wackyradiation5mthCommentedBattleships became obsolete as soon as planes were introduced. The battle of the Pacific in WW2 definitively proved that carriers beat battleships handedly
"Yes sir, the latest and the most advanced ship in the world. With state-of-the-art radars, communication, and weapon systems. Not even the latest Russian battleship would be able to compete with it in open combat," Captain Waldeck said confidently.- wackyradiation8mthCommented
Charlemagne probably thought something similar... and that turned out well...

also the fact that Daphne baited her before probably helps
If she was as naive as she was back in the first year, then she would have instantly forgiven them because her need for friends but spending so much time with Harry over the last few months had made her a bit cynical. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
calling something farfetched or a fantasy hile living in a magical world is kindof... shortsighted. at the very least without verifying the validity yourself else your a sheep
Just because his wife is dead does not gives him the excuse to fill her daughter's head with such fantasies. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
For those who don't know a trolley bad in America is a luggage or suitcase.
Perhaps that was also why a halfblood boy was able to invent the Trolley Bags while he kept crafting the old trunks. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
The free market is a treadmill. You have to keep moving or you'll fall off. Just because something is good now does not mean it will always be good. Just look at Blackberry. They had 90% of the market share. But they got complacent. Where are they now?
The problem with this whole situation was that he had relied too much on the teaching of his father and grandfather and had not given much thought to progressing in his craft. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
You know in Guantanamo Bay they did the opposite of this, with bright lights and blaring rock music. 'Enhanced Interrogation' as it were.
So torturing Rita Skeeter by leaving her in a dark cell where she couldn't even see her own hands and by not giving her enough food and water rubbed him the wrong way. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
don't know how your ability works, but within the games at least multipliers are generally additive.
I was planning to buy Zubat a Soothe Bell. But I wonder, if my ability is truly tied to the friendliness level, perhaps I don't need one after all? The Soothe Bell makes Pokemon become more friendly with its Trainer over time, about twice as fast as one would otherwise. I don't know the ratio of the ability mine gives, but lets say its triple the amount. That make me wonder even more, if I gain triple the boosted friendship level, and give Zubat the Soothe Bell, would both factor into itself, multiplying it, would it make it six times as effective? (A/N: Not a math genius, here, if you multiply two ratio factors into each other, that becomes six times as effective and not five times, right?) - wackyradiation2yrCommented
Remember people when dealing with law enforcement you have a right to record the interaction (at least in most liberal democratic countries *cough* China *cough*). But if you feel threatened and they are forcing you to stop recording, don't fight them there. The place to fight them is in court. Listen to their instructions and ask to speak to a lawyer and don't say or do anything until you consult one.
Amelia Bones looked at the memory for the 10th time and let out a tired sigh before a knock was suddenly heard on her door. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
You know I heard a theory once that the Weasleys weren't actually as poor as they seemed. But instead chose to live as paupers to instill lessons in their children. Perhaps similar to ascetic monks. Because if you think about Molly doesn't bother getting a job, even after Ginny is in school. What's she doing all day? As a pure blood it's not like she's gonna get descrimated by in the on market. Also as wizards their day to day costs have to be substantially lower then that of a regular family even with seven children.
The thing that surprised her the most was that despite their apparent poverty, her parents were still able to buy those two MP Lites which were surprisingly cheap when you think about all the hard work and resources that must have went in making that device. - wackyradiation2yrCommentedHe remembered from the movies that Voldemort had put a ton of charms on his pet snake Nagini which had the effect of making her almost immune to spells. Perhaps he would be able to do something like that for Selena as well.

See the thing with poison is that it's not about the poison but rather the dosage. Even something like radiation poisoning is dependent on the dosage reaching a threshold, below that threshold there's diminished harm. Bananas are radioactive because of the potassium but you don't see people getting radiation sickness from them. Same concept applies to most poisons. But some require extremely miniscule doses such as cynanide
What a pity. He was looking forward to being immune to all kinds of poison in the world as well. - wackyradiation2yrCommented
There are theories that they may release a new Eeveelution. Or possibly a new form/variant with the next game.
Since I'm planning to catch Growlithe now, I will have Fire and Water coverage. I also have Grass and Ice coverage, so that will leave me mainly to choose from Jolteon, Espeon or Umbreon. At this very moment, I'm leaning toward Espeon. - wackyradiation2yrCommentedCh 191 Ch. 190 Harry’s cleansing

ape together strong
"Yes, love leaves you with vulnerability and using it to train magic is a slow and tedious process but it has its strong point as well, such as allies and people you can trust, so even if you are weak you will be strong like that muggle saying, A single twig breaks but the bundle of twigs are strong." - wackyradiation2yrCommented
In case anyone is in a similar situation you have to keep telling people. There are also kids help lines set up in most countries. Some people may think it's better to stay in an abusive environment. Let me be clear: ITS NOT. Get out and get help. No matter how much harder things are on your own, it's much better than being held back and abused. It won't be easy, but the first steps never are. It does get better.
The first time I tried telling someone that's what I was told, he is just "too good of a man". The first, and the only person I told was a police officer when I was 12 years old. Turned out the officer was a good friend of my father from high school, he yelled at me and told me how much my father worked for me and how much father had loved my mother.
