Maybe KJU sees this as a way not to have to use NK’s limited food on the soldiers? We know they get more/better food than the regular populace to help prevent coups.
OK, this is pretty good.
WHAT?

Very cool. Seems like a good idea for the terrain. $1 million each makes it a hard sell vs 13 patrol boats. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrol_Boat,_River
You know how some people’s like having a ridiculously huge truck just to show off to other people that have a ridiculously huge truck? Some gun enthusiasts are like that. It’s not uncommon to see novelty guns like this made, sometimes custom or sometimes by a factory. Stuff like a revolver that also shoots shotgun shells or a pistol with two barrels to shoot two shots at once or a bolt-action pistol to shoot the (basically) largest rifle rounds.
I think this happens in any hobby. I’m sure there are bird watchers with $5000 custom hand-ground binocular lenses or something.
It is the Prophets’ Will for you to hearken to it.
Here’s a great podcast episode about the design competition and fraught construction of the Sydney Opera House. https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/cautionary-tales/a-chorus-of-contempt-at-the-sydney-opera-house
It has also been featured in Star Trek as a hat.

I’m hear four ewe, bay bee!
You’re a sea cucumber.
His schlongs is in a jar somewhere. Best that, Jesus!
Thank you, I shall.
Oh I think politics are often an important part of sci-fi stories, but this was something like “Venus is great, but it’s not as great as the people’s glorious Socialist Utopia, where the workers rule and those imperialist pig dogs in the west have no power to corrupt us!” whose inclusion felt like it was mandated by a Kommisar. I don’t recall and can’t find the story I am thinking of, sorry.
I’d love to read some non-Western sci-fi! I read a Soviet short story once that was decent, bar the required political messaging.
Is there an extension cable involved!? Fabulous.
New to full time Linux desktop but I’ve had my crappy website running on a Raspberry Pi for like a decade. Mostly it works just fine and I barely notice it’s not Windows. I am trying hard not to pop into the Konsole every time because I know I’ll end up with a system so altered that I could never get it back the way it was.
Everybody talks about Wayland, but when I switch on the Debian login screen it just loops back to the login after logging in. I’m sure it’s fixable but why do I need to? Everything seems to work fine on X11.
Separately (I assume), it sometimes scrolls through the shutdown log and then just… Doesn’t. Quick search suggests I need a little script to disconnect some devices when shutting down. I’ll get to it eventually.
I also ended up with two copies of discord in my application menu somehow but only one in the installed apps menu. I’m guessing one is a flatpack or appimage or something. I might just remove everything related to discord and start over.
When I partitioned originally, I followed advice saying 30gb was enough for / since I have a separate /home , but a couple months in and it’s complaining it’s full. Oh well. Had to boot into a live image to resize the LVM because you can’t unmount/ of course, but still it was slightly annoying. The kde partition editor didn’t give me an error like “you need to unmount this first, idiot”, it let me enter a new size but when I hit ok it just ignored my input. It was keeping me safe, I’m sure, but an explanation message would have been nice.
I assume it’s the icon of the website blown up out of proportion. I’m sure the article is fine, this is a ME problem.
The worms or the kids?
