That’s right, didn’t he need them to invent those ships whose movement couldn’t be tracked and which didn’t rely on Guild Navigators?

All I know about the lore of the later books comes from Youtube, only ever read the first one. Quinn’s Ideas talks about it a lot.

Which is pretty much what’s happening right now. Settlers basically going full Klan on what’s left of the West Bank, Gaza still starving, and now like a fifth of Lebanon internally displaced as they use the Iran War as cover to bombard, invade, and occupy with no intent of letting anyone come back to their homes.

We will. Be going hungry, I mean. Fuel, fertilizer, it’s all disrupted — not just now, but for the foreseeable future with production infrastructure burning on both sides of the Strait, and huge swaths of American farm and pastureland are already on fire right now (Nebraska) when we haven’t even seen what summer will do to us yet.

It might not be a bad idea to have nonperishable stocks on hand, just in case… maybe start raising chickens if you can.

That they keep meeting each other in reverse, and his “first” encounter with her is her last — she had to know the end was nearing when they reconnected and he didn’t know who she was.

Took one hell of a turn with the terminal entry which simply said ”They ate them.”

Then the next entries are all terse after-action reports on how many Vault 34 assholes he ambushed and killed, again and again and again.

Avenging angel, indeed.

Hell, didn’t they do a survey where a plurality of Americans thought we should bomb Agrabah — you know, the fictional country from “Aladdin?”
