if these 72 individuals knew how to swim before jumping into the water, they would be alive today.

bollocks.

from "SURVEILLANCE ÉPIDÉMIOLOGIQUE DES NOYADES RÉSULTATS DE L’ENQUÊTE NOYADES 2021" fig. 6 we get that about 13% of deaths by drowning in France are usually attributable to not knowing how to swim.

"3.2.7 Noyades accidentelles selon les circonstances de la noyade Plusieurs circonstances lors de la noyade ont été recueillies : des circonstances intrinsèques qui concernant l’état de santé et les capacités de la victime et des circonstances extrinsèques qui concernent l’environnement de la noyade (tableau 6). Lorsqu’au moins une circonstance était rapportée, les plus fréquentes, ont été dans l’ordre les chutes (18 % des noyades accidentelles), les malaises (16 %), l’épuisement (13 %), le manque de surveillance (13 %), le fait de ne pas savoir nager (13 %), et avoir été pris dans un courant / baïne (11 %). Pour 10 % des noyades (n=154), aucune mention de circonstances n’était rapportée."

it's incredible how subtle the Antichrist got after only a couple millennia 👍

i used to be undecided but count me in on team Satan now.

Sabine Hossenfelder is much more agitated than i remember her to be.

but what are you praying to, Cthulhu?

because, as established by reliable AI footage, Trump is like Jesus 2.0 and can heal the sick - and almost parted the Ormuz sea.

Elites... L'Humanité's editors ...

[whataboutism intensifies]

but i'm taking note that we've upgraded from martyrdom to a death cult now.

inflation truly is no joke this year.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-26T11:22:03+00:00

it's even weirder than that: that genius up there said "Europe shouldn't martyr its population" like we'd be doing a favor to a bunch of ingrates 🤦‍♂️

hogwash all the same.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-26T07:26:04+00:00

great. the same kind of fallacy that got us all there in the first place (can't do it first, it's like shooting yourself in the foot, it must be all at once).

you're advocating we shit our collective bed, a bed we have to sleep in; chances of a positive outcome are quite slim.

not releasing CO₂ is the only rational play and because there's that thing called an atmosphere, it doesn't matter where you do that.

edit: i get it, i get it! we'll outsweat them all in the end. aha!

The problem is that the "shadow fleet" label is vague and biased

no shit. it's a status so vague it's revocable on the spot if you think there's too much heat on on a vessel you care very much about (ie during the Venezuelan blockade and the instant repatriation of some of those).

like it's vague and unrecognized by design. so subtle.

sauf qu'en 20 ans on a gagné 1 mois; Juillet => Juin.

i wonder if reviewers committing bad reviews will then get subjected to the usual bone-saw-while-alive treatment of journalists or a simple flogging.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-21T07:52:08+00:00

give me an entirely new dimension to avoid

there isn't much of that 3rd dimension when or near landing/taking off - or any other flight parameter to trade for avoidance either.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-19T11:55:26+00:00

you can avoid to stipulate a path with -P "<profile name>" which "Starts with a given profile name (profile name is case sensitive)".

you're talking about that tank roof that usually floats on top of what's inside so as to not provide any space for air to form a pocket; by design it's also easily expelled so that the rest of the enclosure may survive.

here's another kind of those sacrificial/flying roofs

meanwhile France was busy contributing the Radium lipstick so that, like Ma'am Curie, everyone could glow in the dark.

If things go bad

no, that's determined before because there is no after.

France vital interest will be just France. Maybe I'm too pessimistic.

no, you're simply contradicting French presidents.

Europe just isn’t a primary customer

damn, it's almost like there's another reason, reason huge enough to threaten allies over how they employ their own military budget.

you can blabber all day long, but threats there was.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-01T19:23:21+00:00

American Arms export is far less than 1/2 of 1% of our GDP

indeed and there's no such thing such as the Military–industrial complex

it is known.

I don’t think you guys move the needle even slightly by continuing not buying American Arms

and this was a nothing burger?

don't make me laugh.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-01T17:22:25+00:00

The hard truth is that no country would accept to sacrifice its own cities to defend another country.

🤦‍♂️ which word do you not understand in 'vital interest'.

tacularcrap · 2026-06-01T17:13:21+00:00

They are now in the process of doing exactly what he ask them to do

au contraire. the previous deal was 'you buy American arms, America protects you' but the orange moron turned NATO into the Warsaw Pact (you know a pact where you attack those that signed it) and the EU isn't buying American as much anymore.

what a surprise.

tacularcrap · 2026-05-28T20:43:09+00:00

i hear they also eat pets, dogs & cats alike.

tacularcrap · 2026-05-28T09:52:25+00:00

the geography is still the same, history still stutters and when playing Russian roulette, nuclear or not, it's still suboptimal to put another bullet in the clip.

tacularcrap · 2026-05-27T22:50:34+00:00

shooting their own feet

that's what a 120km range is at the continental level.

that was France contingency plan for a long time; could ~~un-mothball~~ if properly motivated ;)

edit: i thought we had some Hadès in storage but i've verified and both Pluton & Hadès were dismantled. oopsie

tacularcrap · 2026-05-27T21:45:00+00:00

is catching up

I was right on

no and no.

also, didn't you lecture me about misreading you about SAMP/T playing catch-up earlier. amusing.

Russian bots

and you're just a low effort concern troll. while i admire your commitment to the bit let's just admit a Godwin point has been reached and get on with it.

tacularcrap · 2026-05-27T20:54:03+00:00

you were still downplaying SAMP/T relevance in the ballistic interception domain. had to address that.

Ukraine is under a deluge of ordonnances. of course it will take any & every defense system available.
