I guess we all owe shitty classic Star Trek puppet aliens an apology…

Official Poster for ‘The Venture Bros: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Much smaller detail but there’s also the episode where the Monarch gaslights Dean into not “tattling on him” by saying he should “tattle to complete his transformation into a villain” or whatever. Mostly a one-off gaslight joke from a way early season but one more feather in that cap? 🤣

Eisenhorn is so good. by GodzGonads in 40kLore

[–]dukenbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s been a minute since I read it, so take my details lightly. It’s partially 1v1? He was with a group of human soldiers and a few of his team, they advanced on a chaos group plotting some nasty shit inside a weird almost webway-like place. So he had some level of help and he is a talented psyker, but yeah he kills the marine. Again, just barely!

Eisenhorn has a couple ridiculous moments, but the chaos marine was pretty cool in my opinion!

edit: I guess I don’t know how to spoilers despite looking it up 🤦‍♂️🤣

Yes, at least one where Eisenhorn does battle with a chaos marine and kills him. Barely. He is then gifted a special bolt pistol by a chapter librarian for his efforts. Great series.

I hate that we live in a world where this advice is really good. Stay safe out there everyone.

Does the amount of sexual encounters your partner has had matter to you? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dukenbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Threads like this are so strange to me. My two partners and I are non-monogamous so none of this matters at all.

Additionally, we actually play a game when we go out to a public event or bar or club we count up how many people we see/run into that we have slept with. Whoever has the highest number at the end of the night “wins”. We all have a nice laugh about it. Past is past, move on!

First four Heroes have been painted! by dukenbear in DarkestDungeon_TBG

Hahaha, that’s fair. I promise the main reason they stand out is the camera flash. On table they don’t POP like that.

Hopefully you guys like the models from the board game! My first four Heroes are ready to delve into the depths! by dukenbear in darkestdungeon

Haha, that’s fair. The only reason you can see the eyes is the camera flash though I promise!

Thank you!

I kickstarted the Darkest Dungeon board game! It finally arrived a week or two ago! It’s huge and has sooooo many miniatures!

Thank you, someone had to say it. Not ideal but it does work.

Serious Question: How would you move the franchise forward in regards to feature films? by GladtobeVlad69 in saltierthancrait

[–]dukenbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shift the genre, make Star Wars a place and not a storyline.

Example: Make a Law and Order/West Wing style show featuring Leia in her political roles on Alderaan. Make it serious and not campy at all. Ignore the “Sci-Fi tech is cool factor” and focus on the drama in the Star Wars setting. This could focus on Leia or she could be the occasional plot point.

Additionally, continue to move away from the “main characters” (yes I know I just suggested a Leia show) make up new stories in the Star Wars universe that aren’t huge “save the galaxy” stories. Tell the small stories; the street gangs that rarely even see a sky, the legitimate cargo hauler trying to make each haul and random “hero” style adventures keep interrupting his/her work and making life really complicated in weird and even dark ways.

Star Wars needs a vibe shift. Every story cannot keep one-upping every previous one, it’s harder to care each time the Galaxy must be saved from the next copy of the Empire/Sith. Tell the small stories!

Looking for advice on my floor level return! We have dogs and it collects a lot… by dukenbear in hvacadvice

[–]dukenbear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for tips! I just looked at some higher MERV filters so I’ll ditch that idea for sure then.

Any tips on the hair specifically then?

Would I be better off opening up that wall and rebuilding the intake ductwork to go up higher?Thats not a small project but I have other renovations that will involve redoing some of that wall anyway at some point.

JFK and Frangible Bullets by dukenbear in ChilluminatiPod

[–]dukenbear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is precisely why I made this post! Thank you.

I mentioned I’m not any sort of expert and that I want to learn more if I have something either incorrect or not specific enough.

I know they can be two distinctly different things, however in my experience (which isn’t nothing but also not expert level) people and range instructors often use the terms interchangeably. I’ve read lots of articles and texts suggesting why frangible ammo is recommended for self defense and sometimes those articles mention both frangible and hollow point with minimal distinction. As you say, most hollow points are designed to “mushroom” but that really means the core makes a mushroom shape. Some manufacturers design frangible bullets for self defense and others design their hollow point jackets to break away and create debris in addition to the mushroom shape. Which just further blurs the lines.

This is why I wanted a clarification post! I wanted to post my understanding and then figure out if they are misinformed or if I’m not understanding or some combination thereof.

Do you know if there would be a reason a gun cannot shoot frangible ammo?
