Xanthrax

Some people don’t know their real birthday but still celebrate on a day of their choosing. I know an orphaned dreamer who does that.

I just remembered my username

If the battle of Normandy hadn’t happened, they would’ve done it. They tested it in Scotland on sheep, and it worked, but they couldn’t contain it. A sheep got blown off shore, spreading the disease. That’s not why they shut it down, though. They shut it down because the war was basically over.

"The testing of anthrax as an animal elimination method was done on Gruinard Island, just off the coast of Scotland.[7][1] The location was chosen because of its small size, only 520 total acres,[8] and its lack of inhabitants, along with there being a nearby military base at Loch Ewe that served as a staging area. Original tests on the effectiveness of anthrax were conducted on the island in 1940 and 1941 with the bacteria being included in a bomb, which was dropped on 60 sheep that had been shipped to the island. The bomb itself contained a thick slurry of concentrated anthrax spores and was dropped from a Vickers Wellington bomber. This test proved more effective than expected, with all the sheep dying in days, but also infecting a number of farm animals on the mainland months afterwards. It was determined later that one of the buried sheep carcasses had become unearthed due to a major storm and washed ashore. Other tests continued until 1943 when the risk of infecting nearby populations became too great and the island was quarantined from all boat and plane traffic.[9] Because of the widespread contamination from the anthrax spores, the land remained closed until 1990.[10]

Operation Vegetarian was ready for deployment by spring of 1944 and plans were drafted for the cakes to be dropped in the summer when German cattle would be grazing openly in the fields. In order to entice the cattle into eating the linseed cakes, they needed to be dropped after the spring grass had been consumed and the amount of food left was limited. The raid and airdrops needed to be done in a single action and as quickly as possible to prevent the German military discovering what was being dropped. Fildes estimated that a flight path through Oldenburg and Hanover could be achieved in 18 minutes and cover 60 miles of cattle grazing land. But by the time the summer arrived, the Normandy Invasion had occurred and Allied troops were advancing across northern Europe, causing Operation Vegetarian to be abandoned.[4]"

That’s what you think. That’s why they bought the chandelier

Knowing their oligarchs, they would pocket the money, buy a chandelier, act like nothing happened, and continue the war.

Edit: wtf was I trying to say?

Leave it to the Germans to name their weapon after what was used to kill the diety EVERYONE liked. (Balder)

“The primary role of the relatively untrained pilot was to aim the aircraft at its target bomber and fire its armament of rockets. The pilot and the fuselage containing the rocket engine would then land using separate parachutes, while the nose section was disposable.”

I was picturing something more like a Kamikaze.

“Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.” It plays into horror tropes using "found footage. "

Also, “Digging Up the Marrow.” It’s another found footage, but it’s down to earth (in storytelling, not plot) with AMAZING practical effects and an actor who is way too hilarious to fit his role. If you like adult swim you’ll recognize him.

We have a bot problem, but we also have admins/ mods that don’t want to bloat their numbers with bots (mostly). The fediverse helps us hold each other accountable, and if any community is full of bots, you defedirate them. I don’t mind the auto posters that seed content. I like the OSRS update bot, etc…

Askreddit was a scummy Karma farm already. This still sucks, though.

Web UI for touch screens is a lot different than keyboard and mouse. I still switch to desktop most of the time because the mobile site will lack critical info, though. They “have” to streamline the experience for mobile, but I hate it when they fully remove features.

Right side of the picture.

I zoomed in on the photoshopped tattoo on the right arm. Not only is the image the first one that pops up on Google when you search, “tribal wolf tattoo,” but MULTIPLE people have it as a real tattoo.

(Sorry for using terrible mobile screenshots)

I always focus too much on what they’re saying and the potential/ hypothetical situations they could encounter in the future. Like they’ll be trying to make one specific point, but with ADD, I’ll be overcomplicating everything. In the end, I’ll get emotionally overwhelmed and start focusing on something else. Meanwhile, the other person is wondering wtf just happened to our conversation.

Remember the time they learned a lesson about building regulations by killing every kid in the town, Final Destination style?

(It’s almost every other episode)

ADD

As someone with sciatica and bursitis, I’m going to take this advice while standing. I’ve heard the opposite lying down, but my problem is neurological/ inflammation. My rest postition is crossing my calf over the adjacent shin and then pulling both upwards towards my head. Let’s test it out! I’m queer though, so I’ll miss making homophones scared.
