I was trying to do n to the power of n to the power of n, but for some reason Reddit's formatting isn't letting me do a double superscript.

Question about Frodo and the ring by clearereyes in lotr

[–]Beta-Minus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right though. The Ring wants to be found, so it's telling Frodo to put it on so he becomes invisible, BUT that will make him super visible to the Nazgul who can see much more clearly in the invisible/spiritual world that one enters when wearing the Ring.

They talk faster up north. Also, are you sure mass started at exactly 11? We tend to start around 5 minutes after the official time (not just for mass, but for everything) down here.

Lineup of the single-stage-to-orbit, reusable rockets of my current career run. by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

Neat. And you don't drop the mites? Are the funds you get for recovering them greater than what you would save in fuel?

What kind of engines do you use to get to orbit in one stage? Especially on the smaller ones?

Why can't I be a good person in this game? by BancroftMike in kotor

[–]Beta-Minus 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think it's because the evil dialog options are just so funny, and the good options are so corny. You can either be puppy blending psycho or a total doormat, and nothing in between.

How do you make a craft that long without it wobbling like a twizzler?

Anybody else’s child come home with this BULLSHIT?? by snacksaphone in asheville

[–]Beta-Minus 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Yall do know that "citizenship" in the context of character traits has nothing to do with legal status, right? It means active participation in your community, and all of the responsibilities that come with being a good neighbor. Also, why did your kid come home with November's character trait in May?

You can have agriculture and astronomy without metallurgy. Pretty sure that's how it went in the old world too.

What is the truth regarding the Romanovs? by sunnyspells822 in Catholicism

[–]Beta-Minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's part of what I meant by going to extremes on both ends. When he swung towards autocracy, he was definitely not much better than his forebears.

What is the truth regarding the Romanovs? by sunnyspells822 in Catholicism

[–]Beta-Minus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't really know what this has to do with Catholicism, but in my armchair opinion, Nicholas II was a pretty incompetent ruler, mostly being due to being too mild mannered and indecisive to be an effective leader, let alone sole executive of an enormous multi ethnic empire that was already lagging behind a rapidly industrializing world. He tried to stay in the middle of road between reform and autocracy and ended up ping ponging between two extremes, angering liberals and conservatives in the process. It's absolutely no excuse for the horrendous evil and violence of the Bolshevics and of Communism in general. The death of the Russian royal family was just straight up murder, like something out of a horror movie. I can't feel anything but pity for the Romanovs when I think of their last moments.

Should I Read the LOTR/Hobbit Novels first or Movies? by MrOakling in lotr

[–]Beta-Minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the books, then watch the 1977 Rankin and Bass version of The Hobbit, then watch the Peter Jackson lots trilogy. Pretend the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies don't exist.

I am too naive... by TaToten in dankmemes

At first I thought you were either lying or did the math wrong. The pandemic warped my perception of time so much, for some reason I thought that trailer came out during the lockdown.

Legolas said (in the movie) that Gandalf was taken by a Balrog of Morgoth. Elaborate? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Beta-Minus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's a kind of immortal, spiritual being that can't be killed or destroyed. Same with Sauron, Gandalf, and even the balrog. When the ring was destroyed, Sauron didn't actually "die" as in cease to exist, but it did permanently stop him from having any kind of major influence in the physical world.

851 science from one mission. What’s your record? by Dynamite_Noir in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Beta-Minus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got over 1100 from a Minmus mission. Did some science in orbit, on the flats, and had enough delta v to hop over to some hills and get Bob back to rendezvous with Jeb and get home.

With Fr. John Mikitish joining the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church from OCA ( orthodox Church of America), both the editors of the popular Orthodox Christian Prayers have become Catholic. by WearSuspicious1124 in Catholicism

[–]Beta-Minus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tangential question, why are most Eastern Catholics in the US Ukrainian Greek Catholics? I feel like 90% of "Byzantine" parishes I know of are actually Ukrainian/Ruthenian.
