Killing Putin, as satisfying as it would be in the short term, has little to no strategic value. Destroying oil refineries on the other hand, directly diminishes Russia's economy and therefore its ability to wage war.

*And then* they leap from the tower in a surely-fatal plunge, crash through the roof of the privy, drag themselves out of the cesspit, and Nobby Nobbs says, "what are the chances of *that*?" Ugh! Genius!

The one-in-a-million shot is some of the best build-up and punchline he ever wrote. Just pages and pages of setup as these *dipshits* deliberately hobble themselves to try and get the odds to exactly a million-to-one, only for the totally predictable outcome to occur.

I don't know why this exchange between young Sam and "Keel" popped into my head, but I love it: "Will it really come to a fight, sarge?" - "Yep." "Won't there be some talking first." - "No. Maybe afterwards." "Seems the wrong way round." - "Maybe, lad. But it's a tried and true method."

Not going near a burning grenade is even safer. If it explodes as you're lining up your shot, there's a good chance you'll get chunks of super-heated shrapnel in your legs or groin so just steer clear and wait for it to burn out.

You'll just have a melted tennis racket/lacrosse stick if you do that. Better to just steer well clear and wait for it to burn itself out.

Please don't pick up canisters shot at you by police. Even if you can differentiate between tear gas and stun grenades, both of those canisters burn hot or explode and can seriously injure you Throwing it back at the cops might be rad, but the mvmt also needs you with all of your limbs intact

Traumatic brain injury. Anyone who fought in pre-modern combat (and a lot of people in modern combat) would get bumped on the head as a matter of course. If it happens enough times, it's gonna cause some serious personality defects. That's not even counting the Macedonian habit of binge-drinking.

If any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic, then any being which can wield such science is indistinguishable from a god. When you're on the receiving end of such power, the distinction between god and powerful alien entity is irrelevant.

The only way, and I mean *only way* a detonation could occur is if a power surge in the computer bus regulating the implosion detonators sends a signal and *every single* safety in the weapon fails.

Tbf, the biggest risk of ageing nuclear weapons is radiation leak rather than detonation. All the nukes in the world at this point are implosion-detonated in some way or another, and that implosion requires millisecond-accurate synchronisation.

Huh. You know, I had never thought of Central Asia as having been continually settled for thousands of years, but of course. It had been shaped and cultivated by human habitation just as much as the forest gardens of Appalachia. It was an entire biosphere with humans as the keystone species.

This is honestly horrifying. Like, I think this would work as a Time Commanders-esque situation where they have random members of the public having to deal with a nuclear attack or something, but hiring retired politicians just feels so... last days of Rome.

Gove convinces David Cameron to let him fight aliens, citing his journalistic experience, and then fails.

Kind of impressive that Denis Villeneuve is gonna have to make Dune: Part Three in such a way that it bludgeons the viewer with the message, "No! Paul Atriedes is not a good guy and you should beware of charismatic leaders!" Now *that's* accuracy in your film adaptation.

Not going to share the video, because it is actually horrific, but the footage of Reform members assaulting a young protestor whilst Farage smiles and jokes is probably one of the most disgusting things I've seen in politics and speaks to the fundamental weakness in Reform voters' character.

Of course, that strategy is somewhat undermined when more than half a million Soviet soldiers roll over the border and occupy your fallback position.

The Polish strategy was to pull back to defensive lines in the Eastern half of the country, anchored on the Romanian border. With military aid coming in via Romania and concentration of their mobilised reserves into the Romanian Bridgehead, the Poles might have been able to hold out for a while.

The MPs and former MPs who drafted the Equality Act back in 2010 outright said that the Supreme Court was deliberately misinterpreting the text of the Act. They said that their intention was always for the EA to be trans-inclusive.

If another author who had sent millions to anti-trans pressure groups and lobbyists for the last decade did this exact thing, I guarantee you left-wingers would take issue with them doing this too. I think you are ignoring just how politically awful JKR has become over the last few years.

It's gonna flop anyway. The show is going to premiere over Christmas, all the kids who are the target audience are going to pester their parents about what happens next and the parents will put on the original movies. The kids will lose interest in the show and viewing numbers will plummet.

I knew phosgene wasn't skin-absorbed (or whatever the technical term for that is), but I had thought its pathway was similar to chlorine where it dissolves in the lung fluid and acts in solution. My bad.

I do wonder if the Andal gods actually exist. We know textually that R'hllor and the Old Gods are able to do some sort of magical shit in the world, but all of the evidence of the Seven is much more open to interpretation. Did the Seven weigh in against Tyrion, or did Oberyn just get cocky?

That is a literal post hoc justification, since Tyrion wouldn't have killed his dad if his dad hadn't been planning on sending him to the Wall/executing him for a crime he didn't commit. Hell, Tywin basically goes, "yeah, I believe you son, but I want you gone and this is my best opportunity so..."

Same excuse given for why the North doesn't have a navy despite their *insanely long* coastline. Some Stark king several millennia ago went west and never returned, so his son burned the navy, and literally *no* king since thought "hey, maybe we should have something to fend off the Temu vikings?"

Cannons, being heavy as shit, need to be low down in the vessel, and need holes cut in the hull which, when push comes to shove, means that the conversion process is a bit of a faff. Also, advances in metallurgy meant that now there's an abundance of copper for preventing woodworm, barnacles, etc.

Anarcho-Scotialist ↙️↙️↙️ @buckeroo303.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Ehhh, until cannons became viable for naval warfare, military ships mostly consisted of conscripting the local merchant ships and plonking a couple of fighting platforms at the fore and aft. Or (in the Med), build some galleys out of unseasoned wood in the spring and scrap them when winter comes.
