Anyone who real time has to confront something as epic as cat lawyer and doesn't break kayfabe...either has an amazing amount of self-control, or is a terrible person who is not capable of joy. I would have been pissing myself.

There is a reason you aren't a judge.

The shit judges have to put up with on a daily basis, cat lawyer probably isn't even the first animal lawyer the guy has seen.

At least it was just a cute kitten rather than some nightmare fuel version of furry cat porn.

I think 12 is the record thus far for LE Modesitt in the 'most commas in a single sentence' category. It's so distracting I made a game out of it (I'm personally more of a parenthetical aside kind of guy).

Hmm...hadn't heard of the term before but doing some quick Googling I would say I'm a Structure Purist as either a Doctrine Purist and/or a Doctrine Radical since to me "Loitering" means in this case the ability to circle / hover / maneuver near a target in the air for an extended period of time before maneuvering to strike a target. The Brimstone / Doctrine Neutral is borderline since I don't think it can stay up in the air that long.

Yeah, a loitering munition implies the capability to fire it without a target, then for it to either pick one or be sent one later. Otherwise literally any projectile is a loitering munition, especially if you use a definition of 'loitering' that allows < 1s loiter times.

Though it is the closest thing in that image to an actual loitering munition besides the two drones

Why isn't a landmine a loitering munition? What's with the air fetish here?

A landmine is not able to discriminate targets, which a loitering munition is.

What if you had a landmine or minefield connected to some kind of FOF signal? etc. (not at all out of the question)

Then it could be a loitering munition. More appropriately a remote controlled car with a go-pro would be a loitering munition

I think loitering munition requires some degree of capacity for observation of the target and delivery via the air. I guess a FoF system on a landmine would be functionally similar to an unmanned drone that can autonomously deliver strikes - I'm not sure anyone has so far been willing to use machine intelligence to pull the trigger on strikes yet though - but unless it's a land mine that propels itself into the air and then explodes I don't think it's in.

Yes, I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?

Popped up as joke-image in my timeline. Quick search showed they really tweeted that. Edit: I mean, Lahore...maybe. Hard pass on Khyber pass. Edit 2: Talking of which, I can really really recommend this book. Written extremely gripping and damn interesting.

I don't even know where to put this one. Art? MMO? (from a Frazetta Girls email)

"the blockchain gaming world of the vulcanverse as a 1 of 1 NFT playable character" is one of the phrases of the last 10 years that most makes me want the rapture to start right now, however I sort out in it.

It's the name of a site that sells Frazetta prints, drink coasters, T-shirts and all that kind of shit.

His daughters were doing the convention circuit with his work and decided to develop the brand. Some nice prints, but they're showing to be pretty loose with the license, lots of keychains and pint glasses kind of nonsense. I bought a bunch of prints when they initially made them available, well worth it. The rest of the cruft they spam my email with makes me feel like they're trying to connect with 14 yr old me (want a death dealer back patch for your denim? how about BUTTONS!? ye gods) This one was just too rich. I'm honestly a wee bit interested in the NFT plots of land (as an oddity, not as an "investment", ofc). Someone ping Raph, smacks of UO.

I have never heard of the original Frazetta guy either, and had to google him yesterday. Some of his art looks vaguely familiar, but I am not really into art/artists at all.
