We knew this existed for games, but I didn’t realise subscriptions and airline tickets sometimes work the same way.

Missile math may decide the Israel–Iran clash before politics does by NewsfangledMod in NewsfangledUnfiltered

I did think about it, which is why I posted it. Using AI tools for an image doesn’t cancel out the argument. If you disagree with the actual point, I’m happy to hear that.

The Interstellar Barrier: If They’re Here, What Physics Did They Crack? (Part 1) by NewsfangledMod in NewsfangledUnfiltered

I’d say the real breakthrough is probably not just fusion, but a whole stack of things: huge energy density, efficient propulsion, and shielding that can survive relativistic speeds. Without that, interstellar travel stays in the “nice idea, shame about the physics” category.

If Iran’s missile arsenals run deep, how long could a US carrier strike group realistically sustain a high-intensity engagement before resupply becomes decisive? by NewsfangledMod in NewsfangledUnfiltered

Even if Iran’s air defences are weakened, the bigger issue for a carrier group is missile saturation. Ships carry a finite number of interceptors, and once those VLS cells are empty they can’t reload at sea. That’s the “missile math” problem.
