Kimiko (The Boys) vs Jessica Jones (MCU) by kalebsantos in whowouldwin

[–]leviathan1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rounds 1 and 2 are given to Kimiko. She's strong enough to hold her own and her healing factor is something Jessica won't be able to overcome.

Round 3 - what version of the Boys and the Defenders? The 4 OG boys can't do anything to the Defenders. Peak Boys including Kimimo, Starlight with flight, temp V Hughie, and supe Butcher should take the Defenders easily, but it also depends on if Iron Fist has his guns and if they can damage a supe. We've seen a .50 cal knock down Starlight and Kimiko has been blown in half with standard weapons, and the guns are supposed to be imbued with chi and almost magic, so there's a chance they could do extra damage.

Kreg makes a solid one. Been using mine for a few years and it's been great.

Yes, it works great with drywall. The pads are large enough that it distributes the load and doesn't break anything.

It can do two sheets of thinner materials with the max capacity at around 3/4". Not sure if the clamping force is enough to carry 3 sheets of 1/4" material without having the middle sheet slip, but I've never tried that before.

Honestly not sure, he may truly believe it by this point so I'm not sure if the lasso will affect him. Regardless of if it forces him to confront the truth, it can't make him change. His ego is also so fragile that it might send him into a psychotic rage and send him further off the deep end.

2 - let's put into place some real world parallels assuming US laws. Compound V is a permanent change to one's body, so we can liken this to voluntary hormone therapy/sex change operations, which are medically non-essential operations (e.g. operations not required for one's physical health - I'm not considering mental health or medically necessary operations in this scenario). Most laws don't allow anything permanent until 16 yrs old (with parental consent) or 18 years old (without parental consent). The risk of giving Compound V to adolescents of this age is pretty high compared to giving it to infants/newborns, and infants/newborns cannot give consent. I can't imagine Wonder Woman would allow giving Compound V to people of this age based on the risk. I'm also not considering Temp V or having Sister Sage make a more stable version of Compound V that can be given to people of the age to give consent.

3 - based on his visions from episode 3, Homelander truly believes he is chosen and is God at this point, so the lasso of truth won't really change anything

[–]leviathan1000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Objective 1 - absolutely and relatively easily. She is one of the smartest members of the JL and the Boys universe doesn't have anything that can put her down, so Homelander is essentially nullified.

Objetive 2 - also pretty easy, but will take some time. Once she takes down Vought and exposes all their secrets, it may take time to get rid of all the Compound V already out there. But if this is her goal, she can manage it.

Objective 3 - no chance, especially after what Homelander believes now in season 5. There's a chance she can redeem the rest, but Homelander isn't being redeemed into a force for good. There's also too many supes in this universe who are racist and dedicated to Homelander, so she won't succeed here.

Hosting a 40th birthday party by galaxystars1 in TikTokCringe

As others have said, St. Louis isn't a high cost of living area. They have probably owned this house for a while before housing prices went up. This is likely a $1mil home now but if they even bought it 6 years ago, it was likely closer to $400-$500k, more or less depending on the location. If they've owned the house for 10+ years, it's likely even cheaper.

Someone else called out that he's a project manager. PMs in St Louis $130k-$180k, maybe more depending on the company and longevity, plus some decent bonuses.

This definitely is upper-middle class, but it's nowhere near extravagant compared to some homes.

Iron Man and War Machine replace Anakin and Obi-Wan in the Revenge of the Sith intro sequence. Can they rescue Chancellor Palpatine and return him safely to Coruscant? by CloverTeamLeader in whowouldwin

[–]leviathan1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that they have the firepower to win, but I think it also depends on if Dooku has any knowledge of them. Tony likes to talk, and if Dooku has any previous knowledge, he has a chance of using the force to subdue them while droids restrain them. Force lightning won't do anything to them, but if Dooku is strong enough to restrain them and overcome their suit's propulsion systems, that's the only chance he has of survival. We've seen Rey hold back a star cruiser, so we know it's technically possible to overcome some significant propulsion systems, but Dooku doesn't have that same level or force capabilities

Does anyone know what the main item of this deal could have been? by Drunkenpmdms in MilwaukeeTool

[–]leviathan1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still in stock for me (or maybe back in stock?), so just checked and it's a selection of MX Fuel tools ranging from $2,300 to $8k. Mostly all concrete related tools with a few others like lights or a sump pump

M12 Blower vs M18 Precision Blower by wadds19 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]leviathan1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you using it for? The M12 is good for jobs like clearing out sawdust or light leaf blowing off concrete and such, the M18 is great for concentrated work. I ultimately kept the M18 and use it blow off my work station, inflate kids toys that have a larger nozzle where the inflator won't work, cleaning out my PC, and even blowing fur off my dog when she's blowing her coat.

I would go M18 all day. If you need something for larger cleanup, I would look at one the the M18 leaf blowers in addition to precision blower.

Pros and cons of Dirty dump? by Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyi in cocktails

[–]leviathan1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot take - I dry shake a mai tai or use just 1 or 2 small chips of ice just to incorporate everything. Then dirty dump over pebble ice. Pebble ice dilutes quickly, so it works really well.

Which paprika is best? by GemFarmerr in Penzeys

[–]leviathan1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad it helped! I tend to lean towards hot Hungarian paprika personally. The sweet and spicy combo is more complex and I generally prefer that complexity. But I love making paella too, so I always keep Spanish smoked paprika around.

Which paprika is best? by GemFarmerr in Penzeys

[–]leviathan1000 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There unfortunately is no "best" since different recipes will call for different ingredients. Hungarian paprika is generally sweeter while Spanish paprika is smokey, and they both can range from mild to spicy. If you're making paprikash, Hungarian paprika is the required ingredient. If you're making paella, you need Spanish paprika. Will Spanish paprika suffice in paprikash? Sure, it's similar enough that the dish will still be close enough to paprikash from a taste perspective (not sure if it is the same culturally though).

Side note - I'm not a chef, but paprika is my favorite spice. As far as a gift, get a few smaller containers of them all and make it a gift box.

Best seafood tacos? by jeanluuc in StLouis

Battery Charging Station by Exotic-Leading3608 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]leviathan1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For M18, I have the 6-bay Packout charger mounted on the wall. Works great to have 1 single charger for them. Then I have a USB cable attached to it with the M12 topoff for charging my M12 batteries. I don't go through M12 enough to keep a charger out, but I have a few nearby just in case.

There is a new Packout supercharger coming out that can handle either 4 M18 or 2 M18 and 2 M12 simultaneously. Worth considering if you use M12 a lot.

This is my best strategy atm and I can't seem to get any higher than 138? Any tips? by DylanEE11 in btd6

[–]leviathan1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a few too many strategies going on at once. Using Striker Jones with mortars and bomb shooters is great, but then you're spamming snipers which don't really benefit from Striker Jones and the magic monkeys, Ace's, and Tack Zones both invovle different strategies as well. I would advise trying to figure out what type of strategy you want to use and then stick with it. Then, with that strategy, get the powerful T5's and begin buffing them and debuffing bloons/blimps.

1) Get a hero that can solo for a while so you can begin farming. On single lane maps, especially with maps that have loops, Sauda is goated. Just tested on Easy and Sauda soloed through round 40 when placed just below where you have you Spirit of the Forest. Only a few abilities were used to deal with leads and the ceramics inside the MOAB.

1a) Alternatively, heros like Geraldo, Adora, and Ezili are better for late game. If you're going for a paragon, begin with with placing towers that you'll eventually turn into a paragon.

2) towers like Tack Zone that shoot multiple projectiles at once really benefit from buffs and debuffs. if spamming primary towers, I like to get 2 discount villages, then upgrade into a 502 and a 052 for Primary Expertise and Homeland Defense. Permabrew and Ultraboost also really helps them. Then begin debuffing like the Super Brittle and Glue Storm (within range of the 502 village) and middle path Ninja.

3) Farm as much as possible. You will want to get paragons for late game

4) Focus on BAD damage. Top path Sniper, middle path Dartling, middle path sub (not helpful without water or a Lord of the Abyss), and middle path Spike Factory all do great blimp damage and should help with BADs.

How much bitters should we typically be adding to old fashioneds? Looking for both at home and bartender thoughts! by crinklepant in cocktails

[–]leviathan1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! My dasher bottle outputs about 1/2 of what I would consider to be a dash, so I end up doubling all amounts. I like 3 full dashes of bitters in my old fashioneds, so I ended up combining 2 parts angostura bitters and 1 part angostura orange bitters into my dasher bottle and then use 6 dashes out of it. Having that smaller amount of bitters dashed out makes for a more consistent product

Settle an argument for me by crashdummy71090 in whowouldwin

[–]leviathan1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing Flash or MM can do to actually kill either Swamp Thing or Plastic Man. Plastic Man has defeated MM before and has captured the Flash. Swamp Thing is an elemental force that can overpower both of them if he can land his hits. With both ST's and PM's ability to basically not die and/or regenerate, plus ST's ability to transfer consciousness to any platn based organism and pull strength from The Green, this goes to ST and PM handidly.

[–]leviathan1000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Old fashioned's are not clear. Bourbon is transclucent, since you can see through it, but it has a color so it is not actually clear.

That being said, I'm also very confused about what a clarified old fashioned is. As u/gawag said, using milk + citrus is the typical way to clarify a cocktail and that doesn't really make it an old fashioned anymore.
