At the scale of war, something purpose-built like this is helpful because it’s customized and standardized for exactly what they want it to do. But if it would really be that helpful for individual acts of terror, I think we’d have seen rudimentary versions by now. If terrorists haven’t been using RC cars or rovers already, I don’t think this is enough of a jump in tech to make them start.
Pixelated photos of Joe Rogan, wigs photoshopped onto Putin to make him look like a woman, and a claim that he is a nondescript bearded man who, in carrying out a clandestine operation, stood next to Osama in a published video? This is the stuff of crackpot dreams, like the video that went viral a decade ago claiming Osama and Obama were the same person.
Perhaps not the whole world, but I’m many/most countries, the larger structures, like government and business, absolutely are anti-intellectual. Nice to have an academic friend group, but that doesn’t change the fact that capitalism makes education less accessible in order to rely on an undereducated workforce, and then politicians push it even further for the sake of easy control.
I figure they may be able to compare flight plans with actual course and tell when a pilot is diverging from the planned route. Based on how they are diverging, it may suggest that they are trying to book it to Ukraine? Not sure if this is actually possible, but it’s the best way I can imagine them being able to tell, other than the pilot just disobeying immediate orders and heading for the border, which would be pretty obvious.
Interesting thought. Is there any indication that this or the other Su-35 shot down by friendly fire were potential defectors? The Russian army has displayed such astounding incompetence at different times throughout the war, my immediate assumption was that these were just two more, but the idea of defection seems not unlikely for much the same reason…
I use a chamois cloth, seems to pick up oil/smudges even better that microfiber and need less washing. Also super easy to wash when it does need it. I basically just cut a dollar bill sized section off a natural off-brand sham-wow and it works better than anything else I’ve used

Yeah that seems bad lol. I feel like there has to be an option in between $200(creami) and $7000(pacojet) that can avoid chunks of plastic though
Why? Not challenging, just wondering what the pacojet does that other machines can’t
No way, never. That’s just not who I am.
A “little bit” doesn’t begin to cover it…
Ah thank you, I’d somehow missed. Much appreciated!
But isn’t the comment from 2012? I didn’t know if there was a specific connection or reference in it
What’s the context for the capped 4chan comment?
I think he probably meant laserdiscs
Captain Kirk, you’re my hero
Hugely appreciated, just picked some up and can’t wait to try it out
Thanks so much. Just pulled the trigger on Crucial, now staring out the front door peephole til it’s delivered…
Awesome, thanks a ton!
Yeah it seems the preinstalled RAM is 2933 MHz, so I imagine that’s where my BIOS is capped and I probably won’t try to change anything. Just great to hear that a 3200 MHz stick will work with the 2933 in there now.
