I block a couple Zionist debate perverts, some dude who posted almost all RFEL/RFA/VOA, and comms like NCD on my general Lemmy account, but I don’t block goat and their comm because it’s mostly just funny watching them froth.

Triumph of the Hill

Made me suffer through a couple days of their 3 posts an hour wall to make sure this is real. It is…

This is going to be a problem with all electric vehicles, which makes it that much worse that we refuse to make anything affordable and we’ve essentially banned China from selling theirs here.

To be fair I was pretty drunk at the time.

I need to measure it. I got back into doing long bike rides but my current seat’s the wrong width for me and that shit hurts.

I forget people would actually take these guys seriously and trust millions of dollars with them.

This was always the plan because they scheduled the convention too late to get their nomination in in Ohio, and they don’t trust them to make an exception. Just now you’ve got the (probably dead) thrust to remove Biden on top of it. One of the recent trueanons covers it a fair bit, and I was trying to figure out when they’d do it the other day as they hadn’t actually scheduled it yet. (And still kinda haven’t.)

No

A thread about how their brains are still fried by the bullshit narratives around 2016 is evidence we’re trump fans. Makes sense in a way.

It’s barely about Iran. They just needed one of the countries we’re constantly antagonizing to stick in there.

Seeing this I’m wondering how much the Moscow Times’ distribution got hurt in all this considering it’s very much a foreign-run, pro-western paper.

That’s one of those things where it’s really hard to tell. They all claim different capabilities but the proof is classified (and even somewhat untested). Composite will give you almost no-gap coverage though, and any nearby folks will be happier if you aren’t waltzing around with outward facing explosives all over your tank. But, many Abrams in Iraq added reactive armor all over the less protected sides to help counter RPG’s, so…

I’d mainly say it’s just easier to retrofit an older tank with ERA blocks than it is to design and produce a whole new one with thicker integrated armor.

It’s mostly just large. 4 crew instead of 3 and an auto-loader, and they focus on extra thick composite armor instead of a mix of that and reactive armor. And meanwhile, the t-72’s an extension of old Soviet philosophy that a smaller tank was that much harder to hit, so everything’s packed as tight as possible, while you could almost have a small cookout in the abrams.

/Edit - And as mentioned elsewhere, the abrams is stupidly heavy at this point and has even gained something like 20 tons over the years. A smaller, lighter tank has less problems crossing softer terrain and getting over rickety bridges.

My desktop’s a many-hats workstation. Half of it I could easily do in Linux using the software I use now, half of it I can’t. Do work with it a lot through WSL2 and our servers though.

And well, my laptop’s an M1 MacBook. It has its own issues. :P

Main issue on the desktop side though is not having the Adobe Suite, love em or hate em it’s what we use. And, I personally use every major bit of it a lot, and then also do collaborative work with it.

They’re literally getting pissy because the devs won’t build a block of hexbear into the software itself. Great liberal values. (And an incredibly poor understanding of how FOSS development works.)

Nah, always more in depth than that. They are podcasters though.

Closing my eyes and half dreaming just after reading this title had me thinking of dung beetles renting shopping carts to transport poo. Just saying.
