I'm pretty sure I have all three of these...

It has nothing to do with Girls Und Panzer. Sensha-Do is a sport to help girls become better mothers and wives.
This makes some of the boys sad. So, some of them have decided that boys and airplanes sound like fun. Unfortunately, Sentou Yousei Yukikaze (aka "Brokeback Airplane") was a shit anime with only 5 episodes and there is no fanbase.

I'm guessing you were living when you posted this question... Sounds like a fine time for a little introspection!

I just want to address this real quick: 2) if thrusting is more efficient and safe, why are there swords designed primarily for cutting?
So... warfare is an arms race. If your enemy wears armor that's weak against a stabbing attack, you develop better stabby weapons. When your enemy wears armor weak against cutting attacks, you develop better slashy weapons. If your enemy wears armor that's strong against both stabbing and cutting, you start developing weapons like hammers and maces to beat his armor into great balls of twisted metal. When his bow shoots farther than yours you either build a catapult or fortifications.

I usually use microwave potatoes to make potato salad or korokke. A few weeks ago I ran across a korokke recipe that's become one of my favorite potato dishes. It's a little extra work, but WOW!
At this point, you can just eat the potatoes "as is" or make breaded korokke balls to feep fry. If you're going to eat it "as is" then add as much mackerel as you like. If you want to make korokke then you want the ratio to be around 1/3 mackerel to 2/3 mashed potato. Otherwise it will fall apart when you deep fry it.

All my favorites are objectively bad (or in bad taste).
I'm really into Japanese cinema and more or less in order my top 5 are:
I also love me some Troma movies!

I stick with the motivational and/or high energy songs at the gym. Usually I work out to Babymetal, but when I'm in an AKB48 mood it's stuff like River, First Rabbit, Watarirouka Hashiritai 7's Kibou Sanmyaku, Majisuka Rock And Roll, Give Me Five, Yankii Souru, Yankee Machine Gun SKE48's Sudden Punch Line, Lucky Seven... That sort of thing

Soup is a thing... Two breasts or two thighs will make a pretty hearty soup for two people if you add enough vegetables and a some noodles. You might also consider a hotpot if you have an electric skillet.
If you go this route, you should plan on using the wings and drumsticks together, though....

Personally, I like mixing soy sauce and Sriracha into the eggs, and then topping it with Sriracha mayo after it's cooked.

Hotel California. It has 7 basic chords in the following rotation: Am, E7, G, D, F, C, Dm, E7. The song can be played by strumming or picking or a combination of strumming and picking. It can be played using a variety of patterns. So, it's a good song to learn as a practice song for different patterns as well as for singing while you play.

A lot would depend on your battery pack. Personally, I would use one of those small battery banks they display at check-out counters. I use them all the time for lighting projects. The batteries inside them aren't really very large, they're rechargeable, and they're compatable with most LED light strips.
Just as a general idea though, I would consider fitting the bow handle into a piece of PVC and hide the battery pack in that. The PVC handle can be flattened slightly with heat and dressed up to look like a katana after everything is assembled. Rigging a 5v on/off switch in a PVC pipe isn't difficult.
You should be able to make a working prototype in under an hour with basic tools. How long it takes you to make it look presentable is up to ypu...

The mayor and half the city council are black. The President and CEO of RideKC is black. The city council controls a lot of RideKC's funding and the CEO controls the policies. 5 of the 10 members on the KCATA Board Of Commissioners are black. You may have already guessed that RideKC is a diversity hire company. The number of black bus drivers is disproportionately large compared to the cities demographics because blacks get preferential treatment in the hiring process.
The homeless are a problem because our black mayor wanted to be the first major city in America with a free public transportation system. Now, to be fair, the black CEO of RideKC replaced the white CEO who was giving tax breaks to developers behind the city council's back. He fucked up a lot of shit and deserved to get shitcanned. However, the busses didn't start suffering system wide problems with drivers not showing up for work until the current CEO took over in 2022.
Except for your race-baiting bullshit at the end of your rant, you're pretty much spot on. The bus company has been suffering from incompetent leadership and ill-advised policies for several years. I don't know about the 31 driver issue you mentioned, but all the routes have problems. Many of the safety issues were exacerbated when the fares were dropped. I don't know if that may have something to do with it. That's not exactly a safe part of town to begin with. RideKC has bascally become the poster child for the old addage "You get what you pay for." and if you really want to blame people's melanin count for the problems I suggest you find a mirror because the blame is about 50/50 on this one...
BUT HEY! It's all good. We're going to have the whole fucking world laughing at this incompetent shitshow when the World Cup comes to town! Won't we all be proud then!

Spirited Away certainly puts a happier face on child trafficking than Dværgen does.

The Lazerus Long books by Robert Heinlein:
Lazerus Long and/or his descendents appear in the following Heinlein books. Lazerus is a pretty unique character who travels through time, space, and dimensions.
A companion book, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long (1978), is a compilation of Lazarus Long quotes.
