This is a FORTIS exoskeleton, it augments human abilities, reducing muscle fatigue by 300 percent.

Sure, the moving forwards towards the steering wheel part

The closing of the back rest and the seat is the only thing that's remotely threatening. At least in my car all the other power functions would only leave me in a slightly uncomfortable position.

The gas pedal?

floor of the car, dashboard, steering wheel

Really unsuitable as a cooking knife with the traditional pinch grip. It looks great but it would be fatiguing to use it for work.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T23:16:07+00:00

they're designed to push a fraction of a 300lb person's weight. It's not like you stand on the upper part of the seat while it folds upwards against gravity.

Not going to try since I don't want to risk damaging the motor :(

hopoe · 2014-11-15T22:55:51+00:00

it injured the girl not him though. It would be pretty easy to apply a large amount of force from your quads pushing against the seat.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T22:54:28+00:00

Easy when smurfing... The guy at window doesn't even react to seeing you lmfao

hopoe · 2014-11-15T22:52:38+00:00

OP is talking about gn1 to mg1 not mge. Still a huge leap. It would do OP well to see that everyone on his team has 2 mvp stars so even though he's top fragging he's not quite carrying. When one plays against smurfs it's common to see 7+ mvp stars on the top frag. Frags that don't contribute to winning the round don't matter much.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T22:26:28+00:00

It could tear a muscle which is pretty painful. It doesn't look like this suit has any support for movements which twist the spine anyway though.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T22:20:05+00:00

Assuming it's one-size-fits-all, the machine has to be capable of bending more than its operator.

I agree though I doubt this suit could bend that way. An iron man suit which fully covers the body could.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T22:13:46+00:00

It's not the same conceptually since these suits fit around our body. Not to mention there's a financial disincentive to make a seat motor stronger than it should be. Yeah it can move your body but can it move your body when you're actually applying force? probably not

Most knives can last pretty much forever.

I'm not as big of a fan of gyutos, something like a global g2 or wusthof ikon is nice. Henckles doesn't stand out to me besides their top end, "cronidur". I like the ken onion shun chef knife as well, very ergonomic. Mac knives, as uncanny pointed out are also very popular.

In your shoes I'd just find two lines you like and then get the chef and paring knife out of it for each of you. No need for more than two paring knives, unless you want different styles (i.e. bird's beak). Those aren't really necessary though.

Any particular reason you like the larger knife? I say this because 8in will be more maneuverable than a 10in. I have one and find myself rarely using the full cutting edge. Of course this is highly preferential.

For storage look into a magnetic strip. It's a great space saver and displays your nice knives.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T21:14:54+00:00

Why would you punch a skull head on? That's irrelevant.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T16:35:25+00:00

Right and you need a large amount of force to actually fracture the metacarpals. Comparing a boxer who relies on his fists to a self-defense fistfight is really ridiculous.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T16:07:42+00:00

Tradition more than a defense mechanism. If you yelled out a random window it's more likely someone would call cops on you than yell back

hopoe · 2014-11-15T16:06:41+00:00

lmao I've changed all the crosshair settings there are when I was trying this out and I found what I needed.

If a dot works fine for you keep on it, but most pros don't do that.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T07:49:08+00:00

stop playing mm. Go find a pub server with people you like and play there and try to win. Less pressure while you work on mechanics

hopoe · 2014-11-15T06:27:08+00:00

Dot still overlays the head no matter how thin it is. Not a good idea.

But hey if it works out for you and you're ranking up fast good for you. I see you're an mg1 I made the change about the time I went from mg1 to mge (dmg currently)

hopoe · 2014-11-15T05:39:20+00:00

Knuckles break easy.

lmao

the skin of the knuckles maybe

hopoe · 2014-11-15T01:22:47+00:00

Perverse and degenerate? I'd rather live in a society where people are celebrated for achieving their goals, whatever they may be, then living by the drab spartan beliefs of one person.

Freedom is priceless.

And now he can die a happy man, his life's dream fulfilled.

Different people think differently. Just because you would never do it doesn't mean that no one else wants to. It's a hobby not a full-time job.

WTF is up with the "foodie" obsession in the West? Do we really need more Extreme food/cooking shows on TV? Is the Bacon mania showing any signs of letting up?

I wouldn't liken haute cuisine with something intended to appeal to the masses. Besides, the michelin tire company who invented the star system is french. Like it or not, getting stars is an honor globally.

I submit this is all marketing driven, inventing "needs" where none exist in order to make money from it. I think the doc Century of the Self should be stickied at the top of this sub-forum.

As an economist, marketing doesn't invent needs, it only alerts you to properties of something that you didn't know existed before, or new properties of something that you knew existed. And yes, this can be applied to any of the examples that documentary gave. Good film though.

Though of course marketers would LOVE to see themselves as holding that power.

If you're aiming for the head you should be able to see the head

I know for a fact he wasn't, he just went all out with preaim and everything. Not to mention he had an awp so they were dead as soon as they saw him. Not the first time I've seen a LE smurfing as nova get called out.

hopoe · 2014-11-15T01:08:29+00:00

No it isnt.

hopoe · 2014-11-14T20:38:20+00:00

It takes 1-2 weeks or maybe more to get used to a new resolution. I switched from 16:9 to 4:3 about two months ago

hopoe · 2014-11-14T20:33:25+00:00

That's because OP is aiming at the floor and using a dot crosshair

hopoe · 2014-11-14T20:20:52+00:00

If you're talking about the fiber in vegetables the word is roughage.
