James Earl Jones is being replaced by a decent impressionist. Darth Vader’s voice will be AI-generated from now on

I don't know about static nets, but several nations are looking into drone-carried nets. I wouldn't think it would need much weight to tangle up a drones engines. Would fish net work? Perhaps.

I wonder if we'll start seeing large nets as a defense against "suicide" drones? Perhaps around the power stations anyway.

Brain surgery is more common than thought.

Belgorod shooting: Gunmen kill 11 in attack on Russian trainee soldiers I'm not sure what to make of that, other than internal opposition manifesting itself. It seems counter-productive though if it was intended to counter mobilization.

Biden hails UN general assembly vote condemning Russia annexations in Ukraine For what it's worth.

At least here in WA state we're getting saturation bombed with political advertisements. It's to the point where we get a candidate attack on an opponent immediately followed by the opponent attacking the candidate. This is followed by another pair attacking each other before returning to the first pair. Somebody sure is spending a lot of buckaroos on this stuff. I've taken to just listening to music so I can ignore the repetitive political rubbish.

The problem there is (I believe) it would require the US to break off diplomatic relations with Russia, which isn't necessarily a good idea even with a brutal Putin in charge. Yes the Russian military is committing Nazi-like war crimes left and right, but some day this war will end and then what do we do? Better to keep a minimum lifeline open, I think.

Obviously a Dad.

I'm starting to think that this war may not end in a peace treaty, but in a Korean war-style cease fire. If Putin remains in power, then Ukraine will probably need to become a nuclear power again.

I can't really blame you because it is the same principle really -- translating angular momentum into linear velocity. It should be interesting to see what cargo can survive 10,000 g.

Yup, last Wednesday as it turns out.
