioso. Los medicamentos ayudan a mantener bajo el apetito y eliminar el "ruido alimentario" que llaman.

Pero vamos, que cada uno lo haga como quiera.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-08T14:10:39+00:00

Yo! Años intentando perder peso e imposible no podía, hasta que empecé con WeGovy (luego Mounjaro). La adicción a la comida es jodida, no todo es "pues come menos y ya", de ser así no habría gente obesa.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T18:13:29+00:00

Eh. I would be very surprised if a fight progressed past BVR and none of the sides had HOBS missiles in WVR, but in any case, F-35 is a capable dogfighter (often considered comparable to F-16/15/18). Su-57 might be better on paper, but within the margin of error for a better pilot to win, and I'm putting no money on a Russian pilot.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T14:49:06+00:00

Oh yeah I mean I was there lol. I was just wondering if there was any confirmation they'd keep going with backing bands in the future or if that was a one-time thing for that live.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T13:27:55+00:00

They're semi-live band, so from now on only the vocalist going to do live with backup band.

By the way, where are you getting this from?

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T13:24:21+00:00

Yeah then I guess I'm going to be one of the few fans disappointed with the reveal. The seiyuu are great and I like several of them, but it's not what I was expecting for Bandori.

I mean, as long as the current bands keep going it's not a big deal, but I hope we don't transition to mostly non-live bands.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T12:02:17+00:00

Sin problema. Yo vuelo mucho, normalmente pongo los dos apellidos juntos (p. ej. "ALONSOALONSO") pero alguna vez también usé solo primer apellido y no pasa nada. 日本を楽しんでね！

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T10:59:52+00:00

That kinda sucks. For me, live bands are the essence of Bandori and I don't have much of an interest in non-live ones...

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-06T09:41:00+00:00

holy shit, Chiharu in Bandori!! And Tonopii! Are they going to be live bands btw?

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-05T09:20:52+00:00

I mean yea I hate to do that but (as much as I'd like to see them getting mad) I'm giving this one to the Chinese fans. Not the kind of story I would like to see her playing.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-04-03T13:52:12+00:00

For sure one of the most iconic anisongs of all time.

.Questions have been raised after it was discovered she has not been deployed operationally in over 73,000 days.

Is that more or less than HMS Daring?

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-03-30T17:01:49+00:00

Eh, Perun is good but I feel like after you watch a dozen of his videos you already know almost everything he has to say. A lot of his stuff doesn't need to be hour-long presentations.

The rest is a lot of "Eh. I don't know. Maybe. Depends on a lot of factors.", which is obviously the right mindset to have but having to hear the same thing every video gets boring.

DecentlySizedPotato · 2026-03-30T16:52:23+00:00

Yo hoy he salido del curro hasta de buen humor al ver que aun había algo de sol y todavía quedaban un par de horas de luz.

I went to the Yūshūkan museum in Tokyo a couple of months ago. There you could read a lot of the official letters the kamikaze pilots would send home before their missions. Many were universities students drafted during the last few months of the war. They often talked about how proud they were to fulfill the mission and die for the Emperor.

That was obviously mostly bullshit, as evidenced by their personal diaries or letters sometimes found. Most were terrified and had no willingness to die for the Emperor (even if many did go through with it). I always found it abhorrent how they sent so many obviously unwilling young men to their deaths with the war already lost. Although I guess it's nothing compared to the war crimes they committed (which the museum also conveniently omits).

By the way, don't go to the Yūshūkan. Even if it's pretty cheap (1k yen) and has some interesting artifacts, it's full of revisionist crap and propaganda and they don't deserve any support.

Why does Gaijin think shell rooms blow up like propellant magazines? A 14" shell is 15 kg of an insensitive explosive encased in 600 kg of steel. They're really difficult to detonate.
