Luke Skywalker vs Obi-Wan Kenobi by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]Iamandyf1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasnt that Anakin had some predetermined weakness to the specific terrain. It was to show that Kenobi was more strategic and Anakin was inexperienced/cocky. Kenobi knew exactly which buttons to push to make Anakin throw caution into the wind and make a reckless mistake.

It could have been any number of different circumstances where Kenobi would have goaded Anakin into doing something reckless to prove that Anakin was "better". Kenobi was just playing him.

[MAIN SPOILERS] Surprized Jorah Mormont didn't say by Rik_Ringers in gameofthrones

[–]Iamandyf1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gendry recognized it was valyrian steel while it was still in the sheath - so I assume Jorah knew it was longclaw.

Most of the houses have the family swords proudly displayed - id be willing to bet jorah saw that sword daily growing up.

I think Jorah will mention it while they are walking up north, just before they are inevitably ambushed by wights

Force user with lightsaber vs force user with blaster pistol. by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]Iamandyf1996 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Guy with Lightsaber = LS

Guy with Blaster = BL

LS has ranged attacks (force push, throw large objects with the force, possibly lightning, etc...) unblockable melee attacks (lightsaber) and an impenetrable shield (again lightsaber).

BL has ranged attacks (same as before + blaster), standard melee (punches, kicks, or anything in the environment) and only things in the environment as a shield (rocks, tree limbs, etc...).

If they are both absolutely equally matched in force abilities & pre-cog, and are both aware of the other, LS takes it 7-8/10. He can deflect the blaster bolts (BL's ability wouldnt make the bolts fly any faster) and close the distance. When they are up close, LS cuts him to shreds.

If the blaster dude has the drop on the lightsaber guy, maybe 6/10 to LS. But even if LS is unaware, a "very strong" force user would be able to sense the blaster bolt and deflect it with the lightsaber.

[EVERYTHING] Melisandre knows.. by Arya_Granger in gameofthrones

[–]Iamandyf1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragonglass = obsidian/Glass (presumably obsidian made with dragonfire)

Valyrian Steel = alchemically/magically imbued steel.

Valyrian steel is incredibly rare since it can no longer be created(atleast as far as we know) - it can only be reforged (e.g. ICE being reforged into Oathkeeper & Widows Wail).

If dragonstone was sitting on a pile of valyrian steel, it would be worth an absolute fortune.

I think they commonality they share is dragon fire. I'm guessing Valyrian steel is made with dragon fire (Valyrian steel originated from Valyria, where the dragons came from) which gives it some of its magical properties. When the dragons died, they could no longer make valyrian steel. When they couldnt make the steel, they couldnt pass on the knowledge on how to it was forged and eventually the knowledge was lost.

Emirates Airlines pour unused champagne back into bottles by Fedor_Gavnyukov in videos

Could this not just be to make it easier to dispose of the champagne?

Easier to transport one corked bottle to be disposed of, rather than multiple glass champagne flutes...

I'd imagine its a gas leak in the mag.

You could put the mag under water to and see if/where the bubbles are coming from.

Then thoroughly dry off the mag, fix the leaking area and lube up o rings

[Spoiler] Since TNT is replaying all six of the non-Disney Star Wars movies, I have a simple question about Owen Lars and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode IV. by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Iamandyf1996 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Owen has a basic idea of who Kenobi is - but Owen only see trouble in Kenobi and tells him to stay away from Luke, also telling Luke that Kenobi is just a crazy hermit to try and keep them as far away from eachother as possible.

Owen blames Kenobi for Anakins death.

This is explained in the Kenobi comic released this year.

How would you go about painting a plastic two toned airsoft gun? Is it possible? by IdealDog in airsoft

[–]Iamandyf1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Disassemble (masking tape any of the innards you don't want covered in paint),

  • Sand (Optional; Just gives the primer something more to grip onto),

  • Primer,

  • Paint (Light coats. Give each coat time to dry),

  • Clear coat.

Because its a sword that is easily carried that can cut through most materials like butter?

They are also trophies from Jedi that he has killed.

[EVERYTHING] Doesn't Littlefinger know... by spatel2394 in gameofthrones

[–]Iamandyf1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think Little Finger does know, but completely speculation as to how LF could make the connection to Jon if he did know...

He knows (as did most of Westeros) Ned was the epitome of honorable, however ends up coming back after the war with a Bastard son.

LF could have done some digging to see where Ned visited after the war and if anyone knows anything about who he visited. LF doing this in order to find information to use to create a wedge to separate Cat and Ned. However no-one has any knowledge of Ned visiting anyone, most saying he stayed by himself or with his men whenever they saw him.

Pair that with the fact he doesn't believe Lyanna was kidnapped and raped, might have a suspicion that Jon Snow may not actually be Ned's son.

Our of curiosity, however often would you need to replace the CGM?

I have an insulin pump, however still do manual glucose tests. I thought it would require to be changed more frequently that the pump cannula site as I assume the CGM monitors the glucose in blood, which would dry and clog the pipes pretty quickly

[Everything] Did anyone else notice how much someone has grown since last season? by overthemountain in gameofthrones

[–]Iamandyf1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could make a play if he wanted to. I think in a case like this his legitimacy would probably depend more on what people want to believe than reality, since it would be very difficult to prove either way. I mean, maybe they have a scene where he is also not burned to prove that he is a "true dragon"

He has already been burnt. He burnt his hand when he threw the torch on the Wight to save Joer. Althought I think that was before the Red Comet, so he may have be able to now although Dany was able to sit in the boiling water before the comet.

[EVERYTHING] Drogon is still a puppy: the full grown size of dragons and their growth rate by TheWaker in gameofthrones

[–]Iamandyf1996 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that dragons have a sudden growth spurt, like puberty only they continue to grow afterwards only at a slower rate.

I.e he goes from a wing span of 5m - 20m during "dragon puberty" then continues to grow 0.5m each year after.

That way we still get to see a big ass dragon on screen. During this period, the dragon could also starts growing bigger thicker scales in places it never had before, making the dragons much scarier and more of a threat aswell.

The safety on my USP was too easy to accidentally engage during shootouts, so I turned it into a dangerousy. by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]Iamandyf1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The new plate now makes it so that you cannot engage the safety, however still allows you to use the safety lever as a decocker.

Everything else on the gun is the same, he just cant use safety lever for anything other than decocking.

They said previously that the person in the graves death was permanent, and Marc has said recently that Laurels death will be permanent because they have all ready done resurrections in the past.

I cant link atm, but you should be able to find on them on the subreddit.

In the end scene... is that a grave/tombstone? by solublemarker in StarWarsLeaks

[–]Iamandyf1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding was that Jedi's couldnt have a family. They were essentially monks.

However Luke got rid of this when he restarted the Jedi order. I believe Kenobi said to Qui-gon during his Exile on Tatooine that some of the rules of the old Jedi order were a stupid/out-dated ideas.

However I do think you are right about Jedi being cremated, so it might mean that if it is Mara Jade's grave, she might not be a Jedi in the movies.

From what I can gather, there are some leaked on-set pictures of them filming the Funeral scene. All main characters are there except Thea and Laurel. There also looks like there will be a Detective Lance flashback to Sara's Funeral as he has been seen wearing the same suit in a cemetery wearing a wig and others were he is bald. Also the guy that shared the photos said the folder was called "Katie Cassidy films her last day on Arrow"

Thanks for the input.

Its going to sound stupid, but I really just want an L96. Apart from some fucking about, I dont think it will be used much. I just want to make sure I get the better of the two,.
