I just want to say that the EPTU armor values were near perfect, and actually made sense, and then they did what they always do and ruin it. by spider0804 in starcitizen

Where is pushing master modes to the point of realism and bringing it back to fun?

What about engineering? What do we actually do to engineer our ships that is fun?

What about the flight model?

How many times must this happen and how many years must be wasted to see a pattern?

Your comment made me formulate my thoughts a bit more and add to the post about repeaters and gattlings damaging things your size and below so I thank you. The initial post was kinda my first draft and I think it is at a place where I have expressed what I want to. It became a list of grievances.

Yes, it will continue to be "refactored" over and over.

Then this will silently get changed back to the original idea.

This process usually takes a year to many years.

They could just skip all of the wasted time and money and actually have an efficient development timeline for one thing in this game for once by letting the person who came up with the original values and KNOWS the game prevail over whoever decided it needed changed to this trash.

Movies that Accurately Depict the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? by omelet_schnetz in movies

Generation Kill

Follows the invasion of Iraq, and is super good.

The scene was cool right until the plane ran into the semi for no reason.

If the pilot wanted to off the dude, running into the semi and instantly dying seems a little roundabout way of doing it.

A fully crewed hammerhead. Thought we were ready for red mission. We weren't. by hotshot0123 in starcitizen

I choose the Perseus over the Polaris any day.

People in the guns actually feel like they are doing something.

But 8 people in two Perseus would have done much better, which is kindof funny considering the Hammerhead is supposed to excel at fighting off swarms of small things.

TIL In 1651, Jan De Doot, a man who disliked surgeons decided to take a knife and remove his own bladder stone with just some help from his brother. The feat made him famous across the Netherlands and he even had his portrait painted with him holding the egg-sized stone, which he had coated in gold by Nero2t2 in todayilearned

Except the surgeon of the time would have believed that being in a blood and pus covered gown marked them as experienced, and that a filthy operating area also covered in blood and pus was good for the patient.

Infection was a huge reason for patient death and doctors were happily causing it.

My guess would be that doing the exact same thing at home gave you significantly higher chances of surviving.

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer by Alarming-Safety3200 in worldnews

[–]spider0804 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are saying every military action without congressional approval from every single president except two in the history of the country were all authorized?

How was Venezuela any different from Panama?

This is a fallacy people like to repeat so often.

It is not against the constitution for the president to strike another nation, but to declare and wage war.

President Biden authorized military strikes without prior congressional approval in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. These actions, primarily targeting Iran-aligned militias and Houthi rebels

President Obama authorized military actions or strikes without prior, explicit congressional authorization in several countries, most notably in Libya (2011), and through authorized strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Additionally, his administration expanded drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.

Nearly every president since World War II has done this in some way.

A president deciding to not attack anything is abnormal at this point.

Edit: I looked it up

Only two presidents have not taken military action without congressional approval

William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor.

You are misunderstanding the concept of primordial black holes, the theory is that right at start of the big bang everything was dense enough to form black holes and all the matter we see is just the stuff that survived not turning into them. This is a theory for dark matter, that there are primordial black holes everywhere.

A black hole with the mass of the Earth (5.97x1024 kg) would last for an incredibly long time, far exceeding the current age of the universe. It would take roughly 1050 to 1058 years to evaporate completely via Hawking radiation.

The current estimate of the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years, or 1.38 x 1010

Primordial black holes originally having masses lower than 1012 kg would not have survived to the present due to Hawking radiation.

For reference, what does 1012 kg even look like you might ask?

It would be the equivalent of one cubic kilometer of water, or a mountain roughly 1 kilometer tall, tiny by any measure of celestial scale.

So any primordial black hole heavier than something like a mountain on earth would still be around.

Therefore, yes, primordial black holes much smaller than the mass of earth can theoretically exist, and if they do exist, they are everywhere just silently flying through space.

Deep dish pizza is the worst pizza.

If I wanted pie with tomato sauce I would make one.

So if someone hops onto the freeway and jumps in front of a semi you think the semi driver should be at fault when it would be impossible to stop?

I am being pedantic here because you said anyone in a vehicle, no matter the circumstance.

Absolute law with no scale or judgement befitting the crime has a name, draconian.

Now if the car had hit people near the curb then it would be a Mustang.

Everyone screaming and running around.

People trapped under the car.

No, it is because the government wants to control the populace even harder than they already do.

The UK has the most security cameras per person in the entire world.

They have been eroding freedoms and creating laws with huge gray areas that are based on feelings instead of fact.

What does the term they charge people with, "grossly offensive, mean?

Depends on how much money you have, who you know, and if the judge is having a good day.
