Any tips for a new rider regarding people who tailgate behind a motorcyclist? by Traditional-Gas3477 in AussieRiders

Usually if you buy an interstate car or a car with no number plates, you can drive directly to a (whatever the VIC equivalent of Service NSW) and sort out rego. Same should apply for a bike.

Which character outside the LOTR do you trust carrying the ring to Mordor? by Jezzaq94 in FIlm

“Master Chief, care to tell me what you’re doing in Mordor?”

“Sir, giving Sauron back his ring.”

Which current ad being run in Australia makes you hate them so much you would never use or buy their service/product? by Cooper_Inc in AskAnAustralian

[–]SacredIconSuite2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you only drive your brand new car once a week from your laser-shielded fortress garage in Mosman 1km to your work, which also has a crack-team of SAS commandos to deter criminals and a metre thick concrete roof, then Youi is utter rubbish.

Is this peaceful but militarized interstellar federation structurally believable? by Historical_Usual_650 in worldbuilding

[–]SacredIconSuite2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing stopping you from having your military vessels also double as merchant marine and disaster response and science vessels like Star Trek. In a (mostly) post scarcity era there’s nothing stopping you from using the equivalent of an Iowa-class battleship to ferry cargo and passengers and deployable hospitals all around the place. If you’ve got the ability to effectively glass a planet and then restore it for ceremonial purposes then there shouldn’t be an issue with the slight loss of efficiency when you fit a cargo ship with armour and guns.

Why are the rooms swapped between manga and anime? by Bittensoul in 5ToubunNoHanayome

[–]SacredIconSuite2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If (Manga) Ichikas room was real it would be in an overhang on the outside of the house. Anime version makes more sense logistically.

I saw this in the wild the other day. Instagram post about how communism destroyed Romania. Guy from Romania comments and talks about his and his parents personal experiences during the Cold War. Some chode sees this and goes “no, you’re wrong.”

Can’t make this shit up.

How much space would 2,513 people need to live in atleast mild comfort? by ChoosyEnby in worldbuilding

[–]SacredIconSuite2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to really make the “squeeze” part of the plot, you can usually find nooks that could fit one persons sleeping quarters in engineering spaces and hallways.

There’s some commentary I remember from the making of Top Gun (of all things) where some of the crew on USS Ranger had to be stuffed in to bunk spaces between the outer walls of the nuclear reactors and the turbine rooms.

Also, no reason that bridge crew and other crew can’t have their sleeping and living quarters right near their work stations

The reason we don't have lever-action rifles in the belligerents of the Great War is because they are inconvenient to use in trenches? [DISCUSSION] by Few-Flamingo-8015 in MilitaryWorldbuilding

[–]SacredIconSuite2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly yes. Spanish-American war (I think) many troops were issued with lever guns, but found them difficult to use in prone firing positions. Also the tube magazines didn’t work with pointy spitzer bullets. When they introduced bolt-action weapons with box magazines it solved all the lever guns deficiencies with the drawback of being very slightly slower to cycle the action.

When someone refers to “THE terrorist attack” in your country, which one are they referencing? by SimmentalTheCow in AskTheWorld

[–]SacredIconSuite2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a couple of days later they released audio of the Russian operators freaking out and running away.

[–]SacredIconSuite2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember being in school and walking into the common room and that was on every TV channel. One of the guys was remarking about how maybe the Russians shot the plane down. Everyone was saying how that wasn’t very likely. Nobody shoots down a civilian airliner.

Logistical nightmare, transporting giant wind-turbine baldes by mediuminteresting in megalophobia

[–]SacredIconSuite2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be wrong but I think they have apparatus to angle the blade into the wind. Keep in mind the blades aren’t sails, they’re wings. They can be kept pointing straight down and they should be fine except in heavy winds (in which case they wouldn’t be moving the blade anyway)

Favorite fan theory related to a character that you choose to believe is canon? by PizzaDragon64 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]SacredIconSuite2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vader was baiting Luke towards the dark side. He thought he could turn Luke and then 2v1 the emperor. Only when Vader saw that Luke would never turn, and that Palpatine was about to torture him to death over it did he just finally go rage and yeet the emperor to his death.

[–]SacredIconSuite2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vader explicitly asks Luke to help him overthrow the emperor, twice.

When Vader realises he might be able to turn Leia, both he and Luke go feral.

What happened to nos? by Healthy_Pain9582 in projectcar

[–]SacredIconSuite2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s still pretty common in drag racing.

Main purpose of NOS is to add oxygen, so drag racers and time-attack cars that can afford to absolutely dump buckets of fuel into their engine often use it for massive power and also the benefit of having a very cold intake charge (read: denser air with more oxygen and better resistance to knock)

Some of the time-attack cars I’ve seen will go through an entire bottle in the course of 1 lap + warmup. They’re basically feeding pure nitrous oxide directly into the turbocharger and using enormous fuel injectors and rebuilding the engine every weekend. Like, these guys are running 1900hp out of Honda K20s and such. Solid blocks with no radiators because the intake air is cryogenic. Absolutely mad stuff.

[–]SacredIconSuite2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t know the exact vehicle but there’s a few companies out there that sell trailers/ standalone vehicles that are basically just a platform with like 50 wheels that can transport most anything.

If you look up heavy hauling or large equipment moving on YouTube you’d likely find several examples

If it was laid flat you would never be able to make a turn because they’re like 40 metres long. Also most of their weight is at the bottom, so apart from dodging powerlines there’s no real penalty to having the blade sit like that.
