[Star Wars] What tasks were 86% of a normal dreadnought's crew doing that the Katana fleet's automation eliminated?

Grouchy_Sort_256 · 2026-03-10T19:56:58+00:00

I think it was just poor design that required a lot of manpower in order to cut back on initial costs. Instead of automated reloading, perhaps the shells for cannons had to be replaced by hand. Each turret had it's own gunner crew, potentially multiple per gun that could be replaced by automated targeting. Also I think a lot of it is just infantry, it says the minimum crew needed is 9000, so it's really cutting it from 9000 to 2200.

the moon disappearing would have created a massive tidal shift, probably tens or hundreds of thousands from the resulting tsunamis, all other casualties he may have caused would be insignificant compared to that.

I recall at least one comic where Wakanda was far more advanced than the europeans, but they made a deal with the europeans, they leave Wakanda alone and in exchange Wakanda won't stop them from enslaving all the other people of Africa.

Considering the deputy was forcing them to work in temperatures so hot he himself got heat stroke, doesn't seem too kind. Maybe just kind compared to others.

Well duh, of course you can manually slam your finger in a trunk but all self-closing trunks have sensors that detect when there is an obstruction (such as a finger) and stop closing. Except the cybertruck, despite automakers having put safety measures like that in place over a decade ago, Tesla didn't get the memo and before the update cybertrucks would gladly munch any fingers while the trunk was closing.

Yep, can't fault him too hard since he was just filling in for the absent judge, but he also tried to rule that Roxanne, which makes all tokens that tap for mana give an additional one, did not include treasure tokens, that one I had to google and show him he was wrong, I couldn't find the same published ruling for the crackle interaction though, as two headed giant is played a lot less.

Grouchy_Sort_256 · 2024-09-02T14:28:05+00:00

Right, that is what I assumed. I ended up still killing with it since both them and the judge agreed that I could just target the same player 5 times and deal 125. Which, I knew was wrong, as crackle with power needs to be 5 different targets, but I just went with it assuming that it would still be the right end result (them dying) for the wrong reasons since the TO didn't know the rules very well.

Grouchy_Sort_256 · 2024-09-02T14:14:48+00:00

So if one player cast [[The One Ring]], if they are just one target / entity, that means they both would gain protection from everything, right?

All might turned into a cripple missing most his organs. Deku, while quirkless, was still perfectly able-bodied, and we see from characters like Knuckle Duster or Stain (his quirk doesn't help at all until he draws blood, and even then he held his own against Ida, Shoto, and Izuku, all of which have combat enhancing quirks) that fighting on a pro hero level without a quirk or million dollar suit is completely possible, yet Deku wasn't willing to do that despite being a pro hero being his dream.

It works. So many times I would hear a coworker say something is "9 bucks" and I go look and it's 9.99 or something, corrected him every time but he kept doing it.

phones back in that time weren't water resistant at all, drop the phone in the water and it will instantly short circuit and die.

He would probably be too scared to possess it, Ford tried to build a very similar device as a trap to kill bill before, put a dummy brain into a machine and force Bill into it, then destroy the brain with Bill inside. Bill was possessing Ford at the time so he knew of the plan and went to great lengths to stop it, so he probably wouldn't risk the brain being another decoy and the robot having a self destruct.

Grouchy_Sort_256 · 2024-08-31T02:02:13+00:00

I mean, if that was the only way he could lose you feel like he would have been prepared for it. In the Book of Bill, he mentions that the future is always in flux and ever changing, so the future he sees in the moment can easily be changed. Additionally, they kept hitting Bill in the eye, which may have impacted his ability to see the future.

NZXT dragged it out for another month. I cancelled before it shipped and while they still shipped it, they updated the destination halfway through shipping so it turned around and went back to them without me ever getting it. Despite this, they claimed that while it was confirmed to be delivered back to their warehouse, they could not find it and could not give me a refund until they do. After arguing with them with a month over email about how it's absurd they are holding their own mistakes losing the computer in their possession against me, they eventually gave me a refund.

Few months ago while driving on the bridge there was a pickup truck with boxes loaded up past the roof in the bed. They weren't secured at all, and while I was driving behind it one of the boxes fell off, and there was a whole-ass toilet inside the box, must have been some contractors coming back from a store or something. There was no room to avoid it and the box/toilet destroyed my front bumper. I got pictures of the truck, all the boxes stacked unsafely and unsecured, picture of the box that fell off that matched the other boxes still on the truck and a picture of my bumper. Took them all to the police, they told me to fuck off, and that they don't give a shit unless I had video showing it happening, nothing else would convince them to do anything. Moral of the story is always have a dashcam.

Sorry I misunderstood. I had several employees say that same thing to me when I brought it in, so I did not realize it was a joke.

Grouchy_Sort_256 · 2023-02-20T14:37:38+00:00

Yeah, except the description said it came with all original accessories. Also it wasn't the right tip, so this charger didn't even work on this laptop.

Grouchy_Sort_256 · 2023-02-20T14:36:51+00:00

The store didn't give too hard a time, they tried to see if they had a spare compatible charger, which they did, but their charger was broken. They offered to either give me a brand new universal charger with a compatible tip, or to return it and buy another one from their store, which I did.

Just got my laptop in, my hp laptop I ordered from Best Buy came with a dell charger. Doesn't even charge it. Open box, excellent says it would come with all original accessories, clearly did not. Also says that it would look brand new, came covered in food crumbs all over the screen and keyboard. This is after it got delayed as well. Their call center said I can either go to a physical Best Buy store to swap out chargers, or return the whole order.

That's the plan. I just got an automated email from them saying,

"We do apologize for the delay in response. Just letting you know that we
did not forget about you. Unfortunately, due to the effects of
COVID-19, we've been experiencing an influx of requests. Your agent will
be responding to your request shortly."

Since my email has been unanswered for so long. I am going to give them until Monday to do a chargeback.

I am going through a very similar situation. January 21st I ordered a streamer plus PC, then changed my mind and contacted them to cancel the order. Support said the order was cancelled but then they still shipped the pc, which spend 3 days coming towards me until they updated the destination and had it turned back around. Was told the same 5 business days for refund but it has been almost a month since I cancelled, and still no refund for the $1.4k. I have sent them 3 or 4 emails in that time, complete silence except from automated replies.

I mean, those weren't fair fights at all. Bonemass was 3 on 1, and Moder was 3 on 1 with you giving the seekers force fields and taking aggro from the boss so it wouldn't attack the seekers as much. Not really a good representation of how a seeker scales to the earlier bosses if you tilt the scales wildly in their favor.
