    Well, there hasn't been a good capital ship fight in... anything that I can think of, for decades. But is he tichy?

    Prototype?

    I once made the mistake of buying white LEDs. Oof. Turned the bedroom into an operating theater.

    Interesting article suggesting that Skif is there simply to prevent the 2015 frequency band claim from expiring. https://vsatman888.livejournal.com/395470.html It was the Grom for 2021, IIRC. That, and the numbers are likely to be an apocrypha - publications from February 2022 avoid mentioning a number.

    And here I was wondering whether model enthusiasts bother with twenty different shades of blue. Turns out the big boys definitely don't.

    The sky in Moscow cleared up for this one day, coincidentally. Didn't get to see it. So here's a picture from the Museum of the World Ocean, Kaliningrad.

    All bets are off, of course, but a craft like that is likely to have special accomodations.

    That, and the occurence of mental health issues goes down. "Chronic neurotics of peacetime now drive ambulances".

    A Ukrainian video is highly unlikely given the source, and somewhat unlikely given Russian voice comms. So, RuASF or Ru PMC.

    Discovered that the new DLC for Rimworld adds children and child-rearing, as well as bioengineering. Naturally, the reviews are split between "finally, catgirls" and "finally, child slave blood banks and organ donors".

    I've got this vague, vague memory from reading about ISU-152 almost two decades ago that one of the Tiger aces (Carius?) survived a turret-tossing.

    Technically, it's 1920s-1930s naval warfare. Back then, not everyone was dead-set on separating their carriers from their battleships and so there were plenty of hybrid designs.

    To be fair, ion engines of SW are basically some sort of fusion or fission fragment propulsion. Also, some of the really old works sought to restrict TIEs from atmospheric flight altogether.

    Don't think I've ever seen a first-person ejection video

    This is what sampling bias looks like. The data is from the National UFO Reporting Center. Instead, many people posting this are going "LOL, Anglophones..."

    In 1773, a 15-year-old coxswain Horatio Nelson, while part of an Arctic expedition onboard the HMS Carcass, is said to have attempted to hunt a polar bear with a rusty musket. Naturally, it misfired, which prompted Nelson, contrary to everyone's advice, attempted to clobber the adult bear with a musket.

    That's a quad launch out of Vostochnyi. Promised today. Jeez, that's a busy week.

    Soyuz-2.1v, Kosmos-2561 and 2562, Plesetsk. Everyone is drawing a blank on satellite types.

    Predicate 1: UzAuto is a major car factory run by General Motors Predicate 2: Uzbekistan is sunny Result: "Your driver will be in a white Chevy" "Uhm... thanks?"

    These people will also sway depending on who's being successful through the use of what at the time. Remember, our new weapons are miraculously powerful, their new weapons are a sign of desperation.

    There we go. FOBS-MOBS conflation and fearmongering about RED CHINESE ORBITAL NUCLEAR BATTLESTATIONS. [/LibertyPrimeMode] See article posted above.
