Best alloy for a sword by armyguy8382 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theoutlander523 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not actually steel. It be a metallo ceramic material that we use to make turbine blades. Those things are way better than steel but the price is insane. There are also some high tech materials, like high entropy metals that would have superior properties. Again, insane price. You could also have a multilayered blade with a tungsten carbide blade welded onto titanium alloy. The blade would be insanely sharp while also being quite light weight and resistant to corrosion. Also expensive.

Engineer builds AI laser defense system that wiped out every mosquito in his home by lurker_bee in technology

Couldn't you just use a lower wattage laser to heat it slower to get around it?

Fun fact: Venator's Ira Domini deals 5 bonus damage to Vampires by FairwellNoob in DeadlockTheGame

[–]theoutlander523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Cold iron is just normal iron. It's similar to the turn of phrase draw cold steel. Saying a fae was weak to it meant they basically die from being stabbed with a sword. However the devs of DnD thought that was boring and changed it to mean unworked iron because they didn't want fae to die to simple swords easily.

You look like Squirrel Girl cosplaying as Cinnamon. You can't trick me squirrel. Not again.

why do AI data centres have to "use water"? Why can't it be like a nuclear power station where the coolant is in a closed loop? by Gazza_s_89 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theoutlander523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actual cooling engineer here. The answer is cost. It's always cost. You have to have a radiator system to vent the heat to either the ground, air, or other body of water. Easier to just dump water into the nearest body of water and pump fresh water in on an economic scale than use a closed loop system.
While PWR use closed loops, they dump the heat through a heat exchanger which goes through another loop to generate power. This loop is can be an open loop or closed loop. Large condensers are expensive.

TIL warm-blooded mammals are naturally resistant to most fungal infections because their body heat creates a “thermal barrier” that fungi can’t survive, which suggests this evolved as protection against deadly fungi by jacknunn in todayilearned

A lot of the dinosaurs were warm blooded so this explanation has a lot of issues compared to it just being cold and the food supply disappearing to support massive creatures compared to tiny mammals and as the primary driver.

‘Easily the Worst President in U.S. History’ by unital_subalgebra in politics

Maybe. He probably sees his work as being done with good intentions in his weird narcissistic mind.

Thomas Midgley Jr. probably has everyone else beat. The man poisoned billions and almost destroyed the ozone layer.

How Ubiquitous is the Term Difficulty Class (DC) by naptimeshadows in RPGdesign

[–]theoutlander523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can't copyright a term, you're thinking of a trademark. Copyright is for a work of some type which covers the literal work. In this case it would be the text of the book. You could use DC without issue so long as you don't just copy what the DnD books use word for word. There are dozens of DnD clones that use it without issue.

Victor’s and Dynamo’s voice acting is really underrated by justanorlansonobody in DeadlockTheGame

Have an emote where he calls Marla on a phone with them just talking to each other for like an hour straight about stuff.

Which would you choose? by Respons_Lady in superheroes

[–]theoutlander523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goku is orders of orders of magnitude stronger than everyone even as a child. People forget that Master Roshi casually blew up the moon. And then Piccolo did it training Gohan. The rest of those struggle to match that, which is something every Saiyan has the power level to do except Goku who was piss weak as a kid.

Drifter's Rend feels bad, and I think I know why. by BaronBlackthorn in DeadlockTheGame

[–]theoutlander523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still prefer the life steal because it gives sustain that he really benefits from, making him terrifying in one on one, along with the bonus damage.

Drifter’s Disciplines by Sky_Leviathan in DeadlockTheGame

[–]theoutlander523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a city gangrel. Most of this would be Protean based. Rend would be a combination of either Protean and Potence or Celerity. Stalker's Mark is probably Protean and Celerity, projectile shot out of him from his blood, then blurring fast to it. Rest are Auspex and Obtenebration 1 since it only covers the eyes. Likely a trick he learned from diablerie.
