The Reagan “match the soviets” thing. I thought the Iowas also fit into that but I could have completely misunderstood.

alright next question since I’ve seen the talk float around but only kinda understood it and you seem like you won’t mind explaining (it’s cool to say fuck off tho): what about the “we must have more hulls!” thing? Or was that separate? Or would cruisers have been easier?

I’m not a miltech knower, indeed. Was the Mk71’s MOA that much better than Iowas’ guns? Or is it more of a “we didn’t need to get those relics up and running at all” sitch?

I don’t know if that’s him hearing “they find out about… in schools” or “he just couldn’t articulate” but who cares at this point? If Disc Horse Bot is more coherent then it’s all elder abuse at best. This is elder abuse. I’m not gonna have empathy for his suffering but it is very much elder abuse.

Trump made it very clear that he thinks “asylum” means mental asylum an eternity ago. What he thinks has no connection to reality and what he says is now equally disconnected from what he thinks.

The fact that his bullshit makes no sense on the higher level has been true since Trump 1 and if he’s now just utterly word salad–ing is an extension of that. “Yeah he’s utterly incoherent” is something we’ve got to face and if we’d faced it sooner we might be in a better position now.

Yeah, for Apple it’s kinda a flex and also kinda a pert of the marketing budget? AppleCare used to get “we’re not like other warranties” mad money to throw around for reasons related to the latter (they might still? No clue)

He does sleep like 15% less than his siblings though so that does kinda weaken the “multiple kittens will entertain each other” factor. At this point we have to play the “spin game” (he lies down on the kitchen floor and clutches your hand to his chest with his paws and then you spin him) on the reg

No see his little brother had a cone on! Every time a beam of light hits the cone and refracts he becomes 100% convinced there’s a bug! What’s funny is that his sibling are now *extremely* dubious whenever he makes the ack-ack or otherwise signals There Is A Bug to them as a result.

I assume she’d also be utter murder on the budget, too. Midway through episode 3 she’d decide the robes looked too Mumu-ish and demand that they redo costuming for the boys or some shit.

You gotta remember that they’re already in it for a billion just to build the set/facility for it. They’ll look at $20m in losses per episode for the first season and keep throwing money in.

The Pogues Been a clean decade since you showed up to mass hungover but the sunglasses remain as an affectation. When it's your turn to toast at the wake, you'll take them off to punctuate the laugh line, before clinking with a coke-no-rum. As night's end nears dawn, you'll get stragglers home.

The Pogues frontman, punk trickster-god, and poet of the gutter died Thursday in Dublin, but the songs he wrote and sang have always transcended time.

Bright Eyes Here's the thing about having once been 15: every year afterwards, always at least a little bit, you're still 15, hurtling to adulthood from the edge of youth. You've mostly sobered up in the years between 15 & now. When your tween puts "I'm Wide Awake" on, you remember those who didn't

I just woke up this morning and our three kittens were all sleeping on my wife. One was half on her head and half on the pillows above her, and other on her hip, the last on her feet. Our largest keeps waking up just enough to start purring for a little bit and then drifting back off.
