FTL and the other technologies aren’t going to be developed in my lifetime. Necessary cooperation between humans Earth-wide will have to happen first. We could do it if we all work together , but far too many of us are still assholes and hate each other .

And plunder Earth’s raw materials. Don’t forget that.

How did I not know about this? :/

I agree, but still prefer the old fashioned sound of a hardwood bat against skull bone. I find the “whack” sound more personally satisfying than the “dink “ aluminum bats make. If one must beat many with a baseball bat , then definitely aluminum is called for due to it’s long term durability.

We now own nearly seven acres of heavily wooded land in northish Florida. Would you like us to ship you a boxful? Pretty sure we gots plenty.

Funny. I thought they were called Florida Speed Bumps. ;)

We recently retired to the Bunghole of Nowhere in northern Florida. Cable internet is within a mile of our house (can pick up a faint WiFi signal from a Comcast router). Currently we use cell data throttled to 8 megabits up and 8 megabits down. It’s enough to stream Netflix at 1080p on one TV at a time. We are subject…

No, it doesn’t resemble an assault rifle from the Halo games.

Let me check with the voices in my head and I will let you know... ;)

Iron Eagle! I will watch anything with Lou Gossett Jr.

At least his character’s name wasn’t John Bigbooty or John Smallberries.

In that drawing, her headgear looks like a very large spider died upside down on top of her head.
