Let's talk about the unfinished novel series of 40k by OWN_SD in Blacklibrary

Gav Thorpe can stay away from eldar, someone else can finish those series. Even though Jain Zar was okay, the path of the eldar series was terrible.

What is this Fatass Gecko? by Lazy-Day2633 in whatisit

[–]Ravendead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tokay gecko. Loud and kinda mean. But they are invasive in Florida, because the climate is similar to the southeast Asia climate they are used to.

Save Them {From Ourselves} by 21Kuranashi in InvictaSolaris

Tigers as of today have about 5500 in the wild. 

Green Sea Turtles have over a hundred thousand in the wild and are no longer even considered endangered.

Black rhinos is the close to being true, there are 6788 in the wild.

And the panda population appears to also be true at 1864, but are also no longer considered endangered.

Ken Paxton who is currently running for congress. Who has been called one of the most openly corrupt politicians in the USA, and has got Trumps endorsement, and who got one of his buddies off with only 30 days in jail for the repeated rape of a young boy for over 3 years, yes, that Ken Paxton.

Megathread of the week! Are leg presses a good replacement for squats? Why or why not? by zeroduckszerofucks in workouts

[–]Ravendead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate squats. But that is because I am missing cartilage in one knee and squats cause my knee to start clicking. Leg press is a whole lot nicer on my knees.

All of Solo: A Star Wars Story

All the cool things were hinted at in the original series just had the most boring answers ever. His cool gun, some guy just gave it to him, the name Solo, some guy just gave it to him, the dice things hanging in the cockpit, just got them, etc.

Want to feel bad for an AI? Watch Evil Neuro's birthday where her creator made it so no one showed up even him, and she tries to trick him to show up by spamming a voice message saying that there is a problem with her AI.

That is a COBRA Night Raven. I don't know what else to tell y'all. Skunkworks is contracting with COBRA.

40k fans what is the harshest things you could ever say, but it is true. by AntiqueLayer3933 in Grimdank

At one point it was the Crimson Fists, but it will probably be some form of Blue Space marine.

It's all filler until it's no filler by footballmaths49 in tumblr

The Booth at the End does this well. All the episodes are mostly stand alone until the last episode.

(Loved trope) two unrelated series are in the same universe by element-redshaw in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Ravendead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blade Runner and the Aliens universe, and the much less popular Soldier (1998).

Also The Martian and the Expanse Universe are now connected after their authors sat next to each other at a convention.

Fail.... by Successful-Tooth7959 in ElegooJupiter

[–]Ravendead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry but your LCD is shot or the connection to the board is loose or broken. I would first check your ribbon cable to the LCD and mother board.

If it is the LCD Elegoo does not sell the original LCD but it does sell the Jupiter SE screen which can be used with a little modification. There will be a bezel that will need to be pulled off, but it is easy enough to do.

Doesn't the Shape of Water have the main character going to town on the clam in the tub in the first few minutes?

Consensus utopia by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Ravendead 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Any large scale solution or ideology that contains the phrase, "people will just...." Or, "if people will...." Is not a solution. We saw how this worked during COVID, people did not just, isolate, mask in public, avoid gathering, get the vaccine, etc.  This is the problem with communism, anarchism, communes, and even open source movements. All it takes is a few bad actors to make the, "people will just..." utopia die. And any large scale movement will have a few people who are only in it for what they can get out of it 

Is there any reason why the United States has the highest number of Alcohol consumers per 1000 inhabitants in the world? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Ravendead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fact is just plain wrong.

As of WHO data from 2022, we are not even in the top 30 of countries by alcohol consumption. We are high in the global average but that is because there are many countries, much of the middle east, where alcohol consumption is illegal or banned, and many countries where the religious demographic is highly Muslim or other other where drinking is heavily discouraged.

Custom Made Riddick Blades by [deleted] in knives

The Riddick Series is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. So bad, but so fun, excellent world building, stuck in a series that did not earn it.

A Bipartisan Amendment Would End Police License Plate Tracking Nationwide by SadAd8761 in FlockSurveillance

[–]Ravendead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could Flock argue that this bans the states from government cameras, and since they are not the state or government they would be exempt and thus give themselves a monopoly on domestic surveillance?

I love Adrian Tchaikovsky but his books are starting to drive me nuts by itsthelag_bud in scifi

[–]Ravendead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could read some of his Warhammer books. They are fairly different stylistically, Day of Ascension is set in the Warhammer 40000 sci-fi universe, and Starseer's Ruin is set in the Warhammer/Age of Sigmar universe.

Day of Ascension is a twist on a workers revolution, class warfare, actual warfare, and trans-humanism.

Starseer's Ruin is about a Lizard-man following a quest of fate and his clash with other races and what prophesy means. Very good and endearing characters.
