If they dislike him that much, they're either desperate or someone had the bright idea of how to get rid of the guy without getting their hands dirty.

We'll see how much sand he has left in his hourglass....

They can offer something the russians absolutely can't... future supply.

This way to the Egress, Mr. President...

About as differently as one could expect it to go in an entirely different culture.

Pay attention.

Checkpoints are one thing, HQs are another.

How long will an IRGC soldier go without getting a signed paycheck? Without orders, without contact from the command structure? Watching over their shoulder every moment they're alone because a neighbor could decide to 'solve a problem'?

51 caps, not 200. Not sure where I got that number from.

Still, any item you can just pick up in numbers and sell for that amount is handy.

He's either too stupid to realize his compromise is showing, or for whatever reason simply doesn't care.

Russians keep records. When the regime falls, who's going to get popped for being an unregistered foreign agent?

Yes, let's just publish numbers estimated by a political military body that doesn't actually have eyes on any of their own activities...

How the f*ck do they know they even hit a f*cking target?

Why do people believe them?

Yup. Attribution to an organization means attribution to a person.
Person posting AI? Block.
Fake person? Blacklist the providing org, publicly.

And if the org sues for defamation, just request a deposition of the author. Then tell the IRS about their fake employees, just for fun.

Tried a run through the asylum last night and was interrupted by Fasnacht... Not a single 'color' uniform but a bunch of hats (red too) and holy jeez, the amount of straight jackets...

Buff up for biz and those sell for 200 caps to *vendors*...

If you make fertilizer you probably make nitrates and fertilizer is just a subset of production.

The superset is a valid military target, explosive precursors re: nitric acid, possibly azides, nitrated compounds, etc.

Anyways, the facility *is* fertilizer, but made nitrates.

"confirm before acting"
"Ok, I'm acting now. Action confirmed."
"Wait.... what!"

Wish I could remember which ones were desirable, I used to run across them all the time.

Still stop for every straight jacket though, those things are $$$$ to vendors.

Put another couple drones down and breach the other tanks, there's nobody fighting a fire that size...

GM's powertrain group programmers were absolutely schizophrenic in 2011.
C0267..... low brake fluid. It's above the add line, but I added some anyways and it stopped warning.

WHY would every service warning BUT low brake fluid come on if the brake fluid was "low", but not actually low?

GM. Gah.

I've been quiet... I know. Lots of work, lots of maintenance.

Like right now, I'm about to step out and try yet another app in the attempt to get answers from my 2011 Buick's EBMC as to what exactly is wrong with it, via ELM327 WiFi adapter... maybe in terminal mode, if necessary. Ugh.

It's a grate opportunity.

It's a grate opportunity to shred anything that isn't russian power, or anything that doesn't make Trump seem competent.

It's perfect that Trump leads MAGA now, ingrate times...

Certainly grates on my nerves.

We all need to be keeping lists of even little things that are abuses of power, and go down that list later to make legislation that prevents those abuses... laws with teeth, even if it has to be unorthodox. Hell, maybe we need to push for a guarded recall mechanism to be added to the constitution.

Of course, it doesn't have anything to do with making Trump look competent.

Funny how the future of Europe depends, according to Orban, a country that could become one of the powerhouse agricultural producers in the *world*..... NOT joining a regulatory body that would help keep trade fair and mutually beneficial.

.... what? Make that make sense?

Now you have ID numbers for these terminals, which means you have a method to track how they were obtained and potentially through whom.

There needs to be a process where the victimized families do as instructed but note the terminal they're activating as an enemy asset.
It can then go live but traffic would be intercepted and sent to Ukrainian intelligence, and location/speed closely monitored as well.

Yes.
And really it's only 8 45 minute episodes.

Dammit. It occurs to me now I enjoyed it enough that I don't want to tell you anything about it and ruin it...

Startle one well enough though, and a person will evacuate themselves.

Spicy.
Moar!

Nothing stopping the next nation from seizing it as soon as it's free.
If anything it'll likely be good practice for the boarding parties.

that 400km range comes with the penalty of 5 minutes flight time, against 'large targets' that can have large detection systems because... large, and needing external radar guidance is a HARM nightmare.

I bet it looks fantastic on paper, but any missile banking on "Hold still, almost there".. fail.

Mid-sized, observable, rather fast solid-fueled missile has some problems versus claims;
"steerable nozzle"... this helps how in coast phase?
"4900 kmh"... maybe briefly after launch, not for long or heat soak would pop it.
Little fins on an SRM powered missile means awful terminal maneuverability.

It makes sense. It's not just about how much stuff you have, but if you're capable of using it effectively.

A nation loaded to the moon with near alien-level tech, enough for every soldier, is worthless if not a single one understands what they're doing, how to do it, or why it's important.

I still have to do it occasionally to 'reset' my camp's watch tower damage, so it's fresh in mind :)
