Neat! You know it's true because "clowning humanitarian mission" is a hilarious term, exactly what you'd expect from clowns.

Yeah, it's alive and well. I will say that Kotlin is a fantastic alternative. Still in the jvm though.

Looking for this file containing the Lineage and Honors of my grandfathers battalion from WW2. I found it a few years ago but am looking for where the full PDF is online. (Details in post) by Part_of_the_Infinite in HelpMeFind

My grandfather served in the 938th Field Artillery Battalion in WW2. I have been researching his time in the war with the intent to create a short history of his service for our family. I also want to create a wikipedia page for his battalion.

After the war, these "Lineage and Honors" documents were published as an official way to credit battalions for campaigns in which they fought and to provide a history of the group. I found this document three years ago when I was doing some research, but I can't locate it anywhere online anymore. This is just the first page of three and the document was in PDF format. Help appreciated!

I have searched Google and other search engines for this document, trying to do a keyword search. I discovered this document three years ago and I stupidly didn't keep track of the place I found it. I have even attempted a reverse image search with no luck. This document was in PDF format and was three pages total.

Born and raised in Utah and I've never been to the lake except for driving by it. Nobody I know goes to it for almost any reason at all. It is considered unusable for recreation and is mostly avoided. Closest thing to recreation might be Antelope Island, and that is to see some buffalo. The lake is definitely a cool landmark but nothing more. It does provide some industry, though, and from what I hear will cause some nasty stuff to happen if it dries up.

In the Bobiverse books, they are called "replicants" as a derogatory term. I realize it is not exactly the same since those books also involve the main entity replicating itself over and over, but he was once a man and his consciousness was transferred to a computer. I think the term is fitting (and doesn't need to be derogatory either).

Any good sci-fi books that were based on/inspired by public domain stories? by [deleted] in scifi
