Because of its geographical location, the city of Toronto normally enjoys a particularly mild climate.
In 1999, it declared a state of emergency and called the military to help clearing the snow after a pityful 40 cm snowfall.
The city was widely mocked by the rest of the country for such an overreaction over what everyone else saw as just an average snow day.
They wanted cluster bombs banned because they sometimes had the same effect unintentionally. Now they’re doing it on purpose.
The tank also legally requires a crew commander with functioning communications with the driver to help alleviate the blind spots if it is to be driven on public roads during peace time. At least in Canada anyway.
I think the better analogy is that he has set up camp on top of Mount Stupid and ain’t moving from it.
Looks like being rich and surrounding yourself with yes-people is the #1 cause of sitting confidently at the top of the Dunning-Krueger curve.
If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it’s already too late. And that’s if there aren’t any clouds.
A minimum amount of karma is required to start threads in many communities. I used to be subscribed to a community that didn’t have automated bot detection or a very active moderator and was being hit by bots posting ads to scam merchandise websites multiple times a day. Here’s what I observed.
These posts had a few dozen quick upvotes over the first few minutes of being posted along with a few comments from other bots shilling the ad after being posted. These shilling comments also received a bunch of initial upvotes as well, and then all slowly got a trickle of downvotes by real humans after. Real humans also commented to denounce the scam ads a few minutes later, some of which were also receiving a sudden spike of downvotes from bot accounts. The bots would eventually get reported and banned (only from the subreddit because Reddit themselves didn’t do crap about bots), and then this would repeat multiple times a day.
I’ve checked their post history and all of these bots were “dormant” and were farming karma by reposting content and copying comments in other subs and imitating human behaviour for the better part of a year before being activated and used to post ads.
This was only from a scammy merch selling website in a relatively small community and it employed a sophisticated network of thousands of rolling bot accounts, probably more than the number of subscribers the subreddit had. There are countless other bot operations on Reddit for advertising, scamming, astroturfing and propaganda purposes that might be even more sophisticated and difficult to detect.
I’ve also seen my own original content being reposted by a bot farming karma in another subreddit and I was shadow banned for complaining about it while the bot was allowed to do its thing where it went on using its karma to post propaganda.This is when I quit Reddit and never looked back at this cesspool of a site.
And all that was before AI text generation was viable. I don’t know if the majority of Reddit is bot accounts, but the number of bots on it is staggering.
He escaped! That’s what makes it spooky.
Knock a few pieces over and go find a warm spot to have a nap
Daring class destroyer. For the two people on the whole internet who were wondering.
That’s what happens when the vehicle commander forgets to make sure the barrel clears an obstacle the vehicle is about to drive past.
“Why is it called UMU if it is a Universal Wine Utility? … Oooooh, nevermind.”
There were far simpler caseless mechanisms devised. But the G11 fired caseless ammo, rotated it 90 degrees and more importantly had a burst mode where the barrel and magazine recoiled together continually throughout the 3 round burst, only returning to battery after the 3rd round was fired. That latter one added a lot of complexity.
I guess mobility isn’t as much of a priority when you’re defending a relatively small island
Do you want Zergs? Because this is how you get Zergs.
The same is true for the door panels of a 70’s car
This. This is how you tell that letting the job market “self-regulate” does NOT work.
Is this implying that they are being sent to war in their personal vehicles?
I want an accessory that clamps a hand grenade on the fiber optic cable that the drone is trailing and slides down the cable to explode next to the operator.
