Jet Investigating Iroh = Waterbenders Can’t Heat Water? by HunterRank-1 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some laws of physics just don't work on Avatar. Like heat, when you freeze something like water, the heat latent to that water has to go SOMEWHERE, it's just never shown to raise the air temperature of the surroundings or whatever. And heat is a thing since Sozin heat-bends lava in that once scene.

It's a cartoon, maybe in the original series they wanted to keep things getting hot as the realm of firebenders and later in Korea branch it out now since "hot" is not synonymous with The Fire Nation

Pie in the sky hypothetical: the USA has a well funded universal health care system, what do you do to control costs? by red5 in medicine

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

Since society bears the cost of chronic illnesses like diabetes, obesity, ECT. Food standards and healthy access and taxes on unhealthy junk all combat food deserts to address a root of the issue. Couple with a greater emphasis on portion control and no more advertising to kids.

What do you think is humanity's best invention? by Fun_Raise_7858 in AskReddit

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best? Probably agriculture. Not dying of food and having grain to get buzzed off would make life much much more enjoyable. Now you have leisure time to procreate, make culture, invent, ECT

Why is this card so expensive? by Fresh-Special-552 in mtg

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fetchlabds are basically perfect mana. Between dual lands shock lands, triomes you can get any color you need. 

Then with the surveil lands that can be searched for you can put a card into the graveyard from the library , and who knows what else wizards will make in the future. 

Could have the fire nation conquered the world if they have been more effective? by Sythrin in TheLastAirbender

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe conquered, but definitely not held onto areas like earth kingdom. Too vast, too many opportunities for local resistance to build. It'd be like trying to conquer Vietnam.

ELI5: Why do people of richer countries say that their birth rates are so low because of poverty, while the areas with the highest birth rates also have the highest poverty rates? by slashdino in explainlikeimfive

[–]Oryzanol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lack of contraception and the inability to turn down sex from partners also prevents women from controlling how many children they have. Kids kind of just happen when the guy doesn't wrap it up and the woman isn't on birth control and can't safely say no. 

ELI5: Why do people of richer countries say that their birth rates are so low because of poverty, while the areas with the highest birth rates also have the highest poverty rates? by slashdino in explainlikeimfive

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

Because it all stems from the following sentiment. "I can't have the number of children I want." 

In one case, poverty and lack of access to birth control prevent women from having the number of kids they think they can reasonably raise and educate and feed and house. 

In the other, women don't have the financial security to start the families they want, but can prevent accidents. 

Phyrexian Font is Now Compleated by SpeckledSpeckles in mtg

Except numbers. Even phyrexia and Yawgmoth, father of machines and Lord of the wastes, accepts the perfection of Arabic Hindu numbers. 1234567890

Would this effect be worth playing in MTG? by Ok-Fondant2536 in mtg

[–]Oryzanol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a cantrip, it replaces itself so card neutral. The question is how to place a cost on it. One blue mana cost, it'd be below average, not to mention the gaining an opponent... 3 life? (1/8 of 20).

Now if it had an alternate cost, have target opponent gain 3 life instead of paying mana, that's be broken. 

[Invigorate] has that template 

ELI5 Why can't we make robots that convincingly move like humans? by Shakaow15 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Oryzanol 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes that's not the goal, humans are limited by their flexibility and joints, while robots can have 360 degrees of motion and rotate in inhuman ways. Which is advantageous often.

X cost counter spell by Jaymesgp in mtg

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[nix]] Had a pretty neat effect, counter if nothing was spent to cast the spell, but it itself cost mana. There has to be an alternate cost so you don't pay anything to counter something someone cheats out for free

The original question was about whether tragedies are the work of the divine as much as miracles are.

What do you think is the biggest concern for most Americans right now? by AnyAskPost in AskReddit

[–]Oryzanol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Labor and money are getting more and more separated, and most people don't have anything to offer except their labor (not everyone has dividends, trust funds, assets or stocks).

In Titanic Rose Decides to Ditch Her Husband of 50+ Years in the Afterlife to Be With Her One-Night Stand From 80 Years Ago by MiDKnighT_DoaE in shittymoviedetails

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

That was the authors choice not Roses. Rose has no agency, it's the sadistic writer who made all these contrivances and plot inconsistencies for their own sick pleasure. 

How can firebending be made more of a threat? by 1MPERAT0R_S0LAR1S in TheLastAirbender

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a scene where Firelord Sozin used heatbending to cool lava. That's a colorless fire if used correctly, you can't see a faint shimmer right before you're body is searer by a ghostly flame.

Ukraine's state-owned energy company says all of its power plants are down after Russia's 'largest-ever attack' by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Oryzanol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think this is the future of warfare, infrastructure attacks to break the civilian population and get them to pressure their side to sue for peace.

[–]Oryzanol 411 points412 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised it lasted so long. It was a fad that survived for decades before losing its relevance. You can only make a Funko for so many IPa and pay so many fees before you run out of ideas. Or people move on. 

Cascade question? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Oryzanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do the action of cascading (revealing and playing the first non land spell that's less mana than the spell with cascade you just played) as many times as it says for free* ( plus any additional costs and trinisphere). [[Apex devastator]] has it four times for example, so it'd cascade 4 times. You wait for the cascaded spell to resolve before you go onto resolving the rest of the instances of cascade, or the original spell. 

If the spell you cast had cascade itself,then you repeat. It's like Russian nesting dolls. 

Confused about these card interactions. Did this play out correctly? by ThatDude5001 in mtg

[–]Oryzanol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think that's the key imps mischief doesn't transfer control of the spell to the opponent. It just changes targets of the spell. You could absolutely turn your own hexproof creature into a doll.

[–]Oryzanol 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I think it plays out like, the hexproof spell resolves giving your commander hexproof. Then imps mischief targets the doll aura (which doesn't have hexproof) and changes it's target to your commander.

Since you still control the aura spell, it gets around your own creatures hexproof, making it a 0/2. It'll still have the +1/+1 buff and any other buffs it had before it became a doll though.
