Necessity is the mother of invention. They now have, let's call them manually guided munitions, for a fraction of the price of a comparable weapon from the US MIC, in a fraction of the time it would normally take to procure.

The US actually gave Ukraine switchblade 300s earlier in the war, and Ukraine said "eh" and duct taped RPG warheads to racing drones.

Then they did some inspired shit like putting remote detonated directed munitions on drones, thermite grenades on drones, a one two combo of a regular frag to make Russians hide in bunkers followed up by a thermobaric grenade, and goddamn tubes with shotgun shells on drones to hunt other drones.

Just look at the history of any country without nukes. Iran wants nukes.

strawberries are quite hardy.

They're insane. We didn't weatherize our beds for winter but the strawbees didn't care. They took over nearly the entirety of both beds. They also try to escape the beds occasionally.

If you used a credit card you can just chargeback. I'm sure the video is more than enough evidence. Best buy will be out a laptop and the money for it so it's their problem from there.

Taking turns topping, obviously.

Yeah nothing stuck out to me except a few awkward moments on the first watch but after becoming familiar with the CR crew's vibe in the later episodes, it's incredibly cringey in retrospect.

They've never really said why he left and most Critical Role communities will shut down any discussion of it. Not sure why. It's a DnD game. We've all had to deal with bad players.

The cast refuses to speak about it out of respect for Orion, and most CR communities respect that and ban any discussion or speculation as to the reason for his departure.

Orion has come out since then admitting to having a drug problem, so that (in conjunction with the extensive list you posted) seems the most likely explanation for him getting the boot.

Also of note, he made his own spinoff audio series based around tiberius and his adventures, in defiance of tiberius being canonically dead in CR. He made a kickstarter to turn it into an animated series but evidently just ran with the money and the series never materialized.

That's fucked up.

Ukraine has been keeping a tally of Russian losses since pretty early on, and it's been pretty much perfectly accurate.

Pray I do not remake it further.

Leftist. Liberalism is a right wing ideology.

 

You can just lure them inside with wet food!

We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.

 

This is roughly the harvest every other day. Already have a gallon freezer bag full. No complaints here.

Carrots and peppers were kind of a wash last year so we just let the strawberries run rampant. They're happy as hell and the fruits are have gotten bigger as the plants matured. The left side was clear enough to put beans where the tomato plants used to be. I was planning on skipping tomatoes as well because they got absurdly large and bent their cages, but some of the fallen ones must have seeded because we had 3 little tomato plants shooting up. They're in separate pots now and hopefully that'll be more manageable.

 

My Feldon deck isn't my best, but it's by far my favorite to play. Every time I do, I discover new fiddly interactions I hadn't even considered before. It's capable of getting out of the craziest situations with enough mana and shenanigans.

I recently threw in karn the great creator to test it out. Ended up wishing up rings of brighthearth from my binder, but it played so well in putting it in the main (not sure why I didn't earlier, honestly). My dilemma is I don't have many other artifacts outside the deck that I would really want.

Main question/TL;DR: what are some situationally good artifacts that could go in a mono red artifact/graveyard deck.

Decklist if you're interested. Not up to date but close enough.

 
 

Heading to Bonemass. Realized we were surrounded by plains but noticed a small break in the land. Thought it might be a gap between two separate islands. I was wrong. By that point I had no choice but to rip through it at full sail and pray. I did not die for my mistake, and it was difficult to impress upon my friend just how lucky we were to not have been murdered.

 

I knew of thin mints. THICC mints caught me by surprise.

 

Dipped my toes into Linux maybe 10 years ago. It was awful and turned me off of it. Also the fact that I occasionally have to deal with some bespoke bullshit distro at work that does nothing that literally any tutorial I google says it will.

But I finally gave it another shot. Girlfriend got a smart TV. I got sick of ads. I had an old Intel nuc laying around that I bought for a dedicated DDR machine but it didn't go great, so I stuck dietpi and pihole on it. Was still a mild clusterfuck and had dozens of open tabs trying to figure out what was breaking, but by 5am I had pihole configured and running, a plex server set up, and a desktop. Today I got the ftp server up so I can move stuff into plex without messing with flash drives. Still haven't figured out desktop through ssh but that's a later problem.

Bad news is youtube ads come from the same domain as the videos so pihole is useless there, but I'm still having fun and very excited about what I can do with a cheap piece of hardware I thought was useless. For the next project I'm thinking maybe trying to de-google my Google home minis and have a locally hosted assistant, but that would probably take a ton of research beforehand.

Suggestions, encouragement, and harassment welcome.

 

Truly love the Mandalay for traveling. It's insanely zippy in supercruise making for quicker transitions between stars, the jump range is bonkers even before engineering, and the thermal efficiency means you don't even need to clear the star before jumping. Also it's unbelievably stable in SCO, and maintains overcharge for way longer before overheating.

I still love the 'conda because it does everything, but it's a fuggin' boat and flies like one.

 

Tree was up for a day and it already has its first resident.

 

 

Was gaming. He made himself comfy.

 

Been going to power wreckage to scoop up escape pods for my weekly missions. This pisses off the enemy faction and the start shooting. I shoot back, I get a bounty. What gives?

Edit: I'm a moron. Enemy power system.
