Yeah, Japan's problem is that their tech literacy is weirdly fucking awful, while their ability to design/make tech is pretty good. Like, prior to COVID, they didn't allow remote work at all for a lot of office jobs, when remote work would do a lot to solve their problems with packing...

Japan wants in AUKUS, but has 3 problems: culture - need to have military culture that's more assertive and takes initiative, experience - need to get more experience after decades of pacifism and end of GWOT, cybersecurity - didn't invest in information control (and probably because they're...

That's real ballsy. I think they can take Terra, but I dunno if they can actually reclaim much of the Terran Hegemony besides the worlds within a jump of Terra. Hell, even doing that might not be possible unless they get all the old gear Kerensky passed down to ComStar under their control...

I've seen or heard some of these names being discussed as VP picks on various media, so I think that this is the list the Trump campaign has trial-ballooned.

FSU/Clemson vs ACC updates: The latest (May 3, 2024): The ACC must provide an unredacted copy of its ESPN contract to Clemson within seven days, a South Carolina judge has ordered in an interim ruling. But the contract remains confidential and can only be used for the litigation. That news...

Peter on how America plans to rule the world again: -Turkey and France have the geography and demographics to dominate their regions once the US pulls back -France trades less with the EU than the Brits -Japan made deals with Trump and Biden, so they'll be backed by the US for a while...

He hasn't put out anything on that, but he did describe the Stalker: They [Stalkers] are pretty nifty, should be easier to build than the more humanoid assaults and make great gun platforms. These too are licence built with modified local tech. They keep the two Large Lasers as the EA doesn't...

Is the schedule I status written into law? Because if it is, then this is probably going to get thrown out when the Supreme Court curbstomps Chevron Deference and restricts the power of administrative rule making.

Probably. Lots of people tend to look down on harming pets, especially dogs.

Currentpresent 9 Hanka (PX9-987) Milky Way Galaxy October 1997 SG-1’s first mission with its new Tollan member, Capitaneus Septima, was not the best, in Teal’c’s opinion. The issue had nothing to do with the Tollan officer, who was busy opening a small box to allow a half dozen Frisbee...

More games per season is just fucking stupid, especially in a league where there's already so many games per season, players are regularly getting hurt.

Ah, the brain donor Morann. Everyone would've been better off if Kosh or Ulkesh just smited him on the spot.

ComStar, especially the hard core "we need to be the apex of human technology" folks:

Yeah, basically help Harlan keep the place running (and give him somebody to talk to), while studying the tech alongside the SGC. I think they could possibly convince the Tollan to help them by teaching the SGC how to safely examine alien tech, in a low stakes environment like Altair. Oh boy...
