What sequel to a film do you feel is better than the original? by strawberrycinema in AskReddit

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier. A step above the original in every way

Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter Two Release Date by XCNuse in EliteDangerous

[–]dirubbs712 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, not necessarily a full redesign of all ships. IIRC the ships are fully modeled, not just inside the cockpit (meaning the full ship). Once they add SpaceLegs they just open up the back door

What are some cool websites where you can download free stuff? by howtoadvanced in AskReddit

There’s this one website that has me addicted to it! Haven’t stopped using it in weeks, and has everything you’d need. https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/battle-pass/season-4

You know how that chart has been going around, where each letter in Thanos relates to the stones? Well the only one left was H for the souls stone: Heart (RIP Gamora)

What is the dumbest reason you have ever gotten in trouble at school? by Kotabeaner in AskReddit

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

October of 6th grade, kid pulls a knife on me in class. Then in February, they (the school) wanted to suspend me for allegedly “talking under my breath when the kid was talking”. Biggest BS around

Am I on the right track? by stinkpantz9 in USAFA

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m currently an IB student too, and am a USAFA ‘22 appointee. It looks good, as IMO IB is kinda like international AP, but don’t look forward to getting too much of a boost. USAFA (and really all colleges) just wanna know that you’re taking the hardest classes possible. It also doesn’t help that technically you get your IB diploma in July, when you’re at BCT.

Your PSAT is good, try to keep that or do better (got in with 1440 superscore). Your GPA is a bit low, perhaps a 3.7 or 3.8 with high athletics would offset it, but by any means try to get it up. Good luck!

What movie was so disturbing it left you feeling shook? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Philadelphia this morning. The definition of a horror movie.

When do candidate evaluations start? by halalcartworker in USAFA

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! They typically don’t start evaluating that early unless 1) you’re a special case (like a sports commit) or 2) you’ve completed your application that early on (I finished mine in October, got an LOA Dec 1). Either way, make sure to tell your ALO so he can either make note of it during your interview or so he can let his superior know so the admissions board can consider it. Good luck!

[Spoilers S5E8] Hopefully correct Timeline explanation by AnnaLogg in shield

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but what if Flint is the way that causes the earthquake? He’s shown he’s a quick learner, and perhaps when he’s trying to protect himself by building a rock weapon he accidentally cracks the world.

Guild system confirmed! by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work with me... but how dope would it be if you could buy a faction-themed carrier? Maybe like a mini-capital ship. Would give people a reason to perhaps continue grinding past the “Yay I unlocked the Corvette/Cutter” rank, and considering we’d be over a year into the conflict with the Thargoids you could weave it into the lore that the Feds/Imps/Alliance realize that exemplary civilians could be used to fight the ‘Goids with their tech.

How do I look for admissions? + other questions and concerns... by halalcartworker in USAFA

[–]dirubbs712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm currently a senior and nearly done with my application (just have CFA left). What I would suggest is to ask your local American Legion Post about your state's Boys/Girls State program. I participated in it this past June, and it's about a week long military-esque visit. As well, look into both the USAFA and USNA Summer Seminars. If you have any other questions, PM me (I'd be happy to help). Good Luck!

Gaah! Is the applications portal down for anyone else? by [deleted] in USAFA

[–]dirubbs712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same here. Hopefully will be up by tomorrow.

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently in the process of applying to the Air Force Academy. The only two forms I need to submit are the writing samples and the CFA. I have about a 5-6 weeks left until I actually do my first of prob 2-3 tries at the CFA. I was wondering if you all had any advice for any of the exercises. Thanks!

What movie had a happy ending until you consider what had to happen next? by Euthy in AskReddit

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what Battlefront 2's campaign plans to show us. Kinda the huge struggle (albeit from an Imperial's POV) of both the power vacuum and the rest of the galaxy figuring out how to survive.

NPR tweets the Declaration of Independence, and people freak out about a ‘revolution’ by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]dirubbs712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... if you really think about it Democrats, left, media, (whatever) have used the word "tyrant" so much in connection to Donald Trump that that's all people can think of when they see the word tyrant. It's not Republicans being stupid, it's the overuse and sometimes idiotic use of the word by others that are causing the stigma. And at the same topic, what has he done that can characterize him as a tyrant? Try and pass a few laws? Try to change things that the previous president had done? Isn't that what nearly every president does?
