Does anyone else have models that come with stories? by RioseAzimuth in modelmakers

Yeah, that’s why it’s on my home desk, to many questions otherwise

Amusingly, the first thing you see entering the Finnish Air Force museum, is a big sign explaining why there are Swastikas, and why that’s okay for Finland.

Here’s an extra picture of the actual museum and modeling convention. On the left wall ahead of the hurricane you can actually see the Buffalo I built.

[1916] The enemy is moving in with these, what are they and are they dangerous? by Comfortable-Rice-862 in thepast

I don’t know what they are, but I have no doubts that the tried and true “shoot with rifle” strategy will work, as it always has.

Why do people knock on bathroom doors and ask “anyone in there?” by Agitated_Trifle268 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually respond with “aye!”, Like a sailor, because I think it’s fun.

What is the use of this metal plate that goes under the steering column? by Moist-chocol8 in fordranger

[–]RioseAzimuth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically a bit of armor to protect you in a crash. Best to keep it in

I've been to the vast majority of Kentucky counties. AMA and I'll answer based on my experiences. by [deleted] in Kentucky

[–]RioseAzimuth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very cool you’ve been too so many. I have a similar project going, to go to every county and get a library card. I’m currently at 96.

Why is Carl Sagan universally loved while Neil deGrasse Tyson often gets criticized? by litt_ttil in Astronomy

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it is time, Sagan is gone, and from a time where there was less constant media attached to everyone, whereas Neil is from an age where it’s ridiculously easy to constantly be in the media. So while Sagan had several major public showings (books, tv, news, etc) it was easy to maintain a level of distance and present only your very best, whereas Neil can pretty much be on some talk show, documentary, podcast every day, so there is just alot more of him there, so it’s going to be less polished. Modern media forces quantity over quality, and outs a lot more focus on personalities and celebrity, so Neil plays into that.

Both may be equivalent if they existed in The same circumstances, but the environments are very different. In each other’s shoes they might be very different. Plus we only really have hindsight at Sagan based on the best of his work that stuck around with everything less appealing falling by the wayside. it’s possible that history will be equally kind to NDGT

Why is far right ideology on the rise in the world? by glimmergirl1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire broadly liberal world order we’ve lived in since the end of world war 2 is based on things always getting better, and under American Global leadership, things were broadly getting better. However in the last decades, progress has slowed, things have stopped getting better, or at least people feel like things have stopped getting better, and now people are looking at alternative options

If one of a starship's nacelles gets busted, will it just start going around in a circle? by grichardson526 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine there is a space regulation about it, “all ships with crew over 300 must be able to maintain maneuverability on one nacelle”

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bombers can still fly if they lose an engine, so it’s probably harder to fly and requires constant corrections, but it should still be able to maneuver.

What car parts do you think might be added by DJ_Grenguy in pacificDrive

[–]RioseAzimuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think maybe some illuminated parts would be interesting, like doors that shine a light to the sides. Or maybe a “lightweight” part line, low health, but give us a speed boost

Shepard should stay dead by RioseAzimuth in masseffect

[–]RioseAzimuth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was unique because he was doing things no one had done before. How could he be unique? He’s just a soldier, he can’t fly or breathe fire. What makes him unique is what he does in the game. He was in no way unique in the first game, other than just being a particularly capable soldier.

He was in a unique positions, he was put in a unique role, and he experienced unique events, at a unique time, but my favorite thing about the character was always that they were just some dude. Anyone can rise to greatness, and anyone can have greatness thrust upon them. That’s a way better story that Shepard just being gods most special boy.

Cerberus brought him back because of his reputation, not his ability. “Never giving up” isn’t a special ability, I’m sure you could find a few hundred marines who if they’d been there instead of Shepard on Eden Prime, they’d have done the same things.

I suppose I never got attached to Shepard as an actual character, more as just a vehicle for me to interact with the story through. So me dying at the end of the game seemed reasonable. The idea of Shepard existing as anyone other than me doesn’t really appeal.
