  • You are now on a list.

  • Germany sold some submarines to Greece that were leaning over on one side out the factory

  • Oh no worries, I've had constant existential dread and the fear of death following my every waking moment since I was 12, with sleeplessness to boot.

  • Trump's "Board of Peace" is intended as basically official world police and several countries have signed up for it because they want to actively enforce "peace" towards anyone they disagree with.

    The UN will never succeed in anything useful unless their resolutions carry economic or military weight.

  • Capping rents to a reasonable price while at the same time adjusting minimum wage to follow inflation rates on a yearly basis also does wonders for anxiety BTW

  • If you want a specific variety of a plant that's patented by, say, Monsanto, you don't own the seeds you get but rather their permission to plant them.

    If you re-plant seeds in your own field produced by the crops of the previous year on that same field they can sue you and they will win (see Bowman v. Monsanto Co.)

  • Iran "attacking its neighbors" is one way to phrase the fact they are hitting back towards US bases they are being attacked from and also towards Israel which itself has attacked basically every country it has borders with and several that it hasn't.

  • Ukraine is sending neither drones nor soldiers inside of Iran.

    Thousands of Iranian drones have landed into Ukrainian soil, though.

    Also are you telling me the Iranians sent the drones to Russia and just sent them flight instructions printed on an A4 paper instead of Iranian instructors...?

  • Hmmm, I wonder how Ukraine ever managed to become so proficient in shooting down Iranian drones, years before anyone else?

  • Ghostbusters!

  • This is only second to that time the cops killed a dude then sent a dry cleaner bill to his family because of all the blood they had to wash from their uniforms

  • Wait, you mean to tell me that a country of almost 100m people with a vast military industry under a theocratic totalitarian government won't be toppled by dropping bombs on it for two weeks?

    Unless Trump sends in troops and makes it all the way to Tehran by killing thousands on both ends I don't see how he makes any change happen there whatsoever.

    This is all just a blank cheque for Israel to invade Lebanon and pretty much anyone else.

  • I assume that's the same way people felt like in 1980, when IBM released the world's first >1GB hard drive.

    It was as big as a fridge and cost $100k in today's money to buy, for a whopping 2.5GB of storage.

    My astrophotography projects are several GB each, my phone can shoot 4k RAW video that eats up 6GB a minute and it's all hobby-level.

    I wouldn't mind if those 44TB drives became more affordable in a few years, I'm already saving up for a 24TB NAS.

  • Most facilities are deep underground, hard to reach for most bombs except those carried by big bombers that are expensive to operate and a logistical nightmare in contested airspace, which Iran is at the moment.

    The shaheds are also tiny, cheap and are built mostly from readily available components. As we've seen in Ukraine there are literally hundreds of designs, some made literally with cardboard, with new iterations seemingly every day.

    Traditional air defense systems can be very easily overwhelmed by sheer number of incoming drones. Combine those with ballistic weapons and the mix is pretty much unstoppable with current means.

  • Special Military Operation 2: The Retardening

  • When it comes to countering shaheds, Ukraine is years ahead of pretty much everyone right now.

    Iran has been mass producing them for years too, they can make hundreds a month and they could make hundreds more in a sustained war situation.

    The US has very few options besides pulling outta there quickly that will allow them to call it a victory.

    If Russia decides to play ball and feed intel to Iran then those salvos and shahed swarms are gonna start landing on aircraft carriers like flies on a turd.

  • Aside from the obvious security risk at the moment, I will never understand how we pay for those mfers to fly around the continent for a meeting that can be done over zoom

  • Ukraine has paid for that drone tech with blood and PTSD, they better demand some steep payment
