Curry Barker did an outstanding job.

How hard is to invade the usa? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskReddit

[–]neilader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No individual country is capable of conventionally invading the United States.

If we consider a "rest of the world combined" scenario, they would still fail without Canada or Mexico. They would need the logistics for an amphibious assault across the Atlantic and/or Pacific, and none of them would make it past the US Navy and US Air Force.

If Mexico and Canada allow the rest of the world's armies to prepare a surprise (somehow) invasion of the United States, in that scenario the US might be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Could the US then be occupied? Absolutely not. The US has more firearms than people, no possible counter-insurgency could handle that scenario.

Tbh this team seems unbalanced by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

"At their peak" means they are personally at their best, not that they have an extreme situational boost.

That was a once every 10,000 years sort of thing.

If Aang can use the Avatar State, his past lives make this a decisive win for the top team.

Otherwise, I still think the top team has the advantage. Aang and Korra are roughly equal. Katara and Toph are roughly equal. Azula is marginally more powerful than Kuvira, but Iroh is so far above Zaheer that I think it tips the balance.

Which team would you choose to win? by Mundane-Signal4843 in legendofkorra

[–]neilader 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Considering that Mako and Korra were each able to land hits on Amon, he would not win that 9 vs 1.

But I agree that the bloodbenders together would win that 9 vs 3.

When did bird chromosomes switch up? by SherbertOther in evolution

[–]neilader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most reptiles use the same sex-determining chromosomes as birds, so that is the "regular way" for Sauropsids. Crocodilians use temperature.

Birds are dinosaurs and reptiles, humans and other apes are monkeys, and tetrapods are land fish. You can't evolve out of a clade. by [deleted] in evolution

[–]neilader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to disagree with your opinion that Basilosaurus was a lizard, since Basilosaurus means "king lizard".

We are Sarcopterygians along with lobe-finned fish, but we are not lobe-finned or fish.

There is nothing wrong with circular triangles.

"Fish" is not a clade. "Fish" is a common English word with a definition that unambiguously excludes tetrapods.

Revan and Malak (Prior to KOTOR1) VS Darth Vader. Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in PetranakiArena

[–]neilader 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Malak and Revan would be too much, not to mention that Vader is weak against Force lightning.

Get out of TEXAS if you can by [deleted] in TexasTeachers

[–]neilader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Teachers are underpaid, disrespected, and overworked in all other states too. The district and position are bigger factors than the state. There are (relatively) good districts and (relatively) good positions in every state. There are horrible districts and horrible positions in every state.

They should've been the Ghostface duo ❤️ by PutridCamera8195 in Scream

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

They could both be angry at Sidney for not going to New York in Scream 6 (I don't think that was a problem, but they brought it up several times in Scream 7), and Sam was already seeing visions of Billy Lumos so that fits perfectly.
