    It seems like an insane situation to have had to deal with and nobody needs to go through any of it.

    One thing I gotta give credit to Space-X is that now if I break something or blow something by mistake, I can use their ultimate oops description “rapid unscheduled disassembly”. It’s their ultimate accomplishment to humanity. Dropped a fancy plate on the ground, I didn’t break it. It was a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” I didn’t accidentally break the window. It was a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”. I didn’t total the car. It was a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”. I didn’t accidentally kill the neighbor in a drunken fight and dismember the body to make it easier to dispose of the evidence. He had a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”. That line works for every situation, kinda like a new version of the Mentos commercials

    I had just seen a thing about this earlier. The details sound extreme. Definitely a hate crime. Such a horrible set of incidents and taken away just before the new season was about to air. His lines were already recorded, but it’s gonna be tough to watch and hear his voice after all this

    Those are pretty tough to find in not so beat up condition these days. Great cover art there for sure. I know a few big frazetta fans that have posters of that same cover.

    Nice

    It’s Macross, not The Boys😁

    Anything other than just a repaint. There’s still a couple destroids, the scout regult and the power armors from the show, not to mention the movie versions as well

    At least the crew survived

    I’ve seen Waymo’s cars getting stuck just going around in parking lots, so they tend to get confused even with the onboard hardware. I’d imagine that having everything off the vehicle might even be worse, but I’m nowhere near being an expert in these. But it was a hilarious video on YouTube with the guy trying to get to an airport and the car kept driving him in circles through a random lot while he was in the back trying to call tech support for help.

    Maybe not too far, but it’s one of those things where the practice isn’t there. That may change though, but normally if we need the firepower of a manned aircraft, then we’d send a manned aircraft. With certain conflicts in other areas, it may be more practical to send an aircraft with other aircraft as escort, but the more things change, then it may end up with more complex dogfighting that might benefit from a launched drone to help out. But I still think that’s not something we’d see with the types of conflicts we’re seeing at the moment

    I think I just used a little pin vice hand drill and the smallest bit. Then just used some thin wire from bread wrap twit ties. The colors are actually fine, usually just the grey that’s already required, but the polycaps can be a bit shiny and any weathering can easily rub off along with top coats. I’ve seen some people having a bit of luck with vinyl paints and plastidip, but others that tried the same stuff without much luck

    There are already a lot of experiments with controlling aircraft without using arm and leg movements. Mostly eyes and temple attachments, but brainwave control might not be too far off either since they’re also doing experiments with brain chips, oddly a lot in paralysis treatment. Controlling simple functions like flaps and such might actually be easier than the stuff trying to get the upper spine to control lower leg nerves. as far as variable shape materials, they do exist, but I think it’s a long way from doing something as complex as the wings on the YF-21. But I will say that things are further along than I thought they’d be a couple decades ago. I just really haven’t seen many practical uses for these materials due to issues with durability and trying to get the materials to do more complex movements. Most at the moment are memory type materials that usually just flex from one shape back to the original form.

    Probably for looks. It actually looks better than their usual double jointed elbows. It will limit the elbow bend just a bit, but not enough to really bug me since there wouldn’t be many poses he needs with his arm bent that far.

    She was in a few shows and some movies, but I really remember her as Hot Lips. Like a lot of folks from my age, used to watch the show and watched many reruns of it since it had been syndicated and would the show would be on all the time. The movie that the show was based on is really awesome, but I think the show sticks in my memory due to repeated watching.

    Pretty cool addition there

    Those wave Ma.K kits go together fairly easily, even though they have seams here and there. I just wish they could’ve upgraded the joints by now to not be exposed polycaps. Those things really don’t like paint. Also make sure to have some thin wire and a small drill bit for the backs of the feet for those details there

    That’s a bright camo. Looks cool.

    It only took a few years to go from a computer the size of a room to be outshined by a personal computer and for that to be outshined by the smartphone. Depending on the necessity, technology moves fairly quickly and world conflicts supported by super powers tend to move technology faster than most catalysts

    So I guess they’re trying to cover all the leftover major holidays with a thanksgiving part, the Christmas and finally New Year’s

    I don’t think it’s too far out. Some dude tried to marry a stupid hatsuna miku, and it really didn’t have an ai. AI as it stands is a long way from something that could run a military op, but we do have self driving vehicles and a lot of the tech is coming along fairly quickly. Might only be a few decades before an AI is flying a drone and able to pick targets on its own, maybe less. We already have pre programmed drones doing wild things at concerts. Might not be too far out for combat with all the conflicts popping up.

    I’m definitely checking this one out. I love Del Toro movies.

    That’s only thirty something, so I’ll give you a runner up price of a 👍

    40 something year old acrylics might be really tough to bring back, if not impossible. not saying it wouldn’t be entertaining to see someone try though. And I’d definitely try my best to give that person that successfully does it a high five somehow

    I get that, but it was an already finished ova not a designed for tv series and they weren’t planning on adding to it, at least not as more of Char’s adventure or whatever.

    I’m not saying at all that it’s a good idea, but it’s a very Star Wars thing that some cartoon or comic book or lesser show writers could easily try and might actually do.
