I live in Northern Australia where this exists and it’s a known threat every year when the rains come. My boss copped a dose from gardening and was in and out of hospital for a year. It seriously effed him up. I’ve known others to get it from potting mix. The bacteria really doesn’t care about humans, it just grows…

Logged in just to star this.

You mean: Thor approves.

I think I’d prefer a song about the Defiant to the theme of Galavant...

That isn’t a shuttle, it’s a quinjet.

They should’ve taken the first season to flesh out the universe. A story of what’s-her-face becoming the first female in the Rangers, the prejudice she encounters (and the smoothing of it because she’s a princess), and building up relationships on the borders with the other races.

Dude weaponised his beard in one show.

He isn’t the first. Teens have been gunning each other with them for a while here.

OMG I’m in range!

The warhead is dodgy but has potential but the rocket is a no-go for delivery. How likely is it that there’s a tunnel to Seoul that a warhead carrying truck can drive through?

Maybe a monitor? Flat deck on the back to launch a couple of UAVs, missile well in the front deck, big fuck-off gun in the middle.
