Palletized freight is pretty standardized and movement could pretty easily be automated, but the driver acting as agent probably isn’t so easy and the upstream warehouse processes aren’t yet reliable enough to eliminate that role.

I’ve seen Swiss Francophone’s cast side-eyes at spoken Quebec French, which is many levels of funny.

It’s also long been a neutral space for the Indian sub-continent who provide increasing numbers of high-end tourists, slaves, and organized crime.

It’s spoken like someone who correctly believes her privilege secures her rights, and she doesn’t give a damn about the rights of others.

Situationism?

Artillery charges for Ru are <$1k/ea even probably including barrel amortization, airframe operating costs are >>$1k an hour.

The beauty of the Tiger and what makes Wehraboo so amusing is they probably didn’t do this to make the factory more efficient, they did it because they had no other choice

>10,000 lbs GVWR is a cut-off between light and medium trucks. Your F150 is under that, your superduty f-350 over that.

Endangered species implies they were once thriving or prevalent which has not been the case for decades. The last Republican governor was in 1980, left-leaning populists are not new either, Bud Clark being an example.

Why would annyone ever bother giving an interview to Dan? Blackmail? Charity?

He’s a doofus on Twitter who reportedly works in/near the office of Pentagon spokesman I think.

There’s a third option that he’s pandering to SOW Pete, who seems to view the Guard as being a “real” warrior without having to make it your profession.

You just don’t understand the magnificence of the SG38 (4th
highest production airplane of ww2 era for Germany).

Bari’s ownership stake in TFP is probably worth north of $20 million if they are acquiring it for $150 million, and it also throws a nice little return to her funders (Andreesen, Sacks, etc).

“Can you make it, and how fast and cheap can you make it” is core to the superiority of any tech. Henschel‘s Tiger production “line” was what you’d expect for a boutique luxury car and the production numbers reflect that. Sherman tanks were turned out like Chrysler and Cadillac bodies.

Take - WW1 produced a huge break through in aerial photographic intelligence, but it couldn’t cope with anything but a mostly static Western front of trenches.

In 1944 single intelligence units in the US Army were producing 2x the images in a day what the entire German military did in 1918.

1st Ranger Battalion was trained by Brit commandos, then went on the stupid Dieppe raid, that counts in ethos?

WW2 Commando/SAS are what I’m treating as the anglophone origin of the super troopers.

An Israeli Army Captain vividly described observing over a surveillance camera an enemy engaging in donkey beastiality once. Like with many things I’m not sure if it *was* a thing, or it was something you accused people of.

They lined up their vehicles side by side so they could get turned into hamburger, that’s not elite.

The Ranger Battalions (many of which lost at Cisterna)? Merrill’s Marauders?

The US was trying to develop tiny mass-produced (available at squad or platoon level) UAV circa 2000, it’s not a new thing, just something that actually arrived.

I think it’s shallower than that with Pete, he’s obsessed with the aesthetics of an all-male entirely white operator force. Everything else is backfilled.

It’s naval, but the US escaped fatalities on the USS Higbee to VPAF MiG-17 in 1972 by luck, could have been a dozen.

Internal DOJ messages bolster claim that Trump judicial nominee spoke of defying court orders Emil Bove, a top DOJ official who has been nominated to be an appellate judge, is the subject of whistleblower allegations.

Bove reportedly instructed people to ignore court orders when he was at DOJ

I’m curious if they followed it up with “because tariffs made IKEA meatballs to expensive”

They walked into a Walmart and promoted a department manager to CEO. No department manager with brains and good judgement would ever accept that promotion.

They’ve fixed it now BTW - as of about an hour ago or so. No idea how that happens though.

Trump has checked out of most things and is happy for Miller to be acting President.

Noem hates Native-Americans, fish rots from the head.
