Given the wealth of apparently extremely obscure pop culture knowledge the lot of us possess, I'm kinda surprised PN doesn't have Wikipedia opened in another tab by default every time he enters this strange and confusing place.

Something to keep you occupied in the empty hours, so to speak. It's why I picked up painting miniatures again. Let's see if I manage to create a proper BattleMech battalion, it's going to take a bit of work.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
