Things Eldrae Might Appreciate

There is a reason Attaturk told the Aussies to weep not, for their children were now the children of the Turks and would be given such rest as they deserved.

The Nekojita FuFu. That is all.

So kawaii!

Having been enjoying Controlled Pod Into Terrain recently, I have come to the conclusion that they might have some good things to say about the BAC 1-11, simply because it is so overbuilt.

(Much like everything that’s produced at home, the Empire having heard of concepts like planned obsolescence and value engineering and decided that those sounded like synonyms for “doing crappy work”.)

I mean, it’s kind of a chibi aircraft, but it might make a nice private jet, or a transport for a couple of dozen passengers.

Adam Savage gets shown an incredible suit of armour, made in the modern era but to ancient styles, and even gets a chance to wear half of it after he and the owner geek out for a while.

I know full armour isn’t really a Court of Courts thing, but something of this style definitely seems like it would suit. (While pretty, this is also practical “can go fight or joust in” functional armour.)
