The rental economy calls to us and we must go…

Hmm, some part of this seems wrong…

The lower picture looks like RIM-7 Sea Sparrow with the wingtips unfolded, but this missile has a ground launching system so there shouldn’t be an issue.

The upper picture is definitely probably RIM-162 ESSM, not RIM-7, and afaik does not have a ground launcher so it would require some kind of adaptation.

*Edit: on closer look, the fin design in the upper picture doesn’t match anything made by the US. I think the missiles pictured here are actually 9M38M1:

The BUK launcher is designed to carry these missiles, so the upper picture is probably just a generic picture of a BUK with missiles loaded, not specifically one that Ukraine is using with US-supplied Sea Sparrow missiles.

Therefore, the reporting on the supply of RIM-7 to Ukraine is probably correct but they wanted to use it with a self-propelled launcher rather than the trailer launcher.

Edit 2: I found a picture of what looks like RIM-7 tubes mounted on a BUK platform:

But the source is a .ru website, so I’m uncertain of the authenticity:

There’s some interesting discussion on retrofitting mobile launching systems in that article, but it seems mostly speculative as to what might be done and I don’t know whether the picture is a real system or a photo edit done as an example.

Well that’s not very environmentally friendly.

Can’t we use a brushless DC instead?

“It’s worse than you thought.”

“This is gonna be bad.”

Going for the direct approach in the trailer. I can appreciate that.

Hahhh… well really, the only way to test backups is to try to restore from them. VMs are extremely helpful for this - you can try to restore a VM mirror of your production system, see if it works as expected, wipe it and start over if it doesn’t.

I object!

White men voting for trumpism is also the issue.

I second this - virtualization is the easiest way to branch out and try new things. You can keep the working system you already have, and also experiment with other systems.

A further advantage is that you can run services in separate VMs, which helps if you need isolated contexts for security, privacy, or stability reasons. And, if you break something while you’re learning you can just delete that VM and start over without affecting your other working services.

What does this have to do with the USA?

This is probably just a regurgitated comment scraped from somewhere on reddit.

• a few git repos (pushed and backup in the important stuff) with all docker compose, keys and such (the 5%)

Um, maybe I’m misunderstanding, but you’re storing keys in git repositories which are where…?

And remember, if you haven’t tested your backups then you don’t have backups!

A lot of EMTs work 24-hour shifts, and 48-hour shifts are not uncommon. The thought that the ambulance driver on the road next to me might be at hour 46 is… frequently worrying.

The problem isn’t the EMTs being incompetent, the problem is with the industry standards and the employers.

kompromat, comrade

Correct:

Yeah but where you gonna park it?

You sir are in luck. The Daimler Ferret can be had for about US$40k and is street legal in many places, though I expect the maintenance cost is prohibitive.

There are many variants, with and without the mounted turret:

It’s small enough (tiny, really) that you can park it in a 1-car garage, and they were widely sold so there’s actually a lot of them on the market. You can literally have this as a personal vehicle, for less than the average US annual income.
