I think that part kinda makes sense. The lid is domed, which increases its strength. The seam where the lid meets the walls would tend to be the weakest point. I’m more surprised there was such a violent explosion in the first place, usually they just burn. Could be that tank was partially empty and the area beneath the lid was a highly combustible fuel/air mix. Drone hits the tank, vapour ignites, and pop.
Possibly some form of insurance. “Be a real shame if someone were to lob a drone at your big, slow, expensive oil tanker…”

Why would you even do that?? Props to the medical team, and I’m happy the victim healed so well, but seems like something that just shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
TIL Spaghettios are ring shaped pasta in tomato soup…
Yes, the docs linked in OP’s post have this note:
Mesa 25.1.3+ minimum, 25.1.5+ recommended for proper RADV driver support.
I was gonna make the same comment but you beat me to it. Article title kinda buries the lede here, the “trained to bite” part seems so much more incriminating to me.
Just one time, as a lil treat…
Likely reversed because whoever edited these clips together wanted the camera to be moving consistently forward. If they didn’t reverse the middle clip it would give the impression that the camera was moving forward, then backward, then forward again. Editor probably figured most viewers would likely focus their attention on the waving flag and not notice the backwards walking. I didn’t notice until I saw your comment and rewatched the clip!
Edit: but then there’s a backwards camera move at the end, so now I’m questioning my own theory…
Definitely that, but also, are those pins not recessed or guarded?? That seems like really poor engineering. There could have been some kind of physical keying between the charger and the controller to prevent other metallic items from inadvertently bridging the contacts.
Once he loses power, he’ll be pretty lucky if he only loses his freedom. He’s kept a lot of oligarchs under his thumb for a long time…
One of the show’s tech consultants addressed that in this interview:
What are some of the challenges faced in presenting hacking and cybersecurity in both a realistic and an entertaining manner?
I think the biggest challenge is time. We are only given seconds to demonstrate a hack that could take hours. While we are accurate about the details of the hack, we must fudge the time element.
I think the short answer is that it doesn’t. VaultWarden is currently open source, and no private equity organization can put the genie back in the bottle. If things get really bad then someone would likely fork the open source bits and maintain a pure open source version, in which case there would likely be a procedure to migrate existing VaultWarden installs to the purely open source successor. I don’t think VaultWarden users need to be overly concerned at this point.
Yeah, that’s what I was referring to. For years now I’ve avoided buying RAM with anything less than a limited lifetime warranty. I would hope that manufacturers wouldn’t renege on their own warranties, but these are crazy times…
Check the warranty status! Some modules have a lifetime warranty for hardware defects. Not sure if this applies to you, but it could be an easy replacement without having to pay today’s ridiculous RAM prices.
It’s a game, heavily inspired by the mixtapes of our shared youth. Some people say it’s not a game, because it doesn’t meet their definition of “game.” Some call it a “walking simulator,” which has a pejorative connotation. I haven’t played it yet, but I plan to, critics and purists be damned.
Government contracting is a grift with a long, long history. I bet if you travelled back in time to ancient Egypt, you’d find military leaders overcharging the pharaohs for security services.
Seconding Winboat, works great for the one piece of software I have that is stuck on Windows. At this point I am 100% not going back, I even wiped my Windows disk. That drive is for trying out other distros now.
The reality is that China was completely devastated after the war, and rebuilding was not an easy process.
Yeah, not buying that argument at all. Practically every country was devastated after the war, China’s hardly unique in that regard. Why would it take fifteen full years for China’s postwar woes to culminate in an acute famine? Makes no logical sense, and stinks of excuse-making.
The paper I linked shows that the policies proved to be correct on the whole, and life expectancy increased dramatically as a result.
Mao wanted to reform China, and tens of million of deaths was the price he was willing to pay. It’s a lot easier to make great strides when you don’t give a fuck about your own people. I’ll reserve my admiration for leaders who manage the feat without inflicting untold human misery on the their own citizens.
This is it. A 2006 Ford F150 has a hood height of 51 inches, or just over 4 feet. Getting hit by one of these would be bad, but for many people it wouldn’t likely result in a head injury. A 2026 Ford F150 has a hood height of 75 inches, or more than 6 feet tall. Getting hit by one of these as a pedestrian is practically a guaranteed head injury.
I’m sure there are other factors. Higher speeds, lack of investment in infrastructure, political unwillingness to make any changes that might increase congestion or slow down drivers. But I believe hood height is playing a huge role in the type and severity of pedestrian injuries in the US and Canada.
