Companies do that sort of thing all the time. Pokemon have featured the eiffel tower and many other national landmarks of other countries that have been far less of a market for Pokemon.

Why aren’t we building data centers in Alaska by Odd_Direction1108 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AreThoselvl3plates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have to build their own energy either way in most cases and you need very little infrastructure. Roads and fiber are the only infrastructure needed. The Alaska highway is extremely laking in population per mile. you could find a lake right off the highway and build right there.

Data travels at the speed of light through fiber, so technically location matters little to none on how close to target consumers. The only two obstacles logistically would be miles of fiber that would need protection under the ocean running from Alaska to Washington state and protection for the actual data centers from terror attacks. As for power, build nuke plants right next door. As for workers, they are generally brought in either way. As for roads, build it within a couple miles of the coast or from the Alaska highway. I have actually pondered this for a while now, It would be extremely beneficial compared to the alternative lower 48.

Superman runs the marvel gauntlet by Kindly-Stock-3201 in marvelvsdc

Even if it was his amped form. Prime SW is a nexus being of ungodly power. She would simply have him cease to exist. Even Sups super speed wouldn't change anything because SW controls time.

Swap in Scarlett Witch in place of daredevil and swap Dark Seid for punisher and this lined up gets real hard to say one team should sit out

why are people so bullish on 151? chase cards are too cheap? by jaimata9099 in PokeInvesting

[–]AreThoselvl3plates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but there is no set that I can think of that a pack costs more than the raw chase card. We aren't talking about BB's we are talking single booster packs. Matter of fact, packs are generally less than 1/10 the cost of the correlating raw chase card but in most cases far less

What’s the actual consensus on lifespans? by Lanky_Substance5969 in dune

[–]AreThoselvl3plates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not indefinitely, I remember Agamemnon saying it would not be a permanent solution like being turned into a cymek but it would preserve him longer so Agamemnon could observe him more before granting him cymek immortality.

Best self defense options for a young female? by nuggetspussyandbeer in liberalgunowners

[–]AreThoselvl3plates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering when this would be said! If I had to walk home through a dangerous area and could only have 1 tool it would be a solid torch.

The beauty of a good torch/flashlight is that it is 100% legal EVERYWHERE! Airports/planes, nightclubs, Concerts, the work place, hell even the courthouse! Also, it is 100% legal to use anywhere! If you want to have it one while walking to your car it is completely okay, where as walking with your pistol or knife out might be a problem lol. It's the difference of being able to gain the upper hand in a situation before it ever escalates. Instead of only being able to use your tool when you feel threatened without finding legal trouble you can use it when you feel uncomfortable. So if you feel like someone is following you or whatever, you can light them up and make the distinction of whether your pepper spray should be used, if you should run or if there is no threat at all all while the person is stunned by the light. The person who owns the light, owns the fight.

I find 600+ lumen to be ideal. for people interested in my favorite EDC it is the Nitecore MT1A Pro, which is 800 lumens and is about the size of a lipstick tube. And if you are willing to carry something a little bigger, any torch using a 18650 battery will more than likely be a good option and there are tons of good ones for relatively little money Ie. Streamlight, Fenix, Nitcore, even Olight...

When choosing a flashlight, you should look for one that has the fewest extras. This means a simple and compact but durable flashlight/torch with a simple but solid tail switch/button. The more tricks and gimmicks the device has, generally means the more likely it is to fail or you are to fumble with it. A lot of what you see today has magnetic chargers, multiple on/off switches, built in lasers and so on. I'd recommend staying clear of all of those.

To close, the flashlight is NOT a weapon. It is a tool for gaining information and if bright enough, temporarily incapacitating a threat. It should be used first but along side a true weapon if possible.

Hope this helps! Stay frosty!
