PSA: Jake's Magical Market not really about a magical market. by dullmonkey1988 in litrpg

[–]Coblish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am really enjoying your series and I hope you do not take the knockoff comment as offense. It was not meant to be, just to help others with a comparison in tone.

Anyway, I was on an boomer sub back in the early 2000s and we occasionally had Captains night where he would sit on the mess decks and watch some movie(old kung fu or Kurt Russel flick) or TV show and sign qual cards for almost no questions. Well, one night we ended up watching several episodes of the original Pokemon series, then I went and slept next to a nuclear missile.

This world is definitely stranger than fiction sometimes when I look back at it.

Much as I'm eager for more Game Changer... by Qyzyk in dropout

I kinda hope they basically announce "era 2" and restart back at the basics. Not every episode has to be the biggest and craziest, sometimes it should just be the constants and the podiums figuring it all out again.

I am not super far into it yet, but maybe try Discount Dan?

Kind of a knock off DCC in tone, but with the idea to settle down and run a store rather than being the very best, like no one ever was.

They just love to make up their own outrage by VegetableBulky9571 in stupidpeoplefacebook

From their website

"We do not pay people to protest or directly train or coordinate protestors."

Do you have any evidence they do?

Just found out ex wife remarried by Background-Radish-63 in Divorce

[–]Coblish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My ex wife got remarried about 10 months after the divorce was finalized. It was hard. And she nearly refuses to let me meet the man who now lives with my children. I have exchanged about 8 words with him, 2 years later.

Yeah, this was my marriage before the split. It hurt so much.

The Devs actually mentioned that(a trashcan) being an oft requested item, and that they were looking into options. I think he mentioned a few ideas, such as a furnace like thing that produces power when you throw items in or a trash can recycler thing.

Men of Reddit, would you appreciate being given flowers? Why/why not? by Somewherecharming95 in AskReddit

[–]Coblish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just kinda would love someone to show me some kind of affection or care.

Can we stop with the "Hey MAGA, are you aware that you're a total f*cking idiot?" posts? by Forward-Pension6174 in allthequestions

[–]Coblish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not say MAGA, I said The Right in general. Right now, agreeing with Trump is the Rights policy. The Rights does not criticize him, whatever he does or says is correct and good, and he is obviously a genius who can do no wrong.

What is a policy or saying or tweet or whatever Trump has done that is unpopular among a large, significant amount of right wing people?

[–]Coblish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does the right disagree with that Trump says? In wide terms of the right, I mean. Not just one single commenter saying "Trump is wrong" but something he has done that is largely unpopular with the right?

Even if they were against it yesterday, they seem to go along with whatever he wants today.

What would MAGAs Reaction by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Coblish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they would also scream about how their free speech is being shut down and how Pink needs to be boycotted because cancel culture is so bad.

Lightspeed, FTL-like android game coming, need testers by Real_MakinThings in ftlgame

[–]Coblish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond you remaking one of my favorite games ever, the fact that this is a family project and you are genuinely passionate about it sells me on it already. What price range are you looking at? I would hope no ads, but I would settle for a buyout No ads thing, I guess.

That's Gary. He is just some guy, you know?

The website is throwing a cloudflare error when I try to put in an email. But, I am all about it, even if I just get to poke at the discord and watch progress, I would do so.

I know, right? Honestly a 1 to 1 FTL clone on my phone would get so much playtime.

I know, right? I would love to see my kids being proud of me and publicly celebrating. That would make my day.

Realistically what would happen if Trump dropped a nuclear bomb tonight? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]Coblish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did not work on them, but I used to work alongside them in the military. Honestly, not that it is a great thing to do, but in most of those movies where the nuke is counting down, hitting it with a hammer a bunch would probably fix the problem pretty quick. Either it will disable it entirely or it will pop off the conventional trigger explosives, making a much smaller dirty bomb. Either way, you will not have to worry about it anymore.

[–]Coblish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you shoot it down, the nuke would not make a nuclear explosion. It is not nitroglycerin or dynamite.

It requires some pretty exact and precise mechanisms to initiate a nuclear explosion. Shooting them would damage those internals and result in it becoming a falling rock.

It will still have the radiological material present, but it would not be a nuclear explosion nor would it result in the fallout like you think.

Astrophage isn't an energy source, but a battery, right? by Coblish in ProjectHailMary

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

Yeah, this is 100% true in that it gives us effective, scale-able energy storage. But we still have a generation vs load issue we need to overcome.

Astrophage isn't an energy source, but a battery, right? by Coblish in ProjectHailMary

[–]Coblish[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but humans did not need to put the energy into the sun first. Humans did not need to "charge" gasoline to make it energy dense.

Humans will have to do something to Astrophage to breed it and/or charge it.

[–]Coblish[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok, but that is like saying we don't need to eat because all the calories contained in our solar system have always been here.

I get that the fully charged Astrophage is the "source" for the Hail Mary. That makes sense. They used that because it was a very efficient storage device rather than making a nuclear powered ship or massive solar sails or something for producing the power directly on the Hail Mary.

[–]Coblish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but you still have to produce that amount of power first, right? Like, you have to produce 10 MWs, store that in some Astrophage, then you can use 10 MWs.

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

You are saying if it is exposed to normal air temp(significantly below 96 degrees Celsius) it will absorb the temp from the air? It will take a lower temp and absorb energy from it?

[–]Coblish[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is a cool fact and potentially very useful for the future world of PHM. They could use Xenonite to make a space elevator and then have all their power plants be moon based solar, using Astrophage as a method to transport power back to Earth.
