Do tell. a quick search didn’t return anything too salacious.

Then the slavery would be a much bigger piece though, so this meme really makes no sense at all

This is probably the closest to any sort of disclosure we are going to get for a while, and I’m here for it. This is much more persuasive than a cellphone video; that the US government knows that UAP are both real and consider it technology that could change all of our lives is huge even without a known origin.

That’s just how research works most of the time. The experimental setup required to build a working prototype and prove the initial hypothesis is always going to be larger and more complex than a mass market appliance. If that appliance ever gets built depends on a huge number of factors too. If the process scales as expected, how complex the device is to produce and if a company thinks that it can make money on it. The researchers, meanwhile, are probably more worried about their next grant funding.

I just gotta say, the moderation here makes me so happy I joined this instance.

If that account only ever logged in there, maybe? I’d think they’d be smart enough to look at the most commonly used IP address by the account(s) in question. Then again, it is reddit.

My family just got a dog recently. When people ask me what he is, I always have to fight the urge to reply “He’s a dog”.

I actually mostly agree and was being a bit sarcastic. Training on newer systems is prohibitive anyway as you mentioned. Sending personell is clearly provocative and should be avoided. I just find the argument that the military industrial complex ran out of the bullets to help is laughable.

Obviously, production increases with demand and lags it causing stockpiles to decrease until output increases. Hopefully the quoted assessment is talking about that dip and not a more serious problem.

Really though, Russia knows the US is obligated to help. They signed the memorandum too, after all. It’s hard to argue with someone that does so in bad faith, but continuing aid is hardly a provocative act.

2022? Russia and the US have been starting or supporting wars of aggression for decades. Opposing crimes against humanity, by force if necessary, should not be controversial even for a pacifist. History shows clearly what happens when such aggression is met with appeasement.

What solution am I too stupid to think of?

Providing military aid is a last resort and a terrible solution. The only worse solution is to give up and hand over a sovereign nation we promised to protect to a tyrant.

Would I prefer the world get their act together and sanction them until they can’t function, obviously yes. I don’t think that’s very likely though, same as most other proposals for ending the conflict as fundamentally only Putin can end it.

Pretty sure the US is sending old surplus stock, and I’m sure the military industrial complex is salivating at the chance to resupply. Maybe if they send slightly newer stuff it might be over quicker.

At any rate, US support for exactly this type of situation was agreed on in the Budapest memorandum as part of Ukrainian nuclear disarmament. Russia broke their end of the bargain and started a war under false pretenses. It is up to them to end it, exactly like it is up to the US to do so when doing the same thing.

If the world can not unite to stand up to countries starting such conflicts, we shall never know peace.

Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said ‘evolved crab-like bodies’ instead, as they’d still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.

Fun fact: Through a process of convergent evolution called carcinisation, crustaceans have evolved into crabs several times.

Depending on who you ask OC is basically a myth, and everything is just fanfic expanding on base archetypes and themes anyway.

The Romans literally copied Greek statuary, and nobody questions the virtuosity of neo-classicists even if their work is “just” Greco-Roman fanart.

Most art is memetic in some way, making it accessible and engaging to a large audience and reducing the amount of exposition and context needing be communicated. Ironically, art that doesn’t do so is often criticized for being inaccessible, elitist, or “something my baby could have done”.

Telling artists what art they should make is silly outside of commissions to begjn with.

I was wondering the same thing before reading the article. This is for a 28 year mission, and doesn’t include setting up the base, or power and water supply.

Looks interesting. I’ll probably keep using nano, as it is usually installed by default and my needs are minimal. The single binary without dependencies should certainly make adoption easier.

Apparently I’m from an area that uses sunshower, but I’ve always heard it called the devil beating his wife
