Ukraine’s air defense has a new piece on the board. British Rapid Ranger fills the gap between mobile fire teams and heavy, low-mobility SAM systems — protecting areas traditional radar can’t cover. Light. Fast. Lethal. Already proven against Shaheds. Thank you, United Kingdom, for weapons that save lives.

Friday night outstanding @KingKingUK gig. You need to record and release the setlist from the accoustic tour, I could listen to that on a loop for the rest of my life! Cheers lads. Pete/Tan & Stu/Michelle

Didn’t take long to go from "Gods on our side" to "God is subservient to us".

With the exception of a great album. THERE IS NO DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Not sure why people are struggling with that.

At exactly what time does the 'Power Plant and Bridge day' commence? He’s cutting it fine to invent some more peace talks and extend his deadline for the umpteenth time?

Are you? 😆

This is probably as close to the original as I've heard. Phenomenal!😍🔥

I often think about the technical limitations that game designers of the 80s had to work with - both in terms of software and hardware. The game that stands at the very top is Elite. Think about this for a second: The core game code on the BBC Micro version occupied roughly 22 KB of memory. Now think about what Braben and Bell turned that into: a universe with eight galaxies, each containing 256 star systems (for a total of 2,048 planets/systems). Each system featured unique details: government type, economy, technology level, population, commodity prices, and even descriptive text (e.g., a planet known for "carnivorous arts graduates" or similar quirky combinations). If you still need a bit more help to contextualize that, try this: Elite was smaller than many modern text files or desktop icons, yet it contained (and let you freely explore) a multi-galaxy-spanning universe that felt vast and limitless. Oh, and by the way, the game also rendered 3D wireframe ships, stations, and planets in real time on a 2 MHz 6502 processor. This is no slight on today’s game designers. They work with what they have, and that's okay. But when you think about the worlds that some programmers created with the tools they were given, it sometimes breaks my brain trying to understand how they did it. Elite is a true masterpiece on so many levels. I played the C64 version back in the day, and even 40 years later it still feels like one of the most incredible programming wonders ever.
