The Expanse if you like Altered Carbon

Glad I picked up new NAS drives when I did. 8x 18TB Seagate Exos for $180 each. Two years later its doubled

Yea, think about that rabid Cuno shit

TIL

I see what you mean, but if I were to nitpik, I’d say the past tense participle of “wind” is “wound”, not “winded”.

Almost certainly an accident

At least he didn’t say “no nut November”

Sandgropers were once thought to be degenerate mole crickets

Great band name right there

It seems I did not scroll far enough down and missed a considerable amount of the article. Thanks for pointing out the obvious without being a dick

This doesn’t make sense to me…

Are these people getting shot with real bullets In the face/eyes and surviving, or are they getting hit with rubber bullets? 400 people surviving actual rounds to the face is a lot more then I would have expected, but there is no mention of “less than lethal” ammo being used in the article.

CO2 = plankton ghosts

“I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way,” Trump said at the White House.

Not quite the same, but I fondly remember PBEM (Play By E-mail) games. When you found one, you emailed the admin with a request to join and a character profile. If accepted, they’d add your character bio to the website. Once part of the game, you can “attack” other characters, which basically meant emailing the game admin and requesting a battle. Then, the writers (who were often volunteer players) would jot up a short story, detailing your battle with the other player.

Sounds pretty corny by today’s standards but I had a lot of fun. Plus they were often themed on DBZ and Gundam and shit.

Just make a fuckin movie!

The drunk octopus and his equally drunk friend are ready to fight you for your robes

Oh fuck that was you?! Glad you’re healing up, great work!
