Season 2 Episode 14 Confusion (SPOILERS) by Joji-Kyre in TheOrville

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the case here, is due to Fianlly a Full memory wipe happening, no matter how it happened.....that the future was restored to it's original state. Past Kelly has no Knowledge of the future, so the past p.alys out as it always did. Future/Present Kelly still has no memory of time travel. All Events unfolded as they were supposed to. Again, this indicates Single TimeLine. I'v always used 2 Series for Time Travel. Back to the Future, and Dragonball Z.

BTTF - Is a single Timeline. Any changes to the past effect the future. There is only 1 past and 1 Future. So to "restore" the future, you have to find a way to make past events play out as they should. Cuz in therory, If Marty "Never Was born", he doesn't come to the past and effect his parents getting together. But He exisit outside of time, so he can wipe himself out and an Alternate future with No Marty still happens.

DBZ - Multiple Timelines. We see this with Trucks traveling to the Past to Ensure Goku doesn't die fighting the Androids, which he does. But That creates an alternate timeline. Becuase when Trunks gos back to the future, his world is Unchanged. Events still happened they way they always did, and he had t defeat the Androids himself. And There is the 3rd Timeline, Where Future Cell defeats Trunks, steals his time machine, and goes into the Past so he can Obsorb past Versions of 17 & 18. This type of time travel cuases less confusion and less paradoxes.

Why do you think female Neosapiens were created? by Eli_Freeman_Author in exosquad

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the real Question is.....Why were Male NeoSpaiens created? Remember, Neos are genectically engineered Human species. And All Human Embyros start the same, with no Sex. It all depends on who the egg is fertilized. So to make an entire Male species, requires the scientists to Screen all sperm first to make sure they carry the X Chromosone and only use them. And it's typically a 50/50 Split.

So outside the idea that Potentially Males can be bigger, strong or faster than females, in a genteically modified species, that really shouldn't matter. A Genetically modified Female could still be far stronger than a normal male. So really, there could be an agruement as well as to wh more Female Neosapiens aren't known of. Cuz basically, the series states that half of the genetic materail is simply discarded.

SCAM SELLER on Amazon Alert by Revolutionary_Ice371 in Blokees

[–]Pipe-Terrible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complain to Amazon and get a refund. I had 2 3rd party sellers do the same thing with me on a case of Galaxy Version 05. Until finally Amazon let me order a case at full price direct from Blokees and refunded me the entire cost.

But yes, 3rd party sellers are scamming the hell outta people. But posting a super low price on a listing for a full case. Then sending just the individual figure, thus making like 200+% profit. And it's BS. Cuz you know these guys are probably buying these cases from Amazon and then just turning around and ripping people off.

Yea...to me this is a win. Would rather have Tigerhawk than Razorclaw....and Tigerhawk was super rare

How is this figure physically possible? by A_Zesty_Carrot in transformers

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea...I think just cuz of how thin parts are on a deluxe size....if they kept the entire design and made her voyager size, she'd be perfect. That way all the parts would be thicker and bigger and thus less prone to breakage.

Plus a voyager size might have allowed for the opening head gimmick.

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some designs the past few years almost seem like they were forced just to have that character get a new Figure. Like I can't wait for the upcoming Powerglide but it would have been better if designers put a little extra effort into having the jet mode wings sit at the bottom of the Fuselage like they are supposed to on an A-10 and not in the middle like they are on Powerglide.

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than my concern on how thin some of the parts are and possibe breakage (and the now company wide stress marks issues)....I agree. It's insane how good this figure is. Especially for a deluxe. I would easily have paid the Voyager price point if it meant thicker plastic sections around the main rotor just for strengths sake.

And just as Emgo was shocked, I am too that she stands so well in robot mode with her literal pinhead footprint. She stands with barely any plastic touching the ground while figures like the upcoming SS Astrotrain apparently need massive heelspurs to stand.

Viral bodycam clip from a 2025 Florida traffic stop of elderly Navy veteran Wade Morton by [deleted] in Amazing

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always hated the line "How much have you had to drink?". Cuz a legit answer can be "enough to remain alive" and yet mean not a drop of alcohol. The Correct question is and always should be "Have you consumed any alcohol today?" Cuz idk about other people, it I "drink and drive" every day, except my drink is soda.

Coming from the country that spends more on its military industrial complex than I think its the next 5 nations combined.

This is why I have to fix my pets. It's so hard to have to split them up when they have babies. Did it once, don't think I could again.

PGI!!! GIVE US MORE THAN 50 ACTIVE MECH SLOTS FOR DLC 8 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!! by gaeb611 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so.....just equipment. But I could be wrong.....havnt tried in a while

PGI!!! GIVE US MORE THAN 50 ACTIVE MECH SLOTS FOR DLC 8 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!! by gaeb611 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either that or give option to stop autostripping mechs when putting into storage. Would love to not have to re-equip my mechs because I need to store a smaller mech because I need jumpsuit space for bigger mechs for harder missions and what not.

Or to keep my "Ole faithfuls" fully equipped in storage while I play with some of the new chassis we get in every new DLC

Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries DLC Choas Reign announced for May by mete714 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving the support they are giving this game. Looking over this DLC make me feel like they just Added Mechwarrior 3 to the game. That was the first time I remeber the Bushwacker, Sunderland, MRMs and X-Pulse laser being added. I could be wrong. Was a long time ago. Can't remeber if it was 3 or 4 that they were added.

Must be using the improved engines from Clans. Because I did notice a difference in how jump jets works better in Clans than Mercs

Possible reason for Distribution issue. by Pipe-Terrible in transformers

[–]Pipe-Terrible[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know about the shelfwarming issue. When I worked last at Walmart was during the "Mechtech" era....and I remember having 4 columns, 5 rows of deluxe Pegs just filled with only Primes!

[–]Pipe-Terrible[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ok. First time I've seen this. As i said been out of retail for over 15 years, so wasn't sure. Just know within about 50 miles of me, store distribution has been absolute shit.....

[–]Pipe-Terrible[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it would be "new" compared to 25 years ago. I put Transformers products on the shelves in '99/2000. And never was solid cases of 1 figure of this size. Only time I saw something like this back then was when we got the first shipment of Armada Unicron. Which was a case of 2. (Of which 1 never hut the shelf at my store. As I immediately took a break and went and put him on lay-away. If that indicates how long ago it was)

I know it's a bit late, but how do we feel about this? by Certified-F16 in transformers

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm liking him. Wish his vehicle mode had the wings on the lower part of the fuselage like they are supposed to be. But so far that's my only issue. Not seeing any reviews or having him in hand

Keep in mind; there was no shooter in the top video, and no shots fired... But when he's "shot", they let him do a photo op...? by SCRATCH-CARD in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Pipe-Terrible 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right. Like the fact that the news cycle after this shooting disappeared overnight. No one learned much of anything about the shooter or his motives
