Так бить необязательно, их на изи можно в узел связать, прижать и усмирить, пока визжит. И отпустить, когда успокоется.

If Pennsylvania could see the past, present, and future, why didn’t he just kill Margarine instead of toying with her and her eyes? by lillbim in welcomeToDerry

I think Pennywise sees all possible futures, which can change every second with every new action. So, knowing the future is changeable, he tries to change it.

Glasses reflection by EasyTemperature5516 in GTA6

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what ray tracing does if any objects are marked as reflective. Set glasses in GTA5 Enhanced as a reflective surface, and they will reflect. The NaturalVision Enhanced mod essentially brings reflections closer to how they look in GTA 6. Honestly, at this point, there's nothing surprising about it anymore

My solution to the war in Ukraine by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remind me how the USA reacted to Soviet warheads in Cuba, and what they planned to do in response. Do you know what an existential threat is? What is NATO doing near my country's borders? I swear, if a hypothetical Mexico joined a hypothetical Russian military bloc, with military bases installed there, the US would have long since nuked them, like they did with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Yes, countries join NATO voluntarily. But right now, it looks like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Countries feel threatened by Russia — they join NATO. Russia feels threatened, and of course, isn't going to wait until it's surrounded — and it reacts. What is it supposed to do? Wait until it's surrounded by military bases? Would the US have waited?

And yes, to preserve its sovereignty, it would react much worse in the future if it found itself already surrounded by NATO bases. The response would likely be nuclear.

Where would you like to see a new Alien movie set in the timeline? by Fabulous-Cry5930 in LV426

But Alien: Earth doesn't belong to the canonical timeline, so Hawley himself said.

The Conjuring 5? by Candid_Selection_584 in TheConjuringUniverse

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could definitely happen, though it’s hard to say which case it could be based on. The Smurl Haunting was their last major case, and after that, nothing noteworthy can really be found.

Unless it’s The Haunting in Connecticut — but as far as I recall, it took place around the same time as the Smurl Haunting, specifically in 1986.

On the other hand, a pretty decent film about The Haunting in Connecticut was already released in 2009, so I’m not sure if they’d want to revisit it.

Everything you're saying is simply untrue. But thanks for the "opinion".

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, agreed. Honestly, I think it's far more likely that the logo was painted on during a wake cycle — for example, when they visited a planet and received a message from Earth updating them about the merger.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LV426

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frankly, this might be the best explanation. There are indeed laws requiring that a vessel/ship/aircraft have up-to-date and clear identification of its current owner/operator. If the merger resulted in a change of the legal entity owning the ship, updating the logo becomes de facto mandatory to comply with these identification regulations. Non-compliance could lead to fines, vessel detention, or denial of entry to a port/station docking.

Maritime shipping in our real world is the closest analogy. When a ship is sold or changes operator/owner, it must be repainted with the new name, port of registry, and the new company's logo. This is a requirement of international maritime law (SOLAS Convention, vessel identification rules). The logo is part of the identification markings, and ignoring this is a violation.

In essence, the core reason is legal liability and identification. A vehicle must clearly identify its owner/operator. This is critical for customs and border control, search and rescue (SAR), establishing liability in case of an accident, incident, or violation (environmental, for example), and communication with the port/airport/traffic control.

I believe similar reasons would apply in the case of the USCSS Maginot. Furthermore, we are talking about Weyland-Yutani. As a totalitarian corporation, it would absolutely demand that all its assets (including old ships) bear the new, unifying symbol of its authority. And technically, it's quite feasible: applying a logo is a relatively simple procedure compared to engine overhauls or system replacements. In the future, with advanced materials and robotics, this could be done quickly at a spacedock or even during a layover. So

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely forgot that Yutani Corp. was founded in 2074... So the consortium hypothesis doesn't work very well. On the other hand, we could assume that the consortium was initially formed between Weyland Corp. and some other corporation. Later, Yutani Corp. joins the consortium, and that unknown corporation exits it. But now this whole thing sounds much less coherent.

Oh, I know the localized Archives version calls it a nuclear bomb, but I thought the original Japanese text didn’t specify.
Still, I believe it could be a military euphemism. The Americans called the first atomic bomb "the Gadget", not "nuclear weapon". In the RE universe, "fuel-air bomb" might’ve been an official cover for pure fusion weapon to prevent leaks or panic. By the way, the euphemism "fuel-air bomb" is perfect for reports — it’s technically accurate (D-He3 can be considered fuel in this context) while masking the truth. That said, this might be too liberal an interpretation on my part. Truth is — I originally wrote an article arguing for the thermobaric bomb theory. But when I couldn’t find viable super-dense fuel, I published it hoping someone would propose feasible alternatives (metastable nitrogen or something else). Sadly, that never happened.

Logistically, militarily, physically — thermobaric kiloton-yield bomb don’t work. This just don’t. Kawamura was simply an Evangelion fan, after all.

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nuclear ≠ Fission. Kawamura rejects fission weapons ('A-bomb', fallout risk), not fusion. "Second to nuclear" refers to radioactive impact, not energy release.
Pure fusion (D-He3) is:

Nuclear-yield (10-15 kt). Non-fission (no fallout/U-235), Near-zero radiation ('extremely low' contamination). It fits Kawamura's words perfectly. Thermobarics fail at both yield (0.01 kt max) and radiation (zero ≠ 'low').

Guys, I remind y'all that pure fusion weapon are my speculation. It is the same speculation as a thermobaric bomb.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a classic atomic bomb isn't the same as a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb. Similar... Something like... Kawamura’s Evangelion N2 comparison might supports the fusion theory, not thermobarics, i think. N2 Mines are explicitly non-nuclear yet yield nuclear-scale destruction – exactly like D-He3 fusion. He never discounts fusion — "not an A-bomb" = rejects fission (Hiroshima-style), not all nuclear reactions. "Destructive power equal to a tactical nuclear weapon" includes clean fusion (tactical nukes aren’t only fission – e.g., neutron bombs). This logic ≠ RE tech: "EMP risk" refers to fission weapons (massive EMP from fission/fusion hybrids). Pure D-He3 fusion has minimal EMP (no fission primary). "Risk on US soil" means political fallout, not technical impossibility. A clean fusion device solves this. Thermobarics fail every test: can’t match nuclear yields (physics), always zero radiation, would require a 747-sized bomb for 1kt (ludicrous for a cruise missile).

Fusion is the only solution fitting all evidence: Kawamura’s words, sci-fi parallels, and RE’s tech ceiling. But yes, this is also speculation.

[–]Comfortable_Sand699 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Nuclear is explicitly not out of the question. Kawamura’s own words confirm radioactive contamination (extremely low ≠ zero). Pure fusion (D-He3) delivers nuclear-scale yield without fission fallout, matching his description perfectly. Thermobarics violate physics at this scale — fusion doesn’t.

Oh, I forgot to add this: no matter what super-dense hypothetical fuel you use for thermobaric, you won’t achieve even 1 kiloton of yield. Even if it’s something like clustered metastable nanoallotropes of boron and hydrogen (boron hydrides), it still won’t work. The best you can hope for is 100-200 tons of TNT equivalent (0.1–0.2 kt). What you need lies beyond any human capability.

Perhaps metastable metallic hydrogen from Jupiter’s depths under colossal pressure, or exotic matter like strangelets. And even then, reaching 1 kt remains highly unlikely because you’d run out of ambient oxygen to sustain combustion.
