Obviously the best way to break it is to make a puffer or glider gun or similar, but good luck with that.

I created two of the Acorn pattern on my board, but the game advances so slowly it's hard to tell if they're having any effect yet. Or if any of the other colors are actively playing at all.

Myself and the rest of my ROV team at the college are now affiliated with the Marine Archaeological Society, and they have a super neat project I'm legally required not to explain in detail for us to help with. This is pretty great.

[TheBiggerFish]

Any project with NDAs must be pretty cool.

[wobbly]

Does it involve secretly uncovered cthullu artifacts, I hope so.

Insert Sabaton.
When flies burn, the flynal solution.

I like how these guys go "You know what would make a kickass power metal song? History. Particualarily, Holocaust. Yeah, let's make that one happen."

already been done by Slayer, cannot be surpassed.
This one's about Joseph Mengele, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6_zsJ8KPP0

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your lifes worth
Human mice, for the angel of death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the aryan race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants hes creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid angel of death
Flying free


angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of death

Angel of death

Except, y'know, that it's Slayer. I'm probably jostling some cultural elbows here, but Slayer is pretty much the epitome of boring, generic metal as far as I'm concerned.

I could do the transormation from peaceful metal hippy to raging ranting MUHDONTBASHSLAYERDEYMADEMETALBEFOREYOUWEREBORN mode, but that'd be too generic and boring.
To each their own musical taste, I guess. Diversity = love 

[Shook]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Speaking of music, my delicious mettul package arrived today, two days after shipping. I wasn't expecting it before tomorrow, so hey, pleasant surprises. :v

Today is my birthday and I went to the zoo and saw penguins, fossa, meercats and giraffes up close.

[RedKing]

That's odd, we have a zoo not far from here that has pengins, fossa and meerkats. No giraffe though. Just seems like an odd mix of animals to have.

Also, they have the fossa pen next to the lemur pen, which is downright evil. (Fossas subsist primarily on lemurs in the wild.)

[Eric Blank]

They just want them to learn to get along.

Yes, same here! All in the same section. The (male) fossa seemed mostly interested in pacing about looking at the female fossa in the other enclosure.

Snow days are happy days, once the shovelling is done.

[Arx]

While we're on the topic, my family's booked a trip to the Kruger Park for a few months' time. It'll be great, we haven't been in years. I'll get to brush up my spoor recognition!

I love riots. Proper ones, ones that are on the brink of civil war but haven't yet reached them. I love them because they're the only time ancient military manuals really shine. Carthaginian fortified steamrollers, antifa skirmishers, skinhead shocktroopers, rooftop suppressors, masses of Boudicaa's rabble bearing down on cornered Legionnaires, and just when you think it's over they deploy the police medic giants to the thundering hooves of police horses. Or I suppose you could just go the American route and deploy search, rescue and destroy battle tanks, but that's not as awesome

Also one thing I have realized in life is that if you are trying to charge anyone with a riot shield, riot shield wins. Best case scenario is you pull yourself up their shield and hit their head, but they've got helmets and supporting buddies so you pretty much get rekt or get rekt until it elevates to a civil war. There will never be friendly riot competitions between riot police departments across the world :(
