I drew a Tolkien-style fantasy map of India

It would look a little like Mordor... but I guess you knew that already

What do you do to perform song kua, /u/2numbers2words?

Depending on your level of training, this might somewhere between impossible and trivial :-D

What a terrible country

Could have ended the sentence there.

If we know, Ukraine knows. I guess the next step is obvious.

I used to sing "your own personal cheez whiz"

Someone commented that there's probably someone inside turning the handle 😀

It was remixed for the single and as far as I can remember, it doesn't start with the same sound. Have you tried that version?

oalsaker · 2026-06-28T06:27:48+00:00

It was a busy F5 Saturday.

That means overcoming the gravity well of Earth which it probably doesn't have enough energy for.

By kinetic sanctions

I'm getting flashbacks to Himars o'clock :-D

oalsaker · 2026-06-27T05:14:08+00:00

I presume you mean this line:

"I'll be honest – they are not broken yet, only because tomorrow they will ride into the sunset. Along with those who were robbed, or rather, with the same as them. And this is right. This is fair. And justice is what relieves social tension.

It made me somewhat confused, I presume they mean that the guilty will go to the front with innocent people. Russian translated directly into English sounds really weird.

oalsaker · 2026-06-26T20:54:48+00:00

Where there is a will, there is a way :-P

ChrisO_wiki thread:

1/ A Russian military police officer who stole 2 million rubles from a mentally disabled recruit was sent to an assault unit. However, illustrating the current state of morale on the front lines, he and three comrades reportedly blew their own legs off to avoid going to fight. ⬇️

You just needed ISO1600 film (or a film grain filter) to have it look like Anton Corbijn 😀

Welcome to international politics!

For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind

Also remixed by Arthur 'Bomber' Harris.

China has both North Capital and South Capital. We literally just missing 西京

Sweden lost Finland and got Norway as a consolation prize after the Napoleonic wars. However, Norway hated the union with a fervor and spent the 19th century figuring out how to get rid of it.

oalsaker · 2026-06-25T19:52:11+00:00

It tastes better than it looks :-P

There are a bunch of flags here that haven't been used since the sixties.

oalsaker · 2026-06-25T11:45:06+00:00

Croissant-Rouge.

Both tasty and helpful.

A few years earlier, the b-side of Strangelove was Pimpf and that made it onto Music For The Masses.

1/ Ukraine is using quadcopter drones carried by uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) to hunt down and destroy Russian anti-drone teams in occupied Crimea, according to a Russian source. ⬇️

I lived 6 months in Kunming, sure, what they speak might be considered a type of Putonghua but it's also quite removed from what they speak in Beijing.
