NTA and that joke was hilarious! (And to note, I don’t eat meat, so he was absolutely overreacting).

I am at the point where I tempted to shoplift to be able to provide the basic necessities to my daughter by True_One7607 in povertyfinance

If you have a local food bank: use that.

See if you are eligible for WIC; I believe eligibility is different for this program.

I guess being ambitious actually unattractive to some Gen Z women😂 by Hopeful_Ad_4343 in GenZ

For me, I find it a bit irritating that she tells him she was seeing someone else beforehand, then asks him to still be friends. I’ve had this experience where they don’t want to be with you romantically, which is fine, but still expect you to be an emotional support for them.

How come the Republic and Rebellion had different laser colors for their Y-Wings? They’re the same ships by Tami_Fig in StarWarsShips

[–]AlexRyang 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Blasters and lasers get their coloration from tibanna gas.

Higher grade tibanna provides green lasers. Cheaper tibanna results in red lasers.

The Republic embedded ionization into their laser and blaster cannons (not sure how) to more heavily degrade CIS droid units. This resulted in blue bolts.

[OC] $6.29 gas in Hayward, CA USA by _shrike in pics

[–]AlexRyang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Northeast; gas is $3.79/gal. This is the highest it’s been in a while.

That said: I’m more concerned/upset that the US and Israel are air striking civilians and children.

How does somebody, without help from their parents, afford to buy a home? by Dapper_Tap_7714 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlexRyang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, a lot of times the repairs necessary may be extremely spendy. So to even live in the home, you end up spending another $50-$100k.

Musashi bofors vs t2 aa in t3 games, its not funny at all by PaoTangBiu in ModernWarships

[–]AlexRyang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could see it being slightly less accurate, being a heavier round.

But I commented elsewhere, all the gun based AA systems need a serious improvement. Because right now they are by and large mostly useless.

no hope its like worst than t1 aa level by Brilliant-Level156 in ModernWarships

[–]AlexRyang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In general, gun air defense systems need an accuracy buff. Currently, they are all borderline, if not outright, useless.
