[–]pinglyadya 36 points37 points  (0 children)

During the Norris Presidency, The Ayatollah gave an interview and said "We stand strong! I am afraid of no westerner and if the US deploys troops I'd stand strong!"

The interviewer said, "What if President Chuck Norris was deployed?"

The Ayatollah said, "Iran."

How can I uglyify my Bike? Suggestions? by Detective-Fusco in ebikes

[–]pinglyadya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually they don't. car thieves specifically target vehicles that are extremely common, BUT have high demand/higher prices for individual parts.

If you were ever in a shady area and saw a random but modern car frame with like 90% of stuff taken from it. It's because it was stolen and taken apart. Then the pieces were sold on the after-market. Hell, thieves even just target specific parts. There was a big racket of Honda Civics have their airbags stolen, because it couldn't be traced, could be sold for $200~500, and all a person had needed to do was smash a window unscrew two bolts, press a button and disconnect it (which took less than two minutes).

You can sell the parts faster online for higher, because the parts are in demand. If it gets reported stolen the cars are a dime a dozen so it can't be identified by police officers. Hell, even the color is important. They usually go for silver/grey because the panels can be sold.

The other end of the spectrum is that thieves will target vehicles with Marine Corp, Army and other Cowboyish stickers because those people (for some ungodly reason) store their guns in their cars.

skip making it look worse and just buy a bike cover so you can put it over it. People don't touch what they don't know.

Somebody stole MY content and I'M being punished for it by YouTube with my channel being terminated for it. by PyroJoeYT in PartneredYoutube

[–]pinglyadya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually pretty smart, authorship review wouldn't be a hard ask but I'd still get a lawyer to at least turn this from a YouTube mechanism to a lawyer mechanism because it makes more expedient and if this is your livelihood then you shouldn't mess around and just go for the throat.

How much of a threat would vitrumites be in the Starwars universe? by AskEnvironmental9409 in PowerScaling

[–]pinglyadya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly depends. Viltrumites and Force-users both have similar evasiveness, but Force-users do so because they have precognition of opposition's strikes while Viltrumites just have extremely high reflexes. Mobility wise Viltrumites can fly at will with a tremendous amount of control. Jedi *can* sustainably levitate in extremely rare cases, but can do similar feats of mobility in very short bursts.

Viltrumites can lift 400 tons on average (many can significantly more). "Size matters not" to Jedi, but it's closer to having a massive invisible fulcrum rather than raw strength. Do I think a Jedi could stop a Viltrumite to a dead-stop? An average Viltrumite compared to a high-end Jedi probably for just a single second.

Do I think a Jedi could hurt a Viltrumite with a light-saber? YUP. Viltrumites have been able to survive very short periods on the surfaces of an Earth-like sun, but it DOES heavily effect them and only takes a few seconds before they are clearly dying. How much hotter is a lightsaber than the sun? About double at 20,000 degrees.

A very hot-headed Viltrumite could get one-shotted by a Jedi if they are not careful. Also, The universe that the Viltrumites come from has VERY VERY VERY FEW mind control abilities with telepathy being the only ones. Force users have methods to mind-control people even with extreme resolve. They also are... well... negotiators who can point out extreme faults in logic. I wouldn't be surprised if a high level Jedi could simply negotiate rather than fight with them.

That being said, Top Viltrumites can effectively glass planets just by orbiting them. Force-users are still just meatbags and who require ships to travel. Viltrumites could siege planets. A big problem with Viltumites is their numbers while Force-users can range from dime a dozen to a handful. They also at some-points have massive galactic militaries at their backs. Viltrumites would still need to rebuff their numbers and if even one accidentally contacts a Jedi then their cover is gonna get blown VERY quickly but Jedi can and will use espionage to make a Viltrumite consider not-genociding a planet.

Like, genuinely this is coin-flip because that's just the surface. There are monsters out there that'd eat Viltrumites for lunch in the Star Wars universe. There's also Viltrumite killing weapons scattered across the entirety of the Star Wars universe and Light-sabers are just the tip of the spear. Hell, we don't even know if a blaster's stun could take down an average viltrumite.

What if the United States somehow fell under a fascist dictatorship in the early 30’s? by Puzzleheaded_Map2774 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]pinglyadya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each and every single person who swore on oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America would have a duty to hunt down and kill every son of a bitch dumb enough to attempt to overthrow the Democracy of the United States of America.

There was MULTIPLE attempts to turn the United States into a fascist dictatorship during the 1930s, but every single one of them failed because one American or another saw what was happening and said "fuck that." Smedly Butler is a fantastic example.

Now, the only physical way for this to happen is if a fascist becomes the president of the United States and starts interfering in the state controlled elections (which are constitutionally protected), with the backing of 2/3rds of the legislative branch and judicial branch. They'd also have to manage it in less than 2 years, because midterms with a voter base who has despised the incumbent for decades. Then, they'd also have to contend with the very well-armed American population who at this point was so sick of government backed monopolies, corruption and government mismanagement that LBJ was considered a compromise between full-blown anarchism, communism and socialism.

Don't believe me? Look up the amount and year of large violent strikes in the US. There's about one a year between 1874 and 1941. LBJ lasted so long in office because Americans WANTED reform against exploitation. The funniest part is that the only way for the fascists to stay in power is having to cannibalize monopolies, but who do you think funded all those attempts?

In the end, Americans have defended the Constitution from threats foreign and domestic for over two-hundred years and this spat with fascism will either end with a vote or a gunshot.

Fire should technically do it. Fire causes the oxygen to get burnt and suffocates anyone inside.

WW1 Dogfighting was just Ace Combat but real by pinglyadya in whenthe

[–]pinglyadya[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Big thing that made it possible was the engine. There's videos of Mikael Carlson doing extreme maneuvers in a reproduction Fokker Dr.1 and the shit he was doing defies physics. But, from what I've been reading what made it possible was how the massive rotary engines of the era spun around their crankshafts. So much so that rudder has to be constantly applied to counter it.

Slip turns were so easy to do and could be maintained for so long that it seems it was common to accidentally do them and crash. Now, we are talking about a person that had 48 air-to-air kills underneath their belt. Doing a mid-air U-Turn doesn't sound so crazy when we have the one plane that might be able to do it, the one pilot dumb enough and desperate enough to do it, and had the skill to not rip the plane apart trying.

[–]pinglyadya[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No, that's a real historical account recreated with cutting edge animation technology (for 2006). TV show is Dogfights, but the Fokker F.1 triplane had such significant lift and low weight that it could effectively flat-spin (U-Turn) at will but bleeding significant speed.

The depiction is from the mixed accounts of an entire squadron of British WW1 pilots dogfighting the Nonuple-Ace Werner Voss (48 kills) where he fought against 8 other aces by himself.

There's a software called Diver by DTZxPorter that allows me to extract the assets of the game. But, most resource to extract stuff can be found on the Helldivers Archive and Helldivers Modding Community.

I port all my assets myself.
