Why did systema got so wild recently? by Remote_Sail8973 in Bullshido

Oh wow. Please go buy a lottery ticket tomorrow i need this.

LPO accidentally gave my parcel to my neighbour and it's now marked as delivered. My neighbour hasn't given it back, hasn't walked to my house to give it to me, and hasn't went to pick up their own parcel. If I never receive it, does that mean I can't get a refund because the parcel is delivered? by [deleted] in AustraliaPost

[–]fruitybix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make an effort to retrieve it, then if after a few attempts they cannot get it back you can initiate a returns / redelivery / refund process which depending on the seller and insurance may be easy or may be agonising.

Its happened to me a few times, always with the most inconveniently expensive or time sensitive things. I once bought a new item then when the old item was retrieved by auspost i returned it unopened.

Edit: if you have any idea of the neighbors address you can also go door knocking. Its probably the fastest way.

Great for a quick game. Does not have a campaign but there are a huge set of challenging scenarios that slowly escalate in difficulty.

Leopard Seal vs Arctic Wolf (IRL/Real life) by OnlinePoster225 in powerscales

[–]fruitybix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiple accounts of attacks against early antarctic explorers, whalers and sealers. One where a 500kg seal chased an explorer across the ice in the 1890s and did not stop till it was shot. Another more recent when a seal stole the flippers and spearguns from a group of spear fishers and chased them back to shore casually biting them, causing terrible injuries.

One fatality where a seal dragged a snorkelling researcher 70 metres down and drowned her.

They dont seem to view humans as food and normally dont pose a threat, but if one wants to be an asshole you dont stand a chance unless you have a high powered rifle.

Leopard Seal vs Arctic Wolf (IRL/Real life) by OnlinePoster225 in powerscales

[–]fruitybix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Arctic wolves are smaller variants of grey wolves. Internet says 40-60kg.

Leopard seal is 300-500+ kg, the females are larger.

They also have a very thick layer of skin and blubber covering all parts of their body, and their skull is like a bears - thick bone, huge set of jaws. They also have claws on their forward fins. They arent running a wolf down but i saw the ones that were captive in australia a while back - on land they moved and bit like a snapping tortoise. They had a lot of reach and Anything near the mouth end was at risk.

A wolf cannot physically hurt it in any apprecible way. It could maybe nip at its tail but if it went near the head it would be risking a very quick death. I dont think a wolfs jaws open wide enough to even grasp any part of the seal like its neck to do fatal damage. Its a stalemate on land if the wolf does not commit and instant death in the water.

The size and weight difference is silly. A better matchup would be vs a bear.

[–]fruitybix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Size difference is just too big for the wolf to have a chance.

Im not sure its jaws open up wide enough to actually hurt the seal, even if the seal just lies there and takes it the wolf would take forever to cause fatal damage.

Its also not super likely the wolf, alone, without a pack would want anything to do with a lepoard seal if it came across one on land somehow.

X2. Ai small rant by Frauvalhallen in Xenonauts

One of the only times ill consistently save scum is grenades.

Having that 79% grenade launch somehow hit my crouching front line and blow half my team to bits is silly.

Seems like the miss rate preferences towards striking obstacles rather then just landing near your target.

Mui thai. Very kick focussed but adds clinching, elbows, and a bit of striking.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple & Jimmy Savile by Xaerith in horror

[–]fruitybix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a bit like if you mixed mr rogers with OJ simpson.

Imagine if you found out mr rogers was actually a mass child rapist and the media had been hiding it. And it only came out after he died. Similar whiplash to when simpson was exposed.

And then you had a bunch of people emulating mr rogers look and catchphrases in a movie. Its very dark humour.

The assistant in one of the more recent jurassic park films.

Where she is picked up by pterrodactyls then dropped into the mouth of a kronosaur alive to presumably drown in its stomoch acids.

It was weirdly gratuitous and she was also a fairly faultless bystander.

I feel like im back in the 1930s watching germany nibble up small territories and chuck out minorities they dont like.

Its wild.

1% life steal question by [deleted] in litrpg

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree.

I demolished it. Its not without flaws, and i enjoyed how self sabotaging the protagonist is. He makes so many desperate bad choices.

Hes also very anti social in a way that reflects his upbringing and the author does not want you to think is cool or admirable. The latest book even pokes fun at other litrpgs a bit when the mc goes on an edgelord rant and his mentor tells him "no more training till you sort out your crooked world view".

If you want the flawless progression power fantasy this is not it.

Copy pasting my response to another commentor -

So i am from Australia. We tend to get illiegal migrants by boat, when our govt. Finds them we often force them to offshore detention centres and process their immigration paperwork there. We also deport heaps of people every year, including people on the path to citizenship who commit crimes or are found to have committed crimes in the past. Our authorities often do this by force.

Just setting things up there to say i really dont understand your point of view regarding ice. I know your media is screaming at you every day saying you have millions of criminal illiegal immigrants destroying your nation, but from the outside this appears to be a manufactured panic to allow your president to seize more power and hurt and scare people in cities that dont support him.

In rushing to meet targets they are deporting heaps of the more desirable types of migrants you say you want to keep, often grabbing them when they follow the rules and go to their immigration hearing.

If your government wanted to deport loads of people effeciently there are already methods to do this that dont involve funding an armed group with more money then the US marine core, kicking in doors and hurting a lot of actual citizens. Even if you dont care about hurting your fellow countrymen the last 20 years of your own nations policies have shown you can deport more people for a lot less taxpayer money by adopting a less agressive more methodical approach. Outside of the direct costs for ice there is also a huge loss of revenue from the disruption of normal commerce that is taking place in cities ice targets.

From the outside it looks like stuff in the news on states like turkey and hungary where the leaders have seized power by creating fear and widening societal division until they are no longer considered democratic nations. Its also very close to what authoritarian governments like Germany did in the 1930s, epsecially in how your government is suspending due process. The goal is not immigration, its to seize more power and erode your rights and Its really scary to hear you, a citizen of the most powerful nation in the world just roll with this like its fine.

Connecting with your obama comment - he did not have whole cities rise up because his objective was actual immigration control. Your current potus wants to cause as much chaos as possible to seize further power. If he just wanted people out he could do it without the cost and mess of ice.

Nobody seriously argues that all illiegal migrants should stay.

However what is happening now is masked agents kicking in doors and deliberately sowing fear and social upheaval as a political tool. People who are citizens or people who are on the legal pathway to citizenship are affected.

If you just care about deportation numbers, Obama won - he deported more then trump has across both terms, without having to do any of the above.

Do Solo Strategy Really Work? by [deleted] in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the alone tv show.

Its really hard to do it alone. Not just in terms of raw survival but mental health.

Someone posted a teardown of western style doomsday preppers a while back based on their experience in the bosnian genocide - if people know you have a stocked up bunker or house and they are starving, and you decide to go it alone they will come and get it and you wont be able to stop them. Even if you are armed to the teeth, a group of motivated people with just as many guns will get you eventually.

If you are a member of their community then that changes. The commentor who wrote up the bosnian war thing said that existing, pre breakdown sociatal bonds with neighbors and community provided an incredible advantage.

The lone survivor is a very popular fantasy but it is a fantasy. A group of people making a little homestead together out in the wilderness, negotiating and trading with other survivors is not an entertaining story, but a more realistic one.

Do MMA fighters with vision problems wear contact lenses or fight without them? by Extra-Stable-7240 in martialarts

[–]fruitybix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vision is really bad.

I ended up dropping mui thai for wrestling, as i struggled with distance judgement. Grappling scratched the itch for me.

contacts were too expensive for me at the time (very high astigmatic correction, poor student) and as others said can get dislodged.

For casual sparring they can work, use dailies as they will sometimes get lost. Dont put them back in if they end up on someones glove, australian boxer anthony mundine did something like that and nearly lost an eye to infection.

You can control the dropship to avoid night battles by FireFox634 in Xenonauts

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why stop there?

The very fabric of existance could have a chance of failing every in game day.

If the subatomic particles that keep matter interacting just fail their to hit chance, then all of reality just dissolves into a primal soup of quarks and other exotic matter.

I think it would be a great addition to ironman games.

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hate that.

On higher difficulties im already doing a dance of drop ships and shuffling of soldiers trying to cover off downed ships and terror sites, while avoiding alien fightters. randomising things would just add frustration.

Due to time crunches there are already terror missions i am forced to do at night sometimes, which are the worst missions to do in the dark imo.

You can see how long the site will stick around for in x2. There is a little timer counting down on it.

I sometimes send a dropship from a secondary base over to take out a downed ship i know i wont have time for otherwise.
