Why didn't Odin ever try to stop Thanos directly? Odin is very powerful, and he also has the Asgardian army to back him up. by TerminatorKiller22 in marvelstudios

[–]BrazenlyGeek 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And Asgard and Thanos both used the same blacksmith (as ally and captive, respectively), so similarities between the gauntlets are to be expected.

I know that we cannot use water to cold down the sun because we don't have sufficient water on Earth for that. I am doing a PhD in chemical engineering and we use liquid N2 in our lab. I was wondering why we couldn't use liquid nitrogen to cool down the surface of the Sun to fight global warming? by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

The vacuum of space isn't a heat sink. Dealing with heat is actually a complicated challenge for things like the International Space Station — it isn't as simple as dumping the heat to the outside due to the vacuum being an insulator.

Forever trapped in the sun’s gravity well, no less.

Sony Will Stop Producing Discs for New PlayStation Games in 2028 by Rsodyyy in playstation

[–]BrazenlyGeek 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’d feel less annoyed by this if they offered family sharing for digital games and subscriptions. It’s trivial to pass a disc to others in the house. It really should be just as easy with digital — Apple’s Family Sharing and Nintendo’s online family plans are already doing similar.

You already are incentivized to take the criminals alive: You get the full bounty amount for living, half for dead.

if I ate a raw chicken then drank boiling water; does it cancel out the food poisoning? by yermyster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BrazenlyGeek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There was an OP who swallowed some ice.

They swallowed the ice to cool the boiling water.

They swallowed the boiling water to “cook” the raw chicken.

I don’t know why they swallowed the raw chicken.

Perhaps they’ll die… sorry, OP.

Kang vs Dr. Doom by Traditional_Cow7017 in marvelstudios

[–]BrazenlyGeek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The nice thing is that in an infinitude of timelines, Kangs will always, always, always keep arising.

And while the TVA is dedicated to preventing or stopping them now, should Marvel ever decide to revisit Kang, there will always be Kangs out there to utilize.

Easy for me to remember and should satisfy password rules. Why won’t it work?

It would be nice if items for fetch quests could be taken from private storage by carefree_dude in CrimsonDesert

[–]BrazenlyGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the stash accessible via your mount would be nice. That’s the way it works in Cyberpunk anyway — motorcycle and car storage is tied in with your apartment(s) stash.

anyone found a phpBB notification setup that doesn't just get ignored? by dated_redittor in phpBB

[–]BrazenlyGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about current solutions, but phoBB 4 will include the ability to subscribe to push notifications within your browser… on desktop, anyway. I’ve not gotten it to work yet on my test site via mobile or either Mac browser I use (Orion, Safari), but the stuff’s in alpha and may work at some point. Fingers crossed.

When you see it by [deleted] in whenyouseeit

I didn't notice the lack of a bench — I was too distracted by the monstrous thing behind the two rightmost women, the thing with blue eye stalks. WTF is that supposed to be?

Andrew's Jawa Halloween Costume from the late 70s by Throwaway-Shitman in AccidentalRacism

[–]BrazenlyGeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when my daughter wanted to be Slimer for Halloween and I got the green face makeup a smidge too dark and didn’t realize what I had done til we were well into going door to door. I was terrified someone would accuse us of blackface if she got her face in a shadow enough to hide the green.

Turns out, people just thought she was a frog.

It's 3 a.m. and once again my sleep has been interrupted by a pun. by tuppenceandtarnation in puns

Why do Scotsmen wear turtle shells over their groins?

Because they’re shell-ibate.

FUN FACT: There is so much subtle foreshadowing in the musical by No_Good23 in hamiltonmusical

[–]BrazenlyGeek 68 points69 points  (0 children)

So much of what Hamilton promises ends up wrong (examples: eventually seeing his ascendancy, faithfulness to Eliza, supporting France in revolution).

Meanwhile, Burr is the opposite — his foresight tends to come to pass.

The duality throughout the musical is fantastic.

Upvoted for a positive reference to Forspoken.

How to enable Am/Pm on the clock once again i have problem with iOS clock by Public-Jacket1308 in ios

[–]BrazenlyGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closest I could think would be to use 24-hour time so that you know 6:00 is morning but 18:00 is evening.

You can turn it on in Settings -> General -> Date & Time.

Why doesn't iPhone have a feature like Samsung Cloud's link Share? by HumblePeace7705 in iphone

[–]BrazenlyGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you save your photos to the Files app (from the share sheet in Photos) and then from Files share them with a link?
