The real impact of the 9/11 attacks: There is direct line from shock and confusion to nationalistic rhetoric and "'OOORAH!"- patriotism to the rise of the Tea Party, the growing influence of the Evangelicals up to the emergence of Trumpism and Qanon.

It's not their job to execute people. It's their job to arrest them and provide evidence in a court of law to get them jail time. Even if it's the perpetrator.

It just goes to show the average age of anons. Too sad if they plateau around that.

  • "X raped my childhood!"
  • "Jeez, Michael, you're in your 20's."

I feel the author also deserves some credit. So: Fuck Steve Barclay.

If you would have read the more than the subtitle, you would know that it was indeed Epic who did this.

If you like the chemistry between Tennant and Sheen, go watch the BBC series "Staged".

They even got that low-polygon aesthetic.

The coils in EI-core transformers are all wound around the middle leg. My last build had five separated coils: primary, 520V, 80V, 25V, 6,5V.

Which is what happens in Charles Stross' "Quantum of Nightmares". Except it involves a good deal of Blood Magic, meatgrinders, zentai suits and abuse of the workfare system. It seems the author was very angry when he wrote it.

Blindsight is exquisitely crafted. It has layers like an onion.

"Space Vampires" is an infinitely better hook than my "It's about...uh...conciousness...and stuff." But I hate to tell you that Blindsight isn't any lighter on new radical ideas than 3BP. For the sequel I had to read an AMA with Watts just to get the gist of it. (Three "gods" duking it out in a game of 5D chess with different and evolving goals for each participant through the eyes of a mortal.) Oh, and there is a fun supplement on Youtube, a (fake) TED Talk about Vampires and Evolution, by the man himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEOUaJW05bU
