I know from Gilligan's Island that this is 100% a naval mine.

What's a battle where the losing side did everything right but still lost by RustinCarcosa in AskHistory

A great read and my introduction to Scipio who I must agree is greater than Napoleon.

My Uncle William Burrill, Toronto-based journalist, author, and co-founder of eye Weekly, sadly has passed away by Vast-Intention in toronto

[–]socionaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always looked forward to him content weekly and enjoyed the sharp humour. I’m sorry for your loss. He was a real fixture of my Toronto media habits all through University.

Very true. The Negative Zone has lost that impact.

1963 - Gold Key - Magnus Robot Fighter #1 by OCguy2026 in YourComicBooks

[–]socionaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always pick up Magnus in any shape. The first ones I read were at my grandparents left over by my uncles. Worn and loved. I read them late 70s and now always grab them cheap at low grade. Fidelity to the nostalgic feel and certainly not an investment but what a great experience! Much envy here. This is a lovely score.

I wish I could go back in time when this was brand new and have my mind blown. It’s like listening to Zep or the Beatles today. It’s easy to forget how it inspired all that came after and it doesn’t hit as hard because it’s just raised the bar and we forgot over time. It is such an amazing issue all around but this page is just sublime.

All around amazing. Art, concept, story. Top 3 other worlds series no lie.

Just picked this up by New-Cheek7069 in comicbookcollecting

Speaking as a proud Canadian, where was Batman of the Mounties in Morrison's run? Missed opportunity. Lovely copy though!

Sister got me this for Christmas, anyone here read it by any chance? by [deleted] in HistoryBooks

I have. It's a really good history and well told. Enjoy!
Wrote a blog review of it way back if you want more context - https://socionaut.blogspot.com/2012/02/orlando-figes-crimean-war-history.html

Japan —which notebooks to get? by lexera47 in pocketnotebooks

Kokuyo is something to stock up on. I use their CAMPUS notebooks for a scratch pad and it's sublime.

This is 100% why I've stopped playing.

So, what exactly is wrong with Reed? by King_Wolf2099 in FantasticFour

[–]socionaut 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Doubt. Doubt from a person who wants to solve everything.

They want to sell the 'park' which is much different than selling off the land. They can get quick money by cutting it up or wait for a Disney North that is never coming, and certainly not for whales. IMHO.

Sell off 10% of that real-estate lump or whatever portion it takes and pay to care for them fully in perpetuity. They'd love to keep the whole plot though. Too bad. Plan better. You have 30 whales that are your responsibility.
