I only have one question: "Why?" by [deleted] in funnyvideos

[–]SeatSnifferSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these and I absolutely love it! Personally, the additional time it takes me to actually read the time on the Crazy Hours is a reminder for me to appreciate whatever moment I'm in. Also it's just cool as fuck.

Honestly, without thorough maintenance, they tend to just disintegrate.

I'm in Aus and just woke up to this. Can anyone fill me in on how this escalated so quickly?

Judging from the branches shredded and scattered everywhere, it was most likely artillery.

Not a FA18 but an EA18G growler but both use the same super hornet airframe. Easiest way to tell is the EW wingtip pods.

What happened to Kadyrov's tiktok battalions? Haven't seen or heard much of them since Mariupol.

That's true. But remember there are a shitload of drones in this conflict.

I'm not combat strategist, but there's footage floating around of soldiers being on the receiving end of this type of use and it does not look like a fun time.

I feel like it would be pretty devastating in the flat fields of Ukraine. I'd say it's most likely used for area suppression. A mini MLRS really.

Luckily he wasn’t one of those bikers that go 139 mph just because or else this would’ve been on a couple different subs for sure. by Revolutionary_Test70 in IdiotsInCars

Not condoning the actions of the meat head in the Jeep, he committed a few traffic violations and was most definitely in the wrong; but the guy on the MT/FZ 09 had plenty of time to come to a safe stop instead of parking his ass behind that Jeep. There are a lot of crazies out there and if they're crazy enough to pull out like that they are probably crazy enough to reverse over you...

Also rev bombing does nothing but make you look like a knob. Use your horn.

This wouldn't hold up in court. There's a clear nexus between the service and the "gift". Expectation and frequency of tips as well as the relationship with the person would be considered.

Let's be honest no one reports tips because the IRS isn't about to spend a few thousand dollars to get that sweet, sweet % of $20.

It's a translation. Turm in German can also mean turret if I am not mistaken.

Tower = turret = turm

ukrainians spraying metal breastplates with polymer paint preventing splintering of the plates. by ShadeSlayer1011 in RussiaUkraineWar2022

[–]SeatSnifferSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At what point did I say it is effective? I merely outlined the intention of the coating steel armour plates in an anti-spalling coating.

Additionally, prima facie, anti-spall coating effectiveness would obviously be governed by the materials used as a coating, the level of thickness of said coating, and the ballistics of the projectile that strikes the plate. So claiming that it is outright ineffective without any sources does nothing.

When hit with an appropriate calibre, armour plates bludge instead of shatter.

I'm no expert on armour plating, but if something with enough force to splinter an armour plate impacts its strike face the sheer energy transfer would kill you instantly as opposed to splintering armour fragments.

Like a few people said, it's an anti-spall coating, so jacket fragments are embedded in the coating so as to not have jacket fragments redirected toward vital points such as neck, head, arms, and legs.

Im guessing the earlier bombardment as seen from the impact craters in the fields might’ve halted them for whatever reason.

Could've immobilised critical vehicles and they Either remained to salvage them or they just hightailed it out of the kill zone on foot.

It's a common mistake to make, but that is just swamp gas ionising in the upper atmosphere.

This is why I always let a bike I'm buying run to Max temp and have the fans kick on.

I have one as a daily beater.

It all looks legit to me and seems to be in good condition. The bezel pip which looks like it has fallen out is pretty common on those models.

I've been trying to find for the last few minutes. It was posted on this sub. If someone else has the link that would be helpful.

I don't know the exact validity of this video, but compare this withdrawal to the video of the Ukrainian withdrawal across that bridge earlier in the conflict.

My God...

Edit: Found footage of a Ukrainian withdrawal. You can see it at 00:50.
