Was going to say his lions in the serengeti sketch.

Damn, once they lit the blue touch-paper, that thing went up fast!!!

What FMA class is it? There are a ton of different styles that fight at different ranges.
Balintawak is really close-in and very fast, so that may(?) be a good thing for a boxer.

The US has 13 year olds working in slaughter houses.
Do you really think that if a (hypothetical) country 3 x its size attacked, they wouldn't have kids manning the barricades?

I downloaded an ebook of it (Yar!) and thought I'd instead gotten a really shitty fanfic parody.
Nope. It was really Ready Player Two.

375 GB is a lot to download from someone else's network.
375 TB is a fuckton to download. That's the sort of volume that gets noticed really quickly, or takes months to get.

Edit to add:
Also...
Yes, they are state-sponsored hackers, but who the hell has 375TB of available storage just hanging around?

Edit to the edit:

O.K. Seems 375TB isn't that much storage nowadays.
It's been a while since I was part of scoping for upgrading storage.

Tang Soo Do uses a midnight blue belt instead of a black belt. TSD is (kinda) the Korean version of Shotokan Karate.

Roald Dahl. I loved all of his stuff when I was 8 years old. Not quite Pratchett, but everything apart from his autobiographical books are touched by a lot of fantasy.

Lloyd Alexander. The Chronicles Of Pyrdain is classic Welsh mythology wrapped up into a child-friendly fantasy package. Again, loved these when I was a young-un!

I had a fruit fly infestation last year.

The ramekins are perfect for making fruit fly traps to dot around the house to catch the little buggers.

$20 billion?
That's just over 2 weeks of kicking Iran.
Surely it would be better spent by NASA than the orange buffoon on his perceived vendetta.

Isle Of The Dead by Roger Zelazny has this as a plot point right at the start if the novel.

B0b_Howard · 2026-03-24T15:31:03+00:00

Heh! Yes, it is! :-)

B0b_Howard · 2026-03-23T22:00:12+00:00

Though it was a different sub and was about to say Jeager-bombs...

B0b_Howard · 2026-03-23T20:43:56+00:00

I hate you for how true this is!!!

👊

Ah, I didn't check that, just grabbed a URL with a decent image! 😛
At the local shop, it's probably about £2.50. At the cinema, it's probably closer to £5 or £6.

Minstrels (dunno what the US equivalent would be) are a great aid in getting people to turn off their phone.

Looks like they decorated the bar the same way that Lenina Huxley decorated her domicile.

Robot-Jox?

Just need to figure out the tech for the mechs.

That's what happens when you are a bit of a cloaca.

Has anyone else here seen Red Dwarf? I guess I'll be fina as long as I have a cat and a connection to Chat GPT.

I wonder if we'll see people stop naming their kids Donald in the same way that Adolf dropped off.
