Hey Mods, I've been meaning to ask this in the other threads, but they seem to be well in by the time I remember.

When the thread title changes, would mods be able to add the updated thread title to the OP with a link to the post or page that inspired the change. It would be a handy "Contents" page and would also be a nice track of events as they transpired. Would also allow people who miss numerous name changes in a day (when they happen) to keep up.

Something like

This is a lot of :effort: and I have a full time job while Ard is in the wrong time zone. So if PPJ, who has the most free time of the three of us, wants to try and keep up with this, then he can, but I don't think I can be bothered.

To clarify, I tend to change thread titles from my phone, which is relatively easy, but editing the OP on the phone is a pain.

Understandable.

PPJ - if you are up to it, I think it'd be a great permanent record of the season's roller-coaster ride.

Yes, Mike loving Pence, tell us more about our space-related priorities. What the hell would the point of that even be? It would be completely worthless to build some sort of base up there, and there's not much on the moon to harvest besides KREEP. (Not the zerg stuff.)

The image explains it better than I did but yea. How “mighty” the mighty rio grande is depends on what time of year it is, the weather, the recent rain fall and snow melt, and how much water has been taken out of it by that point.

There’s a reason it isn’t some huge obstacle to migration. There are plenty of points you can just walk across it, and plenty of points it’s wading through knee high or hip high water


Edit: for those that are curious about rivers, look at the table here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_rivers_of_the_United_States_(by_main_stem)

Rio grande is fourth longest but it’s discharge rate is tiny comparatively.
That url has parsed badly because of the brackets... you need to add the tags manually.

A little context here, btw. Andrew Neil (the interviewer) is notoriously right-wing. He’s worked for Murdoch publications in the past, and I believe even has connections to Victor Orban. Calling him an extreme leftist (as Ben does earlier in the interview) is absolutely ludicrous and basically humiliated himself in the eyes of the entirety of UK politics (most of whom had never heard of Little Ben).

Basically Ben swallowed the line that BBC was super-leftist and when an interviewer used basic BBC devil’s-advocate interviewing techniques on him he assumed he was talking to Che Guevara.

I haven't seen the full interview posted, so here it is:

So one excellent and very Dnd thing that as far as I know is only available on youtube, is an old BBC documentary miniseries called End of Empire. Released in the eighties when decolonization was still fresh in people's memory, it offers a rare picture of conflicts and struggles now barely remembered in the west. I recommend the episodes on Rhodesia, India, and Aden especially.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnSCHTH0Q0A
This is an excellent click, not just for content, but for the fact that the second episode includes an ABC Australia late light news from c. February 22nd 1986.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBU3z-dPW2g&t=2963s

- Ramos and Enrile holed up in a compound in Quezon City during the Phillipine elections crisis
- "Leftist guerrillas in Peru"
- "Iraqi commander" says they'll regain the port of Al Faw within a week in the five year old gulf war...

Problem here is that they don't specifically define intelligence as a thing of value... which of course it is, but yada yada yada this admin etc...

They have no understanding conceptually of anything about intelligence.
