Benjamin…get the Musket.

Give Commander a Medal!

China is also saber rattling with Vietnam. Taiwan is China’s current priority, but Vietnam see themselves as on the list .

Exactly. Vietnam is sitting in the same position with China as Poland is with Russia. They both have a very large and powerful neighbor suddenly showing a real appetite for expansionism.

You are highly regarded.

Unlikely. The upside of being socially inept though is that I have more time and headspace for important things…like knowing the difference between a Country and a Continent.

I remember stuff that I was to young to viable be able to remember.

Same! My earliest memory is a man, who wasn’t my Father, coming to the house and giving my Mother a letter. After reading she hid it inside a flower pot underneath a fake plant. It happened in 1973 when I was just about 12 months old. I know the year because I talked to my Mom about it a few years ago and after she got over her shock she told me when it happened.

Yes my Mom was a serial cheater and yes my first memory of life is her getting a love letter from one of her lovers. 👌

and now here we are, with idiots in our own country emboldened by the GOP and Trump.

The American Bund existed during WWII. This shit isn’t new.

The nest is either never completed or it is done in half the usual time with perfect symmetry and sub-millimeter accuracy.

There is no in between.

Short Term and Working Memory of a damn goldfish. Long Term memory is so freakishly good that people think I’m making it up.

I can struggle to tell you what I had for a meal 10 minutes after I finish eating but I can tell you the exact page and location on the page of phrases that I read in a book 20 years ago.

Why did I just go to the kitchen? Who the fuck knows. Ask me what I was doing last Thursday afternoon at 3:30 though and I can write you a detailed description of the entire days events.

Welcome to ADHD.

Fucking fascinating. But I’d have to publish it as fiction because nobody would believe it.

Same, particularly before my mid 30s.

Did you seriously just compare the landmass of the United States with the entire fucking CONTINENT of Europe?

Yes…yes you did.

If that’s the comparison you want then the Area of North America is 24,474,000 sq km.

The better comparison would be the US and the European Union. The EU is 4,422,773 km2.

Now sit down short stack. You aren’t tall enough for this ride.

Impossible to answer as laws vary by country so what may be legal in the US may be illegal in Finland where LW is. Aside from the multi-national difficulties involved there’s also the fact that there’s been near zero court cases on it anywhere in the world (that I know of). Legal Lightening is going to strike some instance somewhere in the world eventually but no instance owner wants it to be them.

in case something goes bad it is going to be against them not this instance.

Ah, since you’re an expert in Finnish law (where LW is hosted) perhaps you could take a few minutes and give us a breakdown?

Okay done. I’ll give the instance a try and see how it goes. :)

This show suffers from the same illogical plots, very questionable dialogue, and blatant canon failures

So it’s basically the same as TOS? Excellent!

It’s a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.

I hope they don’t. Counter narrative comments are healthy, even Communist ones.

I know. That wasn’t the point of my comment.

The AR-15 is fairly weak as rifles go so I guess it doesn’t count?

Excellent! Should have been longer though.

Neat machine. I wish Noel had done more exploring of it in the video.
