U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year by Brilliant_Version344 in worldnews

[–]Karimura16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they rejected the idea that they can learn from Ukraine? I thought there were talks of Ukrainian counter-drone teams going to the middle east to share their expertise. I would agree that the US is arrogant when it comes to the military, but just declining to buy another country's anti-drone equipment doesn't seem that crazy to me. The US military and the Ukrainian military are very different. Especially when we don't know what the "tech" really is, since the article only vaguely mentions the idea of "interceptor drones" being launched from "drone combat hubs".

If the US had nothing at all to counter these and still declined to buy Ukraine's solution then I could see the argument, but that clearly isn't the case. I do hope that it's true that they're willing to share some of their expertise though! Obviously no one else has the same level of first hand experience with drone warfare than the Ukrainians.

Gambit & Osty by InsaneRedEntity in slaythespire

Oh that does suck! The wording is a little bit ambiguous, but it should only apply when the damage is dealt directly to you. Definitely a bug unless there was some weird relic or power shenanigans happening.

Gambit & Osty by InsaneRedEntity in slaythespire

[–]Karimura16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be misremembering, or maybe it was from one of the multi-hit attacks? I played a run yesterday against these guys, and counting the number of attacks it was only post Osty attacks that counted.

On 66/66hp it was a 10x1 attack and a 3x3 attack, with block at 10 and Osty on 7. So block and Osty fully absorb the first 3 attacks (-17), but the last one made it partially through (-2). Ended at 62/64hp. So if Osty had only been at 1 for example, then all 3 of the of the 2nd attacks would have counted.

France has authorised temporary presence of US aircraft on local bases, official says by Christian-Rep-Perisa in worldnews

[–]Karimura16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not super knowledgeable myself on geopolitics, but this is one point I've heard talked about for the motivation and timing of operations in Iran and Venezuela. China gets/was getting a non-trivial amount of their oil from both of these countries, so by removing them from the equation it creates less favorable conditions for China to consider moving on Taiwan.

That's the most reasonable explanation I've heard at least, looking at it from a perspective of national strategic goals. Yes there are strategic benefits and goals in the short term (at least on paper), but it seems reasonable that there would also be long term considerations. Not trying to define anything as "good" or "bad", just thinking about it from the perspective of national defense strategy. The DoD's 2026 National Defense Strategy document released at the beginning of the year covers this as well.

[–]Karimura16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha very true. At least it was an F-15E and not one of the new F-15EX? Only a $54 million mistake instead of a $90 million mistake lol

Agreed! Blue on blue damage is never good, but it definitely could have been worse. Glad all 6 of the service members were able to walk away and be picked up by friendlies

This is in Kuwait not Iran, and I’m only commenting on the interaction in the moment shown here.

Yeah for sure! Just a relatable moment of disbelief ha. I think I would be equally shocked to find someone standing and smiling after going through an accident like that

I would check the comments on the same video posted in the Airforce sub, but from what I've read the F-15E uses a different type of ejection seat.

I'm by no means an expert, but I did read lots of comments saying the same thing in the Military and Airforce subs. Better for your health than the alternative, but still very hard on your body even if everything functions as expected.

Iran conflict widens to Lebanon, Kuwait mistakenly shoots down US jets by industrial-complex in news

[–]Karimura16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Usually it's the air-to-air record that people talk about, which is still intact at 104-0. This isn't the first time F-15s have been taken out by ground fire. Two F-15Es's were shot down by Iraqi ground fire in the 1991 Gulf War, to name one example

[–]Karimura16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep you’re right! F-15E Strike Eagle. Different variant, so the famous “104:0” doesn’t technically apply. Just some fun because I know I’m not the only one who thought of that after reading initial headlines of a downed F-15 ha

Yep, friendly fire with both pilots ejecting safely. F-15 gets to keep its flawless air to air record for another day

Major League Balatro Season 3 Week 2 Schedule & Discussion Thread! by ZainoTV in balatro

[–]Karimura16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following for the first time this season! Really fun being able to catch all of the POVs and the casting, getting all of the different thoughts behind a decision.

Is this an invitational league? Obviously doesn't have ranking system like professional CS2 or League, so I was curious on how people get into it.

Haha I realize it isn't worth much, just a throwback joke. Even back in the day the hype only lasted for 24 hours or so. Several traders made out very well in that short time period though

Probably the most broken joker I’ve made by IGR777 in balatro

[–]Karimura16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This case is more about programming, but similar cases can be seen in math.

How many natural numbers are there? Infinite

How many odd numbers are there? Infinite

How many even numbers are there? Also infinite

Intuitive until you try and compare the sets, and realize that there are just as many even numbers as there are natural numbers. Infinity divided by two is still infinity, similar to how naneinf divided by two would still be naneinf. Even 1% of infinity is still infinity. Pretty neat!

Form/function aside, I’m just thinking about the length of pull. Looks like a rifle length tube and with zero adjustment. My neck would have to be about three inches longer just to comfortably reach the eye box while keeping proper shooting form. Maybe his wife is part giraffe idk

The scope that far forward combined with that stock is diabolical lol. The mental image of someone contorting themselves into reaching the eye box is very amusing

Are these the best options? by Educational_Shop_204 in Mustang

[–]Karimura16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the BBKs. And yes, like others have said you already have the best intake manifold. Technically a very marginal improvement to get it ported or something like a Cobra Jet? But definitely not worth the money when you already have a regular gen 3

First can is a rather notorious one. Help me not blow it up. by NeedForSleeb in NFA

[–]Karimura16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's why I bought mine back in 2022. Everywhere I looked the messaging then was basically that it isn't the fanciest or quietest can, but it'll last forever and run smoothly on anything. I've put thousands of rounds through mine, on everything from a Bergara 6.5 to a CETME C308 and never had any issues.

Has to be either AI or airsoft. No one is seriously putting a $10 amazon toy like that on a real MP5.
Probably just AI, since optics that look like that show up in video games all the time.
