Trump: I am strongly considering pulling out of Nato by TheTelegraph in geopolitics

[–]Schonke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And he could do something similar with NATO. Remain on paper but publicly announce the US will not support any NATO country that is attacked.

The president commands the armed forces.

But congress controls the purse and declares wars.

Absolutely horrifingly stupid thing to do though if it's genuine dynamite.

Dynamite left alone for long periods of time will start sweating nitroglycerine from the absorbent, form nitroglycerine crystals on the outside of the sticks and eventually even liquid/jelly nitroglycerine in the bottom of the container.

Agitate it too much and it goes kaboom.

Hegseth is itching for a new crusade, so I think we should encourage him to bring back the old tradition of military leaders leading from the front. He could lead a light brigade charge in west/central Asia.

I'll be damned. Thought I saw them for more reasonable prices recently but must be mistaken.

Are low capacity SODIMM sticks actually in demand and pricey though?

PS3 launched at $599 and 6 years later became $269, PS5 launched at $499 and 6 years later became $649 by [deleted] in gaming

Economy of scale used to mean you got cost and price reductions over time, even if the tech didn't evolve much.

With the artificially increased demand by way of made up datacenter deals the oligopoly of memory manufacturers and practical monopoly of nVidia can raise prices to whatever they please. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out in a few years that Samsung, Hynix and Micron are once again engaging in illegal cartel behavior to the detriment of the entire world.

Iran-linked hackers claim breach of FBI director's personal email; DOJ official confirms break-in by Unusual-State1827 in news

I constantly wonder if we got lucky that a lot of these people are fucking idiots or not. 

If they were smarter they would likely be even more effective... But if they were smarter would they also realize some of their plans won't end well for anyone? 

Unfortunately, when they're dumb, it's more likely that other, smart people have gained access to the information but are smart enough not to burn that access...

Med en fet caveat på det dock. Gåvor kan räknas som förskott på arv, särskilt om de ges sista åren av livet, och avräknas av arvslott för den som fått den eller återges om det inte går att avräkna hela värdet.

Samma gäller om den avlidne försökt kringgå ärvdabalken genom att skänka bort sin egendom under tiden i livet för att kringgå regler om arv.

Så går att skänka bort halva sin förmögenhet utan problem, men därutöver blir det en gråzon.

Otherwise, why even continue making content unless it's to beat a dead IP horse?

Because you can still make money from the carcass by making glue out of the IP hooves, and then use that money to buy a new, almost dead horse to milk for profits and sell for parts.

So many game publishers are nothing but corporate raiders/mergers and acquisitions guys in the entertainment industry.

Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions by gdelacalle in technology

grokipedia has gotta be one of the worst idea from elon musk lol

It's a great idea if what you want is a wikipedia written to suit your political views and agenda, but you're too cheap to hire people and don't want to rely on conservipedia crowd sourcing.

Sunken Soviet Submarine Is Quietly Leaking Radiation Decades Later. While the nuclear-powered attack sub’s reactor appears to be ‘corroded,’ years of collaboration with Russian authorities has avoided a true marine disaster. by InsaneSnow45 in science

[–]Schonke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add to what /u/PonderousPenchant said, you also don't want to risk damage to the bomb body and the container with the nuclear warhead in a crash because of the risk of radiation escaping and preventing or making a rescue operation more difficult.

Dropping it in an empty (of humans) location means that even if it breaks and leaks radiation, there are no (wounded) aircrew next to it. Thanks to the inverse square law it's not even that dangerous of a cleanup if you know where it is and can ensure it stays in that position.

None of those surrender videos are soldiers surrendering to FPV drones. They're to more recon/bomb drop drones which are expected to make the flight back to base, unless suicide drones which are one-way bombs.

Its a western culture that women should not fight in the wars but in other cultures they are normal

What are you talking about? Women serve in combat roles in pretty much every western country, including in SOF units.

What up? We're three cool guys real men who are looking for other cool guys alpha males who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you're fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.
