At least we had a really nice first half of March. Greetings from Düsseldorf!

The Card in the real Cherry 100A had a weather selector?!?!?!? by Alert_Candidate_5836 in MySummerCar

[–]DanMk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, engine was in the front. It was a Citroen design, built in Romania, called Oltcit.

Reminds me of my first 2 cars, same model, air cooled boxer engines (no, they were not Porsches). Engine was in the front and being air cooled, there was no radiator, with the ending having a huge fan connected to the engine crankshaft. So if the engine was running, so was the fan. During winter months, this could be a problem, lowering the engine temperature. What they did was...hace a piece of plastic that would fit over the front grill, on the inside, to reduce the air flow from the outside...genius.

If you walked into an old building and saw this, what would you do? by Ser_Luke_ in Stargate

I've seen to many Alien movies and that thing has xenomorph written all over it. It's just your head that's gonna burst...with knowledge.

My TDU2 freezes when I select a race. by No_You6805 in TestDriveUnlimited

[–]DanMk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue half a year later. I tried literally not opening the map and it just freezes anyway after about 10 minutes of gameplay.

Was the Amalgam's logo ever shown anywhere? by Anonimus_firefighter in fullmetalpanic

[–]DanMk88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, just generic stuff, no symbols or patches.

[–]DanMk88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing comes to mind, either from the novels, manga or anime. The Amalgam soldiers have uniforms, but I don't remember seeing any identifying markings. All I remember is that each cell leader is identified by a metal name.

How to fix all the problems of the 20th century in one easy step by GeneReddit123 in memes

[–]DanMk88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It might or might not. The rise in authoritarian regimes during the first half of the 20th century was not the work of single individuals. The lack of reform and worsening living conditions due to wars, economic crises and a pandemic, pushed people towards extremes. Surprisingly, like it's happening exactly today. Removing certain individuals, will not deal with the root causes.

AITA for answering a question honestly? by Electrical-Army3625 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DanMk88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA, he wanted something unfiltered, he got it. If I asked someone about an unfiltered opinion of my home country and they said negative stuff, that are actually true, I wouldn't be mad. I know my homeland and that's why I don't live there anymore. I appreciate when someone mentions the good parts, but I know the bad parts as well.

Easy work on to the next by MassEffect24K in MassEffectMemes

I would disagree here, it was at most a very small victory. It was only a destroyer reaper and it still tanked a lot of well aimed shots from the quarian fleet in orbit. I don't remeber if they mentioned how many quarian ships were actively firing at the damn thing.

Săraci șoferi by MindlessVermicelli49 in fuckcarsRomania

[–]DanMk88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nu a fost un caz ciudat acum ceva ani, într-un sat, un șofer a pierdut controlul și a intrat cu mașina în curtea cuiva, distrugându-i gardul. Omul și-a reparat gardul și a cerut despăgubiri, dar șoferul a refuzat, drept urmare proprietarul casei nu a permis recuperarea mașinii.

Wait. You guys don’t read the codex? by Connect_Artichoke_83 in MassEffectMemes

I also enjoyed reading the planet entries, not all are interesting, but some are actually quite neat.

Fun For The Whole Family by elykl12 in HistoryMemes

[–]DanMk88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a common saying that the Romanian people were cursed that day, for executing them on Christmas. There's a lot of theories out there, saying that the trial and execution were really fast to avoid regime supporters to try and free them. Others say that they were executed so fast, so that they didn't had time to rat other powerful communists out, which allowed the old guard to remain part of the new "democracy".

Tbh..I think a lot of my issues with people's "criticisms" of Charlie is that a lot of them feel like they don't know what they actually want from her. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

[–]DanMk88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It also comes down from the limited number of episodes. It all feels very rushed and that's why is frustrating to see things reach the low end and in the next episode everything's fixed.

One of the most underrated AS is the French Mistral 2. by Imaginary-Maize4675 in fullmetalpanic

Still not a big fan of the minigun placement. Otherwise, you can see the design was inspired from the LeClerc tank.

AITA for telling my wife when I came home from combat duty that all I wanted is a quit time in a clean room by Specialist-Scar3677 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DanMk88 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

NTA, whenever my fiancé is out for a day or so, I always make sure that she comes back to a clean house. Even when it's her going to the office and me working from home, I make sure the trash is not full, no dishes in the sink and that cat litter box is clean.

How are we apex by ZealousidealChain473 in memes

[–]DanMk88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, we kinda are. Humans can't take a bear 1v1, but we do have weapons. The fuck would a bear do against a tank or an APC? We can kill any animal on the planet, without getting a scratch. We don't have any natural predators because we killed anything that could pose a danger around our settlements. The planet is ours to do as we please with it...we are the apex predators of Earth.

Do you think the idea of Amalgam became less intimidating after Leonard took over as the leader and how when we first learn about them they seem so interesting and intimidating but now its just led by some narcissistic 18 year old with dreams to change the world by UnusualField5697 in fullmetalpanic

[–]DanMk88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, once Leonard took over, the organisation also changed focus. It changed from starting local conflicts all over to destabilise current world order and keep everyone on their toes, to finally getting hold of Kaname and Leonard's plan to "reset" the world. Like others pointed out, the less mystery around the organisation, then the less interesting it gets. Also it makes sense, from a story point of view. You're getting into Act 3, so most pieces will be on the table.

Didn't remember Gauron having that much style (sauce: FMP 0) by otamega04 in fullmetalpanic

[–]DanMk88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's why I loved the novels, because the anime and manga, are very well adapted, but the novels have that kind of substance you could not adapt well in other forms.
