  1. Wing Commander Privateer mit echtem MS-DOS auf einem 486er spielen

    Mit "Wing Commander: Privateer" einen Ableger aus dem Wing Commander Universum spielen, bei dem man als freischaffender Söldner, Händler oder Pirat ganz im Stil von "Elite" durch die Galaxie zieht, um die Missionen der Storyline und/oder zufallsbasierte Aufträge zu erfüllen.

  2. I got behind on posting the past few weeks of pickups from Julio's Liquors.

    First up, from a Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors tasting, I picked up a couple of offerings from Raising Glasses - a four year Queen's Share bottling of Privateer Rum and Rum Passport, a six-nation single cask blend of rum.

    That same night I picked up my reserved Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream.

    At another WW I picked up a couple of Mad River Distillers bottles - Summit American Single Malt Whiskey and Founders Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey. Both bottles were signed by co-founder Maura Connolly.

    That night I also picked up my reserved Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 70th Anniversary Release 8 year bourbon.

    Then I was back in for another WW and I picked up the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society picked Bully Boy Distillers "Wicked Dahk" wheated bourbon and my reserved High West Distillery A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 12 Scene 2.

    Space Privateers or Space Pirates? Armed Conflict, Outer Space, and the Attribution of Non-State Activities

    Famously, George Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France at the end of the First World War, quipped that “generals always prepare to fight the last war, especially if they won it.” Such flaws of perspicacity, of course, are not limited to generals. After all, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr once mused, “prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.” No wonder then that, when back in 1945 the Charter of the United Nations was concluded, it mainly focused on efforts to prevent a Third World War from arising along the lines of the Second. Most specifically, the massive armed attacks against other sovereign States and their territories that had initiated the war triggered the baseline prohibition of Article 2(4) >>

  5. CW: #StarTrekLowerDecks E402 - "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee"

    @HippieScubaSteve That alien ship going around killing other ships did remind me of the mysterious alien drone ship in #WingCommander #Privateer, going around in a killing spree.

  6. @Lyrilith

    I really enjoy the vibe of #RebelGalaxyOutlaw, though I could do with fewer space fights and more hauling.

    Reminded me of #Privateer and #Freelancer, two fantastic space trading & trucking games with story elements.

  7. Ok, structural #glycotime folks: together with Garib, Rob and Keitaro (MRC-LMB) we’re re-doing and testing the #CCP4 restraint dictionaries for #GlycosidicLinks using #AceDRG and #Privateer MKIV.

    Are there any links we’ve missed in previous iterations of the monomer library?

    What sort of checks would you like us to do to make sure the dictionaries are up to scratch?

    We’re currently checking R/Rfree, rmsd, ring conformation, RSCC on deposited vs old_monlib vs new_monlib post-refinement.

  11. Introduction
    I am Jon Agirre (Glyco Jones ≈ addicted to #glycotime) and I am a Royal Society URF at YSBL, Department of Chemistry, The University of York, UK. I run a diverse team of ~10 people, some of them developing new software for structural glycobiology, others looking at #MachineLearning approaches to structure validation. I helped create #Privateer, Iris, #CCP4i2 and others. Hobbies: I play electric guitar, and have crafted my own guitar, effects pedals, board and cables. I am #autistic.
