You’d be surprised…

Well I respect that, absolutely. I just don’t think I could do it.

And I don’t know, I guess I have a hard time letting go of reputation, like as a general concept. If you don’t retain some identity online, you lose that aspect of reputation.

God damn, well played.

Well done.

Did you try every letter up to “s”, or did you get it on the first try?

Well I think I speak for the youth when I say

Six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven…

Underated comment.

I think the word “if” is doing some heavy lifting there. I can’t really see it happening.

Does that not strike you as boring?

Like do you identify in any way with that moniker?

I feel like I would forget my username.

It’s a good change…

Back when I was in highschool I wanted a gamer tag that my friends would be embarrassed to lose to.

It started as simply cocopuff

I don’t believe you actually need any of that. The thing is, nuclear weapons are scary. When it comes to fear, actually capabilities barely figure in. Because what if it gets through anyway? What if the west sells them a super advanced delivery system? What if they try something we didn’t think of?

Better not risk it.

History has proven otherwise.

It turns out, that while everyone says that arms races and escalation lead to conflict… Actually, what we’ve seen is that waiving a big stick is the only true deterrent.

It’s true, at some point it becomes a necessity. I don’t know what to do about teens today, I haven’t gotten there yet.

My understanding is that it’s not policies they implemented, but rather technologies they developed and officially utilized. They have some sort of digital id system. I don’t recall the details, but I remember reading about it and saying to myself “oh my God, I’ve been asking for that for ages, and Estonia has already done it!”.

Essentially the idea is that you get private keys along with your birth certificate. So you can always prove you’re you.

Yeah, don’t give them phones.

Heh, I guess I wouldn’t say I “speak” it, but between programming games and actual coding, I think I’ve used 4 or 5 different dialects of assembly.

language that nobody speaks in your region

I realize this is a bit pedantic, but if you live in a city, there aren’t really languages that aren’t spoken in your region.

But for my choice, definitely Aztec. There’s nothing more fun to say than Aztec words. Tlachtli. Quetzalcoatl. Axolotl. Tlapalpoyactic.

(That last one is the word for the color “orange”)

This might be the broadest question ever asked.

That’s pretty awesome! I may have gotten old, but I never got tired of learning stuff about dinosaurs prehistoric beasts.

So what’s the deal with the pterosaurs, what makes them “not dinosaurs”? I believe the really weird looking silhouette is a Quetzalcoatlus, that’s just fun to say.

An excellent question!

Hmm, water would be a very difficult (though maybe possible) material to build with. If you used those long balloons, like for balloon animals, and filled those with water, that could make like a semi-rigid beam. Then it’s just a matter of using the beams to make a structure, an arm, and a pivot point. You could use unfilled balloons as additional teather and possibly to make a pouch for holding your projectile.

To help with rigidity, after filling the water balloons, you could then spiral some duct tape around the entire length of the balloon, like wrapping grip tape around a hockey stick, that would keep the balloon from expanding unevenly or bending, it shouldn’t flop all over.

Just to maintain the design themes, I imagine using this to fling water balloons exclusively at little sisters.
