NP Comic for Thursday, May 15, 2025
Don Edwards replied to Darth Fluffy's topic in EGS: NP Discussion
Genetically, Ashley looks like an Asian/European mix. Such appearances can be deceiving, though. Culturally she is definitely not Asian. Just look at her name, for starters. "Ashley" as a given name is extremely English - and relatively recent English at that, not getting going until after 1860. So her Asian genetics (if any) have apparently been passed through a few layers of culturally-Americanized ancestors. In my headcanon her last name is "Lysande", which is Swedish. (Not "Lysander" which apparently is somewhat-Anglicized Italian.) - Yesterday

I have never seen that, would like to find it. Well, something else to hunt down. Adam has many interesting after-Myth Busters YouTubes. It's like 1st season, and it's spread over 2 shows, the 1st one then a “revisit” show. <google> Chicken Gun/Octopus Pregnancy/Killer Washing Machine Episode aired Jan 18, 2004 Revisit: June 8, 2004 -

Yeah; here entire backstory and current status seem to suggest she may be a capable agent in some sense, but appears to lack certain people skills and adherence to cultural norms. Which is more than can be said for some of today's leadership. -

"Jarring" seems to be the point. DS has seldom (never?) shown Bishop in a good light. -
So China is not Asian?

There is, of course, the multipart MythBusters thing on Chicken Cannons. Final result: Thaw your chickens before firing at your high-speed train target. -
But from California. And her family is not from Japan, which might as well mean not Asian… /s

Of course she is. This is AU version of DGB agent. What more do you want for trustworthiness?

I have a “normal, not a migraine headache”. Taking meds and taking a break. Today has sucked, at least after I went for milk. It started out good, but Then Things Happened.

I'm not freaking out anymore. On the other hand, I've got a head full of cotton effect from too many antihistamines. This is less than ideal.

Just got some good news, I don't have to go to Joplin to get my next PSA, I can get it at the clinic I can walk to.

Giant flying mega-Hoover vacuums up at 'least one duck' (quote from the article), which causes the engine to flame out. I'm going to guess ducks, because I don't think a single duck is enough to clog the intake enough to shut down the intake, it's pretty damn big. The duck(s) could not be reached for comment, although someone probably had to clean out some of the remnants. I tested an air to ground frequency hopping radio in an F-16, and I had to sit through a short course just to sit in the cockpit. Most of it was 'don't touch this, here in explicit detail are the bad things that will happen to you if you do' (don't ever eject from a plane that is low to the ground), but a part of the course was 'stay away from the engine intake, it can suck you in and eviscerate you - no, further back - what part of evisccerate are you failing to understand?' My favorite bird and plane story is the Brits borrowing the chicken cannon to test an windshield (which is what it is designed to do). I have visited Arnold Air Development Center; the chicken cannon was real, and since it serves a useful function, probably still is. I cannot verify the truth of the anecdote, but it seems plausible, other than I suppose it needs to be clarified that they brought their windshield to the US to test it, rather than the rather humongous chicken carcass accelerator being disassembled and shipped to Europe; I've seen one article that got this detail wrong. -

And she is entirely trustworthy. And does not mess around in her relationships. Which is what they might do if they were told from a young age they were hers . . . Canonically, in EGS, Ashley is Asian. Sarah does not appear to be Asian at all. Aside from everything else, this seems to preclude actual sisterhood, or some further explanation is warranted. Likely, it isn't a real consideration, and we are expected to ignore this, but as far as it goes, I stand by "They are not convincing (to me) as sisters." Doesn't mean I'm right, just seems jarring. -

But they have the same father… As she has said repeatably.

First professional recording of a whole concert of “The Warning” (one of my favorite bands) I've run across. Concert videos on YT tend to suck.

They do say something about Mom. -
Freaking middle-aged women in cheap Japanese cars. One is going to kill me some day. Coming back from getting milk, one pulled out, from a stop sign, right in front of me. Ended up doing a J stop to avoid being clipped by her. I'm going to take an antianxiety pill, even if I have taken antihistamines already today.

Duck vs F-16. F-16 wins, but it's expensive. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/f16-duck-mishap-alaska/ -
Yes, but by various factors, starting with “ick, she's his sister” and ending with “dating that foreign princess” she's out of the running. Of course, she is going to make the “meet other nobles in case the prince thing falls through” a bit tricky. Also, I tend to forget that Ellen has training at singing via 2nd life. Lots of fanfic make it clear that Elliot can't sing, even if the canon evidence is based on him being in female form at the time, which would affect singing.
