What power source will these as-yet non existent autonomous drones use????

so in 4 years we are going to develop autonomous fleets of surface and subsurface vessels, and autonomous fighter wings?

these things, which do not exist, will be able to autonomously acquire and lock on a target while evading enemy countermeasures in the balmy weather in the Taiwan straight?

definitely not a great place to poast through it

As Confucius wrote, "the man who sows his seeds diligently in the spring will reap a bountiful B2B sales harvest in the fall" or something of that nature

this is a novel variation on the "picture of a famous person/character accompanied by words not said by the person in the picture" meme format, fascinating stuff.

Israel's goal is to live in peace with their neighbors, so while they are going overboard with their razing of Gaza, forced displacements, and mass starving of civilians, their hearts are in the right place so I guess that's just the price of war

This is the ends justify the means thinking

The two sentences in the second paragraph do not support each other. In the first, he says that not everything the IDF is doing is justified. In the second, he says Israel is the more ethical combatant. So are we to excuse the IDF's actions because Israel's goals are "more ethical?"

ah yes the ends justify the means theory of jus in bello

I guess they were starting to wilt after being in Sidwell's shadow for so long

I said this elsewhere but while I will never fault anyone for trying to get the best for their kid, you do not need to send your kid to private school in Montgomery County, period. The "worst" public schools in Moco are better than almost everywhere else in the country.

my cousin went there and he's a dipshit, it's a factory that mass produces Alex P. Keatons

the lady in the article signed a contract saying she'd enroll her daughter at SS assuming she'd get financial aid (very bad assumption given SS's dire financial straights lately). when she didn't get the aid she didn't enroll her daughter, so they sued her for breach of contract and won.

this is extremely niche DMV tweeting but this is one of the things that drives me up the fucking wall about living here. those dipshits at Sandy Spring ran their school into the ground and had to be bailed out by alumni but have the gall to sue a single mom whose kid never even enrolled, get fucked

She was ordered to pay a private school $27,000. Her child never attended. In a region with one of nation’s highest private school enrollment rates, there’s a side not often talked about: the lawsuits.

Come for the Quakers suing a poor single mother for not enrolling her daughter in their school, stay for the casual mention that Landon (fucking LANDON, of all places) has sued families under similar circumstances

wapo issues aside, this story feels like it was tailor-made to drive me insane

I'll never fault someone for wanting the best for their children, but in Montgomery County you simply do not need to send your kids to private school, full stop.

you'll never guess what this refers to

I've never lost a child, but death was a constant companion in my professional life, especially in my 20s.

Maybe the most important thing I've ever learned is that sometimes you have to just let go.

Far be it for me to offer advice to a parent who had lost a child in a school shooting. I can't imagine the pain.

I just don't think I would go this route, personally.

UAVs armed with mini-javelins. What will they come up with next.

the vibes were a real mess today. all off kilter.

my only regret about nuking my Twitter account is that I ever signed up in the first place.

I was skeptical about porn brain but I am no longer skeptical. these people have no idea how to consume any media at all, especially media that makes them experience strange and powerful feelings
