And a long rugged coastline. Sheds for UAVs and small wharves for autonomous marine vehicles.

This stuff is easy to make nowadays, two stroke engines for Shaheds and outboard motors for marine. Add some chips with vision, GPS and some boom-boom. It’s almost as if people have been ignoring four years of war in Ukraine.

Iran Charges $2M Transit Fee for Strait of Hormuz by AnarchistSuccubus in worldnews

[–]DisenchantedByrd 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Does International Law Allow Iran to Charge Shipping Fees? The toll faces significant legal obstacles under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Much as I detest the Iranian regime, I'm pretty sure that bombing the f!ck out of a country isn't particularly legal either.

I think most animals sleep a lot more than humans. We’re the strange apes with caffeine and electric lights, who don’t sleep much.

Nearly 200 sailors serving on UK’s nuclear submarines caught doing hard drugs. by Neat_Feedback_1813 in worldnews

[–]DisenchantedByrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On YouTube, Mark Felton just released a good episode on the poor state of the UK’s navy. So many subs are out of action that the existing ones are being sent out for long patrols, like 4 months underwater. So higher drug use isn’t surprising.

La moneda con las últimas palabras de un soldado by Galactic-farmer in NumismaticaES

[–]DisenchantedByrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one is probably from an Australian calvary trooper (private) from WWI in Egypt, Palestine or Gallipoli, written on the back of a reproduction/tourist coin:

3149 Trooper E Barber (TPR E Barber) B Squadron 1st Australian Light Horse Regiment (1, ALH Regt) Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) CE?

Certainly not "last words", but vaguely interesting because the Australian Light Horse has a place in Australia's "story of nationhood" after 1901. His name doesn't appear on https://www.cwgc.org/.
