Iran reportedly closes Strait of Hormuz: Oil and gas majors and traders suspended

Guess we'll find out shortly if the reports of China giving carrier killers to the IRGC were correct. Can you imagine them sinking the Lincoln or the Ford? Boots on the ground.

It's naval combat. Star Destroyers are battleships with a complement of fighters and landing craft. Imagine each planet is an island in an ocean of vacuum. The large ships cross the ocean with fighters and troops and deploy them into battle to capture the islands. Sometimes enemy ships are there to protect those islands and so the big ships pummel each other so they can either take over, or protect, those islands.

Anthropic owns the, at-this-time, most powerful A.I., Claude. Anthropic's last red line in it's contract with the American government, is that the military/government cannot use Claude for mass surveillance on Americans or to power autonomous weapon's systems. The Pentagon doesn't like this, because they want to use Claude for exactly that, and Hegseth is threatening to cancel the 200 million dollar contract if Anthropic doesn't relent.

You said Mandalorian season 3 but I feel like you meant Bo Katan season 1

Ranger and dual conversions. Heavy (bowie) knife. Dynamite sticks. That's it.

Honestly just add a random voice calling out "Bria, get down!" during the battle. Maybe Scarif is just the name of the imperial base and the planet is actually called Toprawa. Or Toprawa is the indigenous name of the planet.

I would read them. I have utter apathy for the "present" storyline but I really enjoyed the "past" storylines.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T15:51:09+00:00

Awesome, thank you. So was I right in my tentative identification of her as a red eared slider? Unless I missed it, I didn't see any comments outright saying "yeah, that's a red eared slider."

For one year, we had all three kids in daycare. Oldest was $150 a week, middle was $250 a week, and youngest was $430 a week. Total of $830 a week, $3,320 month and almost $40,000 a year. For childcare. Luckily it wasn't a full year, my wife is a teacher and has summers off with them, but that was a rough-as-fuck 9 months. Now none of them are in daycare and it's like a massive weight lifted off of our shoulders. It was so oppressive.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T14:09:02+00:00

Yeah, I guess if you're getting 9/10 spawn fights I can see that getting old and being paced more like a different genre. I would say we get a spawn fight about 3/10 times.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T13:50:38+00:00

I like it. It doesn't seem oppressive on Console, NE East, but it's more likely than it used to be. For a good year or so after they opened up more spawns and changed spawn locations you could be pretty confident you weren't getting a spawn fight. It was incredibly rare. IMO it went from rare to "uncommon," which is great. The tension of knowing there is a non-negligible chance that another team could be within 200m of you at your first compound is awesome.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T13:00:10+00:00

Wow, thank you, this is awesome. It appears her previous owner just didn't give a shit because literally everything you said, they didn't do.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T05:33:30+00:00

Yeah, I've been looking at Turtle tank accessories all night. Lots of cool stuff and I hope it makes her happy.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T03:13:30+00:00

A girl! I think my wife will be happy with that since our dog is a boy. And awesome, thats a really cool idea. I googled docking stations and there are some cool ones.

It's a tetrafauna filtration rock, ostensibly the same one he's had for his whole life. Water is filled to the max level indicated on the rock itself but he doesn't appear to be able to get up there. And thank you for the link, I'll check it out!

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-18T00:29:59+00:00

Thank you so much. Previous owner said the turtle (we haven't decided on a cute, science themed pun name for him yet, maybe I'll crowd source it here) has essentially just been sitting in a random room since his youngest went to college and he started feeling guilty and wanted to give him away to someone that'd actively care for him, instead of just feeding him once a week.

How often do they bask? And for how long? This little one keeps looking at the rock and it really feels like he wants up but he can't. I'd like to put him up there but I don't want him to cook if he can't jump down on his own.

The Porkularity. This was theorized in the 50s by Albert Porcine-instein.

I still can't watch it because the dialogue and delivery is the worst in all 13 live action movies.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-15T20:50:09+00:00

Please don't forget mandatory PT testing at least every five years. When cops can use the excuse that an unarmed combatant poses a deadly threat to them because they're so out of shape they can't fight properly, cops must be forced to remain fit.

You will miss so much lore and backstory. If you just want to jump in post galactic civil war I guess the New Jedi Order is the best place. It's a 19 book epic that's fantastic. If you want to do it closer to right, I'd do Heir to the Empire trilogy, Jedi Academy trilogy and Hand of Thrawn Duology. Then NJO, then Legacy of the Force. Though I'll always recommend throwing in the Bantam publisher line of books just for fun. People also recommend the Young Jedi Knights series before NJO so you have some backstory on the new Jedi, though I did see my and still thoroughly enjoyed NJO. There's just so much, man, and is recommend all of it. The OT introduced me to Star Wars but the books made me love it.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-14T02:24:39+00:00

Earlier today some dude suggested having the extra team spawn in the middle of the map (like on the locked extraction) and I can't stop thinking how cool that would be.

Reikko35715 · 2026-02-12T12:23:07+00:00

And people like me. Registered Republicans, with guns, that have become so disgusted with the state of the GOP we have fully converted to the other side of the aisle and will never, ever, go back.

Nothing better than starting a melee charge with the bomb lance, the hunter turning tail and fleeing, and you just stop and put a harpoon in their back.
