Ah, thank you, you're credible!

See, that anecdote makes me more skeptical. "Missions in Laos [or Cambodia] with no records" is a frequent trope for fake combat vets or real vets who are exaggerating their combat records. They lean on it, because few have the background to call them on their stories. It's easy to use it as a crutch and an excuse for missing documentation or lack of corroboration.

The Honor Harrington series says you just forgot to make them "bomb-pumped", then they'll work. Glory to the Kingdom of Manticore. If it's really a classically liberal, benevolent, monarchical, capitalist Utopia, why doesn't everyone just move there? There seem to be many billions of people in the galaxy who absolutely don't want to live there.

I think a blahaj admin just went ahead and confirmed that, yes, they are the ones with the beef, about 14 hours ago, in our VERY OWN PIT OF DESPAIR AND CRUDELY DRAWN FROGS. You saw it here first. 🐸 I'm never going to financially recover from this, the day blahaj banned us.

Build the hypothetical ship in space and you never have to deal with it except as ice, which is easier to move around and shape into what you need. The ISS has a lot of liquids on board in all sorts of forms, from chicken soup, to ink pens, to the urine inside astronaut bladders. I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Norwegian Fishermen Have The Clankers, It Seems. (thebarentsobserver.com)
 

So, yeah, Norwegian fishing boat confronts Russians during firing drills in the Arctic Ocean. Russians say "leave", Norwegians say "No U". Warning shot fired. Up until today, Norway was still allowing port visits from Russian-flagged vessels. Will that go away, along with Russian crews' chances for hot meals and revelry?

Flores, can you hear me? (sh.itjust.works)
 

1/13/2024, I found this worn neck gaiter in a pack of milsurp clothes. Flores, can you hear me? Flores, can you see me? Did you lose this at the post laundry? I'd like us all to share our cherished memories of Flores, whether he's still in the E4 Mafia or moved on to opportunities in managing a chain of vape stores in Tulsa. You are not forgotten, Flores. Have a happy Easter.

Biofluorescence: Unseen world of the Celtic rainforest revealed by UV (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/7992206

An eerie glow has been emanating from Wales' forests and rockpools for the country's annual dark skies week.

David Atthowe, a nature guide from Norwich, was invited to shine his ultraviolet (UV) torches on some of the best nature spots in Pembrokeshire and Monmouthshire.

His photos of temperate rain forest in Wales reveal shapes, structures and colours that rival a coral reef.

"It is hidden from our human senses, waiting to be discovered," he said.

The 34-year-old is on a one-man mission to shine UV light on what he calls a "magic world" in which plants and animals fluoresce to communicate.

"Wales is so lucky to have so many beautiful sites [for biofluorescence] with its rockpools and temperate rainforest," he said.
