A very wintery meme, this

[–] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago

I just wonder how tf they made this

 

I don't speak russian, but I've studied it alittle, and I do know the word Korolev actually means "king". But it's impossible to understand russian when it isn't pronounced right. The language is simply really mean on that. The stress is on the last syllable, meaning that it's pronounced (ROUGHLY) more like "karalév".

However, it seems weird that Russia would name it's ridiculously, out-of-this-world powerful military vessel "king", when they haven't had a monarch (and when they did, it was an emperor) for about 90 years at the time. And it turns out that there was a soviet scientist who worked on their space program who was named Korolev. So I suppose it's named after him?

Must've been awkward being named "King" in the Soviet Union

Selective cat breeding should be made illegal before we end up in the same situation. It'll happen soon if it's not stopped

The dutch! Why am I not surprised it's those two faced, bicycle-peddaling, oil mongerers. To war!

They have been the worlds largest company. So it's more or less everyone

Oh, so it is. I didn't know that. And holy shit do you like removing stuff. Madness

I agree that he's probably happy with this incident (given that he only recieved a minor wound, that will probably be very visible whenever he's infront of a camera. But his reaction of calling "fight" is prefectly in line with him being a very defiant person, who's also very politically savvy. It was a perfect response, if you want people to think all political opponents are the enemy.

And Trump also don't lack for "courage", if you can call an egomaniacs conviction that everything will always go his way that. I don't see anything strange with it, given his character.

I'd love to know why comments are being removed. Please post to !mods@sopuli.xyz

[–] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

He already had that with the coronavirus and stopped being against vaccines.

Though I think this is completely different. Being shot at for your political beliefs just means that the people you disagree with fear you.

Those are great notes, thank you! It's kind of a low-effort community though, I must confess. I figured if more people wanted to be part of it, it could become more serious with better formatting. Since that hasn't happened, I just threw in some stuff now and then to have any content at all.

Quite frankly you come across as a anti-feminist shitlord who has decided to be a busybody and make a whole community for you to be butthurt about feminist and anti-fascists mods. The reason nobody else contributes to the community you started is because you’ve set the bar so miserably low.

But yeah, you're right that might have meant I set the bar low. I was never much of a content creator. As for anti-feminism, yeah I am anti feminist. Not because I don't support and respect womens rights, but because under the guise of feminism, men become second-class citizens, due to the unfaultering belief that women always deserve more, and that being a man is a sin that should be punished. But that's not what the community is about. Anybody is free to post there.

I've mostly seen comment removals. Mods seem to use the option to remove comments instead of the downvote button... I tried to make a forum for mod abuse and discussions about how forums are moderated, but so far nobody is using it.

Post to !mods@sopuli.xyz if you notice patterns of that sort of thing, maybe we can get it going.

They are useful for dummies like me though! When I let my phone run out of battery while installing an update, I thought it was the end for it. But it turned out that it had just bricked itself by desperately using every single ounce of juice, so it could no longer tell the charger that it wanted to charge.

Solved by buying a dumber charger!

She's ugly as sin. Looks a bit like a sea turtle, but less graceful. She will, however, smash up enemies at 26km with her three cannon turrets. She was made to have good armour and good firepower, and that took a while to fix, but now she's can dish out enormous hurt at great range. If enemies get closer, she's got all sorts of shorter-range weapons that can defend her at close distance, and she has 6 PD-turrets to take down torpedos.

All in all, she's a huge success so far. Shame she's so ugly though, but function over form :p

 

Yes, this is your standard 'overthinking-stargate' post.

But given that the main rival to Jaffa and Goa'uld forces would traditionally be other Jaffa and Goa'uld, the primary (or secondary, second to policing civilians) threat would come from air assault and assorting air-support, given that Ha'tak could land, or bring gliders or both, and Al'kesh could show up independently of Ha'taks and gliders, you'd think that Jaffa would have ample air defenses. But as far as we've seen in the show, they don't.

What would complete the setting in that regard? Should they have had some sort of MANPADs? The ring-threading round gliders seem like the obvious choice, but they do not apparently make them as they once did, for some reason.

 

sounds cool though

I've played dozens of hours, but I still think I'm pretty much a noob. I've got 3 ships and the first 4 materials, although I've just started on the 4th, and the 3rd seems semi-useless. So I'm in the Titanium-age.

I play on normal difficulty, which seems maybe a bit too easy, but I hate changing difficulties in the middle of a playthrough.

Crazy Molly - Miner

This is the Crazy Molly. My first ship, and still a standard purifying mining ship. She's alright. Decent speed and she makes money. Small and not much use in a fight.

Neanderthal - Corvette

My pride and joy, the second ship - Neanderthal. She can boost-cruise (intermittent boosting) at nearly 3000/ms, she's got a modest but useful cargo capacity, and she's got nearly all the firepower in the fleet so far. She's covered in light titanium armour and has naonite stone on the front to act as a ram and fender. I somewhat unfairly abuse the fact that I seem to take a lot less collision damage than AI stations, when my firepower is found lacking.

Erectus - Fast Transport/Miner

She looks like the year 2002 in one picture

This is the Erectus. She's an R-miner, and the main breadwinner since her christening. She's covered in titanium armour for survivability and has a titanium stone ram, but she's not actually meant for fighting. She'll boost-cruise at close to 2000m/s and is meant to serve as both transport and miner.

Both Crazy Molly and Erectus suffer from poor jump capabilities, which I'm hoping to fix with research or by reaching better equipment stations.

Both Neanderthal and Erectus have been upgunned and slightly modified after the screenshots were taken, since I've been working on building new turrets on them today.

Next up I think I'll build another combat ship. Either a larger vessel with several torpedo tubes or long range-guns, or another Neanderthal. After that, I feel the need for a light transport to use for cargo missions.

Show me your fleet!

 

There's a lot of small kindnesses that we all recieve in our lives, especially as kids, perhaps. But I want to hear of those that you remember.

I was inspired to write this post by something that happened a few years ago. My old cat had stopped eating (for the second time) and he was clearly not well. He was about 17 years old and I took tim to the animal hospital.

The vetrinarian, a woman about my age (28 or so) told me that an examination and potential treatment wasn't going to be the right thing to to. She stayed with me for a long while as they were preparing to put him to sleep. I started crying and she stayed with me and told me how cats will have to face the end one way or another, and that I was doing the right thing. She comforted me through the whole thing. I don't even remember her name, but she was one of the kindest people I'd ever met.

Please share how people have been kind to you

 

Also called nazi by people, but that's alright. Not a nazi though

 

So much for politics
