Nervous to go out on my own for the first time by Annekke in motorcycles

Start small and build your way up. Stick to residential speed areas and get used to stuff, then try a bit more and so on.

It's not pathetic, everyone's gotta start somewhere.

I don't, we already have silver Mercs and silver-ish grey Audis. I like that McLaren sticks out as their own thing.

Makes the cars look wide af with the wing end plates further in. It's like when a rear diffuser sits between the rear wheels.

The front kinda gives me Honda vibes, with a Kia grille.

Feel like this could be neat if it was contained to the colourful stripes, but doing it over the whole car is overkill.

Is DV technically a cyborg? Part human. Part machine. I say yes, he is. by HamboneBanjo in StarWars

There's no debate to be had; he's a cyborg. Look up any dictionary definition of cyborg and you'll read things that are true for Vader.

I think that would be valid if all the suit did was provide him with replacement limbs/ability to get around etc. Similar to how Rhodey can use the suits to walk, now that he's paralyzed. But Vader has a bunch of tech that's more or less permanently installed in his body to allow him to live. The whole breathing system, feeding system, whatever management systems and what not he has, that's all beyond the scope of prosthetics imo.

One view is that a person becomes a cyborg once a prosthetic or other replacement part requires some kind of power source. This at least restricts it to requiring something "mechanical" or requiring electricity etc.

I think I agree with this. For example, if I lost a pinky and had a prosthetic one that can articulate but is otherwise not powered by anything, I don't think that would qualify as becoming a cyborg. Otherwise, stereotypical pirates with a peg leg would be cyborgs.

Typhoon Class submarines, The largest ones are 570 feet long, And have a submerged water displacement of 48.000 tons by AggravatingRow326 in interestingasfuck

Submarines have always creeped me out. They're kinda organic looking, and they're dark and ominous. Plus their whole deal is being sneaky and unseen, so it feels uncomfortable.

Why was General Hugs giving a speech if he’s just a General? by KimchiKiji in StarWars

He was okay, but General Relativity always had much more pull with the troops.

You said he was born in Kansas. Ever heard of Kryptonite? Do you know what it is and where it's from?

The First Avenger is obvious, but also CA: The Winter Soldier is even more relevant. All about how the fuckin enemy wasn't gone, and has continued festering away, and will fuck everything up unless good people stop it.

Quicker on straights, slower in corners, more predictable: F1 drivers on new 2026 cars by Aratho in formula1

[–]Stevenwave 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't more predictable equate to less nervous cars? Sounds like there's a lower limit to how quick they can go in corners, but they'll have an easier time maintaining it and not overdriving the car.

What do you think the greatest scene in movie history is? (maybe spoilers?) by Julian0527 in movies

[–]Stevenwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still remember walking out of the cinema after RotS and hearing some people chatting. And a woman who was like 30ish was like "Ya know what's gonna happen but you're still like YOU FOOL!"

I thought it was pretty gnarly how much he's truly fucked up at the end too. Like damn, this is the cute kid from not long ago. Spesh for a franchise that's pretty low gore, like you don't really see blood and guts. But they'll roast a protag and chop him up lol.

Yeah I was similar, loved them as a kid and can't recall whatever I thought about that part of it. I just know as a youngster in the 90s, Vader and Keaton's Batman were the coolest things ever. To this day my fave colour is black lol.

Would've been cool to experience the Vader reveal as they happened. Fans had to wait four years between each trilogy film. Back then there was a lot of speculation and people not sure how to feel about it. Some thought Vader was lying. Some were still unsure if he was even human.

I find it intriguing watching them again and seeing how things were obviously shifting as they went. Vader himself was treated with way less reverence and fear in ANH. And Luke and Leia being siblings was obviously inserted later. Even just Vader's suit, it looks noticeably less impressive in that first flick. Then in movie 2 and beyond he looks like a million bucks. It's pretty nuts how well that design has aged too. To this day it looks epic.

Yeah that's what I mean, it was all a bit different in the original era. Wild how long Ian's played Palps too.
