It’s really disconcerting that our president can’t even pass a fucking Turing test.

Someone above and behind him got shot. You can see it in the videos that it was with the fist shot.

I’m saying he wasn’t the target.

It’s more aerodynamic than a brick.

Yes, the cockpit was under sling to make space for cargo, but they didn’t have to make that look like a beluga nose.

How russia Is Strangely Using Its "Rare and Irreplaceable" Be-12 Aircraft Against Ukrainian USVs (Video) | Defense Express

Is it just me, or does using soviet-era aircraft in roles it wasn't technically designed for just scream desperation on their part?

Honestly, I'm not entirely convinced that the bullet missed at all.

IT CAN'T BE THAT GOOD!

and beards.

I dunno why, but this guy always makes me feel insecure in my masculinity. (I can't grow a beard to save my life. Not an attractive one, anyways.)

what's hilarious about the movie is it did, in fact, manage to capture the absolute absurdity of the books, even if that's probably the only thing accurate from the book.

"This sash is a gift from the Queen of America!" is such a great line, too.

Also for the record, this was the OG Reichlieu:

So I have to say, Curry definitely nailed it.

Get you a girl that looks at you the way my grandma's cat looks at me.

Jump

FuglyDuck @lemmy.world 1d ago

honestly, I'd settle for a cat that looks at me like that.

I mean, don't tell my partner I said that... she's soooo much better. (she'd also probably dump me for the cat, if we're being honest.) (just so people don't get the wrong idea, we just aren't at a place in our lives where a cat would be comfortable.)

one of these?

edit: apparently the Super Guppies were replaced by the BelugaXL

Which, like, can you imagine the conversation between whoever designed that nose profile and their boss... "It's more aerodynamic boss. honest!"... "it's not because we're calling this thing a beluga?" ... "maybe not just..."

Give 'em the ol' razzle-dazzle!

FuglyDuck @lemmy.world 2d ago

The idea was that it would make figuring heading and speed hard to figure out. The guns were reaching at ranges where you needed to know that fairly accurately to land a shot even close to that.

The reason the dazzleflage went away was radar, which didn’t care about paint or even being close enough to be seen.

Why did I feel so hungry today for no reason?

Jump

FuglyDuck @lemmy.world 2d ago

This is really a conversation you should have with a doctor, and not randos on the internet.

But there’s a few things- you seem to have had a massive carb load (the fried rice), which can make you drowsy (even if the rice is a low glycemic carb, enough is still going to spike your blood sugar.)

Your body then responds by producing insulin, which reduces blood sugars, if blood sugar shot up quickly, the body works to bring it back into balance quickly.

Which, 13 hours later led to low blood sugar and wanting to eat something.

The reason you need to talk with a doctor is because none of us are going to adequately diagnose anything wrong (and it could be more than a potential for diabetes or being prediabetic.)

With your mention of your father that is a risk factor so it might be a good idea to check anyhow.

The dizziness is an indication of low blood sugars, by the way. Which a can of soda is a frequent form of first-care.

13+ hours is a long time to go without some kind of food intake (or drinks.), though, so you may want to take a look at your eating habits if it’s a regular occurrence and doctors don’t see anything alarming.

Trump threatens to use Insurrection Act to put down protests in Minneapolis

Jump

FuglyDuck @lemmy.world 2d ago

I was out at the snelling fed building protest.

One of the guys had an absolutely brutal comment.

The goon said something to the effect of “we will find where you live and meet you there.” As they’ve been doing this entire time.

Guy replied: “I’m staying at your mom’s house.”

The goon sputtered and was too angry to say anything… so Guy says “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t say things like that about your sister.”

Giraffe guy would have been proud!

Just for the kids in the back: the protests here have all been peaceful, with only a very small number of non-peaceful acts by not-ice.

And most of those have been proud boy motherfuckers from outside the state stirring shit.

Priming and sealing a painted print

Jump

FuglyDuck @lemmy.world 2d ago

So… if it’s something that’s going to set on a shelf or something like a wh figurine, you don’t need to prime with acrylic or enamel.

If it’s something that’s going the handled (like say, a cosplay prop,) your mileage will vary.

I’d recommend printing off small test parts to see how the paint cures and such. I use small shot-glass-size vase mode prints. (Any one the vases will work, but I suggest anything with more complex contours and a few hard edges.)

Then they get double use as a glue pot when I’m doing glueups with barges cement or similar adhesives (and painting too.)

If you find you do need primer… the stuff I’ve found to work best is rustoleum filler-primer. (Yes. The spray can.) you’ll lose surface details, since it’s designed to fill that in, but makes a wonderful foundation.
