@cerebrate Wait, you can run VMS on a microcontroller now? Technology is amazing.

@cerebrate "Oh, this is a coded question about nullification, isn't it? Sure, my conscience would object to helping enforce an unjust law, but surely a fine upstanding State like you wouldn't have passed any of those, _right_?" *pointed look*

@cerebrate Okay. I guess I don't quite speak fluent uspol, which is probably lucky of me on the whole. (And on reflection I may be conflating "rugged" with "resourceful"; I'm not too sure where the line is drawn.)

@cerebrate I guess I'm thinking of stuff like _Darkness_Within_. Certainly the modal Imperial sitting pretty in the middle of the CEZ surrounded by wonderful sophs and shiny everything should never be faced with a situation like that. But from my read of the Imperial psyche I'd've thought it'd be important to them to be able to honestly believe they _could_ handle it. Is that not what you mean by "ruggedness"?

@cerebrate A superior libertarian is one who uses his superior moral philosophy to avoid situations requiring the exercise of his superior ruggidity?

@wolfyseyes One of the nice things about IRC is that, it being ephemeral, people aren't tempted to make it stand in for a forum, wiki, or (whisper it) actual fucking documentation.

@cerebrate Had to make this…

@cerebrate That's nothing new. You know about Peterloo, right?

@cerebrate In any case he can, canonically, buttle with the best of them.

@cerebrate regarding https://eldraeverse.com/2019/04/04/heavy-cavalry-redux/ , which I happened to be re-reading today:

> “Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!”
> no-one with a tank, ever

Only because no-one was ever incautious enough to give Jack Churchill a tank.

@cerebrate Mauled By Lions Book

@cerebrate That depends. Is the server in Crete?

@cerebrate This would make a good Mark Perry Venn diagram.

@cinebox Also, beware of Greeks bearing kebab-meat.

@cerebrate If they haven't read the manual they shouldn't even be able to figure out how to quit.

@cerebrate "...buried in soft peat for six months and recycled as firelighters".

("Wait. The form, or the applicant?")

@cerebrate Btw, did you really think we wouldn't notice that you named the two parts of your grammatical construction the "car" and "cdr"?
