@iwriteok.bsky.social and @jkass99.bsky.social were talking about 40k imagery in the military, and look what I found from my Afghanistan deployment in 2013 in Kandahar

A section of T-wall with “FIRE LANE TOW AWAY ZONE” stenciled on it with red paint, and the double headed imperial eagle from warhammer 40k tagged under it in black spray paint

Applied to a job just now at a company I've been bouncing against for a couple years and like. This is just cruel

I drew this! And yes it’s kind of grim but also it’s been bouncing around my brain for a while and now it’s everyone’s problem

It’s been real real cold in New Jersey lately

BB62 USS New Jersey docked in Camden, NJ, apparently locked in by ice on the Delaware River. Which to be clear is fine, it’s a museum ship, but still. It’s not something you see often

From “The Blade Itself” by Joe Abercrombie, pg 426

As commander of a battalion his trade had been to fight the enemy with steel. As a staff officer, it seemed, his role was to fight his own side with paper, more secretary than soldier. He felt like a man trying to push a huge stone up a hill. Straining and straining, getting nowhere, but unable to stop pushing in case the rock should fall and crus him. Meanwhile, arrogant bastards who were in just the same danger lazed on the slopes beside him saying, “That’s not my rock.”

On a lark, I decided to get a ballpark number for the cost of excavating my basement down an extra foot so we could get it finished and lmao never mind

Digging out a basement costs between $60,000 and $150,000, while converting a crawl space to a basement ranges from $47,500 to $135,000.
Excavation alone costs $75–$150 per cubic yard of dirt removed, with a 1,000-square-foot basement requiring about 300 cubic yards and costing $22,500–$45,000 just for digging.
Major cost factors include raising or bracing the home at $3,100–$20,000, new foundation work at $10,000–$30,000, plumbing at $1,000–$3,000, and permits at $1,200–$2,000.

Happy new year, I first posted this semi-ironically on 1/1/21 and so far I’ve been correct every year

A soldier in a gas mask and chemical hood riding on the front of an armored vehicle looks behind him to the viewer:
