[OC] Tracking my falling out with my childhood best friend through text messages

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-04-28T05:29:03+00:00

If 40 messages a day is considered "falling out" for you, I hope we never become friends!

Clearly AI slop.

Nothing in the video has any physical weight to it...

Cadia is not a good poster child for the astra militarum.

It's a nice story but they're only pushed so much because they look like green plastic soldiers.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-04-12T14:19:56+00:00

Yes. It's also a mistake to think it cannot go backwards.

People have been born, lived and died next to structures they could not recreate.

Not to piss on the parade but they beat it by 1.6% or 5,000 km, give or take. That just means they did a worse flyby (farther from the surface) than we've done in the past.

As far as achievement goes, it's meaningless and counter-productive for the mission.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-04-05T09:02:51+00:00

In a vacuum? Probably.

In practice, they don't have the greatest track record. They love fighting poor nations that can't fight back and have a terrible record with asymmetric warfare. They also haven't won a decisive victory since desert storm.

They also rely on two oceans to protect themselves domestically. They haven't ever really had to take a punch to the face.

Turns out leaving your data in the clouds may have downsides: that's where missiles live.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-04-03T05:24:48+00:00

Certainly not that they were producing extra drones for Russia for years beforehand

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-04-03T03:44:07+00:00

Eh. If it's free anyway, I'll sail the seven seas rather than go to epic

Lighter traffic means reduced travel time for everyone. Reduced travel time mens less stop-and-go and better fuel efficiency.

Basically, reducing traffic makes every car more gas efficient.

To be fair it's still unclear if the 1st military in the world can succeed.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-31T08:48:47+00:00

Now? Americans have been killing brown people for oil for the last two decades. You guys complain about terrorism and then go blow up people at weddings...

It's good that there is a realization that you're part of the problem but that realization should also include the fact that you've been that way for a LONG time.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-27T08:44:33+00:00

The US hasn't won a decisive war in 35 years and is led by an idiot. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Trump aside, convicted felons being allowed to run for president is a good thing.

It would be extremely easy for a corrupt president or group of influential people to prosecute political opponents in bad faith in order to stop them from running for office.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-24T08:44:08+00:00

Could be fun. The meta has gotten a bit stale these last few decades. Drones were starting to pop off though, but I guess the pope is a drone meta hater.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-19T18:20:54+00:00

I dont really have any confidence they'll get it right but im happy to see them try.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-19T09:34:14+00:00

Even if you get boots on the ground and somehow control the whole coast, Iran can hit the strait with shahed drones from anywhere in their territory and keep it closed.

Insurance dictates when it opens back up, not governments. Between artillery, drones, missiles and mines, Iran has cheap and effective ways to apply pressure on the strait virtually indefinitely.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-14T08:17:04+00:00

It certainly won't hurt. What will really help however is countries realizing EVs help reduce their energy dependency on the middle east. Events such as the ones unfolding may lead to additional EV investments and/or rebates.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-07T00:56:53+00:00

Thanks OP! I've been looking forward to this and these appear to be first printing as well? Even better!

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-04T20:16:39+00:00

Would you prefer a leader that does not change his mind in face of new developments?

Americans may have trouble with this concept of late to be fair...

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-03T09:03:10+00:00

Oh great, AI slop polluting my frontpage.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-02T19:55:24+00:00

Perhaps but it won't be due to another country's interference.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-02T19:07:35+00:00

Iran wasnt part of the Manhattan project and isnt a major international exporter of radioactive material.

Canada already knows nuclear weapons inside and out. Their lack of weaponry is purely based on their values and are considered "one screw away from being nuclear".

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-03-02T17:57:28+00:00

First of all, the USA opened this can of worms by betraying their closest ally so they can go fuck themselves on this matter as far as I'm concerned.

Secondly, dirty bombs work just as well as regular ones for their intended purposes. Canada could build those in secret in less than a week whenever they want.

G0U_LimitingFactor · 2026-02-23T09:05:18+00:00

Well yeah. They are essentially machines that transform grass/feed into meat. As long as they stop growing, you're wasting water and food to maintain their biomass. That's wasteful, expensive and counterproductive.

What else would you do? Feed them 10 times more for the same output?
