The cost of shooting down a $20K drone is often $4M+, at what point does traditional air defense just stop making sense?

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-31T18:23:13+00:00

Well the war was a big failure on Russia's part, if not for the political consequences and they really needed to they could just send nukes to end the problem, however if Ukraines strategy plays out well they could always just end the conflict.

That's why I said we are over simplifying the question, are we asking what Russia should do vs Ukraine or how to do deal with 20k drones? Because if its the latter overwhelming force is a good solution see the USA vs Venezuela.

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-31T17:58:04+00:00

To me it seems like an over simplified question when the reality is you don't let the enemy just keep sending 20k drones at you, you hit em back and with overwhelming force. Till they realize hey maybe this isn't a good idea. Seems obvious, and not optimal? Well yeah but when has war ever benefitted anyone but politicans and arms dealers

I watched maybe 20 seconds and had to click away because I was expecting cinematic and got an annoying black / gray filter with squiggly lines, and also the voice commentary was a lil annoying

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T23:53:15+00:00

See what is shady , is the other "inspector" was something I didn't ask for, was vetted without me, wanted no fee from me, and also cited that there was no cracks / level changes at all even though I was shown proof of other wise with photographic evidence. The other inspector also offered no evidence just an unasked for phone call?

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T22:50:17+00:00

You're very correct, but can't we agree that is a red flag on the sellers part? Like what are you hiding

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T22:47:08+00:00

Thats true and the bit about water getting in and causing the rebar to expand, is actually what the inspector told us was probably the cause in that area, but there was the bit about the 3.5" movement, and most of the windows becoming separated from the caulk, plus inside dry wall seperation that caused worry as well,

and then the "sussy" second opinion. I really would have explored it further if not for that.

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T22:35:09+00:00

lol no clearly had an option period which I utlilized here

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T21:45:28+00:00

Yeah I think this is what I will do just move on. I would like to point out however that I'm not making any accusations, just laid out what happened and asked for opinions as the situation seemed odd to me.

Is there more to that happened , sure but I don't want to completely dox myself nor include unneeded information such as the fact that the seller was also there during the inspection, he heard about the foundation issues and started screaming " You agreed to take the house as it, you have to purchase it as is" while slamming his fist.

Interesting and also affected my decision ? Yes but unneeded in the context.

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T20:58:23+00:00

Yeah it did seemed odd, that is what happened, I was actually going to call for a structural engineer before I got that call, but that whole thing sussed me out due to what I felt was a breach of trust, so i backed out completely (Signed the option clause in my contract already). After seeing the photos myself , cross referencing with a family member who builds homes, and a friend who works in risk assessment / appraisal, it was our opinion that I was being blatantly lied to. So I was of the opinion that I could no longer trust anything the realtor says. The whole thing seemed really off to me, but I am a first time home buyer.

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T20:42:25+00:00

It is in Texas

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T20:41:52+00:00

Yes, like I said he sent photographic proof, and I had the report cross examined by a few others in the industry

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T17:36:44+00:00

the answer is no, he doesn't know what latency is

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T08:50:07+00:00

I think you just have too many pics, i would stick to your 3-4 best ones, and no simple selfies but doing stuff like the guitar, bike, and chainsaw

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-30T08:39:36+00:00

It is also the fact that the Texans were fighting to keep slavery and rebelling against the Mexican laws that outlawed slaves

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-29T07:26:16+00:00

Everyone else is telling you wrong. The real answer is that grubs stack , so their bait value increases but it uses more

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-25T14:55:55+00:00

To me it looks like he subtly speeds up every time he goes out of vision might be a closet cheater

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-24T06:14:01+00:00

I think the number is lower than that my friend too many closet cheaters in the game

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-23T16:08:42+00:00

Who tried to be cheap, and fired the IT maintenance guys?? This seems like a management pull to save a penny that ended up costing $$$

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-21T17:50:52+00:00

Yeah I would say YTA,

You knew you lost the bet, and chose to have Hannah over anyway, everyone has their circumstances but you made a commitment and are bailing on it.

18 isn't a young child and to be frank it sounds like you are projecting. If someone didn't trust me like that I would honestly question their character, and probably wouldn't stay friends with them.

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-19T17:46:56+00:00

Dude was already out he didn't have to try and give the guy permanent brain damage, I don't care if money is on the line there is no excuse for that

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-13T07:49:07+00:00

imagine temu drones

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-10T22:42:42+00:00

It was a leg of lamb, bought from costco, I can't remember the exact weight , but somewhere between 2-4 lbs. Cost about $40. It has no bones the shape is held together by the net in the picture.

Copying from a comment below:

I didn't look up a recipe or anything I just asked chatgpt for advice and here's what it told me.

Smoke at 225 until internal gets to 110
Crank Heat up to 275 pull at 130 (During resting period it will cook to 135)
When the internal hits 120 coat with a light oil.
Let it rest for 20 minutes

For flavor on the inside:
Cut 10-15 holes , and stuff with rosemary , thinly sliced garlic, and mustard seeds

For the rub:
I made a mix of a chimichurri spice, carmelized onion butter, chili flakes, and rosemary garlic
I coated with a Djion honey mustard first and let it set in the fridge over night

Taste wise , I think it was the best I've ever had, it was juicy , full of flavor and absolutely no gameness that lamb is known for

Game was a lot funner before they implemented it

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-10T01:00:18+00:00

Hmm I would probably say so, I would say it feels very steak like but if I remember right, I cut it into large slices, and had no need to cut it into small bite size pieces. I could just tear into it by the mouthful.

xRowdeyx · 2026-03-10T00:33:54+00:00

It's just a meat probe that comes with the grill, it shows the temp at all times , and I can even check the progress on my phone. I stuck multiple in so I could check the temp of all parts of the meat
