Showing up naked is always a good way to get a party started.

You know that nuclear power plant up the road? They just had a big accident, we don’t know exactly what’s going on, and at least one person is already dead from radiation. But it’s fine, and you shouldn’t worry or leave the area.

“No evacuation.” Have you ever actually talked to people?

So we agree, airships and nukes are both outmoded, old tech.

So, essentially, nuclear power is like airships, except with worse disasters?

Probably the crooks just grabbed up everything they could. That means the stuff people have been keeping around that they never had time to repair.

thanks

Let me put it this way…

At one point, I was imagining the author giggling madly at 3 am as she calculated how much rattan you’d need to support a cannon on an airship’s gundeck.

Enjoy

I’m gonna hijack to put in a plug for “The Guns Above” by Robin Bennis.

It’s airships in the Napoleonic Era with great engineering details and battle scenes. I don’t know why they stopped at two books, but the first one is a lot of fun.

Your use of the word ‘obtuse’ fascinates me.

Just for my own reference; which part do you read as ‘banning the internet’?

Socialization is a slow process. Many people who have good families and rich environments still have problems learning how to have face to face conversations. Look how many people on this site talk about not wanting to have a conversation over the phone or talk to a stranger in a shop.

That’s my original comment. Never said anything about banning the internet.

the answer is practice,

There are only so many hours in the day. If a child spends eight hours a day glued to the phone, they aren’t going to learn social skills.

“A Fatal Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.” Murder in Ancient Rome, because why not?

Ever read Judge Dredd comics? In one old one the Judges have the right to just walk into any citizen’s apartment and do a random search. Because there are so many laws, they always find something that’s illegal. One day the find a citizen with nothing contraband in their apartment. The rookie Judge wants to give the citizen a medal for being so upright, but Dredd triples the surveillance because only a really heinous monster would bother to keep their place so clean. [Of course, because it’s a comic, Dredd is right and the citizen is a Sov-City spy.]

Watch a typical police show from 1990s and today. The modern cops routinely talk about how they have closed circuit footage of the suspect on pretty much any street.

On one hand, I agree that little boys roughhousing is probably a good thing. On the other, most of the people who admire combat seem to be the ones who are afraid to actually walk the streets after dark.

Apple Fanboy = Ha! Ha! Look at the silly old people who can’t keep up with new technology! Adapt or die!

Apple Fanboy after ‘end call’ is moved…
