US Will Act Alone Against North Korea If China Doesn’t Help
Salkafar replied to H222G981's topic in Philosophy
I love how they are concerned about the US citizens living in South Korea - but apparently not the country or its people. I wonder whether Kim is really such a fool. He stands to gain nothing from pursuing this course, but he can lose everything. Why did China allow this to happen? -
At least nobody turned out to be a Black Lanterner. Although those would probably have involved questions like "what kind of shroud would you wear" and "would cremation have been an issue for you".

Adamantium vs High Frequency Blades
Salkafar replied to H222G981's topic in Guyver Science / General Science Lab Forum
Adamantium never melts. It's an alloy; the components are mixed and after they are properly melded, you have eight minutes to pour it - making sure it stays at at least 1500 F - and after that, it sets no matter the temperature and is indestructible and unfazed by heat from that moment on. Yes, Wolverine has eye sockets, but your eye sockets do not open directly into your brain; instead, the optic nerve runs through a narrow, curved canal - there is no straight line opening between the outside of the skull and the brain pan. Your remark about bone being living tissue with blood vessels running through it is absolutely correct; it compelled Marvel to come up with the idea of 'Beta Adamantium', which can bond with organic tissue without impeding its functions. Technically speaking, Wolverine has been functionally, metaphysically immortal beyond the limits of his healing power for a long time in Marvel comics; he used to struggle with the Angel of Death - yes, literally - every time he was close to death, and won each time. The arrangement was apparently suspended a few years ago. http://www.cbr.com/wolverine-marc-guggenheim-lazaer-azrael/ And of course it's nonsense, it's superhero comic books. It's no more nonsense than the Guyver - in fact Wolverine and the Guyver have quite a bit in common. -
Adamantium vs High Frequency Blades
Salkafar replied to H222G981's topic in Guyver Science / General Science Lab Forum
More or less true*, Sully, but we're not discussing hero vs hero but whether the sonic blades can affect adamantium - and I do not believe they can. You are not entirely right about the raw power: even if the method used to disrupt molecules is not the direct application of raw power, you still need a minimum level of power to induce the molecules to come apart - there is a level of bonding energy to be overcome, after all, and in adamantium this is so high it doesn't melt even in the core of a star; and the frequency blades, or even the gigasmasher, cannot match that level of power. *Wolverine has been stripped down to his skeleton before, but because his brain is inside his indestructible skull, he still regenerated. Happened during Civil War: Nitro exploded and blasted the flesh clean off his bones. -
Adamantium vs High Frequency Blades
Salkafar replied to H222G981's topic in Guyver Science / General Science Lab Forum
Easily. Adamantium is stated outright to be indestructible, and repeatedly shown to be such in practically all cases. The Hulk cannot break it, Thor could barely dent it by smashing it with Mjölnir and it does not melt even in the core of a star. The only thing that can readily affect adamantium is molecular rearrangement, which in this context is a fairly specific effect of a special device. Ultron created it and uses it to keep his adamantium body from freezing up. The Guyver armor does not possess sufficient energy output to affect it; the frequency blades disrupt materials by emitting reverbating vibrations which shake molecules apart, but if anything, the feedback might damage the blades. Vibranium would also be unaffected by the frequency blades because it would simply absorb the vibrations they emit. -
...It never occurred to me before, but this is pretty bad news. Do you have that much rage in your heart?
-
This could be pretty huge.

They seem to be avoiding the 'political' subplot which took up so much time in the manga.

Agito has just forced Clumegnigg and Jabir to unfuse. And the Segawas are still stuck on the island with someone they still haven't realized is Archanfel.

Yes, I have designed and built things. Although I don't see how that is relevant, Sully. I am asking: what is taking up so much of his time, specifically? What is he actually doing?
-
"Helping design", you said. Helping design a sculpture of a character he has been drawing for thirty years. Helping a team of designers and sculptors design something. He's not doing it himself, is he? He's not sitting behind a screen, weighing meticulously this angle and that, deciding on material thickness, for ten hours a day? Or am I wrong?
-
How is that taking up all of his time?
-
No, Sully, I mean what is Takaya doing?
-
What is he doing?
-
Boy oh boy. I sure hope this ends with Goku confronting "Omni-King" over his drenn.

Anime you are currently watching and/or Downloading

Finally watching 'Cowboy Bebop'. -
I'll await the first reviews, just like I will with ''Transformers: the Last Knight".

I am not holding my breath: the Snyder Factor is still in play.

Isn't that just another android of the same model? He's got black hair, doesn't he?

If humans are exposed to the spores and the spores are like the black oil from 'Prometheus', shouldn't they change like Fyfield did? Or the way he was supposed to have changed? http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/4/4e/XenoFifield.png/revision/latest?cb=20140115133753

I just realized the man's 57 years old. I hope he manages to finish it before he retires. ...Oh, I get it. He has to take prolonged periods of hibernation between periods of activity. Maybe he should have trained a prodigy to act on his behalf.

A universe of furries? I am all for that.

Every now and then we are reminded that Goku is brain-damaged.
