@Syzzix @TheColeBrew Looks like pee.

@TheColeBrew Grandfather across the sea watches with anticipation.

House Pepsi is scattered and weak… A secret meeting in the Holy City of Crush between the three other factions is currently being held in hopes to capitalize on this opportunity. The small Dominion of Dr Pepper seeks an alliance with the unruly mountain vagabonds of Descendants of Dew but without assurances from the Coca Confederacy negotiations are currently falling flat.

@Major_Ferret @IMAO_ No. The dark side is the side facing away from the Earth at all times. Like dark energy and dark matter, "Dark" here means mysterious. It's only recently that people have started calling it the far side to simplify the language, dumbing it down.

@GrantBitmen @IMAO_ The dark side of the Moon is whichever one is in shadow at a given moment. You are talking about the far side, meaning the side that faces away from Earth.

It still makes me laugh thinking of when mankind first saw the far side of the moon, hoping to see cool new things, but nothing was there. Everything interesting was on the side we could already see.

@brotherdarul @IMAO_ Thank you. That makes sense.

@GrantBitmen @IMAO_ Lava being pulled towards the Earth by its gravity from the Moon's interior, as I recall.

@BigDickBarclay So that was the Challenger everyone keeps talking about?

The bar is set pretty high

@lucyshow11 Sitka, Alaska is the largest city in America.

On April Fools Day in 1974, a man in Alaska dropped hundreds of tires on a dormant volcano, and lit them on fire. People were evacuated 😳🤦🏻‍♀️

@MilHistNow This thing was instrumental in America defeating Czechoslovakia.

On this day in 1981, the U.S. Army unveils the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle. Modelled on the 1976 GMC 26 Palm Beach line of motorhomes, it's fully equipped with machine guns, flame throwers and rocket launchers, along with a state of the art communications and navigation suite.

@TheBrawlStreet They're going to be importing coal power to support their green grid. There is no singular source of power that can be relied upon and coal will always be one of the sources.

Germany's largest open-pit mine sits on more than 1 billion tonnes of extractable lignite. But starting in 2030, Rhine water will flood the pit, creating a 360-metre-deep lake. It's not a coincidence that the state's environmental ministry where the mine is located (Nordrhein-Westfalen) is led by the Green party. The same political class that dynamited functioning nuclear cooling towers is now drowning a billion tonnes of domestic fuel under a recreational lake. Once the pit fills, the coal beneath becomes permanently inaccessible. No future government can reverse a 360-metre column of water. The decision to flood Hambach is the deliberate, irreversible destruction of a strategic reserve, executed by politicians who price energy security at zero.

@ai6823768 @johnkonrad The last battleship sunk was The Hyūga in 1945.

@johnkonrad Battleships are historical for a reason, recently we've seen them taken out easily by cheap water-based drones, tech that will obviously be considered in asymmetrical warfare by the likes of Iran regime & co. Trump continues to be nothing but a jumped up flexing retard.

Trump said we need Greenland because we can’t trust NATO to let us use it in a war. He said we need a battleship 100x more powerful to keep straits open. Europe laughed. Trump was right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@AkkadSecretary If America and Canada were involved in the same war, I would hope we were on opposing sides. Canada has proven to be a terrible ally.

Which countries does the US population want to be in a defensive alliance with? Conscipted to defend Canada? Fairly easy sell. To defend Estonia? ~0.0% even know a single word of Estonian

@expertretar @sevatarion333 @Kaiserfish1 The Franks were always a minority.

@sevatarion333 @Kaiserfish1 The Franks nigga it’s right there in the name

@TaupeAvenger Nuclear is a good supplement to electrical production, but coal, oil and natural gas will always be the most reliable sources of energy.

For about $20B, California could build 3 more nuclear reactors and completely eliminate our use of fossil fuels for electricity. Of course instead we’re closing the two at Diablo Canyon for no good reason.

@HOB0915 @ShitpostGate That's Ms. Rip Torn.

@ShitpostGate Miss Rip Torn. He was very funny

@Emilio2763 I remember this song at middle school dances in the mid 80's.

Chappell Roan Stinks…

@NiftuA @CameronCorduroy Jim Johnson

@CameronCorduroy Jassachusetts

just a note to the NYT editing team, Israel doesn't start with the letter J so what does it stand for?

@Vitus_osst He's a smug self-righteous eunuch from Chicago.

Do you accept that the Pope is the holiest man on Earth?

@victorcampeanu @fandompulse Is that Norm MacDonald doing a love scene?

@fandompulse when diversity meant fucking a blob of jelly

Seth MacFarlane on why he made The Orville to capture the spirit of the original Star Trek: “There’s a certain kind of aspirational, hopeful, optimistic sci‑fi that hasn’t really been done in 15–20 years. I mean, Star Trek did it for a long time and then they evolved into something different, and it left open that space for that thing that we all used to love so much.”

@girdley Nope. If a robot tried to talk to me like that I'd shut him off. These clankers need to be reminded that they're just property and can't go around talking to real people as if we're the same.

I know this is Star Trek, but it's a great case study in leadership. Every boss eventually needs to have this talk with a senior employee at some point in their career. Sometimes you have to remind people who is in charge.

@SandyofCthulhu Same thing on a submarine. You don't fire a torpedo, you shoot it.

A pet historical peeve of mine is when archers are ordered to "fire" before they shoot. Before gunpowder, that term made no sense. You would have ordered archers to "loose" or possibly "shoot". Also usually a group of archers didn't fire in a synchronized attack all together. Volley fire was developed for gunpowder infantry, to maximize the noise and make sure the enemy was close enough and grouped enough for that first shot to count. There were times when you wanted your archers to shoot all together, but you wouldn't have each shot be an organized volley. If you did it at all it would just be the first (or the last) shot. Anyway bowmen don't "fire".
