digeridoo,

The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There’s usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it’ll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.

digeridoo,

I’m a product of the Idaho education system, and it’s not great. Luckily got a start in Washington, so it didn’t ruin me completely. But that result does not surprise me at all.

Judge in hush money trial threatens Trump with jail after holding him in contempt for violating gag order (www.nbcnews.com)

Judge Juan Merchan ruled Trump in contempt for nine violations of his gag order, with a fine of $1,000 for each instance. He warned in the decision that he would not tolerate further violations of the order and said “if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances,” he would impose “an incarceratory punishment” on...

digeridoo,

Stop threatening and do it. If it was anybody else it would have already happened. It’s theater at this point.

digeridoo,

I agree, if the point had been we didn’t have enough energy storage at the grid scale to accommodate the excess power I would agree with that. Instead, it points out the price.

digeridoo,

There is no place in government for this bullshit… I’m so tired of these idiots being voted for.

Donald Trump has posted a $175 million bond to avert asset seizure as he appeals NY fraud penalty (apnews.com)

Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond on Monday in his New York civil fraud case, halting collection of the more than $454 million he owes and preventing the state from seizing his assets to satisfy the debt while he appeals, according to a court filing....

digeridoo,

As others have said, you can’t passively bypass GNSS jamming. The signal more or less has the same amount of power as a 60 watt light bulb, transmitted from a satellite out in Medium Earth Orbit. You throw enough energy at the same frequency as the signal and it’s over. There are ways to improve the receivers resilience by giving it more signals to connect to (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) or several signals being transmitted by the same constellation (L1, L2, L5).

Also, many different systems occupy pretty much the same frequencies, just with different characteristics which makes all the signals more susceptible.https://images.app.goo.gl/TTK8fgog6pJpdUUD6

digeridoo,

The whole purpose of the log is to help the vehicle get through mud. Here’s a short video: Russian Logs

digeridoo,

Maybe I’m less principled than the rest of you, but regardless of drm or anti-cheat, this game is the most fun I’ve had with a group of friends. I’ve found the game playable with a few glitches here and there, but that hasn’t prevented me from having a great time.

digeridoo,

Nobody wants to be a pig, or live in Louisiana.

digeridoo,

I hate this timeline. How do we make so much progress only to stumble when the idiots are hung up on fake issues to an extent that they’re willing to fundamentally change the country.

digeridoo,

It is entirely their purpose, but you will never know about it publicly. Everything related to space is classified to the highest degree at this point in time.

digeridoo,

I’ve searched (not researched) a little bit and it appears that the categories that they may be referring to are petroleum products, coal, nuclear, and then renewables.

MAGA Is Based on Fear, Not Grounded in Reality (www.nytimes.com)

Yet such fantasies are now the common currency of politics on the American right. Remember the days when pundits solemnly declared that Trumpism was caused by economic anxiety? Well, despite a booming economy, there’s still plenty of justified anxiety out there, reflecting many people’s real struggles: America is still a...

digeridoo,

Fear and anger with absolutely no critical thought put into the issues. The two most primal feelings somebody can have.

digeridoo,

Nah, you’re not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

digeridoo,

It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There’s a chance it wouldn’t hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.

digeridoo,

Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we didn’t have to deal with this stupid shit.

Texas "physically barred" Border Patrol agents from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, federal officials say (www.cbsnews.com)

A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.

digeridoo,

There’s no pressure until we either stop exporting weapons, or limit it to iron dome projectiles.

digeridoo,

That’s bullshit and a cop-out. Every country in NATO joined willingly because every country should have some level of self-determination. NATO grew because decade after decade, the Russian government proved that they act in bad faith in nearly every interaction with the international community.

Maybe if Russia acted in good faith and was willing to be a partner in the region, neighboring countries wouldn’t have felt the need to join NATO, but here we are.

Pacifism doesn’t work. We’ve seen it time and time again that it just buys our adversaries time, and we end up where we’re at today.

digeridoo,

Grifters going to grift… Can we stop fucking around and put this dude and his cronies behind bars. Common people see it, but he just keeps getting preferential treatment.

Senate Republican says US needs to accept Ukraine will ‘cede some territory’ to Russia (thehill.com)

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting. Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he is opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine because he does not believe the country will ever be able...

digeridoo,

We accepted it in 2014, when Russia took Crimea, hoping that would satiate their dreams of the Soviet Empire and here we are nearly 10 years later. The Russian government does not act in good faith, and if we don’t crush their capability to wage war we’ll see them try to take the rest of Ukraine and beyond.

These guys may as well be the modern day equivalent of Neville Chamberlain.

digeridoo,

The crazy thing is that the Air Force, Army, and just about every other branch of the military has contracted or is looking to contract with Space X to get Starlink. He doesn’t have a problem with providing the US with that capability because we’re not in direct conflict, but will deny it to ukraine when it’s in Russia’s favor.

After this I, I would totally re-look those agreements.

Government contracts for Starlink services
