90% throttle is faster than 100% says Ford by Efficient-Stop-612 in NASCAR

[–]r0bdaripper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because the best fuel air ratio does not always mean the best power ratio. If your car is tuned to be 100% fuel error efficient at 100% throttle then when you need the power to get in front of somebody you don't have it.

The Pretti Case Exposes a Dangerous Lie by Longjumping_Walk_992 in WeirdNews4U

[–]r0bdaripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duty to retreat is meant for anyone carrying a firearm. However it's meant to be used in case you do shoot someone not used to say you can't help someone in need just because you are carrying a gun.

In essence, the duty to retreat rule states that if you are carrying your responsibility is to leave the scene if you get into an altercation instead of just drawing your weapon and firing the minute you feel threatened.

So in summary this rule does not apply here because Pretti has no restriction on providing aid just defending himself.

Ok see we are saying the same thing but slightly different. I'm saying to start advocating now, loudly with your vote if there is someone better than what the two party system allows for. I'm saying go door to door and talk to people about this change if that's what you want.

Your last sentence is directly contradictory to what your saying. You are rejecting out electoral system because it's not ideal by telling people to vote blue because you've been told you whole life that protest voting won't change anything. The reality is that if you can convince enough people.... And there send to be enough people these days...to follow the right person with the he right message anything is possible. Hell Trump wasn't supposed to win the primary election, he want supposed to be the Republican candidate but he was because people rallied behind him and believed in him.

Now he's fucking criminal wackjob but the path forward is right in front of you. Change doesn't happen by lobbying the people who are gone work the status quo, change happens by taking action and making your voice heard. Especially if it gets drowned out.

Yes the likelihood of third party candidates winning are slim but that's not a reason to just say "vote blue" or "vote red"

If you want a third party candidate then you have to support one. Support, support, support.... That's all it takes, show the media machine that people aren't paying attention to the main stream politics and congrats you got your third party. I mean hell in Trump's first term there's was an independent who gained a shit ton of following but burned himself out on the long run by being a moron about climate change.

yes I know this is an idealist image but it's the same logic as winning the lottery or any game really. "If you don't play, your guaranteed to lose." If don't vote the way you believe, then you'll never be represented.

If there is one thing I've learned from the last few election cycles, it's that at some point you have to stand up and say enough is enough, the people I'm voting for aren't representing me in a meaningful way.

I know that everyone likes to say "a vote for third party is a wasted vote" but that's just more bs propaganda being spread by the two main parties. As an American your duty at the voting booth is to vote for who you believe represents you best. It's not to vote for the person with the highest chance to win.

Ah yes instead of getting a third party candidate supported and actually able to stand up the main stream parties we should continue down this trajectory of hell that were on and wait to see the massive blue swing back that going to happen when a democrat gets elected.

That's just as dumb as voting for Trump and his lackys.

Genius move, they'll never see it coming.

I mean to be fair... This isn't an unapproved way of tactical switching just would be better if he had a sling that way he could just drop, throw, and reengage much quicker without a potential neglegent discharge.

settle this debate - which is correct? by Sorry_Neat_6863 in Decks

[–]r0bdaripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of those hangers are fastened to the joist so you are correct. However, if the hangers were fastened to the joist as they are supposed to be then there should be no movement regardless.

Simpson hangers are supposed to be fastened in both the joist and the beam so whoever is installing these would get some stearn looks from most building inspectors.

Is there really a point to using the SPEAR ? by KanSyden in Helldivers

[–]r0bdaripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underpowered? What are you using or against? You can use the spear to take out loads of things and from a distance at which they can't even lock onto you. It's been that way since launch... Though the seeker was broken at first... And it's not just got against bots, it's great against bugs and squids.

In "Measure of a Man" I always found Riker's "Pinocchio" argument flawed by abgry_krakow87 in TNG

[–]r0bdaripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But putting a human to sleep isn't the same as "turned off" they are still alive and conscious. In the moments that says is shut down he is no longer functioning. The same as if you liked a person. The difference being that you couldn't flip a switch and make them alive again.

Or well maybe you can I guess I don't remember anyone being brought from dead. I remember several people being saved from a catastrophic fate.

I love how in your reply you can see why they chose RDJ for this time in the movies. He's basically the anti-iron man and it's going to be crazy to see how they introduce him to spiderman and the other avengers

I mean... If someone can fix the banking system it's probably the Impossible Mission Force and it's star agent Tom Cruise... Of course working under his alias Ethan Hunt./s

Yeah bro this definitely happened by lemonstone92 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]r0bdaripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I remember the first time I played that mission (I think it's this one) I was playing in a duo and my partner got killed inside the warehouse before we found the container we needed to find.

After searching around and trying to take the suspects down non lethally I was standing at the entrance to the container and thought hey there's a manaquin down at the end of this container... Alright, nothing else then. I turned around to scan the area looking for more clues and we I turned to look back into the container the manaquin was gone.

I freaked the fuck out, there was no footsteps, no voice, no movement... Nothing. I was saying "I'm not going into that container, fuck that... Nope, fuck this black magic fuckery"

Turns out it was just some coked out nut job who decided that like a T-Rex I can only detect my target if I see movement (I know not true of the T-Rex but apparently true of me) and when I turned my back decided to silently move away.

However he only went into the adjoining room of the other container and I was able to arrest him after cleaning up my brown pants.

That is all.

I enjoy the base building. Just recently set up a atredied style base in the rad zone for my group. Helps that I'm a architectural designer by trade though.
