"The tale of the two friends who really wanted to hang out but were too busy" -the great classic tragedy by Aeschylus. The scene where one of them realizes they cant hang out on Wednesday because they have to go to a work thing on Wednesday will break your heart

Goths are fascinating. On goth festivals you get merch stores for BDSM-looking fashion, black leather clothing and tons of rivets right besides the fluffiest plushies you've ever seen. Mostly bats and black cats of course, but still...

It's very funny to me that the stereotypical gelatinous cube is bright fucking green when the monster itself is almost perfectly transparent. Like its gimmick is that it's a monster that imitates an empty 10x10 hallway. How many people have fallen victim to gelatinous cubes because they "know" that the ooze is bright green and so don't bother to check the suspiciously clean corridor in front of them.

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

@traumschwinge Fresh trauma for Lee!

Also I cant help but think of Ahsoka where a similar strafe against her shuttle does absolutely NOTHING to the ship. What.

I absolutely adore the ongoing history of the Douglas DC-3, a design born in the early 30’s as the DC-2 passenger plane

Which showed so much potential it was improved into the current DC-3 version just a few years later

Then the US Army Air Corps took notice of the plane, equally liked it, and turned it into quite the formidable military transport, eventually helping win WW2

But her military carrier didn’t end there, as the airframe proved rugged and reliable enough to be turned into a gunship barely 20 years after WW2

Meanwhile enjoying massive success in the post-war civilian market, with so many made they basically became a mainstay of airports all over the world, even somehow turning into a floatplane in the process.

But as the years went on, the type proved to be virtually irreplaceable, so rather than retiring it, many operators opted to upgrade it, ending with a full modernization effort that basically turned the plane into a turboprop

Which was also reflected in its earlier military form, now deadlier than ever

And while some failed yet interesting attempts where made along the way to give the plane other uses, like this long-range three-engine variant

The success of the original design has ensured we will keep seeing them in the skies above long after it turns 100 years, arguably the most remarkable aircraft design of the XX century.
