Fun fact! Trypophobia can trigger a strong enough reaction in people to cause epileptic seizures!

Ask me how I know!
On the bright side, Trypophobia can also cause you to win the title of epilepsy consultant for NASA and Microsoft.

It’s the prologue to 2010, are the stadium lights around the TMA-1 a problem?

The joke is that that’s basically what happened to Bowman when he went through the stargate/TMA-2

War goobers posting on Forbes (the difference between the magazine you might remember and the website now is the difference between a TED Talk and a TEDx Talk, essentially, so grain of salt) saying the slowdown of the counter-offensive in the east allowed Russia to redeploy a reserve division south.

The image we dug into to find the exact trigger cause in, was the one of the Carina Nebula.

The key trigger was looking at the intense blue light right next to the very rich and dense brown cloudy region near the center of the image.

Looking straight at the brown region had no effect, but looking at the blue was just instant horror reaction and then the side effects came piling on.
Splitting the image into 16 similar sized chunks helped reduce the after effects from lasting 4 hours to lasting only 20 minutes and being much less severe.

I'll eat the sixer for this: it's fuckin hilarious in a sad sort of power grubby way that the GIP IK is being a laser beam hardass about casual temporary derails while in equally serious forums like TFR the chief mod and former admin aids and abets derails as long as they aren't making people have psychotic meltdowns about whatever.

Considering McNally is just chilling fiddling about with historical muskets or whatever and that there are no actual rules-violating issues here while Hekk is spraying wildly with an M60 full of sixers the moment that someone makes a crack about anything other than the thread topic, I have to ask: why even loving bother trying to railroad such a general thread in such an angry way while we're all shooting the poo poo, other than because you like the threat of pushing buttons?

No one even got a sixer tho, seemed a pretty typical "ok move on from this to the appropriate places" same as most mods / iks eventually do?

So if those two bridges close and they decide to go all out on ferrying stuff in by boat, how many boats is that even going to take? And do they still have a harbor at both ends capable of handling that sort of shipping load?

Would be amusing as all hell if they end up having to pull a Luftwaffe resupply attempt.

Only the Kerch connects to Russia proper in the East. The other bridges are on the north and connect to Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.

Depends on if they use the ferries for their intended purpose, or keep sinking them in an attempt to block Ukraine’s little torpedo-boats.

The Road bridge portion of Kerch has two spans. Maybe that's what they were thinking of? Also there's a rail bridge, but that's all considered part of the same bridge 'system'.

They didn't just invite despised countries --- from the last Noble Peace Prizes winners, one (of the three) is imprisoned by Belarus, and another is a human rights organization banned by Russia.
