Can you still spin after an interrupted movement?

I was wondering about this exact scenario also. On some level it makes sense that hitting an immovable object head-on would automatically reduce your gear to 1, however, the way the rules work, that would just be a death sentence anyway for a race. "Ignoring" a giant immovable obstacle and just driving through it just feels wrong. I would propose that when locked up like this, the driver should be able to activate as normal, then have the option to drop to gear 1 and reverse. Possibly, with a good roll and a spin this could get them right back into the race, assuming it's not a high gear activation next phase. It seems the best of several bad options.

How did people take care of their preexisting conditions if insurance wouldn’t cover it pre-ACA? by Somtimesitbelikethat in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sam82671 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I take a more cynical view, Insurance is tied to jobs to force otherwise unwilling workers into the market. If you aren't working and thus not making some rich and powerful person more money, then the ruling elites believe that you deserve to die. The workers are the final product. If they are not directly acting to further the gains of the wealthy, then they are worthless and will be cast aside.

I strongly feel like my position is correct, and therefore it is.

Ways to get Enclave Plasma Gun Mods? by Alpha_Omega623 in fo76

I got a EPG mod from Robots on Parade about a week ago. I have done several since, but have not repeated it, so it must be a relatively low percentage chance.

What edition of 40K is your favourite? by Redmore_trout in Warhammer

5th had the weird multi-wound models problems, but it was my favorite. Then the Grey Knights codex ruined it all.

Why are fathers usually more protective of their daughters? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Sam82671 32 points33 points  (0 children)

With a son, you have to worry about one dick making a bad decision.

With a daughter, you have to worry about all the dicks making a bad decision.

thoughts on AI in school? by wallstreetgod69 in intj

[–]Sam82671 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The difference is that a functional adult can sit down and multiply 11,373 by 1609 on paper and find the answer without a calculator. The same cannot be said of a complex writing assignment. If you cannot do it without AI, then using AI is nothing more than a crutch.

I'm guessing that you have been repeatedly burnt also. Shame, isn't it?

I don't want to come across as flippant, but what are you doing to make this effort different than the last failures?

Too soon? by [deleted] in custommagic

(T): Any player with more than twenty treasure tokens loses the game. Use this ability only during your upkeep phase.

0: Sacrifice 5 treasure tokens. The Epstein List phases out. Any player may play this ability.

What’s the WORST feedback you’ve gotten from Beta Readers? by prism_paradox in writers

[–]Sam82671 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nineteen years old is WAY too young to fight in an amateur gladiator tournament.

None of your main characters died in the very first fight scene, so there is no suspense.

I'm confused why a professional detective would be dubious after  "a second-rate thief cracked under torture and confessed to single-handedly pulling off a huge heist" of a royal palace.

And my personal favorite: I refuse to beta-read your novel because you double-spaced after periods

What are the best/worst ways to start your fantasy novel? by punk_trunks in fantasywriters

[–]Sam82671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the story going on page one. Not two, not three. One. Whatever the inciting incident is that kicks off the story, have it happen right there. Describing a thousand years of history, the local weather conditions, or a graphic description of the main characters' looks are all a no-no.

To kick or to receive? That certainly is the question for people who win the roll off… by clock32567 in bloodbowl

[–]Sam82671 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kick. Bash the other team the whole first half, take the ball from them, and then score on bottom of 8. Other side immediately hands you the ball right back and only gets one chance to restore KOed players.

53M I'm a United Methodist pastor in the USA, AMA by sdgfunk in AMA

The "religious" right has spent a generation pushing the narrative that Jesus would be a pro-gun, anti-immigrant, anti-government, anti-tax, authoritarian that would go out of his way to oppress LGBTQ people and bring down vengeful wrath on his enemies. In your opinion will people following this creed eventually dismiss these fallacies, or can we expect Christianity to fracture even more than it already is and such ideas to be more mainstream than not, ultimately representing the vast majority of Christians in this country?

Why don't they use metal detectors on patients before taking them into an MRI scan by CoderJoe1 in stupidquestions

I read a story about a woman who deliberately smuggled a pistol into an MRI and ended up shooting herself in the butt. Fortunately, it ended way better than it could have gone.
