The US Navy forgot to do one very important thing before decommissioning the Iowas:

Give a performance of the 1812 Overture with full broadsides for percussion.

Beside North Korea

Beside North Korea

Actually, that they *did* do, sans the 1812 Overture.

Unlikely

Yes. It would be more likely if the scene was underwater. Unless this is SLC-6 from alternative timeline, as Vandernberg sits 112m above present sea level -- but in this case, desert climate would be more appropriate.

Arnolfini portraint, van Eyck, 1434. Click to zoom and look at the mirror in the center. Cool, eh?

Huh?
That face... looks familiar.

I once did an Orbiter render set in such future, note the coast line.

The title was Exodus 34/7. For those too busy to look up the verse, it reads (NIV): Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.

Sitting in school, I just received a sheet titled "Mixed questions about electricity". There isn't a single question mark on that sheet. Nor are there any sentences that would make any sense if you substituted the period with a question mark. I've just about had it.

So, I (used to) have a nice big glass coffee mug, in which I decided to test my brand new electric heater (geeky, but I love how you can see the bubbles form on it). Water started boiling in no time, then in went the coffee and that was it. And then I realized it was a bit too hot, so I took to cooling it by putting it slighty diagonally under the faucet. And then I heard a crack :rofl:. Time to get new coffee mug

Visual Studio Code is becoming more and more my default notepad. I think I'm using it more than Notepad++ itself.

It's pretty good too

Happened to me a long time ago. The directory view with basic file commands is just too darn convenient.

The only thing I'm dissapointed about is that drag and drop from the directory view into the shell doesn't work.

lolwot?! Ed Force One...

Yeah, sadly. Two airport workers had been injured in the accident and taken to hospital.

They are now looking for a replacement jet, since undercarriage and two engines had been damaged in the collision.

Yeah, there appears to be a reasonable amount of blood spattered on the ground leading from that crushed tug in the picture. Hopefully they'll be OK.
