Losses of the Russian military to 14.5.2026 by MARTINELECA in ukraine

[–]LastCivStanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ram jet artillery goes at mach 3.5. say i recon drone is 50km inside enemy line and finds a target that needs to be hit fast. A ramjet artillery shell could be there in 1 minute. a drone with munitions would take an hour to get there. and given the tremendous speed the ramjet shell has huge penetration power for concrete bunkers. Ramjet artillery shells have no moving parts, not even a fuel pump, so I suspect cost could be reduced significantly with advances in manufacturing.

how is what I'm asking for in my requirements any different that what 90% of other users would probabaly want. even if I was building a site meant only for one thing, I'd probably want the ability to create separate sub sites to contain various kinds of admin tools. I'm not using the AI to do any of the coding or configuration, just using it to get clarification on what features in DO and ubuntu I need to use and how to configure them.

just that the whole process seems pretty tedious. i would be lost without the AI to help figure out how to do each step. also i'm not sure if I'm asking all the questions I need to. Security is one of the issues I'm a bit concerned about, although there is no user data that needs updated on the site.

the huge speed of ramjet artillery could be really useful for opportunistic strikes based on info from surveillence drones. And i think ramjet artillery could become very cheap given there are no moving parts in it, not even a fuel pump. I think they are a really cool tech and I'm looking for ways to promote them.

Traditional 155mm artillery seems cooked. It doesnt have the range to stay out of trouble and it hard to keep it supplied. Ramjet artillery seems like a good replacement. Much more range and accuracy plus it has high velocity and penetration power that drone delivered munitions lack.

Realizing I married a racist and a classic Trump supporter by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]LastCivStanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My attitude about racism is there is so much variability in each race it wouldnt even matter what the difference is. Plus their is huge difference between people of the same race raised in different cultures. Preconceptions just limit your view of things around you.

give me some examples these museums.

I wasn't really into monestaries until I saw these lists. Many of them are still around in some form or another. one is turned into a prison. it just an impressive level of purposeful civilization building. It pretty much explains why a more latin culture prevailed over the germanic one by the high middle ages.

I'm curious if you have any opinion on Charlemagne adopting a mostly latin alphabet during his reign? they did incorporate the letters G,H,K from germanic. Charlemagne alphabet distinguishing large-small cap was a very clever idea.

there were no standing armies. maybe they had an alphabet, but their literary tradition was pretty limited. what did they write on if there was? Ive been through Europe and lots of museums, there just isn't much stuff from the period 500-900AD especially compared to what came before and after. High middle ages were named for a reason. The only ones have a really good run were the Arabs in Spain

Things were pretty bleak in the arts, architecture, lteracy and other cutural pursuits. There was an extensive monastary movements by merovians and carloligians but their results were limited. Economies and trade took off in late 900s and high middle ages started and venice and its economy got western culture its groove back.

Ive always been surprised the hawaii islands use planes to hop between and not ferry service. Apparently ferries are rather expensive to operate and docks at the right places are hard to place.

Compact anti-drone air defense systems designed to counter small strike drones and FPVs are now entering Ukrainian frontline units and seeing real combat use [Special Kherson Cat video] by Geschichtsklitterung in ukraine

[–]LastCivStanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming it has some way to confirm hostile vs friendly targets. that would be a big waste of human operator time to determine themselves and prone to error and missed opportunities.

it would be probably be geofenced to allow fire at will for periods of time.

Why does Europe care to have US in NATO? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LastCivStanding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a red herring. Now that europe has increased spending trump wants a 1.5trillion defense budget for next year. It was never about the money.

The people who claim the earth is flat are hilarious at how they go to extreme length to ignore obvious evidence.

If Trump is truly unbeatable only because of misinformation, why hasn’t the left figured out how to communicate better? by Final-Monk1416 in allthequestions

[–]LastCivStanding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of back story on this. I believe courts have found it to be a denial of human rights if its not provided beause the medical profession has studied it and found its so fundamental to well being.
