A list of puns related to "Blip enhancement"
So this question is more of a general meta question combined with a question about a specific character.
My question is are the Marvel Netflix shows canon to the MCU right now. Iβm asking specifically because in Hawkeye, Kingpinβs feats of strength are inconsistent with his screen time in Daredevil. In Hawkeye, he ripped a door off itβs hinges, punched Kate Bishop across a room, and walked off getting rammed by a car like it was nothing. In Daredevil, his greatest feat of strength was punching a hole in a brick pillar and even that hurt him. Thatβs a huge difference.
Since I was done with studies, I had plenty of free time and decided to make a fully customizable trainer for FiveM-PREDEV to make the most of it while we are waiting for server side scripting.
I hate big walls of text, so I'll get straight into it:

Hello all,
This is gonna be a long post.
In celebration of Binance listing UST and LUNA breaking 100$, I would like to update my original post nearly half a year ago on the Terra ecosystem. There's a ton of euphoria right now, and so its always good to take a look back at the fundamentals.
A lot has changed since then and by now I'm sure many more people have heard about Terra, maybe even used some of its dapps. For those that are brand new, I recommend reading my original post first. For those wondering if it's too late to get into LUNA, I will present why I think LUNA still has much room to grow. I won't cover every protocol, just the ones I think are most interesting/significant. Still, there's a lot to go through so let's get started.
A quick refresher
Terra is a blockchain developed by TerraForm Labs based on Cosmos SDK (this is important because it allows Terra to connect to all other blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem, more on this later). Their main products are a suite of algorithmic stablecoins, the most prominent being UST tied to the dollar. UST retains its peg through its relationship with LUNA, where LUNA absorbs the volatility of UST. LUNA is minted when selling UST, and burned when buying UST. In practice, 1$ of LUNA always equals 1$ of UST, even if UST loses its peg. This creates arbitrage opportunities, where if UST is at 1.50$, you can sell 1$ of LUNA for 1.50$ UST and immediately bank 50% profit. This increases supply of UST as people sell LUNA for UST and the peg returns to 1. In reverse, if UST is at .50$, people buy 1$ of LUNA with .50$ UST, which decreases UST supply until the peg returns to 1. Again, videos on this below:

Stablecoins are the most important product in all of crypto, no question about it. I honestly can't imagine a time without stablecoins when people took profits into BTC, itself a highly volatile asset. But stablecoins are also not a risk-less product, they are subject to regulators scrutiny and issued by sometimes shady companies (cough...Tether) that may or may not have the funds available to prevent a bank run.

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I'm working on a radar/sensors system for Savage Worlds. Something a bit more satisfying than "roll Electronics to see them", but not going too far from FFF. I really like how Heavy Gear did it, so I'm attempting to pull that into SW.
(Forgive the somewhat disjointed format... this is mostly a brain dump...)
_______________________
SENSORS:
Most vehicles have a range of sensors, which can include radar, infrared, optical enhancement, and so on. For the most part, individual systems aren't that important, so we call them "sensors" for most settings.
Sensors automatically detect and lock onto targets in range. This registers as a "blip", and requires an Electronics roll to gain further information.
Standard sensors have a range of 60/120/240. (This doubles in air, x10 in space, 1/10th in water). Like ranged weapons, they impose a penalty to Electronics rolls based on size, range, cover, and speed. Sensors can use Extreme range, but there must be a reason to suspect a target is out there (say, a jet flies out of range), or it automatically fails. Certain other effects such as ECM (Jamming) or Stealth also can impose penalties.
HAYWIRE:
Haywire is a new effect, typically an effect of electronic warfare. It represents hacking into systems, overloading sensors, or damaging electronics. Any rolls involving the sensors or electronics of a vehicle under Haywire count as Distracted. At the end of their turn, vehicles under haywire effects roll a d6. On a 4+, they take a Critical Hit with a result of System. Vehicles under Haywire cannot use any electronics (this includes sensors, computers, communications, or ECM systems...)
Haywire cannot stack. Either the vehicle is under the effect, or is not.
Certain weapons can inflict Haywire effects.
Note that vehicles without significant amounts of electronics can never be affected by Haywire.
VEHICLE SYSTEMS (new and changed):
ECM Suite: This model possesses an electronic countermeasures system. A model with this trait may use the following trait-enabled actions and reactions. All actions require the ECM and operator to be operational... not shaken, powered, and not under Haywire. Should this change, the action immediately ends:
Maybe a hot or it may not be, Iβve heard the comment only a couple times but I didnβt really pay any mind to it until I started playing it today. My god, it is the most absolutely basic music Iβve heard for a series thatβs known for such ambient yet boppinβ music. Any track that is in any way captivating is a retread of older music, and those are more often than not mere blips and seconds-long nods, not entire area background music.
I donβt get it. Every other part of this game hits the Metroid beat perfectly. I was really on the fence about the whole βcounter attackβ thing from SR because it was horrible. It broke up the otherwise fast paced mechanics and exploration; it was dull and only slowed down the combat. But here, it shines. I never thought Iβd like it but now Iβm genuinely enjoying it. Iβm counter attacking dudes mid-air and moving right along.
Everything is perfect but that eerie, ethereal, gorgeous, other-wordly music is nowhere to be found. Nothing anywhere near memorable, not even close. Itβs such a shame because itβs one of those odd things that, while it wonβt kill my experience, it would drastically enhance the overall vibe and Metroid feel if the music was as good asβ¦literally any other entry.
Thereβs moments where you can tell they were echoing some Prime vibes and obviously thereβs the usual snippets of straight remixed moments, but overall it sounds like totally generic soundtrack.
Do your worst!
December was a month which started with one of the greatest victories in Chelsea FC Womenβs history - but ended with us having slipped behind in the WSL title race, crashed out of the Womenβs Champions League, and in the clutches of a COVID-19 outbreak.
From dreamland, to disaster. The heady heights of the FA Cup final win at Wembley, on the 5th December, seems a world away - rather than less than a fortnight. Chelsea were brilliant that day - it was a scintillating attacking performance which tore Arsenal apart. The 3-0 scoreline flattered the Gunners.
That win was widely seen as a big statement from the Blues. Arsenal had beaten Chelsea 3-2 in the first fixture of the WSL season, and been untouchable at the top of the league since - only dropping points once in a 1-1 draw against Spurs. Much had been said about Arsenal's form and that opening day win over Chelsea, with them subsequently being seen as the team to beat this year by the wider footballing world.
Chelseaβs humbling of our London rivals had been a reminder that the back-to-back WSL champions would not be giving up our dominance in English womenβs football without a fight. The nature of the victory was also seen as a potential psychological blow in the title race - with Chelsea now firmly putting the pressure on a Gunners side who looked naive at Wembley.
Winning the delayed 2020/21 FA Cup also meant Chelsea had completed the domestic treble - only the third English side (men or women) to do so, in what was a truly historic achievement for the club.
We were on top of the world. And then, just 11 days later in Germany, it felt like the walls of our castle had come crashing down.
The first signs of a slump began with a 0-0 draw against Juventus, in the penultimate match of the Champions League group stage. It was a tired-looking performance from Chelsea, but understandable given the exertions at Wembley just three days before, and the emotional highs of that day.
The draw meant Chelsea had not yet secured qualification for the knockout stage - but sat top of the group going into the final round of games, three points ahead of Juventus and Wolfsburg, and still favoured to qualify. It was not a good performance, but it felt a small and surmountable blip.
Worse was to come on the subsequent Saturday morning, when Chelsea suffered a shock defeat to Reading in the WSL. The Royals took the lead after just four minutes, and Chelsea plugged away for the next 86, but again looked insipid - and

Humans.
A fairly young species, to the mortals of the Galaxy, from a fairly boring system. After all, why bother with a system that seemed to have only one barely habitable planet when you could be colonizing and mining in systems with multiple life-sustaining planets?
To the various species of the material plane, Humans were an oddity at most, barely a blip on the radar, so to speak. Those who live or have important businesses in the surrounding systems would take note, and would begin the standard procedure for first contact species, but that's the most attention they would get. After all, there's so many unexplored systems in the galaxy it makes sense for there to be the occasional first contact.
Then the immaterial got involved.
It was well-known among the various species of the galaxy that there were more planes of existence than their own. The primary problem had always been breaching the veil, and ensuring a safe breach at that. Those of different planes, both higher and lower, were always interested in making Deals with the various Mortals of the galaxy, regardless of individual civilization's opinion on the act.
The occasional assistance in breaching the veil purely for the sake of entertainment was a common sight among those Entities strong enough to do so. Anything to break up the boredom of eternal existence, even if it drained their power for a significant amount of time afterward.
But the Humans were different. They seemed to be much more efficient at breaching the veil, and none could figure out why. None of the mortals, anyway. But we knew why, for we met them in their ancient histories.
The Humans had been contacted early in their development completely by accident. Whether it was a breach too close to their home system calling upon too powerful an Entity, or simply pure luck, but the facts were that contact was made.
A single, small Entity managed to pass through the breach and stayed within the material plane long enough to find them. It was discovered by this original entity (referred to as a Daemon by the Humans) that Living, or Freshly Spilled, Human blood enhanced any attempt to brea

The ship shook violently as an asteroid exploded sending out a massive shockwave. Lights flashed and the external damage alarm sang out. Captain Endaal adjusted his seat straps and called for a report.
βWe have a hull breach...β First Mate Letto was cut off as the ship lurched again. Thuds announced the arrival of debris from the asteroid, impacting against the side of The Nova-4x. "Correction, we have three hull breaches Captain, Portside, in Cargo Bay 2, the Mess, and Engineering. Cargo Bay and the Mess hall have completely decompressed. No one was in there, though, so no casualties there. Engineering reports their breach is minor, and are working to seal it."
"Navigator, get us away from these asteroids before another one explodes."
"Aye Captain." Navigator Civona quickly steered the ship on the shortest course out of the asteroid belt, her paws handled the controls so quickly that they were naught but blurs. They were nearly clear when another asteroid exploded, this time on their Starboard.
"Another breach in Engineering, Captain. They're losing atmosphere fast!" Despite his years of experience, you could see his cranial spikes lengthening in stress.
"Get them out of there!" Endaal could not afford to lose his humans, they're the only ones who knew how those bloody engines worked now.
"Captain, we're losing power to thrusters. We won't make it out of here." Civona reported.
"Damn!" Captain Endaal accessed ships communications "Quartermaster! Get some pressure suits to engineering now! We need those engines back up."
"I have already brought them down, sir, but the human engineers are still in engineering, and have sealed the door." Quartermaster Kerts sounded more confused than concerned.
Endaal turned to Letto "First Mate! What's the status of the atmosphere in there?"
"It's all gone, sir. Complete vacuum."
Endaal punched the comm channel to Engineering "Parker! what are you doing in there?"
"They can't hear you, Captain," interjected Letto, "No atmosphere, no sound."
What the hell could they be thinking? "Kerts! can you get that door open?"
"Negative Captain. Even if they had not sealed it on their side, the sudden pressure change in the corridor would cause catastrophic damage to this part of the ship."

#Vladimir Mayakovsky-Class Naval Trawler
The Vladimir Mayakovsky-Class Naval Trawler will be the next in a long line of Russian "Special Purpose Ships." Designed from the bottom up to be unmanned, the Vladimir Mayakovsky-Class will be a powerful force multiplier for the Commonwealth Fleet. While one would expect any modern warship to hide from Radar, the Vladimir Mayakovsky-Class makes an exception to this rule. With a hull constructed to amplify its Radar Signature, it is a full-size mechanical blip enhancer. It is equipped with electronic blip enhancers that will strengthen and re-broadcast an enemy radar pulse, making the target of the radar blip seem more significant. These two systems will amplify its Radar Signature, with the end goal to imitate an Aircraft Carrier.
The Ship will also be equipped with a "False Target Generator." A False Target Generator will be capable of recording and analyzing an enemy's radar pulses. It then inserts slight frequency shifts or amplitude variations into the recorded enemy pulse and then transmits it towards the enemy sensor. The False Target Generator will cause our Decoy Ship to look like an Aircraft Carrier and create Phantom False Targets at various distances around itself. The Electronic Systems will be improved by leveraging DRFM and Summer SPAI alongside supplementing the basic E/W System. The Basic E/W Suite will give the impression that someone is attempting to hide their position, further convincing anyone watching that this is a genuine HVU.
Finally, the Vladimir Mayakovsky-Class will be equipped to deploy thousands of rapidly-inflatable balloons that float on the ocean's surface. The Balloons are shaped to have a disproportionally large radar cross-section compared to their size. When utilized in conjunction with E/W and other deception techniques, they will be used as a distraction and seduction false targets.
