JohnDClay,

If you peasent rail gun something upwards, you can throw it high enough to take 20d6 damage falling on someone, given your peasents are able to hand off something 200lbs.

JohnDClay,

I thought it was referring to the parody continuation.

JohnDClay,

Decoy keyboard? Or maybe have two keyboards and be able to turn one off?

JohnDClay,

Because most people are right handed so wasd allows for right handed mouse use?

JohnDClay,

Yay! These things are absolutely massive since they don’t need to fit under bridges. I wonder how many mega watts these ones are. The largest ones are like 16MW each.

JohnDClay,

Looks like about 2MW is average for on shore, so these are still massive! css.umich.edu/…/wind-energy-factsheet

JohnDClay,

Like what sort of war? Supporting Ukraine is good, especially if it’s something like boycotting Russian oil and gas (or better yet oil and gas in general)

JohnDClay,

Yeah that one isn’t just. But I don’t think the statement holds true generally.

Massive space solar collectors that could beam down energy to units with microwaves, or use the directed energy as an orbital weapon.

JohnDClay,

Btw, is anyone able to see the video directly? I hoped that a .webm would imbed, but it doesn’t look like it has for me yet.

JohnDClay,

The link at the top should be a video.

JohnDClay,

Cool. I couldn’t find the video already hosted anywhere else on mp4, so I figured I’d check if webm worked.

JohnDClay,

I sure hope ICBMs aren’t using Windows…

JohnDClay,

Great! They’ll need it. It’s become the most heavily mined place on earth, and even the discovery of one mine has evacuated a village before.

JohnDClay,

I wonder if mavics can’t look up. If so, the attacking drone could have an advantage at first since they couldn’t be seen.

JohnDClay,

I wonder if Navy ships have non color based indicators for easier color blind damage control.

JohnDClay,

Like so:

Infinite energy from cat and toast

JohnDClay,

What’s the common used percentage for video games? I’d imagine recording a ton more than is used would be pretty common.

JohnDClay,

I’m just intrigued by the level of the wine in the last panels. I guess it implies that she’s accelerating down the hill faster than free fall? Which I guess fits.

JohnDClay,

People are saying this isn’t funny to young people who would be horrified by this.

JohnDClay,

What do you mean? That’s what the comment ‘boomer meme/humour’ is referring to for example, that this meme appeals primarily to people born during the post WWII baby boom.

JohnDClay,

What do you think they were saying? That seemed like the most straightforward interpretation.

JohnDClay,

Okay… Do you want to tell want you think the comments are actually saying and why? Then we can compare.

JohnDClay,

I’m an imperialy sanctioned psyker

JohnDClay,

I do not vibe with the universe

JohnDClay,

Do we have a counterpart to r/shittytechnicals? But in this case, it would be more c/glorioustechnicals

JohnDClay,

Huge wonder weapons were a way for engineers or technically inclined people to get out of front line service while also largely not needing to actually deliver anything.

JohnDClay,

That seems like a really good way to get really deadly encounters till one of your characters is dead.

JohnDClay,

That Tiwan is the rightful government of China, there are just rebellious western provinces that call themselves the CCP?

JohnDClay,

You could also just post on !memes, hexbear likes to hang out on there.

JohnDClay,

Congratulations, the .ml admins deleted it. Did they ban you too?

JohnDClay,

JohnDClay,

Minecraft shaders look great though, especially the rtx one for bedrock. If it was more open source, I’m sure ray tracing would be great to implement into shaders.

JohnDClay,

Yeah those are all abbreviated con, str, dex, and int. I wonder why charisma isn’t abbreviated cha. Maybe that was too close to con?

JohnDClay,

D&d parties yes!

JohnDClay,

Don’t click the link, apparently it’s horrible nsfl stuff

JohnDClay,

And the uae wants to buy them? I don’t get your point.

JohnDClay,

The F35 is a good capable platform, better than the f22 in a couple of ways. Though Lockheed was able to milk the sustainment contracts to be very lucrative for themselves. But it’s the most technologicaly advanced fighter ever, brings tons of new capabilities to the US and it’s allies, and is very sought after around the world.

Would you disagree? Are you arguing it doesn’t work, is too expensive per unit, too expense to develop, or that the US doesn’t need it?

I would agree on point three only, because they went into production before validation was finished which turned out to be a bad wager. But the platform itself is still pretty great despite is flaws. Hence why the UAE wants them.

JohnDClay,

You’re talking about reducing military spending in general, not about F35 specifically? I actually agree then. But the F35 isn’t a bad bang for the buck for increasing combat power. Are we taking about the F35 or about military spending?

JohnDClay,

I think you fundamental misunderstand what military spending like the f35 is for. It’s purpose is to keep a war (like China invading Tiwan) from happening because the other side knows that it won’t do well. A successful system isn’t necessarily one that does well in combat, but one that keeps the fight from happening in the first place. Since war is so astronomically expensive, even extremely expensive systems are worth it to prevent war.

Also, compare to other modern fighters. F22 is something like 5x the price, it’s 20M cheaper than the f15ex, and is only about 15M more expensive than the super hornet. It offers a high stealth capability at a significantly lower price point and higher quality than the f22.

If you buy into the amount of combat power needed to deter a war (I think it should be much lower than current US estimates, but I guess Russia still managed to miscalculate) then they’re a good investment. Any which way, they’re a good modern addition to a very high tech fighting force.

Here’s more info on the f16 vs f35 tests you might be referencing. youtu.be/R_aID6_naNU

Here’s a good overview of the f35 and what capabilities it brings to the table. youtu.be/7SNALUoybt0

JohnDClay,

Hmm, I wonder who can stop the war? Maybe the person who started it?

JohnDClay,

Ya know what? I’d be okay with that. Be the first good thing he’s done in ages.

JohnDClay,

These ‘Hide the pain Herold’ pics are of András István Arató. He seemed to eventually reluctantly embrace the meme

JohnDClay,

Unless you work as a handyman or farmer or something, you don’t need a truck. You can ask a friend or rent a trailer for the once in a year occurrence you need to transport something huge.

JohnDClay,

In my case, an f350 to pull giant trailers for an auction business he runs.

JohnDClay,

How would Legolas do better with a sniper rifle? I can’t think of a time he missed or was out of range of something anyway. And it’s not like he could have sniped Sauron from Gondor.
