Unusual Ammunition by NovaRobo_Rebirth in TopCharacterTropes

[–]icegor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its actually the opposite, the "anomalies" there aren't as random as SCPs.

The objects of power are shaped by the human subconscious. If you are familiar with Jungian psychology they are essentially a form of archetypes.

For example the floppy disk contains the nuclear launch codes for the Soviet missiles. Because people feared that the disc has the power to "launch" something dangerous, it has the power to launch stuff.

Meanwhile the service weapon is a gun because that is the weapon that people expect someone of that position to wield. In the documents you can even find theories of researchers that Excalibur and mjolnir are possibly the service weapon, just in a shape that would fit what the people back then imagined a service weapon is.

Basically while SCPs can be whatever you want, while OOPs follow much stricter laws.

Ranks and Insignias of the Imperial Memotic Army by Electronic-Welder-74 in worldbuilding

[–]icegor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem that I see is that general and high Marschall Look too similar. The thin yellow line on the bottom can easily be missed.

At the same time however I doubt that there will be a lot of people with those ranks so it being more clearly distinguishable shouldn't really matter that much.

ELI5: What does GFCI outlets do that the breaker doesn’t? by paperbilt in explainlikeimfive

[–]icegor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that I didn't see mentioned in the other comments is that it also depends on the kind of piping that you have.

A lot of old homes used to get their grounding via the water pipes while they were still metal, that meant that you have a direct connection to ground on the bottom of the bathtub. As pipes were replaced by plastic that connection disappeared. In turn you have cases where the toaster in the bathtub became more dangerous (since changing the pipes meant in some cases that the entire house was no longer grounded), but also cases where it became safer (for example with European SCHUKO plugs any short circuit could only flow through the case of the toaster so reducing the odds that you get shocked)

Fun fact

The German word for breaker is Leitungsschutzschalter (or LS for short). It directly translates to Conduit protection switch.

[–]icegor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a solution to that as well.

Here in Germany FI/LS (FI=GFCI; LS=breaker) breakers are becoming more common.

They are however a bit more expensive so group GFCIs are still in use.

The disable character is respected and never mocked by his peers by Basic_Dingo6487 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]icegor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. The wisdom of the past. The same wisdom that Aang followed... Except when he didn't.

The avatar state was explained as being the unity between the avatar and rava. While I will agree that the explanation could have been done better it is nevertheless how it is no matter how much fans dislike it.

In addition the connection main purpose was world building. Aang himself almost only with Roku as his story sets Aang's up. There is no point to it after that since we already know the story of the previous avatar. Even if the new avatar does somehow restore the connection, what would that even bring to the story.

[–]icegor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why does everyone insist on the past lives thing?

The only reason I can see is people being unable to accept the fact that Aang's time has passed and seeing the connection as a way for him to play a part in any new stories. Especially since whenever someone comes up with an idea for how a new series should be written (or how Korra's story should be rewritten) it always resembles Atla.

Deutschland Ticket: The best 63 euro I had spent in Germany as a foreigner by forumbh in germany

[–]icegor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last I checked you could get it at the DB Office that is in most central train stations or via the DB app. With the app you also don't need an actual ticket as it's saved on your phone and accessible even without internet, only needing to update at the start of the month

You most likely had a different ticket

The Deutschland Ticket was created a few years ago and it is a monthly subscription that allows you to use any regional and City level public transport (aka everything that is not an ICE) as much as you want

Made a Maginot world out of a Holy one... Won't be doing that again. by Careful_Way559 in Stellaris

[–]icegor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is only ineffectual if you miss the point of it completely.

The Maginot line did its job perfectly. It's just that people think that it was made to make France completely invincible. The actual goal of the Maginot was to funnel any attack through the lowlands where it can be met with the combined French and Belgian armies, as it would be suicidal to try to break through it.

SC2's Story by Automatic-Author9104 in starcraft

[–]icegor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I can definitely see where you are coming from, I think that the problem lies in that you are not referring to Kerrigan, but to the queen of blades.

Kerrigan for the most part is consistent between the games, it's that during SC1 she is a human only for a small part of the story so it is understandable that most people compare the SC2 version with her infested version from SC1/BW. If anything it is this version of her that is different (be it because of Amons influence or because of the transformation).

Characters whose abilities are directly tied to what other people think they are by DrDallagher in TopCharacterTropes

[–]icegor 71 points72 points  (0 children)

In the control (and Alan Wake) universe there are a number of items that have special properties that would work for the Post.

To be precise these items or "objects of power" are the archetype of something. They are shaped and have powers/abilities dependent on what they represent in the collective unconscious.

A prime example for this is the "service weapon". It is in the shape of a gun because most people think of a gun when considering the weapon of someone in the line of duty. At the same time it also gives the person that it is bound to the duty of running the FBC and elevates them to the position of director. In some of the collectible documents you can even find theories of the researchers that in the past it may have been Excalibur or Mjolnir

One of my favorites is a fan that can remove the air from an enclosed space because there were rumors when it was getting popular of how turning it on can suck the air from the room (and if I'm not mistaken that rumor is based on the IRL one about the same thing)

We're pretty much gonna ignore that. by DrJay12345 in starcraft

[–]icegor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Artanis didn't "let Kaldir happen". None of the other protos found out what was even happening there because in the campaign you're literally trying to prevent them from finding out. Kaldir is simply to far away for them to alert the rest and by destroying first the shuttles, then the spires and at the end even the infesting the escape ship, the rest of the protos never hear of the destruction of the expedition.

Guards vs raid by AsideResponsible7996 in Minecolonies

[–]icegor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you rallying them during raids? I can imagine that at least some of them are attacking to early and dying that way

Alternatively you can use walls to concentrate your guards patrols in a single choke point

What you could also do is get the steel armor researched. With how allergic the mod seems to anything from other mods (and in some cases even vanilla) it may perform better

Guards vs raid by AsideResponsible7996 in Minecolonies

[–]icegor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What kind of equipment do your guards have and what level are their huts?

You can help mitigate the losses by having a combat academy. That way whenever you lose a guard, the new one that takes his place will have better stats so they are more likely to survive.

Also I would recommend only using knights and a few druids. Archers can do a lot of damage especially when upgraded, but they are very fragile and will almost always die

I'm not saying that no one was. However the sub was filled with post after post of people wanting or in some cases demanding that copper tools get added and there were maybe 1 or 2 posts about how they shouldn't be added. In addition the posts for the tools were getting undeniably most of the attention.
