https://t.co/oRB2QYGLqX It's best to get the physical book of this darkly comic novel, so that you can BE the sight gag that it has to offer. Heavily researched in Physics, Economics, and Sociology, this non-mathematical novel is the BEST thing to get caught reading in public!

[Wraxtiorre (Ω No Blue Check! Ω) @Wraxtiorre]

This one is much better!

[Wraxtiorre (Ω No Blue Check! Ω) @Wraxtiorre]

Well, this one turned out better!

[Wraxtiorre (Ω No Blue Check! Ω) @Wraxtiorre]

Okay, the mucous thing is a bit wrong.

Another try at the coffeehouse scene. The spaghetti eating hasn't improved since the days when Will Smith was eating it.

Well, this one is a bit better, although the musicians need to pull the dada-ist jazz corks out.

@arczeal_designs @brockpierson Get him to befriend the elevator! At least they can cry together!

@BubbleyBrain I used to have a pet ferret.

My first effort at a marketing video for my book. I need to try again--people diving into the pool from the middle of the water is a bit far-fetched.

@Meredith_author 3/3 But if that friend isn't available for the duration of the drafting process, I just internalize their voice and perspective (or at least my version of it) and have an internal dialogue with that voice in which I bounce ideas around.

[Wraxtiorre (Ω No Blue Check! Ω) @Wraxtiorre]

@Meredith_author 2/3 But that makes for an empty and vanity-filled approach, because the reader is then already a fan of the text.

【現代の"草摺（くさずり）"】戦場の進化がたどり着いた答えは、まさかの「戦国甲冑」だった！？

見た目はまるでスカートや古代ローマの防具、あるいは日本の鎧の「草摺（くさずり）」。

実はこれ、ウクライナのアーマーメーカー（Balistyka社など）が最前線のリアルな戦訓から開発した「バリスティック・キルト（腰回り用防弾アーマー）」です。

■ なぜ今、スカート型アーマーなのか？

これまでの対テロ戦争（非対称戦）では、機動力重視の「軽量なプレートキャリア」が主流でした。
しかし、現在のウクライナ戦線のような大規模な砲撃戦・ドローン戦では状況が一変。最大の脅威は小銃弾よりも「砲弾やFPVドローンの破片（フラグメンテーション）」になりました。

■ 守るべきは「大腿動脈」と「骨盤」
破片が下半身、特に太ももの付け根（大腿動脈）や骨盤・鼠径部に直撃すると、止血帯（ターニケット）すら巻けず数分で致命傷になります。
かといってガチガチの重装甲にすると歩兵が動けない……。
「機動力（歩幅・しゃがみ動作）を殺さず、腰回りと大腿動脈を360度破片から守る」
この矛盾を解決するために導き出されたのが、パネルを分割して重ねる「スカート構造」でした。

人間の急所（動脈や関節）は数千年前から変わらないため、防御と機動性を突き詰めた結果、最先端の超高分子量ポリエチレン（UHMWPE）装甲が「日本の大鎧」や「ローマ軍団のプテリゲス」と同じ形に先祖返りしたのです。
最先端テクノロジーが導き出した"機能美の極致"。ロマンが詰まりすぎていませんか……？

@AuthorGFAllen I actually started it, but I've been tied up in household chores--I want to be able to curl up with it for a long time!

[Wraxtiorre (Ω No Blue Check! Ω) @Wraxtiorre]

@Briellefine Nope, Physical books as much as possible. Something about the feel of the paper, the physical act of actually turning a page instead of swiping a screen!

@JamieAdStories Oddly, one of the oldest books I ever read! Taught me more about Capitalism (400 years before it was conceived) and fascism than anything ever since.

@mebrannan Bravo!

@SOOPLLC Can you really call yourself an influencer if nobody's listening?

@angelshalagina The only thing to say to Putin's soldiers is what Zelenskyy said to Putin years ago, and every day since.
