Star Wars Black Series The Ronin & R5-D56 in stock again

at Amazon (from the Star Wars Visions cartoon). There's a statuette, too.

New Humble Bundle featuring survivalist books

The $1 bundle includes, "Unsinkable: How to Build Plywood Ponttons and Longtail Boat Motors Out of Scrap" and "Axe Hacks for Making Shacks."

Related, 404 Media recently looked at PrepperDisk:
a mini internet box that comes preloaded with offline backups of Wikipedia, street maps, survivalist information, 90,000 WikiHow guides, iFixit repair guides, government website backups (including FEMA guides and National Institutes of Health backups), TED Talks about farming and survivalism, 60,000 ebooks and various other content. It’s part external hard drive, part local hotspot antenna—the box runs on a Raspberry Pi that allows up to 20 devices to connect to it over wifi or wired connections, and can store and run additional content that users store on it.  

"At smoke shops, one finds the least legal legal things, the most legal illegal things, and the illegal things most likely to be legalized in the next five years"

Instructions.


Also, a good interview with Tony Gilroy:
You had to make some Covid-related concessions in season one, many of which worked out for the best, such as thousands of Aldhani people (the Dhanis) being rewritten into a few “dead-enders.”
.... 
I wish we’d come out in August or September, but everybody has been sitting on their hands for so long. There are so many actors in the show, and some of our amazing actors don’t have agents. So some people aren’t working, and they’ve been waiting for stuff to come out.
...
Elizabeth Dulau’s Kleya, who’s Luthen’s (Stellan Skarsgård) right hand, received the biggest promotion in season two, and she really makes the most of the opportunity. Did you see something in her during season one that warranted a major bump in screen time?

Yeah, she came in and blew us away all through the season. It was the first job she ever had. She was right out of RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art].

I wanted to do the Namco styled approach (artwork over ingame screen) for years, but never had the right idea for it until this time. Here's the screencap I used for the bg. Made in Idraw as usual and converted into an NES rom which I've thrown onto my Everdrive for screencapping
