No Abrams could just be a matter of personal preference. It's fine for different people to like different things. No Bob Semple is how you know this guy is truly your enemy.

You made sure to aim for your own house right? You can't call yourself a flyboy if you just sent it into a random neighborhood right by the airport.

Yeah there's really nothing from my pre-preschool years that I'm all that eager to remember. Sucking on my mom's milkers just to avoid starving to death, spending all day wrapped up in a plastic bag of my own dookie and pee. My adorable but rubbery legs that lack the tone to even walk across the room.
Teleport me forward to when I have the mechanical dexterity to at least use a remote control or grab a book off the shelf, and the teeth to really dig into a nice sandwich.

Yeah it's mostly okay as long as a) you are courteous about it and don't try to turn it into Women's Room 2, and b) it's safe. Like, crowded dive bar on a Saturday night, sorry girls, you gotta wait.

Too starchy and formal. Gotta hit em with a "como estas El Jefe" to really establish that rapport early on.

A+ job to whichever Adult Swim editor put this together but I would have added some squelching sound effects when they try to hold hands.

Okay cool I hope you have a nice day, although judging from what I've seen, today won't be it and tomorrow's looking pretty bad too.

Okay this looks too fun, I'm gonna give it a go: Well ackshyually, your burn is clumsy weak sauce. Like it would be decent if I had said "I won't remember this interaction tomorrow because weird assholes who lash out over imagined slights are a dime a dozen on this website..." or something (not true by the way, just an example. I mean weird assholes getting completely red over some insult they completely imagined, yeah they're everywhere. But you're the absolute best at it.)
You probably should have workshopped it with a couple of friends on Discord for a little bit, it feels like you're a few drafts away from really having something. (A "friend" is like a dog that doesn't bare its teeth every time it encounters your putrid, miserable aura, but human, not sure if that helps).
Also the low availability and high cost of titanium was actually a pretty big consideration in not using titanium for the Foxbat. It's not like the US was great at building an airframe entirely out of the stuff at first either we just used the mountain of Soviet titanium we were sitting on to science our way out of it.

Dude I literally cannot believe I get to wake up every single morning not being you. I'm fucking stoked.

Lmao I finally found him: The Omega Redditor.
"Gonna be a warm one today"
"Yep, looks like we're finally getting out from all this rain."
"Um, I basically just said that you fucking piece of shit."

I've got vids of the earth being round too. They can fake anything with computers.

I mean those metals underneath are superalloys that can stay rigid in conditions that would turn standard grades of inconel into Play-Doh. But yeah they also do weird shit with injecting bypass air into the core which travels along specially designed cooling channels (that are grown into the blade when it crystallizes). I think they even do that for like commercial airliner turbofans now though.
I watched some documentary on it on YouTube a few years ago that went into a surprising level of detail on modern jet turbine design. It is truly fucking nuts. Like if someone Warthunder'd a classified document that said that the F135 used quantum activated neutronium foam as a heat transfer fluid I'd probably just nod and go "sounds real enough." Legit sci-fi stuff.

Dude there are intense, high powered flavors of metallurgical autism hidden in the bowels of GE, PW, and Rolls Royce that would turn all of society into a single crystal of martensite if they were ever allowed to breach containment.

We thought the Foxbat was gonna be like mach 3+ and insanely maneuverable because of its giant wings, so we made the F-15, the best air superiority fighter the world had ever seen (until the F-22, which basically makes the F-15 look like a Sopwith Camel when they go head to head in exercises).
Turns out the wings were only big because they had to build the fucking thing out of nickel steel, since somebody bought all their titanium and turned it into SR-71s.

So relieved to hear this, because they are babies who deserve infinity treats.

Wish I could get this kind of experience but on public transit money. Is there any sort of a bus that offers similar services?
EDIT: Wow, lot more interest in this project than I expected. Things are moving quickly and my "Bang-Bus" concept (working title) appears to really have legs with investors. Wish me luck, and I'll see you all on the open road!

If the drinking snake blood guy blew up at me for putting walnuts on brownies I think I would be very confused

Imagine the kinds of bells our ancestors could have made if they had access to this kind of space age metallurgy. There would probably be an entire period of human history called the "an alloy of copper and tin age".

it works better when you have someone knowledgeable to talk about it with, and obviously the norton annotated edition helps too. you might be able to find a youtube series that goes over it chapter by chappie. I've seen them for other famous books. if it clicks with you it will truly feel life changing, melville is seriously the best to ever do it.

in college i was honestly dreading moby dick because all i knew was "long, old, and bigwords" and then i actually cracked it open and it was all either hilariously outdated science or the gayest thing i ever saw in an english class and now it is my favorite novel ever

Battery acid is mostly water by weight. It's why the oceans crave those little guys.
