Any number of things:

  • an old F-150 driving past the end of Andrews AFB at a convenient time with a battery of refurbished FIM-92s set up in the bed
  • same, but with some hobbyist-refurbished 40mm bofors
  • same, but with some hobbyist-refurbished 20mm oerlikons
  • drone swarms with some energetically-exothermic chemical components
  • sabotage (beastie boys intensifies)
  • fuel contamination
  • any sort of rapid unscheduled exothermic disassembly

The options for a creative Minecraft user are quite numerous

He is now, and always was, a neoliberal. He just aligned himself to blue politics for a while.

[–] gravitas_deficiency 10 points 4 hours ago

It’s not surprising, but it is disappointing. He’s showing his true allegiance, and it’s not to a political party. It’s to a socioeconomic class, and that socioeconomic class is “rich people”.

I’ll try spinning! That’s a good trick!

From where I’m standing, it looks a whole hell of a lot like the Democratic establishment players are handing power directly to Republicans to rule completely unopposed, so I’m really not sure what your point is.

I hope he tries to steal something in front of one of their police

So in cooking, I tend to do this sort of thing all the time, but not in a dumb way - for example, when I roast a chicken, if I want a more Asian spin on it, I’d sub out my usual herbs de Provence + fresh parsley/sage/rosemary/thyme for chili crisp, ginger, sambal olek, minced Thai basil, and a bit of cilantro, or something like that.

But in baking, there’s actual chemistry involved with almost everything, so you do not want to fuck with that unless you actually know what you’re doing..

Societal tendency to just forget bad shit after the generation the bad shit happened to mostly dies off is… a consistently problematic and frustrating trend through modern history

I’ve been prescribed one stimulant or another for most of my life.

A few years back, a friend offered to let me try some Columbian dancing powder. Did essentially nothing for me. Gave it another try about a year ago. Same result.

It is a complete waste to offer me that shit. For me, it’s literally just unregulated ADHD stims that might be spiked with fentanyl if you’re unlucky.

The “argument” was that the idiots who enacted the tariffs without understanding what tariffs are were trying to push the blame anywhere else, and pretty much everyone has clocked their bullshit

 

Sorry for the link from The Other Site, but I thought this was too good to pass up. This is attitude is one of the main reasons I love this city so much. When the chips are down, we don’t fuck around. No tolerance or quarter for fascist bigots.

 

Honestly, this is a fantastic insult

 

Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.

This definitely isn’t a ruleference to anything that may have happened recently in the news

 
 

Edit: lol yeah, I deserve this, I teed it up rather magnificently.

Russian D-30 howitzer with anti-drone protection and ERA.

👀Russian D-30 howitzer with anti-drone screen and dynamic tank protection. Dynamic protection, in essence, is blocks of plastic that explode towards the cumulative stream of anti-tank ammunition and deflect it to the side. Placing this protection on anything other than the powerful armor of a tank is fraught with even greater damage to the “protected” object. Published by Balu.
