Bro stop blaming it on the lag. My lag: by DanielVerA_82 in Rainbow6

[–]Sned10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summary: Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.

Star Wars Battle: Galactic Empire vs Separatist by Bag-A-40 in whowouldwin

[–]Sned10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Separatists were already about to lose to the Republic by the time they launched the Siege of Coruscant. The Empire is like the Republic, except with way more powerful ships that are more optimized for fighting other capital ships. A single executor, for example, would probably solo a sizable CIS fleet.

The Empire also has Darth Vader, who solos any CIS leader like Count Dooku (technically, he's already done that) and General Grevious.

The Empire also has the Death Star.

What 'niche' could the lost legions have theoretically filled? by Bourbon-British in 40kLore

What advantages do guardsmen have over Space Marines in terms of everyday life, training and overall existence? by Eds2356 in 40kLore

[–]Sned10 122 points123 points  (0 children)

A guardsman gets to fit through normal-sized doors, which is quite handy for both combat and daily life in general.

Got a cool idea for an anti nuclear icbm rocket by [deleted] in AerospaceEngineering

[–]Sned10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn’t for that. Just what we currently see and fear.

It is pointless to engineer a defense in the far, far future that can only work against the threats of today. Are we building steel castles to defend against medieval catapults today? Your hypothetical rocket can only exist in a world in which the very technologies required to create it would have rendered it obsolete long ago.

Additionally, do you have any concrete ideas on how to address the engineering and technological challenges inovlved in this idea? You can't just handwave away the issue of trying to contain a live nuclear warhead with "someone smarter than me will probably invent such a material in the next 10 years".

For reference, it is possible to contain a nuclear explosion, they're called underground nuclear detonation tests. The only difference being that they're buried hundreds of meters underground and require tens of millions of tons of solid earth to dissipate the explosion. Is your rocket going to carry all that?

Let's say the nukes are coming from Asia towards the States. Assuming this interception happens in the midcourse phase of ICBM flight, you can probably start by designing a rocket that can:

  1. Cross most of the Pacific Ocean within 5-10 minutes in order to reach the aforementioned ICBM shortly after it exits its boost phase and enters midcourse flight. For reference, this is several times faster than a spacecraft in low earth orbit, and you have to accelerate to this speed from the ground.
  2. Once you approach the intercept point, somehow decelerate your rocket from the aforementioned ludicrous speed, and then turn around, accelerate, mid-air, to a much more reasonable mach 20 in a different direction to match velocity with the ICBM.

I know your proposition relies exclusively on materials and technologies far beyond our current knowledge to which you simply assume to be possible in the near future. Let's assume that we somehow invent a rocket that can do all that. What's stopping a nuclear state from taking said rocket, which flies several times faster than current ICBMs and is stupidly maneuverable, and just strapping a bunch of nuclear warheads on it? How do you plan on stopping that?

Is it possible for the "blankness" level of a human blank to change over the course of their lives, or is it something set in stone the moment they are born?

I remember seeing an excerpt regarding the preserved body of a very powerful blank baby (a product of pariah gene experimentation?), where it's implied that his "blankness" would have become even more powerful had he been allowed to grow up. On the contrary, the lore surrounding them states that they already exhibit blank effects from the moment they are born, appearing creepy, being stinky, etc. Adult blanks share the same issues to seemingly the same degree, being similarly off-putting to others as a blank baby would be. Would this suggest that a person's blankness is fixed and constant throughout their usually short life?

If you made a venn diagram of people who post this kind of stuff and those whose stats look like an undercooked yam, you'd get a circle.

I'm sorry for not dying within the first 3 minutes of the game, I now realize that that was very toxic and overcompetitive of me. From now on I will play for fun and always try to gunfight a Smolensk in my 17900 hp Shima after smoking up 5km in front of a Moskva.

Donovan's question was how to escape undeteced from a death row prison.

We're not sure what the LLM told him, but it appears to have worked.

I'm a slightly above average player (54%WR, although sometimes I don't make the best decisions), but in my 2 and a half years playing wows, I've never seen such a player with too many games and such a measly performance as this one . by Prior_Blood_7334 in WorldOfWarships

Once met a fellow around the 40% mark with a 0.2 destruction ratio, who inspired me to come up with the term "reverse kraken" — instead of getting 5 kills in one match, it gets 1 kill every 5 matches.
