he hurled Imperial desk jockies around and did the same thing to troopers that's at least more impressive then most in the films...

If you're talking about what was seen in the movies, he's done nothing I can't do.
I can (I know, because I've done in plays in front of hundreds of people) lift a man weighing 155 pounds above my head, and hold him there, unaided, for almost a minute.
With the same leverage as Chewie has in the movies, I can do everything he did, and I am not the strongest man in the world, by far...
The Preds in the movies, like the one with Arnold, who lifts Arnold, a 230 pound man at the time, using only one hand, shows immense strength...
The one in AvPR, holding on to two Xenos, shows immense strength...
Boba?
Weakling with weapons in an armor...

And the Pred that was beaten by Danny Glover's character?
He had been sprayed with liquid nitrogen to freeze him, shot at point blank range more than only two shots by a sawed-off shotgun, and then had one arm cut off by Glover using his own disk...
He certainly had lost a lot of blood when he fought Glover in melee in its vessel...

Boba wankers...
Sheesh, what can you do?

yeah I'm a former wrestler I'm well aware that most people in decent shape can lift some one like that or hell over head lift a guy..Preao I'm just trying really hard..really hard to keep the SOD up so that I don't have to concede that I could probably kick the crap out of one of my favorite childhood characters man...

it's like the only thing I have left as a warsie..man c'mon!! heh

...

theres also the one in the first AVP movie who hurled a xeno into a stone construct then picked him up and power slammed him...while I'm not too sure how much a Xeno weighs it looks like it has to be in the high hundreds of LB's and this particular pred tossed one about fifteen feet and was man handling it like a rag doll

Boba?

his dad was better slightly so

yeah that's what I was saying plus he ate it through a wall on a pretty high fall and had to cauterize his own stump so I doubt he was in the best condition

down side to all this the original guy who played the pred in the first two moivies died of aids a year or so after that film came out

Lets face it the stunt man is not gonna wanna hit at a few 100mph just to get a good shot lol but as saying that breaks suspension of disbelief warsies are stuck with him getting knocked shitless IN ARMOUR by a impact i used to take regularly playing Rugby in a cotton shirt....heh.

now this is sad going by feats I could of no sold that flown back to solo and dropped him with a jet pack powered elbow drop...

i am saddened now

high school greco Roman and then the more poor mans MMA free style stuff for about five years- never really any good

I did do some of that pimp'npopcorn shit as you call it for local stuff was supposedly good enough they offered me to go to a developmental territory but I never considered it more than a hobby and it;s one of most corrupt scum bag professions around

Did you and your team mates spend time after the match oiling and massaging each others tired and bruised muscles lol?..:).

I cannot really take the piss as im old enough to remember and be part of the days when all the players got in a massive bath together after a game of Rugby.

no, oiling no thank god

we did that in football though. Rugby is a game I never played my cousins did though I played the American version

in highschool wrestling yeah and since our team was the "knights" my uniform was sadly a very metalic silver with gold shiny leotard like thing-I will speak nor more of it

for the other stuff my "gimmick" was a magnificent bastard/hardcore type so sorta like ECW guys I wore jeans an old undershirt and usually something over it..which where I live meant doing that in 90 degrees wasn't too fun

[Mr. Oragahn]

I took a look at Ricrery1 (see, sort of Ric rery 1) being caught up in one of those never ending threads about Warhammer 40,000 firepower.
Sadly, it isn't being as constructive as others used to be. Still, there's something I read which I think needs to be corrected.

Just a nitpick, megaton and megatonne are not the same thing. A ton is not equal to a tonne, a ton is 2000lbs, a tonne is 1000kg(or approximately 2205lbs). One is imperial, and one is metric, add in that using "ton", you have to then decide if its long ton(2240lbs) or short tons(2000lbs).

The two units cannot be interchanged. They have different values associated with them.

Though I think it is the other way around, Ton is Metric - 1000kg and is a measure of Mass, and Tonne is Imperial - 2000 Lbs and is a measure of Weight.

No he is correct.

Ah, my mistake.

Yeah, trust me, when it comes to such units, I don't usually make mistakes, worked in construction for many years, structural steel, where we constantly were using both metric and imperial measurements

Now, you have to be careful, because kg is mass, yet it is "used" as weight, I put used in quotations, because when we referring to something weighing 2000kg(ie a metric ton/tonne), its actually kilogram-force, not just kilogram.

So, when referring to mass, you can use tonnes as well, so long as it is defined as 2000kg, and not 2000kg-force. Or rather, its a Megagram(1tonne).

Its why kg is so confusing, because we use it in every day life, but are using it incorrectly.

Not as far as I'm concerned. As a matter of fact, both AA and SS4 are wrong. Let's take a look at wikipodunk to get it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton

Many people use the metric ton, but never bother writing the full term and only go for "ton", just as how people who may use the long or short ton rarely bother pointing out at first that they're either using the long or short one.
So you basically get:
long ton (US, 1102.31 kg) > metric ton (International Rulers of All that was, is and will be, 1000 kg) > short ton (UK, ~984.21 kg).

The ton is a unit of measure. It has a long history and has acquired a number of meanings and uses over the years. It is used principally as a unit of weight, and as a unit of volume. It can also be used as a measure of energy, for truck classification, or as a colloquial term.

It is derived from the tun, the term applied to a barrel of the largest size. This could contain a volume between 210 and 256 gallons (800 to 1000 L), which could weigh around 2,000 pounds (900 kg) and occupy some 60 cubic feet (1700 L) of space.

In the United Kingdom, the ton is a unit of measure which, when it ceased to be legal for trade in 1985, was defined in British legislation as being a weight or mass equal to 2,240 pounds (1,016 kg) (avoirdupois pounds). In the United States and Canada,[not in citation given] however, a ton is defined to be 2,000 pounds (907 kg). To avoid confusion, the former is more specifically referred to as a "long ton" and the latter, a "short ton"; neither should be confused with the metric ton (tonne), which is 1,000 kilograms (2,205 lb). While they do vary, a ton is generally one of the heaviest units of weight or mass referred to in colloquial speech.

The term "ton" is also used to refer to a number of units of volume, ranging from 35 to 100 cu ft (around 1000 to 2800 L) in capacity.

This is why a megaton actually can be the same as a megatonne.

When we come to the TNT equivalent: "The ton (or tonne) of TNT is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of one ton of TNT. The megaton is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 petajoules."

Ah well lets see what the mods do this time:

Ignoring the fact that at best Pegasus is a low end calc event so CANNOT refute high end calcs (even though leo1 tried to use it that way) i do sill say the timeframe for the event is very relevant and very clear.

what is ricery angle? can some one please explain the goals of that lunatic?

I wonder what's up with Leo's abuse of the :- thing. Is it something sexual that creeps up into each of his post without him noticing or what?

[Kor_Dahar_Master]

I wonder what's up with Leo's abuse of the :- thing. Is it something sexual that creeps up into each of his post without him noticing or what?

Dunno but he is obviously still getting support from the mods as he can still ignore the burden of proof or force it onto others:

Firstly he tries to dismiss the fact that Riker knew the position of the Romulan ship (a thing he denied Riker knew at first).

Data: scan of grid 157 is complete i am moving to grid 158.

Worf: The Romulan warship is still searching grid 270.

Riker: They are sure spending a lot of time over there, i wonder if they....

Geordie: Commander i think we might of just struck pay dirt..

So Riker clearly knew where the ship was and had in fact been keeping tabs on it by what he says..


Leo1 replies with this:

What does that have to do with anything? Absolutely nothing, from where I'm sitting. Does he know if they're still in that grid as of later? No evidence. Does he know if they've moved to another grid since? No evidence.

Now to me if i was going to claim the ship had moved to another grid i would need to prove it and provide evidence but apparently all Leo1 needs is a lack of evidence saying it has NOT moved....("LATER" = 60 seconds btw lol).


Then we also have this (60 secs later as i said) where worf clearly states the warbird has changed course and is heading towards them and Riker clearly says why or at the very least says why he thinks they have changed course.

14:41 Worf: The Romulan warbird has altered course once again they are heading towards our position.

Riker: They probably want to see what we are so interested over here.

And Leo1's reply to that:

Does he know that if they're on their way back they're actually heading straight for the Enterprise-D, or are merely coming along that general direction, searching other grids? No evidence.

Apparently he considers Worfs clear cut comment to be vague in regards to the direction the ship was heading AND says they maybe searching other grids.....and again his basis for this argument is the fact that they did not include that the romulans were NOT doing it..


The entertaining thing is that all this is to rebut the fact that riker formulated his destruction plan while thinking time was a big factor and the fact is we KNOW what Riker thought they were doing as he says so "Riker: They probably want to see what we are so interested over here" so his retarded position is worthless anyway as Riker himself says he thinks they are heading over to see what the E-D is doing and as such the short time issue would still be part of his destruction plan when he made it.




Oh and FYI they banned me for a while over:

1. A bunch of insults (guilty as charged but not as much as others who do not even get a warning for it as you well know).

2. And for failing the burden of proof, partly for this and partly for telling the atom to get fucked when he demanded i answer his strawman link to Ramas points about obsession Ramas points addressed nothing i had actually posted as all i did was post this:

http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost ... stcount=75

But apparently i failed the burden of proof for not addressing all this:

http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost ... tcount=127


Now i maybe wrong but the simple post i made did not make any of the claims that Rama was ranting on about so why the fuck should i have to deal with them and get a warning for not doing so.....

[Mr. Oragahn]

Well I didn't read much of that thread, and I don't know the episode, nor have seen it recently.
What I notice is that it's another of those Trek episodes wherein someone was fueled by revenge because science raped his mother or something.
We have an asteroid that would generate magnetic or gravitational forces preventing a shuttle from leaving it.
So basically the ~8 km long rock would have to many times denser than Earth and would obviously be round, and the rock that was melted by the Romulans should have actually dripped right towards the core at an insane speed, and provoked so much destruction that the whole thing would have collapsed anyway.
Lol.
Pegasus -> shitter.

Let's just enjoy that episode for the exchanges between the characters and pay little attention to the "science" of Trek in it.

According to Leo1 it is a standard roid and those issues are to be ignored....

I would fel sory for him if he was not such a prick as asteroids seem to butt fuck him left right a centre, we have the "SPLODING ASTEROIDS!!!!" in SW that scew any chance of reasonable yields being found in the franchise and his whine fest regarding Pegasus also requires he stick his fingers in his ears and shout "lalalala" when ever the oddities regarding it comes up.

He obviously has a complex about it along with others like him..:).
