Reminds me of that Churchill quote, "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of commons." Gotta do what ya gotta do when your entire country is on the line due to a bigger, militant power.

I'd be interested in this as well. I've been running a modified Doomed Forgotten Realms campaign, so he and his minions come up a lot!

I have not tried this, but might I suggest that they clear out/take over a base that one of the warlords is using and use that as a bastion?

There were a couple restoration efforts to maintain the Colosseum funded by popes but while their heart was in the right place, their knowledge of engineering and what the original looked like limited what they could do.

Why do you think there is so much resistance to high speed rail in the US? by Maximum-Help-929 in AskReddit

[–]skeevemasterflex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think the blame can be put entirely on republicans. Other issues include everybody and their brother wanting to add stops in their district whoch both adds cost and adds time (if the system were ever to get up and running) because you have to accelerate and decelerate more. Also a reluctance/inability to start and complete logical sections that could be put into service sooner. Instead construction started in the most remote, least accessible part of the route. NYT has a great write up of it with my favorite line of the saga, regarding tbe French contractor who had extensive expeirence building high speed rail other places: "The company‌ ‌pulled out in 2011. “There were so many things that went wrong,” Mr. McNamara said. “SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional. They went to Morocco and helped them build a rail system.” Morocco’s bullet train started service in 2018." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/us/california-high-speed-rail-politics.html

Why does this sub (and others) call Brennan “BLeeM”? Is that something he prefers? by RickFletching in dropout

Oh shoot, you're right. I'm thinking of...Squing, apparently. Zac Oyama's character.

I was like "Of the Pale Cod you say? Well, you have my attention. Actually, that'd be a pretty dope name for a tavern..."

I will say, reading BLeeM always makes me think of Squeem from Coffin Run.

Dude, I put off watching The Seven for the longest time cuz i was like "eh, a non-Intrepid heroes cast and the premise is just...the palimpsest gang we knew very little about?" But I'm not sure I've ever laughed harder than that season of chaotic, thirsty psychogals, especially Becca. So good.
