👍“Vi skal finde ud af, hvordan vi igen gør det populært at fokusere på kerneopgaven. Tale om kerneopgaven, finde hjem til den og holde fast i den, når verden river og flår i os. Nogen skal »bare« slukke ildebrande, lære børn dansk og matematik, stå vagt ved Estlands grænse, gøre syge raske eller udstede en byggetilladelse til en carport. Det er virkeligheden, der tæller.”

@jarvis I was giving some thought to replacing them with some of the creatures I've written up on my blog.

Then I thought about compiling a bestiary of all the monsters that will go in my #dungeon23...

Hmm....

The Pentagon Wars is a great movie. It's funny and it high-lights the Bradley's development quite well. Pentagon Wars was a pre-Global War on Terror movie, as was the vehicle in question.

The Bradley is still undergoing "capability enhancements" and the vehicle is so heavy, the tracks needed to be replaced. Previously Bradley used single-pin tracks. Each track shoe was linked to another track shoe using a single, long "pin."

Bradley now uses double-pin tracks, like Abrams tanks. #MissionCreep

@keram

Reminds me of 'The Disneyfication of West 42nd Street' in NYC

They're only doing this so that the company can be sold to groups of 'wholesome investors who are strong on family values'

@enmodo Except that now you have established institutions with institutional and historical weight behind very expansive notions of what atheism can and should mean. And it's really REALLY exciting. #MissionCreep discussions, while they may not be entirely behind us, are recognizably not where the future actually lies.

So I knocked up a quick #PERL script to do something simple a couple of week's back. But then I had to use it today and found I needed to have a bit more info, and to fix an error in the equation. So now I have a script that will take in a Julian Day, a Modified Julian Day, a date string or a date string and a time, determine what it's got, and output the #VLA LSTday and Local Sidereal Time (#LST), the Pie Town LST and the Greenwich Sidereal Time (#GST).

⚠️ Government #MissionCreep: Using #COVID as a pretext for national digital ID, #surveillance and #socialcredit system - a #REALID Act on steroid? After all the vaccination level is reaching herd immunity and COVID is slowly peaking, so why still the push? No crisis is ever wasted, indeed.

This is the kind of #missioncreep the governments are aiming for under the guise of public health amidst COVID-19. What's next? Catch undocumented immigrants? Check for outstanding warrants? Find deadbeat parents? Who knows. #coronaphobia #coronafascism #policestate #surveillance
