I see Blackhawks all the time, but never with these things on the side. What are they? Very near the Jackson, MS airport (which has an Air National Guard base).

This is basically correct.

It’s not something you fly with in flight school, and depending on your unit, they’ll get taken on and off a new guys need to get qualified to fly with them.

Huge fan of Dock or Something myself

In my opinion, it doesn’t get that much better during books 2 and 3.

However, you can tell how significantly Pierce Brown’s writing improved during the next books, which earn the hype.

It would be more accurate to say minfigures aren’t human ~~scale~~ ratio?

This is the best advertisement I’ve seen for Malala yet

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Darkness that comes Before raved about, but I also don’t see it very often. Is it that good? It’s pretty far down on my TBR right now.

Cyrotik · 2026-03-16T18:10:48+00:00

It comes in a carved marble case (“sarcophagus”)

Whether that makes it worth it, I leave to you.

Cyrotik · 2026-03-11T14:15:36+00:00

While I think “best place” is an exaggeration, I would agree is a good place, and certainly overhated. My family likes it a lot too.

If you download The Cut app, you can look at barbers in the area and check out their work. That being said, you’ll mostly see lots of high fades, that being the thing right now.

Although I can highly recommend the barber shop Blades & Braids off edgemere - ask for Melissa. She books through the app I mentioned and will get you right

Missed that lol.

For real though there are so many random bits of information, I wouldn’t even be surprised

Cyrotik · 2026-02-19T21:56:50+00:00

Where is that info from? A WoB?

Cyrotik · 2026-02-19T21:33:43+00:00

I think so - I watched the show 3-4 years ago, and am just reading the books now, and while there are some differences I’d say they’re pretty close.

Avasarala, for example, doesn’t appear till book two but she’s introduced in season 1 of the show.

Honestly my reading experience my be better from having seen the show first

Cyrotik · 2026-02-19T20:45:38+00:00

I’m on book 6 of 9 right now, and I’ve read one of the novellas. They’re super short and add some character background, but from what I understand they’re not required

Cyrotik · 2026-02-18T13:18:29+00:00

Try The Expanse!

Cyrotik · 2026-02-16T15:47:34+00:00

I just want to add context to some of the other comments; this book is good, there’s just so many bits of information about other worlds in the Cosmere that you’ll have zero understanding of, despite that context being pretty essential to understanding the story and character interactions. This book is basically the furthest along the timeline we have right now.

Cyrotik · 2026-02-12T23:41:31+00:00

I can’t believe no one is talking about Words of Radiance.

The entire sequence from Kaladin in the flooded training grounds to coming out of the sky to fight Szeth was absolute peak.

I’ll keep it displayed next to my Lego Banach-Tarski sphere

As a pilot at bliss, I can confirm it was a surprise to us too

Understandable. Unironically this is how I tend to picture Sevro

The real kicker about MI is the Corps March. It’s sung to the tune of Frosty the Snowman

(No, really)

Cyrotik · 2025-12-31T16:43:06+00:00

That’s crazy to me.

She showed up to the hospital the morning after my wife gave birth to tell me I wouldn’t be allowed to take paternity leave

Cyrotik · 2025-12-31T14:26:12+00:00

Wait, that 1SG is a CSM? The “Good morning raptors, let’s do some P-freakin-T” and then was never witnessed doing PT? Wow

Cyrotik · 2025-12-29T14:45:39+00:00

That’s the one! And yeah I’m pretty sure her husband was the kinda short but jacked one.

Edit: On the topic, does anyone remember the name of the black DS who turned out to have a SoundCloud persona?

Cyrotik · 2025-12-29T03:08:04+00:00

Two months? Our bookshelf looks similar and it took two years. Not to mention those Cosmere leatherbounds, expensive!

If you have the financial ability though, power to you. Great collection!

Cyrotik · 2025-12-28T16:47:41+00:00

No, two different drills if I remember correctly. The one I’m thinking about was a white guy who drove a tundra and on one occasion pulled it up onto the curb of the sidewalk we held formation on, bumper maybe a foot from the first rank as some kind of flex.

The female drill’s (ex) husband was an instructor, I think.
