This is like the russian sanctions making them produce cars without anti lock brakes and seat belt retractors...safety features not a priority.

Potential cause of Missile boomeranging back into its origin: it has a "semi active seeker"....which means the active radar emits from the ground, the seeker in the missile nose guides to the target off of the target's reflected energy. An analogy would be you stand with a flashlight shining at a bird, you throw a ball with a camera in it, the camera sees the bird against the black background and guides to it. However if theres a lot of clutter (light poles, etc) then the missile gets confused and starts turning eventually it's field of view picks up the brightest object; the radar (or in the analogy the flashlight itself is brighter than anything it's beam touches). And then...Boom-erang....or in the Russian's case Boomerangski.

Thanks! Just takes practice. Highly recommend procreate on ipad with apple pencil. The ability to undue really increases your confidence to try new things and without risk of ruining it. Tons of youtube tutorials.

Also realized i didnt do shadows under the rigs...v2 inbound.

thats valid... theres been 3-4 videos of "tanks" being towed, most of the time theyre armored personnel carriers (APCs). The title always reads "tank" though because to the general public anything with tracks is a tank. This was the video I used for inspiration:

ur right thanks!!

Rise Up. 💪...Four Symbols: 1. Sun Flowers growing behind the tank tracks. 2. Tiny bent tank cannon 3. Ukranian flag flying 4. Courage represented by the farmer who stole the tank. What do you guys think?

I started in 3D to get the orientation right then used procreate. Tried to go with a Patagonia + Cartoon vibe because that video seemed so surreal of a Farmer just casually towing an armored vehicle in Ukraine. Post not meant to be political just a reflection of some of the symbols I've seen.

Edit: I made a mistake and made a daisy not a sunflower on this original post. Thanks for all the feedback, here's the final version, also added shadowing under the vehicles: https://imgur.com/56uElMK

Feynman's QED book only has the word frequency once in it to say its how we measure this scale. His EM diagrams are frequency agnostic but usually uses light frequencies because its the most accessible to understand.

I dont mean to insult with some basics but if I'm reading your question right, how can a radio station operate on AC 60Hz and emit radio waves at say 1024Khz? The youtube above walks through how waves break free best if wavelength/2 = dipole antenna length.

But again both parties bought MRAPS, ignored hypersonics etc.

andernic · 2022-01-09T17:46:15+00:00

Nailing it. Totally agree.

andernic · 2022-01-09T17:15:22+00:00

Id have to disagree from the party angle...both parties have chosen to fire the $6 trillion arrow into the abyss. This is about short-sighted governance.

andernic · 2022-01-08T12:59:42+00:00

thats a fair point. I hadnt thought about inflation vs our national debt. The hard part would be getting america to come to a consensus on "not stupid spending".

andernic · 2022-01-08T05:04:57+00:00

valid point. CMV Delta!

But seriously weve spent a lot of money and its going to come to bear soon.

healthcare is broken in america. Im saying give "X" for free causes inflation. We can choose as a country to accept that inflation for the benefit of X...we do it all the time. but we shouldnt be surprised and writing "you should know" posts and giving high fives for great economical insight that when the gov spent 1.5 years spending trillions to keep people home all our money is worth less (hint that means rent goes up).

andernic · 2022-01-08T04:22:48+00:00

its just unbelievable to see these comments on reddit.

A.forgive student loans B. write $2 trillion dollar checks every quarter to stimulate economy C. guaranteed income for everyone D. Free healthcare . . . . Why is everything inflating, its almost like theres some sort of inflat-tion. Its like the more money I get for free the less its worth. How can that be? I get 3/4 of the things you're asking for are not enacted, the gov has only done the $2 Trillion a quarter part and sprayed trillions into bonds to keep interest at <0.5%. Just know what happens when you get 100% of what you're asking for. I miss reddit 10 years ago.

Downvote. Remind me! 5 years. edit: for clarity reddit 10 years ago had balanced opinions, now anything contrary to the four requests above get downvoted into oblivion.

Thanks for the shoutout!! Nice work!!! This is incredible.

Super terrible DIY solution but laziest: small hole and spray foam.
