Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
With Biden's health concerns and Trump's legal issues, how funny would it be if both parties had to scramble to put forth 11th hour replacement candidates.

Re: TIL: Today I Learned... (Join in!)
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 "...

Re: Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history
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.

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.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.
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.

Re: Ship immersed in the crown of a star ???
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.

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...

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
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.

Re: Rar. Neo martial art weapon showdown
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.
