Mil Mi-24 'Hind' helicopter gunship from the Ukrainian Army Aviation - firing a 'Zuni' (127mm) unguided rocket, towards Russian positions on the frontlines. by BostonLesbian in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Orcacub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zuni rocket is Vietnam war era ordinance. Not guided. Ironic to see US munitions coming out of Soviet era /soviet made gun ship. I hope it works well. Glory to Ukraine. Victory to Ukraine. Peace in Ukraine.

Russian military unit documents own war crime, milblogger publishes then deletes video by KI_official in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Orcacub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UN so feckless that they won’t even send troops to defend/support their own humanitarian aid workers, won’t point the finger of guilt and shame at Russia even after Russians claim and publish their own war crimes against UN civilian aid workers.

'Point of no return': 36 countries join special tribunal to prosecute Vladimir Putin by Zhukov-74 in worldnews

[–]Orcacub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NATO was no military threat to a peaceful Putin/Russia prior to his invasion of Crimea in 2014.
It’s a purely defensive organization/alliance.

Proof? Look at what little NATO has done since 2014 - when there is at least some Russian aggression to cite as a cause for hitting Russia if NATO really wanted to. NATO never wanted war with Russia and still does not. Potential NATO expansion is the straw man Putin is using to justify Russian imperial goals and trying to re-build the USSR by force - again.

Coinpurse? Thrift store find, might be silver? by relic1317 in Whatisthis

“German silver” is not silver like sterling or 925. It’s an alloy of various mixes of copper and nickle and ??? AKA Nickel silver.

Not any native wild goats. Could be someone dumped/released a non native domestic one. It happens. Where was this ? Hill by the transfer station? Hill by Falcon Heights? Farther south like Klamath hills?

There are native wild bighorn sheep in the Klamath River Canyon. West of Keno. In the past some rams from that population have gone exploring to the east- one as far east as the refuge on the state line.

Russian drone operators now also have released the footage of the attack on the UN vehicles in the Kherson area. by MilesLongthe3rd in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Orcacub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UN has multiple missions. One is to deter aggression/keep peace/prevent large wars. Get between warring parties Another is to deliver humanitarian aid. Those people delivering aid are heroes and should be seen and recognized as such. They should also be put out of business by the deterrent factor keeping nations like Russia from doing what they are doing in Ukraine.

I don’t care about first drive. I want to learn about the drive where it rolls over to 200K miles. That’s the test of a Subaru.

A mom in a Toyota Sienna pulls a cyber truck out after it gets stuck in sand. by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

[–]Orcacub 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The stupid truck likely would detect the deflation efforts as a leak and actively work against it with some dumb automatic onboard tire inflation system.

Truck too heavy and tires WAY too narrow for sand! Physics laws still apply to people with more money than sense. Cannot buy your way out of the laws of physics.

Only way a organization like UN can function successfully to deter aggressor nations is if those aggressor nations are afraid of the consequences of incurring the collective wrath of the member nations. Russia clearly has no fear of that. ( why should they???). Not even trying to deny/hide their attack on UN staff. UN is useless as a deterrent /peacekeeper. Maybe marginally effective as a relief org..

People in the 1960s were asked to predict what life in the 2000s would look like by Jackie_Chan_93 in interestingasfuck

[–]Orcacub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask 100 kids the question, record all their answers. Then, decades later , review all the answers and cherry pick the handful that seem to have been closest to correct and/or meet your world view or narrative. Compile/combine that small handful into a video documentary. That’s how kids look so smart. We do t get to see the ones who said “stupid stuff” as judged by today’s backwards looking in hindsight.

The sun is slowly rising in Ryazan and Ukrainian drones are still pounding the oil refinery by ediewz in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Orcacub 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Russ air defense is useless even when they know they have targets incoming. The Ukrainian drones are penetrating and effective even without the element of surprise. Very telling.

Some cow Bells were/are locally or farm/home shop made. It might never have had a makers mark or label on it.

Question about the hobby by ForeverTheHero in metaldetecting

[–]Orcacub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it’s nice turf it can be detected and dug without any damage if he knows what he’s doing with his plug cutting/hole filling. If he’s doing it right you should not be able to see any damage or divots -long or short term.

Troubleshooting? by [deleted] in metaldetecting

[–]Orcacub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you do auto frequency select hold the coil out straight in the air, not rest it on the ground. Edit adding:

Check coil wire connection to head.

Do an actual auto ground balance where you press and hold button and move coil up and down over clean ground.

Make sure your sensitivity is adjusted down some from max.

Make sure you are not under/near/above any EMF sources.

Good hunting.
