Honestly it probably went better 5 years ago. Cyber in the military has been floundering for a decade, but they probably hit a sweet spot around that time where competence met a lack of interference.

And some of them are doing aid missions or patrolling areas to deter invasions, and some are doing defensive cyber to protect US elections or to counter other nation-state hackers or their subcontractors who ransomware hospitals. It's not always murdering brown people.

Oof, I'm all for scantily clad character models with jiggle physics, but it should be omni-gender and there should be options overall.

it's me 100% of the time

I'm a fan of Анна Ястрежембовская's art, it looks almost real.

Don't forget a good hat!

Drunk bees get their legs broken by the hive bouncers. It's tough out there.

Makes sense, as you get older you get more and more disgusted by the weakness of your flesh, and tend to crave the certainty of steel.

I use the nerdfont variant for my terminal, it works rather well.

Bees.

Earliest reverse image search I can find is from 2014.

I know it hasn't stopped this administration yet, but he doesn't have that authority:

50 U.S. Code § 1702 (b) The authority granted to the President by this section does not include the authority to regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly— (3) the importation from any country, or the exportation to any country, whether commercial or otherwise, regardless of format or medium of transmission, of any information or informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds.

Fresh, lightly roasted coffee beans have a natural sweetness to them. I'm not a fan of sweet things and was surprised when I had it myself. That said, I'm sure even then that you'd be right, there are people who'd prefer it sweeter than normal.

I'm sure they're used to it and therefore are all like "meh, whatever".

It's a go-bag for fleeing the country.

I think one of the neat things about neo-paganism is that you can kind of make it up as you go along and it's perfectly valid. The gods are really just set dressing, shorthands to concepts that you can acknowledge and appreciate, with rituals and holidays more for mindfulness and community than harkening back to some proto-Germanic/Celtic worship for material gain from powerful spirits. I mean I'm sure there's some of that too and many people take it seriously, but I hardly think strict belief in the gods is necessary. Most of it's guesswork anyway, it's not like written language was widespread or lasting in those areas, and even then what's the real difference between going back a millennium or two and the present day when there's another 60-80k years of unknown language/religious history before that? Might as well find a name you like that other people recognize and go with that.

I'm looking forward to Paralives but the more competition the better.

The "spooky action" is really just the determination of a particle's spin on one side meaning you already know the other particle will have an opposite spin. This probably violates locality because you gain knowledge about something that's non-local from a quantum perspective, even though entangled particles have to start local (there are opposing interpretations, like the de Broglie-Bohm). While in fiction this might suggest that changing the state of one particle simultaneously changes the other, in real life this just means extra information you mathematically shouldn't have, and doesn't really lead to FTL information transmission. What it does mean is that if you want secure communications you can use entangled particles to generate a secret key, determining the spin of them on either side, and you can be sure that they haven't been tampered with and that the other side of the communication will be equal and opposite. It's essentially a one-time pad.

Assuming he was brain dead, at least he probably didn't consciously experience that pain, in spite of whatever involuntary bodily spasms he might've made on life support. The man you knew died painlessly at least, and I hope that brings you some peace.

And some vampire traditions have them with arithmomania, which is why to escape them you drop a large number of something in front of them (so they'll be compelled to count every single grain of rice while you make your escape, for instance).
