Project VENOM will see F-16s converted into highly capable drones (interestingengineering.com)

Would rivets do the trick?

The near future is going to be very interesting as drones become smaller and more swarm coordinated. I love the Trophy system (Trophy (countermeasure) - Wikipedia) for conventional AT weapons, but something like the Stryker Leonidas (Stryker Leonidas – General Dynamics Land Systems (gdls.com)) will need to be incorporated into armored brigades to handle the drones. Imo, lasers arent the answer. Maybe for ballistic/supersonic/cruise missiles, but not for drone swarms.

I wouldnt want to be a tanker in WW III. Lifespan measured in hours or days.

Finland officially becomes 31st member of NATO alliance - Breaking Defense

"Telehealth"? FFS, use the $50K and buy everyone a phone.

We did our taxes yesterday and got back a decent return. I was feeling froggy so I was going to upsize my gold purchase to a 2g bar, but then I notice a small link: "$500.00 minimum order in effect" due to some bank collapse, and now I couldnt buy it because it costs less than $500.00 and I didnt feel like spending that much. Goddamnfatcats!

Trojans.

Were going to need bigger tear gas launching drones.

Murder Mystery We watched it in anticipation of Murder Mystery 2 releasing today and it was pretty funny. I enjoy most of Sandler's movies and Aniston is still a total smokeshow. She must live in a hyperbaric chamber while not out and about because she hasnt aged in 25 years.

For some reason that edit hit me right in the funny bone and immediately reminded me of this scene:

Yeah same here. I cant remember the last time any Chicago public transit was improved. What do you think about the Alameda base redevelopment? Sounds like they are planning new residential areas there: Base Reuse - Alameda Point (alamedaca.gov)

You dont approve of BART? System Map | bart.gov We used it all the time when I was station at Alameda in the early 90's.

Blizzard has always been pretty solid for me. I mean, I think I remember getting stuck in a queue when Cataclysm dropped (holy moly theres 6 mores expansions after that! Sometimes I really want back in. ) and maybe a disconnection here or there. I think people object to the principal more than the performance.

See! California is right! We all need UBI (I can settle for less than $5M) and UFH ($1 houses). Im particularly interested to see what happens in the housing option. All the homes are already owned by fatcats, so unless more land rises from the Pacific ocean or San Francisco Bay, then they are going to have to seize the properties of the existing owners to redistribute them to the needy. Probably have to go full on eminent domain on their asses and give them pennies on the dollar of its worth. Hahahahaha, suck it, fatcats.

Speaking of which: I Gave ChatGPT an IQ Test. Here's What I Discovered - Scientific American

I just noticed...are his nipples pierced?

I mean, before ramming the MQ-9 down, they twice dumped fuel on it to try to down it. I was surprised when the Su-27 exhaust didnt ignite the fuel and burn the MQ-9.

I was surprised when that didnt happen when Russia attacked the MQ-9.

Kinda old post but you might be able to find him there.

I can count on one hand the number of times an "always on" connection has negatively affected me. Wild that you guys are crashing and burning every step.

I think they can just file for bankruptcy to avoid paying it?

Knock at the Cabin This is the first Shyamalan film Ive seen since The 6th Sense that I liked. Bautista is really growing on me as an actor too.

They should include all of their homeless in the plan too. It would significantly cut down on the amount of human feces on the streets.
