It is a pretty good story; possibly the best moment in it, of course, is when the french built a new airstrip in their sector of Berlin. Winter was coming and that meant that an additional 6000 tons had to be flown in, so the airport was needed.
There was a problem, though. A nearby soviet-controlled radio tower was in the way of the approach to the airfield. The soviets, of course, wouldn't remove it, so General Jean Ganeval decided to, simply, blow it up.
When General Alexej Kotikow phoned him, in a rather poor mood, and asked him how the hell he could have done that, General Ganeval is to have answered "With dynamite, my dear colleague."

Samsung have decided that people secretly want tiny tablets though. To my mind it would have made sense to stop the S's getting larger when they released the Note. You don't want two product lines converging.

Holy shit. So I'm watching this documentary on the famous Pruitt-Igoe housing projects in St. Louis. They are a big deal in american 20th century history -- a big federal housing project that was supposed to be the hallmark of modernist urban planning that, because of white flight and a bunch of other issues, became the symbol of urban decay, federal ineptitude, and racial tension. The whole time I'm thinking how much it resonates with Robert Hood's new album about the plight of detroit (one of my fave albums of the year, btw, which you can listen to here for free). And at the end, an urban planning historian describes how the Pruitt-Igoe projects were the biggest symbol of the failure of America to adopt to the post-WWII landscape and how innercity blacks suffered because of it, and he described it as a "Slow-Motion Katrina."
"Slow-Motion Katrina" is the name of a track on Motor: Nighttime World 3, the new Hood Album.
I had no idea that there was an actual tangible connection between the two, and I'm pretty fucking floored right now, because I was watching it going "wow it would be so cool to make like a techno opera about the projects that results in a HUGE onslaught of digital and analog noise as the projects are demolished" and apparently Mr. Hood likewise thought the material was ripe for investigation.
the trick will be writing this without having obvious analogues to the NCR, Caesar's Legion, etc.
is this the fallout fanfic? are you trying to write that idea but not making it a fanfic, or what?

A friend is a fellow at one of the colleges here (read: silly academic position that only happens at Oxbridge and gives you a fuckload of weird perks), so she has access to some super special booze purchasing.
We were drinking super fancy 30 year old port that only cost her £20 a bottle because they can only increase their prices by inflation or something silly. It was nice. We resisted making Cheeky Vimtos using it.

Man how do you keep your phone and wallet in the same pocket. The bulge in my jeans, or even slacks, would be ghastly.
Well, in jeans I find even a full wallet is a huge bulge, so I just carry a card case and phone in jeans. In slacks, the pockets are deeper so I can carry a full wallet and phone without a noticeable bulge. I never put anything in my back pockets.
If you keep your wallet and phone in seperate pockets, then you are just choosing what your keys will scratch, IMO.
Wallets don't typically have glass screens. Or I am missing out on some exotic cash holding options.

I assume SKFM has spent far too much on his wallet, so that scratching it becomes a problem.

I keep my phone alone in my left pocket and then my cards are loose in my right pocket. I usually don't have cash.

Obviously I have to make compromises when I wear suit trousers.

I don't use a wallet, is how I do it. Only a little leather thing mostly suitable for cards (and a couple banknotes).
Daaaaaaang
