New bit idea: making a bluesky account with a donut and a US flag in the name and posting things like "As a somewhat conservative liberal, Stalin was right and he shouldn't have stopped at Berlin".

I hope at least one of them hits their head on something and dies.

You can take my Ameritrash bullshit from my cold, dead hands. Well, some of it, anyway.

Checks out, everyone I know who rides/rode a motorcycle has been in a collision that ended with them in hospital at some point. Not a huge sample size, but telling.

"We will continue to claim our sovereign right in Antarctica. Many governments have filled their mouths with talk of sovereignty, but have done nothing for it," he remarked, citing the threat of “drug-trafficking or Islamic terrorism.”

A quick google suggests lead is about 1/3 the price of iron ore. Nickel is around the same as lead, but it's only about 3/4 as dense.

It's fine, they can still golf all they want so long as they dial back on the harassment lawsuits by about 10%.

That one from 2018 where Robin Hood (here called "Rob") is a Lord who gets drafted into the third crusade. It has a fight scene modelled on the Iraq war, including such highlights as a ~~machine gun~~ arbalest nest.

I forget the specifics but the compression program they made got so good through a neural net that it would be able to bypass all encryption. They destroyed it and faked a botched launch that would have made them rich(er) instead of just selling it to the CIA so critical support.

 

Inspired by that Dune post.

Title. Just for walking around. Looking for something waterproof so I can wear them in rain or maybe light snow.

Last time I bought some new balance sneakers and they're full of cracks and tearing apart at the seams after a little over a year. I hate that everything is designed to fail immediately oooaaaaaaauhhh

 

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.

HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:

Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in fairness, was probably accurate for every player but the Xxcha. EDIT: Sol has a rep as being overpowered, so we nerfed it by reducing its starting fleet by 1 carrier. This did not seem to be enough, and it is now on the ban list, along with Jol-Nar.

Ghosts in second with 7 points because both other players gave him Support points in exchange for him suiciding into my invincible army on Mec Rex (not knowing that the game was already over unless they took my home system). This player is generally the weakest in the group, and failed to secure their slice until way too late, leaving them with little to do.

Hacan and Xxcha in third with 4 apiece. Hacan didn't really do much interesting, just spent infinite money to build up a giant fleet but that was no help with invasions, and was too late anyway. Xxcha built a fucking wall of PDS (6 total in a ring around Mec Rex, plus the flagship for 8), which prevented me from reinforcing with ships, but I think made taking it too dangerous for anyone else to consider. He also really fucked over Hacan early, blocking his movement with a cruiser move T1 onto tile 27.

 

This zoomed, in it's pretty easy to tell that all the fabric needs more blending, but this was a nice break from the rest of my army's usual white and grey-blue color scheme. Sadly some of her fingers on the right hand snapped off in transit and I was never able to reattach them. Even so, I'm generally proud of this one.

Base is transparent crackle paint over a blue basecoat, then drybrushed with grey->white grey->white to get an icy look.

RIP Astropaths ever being used in 10th, Nightshroud was too funny against Custodes. Mini is Astro Witch, by Victoria Miniatures.

 

Meatball Ron should be [actionable threat]

 

Technically it was done a while ago, but now there's a comm for it! The hull gun on the front is magnetized and can be swapped out for a laser, and the sides are magnetized as well so I can put sponsons on if I ever get around to having some 3d printed. The turret-hull connection is just a giant circular hole so it pops off real easy and I have taken to blu-tacking it in place for transport/games.

The actual name for the model is "Mars Alpha Leman Russ Incinerator", and I run it as an Executioner in 40k.

Behold, the warm glowing warming glow of the turret gun (which I'm still not really happy with even after like 10 revisions):

The last thing space fascists see before being run over:

Youtube, twitter, and reddit have obviously been in the news a lot recently, but every day business applications also seem to just keep getting worse. Got new PCs at work which means version updates, and pretty much everything we use (autocad, adobe acrobat, and ms office, mainly) all seem to run much slower, despite the computers having substantially higher specs. Love that I can't use any old versions or alternatives because they refuse to grant me admin access.

I love capitalist innovation! Why make things better when you could just make them worse and charge more?
