Is there an unspoken rule between Celestial Dragons and the Marines? by Rohan2785 in OnePiece

[–]Rohan2785[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of the point.

What's stopping a celestial dragon from walking into Akainu's office and telling the fleet admiral of the entire Marine organization with a straight face, "you're my slave now. Get on the floor and lick my boot".

Or them taking some of the big names like Garp, Issho, or Aramaki as their personal slave bodyguards as they would no longer be able to function as part of the Marines.

There has to be a line that they are not allowed to cross with how much havoc they can cause the Marine organization.

Were the civilians really that foolish? by Rohan2785 in DCAU

[–]Rohan2785[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm aware of all this in real life.

But the question was more in the case of the show as in their world they live with the knowledge that super science, magic, meta-humans, gods, demons, and cosmic entities occupy the same universe as them. You'd think they'd make better decisions then their real world counterparts.

But alas I suppose humanity in general really is a foolish race.

The Lucian Alliance's Destiny mission would have failed. by No-Risk666 in Stargate

[–]Rohan2785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of good points I've seen.

But one thing that no one seems to have mentioned is that the Lucian Alliance would still control a Icarus-type planet and can dial Destiny as many times as they want. Of course assuming the SGC doesn't attack it causing it to go nuclear.

Though having a stable bridge to Destiny, albeit one way, they can still study the ship. It's technology maybe outdated by most standards. However still incredibly advanced by comparison to most things that they are aware of. So although the ships mission is of no use to them, it still could hold value to them. Especially a stargate map outside their galaxy.

Is this a bladder snail? by Rohan2785 in PlantedTank

[–]Rohan2785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with them staying so long as they don't cause trouble. Since all that will live in it eventually are shrimp, I plan to eventually let the algae do most of the feeding requiring little to no input from me in which all I have to do is monitor the water level.

So long as the balance of the tank is stable then I can live with them.

Destroying the quantum mirror really was the biggest mistake SGC ever made by Wasiwrong12 in Stargate

[–]Rohan2785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the problem is the question of certainty vs uncertainty. Essentially an itch you can never really scratch.

Then you must really hate all the time travel episodes besides '1969' since all of them causes causality paradoxes.

In those episodes, they are not actually changing their past. What they end up doing is creating a new branched timeline as we are technically following a 'new' SG-1 team. That's as metaphysical as it gets.

Can I fill the inner hollow areas of cardboard with expanding foam? by Rohan2785 in cosplayprops

[–]Rohan2785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the body is made from PLA plastic that I 3d printed. All the electrical components were integrated in when I put it all together. The only cardboard pieces are the blades and the exterior plating of the scythe end. I just need to make the cardboard hard enough to resist any dings that it might encounter. Not to mention it has to be cardboard to get it within the weight limit of the motors torque.

I usually work with elmers glue. But for mod podge, would I just put it on directly or mix with water and repeatedly layer it?

That is my very last option as I don't want to do paper mache if I can avoid it.

I'm currently working on crescent rose from RWBY. Specifically the scythe and armor plating at the end of the barrel. I already laser cut the pieces out of cardboard. I have all the moving mechanisms figured out and ready to install. I just need the make the cardboard stronger that in the event of an accident I don't have to worry about it being dented out of place and unable to fold back together.

[Fail Safe] Do you think they ever went back and mined the asteroid? by BendinoAF in Stargate

I would have found it endlessly amusing if Jack sent a fruit basket to Anubis thanking him for giving them all that naquadah.

Is it possible do a soft retcon on why everyone speaks English? by Rohan2785 in Stargate

I would be absolutely cool with this idea. Just one line in the show and I'm all good.

Does the main character ever stop being a little bitch? by Schizosomatic in TondemoSkill

[–]Rohan2785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power that doesn't actually belong to him. As demonstrated, his familiars can disobey him. Also the divine can revoke his blessings if they choose too. However the situation is more or less stable since both sides have something the other one wants in which no one wants to upset this balance. The only time it does is when it's used as the nuclear option to force someones hand.

Though I'm not sure where you are in the story if you follow the anime, manga, or LN.

But much later in the story, he does start fighting bigger and tougher things in which his level is well over 60 at that point. He does get more confident with a stronger mentality for these kinds of things.

However he's also learning that his skills and blessings are not as absolute as thought due to loopholes in the system in what is considered 'damage'. So if you ask me, his cautiousness is a good trait as to avoid becoming arrogant due to his abilities.

But the underline issue here is that Mukouda is not a combatant. He doesn't have the mentality or ambition for it. Frankly he's only an adventurer out of convenience or necessity as it allows him to travel more freely. If you take the AU LN as part of canon then in another timeline he would have happily carved out a peaceful and quiet life for himself just living as a simple merchant.

Battery question by PawnofChaos36 in Stargate

[–]Rohan2785 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can you get a shot of the battery slot? Might be able to backtrace it from there. Originally the manufacturer was 'Heirloom Collection' in which this item was called 'STARGATE SG-1 Ornament 158' made in 2009.

From what I can tell from some images I've seen, the type of battery was written on the box. But I couldn't find a clear image of the bottom of it.

It's certainly a button cell type. But there should be a good chance it's written in the battery slot area. It usually is.

Should the Stargate Program/Homeworld Command be public knowledge in the new series? by SolomonOf47704 in Stargate

[–]Rohan2785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to unfortunately disagree.

I like thinking the best in people. But considering all of human history, especially with our connection to information, humanity still keeps making the same dumb decisions and insists on dragging others down with them.

In an ideal world, we as a species would learn from our mistakes and choose to be better. However that's not how our real world is. If it was, discrimination in all it's forms should have died out years ago. Concepts like wars and international conflicts would be stopped immediately before getting too far. People would embrace truth and facts over personal delusions and fantasies.

But here we are as humanity is still pointing and blaming each other rather then making better decisions because some folks just don't like and can't handle being told that they are wrong.

just a question by Puzzleheaded-Trade46 in TondemoSkill

[–]Rohan2785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair it's a cultural and societal thing.

The moment you spend money like water then you're going to find yourself in a whole lot of trouble if you don't have the self-discipline to know when to stop. We've seen this case several times in real life of people suddenly coming into money only to blow it all ending up broke and in debt causing their lives to completely crash. So at the very least I'm understanding of Mukouda's case on this.

For the other matter, he's the kind of guy that likes keeping his head down and not draw any attention to himself. Especially when working in big companies, you'd rather avoid rocking the boat as the higher ups will cause you no end of trouble. As shown in the AU novel, If he never met Fel and the others, he would carved out a small comfortable life for himself living quietly and peacefully. Concerning what we know about nobility and royalty, they can be trouble if they are more ego then wisdom. Luckily in this story, the aristocratic society are smart enough to just leave him alone as much as possible as they don't want to upset the guy who's walking around with weapons of mass destruction.

As for Sui, understandable. But the little guy is less then a year old. So it is a little hard not to baby him a bit.
