There once was a farmer named Shields
With huge agricultural yield
A great man they say
And he shows every day
He's really outstanding in his field!

Back to an old theme - Dems have used up all of their ammunition, they've kept nothing in reserve. Now, we're finally getting into the full Re Election campaign, and all dems have is old slurs dug out of 2 year old newspapers, which no one ever cared about in the first place.
(Btw, the biggest Delay in Puerto Rico aid was caused by the local officials hiding warehouses full of supplies so they could resell them later for profit)

Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at February 11, 2020 10:02 AM (Boy/L)
We should revisit the battleship concept with railguns. 2 mounts forward, one mount rear, enough armor to stay afloat after repeated hits from its own weaponry, enough surface to air missiles to make pilots shit themselves at the prospect of attacking it, and our new (in-testing) laser anti-missile / anti-drone system.
Like the original, you could park it on a patch of sea and simply shut down any traffic you didn't want - only the longer range makes that a hundred mile radius. As part of a carrier battle group, air attack becomes an even worse idea.
As a shore bombardment platform, we'll save a fortune on cruise missiles.

Our faces, probably more than anything else, are the outward images of our individuality. Hands are a close second. When an artist hides the face or omits it all-together, the implication is usually that the artist feels the figure has been robbed of his/her humanity, or is supposed to represent the every-man, OR that the figure is no longer human at all, but a robot going about its programmed tasks. It depends on the context of the work.
Here, the face is half hidden. The lower face is in great detail but the top half, where the eyes would be, is in deep shadow. This was most likely painted en plein aire, so the shadows are probably accurate. I need to think about it some.

Go further. Enough ECM to make flyers miserable. Laser point-defense for missiles, drones, etc. Whole damn thing will be nuke powered, natch, but once you go railgun that's a given.
Add some cruise missile capabilities and you've got an impressive weapons platform that can cover several missions, so long as those missions all involve destroying things.

Go further. Enough ECM to make flyers miserable. Laser point-defense for
missiles, drones, etc. Whole damn thing will be nuke powered, natch,
but once you go railgun that's a given.
Add some cruise missile capabilities and you've got an impressive
weapons platform that can cover several missions, so long as those
missions all involve destroying things.
Posted by: Brother Cavil Tim at February 11, 2020 10:15 AM (OUMaO)
I did actually mention the laser anti-missile/drone defense.
Figured the nukes were obvious - anything with more than one rail gun
and lasers on top is going to need some serious power. ECM's definitely
a good idea too.

259 He weighed in, and was quite put out with the state of affairs here. Complaining that all the old guard commenters had been run off, and that CBD, and other COB's were killing the vibe.
As best I recall, as I was not in ONTs as much back then, he accused someone else in here of doxxing him and then -- multiple times, perhaps -- volleys of charges and countercharges were fired, truces were declared, times spent in time outs were imposed, and then the cycle renewed itself. Whether he left via self-banning or an actual ban never was clear to me.

Contrary to your thesis, CBD demands that readers pay homage to conventional visual artists of the past. The shortened comment periods are designed to capture just the right amount of bowing and scraping. The entire premise of CBD's posts is, "here is a thing of beauty that I, an enlightened one, have found to bless your sordid existence."
You say "Being Ace, the commentators don't hold back." - but 60% of the commenters from Ace's Golden Age are gone, run-off by CBD and his friends. They don't hold back because they're gone.

Slightly OT -- If you actually see light flashes around your field of vision, particularly at night and confined to one eye, see an eye doctor as soon as possible. Something, usually a "floater" in the eye's vitreous humor, may be impinging upon its retina. It happened to me once while walking our dog after dark and it was freakish.

I have always wondered how paintings like this were constructed..
Clearly, the painter could not ask this man to stand there and pose all day while he painted him.
So, does the painter make a quick sketch?
the difficult part about a quick sketch is scribbling in the numbers where the various colors go.
