I think the point of Dazzle Camo is to make it hard to tell how far away something is, not actually hide it.

Also what direction it’s moving, and how fast maybe. It was a torpedo defense prior to torpedoes being able to automatically target things.

Well... maybe more specifically torpedoes fires from submarines, or just general submarine defense.

Trekkin was playing off the "oof" sound and the claim it was translated from Arabic. "Al-oof" is just a pun on "aloof", hence why it's insular and little known. Hector admonished at how bad a pun it was.

Much thanks. I wasn't going to come up with that on my own.

I had to do a mental triple take before I got it, and then I was mentally groaning.

I liked Reelya’s one though.

Just not as much as the al-oureng region.

So... air density changes the higher up you are so you can see further, but the further away you are from earth, the more air there is between you and the object you are viewing?

I don’t know why I find the lack of logic from flat-earthers to be quite so amazing, but I do.

Hell, they just said there are mountains and shit, so you say you can’t see things because while the theory is flat earth, it’s not a completely flat plane so you just can’t see beyond the undulations!

A Facebook friend posted a status with a link and a caption of "...ooof".

Facebook, seeing this, then decided to automatically translate "ooof" into "Dagnabbit"; saying it was translated from Arabic.


Considering the individual communicates exclusively in either Norwegian or English, I have no idea where they pulled that from.

To be fair, few would; Al-Oof is among the more insular parts of the region, and consequently little-known.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Doctor Doak realizes he’s less useful in combat than the others, not aided by his dwindling ammunition.

Move carefully toward the electrical wires at P16.

If I reach there, inspect the wires, what do they connect to, what do they do?

Conservatives in Wisconsin are also trying to get 200k people removed from voter rolls.

There was a mailing in October last year to see if people had moved, and the state election commission was supposed to remove people that hadn’t responded. They didn’t, Republicans got a court order, they refused again, the state supreme court was asked to get involved, they decided not to, the state election commission appealed, that was successful, then a conservative law firm asked the state supreme court to get involved again, and I can’t find anything since late January about it, so presumably they didn’t.

DAD: IN TRUTH, I DID NOT HAVE A FATHER.

Alright, Anakin, calm down.

Also, the difference between a wi-fi and a wired connection is slightly ridiculous. It took maybe 6 hours to download 60GB on wi-fi, and less than 30 minutes to download 32GB with a wired connection.

I may be getting spoiled. I recall it taking hours to download an entire 3 minute clip of a Ren and Stimpy episode in the ‘90s.

It was through a Republican former congress critter, apparently with whom Trump had no contact.

Given Trump’s Art of the Deal seems to be attempting to financially bully someone into doing what he wants, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was actually a thing.
