'Night All!
G'night!
You took me seriesly! :) But OK--
I view the Star Destroyer as having the mass and maneuver characteristics of a Borg Cube, and therefore the dynamic of the battle would resemble that between the Cube and several starships including Enterprise at the beginning of "First Contact". The large number of turret-mounted particle-beam weapon on the SD might provide an initial advantage, but if the shields could be disabled (by destroying the exposed shield generator) the turrets could be shot off.
If Easy Company were dug in on Balaclava Heights, the battle would have gone no better for the Light Brigade, IMHO. The rapid-fire, highly accurate weapons of the WW2 era would have made up for the smaller force.
I agree with you re the Romans and Greeks.
As for the sea battle, what would you make of the advantage in speed and maneuver provided by the steam engines? Would Captain Aubrey's "weather gage" be rendered irrelevant? Were any Spanish guns of 1588 capable of penetrating either the armor or the water (if aiming below the waterline)? I don't know.
See y'all Friday...unless I find a cyber-cafe or sumpin'*
*Not likely, as we plan to stay in woods and trails
He just started so this is his first belt test.
Ting Ting Tingler Motorized Head and Scalp Massager gently stimulates millions of nerve endings on the scalp, as well as acupressure points that create a feeling of pleasant giggly goose-bumpy sensation. It is also great for other joints in your body where it will stimulate blood flow to ease pain and create relaxation. Ting Ting Tingler Head Massager (Biju BJ3000) is an octopus-shaped motorized head massager made mainly with pure copper.
The bugs finnaly chased me out of the garden but I brought another nice harvest of carrots with me.
I wish I had the time to go back into the archives and find the date when this project was first announed.
I'm sure our resident archivist could find it!
Good morning.... I am taking some of the feedback emails with us that talk about where the knives are, and there is a good cross-section.
Morning ALL:
Hair; have a great "moot" with JR. I'm sure he'll appreciate your HH knife.
300 WM: No Coasties?
OT: Kinda looks like a 'soup day' out there, but it's supposed to warm up.
Good morning! Represent the Hobbit Hole well today!
Getting ready for church here. It's seriously weird not to have to leave an hour before the service.
First knife picture is here. Testing the engraving, here. First successful engraving, here. The first batch of knives are ready here. Project nearly "done" here.
Found lots of "chatter" by various folks in between those posts, but those were the milestones I think!
Well..."soupy" is great for curling up with a good book (and a cat.) And there's a race today.
I just read that. I'm amazed, now, that I thought those 20 knives were the start and finish of the project.
But maybe that was a good thing. If I knew then that exactly one year later we'd be at 300 knives and counting, I'd never have taken that first step. Maybe that's how God encourages faint hearts, by not letting us see too far down the road.
Nah, these are just open mic gigs, and they're good exposure. Better bands than we are play for 'em, just as a way of expanding their fan base. But it's true we also don't want to get a name as a band that'll play anywhere for free. That's a dangerous reputation!
Ugh...here it is noon, I've been up for hours, and I'm still not awake. Drinking coffee in hopes of remedying that, but I'm just NOT with it today.
Well allrighty, then...
I have no idea what the heck that is! Not sure if it's good or bad...
Just saw your post listed under news and activism...strange.
FR isn't awake, either, maybe? That is odd!
