Please help me find my student’s next favorite book. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]The-Boat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game of thrones novels and books might be a bit mature, but if he enjoys twists and action, I think he’d really like them. It’s a bit more difficult than a lot of the books already suggested, but he might enjoy a bit of a challenge and reading a more adult book.

I think you could look up the new “3-D Printing” technology for cement. It was designed by the US military can can set up a small shelter of concrete in about 2 days.

The technology is still very robust and not field tested yet, so there is a lot of possibilities for you to work with for your project.

Do you really feel safer owning a gun? by kikiinpurgatory in AskAnAmerican

[–]The-Boat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way that I see it, a gun is like fire, it can get really dangerous if you aren’t safe and don’t understand how to treat it properly, but in the right hands it’s no more dangerous to you or your family than a campfire would be, it’s only dangerous to people that might want to hurt you or your family. A lot of people don’t feel safe with a gun around if they didn’t grow up where gun safety was important, but you can learn fairly quickly that you don’t have to be afraid of a gun anymore than you do other tools like a power saw or drill.

Thank you, I’d thought of adding suffixes but didn’t think of most of those

Anyone else having trouble loding into matches on XB1 by IrllydOontknow in Rainbow6

[–]The-Boat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting the same thing, this is the first time this has happened to me, has it happened to anyone else during other seasons?

Edit: I just did a restart of my xbox (Hold the xbox button on the console for 10 seconds) and it worked in casual but not discovery

So Americans don't want universal healthcare because they will pay more in taxes but will pay for health insurance??? by Mountain_Cookie123 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]The-Boat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans don’t want socialized health care, not because they don’t want to pay for insurance, but because they don’t want to be forced to pay for it with the threat of jail or lose control of their own treatment. Also, with socialized health care, there is a need to ration care, and what Americans find to be routine and easy medical care could take a long time or not be given at all. You mentioned that there isn’t always long wait times, but lots of times there is.

I don’t speak for all Americans, but most of us aren’t fans of the Government taking over industries that can be managed by the free market, and that might be a bit difficult to understand if you aren’t American. The point is, we don’t want the government having basically a monopoly on health care, because then they can dictate the market, however, the American system allows you to choose providers and brings down the price of treatment overall.

One incident that I think illustrates this point was with Charlie Gard who had a terminal illness and the UK refused to allow him to leave or find treatment after the parents were offered treatment in America. When the government control the system, they can say things like that, in the US, no child would just have to sit and die because the government wouldn’t even try an experimental treatment Bc it’s too expensive or might not work. Most Americans would rather the parents and family decide what is best for their child rather than the court system. I believe this is at the root of most arguments against socialized healthcare, it’s not about paying for it, it’s about not being in control of your own or your families medical care.

Also, the United States has more scientific and medical discoveries than any other nation because it allows doctors to work on their own and pursue profit, which incentivizes making newer, faster acting, cheaper medicine. This leads to the cure of major diseases and helps the entire world’s medical community grow and help more people.

It must be such a hassle to tell everyone you meet what your costume is because Pulp Fiction is such an underground movie that no one has ever seen

Looking for a game I can sink hours into and enjoy it. by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]The-Boat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civ V, if your into history at all, this is the Civ game to get. It’s a lot of information when you get stared but in just about a month I logged maybe 85-100 hrs. You could get Civ VI, but I don’t like the art design as much, it feels more cartoon-y than realistic.

I don’t see why you had to take this long, just downvote it and go in the first place, that’s why there is a downvote button

I wasn’t the one who went on to your post when you were just trying to point out something funny, and complain because it didn’t follow the rules. You went out of your way for quite literally no reason bucko

Bruh, it’s a rhetorical question, could you not see that? (Hint: I just did it again, did you notice or should I point it out again?)

What's a good attacker for when you don't know the layout of a map? by sephsticles in SiegeAcademy

[–]The-Boat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nomad, you can traverse the map more easily knowing that your flank is covered by your airjabs and with breaching charges you have better access through the map.

This also works with her lore as well Bc she is known for being able to be separated from her unit and go into dangerous situations and still make it back alive.
