I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?


I'm not sure I'd ever order meatloaf at a restaurant anyway, let alone force someone else to get it also

the US Air Force was extremely bitter that space exploration was made a civilian responsibility instead of letting the military control it, and spent the 1950s and 60s trying to compete with NASA and wasted big piles of taxpayer money on a shittier and less successful parallel manned space program

they wanted, among other things, a separate US Air Force astronaut corps, a mass produced Air Force variant of the Gemini space capsules, an orbital spaceplane, and an Air Force space station, and could not provide a compelling use case for any of them, or any explanation for what exactly they would do, except that NASA had them and they wanted some of their own

a lot of the development work for this stuff was actually done, and in particular the Air Force's space plane was pretty close to being ready to build before getting cancelled, but the problem of being consistently unable to come up with any practical use for their space toys eventually got the budget hawks on their case

ironically the Soviets actually did secretly launch a couple of armed manned spacecraft disguised as civilian Salyut stations, so there would have hypothetically been a use case for an Air Force space fleet, but nobody knew that until after the Cold War was over (also the Soviets quickly decided it was stupid and pointless and discontinued the program)

they definitely put weapons into orbit, but that doesn't mean any of it is actually useful or even functional. the us military simply loves its ruinously expensive boondoggles too much to not send some to space. as for the exact nature and quantity of these weapons, i dunno.

the Air Force wanted a manned surveillance satellite up there, a tiny little space station serviced by Gemini capsules with a couple of guys in it whose job was to look at photographs.

they developed a special Air Force-only Gemini variant with a hatch in the back, built one and even flew it in space as an unmanned test mission, and built a bunch of the hardware for one of the space stations itself before it got canned.

the toilet built for it actually did go into space later on NASA's Skylab station, so it wasn't a complete waste of time

I feel like the Air Force specifically shouldn't be sending things into space because the defining feature of space is its lack of air.

There are such turrets. Kotaku writer turned Congressional candidate Brianna Wu told me that governments and corporations had moon weapons and only the power of a junior congresswoman from oregon could stop them from being fired at God fearing Americans.

I remember the fundies back then being insistent that Noah's ark had been found but the Soviets covered it up to protect godless communism. Not really sure how Mt. Ararat would be in their sphere of influence.

iirc from "In Search of Noah's Ark" the story was that a russian aviator found the ark right before the revolution, the czar sent an expedition, and then the bolsheviks burned/buried the records

fake edit yeop:








a little extra bit:

Cummings discovered a new lead in an article from the October 6, 1945 issue of the Russian-language magazine Rosseya, which was similar to Gurley's Roskovitsky account. The Rosseya article, written by former Russian officer Alexander A. Koor, placed the tsar's expedition in December 1917, and described the Ark as measuring 500 feet (150 m) long, 83 feet (25 m) wide, and 50 feet (15 m) high. Koor's version ended with a rumor that the expedition's report was intercepted by Leon Trotsky, who had the courier shot.[66]: 55–60  Cummings later contacted Koor, who said he had served in the Ararat region in 1915, and heard of the Ark expedition from fellow officers he met in 1921. This was enough to convince Cummings that Koor had not simply plagiarized the New Eden article.[66]: 61–64  An amateur archaeologist, Koor also claimed to have discovered cuneiform inscriptions at Ararat describing the story of the Flood.[60]: 87  Following his correspondence with Cummings, Koor would take an interest in promoting the discredited Book of Veles.[77]

bacon is supposed to go inside the meatloaf, not outside of it

just fry the bacon quickly, remove some of the grease and then roll it up and place it into the center of the loaf for some extra flavor. also the remaining grease will keep the inside of the loaf nice and moist too

Adding bacon to meatloaf :psyduck:

A properly seasoned meatloaf won't need the bacon to be flavorful and I imagine the bacon would overpower an underseasoned one
