  • What if today's Iran is resigned to a long, hellish war with the US?

    Jump

  • The US is showing up with 4 times as many cruise missiles as Iran has total launch systems, on day one. The US has a working supply chain to bring more. Iran won't have a supply chain from anywhere, and construction won't be an option without materials, which would also be targeted.

    Iran has no chance of standing up to the US military, that's never really been a question. The only thing they can, and probably will do, is cause some losses to the Navy and any land troops. Unlike Iraq or Afghanistan, the US will take serious casualties if it goes into Iran. That won't be enough to stop the invasion, or really even slow it down. Internal politics would be a far more likely reason to stop any open invasion.

  • In order to continue challenging air defenses, there has to be someplace left to launch an air attack from. And since Iran has nothing to stop US air attacks, that becomes an issue long before US air defense runs out.

  • Iran wouldn't blow through a serious fraction of US air defense. The main threats from Iran would be torpedo's and water based mines from hidden/small launch sites. Their drone attacks would probably land a couple hits early on, due to sheer volume, but they wouldn't get to launch waves like Russia is able to in Ukraine. There wouldn't be enough launch sites remaining after the first two weeks.

    The bigger issues would be what other countries do in reaction. China and Russia at the top of that list.

  • What if the reason Trump hasn't attacked is because Iran is supplying Russia with the drones they need in Ukraine?

  • What 3D Printer should I buy as my first?

  • You can always spend more to get more. The great thing about the Ender series is that you can get the very base model for super cheap, and parts/upgrades are also dirt cheap. So you can learn, tinker, and get into things easily.

    Jump

  • They're not horrible, but they're very basic. If you want bed leveling, filament sensing, or network connectivity, then you're going to have to upgrade the basic machine, and you can. Top that off with figuring out what modeling to slicing pipeline you want to use and you end up touching every step of 3d printing for a very modest price. At which point, if you do want to drop some money on a printer with everything you want already in it, you know exactly what you're looking for.

  • If you're wanting to learn, just get the cheapest Ender3. No they're not good printers, but they're open and you can add on parts as you figure out they're needed. They take tuning to adjustment to get a halfway decent print, meaning you're going to learn how to do that. And once you've done that, you're going to have very solid opinions about what you need in your next printer.

  • That's just because they picked it up from us Americans. Like the lions that learned gay sex.

  • Serial killers skew white, male, under middle age, have a developmental trauma, tend to work alone, have impulse control issue, lack of empathy and manipulative behavior. As compared to the general populace.

  • oh....

    Jump

  • If you averaged out every serial killer, you end up with someone that is remarkably just like me. I've learned this isn't a bit of trivia to mention during job interviews.

  • Hungary says it will block a key EU loan to Ukraine until Russian oil shipments resume

    Jump

  • There's no such thing as 'must be'. There's only as much as the member states will put up with. If the cost exceeds the value, it will get changed, along with any rules that supposedly prevent it. The only thing the rules do is set a higher cost.

  • I'm betting a mechanism could be created. It hasn't happened because Germany and France don't want it to, yet. That could change.

  • The US is the largest arms exporter in the world. It would be amazing if that were made no longer true.

  • That wasn't a problem for me at the time. It was part of the reason for my lack of a degree.

  • At the time it was great pay and a good entry into a career path at a facility that is still active today. No regerts though, I speed ran the career through contract work and moved to a different area.
