Hey Elite Dangerous players, is there a problem transferring cargo from fleet carrier to ship at the moment?

Playing with the new Type-11 in Elite I’m now convinced of one thing: planetary rings need to be worked on to include a few HUGE rocks. Everything’s all a bit samey.

This is absolutely the last time I call an escort service and say “I’m not picky.”

Would you be at all interested in a series of YouTube/PeerTube videos which purport to teach Commodore 64 Ultimate programming in assembly language, starting from assuming no knowledge of programming of any kind?

As any military strategist knows, port cities are always particularly vulnerable to amphibian assault.

Well played, sir.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.

Gods, *please* let them award it to the Portland Frog next year!

WHERE’S MY AWARD

The original cartoon was just the lower two panels but I tweaked it. Wish I knew who the original artist was so I could credit them.

Four panel cartoon. The first three panels are identical - a man uncontrollably laughing. The final panel is the man saying ‘no’

I look forward to Trump’s gracious acceptance of María Corina Machado winning the award.

By which I mean the epically childish shitfit he’ll undoubtedly throw as his fragile ego is bruised.

One day soon, I hope.

CMDR GreyAreaUK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @greyareauk.bsky.social · 1d

And it’s been awarded to María Corina Machado.

Trump tantrum in 5…4…3…

If he *does* stroke out, next year they can award the prize to the blood clot.

Genuinely wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he’s not seen in public for several days after he doesn’t get it.

On the other hand, the absolute tantrum he’s going to throw when it isn’t him could be hilarious in all sorts of ways.

CMDR GreyAreaUK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @greyareauk.bsky.social · 2d

He’ll use Insurrection Act first. His language indicates he‘s seeding the idea by calling protests in Portland ‘insurrection’.

I can’t claim credit here - I saw another post of this video in which someone else claimed the ‘impact’ came from the white hat. The more I watched the more I agreed.

My problem is that once I start questioning stuff, I can’t stop. I’m now not 100% sure the people on the roof are ICE. What if the entire thing was staged? It would mean everyone in the video was in on it, or enough of them. Not enough people react. They knew what was going to happen.

CMDR GreyAreaUK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @greyareauk.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t think it’s AI, but I *do* think it’s staged.

And if it is then I wish people wouldn’t do this. There are *plenty* of legitimate reasons to hate ICE.
