Western-made armor is failing in Ukraine because it wasn’t designed to sustain a conflict of this intensity, a military analyst told The Wall Street Journal....
no, it's because the core doctrine and design (at least of the leopard 1/2) is to use them in defensive battles against larger numbers of tanks - that was the entire NATO strategy in western Europe during the cold war, when all of that hardware was designed
not for rolling into unknown territory and getting hit by entrenched infantry AT, as Turkey discovered a few years ago

The difference being that with Korea, it would have already had a fusion booster, which even in early designs increased the yield by a factor of 20-100 (Edit: depending on which pure-fission generation you compare to).
Edit: Also, I feel we need some tests again that get recorded with modern equipment - the old footage seems like from another world. People should be able to see it in 8K and VR to get properly scared of them.
Breach cutter is a carry weapon, if you get the plasma trail on it, you can use it to get rid of lots of swarmers. I always use it when I need to be the most survivable engineer. If you can get the fire OC, that is one of the best allround OCs for it IMO, make it stun, take extra ammo and the quick-broadening mod.
The Shredder grenade can be a life saver - I usually throw one if I have more than 2 and some larger waves appear, especially when swarms of flying enemies appear.
Generally, I turn down the music since the games audio-cues are really important. Before enemies appear you can usually hear burrowing somewhere. The enemies also make characteristic sounds, there are idle sounds and sounds when they aggro or move towards you or your teammates.
What really, really multiplies your kiting ability is to get the Dash perk, every 30s you can dash with it and get away from whatever is after you (and then you can line up e.g. a breach cutter shot to get rid of all the enemies). You can also try to dash through some enemies (though a bit risky on low health), since they take a little time to attack you.
In terms of turrets, get the defender mod and then set them up with the right fire arcs: Many people build their turrets facing away from whatever they want to defend but in the end, the enemies will be where you are anyways. So it's better to set the turrets up to fire into the space where you're going to be kiting the enemies (so towards where you're defending). I usually get the gemini, extra ammo (120 per turret) and defender mod on my turrets.
@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.
Can probably be mitigated by taking some sort of entropy threshold on the level of human language - but then the next step is Markov chain generators or chatGPT spam.
Elon Musk blamed AI companies for new “temporary” limitations on Twitter access. Verified accounts can read up to 6,000 posts per day, while unverified users are limited to seeing 600 posts per day.
It's not a decision I think - I twitter has now tried to move away from AWS/Google Cloud(?) for its hosting but now the bill is due. Elon doesn't want to pay the full billion dollar bill and AWS/Google Cloud(?) has rate limited them because Elon is stiffing them.
So they have to rate limit the users to be able to use the AWS request bottleneck, while implementing that, they DDOSed themselves:
Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.
Yeah that was the last info I had on developments like these: FBS: Fetal Bovine Serum. Blood from a foetus of a slaughtered pregnant cow, commonly used in growing cell cultures due to all the growth factors that go into growing a baby cow.
I've read a probable scenario about accidents with small DSVs in the book Below(Edit) the Edge of Darkness (about marine biology of bioluminescence and the tech developed by the author to film/record it):
There was a small leak in a valve, used for emergency operation IIRC and the author noticed that going down - she was still light enough to ascend but she said had she been a few hundred meters deeper, she never would have made it back up due to the extra weight.
I don't know if you've noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it's "dogshit" and "not going anywhere" get systematically upvoted....
I don't think it's necessary for them to be trolls, I think some people want to believe that there is no alternative, since that means they don't have to change anything. The guilty conscience for supporting something they know is bad can be rationalized away by external factors.
I suspect people are that aggressive because they have to explain themselves, towards each other and towards themselves why they're staying.
Ich komme aus einer Region, in der Holz zu 100% lokal geschlagen & aufgeforstet wird, seit Jahrhunderten - d.h. jedes Jahr wird ein kleiner Teil des Waldes als Brennholz freigegeben, von den Familien mit viel Handarbeit geschlagen und gespalten und zuhause eingelagert für den Winter.
Das ermöglicht es meinen Eltern, tatsächlich fast ohne Gas/etc.-Heizung über den Winter zu kommen (Warmwasser ist der einzige Punkt) - im Sommer kommt Warmwasser aus der Solaranlage.
Klar müssen Gesetze und Regulierungen mit dem groben Pinsel gemacht werden, damit nicht bspw. in Ballungsgebieten Holzheizungen benutzt werden, die dann nicht-nachwachsenden Wald irgendwo zerstören - aber es ist trotzdem schade, da es lokale Gemeinschaften gibt, die schon lange viel weniger fossile Brennstoffe zum Heizen verwenden als der Rest der Bevölkerung u.U. dazu gezwungen werden diese Nische aufzugeben.
Same here, I deleted my 11yo account a few days ago - I've opened the site a few times out of habit but I closed it again. I'm quitting reddit like other people quit smoking.
