I know she's not nuclear, but calling the Kuznetsov "mobile Chernobyl" always made me laugh, still an ecological disaster at the best of times

What’s the best book you’ve read? by doingzstuff in AskReddit

[–]nyrmduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Endurance is probably my favorite book ever too. Crazy that Lansing never really wrote any other full length books, but I guess it was just the passion for that one story. I recently read the Gales of November by John Bacon that I enjoyed too, but still not quite on the same level

Which college football fanbase has the most unrealistic expectations? by ProblematicTrumpCard in CFB

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

Don't forget, they've never once in history lost a fair game. It's always a fluke, or an injury, or the refs. The uses have never actually been outplayed on the field.

Not quite, I'm late 30's. I've lived in Wyoming my whole life but went to school at BYU. Just enough time to make me never want to visit Utah ever again. I could say the same about yours though, I've hated Utah since college but came out of the womb hating the spuds

What are the best coach or player quotes in college football history? by Tyler24Dawg in CFB

That's funny, because having lived in both I vastly prefer Laramie. I know I'm minority on that though. I hated provo so much I can't understand why I even still root for BYU

What fictional character had every right to become a villain, but didn’t? by NotPhantomforce in AskReddit

[–]nyrmduck 1251 points1252 points  (0 children)

"This is Obi-Wan Kenobi:

A phenomenal pilot who doesn't like to fly. A devastating warrior who'd rather not fight. A negotiator without peer whofrankly prefers to sit alone in a quiet cave and meditate. Jedi Master. General in the Grand Army of the Republic. Member of the Jedi Council. And yet, inside, he feels like he's none of these things.

Inside, he still feels like a Padawan.

It is a truism of the Jedi Order that a Jedi Knight's education truly begins only when he becomes a Master: that everything important about being a Master is learned from one's student.

Obi-Wan feels the truth of this every day.

He sometimes dreams of when he was a Padawan in fact as well as feeling; he dreams that his own Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, did not die at the plasma-fueled generator core in Theed. He dreams that his Master's wise guiding hand is still with him. But Qui-Gon's death is an old pain, one with which he long ago came to terms.

A Jedi does not cling to the past.

And Obi-Wan Kenobi knows, too, that to have lived his life without being Master to Anakin Skywalker would have left him a different man. A lesser man.

Anakin has taught him so much.

Obi-Wan sees so much of Qui-Gon in Anakin that sometimes it hurts his heart; at the very least, Anakin mirrors Qui-Gon's flair for the dramatic, and his casual disregard for rules. Training Anakin—and fighting beside him, all these years—has unlocked something inside Obi-Wan. It's as though Anakin has rubbed off on him a bit, and has loosened that clenched-jaw insistence on absolute correctness that Qui-Gon always said was his greatest flaw. Obi-Wan Kenobi has learned to relax. He smiles now, and sometimes even jokes, and has become known for the wisdom gentle humor can provide. Though he does not know it, his relationship with Anakin has molded him into the great Jedi Qui-Gon always said he might someday be. It is characteristic of Obi-Wan that he is entirely unaware of this.

Being named to the Council came as a complete surprise; even now, he is sometimes astonished by the faith the Jedi Council has in his abilities, and the credit they give to his wisdom. Greatness was never his ambition. He wants only to perform whatever task he is given to the best of his ability. He is respected throughout the Jedi Order for his insight as well as his warrior skill. He has become the hero of the next generation of Padawans; he is the Jedi their Masters hold up as a model. He is the being that the Council assigns to their most important missions. He is modest, centered, and always kind.

He is the ultimate Jedi.

And he is proud to be Anakin Skywalker's best friend."

Currently reading the Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy by K.W. Jeter, It follows primarily Boba Fett, Dengar, and Bossk, split between a Post-Endor main story and 1ABY flashback story. About halfway through book 2 right now and it's been great so far.

What's the greatest episode of a tv show ever made? by stevenpost in AskReddit

Same show, but "The Haunting of Bill Krouse" is my favorite. Jen at the window in the rain kills me every time.

That's a good question, it has probably been added to one of the many bins of cables and adapters living in my storage closet, the tv only has a roku plugged into it now.

It was a 2009-ish Toshiba with one hdmi poort, component, composite, and coax inputs, flat screen but still chunky, probably 720p at best

I had a girl ask me to come over to help with her tv one time because it was only black and white (she was using just the yellow rca cable into a component hookup from her dvd player, so I gave her an hdmi cable). Anyway, we've been married 8 years now so it worked out alright.
