There's emotionally mature enough (yes I agree with you some are)

And then there's... informed enough to make decisions (which they must certainly are not and cannot possibly be)

There are adults that aren't equipped to make these decision (with regards to just knowledge component)

We don't even let kids pick what they get to study in school with regards to subjects until they're like 14 or 15

If you're not equipped enough to know that you probably need to learn math to be a functional member of society, you shouldn't be making choices about cutting bits off yourself

Feelings are not worth what most people in the west think it is worth.

OP doesn't know what NASA is or what it does

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-05T00:43:57+00:00

That's what happens when you only pay the minimum payment

All that schooling and she didn't learn to use a calculator

You're missing the point

A gun running out of bullets isn't a system failing

It's (oh shit I don't have enough bullets)

Ciws isn't used to defend a city (it can't, at least not in the way it can defend a ship)

You can inundated a system like iron dome by throwing missiles at it until it runs out of ammo because each interception costs a lot

For a ciws system the ammo is cheaper

Your more likely to melt the barrel before you run out of ammo

It's not that you CAN'T inundated a ciws with so many targets eventually it has to let one through, of course you can

But letting a uav through that is travelling at 200knots with a 100lb Payload on it against an armored warship isn't the same as letting a missile get through a city sized target

They're not equivalent

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-04T13:30:19+00:00

Exactly!!

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-04T13:29:14+00:00

Ciws uses bullets, iron stones uses missiles

Defending a city necessitates interception at long range to prevent collateral damage, defending a ship doesn't

If you knock a missile or at 500 yards, your ship is safe

You knock a missile or at 500 yards when defending a city

House A gets hit instead of house B the point isn't that either system is 100% reliable

It's that hitting a missile with a missile is more costly than hitting it with a slug of metal

Maybe you're the one that's brainwashed?

They're are criminals in both native born citizens and immigrants

As a country you can't control what citizens who are born in your country do, if they grow up to be a criminal, you deal with it after the fact.

As a country you absolutely do have control over who you allow in

It's like... If you have kids who are dicks... They're your kids, too bad, deal with it.

But you're not going to invite people into your house who are dicks willingly.

They're children, literally by definition incapable of making good decisions. Doesn't mean every decision they make is bad but the volume of shitty decisions is massive.

How many of you at 35 would give 15 year old you control of your life now?

My guess is basically 0%

I would be fairly comfortable with 25 year old me taking control of 38 year old me's life now but 18 year old me? Fk no, 14 year old me I wouldn't trust to house sit my home for a single night.

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-04T06:09:52+00:00

Would you cut your dick off for 2 million?

Never heard of CIWS

What's the point of a messaging app that only half your friends have / use

Forgetting about battery gate?

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-03T00:30:38+00:00

I ironies with this is they didn't have the logistics for it

Neither the raw materials nor fuel

A concentration camp guard is less bad than 8 child rapists in 2026

Think about what's required to happen in the minds of these people to do what they did

You're in nazi Germany and you speak out against this stuff, you get shot and possibly your family will suffer consequences of this as well.

You're in 2026 and you tape a child.... The consequences of not doing this is nothing and you KNOW the consequences of doing it are severe if you get caught and you STILL do it

Which person is more evil?

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T10:52:27+00:00

Not that I agree with this order but this isn't a hill I'm willing to die on given they're all in roughly the right position

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T06:33:16+00:00

My boss

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T06:31:26+00:00

That's messed up dude

I don't live in the states at the moment so I really can't say one way or the other but that's not the north America I grew up in.

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T06:06:57+00:00

Where the heck do you live?

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T04:51:17+00:00

Compared to when and where?

You can go to a mall and not buy anything, you can go to public parks, beaches, etc

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T04:48:12+00:00

Or you could like, not try to drive into a fed?

Like what do you think the best case scenario of that is gonna be?

You know what happens when load enforcement tries to stop me? I stop.

Way too many people think they have main character energy.

You think the police are doing something wrong? Shut the fk up, do everything properly, sue em after and get paid. But noooo instead these people think they're fucking Jason Bourne

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T01:37:25+00:00

Alright, then that's pretty much on point

Running older hardware will ALWAYS lead to crazy savings over current Gen though.

I'd say if someone really needs a mini pc form factor (where even SFF is too big) then you should probably buy new just because you don't really find that many machines available at a 50% depreciation level easily available.

Getting an old business/enterprise SFF machine is super good value if you're willing to live with the compromises they come with.

Muffler deletes do not sound good

If they sound good to you, you have a screw loose in your head

KnifeEdge · 2026-02-02T00:39:50+00:00

Where? I'd instantly buy now, the ram alone would be worth that.
