I'm not sure about that characterisation of Ripley in Alien. She doesn't survive by fist-fighting the xenomorph, she's not Arnie in Predator. She's just determined and resourceful.

You talking about Russia doing it: "Classifying tear gas as a 'illegal chemical attack' is really taking all meaning out of that term."

You talking about Israel doing it: "making it a similar war crime," and "...really gets that israeli war crime multipliers going."

...yeah I'm gonna stand by what I said

I have a feeling that you would not be commenting "tear gas is very tame" if this article was about Israel using it in Gaza

Scaphism, although the historicity of it is questionable

Noita! I've stopped playing it now as I more or less achieved everything I wanted to with it, but it really got a hold of me with how much it rewards creative approaches to problems

Mine definitely isn't gentle, but I think that that's only because I don't mind getting a little bit scratched up when playing with him so I only taught him to keep it to that. He understands that playtime is over otherwise. He seems to understand when he has done more than he meant to as well, he immediately goes from fighting to affectionate

Same experience with kneading though. It's very cute that he's so happy and comfortable but holy shit cat your claws are so sharp

Lynch is a professional communicator, surely? His job is literally to represent the interests of the members of the union. And he's very good at it.

How does that actually benefit Israel, though? The "war" against Hamas at the moment is so lopsided in Israel's favour that it seems ridiculous to even call it a war. A regional heavyweight like Iran could do some real damage, even if Israel's supporters all show up. I'm not seeing the argument for "anger a country with a fucktonne of missiles in order to get help winning a war we were already easily winning"

We can indeed print steel with direct metal laser sintering. I think that the object needs heat treatment afterwards, though to be fair it is almost ten years since I properly read up on it and things have probably advanced since then

You see it - an ambush. Four with crossbows, watching from the shadows in upper story windows. One leaning against the wall forty feet ahead with his finger twitching nervously over his knife. Three at a table, barely visible through swinging saloon doors, but each with a hatchet in hand listening for the sound of fighting. You feel every grazing shift of the wind, hear the distant crake of carrion crows unaware of the feast that is about to be laid out.

You see beyond the walls of the buildings, even. No, beyond... something else. Another kind of wall. One distant, but ever-present. Five titanic figures, shrouded in the haze of vast distances, looking over you. They speak, but you cannot know their tongue. One commands the others, a theatrical gesture wrought across the entire sky, and the other four hurl stones of mountainous proportion. What calamity have you witnessed?

And in an instant, they vanish from your sight. One of the crossbowmen shot your leg.

Here is you agreeing with a comment that includes the quote "How are they different from republicans? How is biden different than trump?" just yesterday

This is how the indicators look in the UK

it said something like “this is very high”.

Maeshowe, in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. It's a properly ancient structure, and there are 30 runic inscriptions in it which are all just straight up graffiti, including "Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up". My favourite part is it's not even that high up, like the guy was probably just on someone's shoulders.

Oddly enough we probably have the story of the graffiti artists. The Orkneyinga saga tells the tale of some 12th century Norsemen who took shelter there during a snowstorm and looted the place. By the time they did so, Maeshowe was already about 4,000 years old, and whatever they looted was probably left there by their own ancestors a few centuries beforehand.

Ehh, what you call yourself isn't important. The point is you're still eating a diet that's compatible with not fucking the environment

Never change, kbin thumbnails

Well my username is a bird, so I'm going to say it's just a severe case of self-loathing
