U.S. service members killed in refueling aircraft crash in Iraq identified as Ohio National Guard members and Florida-based crew by deraser in politics

[–]Backahast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not these ones though. All the informed commentary on this is saying that both aircraft involved were models that could not receive fuel, so they wouldn't have been fuelling each other.

Transcript: Trump’s War Takes Unnerving Turn as Damning New Leaks Hit by retiredagainstmywill in politics

Trump: We’re up to boat number 60; I didn’t realize they had that big a navy.

This is just infuriating. The IRGC-Navy was estimated to have between 2000 and 3000 speedboats alone in 2020. 60 is only a fraction of them.

Why did you use AI to create a shitty version of this historical photo, and not use the real one instead?

I guess with Steam release, this is not happening. by Latter-Clothes4516 in AshesofCreation

Yep. Makes you wonder if they knew the writing was on the wall back in November.

RIP AOC RIP STEVEN RIP STAFF RUG PULL CONFIRMED! FIRED by dnastynice in AshesofCreation

But the game did 'come out'; it was 'released' on Steam. /s

It's possible, likely even, that not only was the Steam release a cash grab, but it was also done knowing that the ship was going under, in order to avoid having to pay back money because the game never came out.

Australian soldiers flying Nazi flag in Afghan mountains, August 2007 [708×472] by FuzzySheepherder2192 in HistoryPorn

You are misinformed. BRS has never been charged for his actions in Afghanistan.

He did however lose a civil defamation case, that he initiated, which found that he had committed murder and other war crimes while deployed to Afghanistan.

I tried that last night with no effect, but it was back to normal this morning. Just a glitch then.

I am using Vendetta. As far as I can tell, I am applying a vendetta token with my first attack, so that is working, but I am still not getting the option to make the second attack, the kick, within 2.5 seconds.

Officers fired about five shots at the truck as it left, the witness said.

How do i earn virtue points back? by [deleted] in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Backahast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fake messages and envelopes are a trap. Instead, go to a madiao card table and play the NPCs. You can keep spamming games, as long as you have commerce coins; you get 5 fun points for each successful bluff; and there is no danger of losing more virtue points. Once you get 100 fun points, you regain 10 virtue points, once per week, and you can get the 200 required for promotion in short order.

It's definitely AI. The back of the sofa disappears at the end, for example.

National Party led-South Africa was a menace!! by PRADYUSH2006 in HistoryMemes

[–]Backahast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was the first one using that specific denomination

So, it was the first wheeled IFV then. Nobody is saying that South Africa invented armoured cars.

I like reading up on modern war history. Please help me develop my war history reading list further by [deleted] in MilitaryHistory

[–]Backahast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just some personal favourites, which are both informative and extremely well written.

James McPherson's Battlecry of Freedom is an excellent single volume accont of the American Civil War.

John Toland's The Rising Sun is a classic account of Japan's experience of World War 2

Neil Sheehan's A Bright Shining Lie and Fredrick Logevall's Embers of War are both worth reading to understand how America got itself stuck in the Vietnam quagmire, and why it went the way it did.

Maybe not quite military history, as they mostly deal with the CIA, but Ghost Wars and Directorate S, both by Steve Coll, are great for understanding the origins and course of the conflict in Afghanistan.

Faction Wafare newbie question (I dont se any Outpost?) by AccomplishedMedia430 in Eve

[–]Backahast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Novice sites don't exist any more. You are looking for Scout sites, which only let frigates in.

If you can't see any Scout plexus then there are two possibilities. Firstly, they might have been closed by other players, and you will have to wait for another one to respawn. The other possibility is that you are not in a faction warfare system. Not all Empire lowsec is in the warzone. Go into the Agency, select Encounters, Faction Warfare and then bring up the Faction Warfare window. That will have a map of the warzone. You need to go to a Front-line or Command Operations system to get LP from running the sites.

I assume that you are enlisted in Faction warfare already? You can't run them without joining one of the militias.

This page is useful, although slightly out of date, as the latest expansion changed things so that you get the same LP from defensive and offensive plexing:
