Professional nerd. I pick up programming languages like collecting pokemon, and then abandon them once they get crusty and old, just like your first Ratata.

To be fair, Elon Musk going to Mars would definitely help save humanity here on Earth.

Plenty of others that could go with him and let our planet recover.

I would say that Trump is about to find out why "speak softly and carry a big stick" is a thing but "cry until you get your way" is not, but who are we kidding? Trump never learns.

Nuno, you do some good work. I've dug through your code a few times and found it inspiring in its simplistic beauty.

Nah, Ron. You forgot the key rule: it doesn't count when Trump does it. Whatever he does is very cool and very legal. When a Democrat does it, though, it's a very serious problem.

Definitely not a cult.

Do they think undermining means "to follow the constitution"?

These dingbats claim to love the constitution so much, yet have never read or understood it. The founding fathers were pretty clear on the purpose of multiple branches of government: to NOT consolidate power to one person.

A fishtank full of what appears to be spaghetti. There is a light above the tank but everything else is dark. It has an eerie, but calm feel

Black and white photograph of the aftermath of the Halifax explosion.
Photo is from just over 1km away from the explosion site at Turtle Grove. On the left, a dirt embankment with a railroad track. To the right, the harbor; some small tugboats can be seen next to the shore. Low-hanging smoke covers the background.

People can be seen in the background amongst the wreckage.

More Old-Timey Halifax

Nearly 106 years ago, the largest non-nuclear explosion in history happened in our harbour when the SS Mont-Blanc collided with the SS Imo, which was heavily loaded with explosives, munitions, and flammable materials.

The resulting explosion devastated Halifax.

Dec 6, 1917

We took Bub on a hike to Starved Rock State Park, Illinois, USA.

He loved it!

A small lake with a mirror-like surface. In the foreground, some bare trees can be found. In the background, brown grasses and a forest of bare trees. The deep brown colors suggest a late Autumn.

Pictured below: The Hindenburg over Halifax Citadel, 1936. It is assumed, but not confirmed, German spies were onboard taking pictures of the harbor and shipyard as potential targets.

I have no other info about this picture. Any history nerds here?

I agree, but the question then becomes who will take action? Those we have entrusted to be the leaders have failed us.

I've been collecting Old-Timey Halifax NS pictures. Pictured below: undertakers preparing for the arrival of victims from the Titanic disaster.

Please share any of your finds!

I always liked the spears. Alchemy is super cool, but it's annoying to collect the ingredients to be able to even use them in order to level up.

Cool systems though!

Yep, I love the game but you're not wrong 😌. Also, the mazes can be a bit... Flat.

This is Bub. He likes to go on adventures, and he's my best friend in the world!

You'll be seeing more of him. Sorry in advance.

Maybe give Secret of Evermore a try? Definitely a flawed game to be sure, but also beautiful and features time travel.

It was the first game Jeremy Soule composed (later worked on Icewind Dale, Guild Wars, Harry Potter and Elder Scrolls series, among others).
