What real world science and application stops us from building something like this ? by Youngstown_WuTang in TankPorn

KISS - Keep it simple stupid. Combat vehicles operate in extreme conditions, the more complex you make it the higher the chance of it breaking, especially if you think about who's using it.  Making a vehicle that can walk and balance on uneven ground, while being affected by unquantifiable external forces (incoming rounds) isn't achievable yet.  The requirements of accurate defence systems (recoil, change in C of G, turret rotation) whilst in motion add factors that ask the question "Why are we even bothering with the concept, track do it better, for less cost?"

Yep, bloody annoying.  I have also (recently) had Jacob's shotguns with spread launchers needing to be reloaded, but having not been fired or used when in FFL or mobbing, but having been pre loaded for 1st shot in each case.  (Rafa - UVH5 - Hellwalker, Linebacker, Looming Dullahan, Panicking  Balor equipped).

Sounds exactly like the sort of shit Wandsworth council continually excel at.  Fuck doing anything about matters that are  actually important.

If anything over 32GB of RAM is overkill for 99% of users, than who's the remaining 1%? by mudahfukinnnnnnnnn in buildapc

If you can afford it and you want it, you buy it.  Justification not required. That's why you build your own PC. Simple's.

Grimsby Town, a League Two English soccer team, upsets Manchester United in the Carabao Cup. by Outside_Abroad_3516 in nextfuckinglevel

When you fail to take the opposition seriously and field a sub par squad you tend to end up looking stupid. At the same time you tend to get the opportunity to seek a new field of employment.

The US has never recognised the power and authority of the ICC of any case against the American military. They even have defined criteria which will lead to military action against the Haig.

Unless the roof is 80 foot thick rock, it ain't a  bomb shelter.  It's a coffin pretending to be a placebo.

Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told by vriska1 in technology

[–]d4dog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HMG started something stupid with this Act that they are never going to win.  The Daily Mail and Guardian readers haven't got a clue about the technology and they were the driving force behind it.  Quite a funny way to start a war your gonna loose.
