The real secret is how any military is able to be effective under the crushing weight of the bureaucracy it seems to build around itself.

I disagree. Being able to put a pilot inside a weapon and then have them fly, react, deploy and return is a lot better than building stacks of drones and then just hitting a wall of RF jamming, which will soon be everywhere on the battlefie

Well, the Chicken tax chicken tax chicken tax point is worth complaining about. I feel like there'd be a titanic shift in US pickup market if they could get a Hilux.

There's a fun youtuber called vagabond, who train hops around Russia and Europe. He had a video showing buildings build on permafrost. They lift the buildings up off the ground so none of the heating heat touches the ground and weakens

Ryobi havn't changed their battery shape since the 90's. They've been like a rock. But yeah the red tools are nice. Same parent company aswell.

Man can you imagine if the EU got all the tool manufactuers standardise on battery type. They'd get one last hurrah with a battery shape then the worst problem in owning cordless tools would be solved. Personally, I suggest they adopt

I find the branding of 'nanny state' really odd. And I can't really think of much you can't do here outside of fireworks and guns, and even then just go to a rural area. Maybe it's just me, I guess there's a lo

You usually don't get jay walking tickets in Australia. So most people just make adult decisions about their safety and manage for themselves.

I'll say the quiet part outloud. It doesn't work. Military, Health, Social Services, Justice, Power Generation, and Regualtion are all things that at their core function should be done by the state at a cost to taxpayers (in a pr

I just read it carefully and put the clangers into chatgpt for some suggestions on different approaches. There's a mix of Perl, old PHP, Aspx and mssql plsql all interacting. So it's less about getting it to do all the work, and

Everything is fine. From time to time the town square has had riots, been made brick dust by war and been really peaceful and fun. Swings and round abouts. Lets just warm ourselves by the glow of 44Bn dollars burning right now.

I don't think Zuck is that clever or ahead of the curve. He built a giant social network that had guard rails, ie fill in the profile, rather than build the website (myspace). And as a consequence has ridden first mover advantage for t

The stinger works great against drones and cruise missiles. Whilst Vitebsk-25 may be on choppers and fixed wing aircraft, It won't be on Iranian drones. And having stringers take down the small stuff makes using the Patriot System most
