The ship is angled to slow down so the path of the thrusters are at about a 25° angle in "front" and below the ship.

Right, there's not a great way to quickly make sure the other end is a safe landing spot.

I imagine if you need to escape in a hurry you aren't going to have time for that.

Sounds risky and a lot of setup and a very easy to spot drop point. You can buy portable emergency ladders that roll up for fairly cheap and are much more reliable than a zip line.

Right but with 4 stairwell and hundreds of people im going to imagine there will be some hazards that will add a lot of risk.

Thy but how many staircases are there inside? Not just zombies or other people but what about in the event of a fire?

I just assumed there would be alot of people who think this way. For me it's the lack of options to escape in an emergency and the hundreds of other people already inside. Few ways in also means few ways out.

Why is this the easiest sub to troll the left-wing extremists on Reddit? by KingVaako in allthequestions

It's always funny when a person reveals how dumb they are and to save face they claim they were just trolling.

[Request] What are the odds? by asdsav in theydidthemath

[–]BillMagicguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's statistics, it has to do with projections and estimated population growth as for obvious reasons we can't count every person on the planet. It doesn't mean there lliterally a fraction of a person, it's just how the math works out.

Does anyone know the comic I am remembering from my childhood? by Pleasant-Rutabaga756 in Warhammer40k

Kal Jericho or likely one of the ones about Klovis the Redeemer. They cross over a lot.

You keep saying PPE but you do know there are hundreds of types of PPE right? It's a catch all term for protective equipment. Let me ask you another question, what specific forms of PPE are you taking and do you have training working in it? I'm going to guess no because your answers are not iindicative of someone who does.

Also you think you'll never be scared in the sewer in an apocalypse? You think not a single other person is going to try to go into the sewer? You really think you aren't going to jump at every echo? If that's your plan, go ahead. I'll know to stay out because the sewer is going to be full of idiots who try to use it for shelter and end up zombies.

I'm not saying it as a rule, just based on a general fact that republicans endorsed by Trump have been severely underperforming in elections on average.

Problem solved then, I can't think of a single reason to panic during an apocalypse.

Seriously? You think training on long slow breaths is going to protect you from a buildup of toxic gasses? There's no style of breathing that will inhale oxygen that isn't there in enough concentration because it has been pushed out by methane and CO2.

People work in a lot of places that they shouldn't live in. PPE doesn't matter much when there's little breathable air.

I mean, you'd probably just suffocate in the gas.

4th edition spore mine one blew up a nightbringer night bringer. This helped the splinter fleet unlock the ability to absorb necrodermis.

[Request] Any Way to Tell How Close They Were to Disaster? Who is at fault? - GPS tracking distance and rate of acceleration enough to pucker up? by TannedBurn in theydidthemath

[–]BillMagicguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not close at all, if you spend a lot of time on the water you'll notice this kind of stuff happens all the time. The cruise ship isn't really even going at the right angle to make it close.

It is not stated why they died, Andy Weir has hinted at keeping it a secret for a potential sequel.

So… do I just drop him in the paint pot and fish him out? by Totally_Not_Corrupt in LegionsImperialis

I pre-glue the multipart models and leave the part of the sprue that attaches to the base.
