@Comunitynots @MarioNawfal As much as we like to pretend to, nature's wrath still outstrips the amount of instant destructive power than humanity can generate.

@Comunitynots @MarioNawfal because big earthquakes release more energy than nukes

@NobleBear @SammyTosser @ALegendaryDrops Unfortunately, there's not really much customers *can* do with the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, publishers have sometimes sued people for trying to revive dead games through reverse engineering. We can't move forwards if that threat exists as a legal weapon.
English
@SammyTosser @ALegendaryDrops Thanks for the clarification. And, yeah, that's fair. I have yet to see anyone disagree with the problem Ross has identified.
I simply disagree with the remedy and think the broader community could come up with something better.

@Paladin_Plays_G @BeaverBallJr @EL_GONZO_OK @ALegendaryDrops It is my right to go to Disney, spend $500, go on one ride, and leave.
English
@BeaverBallJr @EL_GONZO_OK @ALegendaryDrops but that's not the same experience, it would be like going to Disney and riding half of pirates of the Caribbean and getting off at the restaurant.
English
@Paladin_Plays_G @BeaverBallJr @EL_GONZO_OK @ALegendaryDrops So? If those 3 friends what to play Helldivers on an empty server, they should get to play Helldivers on an empty server. Who are you to decide what they're allowed to enjoy?

@Cakez77 @KoltPenny @jackvaniadev TF2, maybe? Connects to valve's server to authenticate inventory, but community servers self run is build into the game, and mods can replace the item system if Valve vanishes one day.
English
@KoltPenny @jackvaniadev Good point, but an example of a competitive game, build from the ground up with a server in mind to help with cheating is the argument put forth by many devs, would be difficult to change. He claims it's been solved, but provides no examples.
I wonder if there even is one?

@kanegitsuneZero @Robot_Bastard @designed_future @brennan_nnn IIRC Airbags are meant to stop your head from slamming into the steering wheel, and also neck whiplash. Racing helmets have a strap that stops the neck from flying forwards. Seatbelts, uh, don't.
English
@Robot_Bastard @designed_future @brennan_nnn I was originally told that if you weren't wearing your seat belt the air bag WOULD DEFINITELY INJURE YOU.
At which point, seat belt is the only good safety device anyway.
English
@HarryVoyager @64_isaacs Ah, but the B model can hover and do water rescues.
Probably.
English
The only quible is it would probably be the B or the C model. Probably not the A model.
Probably the C version. Or at least the C wings and tail, even without the carrier kit.
Actually a model built to A specs, with the C surfaces for the Coast Guard would probably be hilariously awesome and piss off the USAF pilots to no end.
English
know what. fuck you.
*coast-guards your F35
English
@TXLibertyFella @64_isaacs Well, F35Bs can hover. Maybe you can hide a stretcher inside a pod attached to a pylon.
English
@777Romangod777 @usairforce I also have problems with how the MIC works, but nowadays nobody can really design new planes at the same time a war starts, gotta do it before years in advance. Better now rather than find out your current equipment isn't enough in the future.
English
@usairforce I just posted on a page about this. Looks good, but, even the F-22 has not seen BVR combat yet.

Dominate the Skies
Get your first look at what will be the most advanced, lethal, & adaptable fighter ever developed... the U.S. Air Force's F-47.
English
@SealedGain @usairforce The idea seems to be having the "fighter" be the control center for drones to do the fighting for you.
English
@usairforce Should we be building manned aircraft? It seems the main obstacle to ultra maneuverability is the human inside

@blazeringtrails @orcawhale @USA_Polling TBF it appears it was a bunch of fireworks in the bed that went off.
English
@orcawhale @USA_Polling the car was the bomb
there wasn't a bomb the car just exploded
also there's an argument the cybertruck is the best vehicle to use because a) the vehicle is a bomb too, b) if it catches fire it is literally impossible to extinguish the batteries, c) it's made badly. SHRAPNEL.

@arowx @SebMendonca @ToughSf Bent barrels were tested, only worked with tiny rounds and even then, destroyed the barrels.
English
@SebMendonca @ToughSf Can't the barrel curve, there were curved gun barrels that worked.
And there are smart materials that can change form, so a bendable barrel is theoretically possible.

A curious tank design using 'spinchamber' mechanical launchers to reach projectile velocities of 3300 m/s, about double of conventional cannons.

@MxedChiq @02_palestine @BNONews However, there's not really something that can protect you against slamming you into a wall at 150 mph, outside being tied down in a carbon fiber tub with a helmet and neck support device. I doubt that'd be popular.
English
@MxedChiq @02_palestine @BNONews There has been, however most of it is for the pilot's use, passengers don't see it. Better radar, communications, navigational equipment, component reliability, fire prevention, ice prevention.

@02_palestine @BNONews My husband and I had this conversation recently. They're producing cars that drive itself..yet no advancement on airplane safety.
English
@02_palestine @BNONews There's not much you can do against hitting a wall at 150mph.
English
@BNONews I dont know why until now theres no technology to improve safety for the aeroplane passenger ... rather than they develop more speed and more capacity ... why would they stop innovating for safety
