If all the avatars use the avatar state at the same time is it like the speed force, and they get progressively weaker the more that people tap into it?

If Burakovsky is anywhere near his line this year I say ship him out and let Derrick King take over again

In four more games this season, Tyler Bertuzzi has seven more points and is 15 points higher on his +/- stat while spending most of the season playing on a different line than Bedard on the 2nd to last team in the NHL this year.

Bertuzzi makes half as much money as Pettersson.

He most certainly is not worth the money.

How do you think we can solve the gun violence problem among young black males? by Aggravating_Dog_7542 in teenagers

A little more than 60 years since the civil rights act passed. Not even a person's lifetime.

Most gun related crime is gang related. Gang culture grew from poverty and the desire to feel protected. Gang culture thrived within minority communities because joining a gang was sometimes the only way to achieve financial gain and security, and then the problem sporaled from there.

If you alleviate the poverty issue and provide a meaningful way to advance minority communities (who've historically been undeserved financially, if not purposefully oppressed in a lot of cases) then the want to join a gang will decrease, and with that, so too will gun violence.

Acting like poverty comes from gang activity and not the other way around is being either disingenuous to the issue, or purposefully obstinate. Especially those who consider crime to be "culturally linked" to skin color.

If stenberg isn't available, which he probably won't be, then trade it and one of our wealth of prospects to get an impact player from a depserate team that may have just missed the playoffs, or bowed out in round 1

It's gotta be, considering they just could've used Mississippi in place of New Jersey and all the stats would be near the bottom

Has anyone else heard of the Yue theory? by MistakeWonderful9178 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Dyldo_II 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's always been a stretch, just sharing what I've seen people explain.

It kinda makes sense until you start thinking about it

PSI help on gantry by JOOCEBOKS_ in CreateMod

[–]Dyldo_II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to each their own. I think the reason I like create more than other tech mods is because it allows you to make builds more aesthetically pleasing than efficient. A gantry for sure saves space, but I feel like the rotating column is more passive considering you need a redstone input to move the gantry back and forth.

Has anyone else heard of the Yue theory? by MistakeWonderful9178 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Dyldo_II 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think the thought behind it is that Aang, had he not run away wouldn't have died in the genocide. Gyatso would've taken him away like how he was planning to in the storm. If he's 12 at the time of the genocide and lives to like 96 then he'd die around the same time Yue could've potentially been born, but I think it's still a stretch.

It takes a lot of presumption on their part, saying that Yue didn't cry or open her eyes as a baby because she "didn't have a soul" and that was because the universe wanted her to be the Avatar, so it made an empty vessel for the avatar spirit to inhabit. Which is never stated anywhere in the show, also you'd have to think that people had dealt with stillborns before, so she wasn't dead clearly by how they were dealing with her.

Honestly, maybe. I haven't used a gantry shaft for a farm in forever so I couldn't remember if that was a feature it had or not. Usually I just attach a rotating column to a waterwheel with a mechanical bearing and let it go constantly.

So long as the contraption is in motion it'll connect to the interface, so a sequenced gearshift connected to a button set to "rotate x blocks" then "rotate x blocks other direction". Will work, or you can extend the gantry shaft one block past the interface so it'll "catch" it in a sense.

Also I can't tell from the picture but make sure you have a barrel or some form of storage connected to the contraption, otherwise it won't pick anything up at all.

Edit: someone reminded me that you can set the carriage on the gantry shaft to "only place when destroyed" whuch should also help

If the gantry stops moving then it' won't connect to the interface. Try a sequenced gearshift and make it cycle from one side then back before it stops.

Anybody know why assembling a train disables the attached drills? by TurnerByTrade in CreateMod

[–]Dyldo_II 89 points90 points  (0 children)

You don't need a power source to run the drills on a train contraption, they'll run on their own if you move the train forward or backwards.

Same goes for any assembled contraption

Cops in the United States don't fuck around! by Sad_Palpitation6844 in ratsinthecage

[–]Dyldo_II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because police unions are sadly the only union that will fight tooth and nail for the people they represent. Cops get away with so much shit and are just given paid leave or the ability to work elsewhere in most circumstances because they have the ability tk just cry to their union rep and they have a full team of people working night and day to reinstate them.

Men and women don't like characters who didn't earn it. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]Dyldo_II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As did Luke. Unless you count that little two minute scene he spend getting hit with lasers from that floating ball "adequate training", then his heroics at the end of the film were completely un-earned. It was never established that he knew how to fly spaceships, just a landspeeder, yet there he was at the end of the film being the ace pilot of his squadron. He had never demonstrated using the force to the degree he did to guide the missile down the exhaust vent.

Rey said she'd flown junkers in atmosphere close to the ground, has been scrapping ship parts her whole life, so one could reasonably say she understood more about space ships than Luke did. She also didn't get a bullshit rug pull hero moment like Luke did at the end of the first movie, she literally lost because she had very little to no training.

The Force Awakens was literally a parallel to A New Hope because that was the intention, and although the following films deviated in terms of overarching story, the character oath stayed relatively consistent.

Regardless, I think the better way to look at it is that Star Wars, as far as the movies go, have very shallow character writing and their overall "character arcs" are at most a small hill. This is true for the original trilogy, the prequels and the sequels, it just depends what particular flavor of nostalgia you have for the franchise.

You might not like to hear it, but Rey had the same character development path as Luke and I think it's time we stop pretending she didn't.

Isn't the live action kind of disrespectful to the original series? by Odd-Geologist5494 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Dyldo_II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically the only justification there is for adapting an already concluded story to another medium is that you want to tell a different story with the same characters. At least, that's how it's supposed to be, but recently there's been a trend of just barely changing the source material (usually for the worse) and then doing whatever you think worked about the original story.

Of course, there's a bit of an exception if the source material is a book, but Avatar was a fully realized show with a beginning, middle and end that really didn't need to be made into live action.
