Neal Stephenson's latest book "Termination Shock" has eagles taking down drones!

I love Neal Stephenson's writing. I have Snow Crash and The Diamond Age on my shelf here next to me. Been meaning to read more of his books.
Neal appears to be prophetic almost, in his visionary writings; a little freaky if you ask me.

I am so sharing this.

Did you notice the second video later on the page where the young man was throwing the "drone" and it flapped upwards? Two seconds of the "drone" flapping but no sustained flight images. I'm betting it crashed right away.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I wonder if I will be charged if I shoot one of these down because of droppings in my property...

It's like a spin-off of the Walking Dead. The Flying Dead. Just creepy.

Distant - Born of Blood[^]
Been listening to this album last week.
Just found out they're from Rotterdam and I may or may not have seen them live some years ago
This is from their third album.
They play deathcore.
Not much to say, except SOTW!

Hmmm - I lean more towards "Noise of the Week".
We have different tastes Sander, but thanks for sharing.
Best wishes from Minnesota!

The last four weeks have all been metal!
It's probably been years since I've listened to so much metal for so long
I have a strong feeling next week's SOTW may be different

Quote: How did you set out to find extreme metal, but found traditional Japanse music instead? I guess I am in sync with YT algorithm: I checked some DM / MC tracks like August Burns Red, or Hands of Attrition, then suddenly I saw a new really good track from Babymetal, then I selected a great classic track from Oslo Philharmonic playing Liszt with the notorious Yuja Wang, and before I knew it, YT gave me this really enjoyable long Japanese folk track ... perfect synergy , the algorithm understood somehow what I was looking for ...

That is a nice one!
What's with all the female DJ's doing sets like this in front of a camera?

Evidently it is now a 'thing,' and YouTube's algorithm wants to share it. Fortunately, some of them are good, although I wasn't very taken with her skin suit or whatever it was. Liked her music, though.

Sorry. Just Plain Bad Noise. Nothing there that doesn't sound like "HELL". Good luck.
