Eh, you could pretty clearly see something like that in the linked video. Just keep an eye on the pencils on the left. Bloody things kept repositioning themselves without outside assistance.

Glancing through old books remains something of a trip. The casual racism and sexism is a helluva' thing. Book on swimming (well, not drowning) technique cheerfully referring to women as "our future house keepers" (or something like that), cheerfully noting minorities are six times as likely to be "sinkers", etc., etc.

After posting I also vaguely remembered some show from when I was younger that involved a bunch of animal themed mechs fighting in some world spanning battle show or something to the effect, I never got to see that show proper though as it was always half over by the time I got home from school, usually just in time for Liger to do something awesome and the credits roll.
Ah, Zoids. There was like at least two or three five shows for that, and multiple spinoffs -- games were made for that series as far back as the NES. Definitely a lot of four legged mechs in that one, heh.

I can't even think of any media where 4 legged giant robots are even a thing.
I mean, star wars comes immediately to mind and I'm mildly disappointed you forgot it :-\

Beyond that, gundam has 'em, power rangers (and probably other sentai shows) has 'em, voltron has 'em, just for three more off the top of my head. Hell, battletech has them -- there's four legged argomechs, ferex.* They're not the most common things in the world but four leggers (or more; see ghost in the shell tachikomas for a mini-mech... though now that I double check they're four legged, too, just six limbed in total) are sprinkled all over the place in places where you find giant robots.

* Though now I see you sorta' mentioned that and I missed it somehow, whoops.

... did anyone here actually do that? I might have been one of like two people that mentioned the charge as-is wasn't out of line or whatever, and I'm pretty sure I noted that if shit changed and other charges dropped, the situation would, y'know, change.

Innit he still not extradited, anyway? Considering the new charges appear to be under the espionage act the UK might not even be allowed to extradite under their laws in the face of that. Someone or another on that side of the pond has some kind of restriction on doing that in the face of a potential death sentence, iirc.

While you're not wrong, I can confidently assure you those tools, like all tools, are mutant beasts that will unfurl their legs and flee in short order. The box will be forever, whatever tools it may or may not come with will be half vanished within the year. It's how these things work.

Is it, though? I'd figure it would be more making sure the mess didn't find a corner to hide in rather than scurrying off into the distance. You probably don't clean Gog-agog messes so much as evict them.

More than one, iirc, though I don't think there's one for the table top and I'm pretty sure they've been inactive for a while. There's been threads for individual games, definitely one for the new one and I think one for some kind of almost MUD like game. We do have a general table top/pen and paper thread though, I think, which discussion could probably fit under.

From another perspective, Harris's "If Congress does not enact my agenda, I WILL enact it through imperial fiat executive order" campaign promise is not a reassuring thing when one of the biggest problems with the country is the President having too much power.
I don't exactly disagree with you,* but most of the actual problem there isn't the president having too much power per se, it's congress repeatedly abrogating its responsibilities and powers. The presidency being as strong as it has been for the last while has less to do with it gaining new powers and more with congress not exercising it's own. That sort of campaign promise is functionally toothless if congress gets off its collective arse.

Now, if you're expecting congress to continue to just sorta' sit and spin on some subjects (say the GOP keeps the senate, which isn't exactly an impossibility) and refuse to galvanize or fight back against presidential overreach (again), well...

* Though that said, on some subjects it might could be stood if congress isn't going to do its goddamn job. Climate change is absolutely a national and damnably time sensitive emergency, just as a single example. Slopes are slippery and knock-on effects est, but we're running out of time to keep fucking around.

PPCs are like particle projection cannons, iirc. Basically giant massive range fuck-off lightning guns. One of the deadlier weapons in the setting.

I mean I never have more than 3 tabs open but maybe i’m a weirdo.
25 tabs open at the moment... But I'm allergic to bookmarks, apparently.
hahaha i've got over a hundred open on my mobile opera browser

until a recent update its open-new-tab + sign button didn't work anymore 'cause i had too many tabs open, i could only open more tabs by opening links in new ones or whatever

i make little islands among the tab sea of b12 and whatnot pages so i don't have to scroll as far to get back to them :V

though my main computer isn't as tab-y as usual these days. only thirty or forty open in firefox on the newer laptop, and not running a second browser on it

tablets have changed me kag, they've changed me

It sounds like they're supposed to be undead pirates, so... what else would they be using?
