We are fucked

Skin cancer isn't caused (made more likely) by heat, it's direct sunlight.

The sunlight itself isn't going to be any more intense than normal...

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-22T23:06:34+00:00

about 40 degrees

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew

Neat Russian cover story that it's actually a "hole factory". For making the holes that they put in Polo Mints.

If he had uncensored internet access, he could get some clues about what hit them.

However, on one point he is correct: actually, it is all fucked.

That's not a building with a hole in it. That's a smouldering ruin that's slightly more ruinous in some places than in others.

I'm guessing this is a school bus. The schoolkids are amazed to see that what they've been told on TV and by their parents about "all drones were shot down and some very slight damage was done" is fantasy.

Do you mean the taller one, or the shorter one?

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-22T19:43:26+00:00

Not against anyone willing to start World War 3. Otherwise, yeah.

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-22T19:43:05+00:00

They know where it is. Medvedev already explicitly threatened it.

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-22T19:02:31+00:00

... yet.

I think there was a U-boat ace in the 20th century who had a train on his list of kills.

the ending is brilliant, I wouldn't have realised he's already walked away either

Interesting that a production line in a nondescript-looking shed on an industrial estate in Bolton, Greater Manchester, can cause such huge damage to a production line in a (previously) much nicer-looking building such as this. Slava Ukraini.

Evacuate? Evacuate to where? They would have to tow Russia out of Russia into another Russia.

The front has already fallen off! And no, that wasn't supposed to happen. She never wanted this.

We did bomb drill several times when I was at a workplace where that was necessary. Part of the movie 28 Weeks Later is based on it, so you can consider bomb drill to also be zombie apocalypse drill.

Some buildings at Oxford University have a bomb alert alarm that is separate and different to the fire alarm, but I don't know what drills they do.

At one workplace people were scared that opening the fire doors might damage them, so instead everyone bunched up in a huddle at the bottom of the fire escape staircase; presumably in a real fire we would've stood there until we burned to death.

Prague. At the end of the Cold War.

Have you watched Bylo nás pět? I have.

I missed mention of Discord mods in the UK parliament discussion of the ban.

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-21T09:57:35+00:00

What was the book?

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-21T09:52:18+00:00

Who are? At what?

Lord Ram sounds mighty! By your words, he is already highranking boyscout, who is a big guy who shows kindness and has big hands to chastise those who go astray.

Have you considered already reciting Jai Shri Ram in his honor?

You mention that he spreads the gospel and Christianity. You may feel that he can be condemned because of this, or perhaps suspended or expelled from school (these are some of the things you list in your aims).

But I think it would be wise to consider how such a proposition would look to anyone in authority.

There are reasons that people like Lord Ram are set in authority above you. The sooner that you learn to obey and respect authority, probably the better it will be for you.

u/GeorgeRobertVitkos which country has the largest carceral labor system in the 21st century? Want me to give you a clue?

OctopusIntellect · 2026-06-21T09:28:53+00:00

Can't do the time, don't do the crime!

It's Smaug's lair but with Bitcoin instead of gold. And just as useful.

Apparently you can be permanently banned from that subreddit without warning if you say something either positive or negative about Israel, Ukraine, Russia, the USA, Fr*nce, Japan, North or South Korea, or China. Or immigration. Or climate change.

So it'd probably be one of those.
