I will only accept American in two places, albeit mostly for nostalgia/vibes; burger/patty melt, and grilled cheese.
And even in those applications you can do a lot better for the melty cheese factor - hell even provolone or swiss is a solid upgrade.
Pure guess, but they might perceive the FPV falling out of the sky as an EW kill/signal loss, which is temporary, leaving an otherwise functioning drone uncomfortably close by just waiting for a clear signal from the pilot.
First guy had the right idea with the long stick to try and trigger the impact detonator, but then picked it up… Russians please continue, I see no issue with hand carrying UXO. Your friends also want to see it!
Or, here’s the apparently radical third option… do what the voters want and reel Bibi/Givir/Smotrich in, or at the very least stop giving Israel outright political cover. “Israel gets to do war crimes and/or genocide… and you pay for it” was a uni-party stance in the 2024 cycle, and it’s fucking infuriating. I expect the right to back Israel reflexively, but I did NOT expect to see y’all pull the mental gymnastics make yourselves be okay with it. And then have the gall to shout down and bully away criticism of the party’s complicity.
If your candidate can mostly be summed up as “less shit” then that damning sales pitch to get the ‘apolitical normie’ vote out to win elections s. Kamala barely stood tall on any firm policy - let along a coherent platform, didn’t distance herself sufficiently from Biden, and didn’t respond to voters’ legitimate economic anxieties. At that point a demonstrable lies become the sound bites differentiating Trump from Kamala.
Where’s the laugh to be had aside from “haha Chinese have squinty eye”? Get better material, this is hack open-mic trash.
Be better, do better y’all.
You don’t. Drivers are often hit by cars that ‘come out of nowhere’, motorcycles with loud engines, full lane use and signaling are ‘invisible’ when drivers only expect ‘big metal box’ in road - they’re just not going to see you, let alone look for you.
Build a hardened bicycle lane and I’ll use it with pleasure, otherwise I’ll ride with the pedestrians and catch looks when I pass by wide in the verge
I’m torn here, as both a taxpayer and someone who works adjacent to manufacturing on the engineer side.
The military has some super duper complex stuff like AESA radar or ICBMs, that while inherently needn’t have proprietary/contractual barriers for self-maintenance, it is not always the best idea to let maintenance level end users loose with the tools. Breaking something you don’t understand/comprehend like a stealth bomber’s paint can lead to adverse outcomes down the line.
However the MIC has been abusing this and other loopholes to essentially ‘launder’ profit after a deliberate lowball bid to secure a contract. So I’m tentatively excited to nix this…? The Nsvy does solid work
trainingschooling people for nuclear reactors, so this is not new ground for the DoD
