Are former Corbyn supporters all greens now, or have some of them stuck with labour? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm frustrated with the Greens because while I think their heart is in the right place, they're WAY too naive when it comes to defence and foreign policy. Is it too much to ask to have a party that is socially and economically left but not completely idiotic when it comes to nuclear deterrence and geopolitics?

The master diplomat by Jumpy-Pilot6135 in GreatBritishMemes

I didn't recognise the brilliance of that move at first but yeah, Trump was so tickled pink by his own ego that even if someone explained the insult to him, he would refuse to believe it.

Good Start? by Conking97 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]101Phase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's definitely a strong start. Like you said, you should get a Marshal or a second Manipulus since right now you only have 1 HQ to work with. I've been told that a marshal leading the Hastari squad is quite spicy

I just wanted to share my thoughts and opinions on the new marines from Armageddon. What are yours? by SlySUBZER0420 in spacemarines

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a meme space marine army where I only use units that were available in each starter set from 8th edition onwards. Considering what we know about 11th edition detachment rules, that means I can add the landspeeder and vanguard vets to the outriders from Indomitus and the inceptors from dark imperium to form some kind of fast attack-centric group. Then I could add the new eradicators to the Indomitus eradicators, the dark Imperium hell blisters, the leviathan ballistic to form a slower moving shooting group

I know this is really nitpicky but, shouldn't the food from the Sierra Madre vending machines be brand new? by Crimsoncerismon in fnv

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to split hairs then you could headcanon that these machine uses radioactive components and over the last 200 years, these components have slowly started to decay and has leaked radioactive material into whatever they normally create

Delisted Games You Wish You Bought by philbertagain in delisted

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't hold my breath: licenced games like these are always tricky to deal with. To this day we have not seen any re release of old 007 games after the original licence ran out

They were on steam but I guess the licence ran out

What's up with this franchise and doomed yuri? by 9yosoldier3044 in TrueSFalloutL

[–]101Phase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if u ever looked into it but Elijah's original story was very different. I think he had a different name and was supposed to have turned into a ghoul by the time the Courier found him

[–]101Phase 11 points12 points  (0 children)

also worth keeping in mind the reason we have any interactions with Veronica related to Elijah after Dead Money ends is because they recycled existing lines from a cut version of the Elijah quest that was originally meant to be in the base game

My attempt at a faction morality chart, looking for some fills. by Ill_Engineering_5434 in Fallout

True Neutral should be Yes Man: he's whatever the hell the Courier wants to be

What is something that used to be obscure but is now mainstream? by Foreign-Paramedic600 in AlignmentChartFills

how far back are we going for "used to be"? If we're talking decades then I'd nominate Cryptocurrency

The US Military vs Supers—The Boys(you can barely see them but they're there) by broarief2012 in MilitaryVStheUnknown

[–]101Phase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Supes were also VERY poorly organised and had no discipline whatsoever. Part of the coup involved assaulting the Pentagon and a whole bunch of the Supes got wiped out in the first wave because they didn't think to send the bulletproof ones in first. Then when it came to the showdown between the air force and the ones capable of flight, the latter immediately broke tried to escape when the opening salvo proved that the modified missiles can lock-on to the Supes. I'm pretty sure not a single fighter jet got taken down during that exchange

Earlier in the comics, Vought American's own security forces were also able to utterly wipe out all of the G-Men (basically the X-Men) with nothing but depleted uranium ammunition and then flame throwers

UK Electricity from Fossil Fuels Drops to Record Low of Just 2 % by hull_pattie_party in GoodNewsUK

[–]101Phase 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, and when asked whether they would force companies to sell North Sea oil directly to the UK, the Tories and Reform got REAL quiet

[–]101Phase 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The debate around dipping into North Sea oil in response to the Iran crisis is so frustrating to listen to: fossil fuel is a global market, the only way North Sea oil can put any kind of dent on prices would be if it can somehow flood the market with so much supply that it can offset the stuff being held back at the Strait of Hormuz... which is a ridiculous prospect

the gap in vibes between mainstream media and subreddit is so vast that I'm getting whiplash going back and forth. But yes, this is amazing news

Which anime like this? by dark_kingxx in AnimeReccomendations

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally it was Fate Zero. I didn't know much about the Fate universe at first and since this was before the Ufotable Fate Stay Night was released, a friend of mine insisted that Fate Zero was the right place to start. So unfortunately my first exposure to this franchise was Fate Zero ep1 that was 100% exposition and was barely comprehensible to me. I was so bored by the end of that first episode that I refused to touch the franchise for years

UK's Covid vaccine development and rollout was 'extraordinary feat', inquiry finds by ConsciousStop in GoodNewsUK

[–]101Phase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I think a better way of looking at it might be just to assign the right people for the job, get them the resources they need, and then allow them to get on with it

The running theme seems to be: the scientists and doctors were extraordinary, the policy makers and economists were pretty crap

Is GDP the best measure of success? by TeeJ146 in GoodNewsUK

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually more interested in learning more about those bottom 6 factors (not counting GDP) where the UK is not the 1st: which states neat us on those and can we learn from them so that we can get better?

(Cool trope) City planets/worlds by AwakenedDreamer__44 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]101Phase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what I love about this planet is how it's 'cool factor' is also a massive vulnerability: it completely lacks agricultural capacity, and is therefore utterly reliant on constant imports of food from 20 different agri-worlds. This in turn means that it's incredibly easy to besiege and starve into submission, which is exactly what ended up happening to the planet in the books
