If he kicks it would this be the shortest reign of an English monarch?

TIL that the albino raven in "A Night in the Lonesome October" novel, named "Tekela", was pronounced in the audiobook reading by Roger Zelazny as "Tequila". I'd always thought it was "Tek-eh-la", similar to the "Teke-li-Li" cry made famous in "...

you're crazy if you don't think they aren't already spying on you to target ads. recently on a roadtrip with my dad, both our phones started giving us ads for things we had talked about during the trip.

not googled.

talked about.

with the phones sitting in the cupholder charging.

this is the least accidental accident to happen recently

I've heard they want the cluster bombs not to use as cluster bombs, but to disassemble them and use the submunitions for small drone bombs.

i can't remember who, but i remember one of the OG members here used to have this as a sig image, and it still holds up almost 20 years later.

you now have a Doge

points for it being Russia are that the water behind the dam was allowed to build up well above the normal levels before it was blown, and that freshwater reserve tanks in Crimea were recently topped up.

i can't remember which, but IIRC one of the early books of the Yuuzahn Vong war had a ship drop the main characters onto a Vong held planet and then hid in the stars outer layers until it was called in for pick-up.

There already are background checks for everything but person to person transfers, and with no criminal history the background check would be passed anyway. from what I've seen they'd already been seen by a phycologist and cleared to start hormone therapy. so none of the most commonly brought up poi...

IIRC the version used currently is the M1911A1 that was developed in the 1920s I thought there was a SF version developed in the last 2-3 decades? what you're looking for is the M45, which is basically just the 1911 with some modern aftermarket upgrades, most noticeably an integral picatinny rail f...

I suspect that the people in charge of Nuclear retaliation rely on their own detection systems and not if a the state broadcaster airs an "Attack Imminent" announcement. You wouldn't want to trigger World War 3 because someone wanted to test the system and pressed "transmit" ins...

I wonder if Wagner group would switch sides if this continues? If the Front would collapse without the Wagner group, what would happen if they changed sides? Wagner isn't really an independent PMC though it's more the 'plausible deniability' arm of the Russian military, or Putin's personal janissar...

hey look some free stuff that can be donated to use against Russia, sounds like a Win/Win.

Hopefully these are the battles that will break the invasion, because from everything I've heard THIS is the attack Russia's been building up to for the last few months, and it's currently falling flat on its face.

i'm not sure about as part of a martial art, but I've always thought a weedeater with the circular saw attachment would make for a really nasty melee weapon, all the ripping power of a chainsaw but with standoff reach.

it is indeed a Californacation intended to drum up fear and news viewership

I'm sure it's just 20 years away now...

here's what I'm seeing, mostly it seems just the icons.

are the site colors, and especially the icons behaving strangely for anyone else?

this is how he should have handled that kaiju thing from the first Vader comic, call in some danger close orbital fire support.

It's fairly easy to rationalize the 25k figure without going into minimalism, that number could just be for ISD I's not including the Deuces, Tectors, or any of the other Imperator variants. To go farther it could just be that it was the number ordered from KDY, and does not include ships produced a...

i've always assumed that hypermatter exists in an FTL state, and inverse relativity effect happens if you try to slow it down. what the reactor is doing is containing the hypermatter while slowing it down, thus it begins giving off energy while gaining mass as it gets closer to C. bigger/more advanc...
