It's all been work and mostly Cities: Skylines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the -ism, not sure about the Roman version, but Hera is probably one of the most cheated-on women in all of the world's mythology.

That was actually me lol. I don't have a problem with it, I just find the correlation between civilian and military on the internet interesting from a sort-of-anthropological perspective. 15 hours ago, JoeSchmuckatelli said: Quoth the resident 'nuclear war guy' In my defence, in "real life" physicists (and thus scientists) often are responsible for nuclear targeting or heavily involved in developing the doctrine for such weapons, due to their advanced nature. An example of this I have been having fun reading about recently is how many a military related official in the 60s said "we need nukes in 'Nam now" but the scientists and civilian analysts said "not only would that be politically and morally disastrous, it wouldn't even be militarily effective". 5 hours ago, JoeSchmuckatelli said: Is she holding a frying pan to hit him with? (sorry not up on the mythology) It is probably a scepter. The Lego piece itself is officially a magnifying glass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 NASA began production work on four units of the Apollo Lunar Mapping and Survey System.

kerbiloid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Why not? The 1F platform (the Phoboses) is based on E-8's KT landing-transfer platform посадочно-перелётная платформа КТ and Frigate upper stage. Good classics never dies. And somebody didn't believe that Saturnian tech was scrapped for reasons. (Let alone R-7 & 7K, of course. And there is still Proton not forgotten.) Brazil also is fond of moonshine aircraft engines not j4lulz. The water towers for steam locomotives still exist on their places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 One survey has counted 54 various monuments marking the boundary of Europe and Asia in Russia. Almost all of them are in the wrong place, some of them are 'duplicates' located on the same road, and almost all of them have their own supporters. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2588910?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fzen.yandex.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumstance is not evidence. It should be noted though that if we use such logic, the Hubble Space Telescope, the coming Xiantun space telescope (and by extension, the crewed Tiangong space station) and many (if not all) civilian Earth observation satellites automatically become valid ASAT targets.
