Originally the forerunners built 12 30,000km wide rings on the less secret greater ark. That ark and 11 rings are destroyed before the array fires. In the process of building those they learned they could make the rings 10,000km wide and they would only need 6 of them. Far more efficient and logistically much easier to move and build. These are the rings you interact with in the games and the smaller and more secretive ark is the one you see.

TL;DR the tech got smaller and more efficient over the millennia it took to build the first 12.

I just pretend the series ended at 4. The Greg bear and Karen Traniss books are good too.

All six of the smaller ones made by the lesser ark from halo 3 as well as one bigger older ones fire about 100000 years before the events of the games. The 19th halo, installation 08 that was being built to replace 04(that we blew up) also fires independently destroying its self(because incomplete) and is replaced by 09.

So one array fire and one incomplete solo fire both to wipe out flood infestations.

China has attained WOPR technology!

Pharaoh ants.

A brave new world and clockwork orange are in the same vein as well.

Hope? >!A nuke drops at the end and everyone dies!<

I got futility from the last page.

Too original. It’s like stargate or something nerdy that rips off scifi

Grok + Oracle is our skynet and the name is dumber. It’s what goes in the data center under the Epstein ballroom too 🥲

Just a note about voting in some places, it may not matter anymore. I’m not saying don’t vote, most people still should but how shall I put this…

Billionaires and private equity bought Dominion and all the other voting machine manufacturers. The “changes” to election integrity departments of the government are also… Notable.

Yah. I don’t have a solution but chances of voting our way out drop by the day

Corps don’t have to register to people anymore. Just as an example of how corrupt and well stocked these plate spinning rich bastards are

Windows update managed to overwrite multiple non windows drives on my dual boot a few months ago. I don’t know how likely it is but microslop defiantly encourages backups

Hack the cameras and tell city council about their vehicles location throughout the week.

So Israel will help out and slowly annex Jordan as well as Lebanon.

Hey tankie, you know db0 is a data mining op right?

No. The 10s are garbage. There are a few years of 00s sonatas that were OK if you didn’t get a lemon but trash overall, the Korean Hewlett Packard of car manufacturing.

2009?

The KIA boys disagree. They were cheap crap in the 00s and the 10s and I really doubt their software in the 20s models is any kind of secure. Doubt their power trains will age well either, the Ioniq might be ok for an Ev but I wouldn’t.

It’s a Hyundai. The cliff was under water. They’re basically grade A KIAs.

We still have redacted
