Disagree. Holden becomes a little less central as other characters get more and more time, ie Drummer etc. Other than one particularly weak season (kinda had to be based on the source material) the show is quite good.

At least for that one you are supposed to.

Even in the books Holden was kinda looked at as good / reliable but also dopey and annoying

When we were in Iraq, the IRGC gave Shiite militias those copper things which are EFPs or Explosively Formed Penetrators, which essentially negate almost any kind of armor protection that most vehicles have by turning the copper into a white hot plasma that penetrates the armor and kills the people inside. You put the explosive behind the EFP and boom, the copper does the rest. That's my non EOD dumbed down understanding of it.

Calibre Obscura is making a joke saying that there's probably going to be a lot of those being made by Ukraine for their guys to make IEDs that'll to go up against Russian armored vehicles.

I see, I wasn't thinking about EFPs or other shaped charges, thanks.

I should probably watch the new season of The Expanse.

I'm super hyped for the Babylon 5 reboot. JMS said the other day that the pilot script got approved by the studio and they should know if they have the greenlight by the end of the month.

RE: Aafia Sidiqui- the world would have been in a much better place had she croaked after getting shot in the chest after she tried to kill her interrogators with an unsecured M4 in Ghazni. It's really something how big of a figure she is in jihadi propaganda.

Edit: Apparently the hostage taker is Mohammed Sidiqui, her loving brother. :psyduck:

Someone’s already updated to include today’s thing and there is even a wiki article for it already.

I mean up to date articles and new ones are cool, but it’s always weird have fast some people get to it.

The republifashes have a very different definition of CRT. They see it as "Any version of US history that isn't positive."

The Expanse is the best Sci-Fi on TV so don't listen to this guy or you'll miss out

Anyway yeah they included the Laconia stuff because the showrunners just liked that story and they wanted it in to fish for some kind of subsequent project for the last trilogy of books

Difference being Jersey needs bleached occasionally to kill the superbugs that crawl out of the Shore and its inhabitants' crotches.

Nowhere deserves to be ammonia'd.


E: love this quote

quote:

“Chemical pollution could lead to an environmental catastrophe in the east of our country,” the statement reads.

Every farmer in the midwest dumps tons of anhydrous ammonia into the soil every year. Lol. It's a major source of nitrogen. Sure, it'll choke and kill people, but their lawns will have never looked so good.

So if anyone's following, there's still very little word out of Tonga. The Southern Cross comms network is down, as is the backups to that network, including the satellite links, so they can't even check on the status of why the network is down.
Further to that, there has been ZERO word from the 8000 people on the island closest to where the volcano was. There's a RNZAF bird on the way there now for investigations, and the PM has promised an update in about 90 minutes, but.... things are looking not good.
