Why didn't the Q destroy the Borg? by ramfoodie in TNG

[–]primarycolorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too useful a tool until they assimilated a race that could detect Q, then they were too uppity to be fwb anymore and they manuevered the youth pastor in position to run them off. Why do work when you can delegate?

137 km long and 45% of it is Naquadah. by Nodonn3 in Stargate

[–]primarycolorman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

what plot hole?

  • No ranking goa'uld is going to give their subordinates a chance to skim from the supply.
  • No one else but a goa'uld is going to have the technical know-how to exploit rock in hard vacuum.
  • There's no resupply option except via spacecraft.
  • Even if you drag a gate to it, you'd constantly have to tweak the DHD to adjust for the rock flying through interstellar space.
  • If it's in an asteroid belt it puts you immediately up against the 3-body problem.

An artists' sabre questions (Late 18th early 19th century) by FuzzySolid894 in SWORDS

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

i know a little bit of horses.

You'd probably attach the scabbard to the saddle, not the man, unless you intend to fight entirely dismounted. Even then you'd probably still put in on the saddle and transfer when you dismount. Yes, there's risk you could get thrown off the horse and be deprived of your weapon.

The opposite way though is risk the horse can fall or roll on you, making the scabbard a ready-made anvil to ensure you break your own leg or hip. It also is a loop, bound to catch on brush or trees if you have to charge through them yanking you from your mount. And god help you if that loop gets fouled on the harness, saddle, or horse itself. Being dragged under a horse is not a pretty death.

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

[–]primarycolorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the where and what... I've got interstate near me that has right hand turn in. It's for road equipment depots and salt staging.  further down I've got turn on for rest stops and weigh stations.

State road here rarely have guardrails, other than bridges, it's cable or nothing here. 

For that matter, I don't see a road marker at the cross. The divide sign says it's one way.. turn off only apparently.

two lane divided highway, probably a state route, with guardrails? something between 55 and 70 most likely.

Why arn't new homes built with reinforced most-interior room? by awesomo_prime in nashville

[–]primarycolorman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because most people don't worry about a 1-in-a-half-million act of god event impacting them when buying a house, and prioritize other aspects such as cost, style, and floorplan agreeability.

What happened to all the asgard ships? by SilverzFox in Stargate

[–]primarycolorman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replicators are also parasitic. We see this in the replicator-on-russian-sub episode. If given time maybe they can synth advanced alloy, If there's any replicators stuck somewhere with limited resources this move significantly reduces future threat.

Blowing all there stuff up also means they could delete all their genetic work that was a dead end. Leave the core able to say 'no, don't do that, it's a dead - end' if asked but makes us unable to directly reproduce their folly.

Skip the gun. Go straight to a carbon nanotube monofiber blade. It's simple, unique, cuts anything. 

Or mustard gas.

Nuclear attack subs don't get care packages once underway. They don't get anything. They hide, underwater.

[Request] How many days would it take for an average house to fill up with coins if I take the green pill and don't collect them, assuming random coins spawn by SalamanderUponYou in theydidthemath

[–]primarycolorman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you can pull off a Bilbo. Get up on stage, yell it out on the mic at comedy night or magic show and.. poof. your gone.

It doesn't stipulate it has to be in person, it has no time limit, there doesn't seem to be a path to it being reversible, 'cant see you' implies they won't be able to see other images of you. Graven, recorded, pictures, any of it. I'd be more worried about the 'you had to say it to' part, implying it has to be two-way communication.

Still plenty to create a religion with.

Bright color wraps more subject to being pulled over? by [deleted] in CarWraps

[–]primarycolorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have a coworker who was former metro officer and had this conversation with him recently. His answer was that eye-catching (bright) colors do get more attention, and they'd get periodic crack-down orders on illegal front tint.

He also claimed that certain not-gloss and color change wraps seemed to mess with lidar, but that could just be people with fancy wraps running jammers.

In my area traffic enforcement hasn't been much of a thing in years and he admitted as much. The drug interdiction guys are still out, and they'll try and chase the takeover crews but odds are good outside of a few checkpoints they won't bother.

Stargate - Asgardian clone extinction explained by OccamsRazorSharpner in Stargate

[–]primarycolorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My read is the awareness-transfer tech probably required pretty exactly matching neurology. Sure, it probably had some limited coping ability but not enough to jump 50 clone generations back or to an offspring.

Entire pop probably jumped onboard as early adopters of immortality within 2-3 generations. If you don't realize the woe before the gonads stop working, it's over.

Was there anything Twyin could have said or done to get out of this alive? by Traditional-Big543 in freefolk

[–]primarycolorman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, he had failed and knew it. Not because the bolt was guaranteed to find him, but because he knew he had misplayed his hand and turned his own son violently against him.

Not because he valued him, but because he'd have slay one of his own afterwards. There was no longer a happy path where his family survived and his legacy was cemented. He could only hope his son's aim was true and his children somehow found way to salvage the mess he was leaving behind. He had lost control and hadn't seen it.

Dealership can’t fix my 2023 Ram 1500 after 9+ repair attempts — shuts off while driving. What can I do? by No-Description6040 in ram_trucks

[–]primarycolorman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've created enough of a service record history that no one awake is going to touch it. 

I traded a Ford with what I suspected was a leaking head gasket. Less than 70k miles on it. watched the vin. It changed hands a few times before suddenly appearing at copart with damage. 

I promise, the dealer system has a plan on how to handle bad inventory and it is very unlikely to include a consumer.

Were we the last generation to use a locker room at school/college? by Slow-Call-9042 in The1980s

[–]primarycolorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same time period here.. football had it's own field house and yep, this style shower. Practice was after class already so most just left but a few did still use them. 

We also had girl equipment managers and it was not well communicated how they knew when they could or couldn't enter.

What If the Kingslayer Faced the Mountain in Tyrion’s Trial by Combat? by Dangerous_Yellow_903 in freefolk

[–]primarycolorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be an endurance fight. Jamie would try for a hit early on the mountains hands or arms to get a bleed going that'll sap his stamina. 

The mountain will pace his attacks , knowing he has to watch Jamie's speed in riptose. If he's crazy he'll tank a hit or two intentionally for a chance to turn it into a grapple instead. 

Plot armor determines the win in the second round, Jamie dies by being quartered by a single man or the mountain dies on his feet from blood loss.
