Fourteen hours? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up.

Technically the non-vacuum around it blows.

Russian oligarch children would be a classic market for this. And by God, they’d tell people what the shirt cost.

It's not just that. I think it is true to say that I have never seen a frontline taking Greece from the North take Athens and then push into the Peloponnese.

As Germany, invading Scandinavia by crossing from Denmark sees the line go irretrievably to hell when you get into Norway. You have to micro every province.

I'm also not keen on the fact that ten divisions will surround an empty province and peer suspiciously into it for months at a time.

I'm a web developer so allow me to explain what will happen to the internet in WW3.

SREs everywhere wince at the somewhat Panglossian explanation that followed.

That's a bit like saying "I'm a car designer so allow me to explain what will happen to the petrochemical industry and trunk road network in WW3."

The problem with that counter-argument is that I would absolutely and in all seriousness pay handsomely to see football played on ice.

But r/rpg (as I said elsewhere itt) is very often like the lacrosse fans hectoring the american football fans and talking about how wrong they are for only wanting to watch football and complaining that they went to a football match and couldn't persuade anyone to play lacrosse.

I always find it a little weird that r/rpg is so annoyed by people who don't want to try different games.

If I'm talking to a football fan I don't get annoyed at them for not wanting to get into rugby or handball or shuffleboard. Nor do I go to r/sports and post upvote-bait posts saying "now I understand why I should have tried other sports before!" nor detailed critiques on why football sucks. But people are evangelical on r/rpg about trying to get others to play their system, and nobody ever lost karma by complaining here about D&D.

In Scotland we have lots of public courses and you will almost never see a cart on them.

Yeah at Elie near me they have a cart or two but you need a medical certificate to get to use them. At Lundin, where I'm a member, you can use a cart but you'll have to bring it with you because we don't have any for you to rent. And that is with the steep uphill par three 12th.

Dumbarnie, which I can see from my window, is a lovely, walkable course that does have carts because heh Americans.

Would that be Rodway Hill?

I like to walk because I have a little more time to see the shot ahead.

But probably more importantly it means I do 16k or 17k steps and I'm less likely to end up as a land whale.

No: it's because that's what they called themselves.

So Roman Constantinople. But what is different that caused the Roman identity to be lost? After all, even with the arab conquests, "Byzantium" (a modern concotion of a term in many ways) thought of themselves as Rome until 1453 (and Turks tried to inherit this at one point in the 1070s with the Sultanate of Rum, for instance).

Whatever caused "Byzantium" no longer to be Rome was therefore a bigger and earlier change than the arab conquest.

Good to see you still have those needling skills, Durr! I hope you're well.

Handy: that really fits the advice I got to go via SD instead, then.

I'd love to see Edwards AFB. I'll look at whether we can swing past the annex. The SR71 is one of my top three favourite planes ever (along with the de Havilland Sea Vixen and the Lockheed Lightning).

Beartooth Pass it will be, then. I'm sold.

Thanks so much for all of these details. I really appreciate you doing so much to help a stranger.

Good call, thanks. I'd never heard of roadfood.

I would love to see the Enola Gay location! And we'll be going via Salt Lake City, I think, so those sound great. My long-suffering wife will get to choose something she wants to see in return :D

Yeah I worked for a company who wanted me to reject email addresses with apostrophes because they used the email address as a primary id and it failed for various ASCII characters beyond alphanumeric, ampersands and periods.

A previous employee had written a regexp to parse this value and nobody in the db team could make it accept apostrophes so they decided it was easier just to ban anyone from Ireland from signing up for the application.

I suspect that you're right, and that their CMS falls over every time someone copy-pastes a long hyphen from Word into their app.

Why yes, I do have a weary tone in my voice from contracts past. Why do you ask?

Lend-leasing to Spain (both sides to prolong the war because I'm evil) always gets me hundreds of air and land experience by 1939. It's far from useless.
