    That was the point. In the books, the bugs had been flinging rocks towards the outer colonies for years, but the attack on Buenos Aires is heavily implied to be an inside job to rally support for an invasion, since they did not have hyperspace tech and no attack had reached the inner worlds, let alone Earth.

    My favorite thing is to have them define “woke.” When they can’t because it’s only a buzzword to them, I explain it means “waking up” to the idea that you’re not the only human being with a purpose-filled life, that there are others for whom the system is built to deal a bad hand, and that the most ironic part is that 9 times out of 10 the individual I’m speaking to is not on the list of the “system’s chosen.”





  • Furries are a community off-shoot of the broader sci-fi fandom that started in the 1970’s, characterized by a fondness for anthropomorphic reprisentation in media. It expanded from it’s sci fi roots into fantasy, alt-historical fiction, slice of life, and yes, porn, because nerds are horny.

    Furries is also the term for the characters that are created by the members of the community, and also has been used to describe other characters in other media, but it’s worth noting that not all of these come from furries (the people), though by now nearly all do. The lead character artists for Zootopia and Sing are out furries, for example. And Vivziepop and the Lackadaisy team certainly are furries.





  • If you’re remote-accessing these resources and can’t always be home to manage the cutover to cellular, I recommend splurging on a Unifi Dream Machine and LTE Backup module. Getting a verizon gateway or similar device won’t properly communicate with your network and has to use it’s own judgement through traffic monitoring to know when to take over DHCP/routing. We (local MSP) just resolved an issue where these devices couldn’t tell between an ISP blip or an outage and so it would wrestle DHCP from the firewall when they still had internet, killing their wireless printers. Unifi LTE communicates with the UDM over a very verbose and reliable protocol. The LTE doesn’t kick on until the FW realizes there’s a problem on the primary WAN.
