Group A's trinket can instantly produce any raw resource. A raw resource is anything that could exist without a humor labor process (cooking, blacksmithing, woodworking, etc). If something absolutely requires human labor to be put into it to exist, it can't be made by the magic box.
What can group A even create? They can't make metals but they can maybe makes ores? They can't make any food except for what can be found in the wild? They can't even make domesticated animals, they have to summon wild deer or something. They might be able to make stone dwellings if they can summon raw resources in any shape. They wouldn't be able to make lumber or even timber but could make trees? They could make rain water in any quantity so that's pretty nice.
Group A would probably fuck up and try to make a new sun (so it isn't so dark at night) and accidentally destroy the planet because they made it only 1000 miles away.
decide to flip the switch, unguard the switch and flip it
Are you aware of what the F-35 cockpit looks like? It's mostly a giant touchscreen. What's all this nonsense about "flipping a switch"? Surely you mean navigate to the correct settings menu.
The F-35 is a piece of shit. There were two separate problems.
A. Problem 1 is that the hydraulic fluid froze because of shitty maintenance. It's not supposed to do that. This caused the landing gear to become stuck in a partially retracted position. The pilot couldn't land so he called tech support and spent 50 minutes on a conference call.
B. The tech support guys told him to do some touch and go landings to see if that fixes the problem. Basically hitting the landing gear against the runway to see if that fixes it.
C. During the 2nd touch and go landing the F-35 decided it was landed and switch the pilot from the flying controls to the ground controls. These are really only meant for doing stuff on the ground like taxi-ing or starting the take-off. You can't fly the plane like this so the pilot ejected and the plane crashed.
Yes there should be an override but also that may not have helped in this situation. Once the F-35 decided it was on the ground he would have only a few seconds to figure out the problem, override the system, and pilot his way out of a crash. What would have been useful is an override he could have set up in advance to prevent the F-35 from switching to ground mode regardless of what its sensors tell it. I'm sure Lockheed can code something like that for a few billion dollars.
He didn't. He was flying for 50 minutes in the normal and correct "fly-by-wire" settings. Then he did two touch and go landings. On the second touch and go the F-35 decided that he was now on the ground. The new fly-by-wire settings were now in ground mode and this made it impossible to fly the plane properly in the air.
A Ukrainian special forces sergeant told The Telegraph that the loss of new Warhammer novels in Ukrainian was a blow to morale.
Access to Ukrainian translations was more important than ever, he said, because soldiers should not have to rely on bootleg translations in Russian, the language of their enemy.
“Warhammer 40,000 holds a secret spot in my heart, as well as thousands of Ukrainian soldiers from all the branches and services of the defence forces of Ukraine,” said the sergeant, who can be identified only by his call sign “Shekel” for security reasons.
This is a great and informative write-up. Consider reposting this in the News megathread on Monday (for visibility). There's a lot of information addicts in there.
Americans can't identify Nazis even if they're larping with swastikas and Hitler Salutes. They just say "Oh that's just Ukrainian culture". It certainly fucking isn't, Ukraine did the more to defeat the Nazis than any western ally.
