5 shaheds in a truck, from Wikipedia

Shaheds can be dealt with, but apparently not by the US military and their broken procurement...

Shahed have been a known threat since 2019 (although that was a earlier model), and they are a remarkably low-end threat:
Performance wise they can only barely outrace a piper cub: ~120 mph.

Pulling a point I made in some replies onto main: I think one big shift in how the public is reacting to people who don't vaccinate their kids is that as recently as, say, 2023, you could look at your anti-vax neighbors as annoying flakes and a theoretical risk - but far lower case numbers meant...

The Mostly Forgotten Alien Nation: Mild Hit, Cancelled, Uncancelled, Cancelled, Uncancelled YouTube video by Secret Galaxy

Oh HELL yeah. God, I love Alien Nation. I haven't seen it since its first run and I still remember a bunch of quotable lines from it. The movie bangs, too. I don't care what Ebert said about it.

Tribes in the Dark has dream magic that is both relatively slow and not flashy, as well as ritual magic. No fireballs there.

Who decides who qualifies as a game designer?

The thing is, it's possible to create a VTT that doesn't need to provide bespoke "support" for specific games; it just needs to have flexibility and ease of use. I create myself but I suck at writing application code, despite being in tech.

For sure, I just never realized it was yet another indicator I'm not neurotypical (as if I needed another one).

Learn. To. Mend. Your. Clothes.
Fixing stuff you already own is pretty much always the cheaper option over buying something new. There's a billion how-to videos on youtube, books in the local library, and probably people at the maker space /community college/ senior center who can show you how.

I misread that as "deadliest", and I was looking at that image and nodding in agreement, picturing someone getting beat to death with a metal cube.

That was partly funded by a $1 million KS and is $15, right? That's a lot of money going into it's development (which is my other issue with demand for bespoke VTTs, it's expensive as shit).

Stop Trump's Plan to Clearcut Western Oregon Forests - Oregon Wild

Here in the PNW we're enraged by Trump's BLM plan for clearcutting old growth and other forests at unsustainable levels that destroy fish and wildlife habitat, dirty streams, increase fire hazards, reduce resilience to climate change, and scar the hillsides that surround rural communities.
