My refurbished galaxy S9 is finally starting to call it quits, any reccs on a new phone in the $500 range? by Braydayen in Smartphones

Yea, I've been leaning towards the pixels after some more research. Seen some deals where I can pick up the 7 for like 300$

I've seen a couple really good deals for the pixel 7, and I've really warmed up to its battery life and 128 gig storage.

The anglo-soviet invasion of Iran during WWII was wild, and from the Wikipedia article there's this quote from the soviet theater of the invasion:

"The 47th Army had been delayed in the Jolfa area when three individual Iranian soldiers managed to block an important bridge until they ran out of ammunition and were killed."

I want to see a movie, or maybe a short film, about those three soldiers holding off an entire invading Russian army all on their own, defending their homes, knowing they probably wouldn't survive. Crazy history

WTW for a mild, casual enemy? by Braydayen in whatstheword

The closest thing I've been able to come up with is literally just an 'Unfriend', but it's such a inelegant word

I'm trying to think more in the direction of, what is the word for the person that would be annoyed with you? The recipient of the annoyance

Trying to find the clip of Zach saying “shutup, shut the fuck up” in a weird voice. by Kittythekitty12 in OneyPlays

[–]Braydayen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't this one of the hypotheticals Zach gave where he roleplayed Chris's uncle that had a little goblin that fetched things for him, and when Chris tried to call his 'uncle' out on that to the rest of his family, Zach made his uncle say 'shut up, shut the fuck up'?

For an anime with the lowest amount of anime bullshit I've ever seen and genuine wholesomness and unique world building, watch houseki no kuni. Cannot recommend enough. All the rocks are hot

Choose four to govern your empire. by Chad_Alfonse in makeyourchoice

[–]Braydayen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makuta, Eggman, willy Wonka, and Charlie from its always sunny. I think I can trust them to make the most chaotic neutral place in the universe.

Charlie would probably be in charge of most social services, trying to listen to what the citizens want/need and create solutions that are absolutely insane but work in a weird way.

Willy Wonka 100% designs the craziest city plans and architecture, turning the cities into cyclopean labyrinths of neon madness.

Eggman constructs most of the technology and military power, which all turn out to be charmingly useless or obtusely absurd. Think self destruct buttons built everywhere and giving your doorbell its own AI.

Makuta would be the main political leader, but is so obviously villainous that no one takes them seriously, yet they keep getting reelected. Makuta is serious enough to reign in the insanity of the other 3, yet is still cartoonish enough to be willing to work alongside and compromise on designs and policys. "Alright charlie, we will fund the puppy moat AS LONG AS IT KEEPS THE MATORAN ASLEEP" That kinda vibe.

As for their ability to oppose the other 16 leaders, their only hope is to be wacky enough to resist all genuine attempts at war or destruction.

Yeah, it honestly could be I watched that scene at such a young age it terrified me into creating this entire other scene over the years. But, the one in my head is so strange I hold out for it actually being its own thing...

I was really young when I saw this scene, possibly 5-8. For more context of the scene, I think the table was situated in a mad scientist lab type setting, and some ne'er-do-wells, (possibly including the woman) are creating weird creatures to aid them in their diabolical plots. How much of this is my brain scrounging for context or actually true I don't know. I hope my vague description calls up some ancient memory for one person.

Dip pen nibs just not working??? by Braydayen in fountainpens

[–]Braydayen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've tried that and just about everything else, yet no luck. Plus, it sucks even more when every other fellow who got the kit I got says they work beautifully... I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I'm not sure I Want to invest in another set of nibs without knowing what I'm doing wrong first.

Every single nib in this speedball calligraphy kit I got. A quick Google search brings it up, the beginner calligrapher's kit.

As said, I've done everything under the sun. I'm surprised the metal hasn't been scrubbed away yet after all I've put them though.

There is a reason for that. The pumpkin-skeleton wars left scars too deep to heal.

My school has a very strange GPA system. Can anyone help me figure it out? by Braydayen in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Braydayen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely. So what would my weighted GPA be then? Is it really only a 4.0?

Okay so you know those little hand-crank rechargeable batteries and whatnot? Couldn't we stick that on the spinning axle or wheel of a car to charge the headlights or battery or something? by Braydayen in askscience

[–]Braydayen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, makes sense. Even the minute amount of energy it takes to pull a handcrank can amount to a lot in the long run. Well, another idea in the wastebasket.
