He can order it all he wants, but that doesn’t mean any branch of the military has to actually carry out an obviously illegal order. All it means is that he theoretically “can’t” get prosecuted for trying.
Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.

Why is this on my feed AGAIN???
Welcome to the wide, wonderful, and potentially very fragmented world of the Fediverse.
I’m also going to drop this link here…

…And then run away going “Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!” like Daffy Duck. You’re welcome.

Yes. I am proud (?) to say that in my US state I could legally carry a full size functional Master Sword, or any other sword, on my belt or strapped to my back provided I didn’t brandish it at anyone without due cause.
It would technically be illegal to conceal without a permit, though, which raises some interesting logistical questions.
You tend not to find 26 lane highways out in the middle of the bush?
There appears to be another line of text under it in your picture, although not enough of it is there to be legible. I’m sure it has other content as well – more text, logos, a photo, whatever.
It appears to be some kind of a rolled up banner, and it probably has a mechanism to remotely release it so it’ll unroll.
Hopefully in the process it’ll turn out to be short enough not to hit anyone on the head in the process.
The other thing is, both towers were plane impact resistant. Both of them took dead square hits from airliners and remained resolutely standing afterwards. What it turned out they were not proof against was an ongoing raging inferno inside that was hot enough and carried on long enough to weaken their critical structural elements.
If the planes had not been laden with fuel and/or if it had not ignited for whatever reason, the towers probably would not have collapsed. They probably wouldn’t have been readily repairable, though, so then the question would be what to do with two massive skyscrapers with giant holes in the middle of them. They’d probably have to be demolished eventually anyway. Said demolition would have killed far fewer people.
Agreed. And Kefka was way cooler anyway.
(I firmly believe most people gush over FF7 so much only because it was their first exposure to a mainstream console RPG in non-Japanese circles. FF7 as a whole was a fairly meh entry into the series anyway, if you ask me.)
Not only did Kefka have real style, twisted though it may be, he also for all intents and purposes actually managed to win. He fractured the world, scattered the heroes, built his goddamned tower, and was lording it all over everybody with a penthouse view. He didn’t have angst; he was just nuts. It was frankly a complete fluke that he got the shit whacked out of him by a little girl with a paintbrush, a 8x per round attacking Moogle with Genji gloves, a senior citizen, and a mime.
The Doctor.
We get it. You wish a dashing eccentric gentleman with an English accent will appear out of the blue and whisk you away from your situation to a life of adventure. But it’s not going to happen, sweetheart.
“Homeopathic” does not mean organic, or good for you, or inherently safe to consume.
It is, in fact, a code word for no active ingredient.
The Legend of Zelda… & Knuckles. I like it.
You just need one water bucket.
Glunk. Tss, tss, tss, tss, tss.
You bought a diamond pickaxe too, right?
It’s clearly Hyrule, though. Similar art style, but new map. Death Mountain is shown towards the end of the trailer.
The Link’s Awakening remake got released at full price, so there is a 0% chance this will be a budget title even though it probably in reality should be.
Ah, I see. So it’s cool when we do it (fossil fuel and ag subsidies, the auto industry bailout in 2008, etc.) but not when they do it.
Got it.

I think the word they’re looking for is in fact “outcompeting.”
Yutaro-Katori-with-butterfly-meme: Is this capitalism?
Sure, but they’ll have to fight me and I’m the one holding the sword.
