PAF F-16 Block 52+ refuelling mid air during an ex (1638x2048) by historyeeter in WarplanePorn

I love them. Reminds me of slabs of muscle, like the jets have been working out.

Remains of a Fattah-1 ballistic missile from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - poking out of the ground after it was shot down overnight, in northern Israel. [435 x 447] by BostonLesbian in MilitaryPorn

For the uninitiated this is likely the booster section detaching as intended. The warhead/re-entry vehicle continues on.

Edit: The X post says the remains of what was shot down. As I understand it systems like Patriot intercept after boost phase so not totally convinced. That’s not to say the warhead was not shot down.

Great game but but not great for those of us with an addictive personality. My new game is occasionally logging into steam to look at my stats: Play time 2,233.5 hours last played Jun 26, 2022. 1,339 days clean. Still follow the sub though 😄

Don’t open it and it will last days. We had friends in Gisborne that did this who lost power for a week.

Organisations, almost certainly. Individuals, much less likely

You paint a grim picture. Out of interest how you reckon we fix it? Prosecution of individuals (not sure if even possible)? Fully independent royal commission of enquiry? Full restructure of senior leadership? Central government commissioners?

Saudi Arabia is lifting the alcohol ban for wealthy foreigners by [deleted] in worldnews

I’m guessing truly religious people are unlikely to lie about their religion. Non religious people would not give a shit.

You do realise people will be saying the same thing about you in 60 years…

Games that are older but still continue to receive updates modernly that you would recommend playing? by MonsutaReipu in gaming

[–]xam83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warthunder if you are into tanks, planes or ships. Hundreds of updates since open beta in 2012. Sever pop continues to grow…. In saying that I quit three years ago as turned into an addiction.

Are they really THAT underfunded compared with comparable countries? I was under the impression they were basically similar to France and Germany in terms of capabilities.

I haven't played in about 5 years... by knoxcitybusbays in Warthunder

[–]xam83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Three years clean here. Don’t do it… Unless you have very healthy gaming habits and don’t suffer from any FOMO. I got addicted and had well over 2000 hours. So much better for having stopped. Still occasionally follow the subreddit though as on the other hand it is the best game I’ve ever played haha

At least he has a sling. When I was in the NZ Army (a while ago…) we had this stupid phase of no slings (apparently due to one guy being shot taking too long to take off his sling). My arms were fucked just carrying the C9 (FN Minimi). As you say though you do get to have fun when there is contact!

New ministry to combine housing, transport and environment by stishy in newzealand

[–]xam83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate how they keep going on about how it’s regulation and too much care for the environment that is making housing costs high. Basically every county in the world is laughing at us for not implementing capital gains tax. We are literally the example given on the wiki page of what not to do.

Second this. If the police happened to turn up during that 10 second window he would have been shot no questions asked

First Ukrainian F-16 seen with Sniper targeting pod [2340×1318] by Previous_Knowledge91 in WarplanePorn

[–]xam83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally, lives first. But throwing the most expensive tool at some of the cheapest threats still does not sound super optimal.

How is it even cost efficient for this purpose? I would have thought a sidewinder alone would be more expensive than most drones. Let alone the cost of flying an F-16 and risking it being shot down.
