Unleash the Reclaimer!

I always forget how big the 890j is. My Carrack looks petite and cute next to it!

Gonna be interesting. Many countries have banned flights from India (Canada has). Gonna see many people try alternate transit points (ie. Hong Kong).

Is it that baffling though? Yes human activity has interweaved with wildlife since the beginning of time but never before at this scale. I partly grew up in Southeast Asia in tropical rural areas that are now urban. Human populations have gone up, natural habitats have gone down, and...

Cool dude!

Could have been from anything...bats, pangolins, civets, whatever. My money is on deforestation and buildup of human habitation in previously wild areas. I've lived in areas that have bats and their feces get everywhere. With humans encroaching on wildlife habitats...I'm actually surprised there...

Initial vaccine jabs and booster shots for years to come. Seems like that’s the direction we’re looking at.

Bit anecdotal here but my partner’s colleague (they’re all hospital nurses) caught the virus AFTER getting her second shot (Pfizer). She only found out about it from routine testing. Other than the stress from knowing she caught it, she only had very mild symptoms and was back at work in two...

India Is What Happens When Rich People Do Nothing Yeah I’m really worried about what’s happening in India. It’s an absolute perfect storm. Gonna affect vaccine availability. The sheer population and infection rate dwarfs every country that went through previous waves. I think one of these...

Gotta bring back tar and feathering for these people.

This. As much as I wanna see multi-crew ships like the Polaris, Idris, etc. in the Verse I feel like they shouldn't be priority. Until they implement more features and get Server Meshing in (and thus have more than measly 40 person servers), there really isn't any point. I personally haven't...

I blame the Modhi Government. Reminds me of similar governments in Brazil and more recently....a certain North American country. Shouldn't throw stones in glass houses either I guess. My country's vaccine rollout program is atrocious.

Companies like DoorDash and Ubereats actually charge an arm and a leg to the restaurants. I had a chat with the restaurant owner and he says they barely make anything when they go through the delivery app companies. You're talking about up to 35% in commissions levied on the restaurants. There's...

Happy Birthday boss! :o7:

Vegetable Pakora, Chicken Spinach Saag, and Lamb Biryani for dinner. Tipped the restaurant a bit extra cause they really needed it. The place seemed quieter than usual, not sure if this has anything to do with what’s happening in India. No indoor dining at restaurants due to COVID restrictions...

You joke but my South Asian friends all say that. "Curry keeps our immune system up!" Probably some truth to that. Curry's the bomb and tumeric has all sorts of positive properties. BRB. Getting some curry and biryani from the takeout.

Yeah that’s what makes this supposed Indian variant so frightening. India wasn’t hit as hard in the first couple of waves. Far Right Hindu Nationalist politicians and media there attributed that to Indians being of superior stock. They were smug and did little to respond to the pandemic. I mean...

Man India is effed. They’re gonna make Brazil’s cases look like a mild flu season by the time they’re done. Months of government denial (they were still having full on political rallies), population apathy (social gatherings and mass religious festivals were still held), lacklustre/unequal...

Did a part of our monthly TEST member donations go towards the purchase of DiscoLando's new car or something?

Hearts and Minds man! Don’t wanna give the Vanduul propaganda points to use against us evil humans!
