Phoenix Hawk IIC - A Clan Steel Viper Scientist bumped into an elemental one day, and the file folders for the Phoenix Hawk IIC, Matador, and Ristar Battlemechs got mixed up. The Mech Intended to be the Phoenix Hawk IIC was never developed and instead we got this 80 ton monstrosity. (True Story)

If you want a Latin one you can't go wrong with "oblectandi modo causa" (just for fun).

Alternatively "animi causa" (for kicks) or "animi causa tantum" (just for kicks)

Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13.

Really @discord.com? I can respect that you want to protect minors, but scanning IDs or facial scans with having multiple known data breaches and unsafe practices is pretty terrible. With the same found to lies used before too. discord.com/press-releas...

As I told Nelly, I can't make the logistics to see you all from Ottawa. Have fun though!

I really need to figure out what keeps triggering these chronic headaches and migraines. I know that my bad back causes some of them, just not all. That and a better way of dealing with them that doesn't seem to make them worse.

Though Loki seems not to care at all.

The poster's grey cat (of the Russian Blue breed) lays comfortably on the poster's lap. The cat's tongue is a little bit out showing how much he likes the action

Mylo isn't a lap cat, and never sought comfort from me. In years past I couldn't even feed him due to his very strong bond with "Mother" and me being only the "spare". However due to his teeth/month issues getting worse, and us giving vet approved meds, it results in him doing this at rare times.

I thought to redo my interview as it just seems I'm rambling on tangents. But as someone else pointed out it's definitely my talking style, and it's not *too* overwhelming this time. It doesn't help that I did a lot of very scattered work, more than the other interviewees who have firmer focuses.

Right Province, wrong city. Of course I fully understand that coming to Ottawa is not worth while at all, but I still hold out hope you can steal me back to Victoria.

The picture shows 3 "BattleTech Mugs (featuring the Kell Hounds, 40th anniversary, and the Draconis Combine logos respectively), "Operation Reunification - World Tour 2024" patch and the Precentor Martial Edition of the BattleTech Universe sourcebook box.

#battletech presents for #xmas to my family from @jparbiter.bsky.social and his family.

The box for the "Precentor Martial" Edition of the "BattleTech Universe" sourcebook really is heavy and the Mugs seem to be of fairly decent quality.

Aye, they opened at Esquimalt & Admirals, but then moved downtown, closing there.
I believe the story is that Kentaro? got a job there when it opened and started selling his own collection alongside the store in addition to getting the owner to see how much traffic came in because of it.

Recently found in basement storage boxes and from early 2015 in Victoria, I miss those simple days and having enough free time to basically go to all these MtG events, and various other events at Yellowjacket. (That first episode of Friday Nights S9 by @loadingreadyrun.com really hit the feels)

I've had to sell out of all my hobbies at least twice before, it's always rough to look back on it, but exactly what you have already experienced it is always done for a reason and never a whim to give up things you love.

There will be no notes made, you know this :P

My Doctor's office charges me to get the doc to respond to the refill request, and due to how long it takes to get an appointment, the reason for the refill is that they didn't provide enough from the last appointment...
