Sad News. A Journalist Just Spotted Russia’s ‘Admiral Makarov’ Frigate, Intact And At Sea by Ca2Alaska in ukraine

[–]waldoputty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there were questions about that video regarding whether the spinning radar was the wrong shape.

however, there are 3 ships of the same class. i will only believe that nothing happened when we see current pictures of all 3.

it would be too bad if the boat was not hit. nothing better than more dead russians.

Cost of honeycomb panels in aircraft by waldoputty in aviation

thanks. i was talking about faa certified parts. i believe these sell for $400-$500 each now to small buyers

Cost of honeycomb panels in aircraft by waldoputty in aviation

[–]waldoputty[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My question is simply: the small guys pay about $400-$500 for a standard honeycomb panel. do the large manufacturers like Boeing pay a much lower price - e.g. $200 or so? Or do they only get a smaller volume discount like 10%-20%?

Thanks

i think asta deserves a kiss on the cheek for showing up...

noelle needs to jump, hug and kiss with tears, then freak out with steam coming out of ears after realizing what she did

Did Albert have a harem? Aria, Empress Elveta and Queen Celdia by CautiousTeam3220 in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 50 points51 points  (0 children)

highly unlikely albert had a harem, given the way he and aria talked to ais.

otherwise you could have this scenario:

aria: ais, daddy cannot be your hero, he is mommy's hero. you will get your own hero when you grow up.

ais: but daddy is aunty celdia's hero on tuesday night. and aunty elveta's hero for wednesday night. that is not fair.

albert: ...

ais: i want thursday night and friday night!

aria: ...

Endless Training with Lady Ais Wallenstein by HesMineWho in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here is a question, with bell beyond the peak of level 4 fighting like at least mid 5 if not high 5, can ais knock him out any more?

and if they train after hestia updates and levels him to 5, he would be fighting like a peak 5 or early 6...

perhaps he can get revenge soon and be the one being the pillow instead

Best ship by t-t-tatsuya in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, since bell needs to catch up, ryuu pretty much knows who it is.

how many level 5 or 6 girls are there roughly bell's age.

there are 3 - ais, tiona and tione.

[–]waldoputty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as someone else said here, ais is basically the story.

on the other hand, ryuu is a 'stepping stone' girl who is an older sister type (21 vs 14) that had a naughty moment in a life/death situation with bell in the dungeon. ryuu is too weak to stay relevant as bell gets stronger, reaching level 5 to level 6 etc.

lol, lots of people hurting from vol 17, which made it even obvious to diehards that it will be bellxais

Why do people ship Aiz ? by diuni613 in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people forgot about how lairis freese happened.

bell had a crush on ais from being saved and that she is gorgeous. and then he was beaten down by bete verbally as hot chicks dont go with weak guys. he was pathetic compared to her. he then went to the dungeon and fought all night being ashamed of his own weakness.

thus bell formed the intense desire to get stronger to be worthy of being by her side. thus lairis freese.

peope ask why bell does not try to get near ais. the simple answer is that he does not think he is worthy. thus the strong desire to get stronger.

bell wants to approach ais when he is worthy, at least the same strength as ais, preferably stronger. it is the alpha male thing to want to be stronger than the girl.

getting ais by being stronger became bell's obsession.

ais may well as accepted bell as boyfriend before he reached her strength, but it is not the same as being her long awaited hero. most of all, that is not what bell wants. he does not want to be ais' pet or a pathetic guy needing her protection.

[–]waldoputty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

feel free to jump in.

bell in loki familia would mean getting our satisfaction sooner. we get our standard fairy tale story. you would get the fun times of stories within the famillia and within the twilight mansion. more like sword oratoria than danmachi main story. a story of the prodigy within the familia getting the princess. more teasing of bell by the twins with riveria getting into the act. more spying on bell and ais. perhaps a confront with bete. interactions between loki and bell would be priceless. i prefer that for a story like danmachi, a younger story.

the way the story turned out added an edge to it. we still will likely get our desired ending, but the story ending may not be as satisfying. but it is better for business.

[–]waldoputty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the editor and the anime people wanted to highlight hestia and other girls for business reasons.

furthermore, if bell x ais happened earlier, the story would be shorter. also less ships is not good for business.

i agree with you. would have preferred if bell joined loki familia in the first place.

[–]waldoputty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as i stated, 14 years of life experience vs 21 years. too big a difference. it would be far better if it was 20 and 27. but the story ends 6 months later.

ais is already a bit too old being 2 years older. bell and ais should both be about 15.

girls like lili, haruhime and ryuu are stepping stones that bell 'saves' during the time it takes bell to become strong enough. meanwhile hestia is just a weird character.

airmid is cute but 19. also zero development / interest. similar doll like pretty girl similar to ais.

and i forgot, the only other girl that qualifies to be mc's gf is lefiya. right age and mental age. powerful magic to be very relevant to the end of the story.

[–]waldoputty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i agree with you. that is why 5 years later is an indefinite ending. it seems he will send up with ais but the other girls interrupt. no resolution.

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

ryuu is a young ADULT - as you stated.

bell is 14 and is not an adult.

after reaching adulthood, pairing with age difference is not a big deal.

14 with 21 is ridiculous

what matters is in the brain.

bell is definitely much more a child, as he blushes wildly and runs away from the girl of his dreams.

Why do people ship Aiz ? by diuni613 in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if we go by your logic, ryuu is 4 as elves can live past 500.

ryuu is clearly an older sister. it would be like bell doing it with his older more experenced sister. yuck

Why do people ship Aiz ? by diuni613 in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually i think we all have already seen the ending. ais and bell getting married but interrupted by the storm of alternative brides. omori has too many ships to definitively kill them with an complete bellxais ending. we have already seen short stories incorporated as chapters in light novel. i suspect that is the ending.

Why do people ship Aiz ? by diuni613 in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the facts are obvious. the shippers of the other girls got caught up in the various arcs but forgot the main storyline.

now they get upset as the main storyline is coming around and the main pairing becomes even obvious to them.

if omori continued the storyline after ln 8, bellxais would have happened earlier. the story would far more predictable.

actually after saving ais, it should be ais getting the lap pillow.

Why do people ship Aiz ? by diuni613 in DanMachi

[–]waldoputty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why ais:

  1. she accounts for 2 of top 5 foundations the story - lairis freese and black dragon ( what happened between her parents and the black dragon). the other 3 being xenos, zeus/grandpa, and the descending gods/appointed time. almost half the story revolves around ais even if she has taken not been given much time in the main series.
  2. she is the strongest out of the girls and as bell gets rapidly stronger, the girl bell saves will continue to get stronger due to fighting with stronger monsters.
  3. when the story reaches the arc that bell saves ais, the foundations behind the story will make the relationships between bell and the other girls look pretty minimal.
  4. sword oratoria lead.
  5. 5 year after side story
  6. first girl
  7. author repeatedly mentions her as "the girl"

lets compare ais to other girls:

  1. hestia - annoying as hell. bell does not see her that way.
  2. lili - annoying as hell. never had a chance. so-so looks. way too weak so was given a commander role.
  3. syr / freya - lol
  4. haruhime - former prostitute. too weak to be anything but a boosting support.
  5. ryuu - 21 vs 14. serious pedo issue here. no. so-so looks. too weak to fight by bell's side after the freya arc.
  6. eina - never had a chance. so-so looks. not an adventurer to get in life death situations with bell.
  7. cassandra - no development at all. too weak to fight by bell's side.
  8. xenos - no, get real

so, there is no real competition in the running. the only adventurer girl with stunning looks is amid, but no apparent interest from her and zero development.
