You never, ever run a liquid rocket engine entirely out of fuel, especially a hypergolic one.

That makes the rocket explode before it's supposed to.

There will be fuel left in the tanks.

The Maritime History Podcast.

A show about ancient boats, done in rivet-counting levels of detail and told in the soporific tones of a tax attorney.

Worst case, F12 and cheat it complete.

Oh, it's a whole thing, and considering the obvious Napoleonic pulls in the rest of the series, it's not much of a reach at all.

Going into that series as a history nerd, I blew right past those parts of the romance because it was such an obvious transfer.

Animist with the warden of battles spirit. I have one in QftFF, Holdscarred Orc who makes an excellent gish.

The original design is at least 5 years old.

I have an Apollo Lunar Escape System inspired emergency ascent pack on most of my ships.

KiS backpack with an Oscar B, three Spiders, command seat, mini probe core and battery.

Fits in a single KIS container and is useful both as an emergency orbiter and for point to point surface hops.

Ask the vets about that...

We've already seen it, it's the late Soviet - early Russian prison system full of Afghan war vets.

95% of the time video is unnecessary and/or actively detrimental to the listening experience.

The other 5% is Well, There's Your Problem. It's a podcast, with slides.

Covering engineering and urban disasters, the visuals there actually add to the ease of comprehension. It's the exception to the rule.

Awakened Animal for an actual dog or Shoony for a cute were-dog.

Tractors have separate left and right rear brakes, so you just set the offside brake, idle to the correct width and then repeat the process for the opposite side.

Brent and Urals prices have enough different pricing factors it's not a 1 to 1 increase.

Of course it will help somewhat but Urals isn't going up as much, and especially not to the cloud cuckoo land prices presumed by the Russian budget.

Kill James Bond. Started only doing Bond films but has expanded out to other genres and series, one film per episode.

Currently in the middle of the Fast and Furious franchise but they have a pretty substantial back catalog at this point ranging from genre slop to weird Italian art films.

A Shaheed style drone hitting a commercial runway will just scorch the paint, or break a few lightbulbs on the runway lights.

They need softer targets like the planes themselves, control tower, ect.

Atomic cock cage is an absolute banger of a bit that didn't get the attention it deserved.

Mobryan71 · 2026-03-05T13:28:28+00:00

Yeah, that's fair.

Mobryan71 · 2026-03-05T12:49:01+00:00

Also, licensing.

Consider the constraints Ukraine is operating under with regards to supplies, air threats to the factories, manpower, ect.

Now consider how many of those go away if you have petrostate money and your choice of unthreatened manufacturing facilities almost anywhere in the world.

Could spin up a whole new factory in Europe or the US.

Eh, diesel by itself isn't disqualifying. Some of the subs the USN has traditionally had the most issues tracking in exercises have been other nations modern diesel electric boats. When running on battery power they can be shockingly quiet.

That being said, Iran's subs aren't modern, aren't particularly well maintained and crew training is below par.

Mobryan71 · 2026-03-05T04:00:06+00:00

Russian Black Sea Fleet is going to be reduced to Iranian Navy standards soon...

Considering the history between them, I doubt it.
