How does that prevent you from wearing warm clothes?

I assume you don't have a scrotum to test for yourself, but oddly it wouldn't hurt at all.

The balls are ultra sensitive, but for some reason the scrote itself just laughs in the face of danger. You can pinch the shit out of it and feel nothing. Just pinching random arm skin hurts a lot quicker than pinching the ol ballsack. And stretching? Forget about it. That's the thing's whole job.

just keep the actual plumbing clear of the carnage

I took it like she's tryna fuck but isn't that into the guy.

Sure, but in any practical sense it is a temperature. It would be silly to say space isn't cold (or hot depending) from a regular person's perspective. Thermal balance creates an effective temperature, even if it wouldn't be described as a temperature within some technical frame of reference.

Heat transfer by radiation complicates things. We lose the majority of our heat that way, and we'd lose a lot more if every cubic inch of the spaces we inhabit weren't flooded with thermal radiation from the objects that surround us.

You can absolutely judge the temperature of a volume, vacuum or not, by its radiation content at any given moment.

It has too many digits, the wings themselves are giant webbed hands.

I love engaging with pedants like that. It infuriates them as I agree with all their overly-narrow points but then show how they don't support their conclusion. They don't really know what to do so they just keep reiterating the same irrelevant points over and over in slightly different ways. Sometimes the back and forth would go on for days when I was on reddit.

It's my way of having fun and paying penance for my past pedantry at the same time.

Naw, the guy's just a slut like that.

Wrestling fans know good kayfabe when they see it.

Of course, but ignoring such basic physics does look silly as hell when you notice it, especially when it doesn't feel intentional.

Your logic could be applied to make the suit do literally anything, but I'll bet if it had the power to grant three wishes you'd find it silly too. And that would at least be an intentional choice rather than feeling like an oversight.

Superman is even less close to reality, but it still looks funny to me when he picks up a building and somehow it doesn't collapse. Does he have magic powers to give the building walls super strength? Or did the writers not think beyond "Supes strong, Supes pick up big heavy." It felt very silly once I happened to think about it.

Doesn't make either of them bad, just makes me chuckle.

I'd call that a coup!

I think the complaint is that the suit accelerates toward the alien when the opposite must be true.

Thankfully it is not a law and congress can't change it. It's the 22nd amendment to the constitution and thus would require 3/4 of the states to ratify a change. A coup is more likely.

Yes, Kabosu was a gem.

I realize trolling nerds is part of the appeal, but this gag would actually work with heavier noble gases like krypton, xenon, or radon.

There is no* energy stored holding it together, just as there is no energy released when splitting a brick from the ground or splitting two magnets.

*The energy stored in the electrical repulsion of the protons is much much less than the energy required to break the strong force bonds amongst the protons and neutrons, so energy is consumed rather than released in a split.

I did not expect to find other Taiga dorks in here!

For the curious: Taiga dramas are very slow-paced (50-hour seasons) and on the dry side, but man are they excellent. The sets and costumes are beautiful, the characters and plots are compelling, and they're quite educational (as far as dramas go).

Most are in feudal settings, but they aren't constrained to one time period. There's even one about the split loyalties of Japanese Americans in WWII. Really hard-hitting stuff.

If 50 hours of mostly people taking to each other isn't a turn-off, I'd recommend starting with Hideyoshi. The lead from Samurai Gourmet plays one of the most pivotal figures of Japan's unification, covering his entire adult life from peasant farmer to supreme ruler. There's an atypical injection of contemporary salaryman comedy that makes the whole thing more approachable.

Taigas can be a pain to track down; anybody who's interested can DM me.
