should chuck the kickstarter link in the thread title or sticky a thread?

Sticking the thread is considered an abuse of mod powers :shrug:

if you're mixing your own allow me to sing the praises of hand-ground Flemish white. Please do not read the reviews and those hazard symbols are just an artistic flourish you can ignore

doing a vanity publish (no offense ofc) of an art book also seems like a fairly achievable project

Well it's more than 100 copies requested already, I was thinking of ordering some from a printer that does very nice quality stuff but has a 250 copy minimum, so if I get near 200 then I will have some left over and I can still sell some in the future, or maybe a local bookstore or something?

this is literally in the OP and one of the main reasons I've been doing this

twoday posted:

I recently remembered that the U.S. Library of Congress (which is the largest library in the world) will accept any book that you send to them, and attempt to preserve it forever. To have a government institution preserve and disseminate a book of C-SPAM posts for the rest of its existence is a joke that's just too good to pass up.

it's gonna be hilarious

I think I am legally required to have an ISBN if I print it america, not sure, but I will probably be using an american printing company

Nebakenezzer: Sep 13, 2005; The Mote in God's Eye

Well in the midst of this joyous time, let me post my normal style post.

I'm watching John Ford's The Searchers. For those who don't know it, it stars John Wayne playing a character, Ethan Edwards who's second or third line is "you look like you got comanch blood" to someone he rescued as a kid and hasn't seen in 8 or 9 years. Ethan Edwards indulges in some Comanche corpse desecration before the 20 minute mark. Ford's character Ethan is famous, because he's not a hero or an anti-hero; he's damaged goods in a cowboy hat.

Anyway, I'm watching it in beautiful high def, and I know if Trump was watching it, he'd think Ethan the most awesome man's man man ever filmed

Nebakenezzer: Sep 13, 2005; The Mote in God's Eye

Good lord, Ethan has just pronounced three completely traumatized white woman "no longer white"

In retrospect this movie is filled with people with people who've suffered horrific trauma, Ethan included

if you haven't already, check out The Conqueror:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKxtQzwoHH8

quote:

Nowadays, no one in their right mind would choose to shoot a feature film near a functioning nuclear testing site. In 1927, American geneticist Herman Joseph Muller discovered that prolonged exposure to radiation can have crippling effects on human health, and by the early 1950s it was known that nuclear blasts produce massive amounts of fallout that is highly radioactive and potentially lethal. Still, the producers of the film The Conqueror, which was released in 1956, decided to shoot the film near the remote town of St. George in the Utah desert, merely a hundred miles away from the infamous Nevada Test Site.

Approximately 100 nuclear bombs of various yields were detonated at the Nevada Test Site throughout the 1950s. In 1953, 11 atmospheric nuclear tests were carried out in the area as a part of Operation Upshot-Knothole: The mushroom clouds were tens of thousands of feet high, and strong winds carried radioactive particles all the way to the Utah desert. In 1954, when the filming of The Conqueror began, the barren hills around St. George were likely covered with a layer of deadly nuclear dust.

Namely, out of 220 people who worked on the production of The Conqueror, 92 died of cancer, including Wayne, Hayward, and Armend�riz. At the time when the filming took place, the authorities labeled the filming site as safe from harmful effects of radioactive fallout even though abnormal levels of radiation were detected when the area was examined.

Still, modern research has shown that the soil in some areas around the town of St. George likely remained dangerously contaminated until 2007. Therefore, the fact that almost half of the cast and crew died of cancer likely wasn�t a coincidence but a result of prolonged exposure to radiation.

Wayne first suffered from lung cancer and then died of stomach cancer in June of 1979. Although many of his friends tried to convince him that his condition was a result of exposure to radiation on the set of The Conqueror, he claimed that the illness was caused by his deadly habit of smoking six packs of cigarettes per day.

edit: if you want to skip to the fun part, here is the timestamp:

a fun game is to set it to the time you were born and watch how many massive nuclear explosions have ravaged the earth in your lifetime
