Tanks aren’t about to go out of style, though. The goal is to not let anti-tank weapons in range of your tanks - as it has been since WWII, just moreso as time goes on. Maybe ditto for ships that aren’t Soviet rustbuckets crewed with drunks, although I think even that is in question these days.

Also, funny enough, the average weapon is getting more complicated and expensive as time goes on. At least for the West, a skilled soldier continues to cost more than whatever they operate, so survivability is worth it even if it means less volume.

Any jet is not the same as, like, an F-35. And even then you need to equip a lot more jets than western Donbas would usually see.

Sure, but I assume in some places parents (plural) will raise a stink about a kid that’s not theirs being allowed to not say it in the same room as their own spawn. Dangerous ideas, right? I encourage you to start shit if they make you, though.

I should clarify I’m Canadian, so this specific issue hasn’t come up, but I’ve seen similar things. For example, my local division has a policy, on paper, that pride flags should be flown in schools, but they often aren’t because the staff don’t like angry mobs.

I forget, did she keep the whole 4.5 billion?

TIL there’s a length limit for Lemmy posts.

It really should be a slam-dunk. The constitution isn’t unclear about separation of state and religion. At all.

I’m guessing the state knows this, but figured they’d get credit with the Gilead crowd for even trying.

High, high chance they wouldn’t have been encouraging. Reasons include their personal political beliefs and the fact they tend to care more about parent reactions than students, because guess which group they’re on equal footing with?

You’re welcome!

Same story with finding hidden Google datacenters.

I mean, they didn’t have zero role in it.

Fair turnaround.

It’s a stupid political label as long as our nastiest friends are worse than our nicest enemies. Nobody’s about to declare Saudi anything terroristic regardless of how many get chopped up, for example.

The American message is designed to get the Lebanese-based Shiite militia to back down and de-escalate the brewing crisis along the Israeli-Lebanese border, a person familiar with the discussions said.

I’m not quite sure that’s the right approach. It discourages brinkmanship, but also encourages them and Iran to go all-in since broader Israeli action is coming either way. Y’know, the way Iran didn’t with that rocket exchange, because the US seemed present and reasonable enough to negotiate with.

Per that study, anyway. I expect it differs quite a bit across industries, for one thing.

Greece gonna Greece, I guess.

Interesting! Yeah, I think in the right atmospheric conditions this could absolutely work.

Why it’s NCD, as drawn, is that shells already exist and do exactly this when fired on an indirect arc.

That’s interesting. A shorter week is the way things are trending, and seems to mostly offset the loss of total productivity with better productivity-per-time. I wonder if this will actually help anything.

Oh, it’s definitely marketing nonsense. The question is if they managed to hide a sane, usable product underneath it, or if they’ve added some kind of anti-user nonsense to prevent you from repurposing the button.

Unironically yes. If that’s not enough, add water.

Depending on how long you do it, how powerful the laser, and how quickly it can cool off at the same time.

And like the other guy said, you can make really good mirrors if you only care about one wavelength.

There’s no way the US is going to surprise invade, if that’s the hidden question-headline here.
