This is reminding me of the time my friend's compost pile started blooming with orchids
My drum instructor is part Black and part Native American, and he's taught me about some complexities to identity when those are one's heritage.
I went to college slightly after this (01-05), and we had a directory of every student's campus email and (if they were in campus housing) their phone extension.
Hevisaurus for corrupting children with the idea that dinosaurs existed. [/snark]
Can we introduce her to Lordi next?

Only slightly more seriously, I was joking with a friend about getting more Authority characters into the DC movies, so Midnighter as a "too extreme" Batman could work to contrast The Detective vs The Vigilante.
Launch a million internet flamewars and use KGBeast.
Whose name is on the registration?
Batman vs. the DMV.
Although in that case it was named for its position in the county. There's also North East, Maryland, which is near the northeast corner of that state.

According to a CBC article about this, the judge gave the lawyers 28 days to submit a revised complaint of no more than 40 pages. That doesn't really say what an average would be, but it suggests what the judge considers reasonable.
Rocket-propelled jettisonable wings. No questions will be taken about fire-proofing the rest of the plane.
Yeah, and taking his numbers at face value and extrapolating out, it's *maybe* a 1% reduction in the overall population. I'd be more concerned with losing labor force, but that might be because labor economics was my area of interest when I got my degree in the early 2000s.
I think he's expecting a significant shift in the demand curve for goods and services from the outflow of migration, but I don't think the numbers are going to be big enough to have a significant disinflationary effect compared to the ongoing inflationary pressures.
Can we add "composing lists" to the list?
Early 40k was social satire with the trappings of science fiction. As seems to inevitably happen with satire, some people started taking it too seriously.
You could just grow a thorn hedge around the compound...
Also, if I remember my covers correctly, that bottom issue has a fun Al-Qadim adventure.
My first D&D purchase ever was the Birthright boxed set and Dungeon issues 58 & 59.
Might just be me, but my first thought reading the criteria was Final Girl = autistic.

Vermont is part of it, but they were busy releasing their vaccine recommendation and missed the official announcement.
My first thought on seeing "mavrogian" is that someone thought "mavrogiani" was a plural and that it removing the i was like changing "smiths" to "smith." And yes, any surnames that don't fit into English easily tend to get butchered - there are multiple cases in my family tree.
huge...tracts of canvas.
There must always be an outgroup enemy. If one goes away, a former ingroup must become the new outgroup.
My first thought was "oh, Babs isn't that picky about what sorts of violence she threatens people with."
Just over one month until THE LOST RELIQUARY comes out! 😱 But you can read an excerpt *right now* over at @reactormag (Ps. Thanks, Reactor!)
And the ensuing cases of "this is my three-foot-long knife." (e.g. lange messer/ großes messer)
No, John, I don't. How long *does* uber eats take to get from the north pole?
In July 1917 Cossack collided with the transport SS The Duchess. The collision set off its depth charges, sinking the transport and damaging the destroyer badly enough that it needed to be towed to Dover for repairs.
At the risk of sparking another thread, was Cossack "passing by," or was it still being repaired after blowing its own ass off with depth charges?
To be fair to the yard, work was paused for ~16 months to reallocate workers to Courageous and Furious, and the design kept getting tinkered with. They *could* have been complete in 1916 if they'd been a priority.
Perhaps, or maybe it was just a red parrot.
I need to finish something in-genre. I have a degree in economics.
Including how Robin Hood came along a decade later.
Abra. I don't wanna be here, fuckitybye.
Oh. This explains why I suddenly got a like on a post from Ye Olde Dayes.
They could have gong bigger - Paiste makes an 80" (2.03 meter) symphonic gong.
The throwing pretzels are supposed to be a Philly ninja secret.
While that is a great name, I feel like Philadelphia deserves a Lewd Alexander.
Me, watching John Wick 4: That poor odaiko didn't deserve that.
Just to let you know since you identify him by his eyes, he's also in Dredd.
Other good novella series include Nghi Vo's Singing Hills Cycle (currently 5 novellas, with #6 due out later this year) and Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric & Desdemona (13 novellas and 1 novel, IIRC).

This sentence could have been one word (in German).
The territorial integrity of Ukraine is also guaranteed by treaty.
Yes. Israel has been using them as anti-drone missiles since at least 2018, and the United States has been testing them in that role from Apache helicopters and Gray Eagle drones, although in all of those cases they were Longbow (radar-guided) instead of Romeo (laser-guided).
And here I was, wondering if @faineg.bsky.social knew about this mammoth hog...
Zaamurets was a tank. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaamurets
A friend's father was a retired (US) submariner who stuck to the claim that ships are targets.
The Grapes of Peevishness
I just remember back to my world religions course and the paper I wrote on the cleansing of unrighteous souls in a river of molten metal in Zoroastian eschatology.
I've done a few preserved fruit recipes from All The King's Cooks (about the kitchens at Hampton Court Palace) that turned out nicely for me, but I didn't try to preserve them for a long time, it was more just to see how the flavor profiles would change.
Bonus - the nosewheel is also connected to the rudder and ailerons, so all steering is done with a single control wheel.
Blyat.
And overpriced boats.
The last Diablo-like I remember enjoying was Titan Quest, and that was at least partially because I abused pet builds.
...bless her heart.
One of these things is not like the others...
Have to say, I'm a bit chuffed that my joke about an obscure book series led to her thread that led to this historical thread. This is how social media should work.
I checked the novels, and they are credited to rk post. He did some of the Star*Drive RPG books as well - the campaign setting, Klick Klack, Alien Compendium 2, and Threats From Beyond. Also got credited for Tangents as "Randy Post," which threw me for a minute.
Eagles player of the game should have been Ceedee Lamb.
What is the butt rock of video games?

This might be unanswerable, but just how much meat were they getting from an eel?
Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, Sonny Bono, Betty White, John Astin, Delta Burke, Cesar Romero, Dawn Wells, Darren McGavin, Patty Duke, Lorne Greene, Eva Gabor, Bob Denver, Red Buttons, Leslie Nielsen, Fannie Flagg, Douglas Fairbanks Jr, Minnie Pearl, The Hoff, and the list keeps going from there.

On the one hand, we have no confirmed exomoons at all yet. On the other hand, we have at least three dwarf planets in our system with satellites that are 8% to 16% of the primary's mass (Pluto-Charon, Orcus-Vanth, Varda-Ilmare) that grossly exceed Luna's 1.2% of Earth.

I'm not sure which Firelord from the original Avatar works better - Ozai (Mark Hamill) or Sozin (Ron Perlman).
The director didn't want to make the actor stretch too much out of his comfort zone.
Or of later eras - they did their darnedest to kill off German-American culture in the early 20th century.
*Ducking
At one point in my last year of high school I had triple music. We only had four classes per day.
Just one infodump after another.
It's simpler to just disbelieve all of them.
John, if you start distributing swords to strange women, they'll lie in ponds and start systems of government that have no sound basis.
Yeah, to the best of my knowledge it was mostly to show off, because it was hard to get. I used to live near Oviedo (FL), which produced a quarter of US celery a century ago.
Why are story titles randomly popping into my thoughts with no plot, characters, or theme attached? Brain, that's just rude.
My high school was so behind the times that the two computers I had access to were some IBM-compatible in my English teacher's classroom (used for Quiz Bowl research) and a TRS-80 in shop class. I graduated in '01. The Trash-80 was still there.
It's a sign of how well the LCS program has gone that my first thought on seeing that picture was "why does the launcher only have two missile packs, not four?"
I wrote my senior thesis on how the economics of high-speed rail would make sense in the United States. That was twenty years ago.

Speaking of stormtroopers, one of the run-ins I remember from D*C trips of old is sitting down to eat lunch. At the next table was a stormtrooper and his girlfriend, whose tote bag had a Rebel Alliance patch sewn on.
*twitches every time the article says "Hamptons Road"*
Just your bog-standard preapocalypse, I reckon.
Those are both entirely too luxurious for the Grahamites.
The concept of a tank built on an agricultural chassis with no armor plate or large-cali er gun seems pretty limited from the get-go.
Back before the incidents where orcas killed trainers, they used to have small children sit on the whale's back. I have a photo of me sitting on one some time in the mid-to-late 1980s.
Parts of the zone rouge may not be safe for human occupation until the year 2700.
About 1/6 of Russia's federal subjects (their version of states/provinces) have a population density lower than Wyoming. The Russian Federation as a whole has a lower population density than Idaho.
China's pretty concentrated. About 60% of the population lives in less than 20% of the land area. The land area is proportionate to the land area of CA, OR, NV, AZ, ID, and MT in the US. The population % is ~equivalent to CA, TX, FL, NY, PA, IL, OH, GA, NC, MI, NJ, and VA (the 12 most populous).
