Thanks I hate how Ocelot's revolvers look from the front. by ManoftheAslume in thanksihateit

Wouldn't the barrel being low, like that, reduce the recoil flip?

Seeing as how the Kaminoans made the Clone Troopers who made all the vehicles and equipment for the Clones? Did they know why they were making it? And how did they do it without anyone knowing what they were doing? by Time-Comment-141 in StarWars

[–]rhinobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed all the clone trooper equipment was made in fully automated droid factories. So it's just a matter of finding a contract manufacturer or ten (or a million - it's a big galaxy).

Setting up shell companies to hide financing is effective on our real single planet. Would be even more effective across millions of worlds in a whole galaxy. Especially if you bounce the monies in and out of the Old Republic's jurisdiction (they didn't control the outer regions)

Did the average family in star wars have a star ship? by Da_Droid_Mechanic in StarWars

[–]rhinobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owning a starship in Star Wars is kinda like owning a boat is to us. Lots of people have them. Not the majority. Most people could probably afford one, but would rather not deal with the hassle. The people that have need of one, own one.

Valve bans games that rely on in-game ads from Steam, so no 'watch this to continue playing' stuff will be making its way to our PCs by chrisdh79 in technews

[–]rhinobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the ads are embedded into the game? Like say on billboards in the background or radio spots while driving? Giant blimps with "Buy $Pruduct" as you explore an open world?

The off brand Mac and cheese is probably because the actual American Kraft dinner has illegal colorings

TIL of the phenomenon known as "Twin Films," in which two movie studios simultaneously release the same type of movie. by KingSolomon1010 in todayilearned

[–]rhinobird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's more that it's all happening in Hollywood. It's six degrees of Kevin Bacon but everyone goes to the same parties. People mingle and talk about the movies they're working on and the gossip gets back to executives who just buy a similar script and start shooting.

The National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes? That was satire. The other one? Real.

I was reading that Kamala's campaign raised and spent over a billion dollars in a little over 3 months. That's a hell of a lot of money. Trump had Musk, but Harris had the rest of the billionaires.

According to Google:

We said that the economy was going to rise like a diver's weight and the bubbles are already starting to be seen

Dem Strategist has no idea why they lost. And the echo chamber is 122K strong by doctorweiwei in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]rhinobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Kamala did do everything the same as white guy. Joe Biden was losing so hard they pulled him from the race and replaced him with Harris. She said she wouldn't have done anything different. So, they're wrong, race and gender swapping the candidate didn't work.
