German 2nd Dreadnought class battleships
From today's Wikipedia frontpage (
full article):
The (Dreadnought) class comprised four ships: Helgoland, the lead ship; Oldenburg; Ostfriesland; and Thüringen. The design was a significant improvement over the previous Nassau-class ships; they had a larger main battery — 30.5 cm (12.0 in) main guns instead of the 28 cm (11 in) weapons mounted on the earlier vessels — and an improved propulsion system.
I went on Wikipedia today (don't even remember why) when I noticed this front page. It occured to me that they're calling a ship with greater speed and firepower than its successor an 'improvement'. They're basically saying it's a good thing that it's more deadly... seriously, why is it a good thing to be able to kill more efficiently than one could five years ago? According to this article the first and second class Dreadnought battleships saw combat during the first World War, which is almost a hundred years ago, and this mentality of 'the deadlier the better' is a lot older (I think it's about as old as humanity), but I'm still naively hoping it will change some time. Hope with me.
Randomness
In entirely unrelated news, life is pretty good at the moment. The bank that has been graciously storing my money for me for the past two years went bankrupt so I've got no access to my money, but apart from that it's good. A lot of people are having a lot more trouble with this than I'm having, but in the future I'll think twice before trusting a smaller bank. Also, I just had a one-week vacation (which ends today) during which I made a lot of music and visited some friends and generally had a great time. Naturally, I didn't do anything generally considered useful so that's all coming down to this one day, but by now I should be used to this.
Art-wise things aren't as bright (apart from the music, that is, but I can't post that on dA) so don't be surprised when you don't see any uploads from me. I'll be here, commenting as usual (which is not very frequent but still), but I don't see a lot of new stuff coming up in the near-to-mildly-far future.
Lots of love and a pacifistic
to all
Improvement..?

If life gives you lemons you should make lemonade and try to find someone who’s life is giving them vodka and have a party.
You can take me out of hell,
but you can't take hell out of me.
