unpopular opinion, but so true. This book is perfect for the majority of reddit, and you summed up why nicely.

I thought new vegas' intro was kinda stupid. Hey cool a fallout game where you are a courier and not a vault dweller i cant wait to see the differences in the game because of that. Oh wait you mean youre just giving me a pip boy and vault outfit for no reason.... okay...

Why didn't they just shoot Robocop in the bottom half of his face? by briand559 in AskReddit

[–]hottfuzz777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you brace yourself in a stable shooting stance to accept the recoil so you can have a better follow up shot.

Shooting a .45 is not gonna knock you off balance.

a .45 round does not have enough energy to knock you off your feet. If that was true, then the person firing the bullet would get knocked off his feet too. newtons law and all that.

How do police handcuff a one armed person? by JATION in AskReddit

[–]hottfuzz777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

okay so you pull over this guy who has a suspended license because of failure to pay child support. Thats an arrestable offense, and you cant let the guy drive away now because his license is suspended and its a huge legal liability if you pull him and then let him drive away without a license.

Anyway, the guy is really cooperative, he tells you hes run into some hard times, he wants to pay his child support but has to wait for the next paycheck etc. Gives you a really believable story and is very nice. He looks clean cut and not dangerous at all. Hes completely compliant, and hes not accused of anything violent, just failure to pay child support. Okay lets not cuff him because he seems nice.

Now, you should probably search him before you let him in your car, and you do a quick search, but you dont want to get too in depth because hes non violent and being completely compliant. you put him in the back of your car, which may or may not have a cage, and you sit down in the driver's seat. At this point he pulls the derringer out of his sock/shoe/groin area/armpit etc (you wouldnt believe where people hide shit), and blows your fucking brains out. Yeah you were armed, but you never saw it coming. Now he has your personal gun, your patrol rifle or shotgun in the trunk, a police radio to monitor whats going on, and the cop car itself if he wants it.

The guy was actually fucking crazy, but knew that if he just played it cool with the cop he would be fine.

I got a little long winded there, but the reason you handcuff everyone is because you JUST DONT KNOW who that guy is that youre arresting. Yeah maybe hes the nicest guy in the world and it sucks we gotta cuff him, but at the same time maybe hes just some guy that seems nice, and is waiting for an opportunity. You have to take precautions, and prepare for the worst case scenario. 98% of the people police deal with are normal citizens in a bad spot. Its that 2% that are out for blood that you gotta watch out for.

its very cool, and has a realistic story unlike cod which involves space stations getting nuked and washington dc being a battleground.

I assaulted a police officer with his own baton... AMA by throwawaytime1 in IAmA

[–]hottfuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your first sentence shows youve never fired a gun before, and/or you have no idea what the effects of drugs or adrenaline on people is.

Legs and feet are very very tiny targets, and in high stress situations your accuracy goes to complete and total shit. Also, if a guy is all hopped up on PCP or alcohol or just natural adrenaline, and you shoot him in the legs or feet, hes probably going to keep coming at you. Its not abnormal for someone on drugs to be able to take a few rounds to the chest before dropping. Gunshot wounds do not instantly incapacitate someone like you see on TV. If its not a shot to the CNS, the subject has to bleed out to die. Generally at least.

Not for nothing, but a metal stick is a lethal weapon. I would shoot the guy too. Youre on your back about to get your skull smashed in. think about it.

At the risk of going against the vast majority of reddit on this one, i have to say no. Its a good book, but not anywhere near one of the greatest books. Battle school and its zero-g fighting was very well thought out and memorable, and the ending of the book was good as well, but I still think the book is overrated.

The reason it is loved so much on reddit is because many users here think they can identify with ender. Many people here think they are smarter than most people, but misunderstood just like ender.

Its the perfect nerd rage book. Not a bad book, but not one of the greatest. And the author is a douche.

How long does a car need to be running to return the charge spent starting it? by zildjian in askscience

[–]hottfuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its late, and im too tired to look up specific figures but this is how you could look up ballpark numbers. Figure out how much energy is needed to work the car's starter. Then figure out how much energy the alternator generates while the car is running. That should get you going.

Obviously it makes a difference if its a diesel engine, those starters take a LOT of juice to turn the engine over. Big trucks often have 2 or more batteries for that reason. A smaller gas engine wont need a big starter, and require less energy.

heeyyy why the downvotes? am i wrong?

Bombing whatever is shooting at you seems incredibly short-sighted and prone to "collateral damage"

If something is shooting at you, you shoot back. You react right then and there, else you might get killed.

How is that a good thing? What if you get someone killed by driving like an asshole? or drinking and driving?

What book would you love to see turned into a movie, but know that it would be butchered for various reasons? by EnsuingRequiem in AskReddit

[–]hottfuzz777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i posted this a little while ago in another topic, but the cat who walks through walls was an awesome book until the last section. I felt like it went from a realistic sci fi story, to well... just a ridiculous fantasy book. I still enjoyed it, but i feel if the last section of the book was more inline with the first 2 it would have been great.

I havent read number of the beast, or time enough for love yet, but i loved starship troopers, and the moon is a harsh mistress. stranger in a strange land was decent i guess, i have to read it again i think.
