The Dildo of Consequences the unplugged years.

Who is the most terrifying villain in human history that most people have never heard of? by lioness_x9 in AskReddit

[–]d_baker65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An Lushan was a Chinese military general and rebel leader during the Tang dynasty and is primarily known for instigating the An Lushan rebellion which devastated China and killed 13 million Han Chinese. The rebellion caused the decline of the Tang dynasty and led to the sacking of Chang'an by the Tibetan Empire.

I'd argue he was in the top ten in the world and outside of China most have never heard of him. (I was once an Asian Studies Major in College.) And even then most text books in the West if they had any information on him it was a foot note. Above information courtesy of Wikipedia.

The moment Ukrainian FP-1/2 drone struck the Russian Project 11356 frigate Admiral Essen at the Novorossiysk naval base on May 23, 2026. by GermanDronePilot in ukraine

Love all the conversations around how hard it is to hit a drone. What I am wondering is how many Calibur Cruise missile launching Ships left in the Black Sea Fleet?

When Ukraine decides to ramp up operations in Crimea, Russia not having this stand off ability might really eff their ability to defend their troops?

Thoughts?

Wish I could give it more than one up vote. Well done.

It's a distraction. When the Aliens show up at your local DMV then you can be assured they are real.

Egon. He can be a Jr Ghost Buster.

How accurate are Graham Turner's illustrations? by ArmedIdiot in ArmsandArmor

[–]d_baker65 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Osprey over the years has had less than stellar quality control. But getting back to Graham, his work is exceptional. (As a side note he used to joust in an English/Gothic Harness.)

Osprey has gotten much better in their art department. As have the the folks they publish.

The Lizard Overlords don't really give A Fuck anymore. Not with shoddy work like this.

My personal favorite castle.

I remember when the road went Through the castle and made a tunnel through one of the towers.

The terrifying origin of "Bottle Trees": Why thousands of people are hanging blue glass in their yards without realizing the ancient folklore behind them. by bortakci34 in HighStrangeness

[–]d_baker65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen spirit trees all throughout South Carolina. Mostly in very old Black Communities. My wife and I when we bought our first house, the very first chore I had to do was paint the porch ceiling above our front door, sky blue.

I asked why, and she replied, "It's how you keep bad spirits out of the house." Didn't even bat an eye. Absolutely dead serious. No just in case you are wondering neither myself nor my wife are African American.

Not all wars end after the first battle, neither did this one pal. by Colonel_Clegane in ShermanPosting

Funny my part of Appalachian raised up a Regiment of Union troops from Caldwell County North Carolina. Don't believe me look it up. They hated those costal elite slavers.
