  1. Yeah. I have no problems with military training in certain areas. Real world training is invaluable. Yet Trump essentially saying. "Thanks Obama" for this is hilariously sad . Flight control tower people are notoriously over worked, and underpaid. An insanely stressful, and underappreciated job by the general public. I'd have respect for Trump if he was like. Yeah we will pay people more, and give bigger budgets to hire more. Yet of course he isn't. Already came up with conspiracy theories himself.

  2. Yeah it sucks. Now I don't have diabetes, but I do have liver and kidney failure. Kidneys failed due to liver failing. It is called hepatorenal syndrome. Man I remember the days they failed too. Could have given me a cup as big as the ocean full of liquid, and it wouldn't have satiated my thirst. I was already on a liquid restriction. I remember burning through two liters of frozen juice just munching on it. I actually went into the ER, because I wasn't going to the bathroom at all. I just got out of a two week stint, and from a coma. I did not want to go to the ER within 48 hours. So the third day I went where they went onto do horrible test. Like shoving a straight cath in my penis fishing for urine with No pain killers or muscle relaxers. Only stopped due to my vitals being dangerous! Anyway just posting because I think the Egyptians weren't kidding with the thirst thing. My insulin scares me honestly. Always sitting at 120 which I hear is pre diabetic, but no doc is taking it seriously since I have organ failure.

  3. I worked at Rite Aid as it closed. We locked up stuff based on what was stolen. It definitely sucked having to unlock during a rush, and trust me when I say we hated it just as much. Yet they are put there due to all the wild crap people steal! One reason why places like CVS don't want to open up in urban neighborhoods is due to way those neighborhoods treat retail. It isn't worth it when there is so much theft or crime, and overall less profit.

  4. The wild isn't exactly paradise either.

  5. TSCMis nothing without other companies. Japanese are ahead everyone on photo resist, American lasers/hardware/software. ASML makes the machines for everyone, and is nothing without Carl Zeiss, a german company who makes mirrors/lenses. Some in the supply chain are years beyond their competition as well, and cannot be simply replaced. So TSCM better make sure they don't get sidelined by photonic chips, and other technologies. A company called Q. Ant is saying they can do what Nvidia chips do in two years in house. Making their own chips. Big claims. TSMC better be adapting to Whatever lays beyond EUV. Everything from X Rays to Quantum/nano imprinting lithography. These technologies can put whatever country who cracks them first beyond the EUV monopoly. Whether that is US, China, or even Europe. China is heavily pursuing alternative techs much like they stopped focusing on making ICE cars, and leap frogged to EVs. That is what Trump should be focusing on. He can't help, but do everything wrong. Edit - Oh yeah, TSMC deserves everything. They work their butts off for way less money. Trumps going to slash education, and expect chips. LoL. God American leaders suck.

  6. Yes absolutely 100٪ signs of an addicting exchanging one habit for an other. It happens all the time and is a real issue. You have to pint point the undying problem and realize how it is effecting your choices which is easier said than done.
    122
  7. LoL today they just use R9X Ginsu Hellfire, and Seal Teams who go on YouTube the second they leave apparently.

  8. While I would love cities made out of marble and stone. I don't think we have enough beautiful stone quarries to actually do that. At least for all humanity. Also when glass and steel came out. They were beautiful marvels. Today we take them for granted, because they are ubiqutous. I have a feeling we wouldn't care as much for say marble if it was just as cummon, and ubiquitous On the other hand. We still pretty much put cost over everything else. I also bring up survivorship bias. Only the beautiful historic buildings have been kept from demolishing. Over decades each beautiful historic was saved each generation. Making it seem like they always built high quality structures.

  9. Once I heard the scope of the attack and by whom? I was instantly suspicious, and asking myself the same thing. Isreal, which has one of the best if not the best spy apparatus in the world was completely caught off guard by an enemy they watch like a hawk? I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. There is only two explanations. One they knew something was up, and didn't take it seriously. I guess that can happen. Two, they knew it was going to happen, and let it happen to justify the hell that will now be unleashed. Regardless of how they were caught off guard. HAMAS didn't think this through did they? What happens now is all on them. I get the fued that will repeat. Yet dragging your enemies corpses across the street like animals literally takes any perceived victim hood to me. Yeah act like animals. That will get you support.

  10. Keep dreaming. Everytime they find weight to shave with one thing they load you with more of something else. Even if it is just more batteries, ammo, or food!

  11.  @CrucialConflict.  Trump would've taken hand outs by Lockheed, and the program was started before Trump anyway.
    95
  12. He isn't harsh. I've read interviews of movies who had experts, but the producers were like don't make it too accurate. Due to liability. Hot wiring a car for instance is what comes to mind. I think some company was sued for teaching people. If you notice they still use red and blue wires in modern cars and I honestly don't think that is a thing anymore. So yeah they always are careful.
    92
  13. Yeah, and it makes me angry so many people do underestimate China. They have the population and resources. They have motivation and their government for all its woes can swivel faster than any Democracy. Anyway we shall see soon won't we? One thing China doesn't have is competent allies.
    83
  14. I dont agree with attacking civilian vehicles. Yet Elon acting like he can do everything he does without backlash is ridiculous. These rich people think they can stomp over everyone. Hope it bankrupts the company. Tesla suck anyway now that there are other EVs.
    80
  15. It isn't just him. Scientist, and smart people complain about this all the time. The more knowledgable you are on a subject the more you realize how incomplete our knowledge is. In fact ignorant people generally overestimate their knowledge on subjects. I think there is a phrase for it.
    80
  16. Agreed. The West, but particularly Europe, thought being friends would change everything when the Soviets fell. Russia didn't even change. It was right back to expanding once it finally stabilized slightly with the Czechs and Georgian wars. Then Ukraine in 2014... And yet NATO didn't react. So then Putin went to cement his legacy, and if the Ukrainians didn't fight tooth and nail NATO probably still would have hardly reacted. Russia isn't the only country like this. Yet they are the worse ones at the moment. When a dog becomes mean, and turns on you. You have no choice, but to put it down. Lest it attack again.

  17. ​ @Nicksonian  Not for looks. Having a bunch of hair down there feels nasty AF. So if you think having a damp mop down there during the summer and dingle berries makes you more of a male then you guys have some issues. Screw shaving too. That's even worse - ingrown hairs that can cause infection and getting stubble that feels like a prickly cactus. I'll stick to trimming regardless of how people think it looks. It is cleaner and feels much better.
    64
  18. Yeah. While I think China had the edge in terms of hardware. I think the Indians have more fighting spirit. Start head nodding faster as they charge in sandals. By the time they reach you their heads are just vibrating, and voices get louder. I think China would win. Especially if India couldn't hit drone production. Yet India would still cripple them. I don't think the world would allow for India to lose honestly.
    64
  19. Paralyzed while thinking is the worse. They could not have even moved their eyes to communicate. That is scary. I don't remember if he said they can feel or not. Give me five months and stab me by a shamab, witch doctor or priest with an obsidian blade in some ritual so I can laugh in my head about how crazy life is and my family had it done. No cremation! Make me a mummy with tablets lying in English talking about all the scientific deeds and battles I've fought. So those 2,000 years from now know just what I did. (In 2004 he fought off 2,000 men, and later cured covid. Then went on to make an exoskeleton which basic design is still is used.) Damn I wish I had the money to make something like to prank historians. 100 tablets of granite should suffice. Dunno if memory cards can last.

  20. I hate how polarized anything Elon does, because it takes away from the work of the people behind the companies. Love him or hate him. He has rapidly changed the car and space industry for the better. The private space industry has more investment then ever, and I'm rooting for all. Starlink already has been a gamer changer for those who would otherwise be out even as flawed as it can be. So while I would never have a use for it at the moment it doesn't mean it isn't great. I am more worried about people on earth than astrophysists. I'm rooting for Starship that will get a second go I'm guessing since I keep seeing stuff on here. Blue Orgins and such need to get their crap together too. That is one thing about Space X that people don't give them credit for. They seem to keep rapidly moving forward, and are not afraid to fail or take risks to make the entire system better. I feel like other companies are too safe or something. Blue Orgins seems to be behind on many projects.

  21. I seen it myself 15yo ago. In Groton CT. I dunno what it was. Fast. Will edit later on. Sorry was on dialysis. My friend and I absolutely saw one late at night when he was bringing me home. I saw something and was like huh that has weird lights. You see that? Is that a helicopter? So he stops the car and at the time we are thinking it is coming towards and nearly right above us. Yet after looking for a minute it hasn't moved at all so I tell him to turn off the car. Still nothing! So we get out of the car and it is just floating above us. Now here is the weird thing... We could see the silhouette of it in the shape of a triangle against the night sky. It had three light, and one bigger in the middle that reflected light weirdly - almost like looking at a red marble with an inner light. Yet there was no noise at all on top of it. So that either means the thing was massive and high up in the sky. Or super quiet and low to the ground... So it couldn't be a helicopter as I'm use to them. Anyway we are standing there for five minutes and this was right when cell phones had cameras so it had like 1 mega pixel, haha. He tried though. Anyway then it took off like a bat out of hell. There was no acceleration. Just standing still and full speed. It traveled north about a mile before going over a hill and tree line and then a split second later appeared where the hill dipped heading east over the ocean. With how fast it popped east I doubt it even turned - just a hard right like a upside down L angle. That acceleration and G force would have killed anyone. I only told a few people about the story. Years later an ex I told it to showed me a story about the TR3B and sure enough it is it. Amazes me how so many others seen it. I'm a skeptic yet I cannot deny what I saw. I won't pretend to know what it is or speculate. I just know what both of us saw and know how fast the f***ing thing went and that it was silent. I wish I had something to judge the size or speed of it, but it was a bright night sky with only some clouds. Darker then the night sky though! No sonic boom by the way - complete silence. Again it didn't acceleration not like a rocket. Shot off like a bullet. Total time was probably a bit less then ten minutes. When it was hovering it did absolutely nothing. Just hope it is on my side!
    56
  22. Yeah it is. What the hell are the two little pieces in the back that point down called? Some diffuser or somethin? Gives the plane an X look instead of a V.
    56
  23. Yeah and unless technology changes something most first world countries aren't willing to destroy themselves and pay their citizens crap wages to extract it. We buy from China because why even try to compete when they are willing to sell it for cheap. Once the market and politics start to play a role then we will mine our own but right now it doesn't make sense. Can't compete with basically slave workers who don't have to worry about regulations.
    54
  24. ​ @pantherowow77 Sure you can. Some were not worth the cost.
    52
  25. I don't like the fact it doesn't have a regular freaken handle. I don't know why new cars have to get fancy with things. Knocking is nice don't get me wrong. Like if my hands are full. Yet I still like the idea of being able to open the door mechanically if the electronics fail. Also I prefer buttons over a screen as well. Damn I can't stress how much I hate this trend of having only a touch screen. I know I'm not the only one. Especially when car designers make it so you gotta go through 100 menus to get to something....
    50
  26. ​ @tyes77 Same thing can be said about the myriad of democracies. I mean SA and Africa are full of other forms of governments that are either worse then some dictatorships if not worse. Hopefully it will be the next Singapore.
    50
  27. I know a software engineer who was picked up by Grumman a while ago. He was into VR and said they can see everything like the F 35. No surprise there. Yet they can also use manual gestures to click on things through the VR. Like looking to the side or behind them, clicking on a target and selecting it to fire a missile or zoom into the ground. Then once looking at the ground they can guide a missile or bomb there themselves. They can use optical data links from other sources for this too. Basically they will be able to patch into drones and use that feed. After all the human brain is still better at discerning things. Nah I'm just playing. Who knows. I am sure they will get the F 35 display of augmented reality.
    49
  28. ​ @Ifoldforweed Hoover? Nah Hoover was a terrible person, and abused his position. Ironic that he was freaky one seeing as how much dirt he would get on others. Definitely read into Hoover more. Unless the sources I had were biased he just... Best way to describe him is the worse possible person you want in control of the FBI.
    48
  29. Yeah I don't get this. At first I was like cool. They have more energy for their batteries. Motors are amazing, and they should. The teams will find the best ways to get more from the motors now. Then they start putting limits on everything about the system while using less powerful fuel... The sport seems to be losing its identity. It needs less rules. More unique designs. Cap the money somehow if that means only richer teams will win.
    47
  30. Or they went in and didn't mention it. Yet he didn't wait and forget about it. So they'd be like what why are you here? "Oh can't remember. I was just worried about my stomach." Also why the hell would the medical staff not beleive him?
    46
  31. I was just watching a Nissan commerical, and thinking whoa. What happened? The cars are so uninspired, and boring. Same thing for 30 years. It is a shame. If Nissan embraced EVs, and gave us Japanese Tuner EVs that can be customized. Fast, quick, without the gimmicks like high tech this or that. Open source or something. Embracing 3rd party customization They'd kill it. I cant beleive we live in a world with Elon Musk as POTUS, and Kia outperforming Nissan. To be fair. Kia deserves all the attention they get. They made a gamble embracing EVs, and it is paying off. Got 60k dollar Kias with the performance of a Porsche. I'd whip a EV6, and loving the Ev4.
    45
  32. People are forgetting the B 21 is supposed to also be a sensor sweep monster. Although the USAF isn't too keen on saying exactly the capabilities. All I know is it will also have load outs. It will be used for recon. Something tells me it will be able to be eyes in the sky like an F 35. Possibly even better due to the size being able to carry bigger equipment. Something also tells me it can do A2A combat. Not dogfight. Just carry either a lot or bigger missiles and target/fire on its own.
    44
  33. I wanna know who are these people this is built for. People want to see the promise improved EVs. Who asked for a two seat car with no steering wheel amongst everything else. Or a 1950s shuttle. It is madness. If any other company pulled this they'd be laughed at. What a terrible future to showcase. I want none of that.
    44
  34. Yeah, that is insulting. "Scrap your army. No other allies. We keep this territory. We promise we won't regroup and attack." A year later, "Russians are being persecuted!" It is even worse when you realize giving up weapons is what got Ukraine into this position in the first place. Ya know their nukes.
    42
  35. Kenya is quite good from what I hear. Relative to Africa, and their forces are quite good at this sort of thing DUE to Africa being a hotspot. I betcha these guys rolled in hearing "gangs" even though it is more like "warlords with lifelong fightere". Ones who probably know every inch of the island. Then were arrogant, and got stomped.
    41
  36. I don't understand how he doesn't see left or right useful as a quick descriptor. It is a generalization. It is useful, because the current bipartisanship is at quite the insane levels. It is hard to ignore that terminology when politicans, and the masses themselves use it. Or willingly identify themselves as it. It doesn't matter if the media is being controlled by billionaires, and it is all a ruse. It is still useful information to get a rough idea of the news sources general stance. We live in a imperfect world, with imperfect people. We are stupid as groups. It doesn't help everyone has such a short attention span so I can see why they use such language. I wonder if any sort of AI agent that is neutral could go through the media to categorize it better.
    39
  37. I've had near death experiences. Doesn't really matter if it wasn't a real threat. My mind and body thought it was. I admit my friend and I panicked at first for five seconds. Yet once we realized there really weren't any options we sort of accepted our fate, and just waited for it. Staring at it coming. It was honestly one of the best moments of my life. All my emotional baggage left my mind, and I just sort of stood their accepting my fate. I've never felt so emotionally light my entire life. It was life changing... For two days. Then my mind went back into robot mode. I'm terminally ill now. There was a moment there where every doctor thought I would be dead within days or a few weeks max. That went on for a while. That didn't effect me like it should when I got the news. It was like, ”Oh. Well that sucks... Okay what now? " Now seeing my mother break down from it was like a pickaxe through my chest and a knife in the gut. That really fcking hurt. Don't think I'd like to see people panicked like that honestly. I think I would try to calm some down, or get aggravated and smack someone.
    38
  38. Logistics, protecting trade. Economic projection. I wonder how big the merchant marine fleet is. Is it still even around? I don't hear anything about it. You should do a video on them. Great video.
    37
  39. Yeah what the hell even I know this. It is pretty common knowledge. While not ideal it definitely can run on all sorts of crap. Not really sure how much different fuels effect it though especially mechanically.
    37
  40. Hopefully Southern Italy gets better too! The disparity is always so surprising to me, and I would have always guessed Southern Italy would be the richer part.
    34
  41. ​ @aperson336 It has the same safety record as other aircraft if not better. The only issue is it is expensive and doesn't have the benefit of auto rotation yet either do any fixed wing. Cannot wait to see a Valor rock the skies too! Or what the attack variant will look like as the Army currently has plans I guess to just use that for its next attack helicopter. (Or maybe the next generation of light scout helicopter which has not been selected. No tilt powdered aircraft are in competition in that though.)
    33
  42. Even the second recipe wasn't bad. Then they removed beef flavoring, because of Hindus. Then the third was so disgusting. Man that was like early or mid 2,000s. They removed trans fat. Then they changed again. I seen studies saying tallow isn't as bad as once thought. Especially compared to certain oils. It has to do with keeping the oil on the burner for long periods. Wish they'd go back to the 93% tallow.
    32
  43. His fake accent was so bad that if he said it is a bad aussie accent of a bad aussie accent I would believe it. Holy shit a voice actor he is not.
    32
  44.  @gfear24  This is why moderation is key. Too much or too little control is crucial. Especially in the long term. Also remember the POTUS is just one man. The three branches also play a part.
    31
  45. ​ @DaMfProtagonist It has the best safety record. Stop getting news from headlines and actually read into things before making such a confident statement. If you're going to hate on it. Hate on the cost, and the fact it burns wherever it lands or something. Outside of that it is one amazing machine. Especially for being first of its kind.
    30
  46. Agreed. I do enjoy Harris videos but don't agree with everything and he does have some bias. Yet it's me the viewer to learn to separate it as he overly simplifies much.
    29
  47. I wonder how their economy will be doing in a year or two. Seems to be doing real awesome but some say it is being propped up and cannot last forever. Anyway agreed with the good point. Yet Ukraine was politically weak and military definitely was lacking.
    29
  48. Bird of Prey! That thing is so unique. Cheap too. I wonder how good the stealth was.
    29
  49. ​ @averagejoey2000 Swiss helped the Nazis with loans, and materials. Selling essential war goods to me is not neutral. Neither is taking valuables which happened to be Jewish. Not judging. Just saying. Sweden helped Nazis too with iron ore specifically. Quite honestly it is nearly impossible to be neutral unless you're a remote island country.
    29
  50. Also who cares what someone else makes. If I have a small pizza and that is more than enough to sustain me. Why should I care that others have a medium to extra large? Sure it would be nice to have a larger one but I don't need it so why demand someone give something up simply because they have more. Maybe their skills are much more valuable than mine and they worked hard for that larger pizza.
    29
  51. ​ @xavega505 For me from watching other videos with other data. They still got time left, because Russia has a lot of natural resources to sell to places like India and China. Yet those countries aren't even accepting the rubel. Russias economy is running off the government buying everything. The economy is over extending, and over heating in a cycle. They have a labor shortage to boot. They will ruin themselves if they keep it up.
    28
  52. Hold up. To be fair the Ukraine war is not indicative of a war with NATO or America. Why? The chances are a war would be like how it was during the first year. America has capabilities where Ukraine did not. Remember the lightning counter offensive UKraine did in the beginning? A war would be closer to that. Only reason why Ukraine stopped was due to having no supplies. Sitting back during the winter was the worse thing they did. America would also go around the defensive lines. Ukraine cannot. No Navy for amphibious assaults. No paratroopers. While America has it all, and doesn't care about country borders. It can strike Russia from basically anywhere. Lastly and most importantly. NATO has AIR POWER, and the ability to do SEAD. America can at least suppress corridors or sectors for air power to go into an area, and wipe out any artillery. And that is the thing. Artillery is a sitting duck to an enemy with air power. With that said artillery is important. I just think saying this style war is actually what all wars will be like is folly. Russias lack of SEAD is a huge issue. They don't have fifth gen fighters that can get close enough into enemy air defense gaps to destroy primary targets.
    28
  53. Africa comes to mind and we are all feeling it. The middle east also has suffered. Colonization will cause issues for generations. Just like us America played ourselves too. Every action has a reaction when even it is the past, and it takes generations to heal. I've always read four to five, but feel like today it might be longer due to the information age.
    28
  54. That is a failure of measurement! There will always be bias! Question is... How many decimals does it take. Why don't they make a perfect flipping machine in a vacuum to do the flipping. Do two sets. One starting heads. One starting tails. A million flips total or a piece. Coin used are changed to brand new ones every 1,000 flips. The flipping machine has to mimic a human thumb, and arm. Good luck making a perfect repeatable machine to do that. Seriously no one has made a flipping machine? Surely a gambler has to try to get some advantage.
    28
  55. It was always about the Petro Dollar in my opinion. Not the oil itsself. It is sad we still import oil. It is complicated, but remember oil, and oil products encompass many things outside of gas for your car. I think we also import it due to there being different types of oil, and lack of refineries for certain products. Something like that. There are a million other reasons. Anyway there are also a lot more countries that have oil now. South America comes to mind. Add in technological improvements that allow us to reach other forms of oil for cheaper as well.
    27
  56. Even idiots can be right once in a while. My grandpa said that. While I am not saying they were idiots. Just that due to them being right about one thing doesn't mean anything.
    27
  57. Happened in Afghanistan as well with America trying to stop heroin production. Turns out a lot of farmers suddenly became heroin farmers when you pay above market price for a crop!
    27
  58. We just won't be able to brute force it at worse. Still a myriad of technologies to somehow make it faster. Through better architectures of the chip is one of them. Maybe we will figure out how to program quantum to computer to more standard things. As of now they are only better for specific tasks.
    27
  59. ​ VunderGuy Yes. America relies on combined forces... I don't understand your point? Ukraine is a weak country. Even with all the stuff we are giving them it pales in comparison to the sheer amount of weapons the Russians have. They are a super power where Ukraine was literally top poorest countries in Europe. In fact I think they had the lowest GDP. America would never allow Russia to dig in so well. Their forces would have been decimated within the first stages of the war. Which is why I am so angry with NATO. Too little too late and when I said that six months ago no one told me. They think 200 tanks and 30 F 16s can somehow win the fucking war. It is madness.
    26
  60.  @colonel-klink14  I think they decided because the airframes are aging and technology has progressed so much in twenty years. Instead of having to spend the huge capital to jumpstart the manufacturing of it they decided to spend it on a newer one. I know they won't give any information but hopefully that one stealth ceramic that is much more durable, lasts longer, withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures while absorbing more is being used. From what I understand they've made and tested it. It just needs to figure out how to manufacture it en masse and worked with I guess.
    26
  61. I seen a shotgun seemingly made from a pipe, and a nail. Unscrew it and place the shell. Then you could pop the bottom of it somehow as the bottom shifted, and it fired. I can't find it. Been a while. I want to see a homeade gun that fires uses an electric trigger.
    26
  62. You're not biased as far as I can tell so keep it up my man! Great quality videos too.
    25
  63. Who said this? Idiots. A well armed and armored vehicle will always be needed as long as small arms is a thing. I foresee more active defensive systems. I read about some future type of armor that required a ton of energy but would help against shaped charges. Think it ran stupidly high currents through the material. Don't quote me. I feel like aircraft carriers might be the first to go simply because they are so expensive and they basically are the main target of any military. Question is how well can they defend themselves against a concentrated 360 battlefield with submarines, air, and ground threats who all can potentially outrange them.
    25
  64.  @Jsarmy87124  I would say grow some skin. Two, explain that language and humor is about intent.
    24
  65.  @1968gadgetyo  I have read in theroy they can. The Osprey got a bad wrap and isn't anymore dangerous than any other helicopters. The problem is the amount of lives those crashes did have. The media and politicians ate it alive and it's sad that tilt rotors have a stigma associated with them due to it. Blackhawk was known for accidents too. I recommend Sandboxx video on the subject. We will see if it is a good craft or not, and time will tell.
    24
  66. Yeah, and people talk about the South versus North in America all the time? What is your point. So who cares if they are talking about the differences in Germany, especially since not everyone knows how different each part is. To be honest I don't see media talking about Germany as seperate at all until fairly recently.
    24
  67. Yeah the lightning and mosquito do not have any love. Even the Corsair. The Mustang for America gets all the glory. Didn't Japan make a late war fighter? That was great?
    24
  68. If you are willing to train people on the job. Instead of expecting them to PAY for school to get a degree then they'd be set. Why get a specialized degree in mining when you can go for something else that doesn't make you work in some remote area? Or pays better? Or does even cooler things? Modern mining doesn't seem like a bad job. Yet they pay too little for what they expect.
    24
  69. Africa is poor due to weak institutions, and governments that are corrupt. They take zero responsibility, and are regressing. They also cannot work together inside the country with tons of conflicts between all the cultures.
    23
  70. Feel like Baghdad is one of those cities that can't catch a break. Gets sacked and destroyed and rebuilt just for a new power to come into the region and repeat. At least it isn't Antioch.

  71. His quotes on the Hyperloop sealed the deal for me on his idiocy. The man said it is super easy. Okay Musk. Musk is probably one of the reasons why the government tries to support other space companies I think . He's a danger to any contract. They don't want him having all the leverage, and realize a competitor is needed just in case he tries doing something to hurt programs. If that makes sense.

  72. That has been a thing forever. I can back you up. Many Lyft and Uber drivers are retired. The thing is. Retired people would drive even before the ride share companies. When I worked for the board of education the special needs kids would get their own rides if they were deemed aggressive. I was a transportation aid. Ya know to make sure the kid doesn't grab the wheel. Things like that. Theyd go to work to pick me up, and then we'd pick up the kid. Then they'd drop me off wherever I wanted. Then rinse and repeat to drop the kids back off home 6 hours after school got out. It was a part time job. Six hours the most. What was cool was I'd get paid for two hours even if I worked half an hour. Love that job.

  73. He's the only one I hear say that due to the steer by wire being fawned on from everyone. Especially those without experience in trucks. It is weird to me he literally thought he was driving the tri motor the entire time? Anyway someone told me the firmware side of things wasn't ready. Got people telling me how much Tesla can upgrade their vehicle les through updates on driving characteristics, and range. I don't know I am skeptical on how much of an improvement people will get. Should have been 100‰ at the price. Everyone hates the rear view mirror. Hah.

  74. Alright so I am thankful he interviewed her, and I have read he is new. Yet these "what ifs" were terrible. Like a computer gamer trying to distort a question in a way to get an answer he wanted. I don't know why he is asking her hypotheticals anyway. This lady is 10/10 with her clarity, and reasoning. She puts the context of history inti her answers incredibly well.
    22
  75. Yup this will help the West overall in any near peer conflict. We know where we will be lacking. What is cost effective. Where to focus our research. What to replace. Where to improve. Cost effective is going to be a big deal if a conflict with China ever happens. No use in having the best of the best when they can throw bodies at ya. Also it's making the West realize our faults. Wether it's being over reliant on one thing or not self sufficient in an other. A lot of people in Germany say they need to work on logistics and stop the cluster fuck that is their procurement. America relies too heavily on technology and losing specialists is very costly, and replacing them takes a lot of time.

  76. Being a victim is a fad now. That is why. Everyone blaming history for everything including their modern predicament.
    21
  77. I wish they at least stated if the technology was worth it. Stealth helicopter just sounds like the dumbest thing to me. Yet if it could be invulnerable to lock ons by MANPADS then maybe not. Someone also said he saw one, and it was very silent. Not sure how much, but now I'm really curious if he is correct. I mean very silent for a helicopter is like saying a 9mm is silent compared to a 50cal. Like yeah I guess you're right, but you're still going to hear the 9mm no matter what!

  78. ​ @GenerationAI2024 I cannot beleive for the life of me that you think a house is harder to build than a data center. A modern data center is a machine onto itsself. It is not just shelter or a box filled with Playstations hooked together. It has multiple times the plumbing, and electrical work than a house does. Many treat their own water, and have their own power or back up power generators. Let us not mention complex HVAC designs, recycling for energy efficency, security, and entire fire suppression. Do you have plumbing for fire suppression in your house? No? Thought so. Pleb. Oh, and you still need the amenities for the people who actually work inside the building. Datacenters have toliets too, beleive it or not. Nothing I listed even touches the actual hardware inside the datacenter. I am only talking about the building that has all the infrastructure that the rows of server racks requires. Unless you got some Batman mansion. A house is like a shed compared to modern datacenters. I feel like you're confusing bitcoin miner who set up in a warehouse with a modern data center.

  79. ​ @bobby6ix We all could do better. Yet America is vast compared to Norway. Doesn't have the density of Europe. Easier to have charging stations for people. It is also blessed with an insane amount of natural resources compared to the population. Yet they've been smart with their oil money for sure. They aren't like some Arab or Mexico even. Never knew Mexico had oil, but they squander it due to political reasons. They lose money! It is like Wellfare I read. Anyway when people complain about how EVs would never work due to cold. You literally just point them to Norway.
    21
  80. Yeah. There are better ways to achieve speed. This is a really dumb question. Wonder if there is a way for trains to use something similar to those torpedoes that use super cavitation to create a bubble of air ahead moving the more turbulent air aside or some shit like that.
    20
  81. Maybe some cultist snapped to reality finally. Some eat up anything that man says no matter how many times he's failed to deliver. Tesla use to be cool. Now they have competition, and are meh. Charging ya for a bare bones design car with bad fittings. That man is far from an engineering or computer science genius. (Or legendary gamer, lol.) Saying hyper loop is functional.

  82. How you going to do legends like Carl Sagan, Bill Nye, Michio Kaku, Neil D Tyson etc, etc, who have been around way longer? Specifically Carl Sagan. I am sure some came before him. Like the 1940-70 voice guys who I feel like there were just two of em. Modern Marvels man! So many came before Hank as much as I love him. I think Hank would disagree himself. It was crazy seeing him come on. I had my phone in the pocket, and was like WTF? Is Hank Green really on? No way. And uhh... Waaaay. What a crazy team up.

  83. Arcades, food court, weird stores like uh. Spencer's. Yet Spencer's or the gimmicky things they sell can be found online. I can tell you why malls are failing. Rent. The prices are outrageous. It is ridiculous how much someone has to pay each month. They think, yeah we will get more traffic, but that isn't the case. Not when you can search online for whatever you want. If they knocked down prices people would go. Open up a super market, a butcher, bakery, and things people have to buy daily. They will go for a one stop shop.
    19
  84. The crazy part is I don't know if you are actually correct as I could see it happening. That says a lot about some Arab countries. It is like they've got nothing better to do.

  85. You sure that is due to renewables? Something tells me there is more to it. Prices everywhere are increasing. Nuclear would be more expensive too. Nuclear is a lot of things, but you won't see any return on investment for ages, especially since every single effin plant goes over budget by billions upon billions. Side note for anyone reading. Decentralization of the grid is one of the benefits of renewables honestly.
    19
  86. I'm not sure if the Russians even know how many usable tanks they actually have at any given moment to be honest. I hear a lot of tanks are breaking down, with crews abandoning them to recover later if possible. What is messed up about Russia is that they've used their men and vehicles as cannon fodder over and over. What were those two BMPs hauling arse going to accomplish that a drone couldn't for instance? Or that single tank taking on a bunker... It is madness. I think their hope is to just keep the meat grinder going till Ukraine loses cannot keep up l, and Ukraine losing support from NATO. America now has to juggle freaken Ukraine, Isreal, and China. I wish some countries in NATO would step up, and do their job. Like France. The entire point of NATO was to defend Europe against Russia. The EU has literally zero other threats outside of Russia. It pisses me off.

  87. ​@@MacristoBeing told to go somewhere else isn't tyranny. It is being pragmatic. If you want to live in a new place, from a people who've you never helped or cared for? Well earn it. No one owes you anything. It becomes more ridiculous that people are picking, and choosing what country they want to go to. Also, illegal immigration doesn't seem to be going well for some countries in Europe. Not all cultures are compaitable, and people are leaving for the wrong reasons who want nothing to do with the culture of the country they seek asylum in. They even seem to drain resources, and not give back. Why should anyone care for such? I'm all for legal migration. I think that is one of the best things about the west. Illegal immigration is an other story.

  88. Tilt Powered VTOL is the future due to retreating blade stall being such an issue for traditional helicopters, among other issues like super sonic blade speeds. I wonder when we will be seeing hybrid craft with electric motors. A lot easier to rotate everything if it is electrical. Not many companies working on huge electric motors for aircraft that I know of. We definitely need some stupid powerful but light motor for them There is a motor that supposedly has 800bhp at 52 pounds by EHelix. That doesn't include cooling so yeah, but try to scale that up, and we can have interesting craft. As you said we have killer processing power for insane flight. Look at Space X flight systen while the craft was landing the rocket last test. The flight surfaces were vaporizing, and it still landed the massive booster after a bunch of other malfunctions. Outstanding.

  89. ​ @yootoobvyooer This would be perfect for a generator. Especically for airplanes, drones, and other military equipment. Anywho we can figure out emissions.
    18
  90. Wouldn't a hybrid engine make this a lot easier power consumption aside? I'm hoping all new IFVs and tanks America produces will be hybrids. Having the ability to in stealth mode would be a significant advantage. Ya know turning off the diseal of turbine when on the attack. Obviously batteries generate a lot of heat themselves. Yet I figured it would be much easier to hide for an hour or so when required. Or when on ambush mode - where only some systems are using power to hide and observe before being able to start up to attack.
    18
  91. If it slaughtered 100 years ago it will slaughter today. Thats why when people say lol using a T-62 whats that going to do. Well it can blow you and your friends into pieces leaving only your left ankle for your platoon to find later.
    18
  92. This looks to me like a cash grab. They are being sluggish on purpose with their EVs with this. There is nothing inherently that bad anymore about electric vehicles accept infrastructure. Yet when I see old manufacturers designing things like this I question why. Why so gimmicky. We've had a century of learning how to place functional buttons and handles. They aren't changing for the better. All these things seem software related. Hopefully VW can make those changes in an update. I also understand that a lot of the world doesn't need non stop 4 hour driving on a highway. So the 185 range isn't a deal breaker. Yet it is 2025. It should have better performance or a much much lower price. This is ridiculous. You buy electric for performance from what an electric motor provides. 325hp, 185mph estimated highway at 70k? What a joke at that price. Thing should be able to do 4 second 0-60mph. Or have 500 miles. Something. Germans should be ashamed like I am ashamed with Ford, and people should be ashamed of Toyota. They half ass their electric car designs, over price what you get, and cry when the public doesn't buy them. Having China beat us is unacceptable, and that is exactly what is happening. Just remember the electric motor is superior in performance. We can build much better ones. Do not buy this junk.

  93. I wont say hydrogen is useless. It has uses in space, metal production, and submarines. Niche uses like that. For EVs of any type or most grid storage? Hell no. Hydrogen loves to leak and corrode things. The air fuel ratio for it to combust is pretty bad as it takes a smaller amount of gas in the air to do so. Then the fact the volumetric density is so terrible. The cost to produce is high. The materials required to make a fuel cell are high. Everything about it is a massive headache. I've been told hydrogen usage is funded by oil companies. The more I learn about it the more I think that is true. There are better options. I just saw an electric jet engine that uses LNG. It was awesome.
    18
  94. I love the first one.. One thing about Japanese apartments. Something about having the water on the floor around the toilet bothers me immensely. I would much rather take space from the living room in order to have a normal American tub. Or just a half tub even. Just anything where I can walk in to take a piss without worrying about the floor being wet. Just wanted to say large open homes bother me. They make me feel vulnerable? I could never live in a mansion. I would spend an hour just checking all the damn doors and locks.
    18
  95. I have no pity for modern nazis like Palestinians/Hamas.
    18
  96. Yeah what was that about? I did a double take as I never heard LIDAR going for a ton of money. What IS the cost then? They don't have any radar which pisses me off. Radar is great for seeing things you cannot see. Like a car in front of the car in front of you suddenly stopping. Makes me mad they basically got rid of it. Basically ultrasound was it not? Either way being able to see through fog, heavy rain, and behind obstacles seems like a no brainer to make auto pilot safer than driving which is the entire goal. Not to make it perfect just much better.
    18
  97. I think there is a way to create energy. Not saying it could be done. Just that energy came from somewhere somehow. We just missing something in physics.
    18
  98. Once I heard the scope of the attack and by whom? I was instantly suspicious, and asking myself the same thing. Isreal, which has one of the best if not the best spy apparatus in the world was completely caught off guard by an enemy they watch like a hawk? I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. There is only two explanations. One they knew something was up, and didn't take it seriously. I guess that can happen. Two, they knew it was going to happen, and let it happen to justify the hell that will now be unleashed. Regardless of how they were caught off guard. HAMAS didn't think this through did they? What happens now is all on them. I get the fued that will repeat. Yet dragging your enemies corpses across the street like animals literally takes any perceived victim hood to me. Yeah act like animals. That will get you support.
    18
  99. I know a few white peoole who said they fled due to racism. Said when it came to employment black people had prescendence. What is sad is one of them was real young! He had nothing to do with apartheid, and was genuinely a good person. Anyway it is depressing to me that SA has gone down hill. I remember learning about it out of my own curiosity back in 2006ish, and being genuinely happy there was a first world, developed country, in Africa. Let us hope they get back on their feet somehow. It reminds me of what happened to Brazil.

  105. What a break down so quickly man. I have been watching your channel for the last year when I was nearly dead in the hospital. Sometimes I will run across the older ones which are easy to spot, and it is amazing to me how far you have come. It is shocking how good your videos have become in such a short time. The quality, editing, and more importantly the information is amazing. I would give money, but dying is expensive. So I just wanted to say thank you for making such great quality content. Keep ip the good work son!
    17
  106. Honestly it helped me while being terminally ill being able to ball park. I knew I HAD to eat a certain amount. A bare level minimum. So seeing a package of food has 200 calories, is good to know. Subtract a bunch of the safe side. I had no idea how little calories veggies actually I had. I thought spinach was a power house to gain weight. If you're a rabbit sure. The volume per carb is terrible on most of them. Anyway the scientist is right on this one sort of. I think we should keep updating micro nutrient value, and keep up on calories within like 10%. Enough to generalize. Because I would also like to bring out absorption rate for everyone is different. I've definitely had things like canned soup not exactly absorb. I don't make Spaghetti Os.
    17
  107. PDCs and Lasers will make cheap drone strikes harder and harder. Also a focus on avoiding mines. People forget the Ukraine war is not indactative of other future wars with the US. The US has the capability to make gaps in air defenses, and go around boarders. PS a PDC is an automated turret that can destroy incoming ordance like missiles and drones. We have the tech. We need to put the sensors and software together! Tanks already can fire missiles from their barrel. I don't see why not drones, especially if the barrels do get larger. The reason why we use shells is because it is cheaper, and you can carry more. That is it. The future lays in whomever hits first.
    17
  108. Good will for Isreal isn't bottomless. They need to tread lightly. I totally get why they've hit some things in Syria. Now it has changed. Their loser PM better see that, because I am not sure he does. He's not good for Isreal long term, and I think is only looking out for himself as conflict allows him to stay in power. Hope the new leaders in Syria aren't lunatics.
    16
  109. He would still have to use it to the full advantage, and be smart. Not get it stuck or break it. Does he have one tank of gas is the real question. Or can he refuel? If he could refill everything he would basically be essentially a moving castle I feel like if the British knew what a tank was they would be able to defeat it. Men inside? Charge it on horse, and molotov it. Set an 18th century I.E.D. If they never seen or heard about it or the way it worked? It would be an effin demon straight out of hell, and the men route surely route saying Napelon is the Devil. Maybe a few brave men would shoot it with cannons, but once that plinged off of it they wouldn't know what to do. I think it would make it even worse if men saw that. Napoleon could just have his men follow behind it breaking their lines, and literally crushing them if they stood their ground. Save the ammo for the calvary. Save the main gun for fortifications. Europe would be his, and stay his. Till the Germans come around with their own, and route the French.

  110. "It is year 5555. We have finally landed on the planet C1225. Our fusion reactors TPV cells need replacing so we set up the back up generator using our water/steam through the tesla turbine." Jokes aside we will be using steam forever. I don't think anything can expand as greatly. Please correct me. (Also the benefits of having it just be water) On an other note. Thermophotovoltaic cells or TPV cells look like the future for nuclear. Why no one is pursuing it hard is beyond me. Thought MIT just released how to make some with greater effiency than most turbines. Yet it only works past 2k Celsius. Surely nuclear energy can reach those temps. So I dont get why not put effort into it. When we crack fusion. Are we REALLY going to just heat water with it?
    16
  111. What we need to do is standardized all plastics world wide. (Also use colors that don't effect them). Specialized plastics then can be taxed. Medical plastics are good. Yet we should try to make them conform. I've seen tons of companies say they have the solution. So I apologize if I don't believe them till I see it. !remind me 25 years. (Just playing. Wish YouTube had that feature. )
    16
  112. Yup. It is crazy that is allowed. Can just give yourself a huge salary, bonuses, and all that jazz while the company burns. Don't ask me how to fix it! I wish I had the knack to have stupid rich people give me money. I swear some start ups are money laundering scheme.
    16
  113. The plan is better than what we are doing. Detering wars by having a massive military works when conflict is brewing. America and NATO can pull it off. I would actually gain some respect for Trump if he were to do it. Yet he and MAGA seem to love Russia, and aren't Cold War Republicans at all. So most of me says Trump will sue for peace at Ukraines expense. I miss old Republicans.
    16
  114. For sure. Sometimes it is better to wait for advances before creating something. I think the Zumwalt and LCS were ahead of their time. With ideas on modularity, easy to upgrade software, and advanced in computers were just not there yet. I think they would have been much better if they were on the drawing boards now compared to then. Also the Osprey. Even though it is the safest VTOL aircraft in service was ahead of its time too. The V 280 is a good example of then and now technology. Let's hope they work. In twenty years we will be seeing more tilt rotors I think simply due to electric motors, and batteries becoming more powerful. Much easier tilting an electric motor. (Not full EV, but hybrids.) Yet if they attempted that now I don't think it would be a good aircraft. Now we just need long stand off missiles that we can spam from cargo planes that are cheap, and with stealth.

  115. No one goes out of their way to destroy Native American land. Dealing with NA land is a headache. I have a good amount of NA in me and if the land isn't being used for something that benefits us all? Then put it to use... The spirits don't have to worry about living do they. They'll be fine. There is a lot more dessert out there and they can move in ways we can't. I'm sorry but pointing at a place and saying "This is spiritual" or "this is historical" isn't enough for any culture to stop development. We cannot live forever in the past . How to judge what is incredibly important or what isn't is beyond me.
    16
  116. You guys who think TSMC is an American company are just wrong. It is a Taiwanese company. That is basically owned by their government. The FABs built here in America are a generation behind. It would set us back if Taiwan was destroyed. The Taiwanese government knows how important keeping the most high tech FABs on their island is. They will never give it up, because it is a huge part of their nation defense strategy.

  118. ​ @Sabrowsky The F 35 can dog fight. That is sort of a myth or a misunderstanding of events that has propagated by journalists who don't know how to so research. I recommend Sandboxx news as to why the F 35 lost to the F 16. One it had fuel tanks, and two it was a prototype that had restrictions. Anyway the F 35s way of dogfighting is... "Oh. You're behind me? Just gotta look behind me, and fire my missile. Poof. Done. Oh missed. Let me fire three more." Yeah the F 35A has an internal gun. The F 35 B or C does not. Remember the Tomcat wasn't the best Dog Fighter either compared to the 15, 16, and especially the F 22. Which is fine, because it was a long range interceptor which is perfect for the USN. Long range, super fast in a straight line, huge payload, and radar for the long distance fighting over the ocean. They still should have had him flying the F 35 C, and using the lift fan somehow to do moves only Hollywood could dream of.

  120. I'm dying from it. Said I'd never become my father. Only drank for 6 years and bam liver and kidney are gone. Covid really hit me hard and got up to a liter of Vodka a day. What's funny is I went in thinking I was going to get off alcohol. Didn't realize I was already ticking down to death. Now I'm 40kg and on dialysis. I need to gain weight but my nausea is getting worse. Dying is expensive. The worse thing for me though is the irony that I have to limit ALL liquids to one cup a day... God if I ever get a transplant and live the first thing I'm doing is chugging a gallon of chocolate milk. Or get a milk shake. Go to 7 11 and try all the flavors without guilt.
    15
  121. That is why I like you. A lot of car guys are ummm... Low brow. They are biased, and many make up nonsense about EVs or use some outdated information from a decade ago. EVs are great. Loads of Teslas on the road with 150k miles and 90‰ charge. The newer battery chemistries are said to be able to keep charge for even a million miles. The thing about that though is the manufacturer will never allow that. Even if the batteries last other parts will fail.
    15
  122. Not even just forgotten. Now he gets recongition, and they are partially saying he wasn't quite skilled at one point! The way I see it? Navigators > Pilots. Yet we give only pilots the fame! Even in Sci Fi like Dune and 40k! Space Marines get all the credit. Who is getting them, their supplies, and reinforcements to keep the Imperium togetger! That is right it is the astropaths(pilots), and navigators(uh navigators!). Anywho that is what happens when you have a woman navig... I am just playing I am not finishing that sentence. I never realized how many poor choices they all made. RIP to the both. I wouldn't have attempted it unless I had confidence in myself to do it right which I never would.
    15
  123. Yeah we haven't learned our lesson. Least now when people talk about the 80s with the government selling crack I can come back with this now. It is crazy we just keep banging our heads repeating the same wall thinking we will make a door. I think spending the money on mental health, and social services instead of prisons and cops would be worth a try. Addicts are going to get their fix anyway. Might as well tax them while they use at some clinic, and make certain things mandatory like going to get mental help.
    14
  124. The progress in batteries is crazy these past ten years. First twenty years of my life batteries weren't that crazy from each other. Then bam! Cell phones and then EVs sped up investments. CATL just said they have a battery with 10 years warranty at 600k miles. Supposedly has similar if not better density. If any degradation happens they'll replace it. That is a million kilometers with little maintenance. I've also read research saying a lot of batteries cap at 90% for newer batteries. Yet I myself wonder what charging method is used. I think any videos like this should focus on newer batteries, but from what I gather since we don't have info it is hard to judge some of the newer chemistries. Can't wait for certain battery techs to leave the lab. Even if you don't care for EVs battery tech is super important for a lot these days.
    14
  125. Tanks absolutely need an automated turret to defend against ordance. Tanks, IFVs, and Helicopters all have a 30mm cannon that can protect it against cheap drones at least. Slow missiles too. We have the tech for a personal defense cannon. Need to get good software/hardware to combine a small fire radar, and a precise turret. Add in AHEAD flak armor for extra coverage. Imagine firing a Stinger or Russian one that escapes me at a helicopter, and the auto cannon just shoots it down. Then immediately aims at you! The pilot simply tapping an I PAD to shoot. Dragging his finger as you haul arse. Then a second missile was fired, and the cannon automatically takes over, and shoots the missile before it can do too much damage. That is how I see the future. With drone swarms countering it.

  126. ​ @quocdanang6586 The ISS panels don't have to deal with an atmosphere. Any solar panel in space is going to be way more efficient. Also cost really isn't an issue for a project like the ISS. Anyway this is one of the reasons why people literally think putting solar panels in space, and beaming energy down to earth is a good idea. It is possible, but the cost of sending material up is so vast, that it wouldn't make any sense. I can't believe people think it makes sense. Anyway focusing is a good idea if the cost of the lens can go down. Those multilayered panels are great, but super expensive. I always thought fresnel lens already captured light from all angles, and focused it to a point..I was misinformed!

  127. Yeah man capitalism is a form of democracy in action. Just we vote with our attention, dollars, and time. If there is a demand - there will be a supply.

  128. I was just talking with someone about negativity bias in a fictional universe. There is a sci-fi book/game called 40k. By all means it is a horrible place to live in. Yet even in that universe as apeshit insane as it is many people live happy lives and some fans forget that. No one picks up 40k to read about Bobus and his wife. Why would the writers put out a book about that? People would be furious. So people think the government destroys their own planets without thought which isn't true. Anyway thought it was interesting that it can carry over to fictional universes too. Wish I had a better example as that setting is really F'ed up.

  129. What is crazy is it you have 70k for the house. You can live rent free for two years. Just go from home to home paying the loan. Or I should say condo? You're living in SK. I don't think it has many suburban cities unless you move to a "rural" area. Like I said. When it works. Anyway yeah something tells me one day in hundred years or so we are going to see revolts. Landlords seem to have all the power again.

  131. Yeah, and ASLM has 5,000 suppliers. Forgot the ones who are simply just as dominate in their respective fields. Carl Zeiss though I feel is one. Then you have NTS group. Many in Europe. A few in America like Cymer. Basically takes a lot of countries Everyone talks about TSMC. Yet I would say ASLM is so much further ahead against its competitors. Truly a multinational company with how they scout talent, and Europe is perfect for that.

  132.  @madsheine2038  Yeah it should be as it was bare bones and tiny haha. That thing is perfect for a drone short of the speed. The most impressive part was the cost! Lockheed actually freaken made a plane at a shockingly low price. They would charge ya 10$ for a freaken paper airplane.

  133. ​ @LastBrigadier Disease mainly killed my people. The fact we couldn't unite. Once disease and infighting (or lack of being united) comes into the picture you are pretty much screwed. It also took hundreds of years ya know?
    13
  134. Yeah, but at the same time I understand NASA. Their funding is limiting. If it means save Hubble versus something better I can't understand them letting it decay. Remember to vote! Make your voices heard.

  135. What is worse is when they iniect fluid and charge ya the same for that! I haven't had it yet if it is so good then why isn't it more common! It doesn't seem like a hard process.
    13
  136. Yeah he is the reason why we still put guns on even newer jets... I am sorry but technology has changed significantly and the last gun kill was decades ago... And I think that was an A 10 shooting a helicopter... In Desert Storm... Someone can correct me. Vietnam? Sure missiles sucked back then but electronics have become so advanced in the decades since. Use the large space for a sensor or more fuel or something. Instead of worrying about that . 1% chance all your missiles will be out and you actually get into range to use it without getting blown out yourself. I think Lazerpig has a good video on him and the so called fighter mafia. They had some ridiculous ideas on how to fight wars.
    13
  137. Well seeing how selfish NATO is... I don't know if it matters. A lot of countries were saying "oh hey we need this equipment for our own military incase we get invaded". My question is WHO!? The armies OF NATO are for Russia basically! Both sides literally developed their armies to fight each other. China doesn't have a way to get over and invade NATO. There are no other singular threats in or around Europe... If one country goes rogue they'd easily be dealt with. NATO sent too little too late. I believe the US likes this stalemate - bleed Putin dry. Give enough for Ukraine to gain minor victories but not enough to win. As for Putin. No one was going to invade Russia. He is doing it for his legacy to resurrect Mother Russia to its former glorious power! Where the Russian Bear strikes fear into the west and the Moscovian people prosper... Instead he showed Russia as a paper tiger and now has no choice but to continue going. Dude had it all but glory.

  138. My friend and I absolutely saw one late at night when he was bringing me home. I saw something and was like huh that has weird lights. You see that? Is that a helicopter? So he stops the car and at the time we are thinking it is coming towards and nearly right above us. Yet after looking for a minute it hasn't moved at all so I tell him to turn off the car. Still nothing! So we get out of the car and it is just floating above us. Now here is the weird thing... We could see the silhouette of it in the shape of a triangle against the night sky. It had three light, and one bigger in the middle that reflected light weirdly - almost like looking at a red marble with an inner light. Yet there was no noise at all on top of it. So that either means the thing was massive and high up in the sky. Or super quiet and low to the ground... So it couldn't be a helicopter as I'm use to them. Anyway we are standing there for five minutes and this was right when cell phones had cameras so it had like 1 mega pixel, haha. He tried though. Anyway then it took off like a bat out of hell. There was no acceleration. Just standing still and full speed. It traveled north about a mile before going over a hill and tree line and then a split second later appeared where the hill dipped heading east over the ocean. With how fast it popped east I doubt it even turned - just a hard right like a upside down L angle. That acceleration and G force would have killed anyone. I only told a few people about the story. Years later an ex I told it to showed me a story about the TR3B and sure enough it is it. Amazes me how so many others seen it. I'm a skeptic yet I cannot deny what I saw. I won't pretend to know what it is or speculate. I just know what both of us saw and know how fast the f***ing thing went and that it was silent. I wish I had something to judge the size or speed of it, but it was a bright night sky with only some clouds. Darker then the night sky though! No sonic boom by the way - complete silence. Again it didn't acceleration not like a rocket. Shot off like a bullet. Total time was probably a bit less then ten minutes. When it was hovering it did absolutely nothing. Just hope it is on my side!

  139. He doesn't take binders for the phosphorous and struggles with potassium or something? I eat beans pretty often on dialysis. My levels of phosphorous aren't ideal, bit my potassium has to be supplemented. In fact they keep telling me to eat bananas. I was life threatening low on potassium due to listening to the diet. All of our bodies are different though and I have hepatorenal. So I absorb food differently. Just saying those guidelines aren't the word of God. Oh and my phosphorous isn't a problem when I take my binders correctly. Let me just rant real quick- FUCK LIQUID RESTRICTIONS! Ugh! Why can't my kidneys just produce urine. Ill never complain about waking up constantly in the middle of the night to go!

  141. Only pretty boy F 14 pilots play that. Admitedly sadly no longer a thing, unless you are uh Iranian I guess. Everyone else? Song 2, by Blur. They even wait for the chords to drop before turning on their after burners. No jokes aside. I don't think there is a better hype song for anything.
    13
  142. Yeah it is funny people calling America propaganda biased when comparing to China and Russia. Russia a known liar on capabilities. The F 35 and Osprey are so unfairly treated. F 35 is possibly the most dangerous of all fighters due to the way it works with specialized craft, and being a flying sensor suite. I haven't kept on the F 22 new upgrade. I hope the B 21 is also like the F 35. No reason why it cannot have a better sensor suite, and carry A2A missiles without help.

  143. Matt and Two Bit DaVinci need to be more thorough, and not suck up everything these "upstarts" feed them.. I feel like they give scammer tech companies ammunition to sucker in wannabe investors. I'm not saying don't post videos on them. Just more skepticism would be nice, and pointing out the majior flaws.

  144. Water and ice do have a taste. Try pure water that's been di ionized. Containers taste different even when not stored. I prefer chocolate milk from the red plastic cups over glass or hard plastic. I once was given an infusion through and tasted it. I asked them was that iron or something and they said yes. Same goes for saline solution which I love especially when I'm allowed to drink anything. Potassium supplements have a strange metallic, battery, or salt like taste.
    13
  145. Agreed. I would bet money on it.

  146. I don't think so. Terrence is literally ignoring a lot of what Eric is saying when he is pointing out what is wrong, and just literally firing back his own ideas. I don't think he is digesting what Eric is telling him. He is shrugging it off, and fighting with semantics plus philosophy every time. Especially in the 1x1=2 argument. PS: Eric sucks at explaining multiplication. It is about adding what is inside groups. I bought two packs of beers with 6 beers in each. How many beers total? 12. So 2 packs with 6 beers equates to 2x6=12. Well we drank nearly all the beers so now we have one pack with one beer left. How many beers? Just ONE beer, because we don't count the pack, Terrence! 1x1=1. I go home with the pack of one beer. I drink that last beer. Yet still have the pack. So how many beers are left? Ah yes, ZERO. 1X0=0.
    13
  147. Screw having any sort of mandated way of fighting. You do what is most effective. Period. So far high tech weapons have worked. The Javelin comes to mind. Yet blowing money on heavy tanks that can be easily blown up by a single soilder doesn't. I am curious how they will handle any fortification. Doctrine will say air or navy assets. Reality says none are available please hold or deal with it. Basically being low tech to be low tech in today's environment is stupid is what I am saying. A bunch of rifle men will get destroyed if the enemy out equips them, and the USMC cannot go into a battle of attrition with China. We have to have force multipliers against China, period. This goes for all branches. The problem is China is catching up, and equipping their solders with solid technology as well at a rapid rate that may just be good enough. China doesn't have to cross an ocean. Only a sea. I can't find if the USMC is getting a v 280 variant. That would be perfect for their light rapid force.

  148. You can with skillshare and audible!

  149. My first... Prejudice or generalization of Chinese from China as a whole came around from living around these two large casinos called Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Tons of Chinese came there from NYC on busses every weekend. This was from early 1997 to 2012. They would steal TP, soap, spit and throw cigs on the ground and just took anything free. The workers - at a time they had free food for them. Amazing food too! Well one would come in with a plate and just load it up to where it was comical and then walk away to the next and who would come and do the same. They'd steal food anytime they could I was told and didn't pick up any messes. They were notorious for just everything like this. No respect, tipping, or being friendly. Loud and mean basically to other workers when they were off the clock. It was crazy but I learned to just not like them.

  150.  @rap3208  I read both sides. Have anything else to say? India is lying? Fishermen families? Buddhist aren't setting themselves on fire? Educational camps are good rigght? I get it you don't want any negative points, citizen. Keep up the good work.

  152. Honestly you're worried about fringe cases. If the triple redundacy is messed up that bad that vehicle is most likely totalled. I mean the thing is built solid, and high off the ground. Person would have to run over a 2 foot rock or an other car. Like what do you do when the steering rack and pinion doesn't work on a regular car? If it works for planes. It will work for vehicles, and will be the future for sure.
    12
  153. Yup. TikTok is full of ignorance. Worse than YouTube, but I forget there are many young people here. I for one am glad Bryan isn't fooled by it, and calls it out. Many people are afraid to even defend Isreal a little bit or the BS spewed. I wish Isreal was more discriminate, and careful. I don't like their right wing government or little colonies. Yet I choose the lesser evil to a situation where peace doesn't seem to be an option, and think it is them. I remember any time a terrorist attack happened that the people of Gaza cheered death to America and Isreal. I remember long ago in October when they did a mass assault, and slaughtered nearly 2,000 people. By Gaza governing body no less that admits it wants genocide. I think any country would react the same, if not worse. Yet since it is Isreal it gets much more hate, and so much more scrutiny. I see no easy solutions to fight those who hide amongst their own populace, and use them as human shields without thought to collateral damage, and I blame Hamas for every civilian death for a war they started. Imagine if Mexican cartels ruled Mexico and then launched a massive attack with death squads, and took 100 hostages? Mexico would regret that for a half century too. If Palestinians could wipe out the West, and Isreal? I think the majority would vote to do so. Luckily for us all non Muslims they cannot. Lesson here is don't attack Isreal. They will fight tooth and nail, and take more land. You think the Arabs learned this lesson in the Six Day War.

  154. I like the change. Jason is honestly charismatic. His ability to give out perfect data while talking without slipping WHILE driving is insane. This video just shows how important having an editor is. Takes Jasons charisma, and turns it up a notch.
    12
  155. Your answer is... MONEY. It is that simple. Fission has never been cheap, especially against gas or coal. Fission price has only increased and not decreased. You can only make it so cheap, because as South Korea proves with their scandal. Nuclear is only safe if everyone actually follows the rules. Proving people are following the rules costs MONEY! This goes before all the other political BS, and gas lighting and ignorant lies. If people could actually get the technology to be safer while decreasing cost then we would be using it no matter how weary people are of it. So your answer is simply. 🦀 Money money money money 🦀 - Mr Krabs.

  156. Flywheels have been around since 6bc with Potters flywheels. Most likely even longer. A German inventor Presbytr recorded some of his machines using em. In the 1100s According to wiki. I am not familiar with him. Then of course you have windmills, grain mills, and sharpening wheels, and such also used the idea. Just not for electricity. Then of course James Watt use of them really took off with helping steam engines run smoothly. The E Dumpster is a giant dump truck for open mines that doesn't need to be recharged ever at the mine it is at. It goes up hill to collect ore. Then since it goes back down hill loaded. It gets all the energy back from regenerative breaking to repeat the process. It gets the energy essentially from the heavy ore. It is cool. It shows how rocks on top of hills or higher elevations have a lot of potential energy, and I doubt most people think about things at higher elevations having potential energy that can be tapped. Anyway just pointing it out! That is cool work. Too bad we didn't embrace batteries back then. We would have crazy electric motors, batteries, and flywheels I think by now. Can't wait to see what it looks like 40 years.

  157. Putin always seemed coldly calculated to me until fairly recently. Always had a solid facade up. Yet did you see the other video Joe put up a few days ago with Putins general reading him a report?! Putins face looking like he was holding back the biggest fart, along with terrible acid reflux? I never seen him so visibly unhinged in my entire life. The invasion was worth it just for tha. I hope it spreads as a meme. The soldiers posting reviews is amazing! I came to post to the comments how that soldier laughing at their lack of selection was top notch humor. Selection is how I compare stores the myself so that was so relatable that he was judging Russia on that. Those poor sods... I hear every third item is pine flavored.
    12
  158. Yeah, and make sure you do the same for other countries too when comparing. What I see is Americans like the guy above me. Picking the best of a specific trait from each European countries. Then comparing it to the worse of specific places in America. "Yeah Norway is rich has a high GDP. Ireland has great taxes. Europe is great!" Fails to mention the super high taxes, and cost of living. Hard to find a job even though it is great when you do. In Norway. Fails to realize America is much more massive. People can actually be a bum 24/7 without winter killing em. We don't even take crazy people off the streets like some countries do. Some don't even realize how badly inflation effected the world due to geopolitical events and covid. For some reason they think the POTUS is responsible for that. Basically people are ignorant. The irony of it is that when I actually talk to people. Most say they are doing great, but feel like everyone else is doing poorly. For us poor people inflation on groceries is the number one culprit with negativity bias being second. People don't like to say they are doing good out of no where, but will freely complain.
    12
  159. I'd actually rather him pay off at least a few million to each family. So basically I want him out, working making money. With half the money made (Not profits. Made) goes to the families. I would say a bigger percentage. Yet if it is too small he won't have any incentives to work. Yet if he can't do that? Lock him up for sure.
    12
  160. I need a liver and kidney transplant. You'd think dying and feeling weak and shit is the worse part. No it is the fact I have a fluid restriction and cannot produce urine. Drinks are like the highlight of my day. So it is VERY important I have exactly the right juices(I combine three into one. One of them cannot be replaced at all and only one store carries it.), lactaid protein, and soda. I was drinking Dr. Pepper for a while but sick and tired and now trying all types of ginger ale to replace it. My mom who does the shopping, God bless her, is getting super annoyed with me as I have yet to find a soda to replace it. If I ever get a transplant the first thing I'm doing is chugging a huge glass of ice cold chocolate milk. It's the nectar of the gods! I am going to drink until I cannot drink it anymore and puke and then drink again haha. No seriously it's pathetic but people have no idea how hard it is to be thirsty 24/7 but being surrounded by fresh cold water. I wish my kidneys didn't fail.
    12
  161. How was it a disaster exactly? Genuinely curious.
    12
  162. Yeah overextending forces has been their downfall. I hope Ukraine wins but eventually help will run out.
    12
  163. No way about it. Both aircraft of this firguation and capabilities are so sadly forgotten.
    12
  164. I don't know if you know this. New car companies are almost never profitable for the first ten years. Let alone one using a completely new technology that many people outright hate. As much as I hate Elon now. He was smart with how much Tesla started focusing on manufacturing. Ever see the Monroe Live I think it is? It basically breaks down vehicles and explains things about car manufacturing. When he broke down one of the Teslas he would go over it. Tell you how so many design choices of the car were made with manufacturing in mind. Everything basically was, and he thought it was genius. I haven't seen the Cybertruck videos. Pretty sure that is an exception. It is a shame. People judge EVs on 2012 cars or first generation EVs. I hope these companies succeed as they are improving in every metric year in and out. You look at a top of a line Lucid, and are like holy shyte. The performance beats so many cars twice to three times the cost, but it is a daily driver luxury sedan beating the snot out of dedicated sports cars. Yet then you learn they are losing so much on each car. They are a god damn steal. Anyway price is dropping significantly each year. Once the price is cheaper, and chargers are made with range going up we will see more EVs. Electric motors are basically superior. Until someone makes a working vane engine which I hope they do!
    12
  165. Pretty much everyone in the western defense industry and then some like Korea since many countries like Poland are sick of the wait list for American weapons. Ukraine is also a test bed for weapon manufacturers ATM. Most countries are replacing the weapons and ammo they are giving to the Ukraine. Either for updated ones or just outright. It isn't just the arms manufacturers themselves. You have those who supply everything from tools to generators, heaters, clothes, non perishable food and, medicine, and of course war materials. I can't speak for the Russian oligarchs. How the money flows in Russia is way beyond me but there are definitely some profiting off this. I know there are Chinese, North Korean, and Iranian groups smuggling sanctioned goods to Russia. I guarantee you there is a huge black market going on to get high valued items to Russia for a premium. The smaller the item the better.
    12
  166. @chinaman1  Yeah, because European car manufacturers are making slow, over priced EVs. Germanys entire car industry is a mess, and so what is your point? ICE sales are still declining in nearly every country, including every European one.. BEV sales are UP globally including many European countries like the UK Just not western ones, like Germany. BEV sales declined just slightly. ICE sales across the board. So be real. European market, and industry is a mess right now getting whipped by China globally. (American legacy except Tesla.)
    12
  167. ​ @yourlogicalnightmare1014 You act like the US governemt controls the world and makes all technology. So you should say PEOPLE won't allow it. Whether it is the CCP, US government or some global cooperation. Anyway nothing is free or should be free. Still need to make and maintain things so people who do that should be paid.
    12
  168. I think you're mistaking mispronunciation with accent. A mispronunciation is not knowing how to say it. An accent is when you pronounce with your native dialect. That is the way I see it. For this? I'm not sure. Yet Simon is pretty good overall I would say, and a hell of a lot better than most. Also yeah with the scripts. Man has 20 channels to read. There seems to be a man trapped inside the basement with Simon named Kevin, but I've never actually seen proof that this Kevin exists. Leading me to believe Kevin is a figment of Simons imagination, because he's been stuck in that basement with no sunlight for so long reading scripts. Kevin is in fact a teddy bear sitting on a shelf.

  170.  @tonyhenthorn3966  I am sick of hearing the Concord was canceled due it losing money. It was making a few million from 1980 on. Maybe not worth the hassle, but it was making money. Anyway I never really cared for the Concord, but I didn't know about the discrepancy between the Soviet airline, and Concord when it came to maintenence hours. 25,000 hours to 500... That is such an insane difference, and an impressive one. I wish he went into detail on why, because the Soviets for all their woes usually were not that far behind the West. Or so I thought. That rivals airliner engines today I think. Although I couldn't really get an average when googling. Mostly flight cycles. Liquid Pistons X Engine which is a form of rotary engine cannot even get over 1,000 hours before a rebuild, lol. They need to step up. (JK. Jet engines don't have apex seals.)
    11
  171. One thing I always thought was interesting is that Romes Legions were basically engineers too. They built roads, bridges, fortifications, and even things like aqueducts as they conquered. How many armies did that ya know? Improve infrastructure. Ceasers Legion won a double siege while vastly out numbered by digging fortified trench lines. I can't remember how it is spelt. Alesia?
    11
  172. Also the T90m was hit by something at the very beginning right before the first Bradley engaged, and then skirted off to the right, and up before retracing its steps. What hit the T90m before everything happened I don't know. No one seems to know. You can see it on Red Effects video. Also the T 90m when it hit a tree was slammed by a FPV drone before the crew bails. So four attackers. Still many questions. Bradley's did a damn good job. Shit was straight out of a video game.
    11
  173. Oh Elon the gaming legend who got to top rank in Diablo and PoE 2 without basic game play knowledge? The guy who said he could Hyper Loop, and naysayers were dumb? A scam from the beginning. Cyber truck guy? With the "subsonic 9mm ammo" rated armor? Elon knows nothing, and the average person still doesn't know what the F 35 offers. It is worth the price. Israel just proved it. A war like Ukraine/Russia is rare. If the US was involved it would just go around the mine fields, and defensive barriers. I don't think people know what the Air Force alone can unleash when told to do so. US ranks top 1,2,3 and 7th largest air forces in the world. This doesn't include Armies artillery, and our tanks. Anyway the F 35 is a stealth radar that can coordinate other aircraft and weapon systems.

  174. Thank you. Waygu has so many urban myths surrounding it... Like the cows get massaged all day in a tempature controlled environment eating some special food that is better than even what we eat ourselves all while listening to Mozart in a hot tub. Personally I think it is over rated. Too much fat for me honestly even if it is "intramuscular". Give me a good strip steak thanks. Also people don't realize it is the breed of cow that matters the most. Cannot buy the cows the Japanese use but American and Australia are developing their own which I hear can be just as good.

  175. Huh that's cool. I figured it had something to do with a type of radiation since they fly so high. Free particles or whatever.
    11
  176. I wished Ukraine did a gulf war style hook through Russia. Bypass all the mines and fortifications to suprise the Russians before coming back around towards the lines from behind. Yet that would have stopped western support and all types of issues. Which is pure BS. Ukraine having to fight a bigger opponent with its hands tied. Anyway it is all crazy these days. I just hope they don't make any stupid choices and destroy half their army in one swoop.

  177.  @SkylineTTurbo  A lot of people shouldn't be driving whatever the age. I have two a holes who go up my street like racing a quarter mile. It is 25mph and they double that. Yet there are kids around plus a hill that definitely will block some of your POV. We should add speed bumps.

  178. Think a similar story happened in WWI or WWII. Some verse from the bible let some British. Lemme see if that's close enough to Google. Yup! Vivian Gilbert it was .

  179. ​ @clavichord Putin started expanding again the second Russia became stabilized again. It took a while. Old Soviet countries saw the writing on the wall. Saw Russia becoming more aggressive again, and didn't want to be controlled again. So they joined NATO on their own violation. Russia has done this to themselves to the point even countries like Finland have joined. Russia dug their own grave with countries joining NATO by their actions in Ukraine 2014, Georgia, and Chechnya. So no the US is not responsible outside of actually having a military to be on par with Russia. Putin saw how weak politically Europe was, and took advantage of it. He realized Europeans can't defend themselves. His only mistake was not planning for Ukraine to actually fight back. Russia is the aggressor. Not the US. US has only helped countries secure their own country. No one was threatening Russia with war by the way. Only an insane man would invade Russia.

  182. Yeah and while the program had issues I think Australia has the right mindset. Japan and France deals wouldn't have kept Australian manufacturing compared to the other deals offered like with the US and UK. In my opinion I want our allies to be able to develop and build their own. Sure purchasing might get you more or better than home grown however geopolitics changes quickly. Also as in the case with the Ukraine war we see how important it is to be able to keep your manufacturing base and expertise around. Of course neither of this matters if the program is poorly ran or corrupt.

  185. Hogwash. I would take a modern city with all of its infrastructure over some piece of stone vanity any day of the week. More people live in cities today than ever. WTF do you mean modernist cannot build a city? That is the eye of the beholder. I think two things some of you suffer from is one. You don't appreciate modern structures, and the constraints ancient structures have. You see a glass skyscraper, and are not impressed, because it is so ubiquitous. Secondly, you fail to see the survivorship bias at play. Only the high quality buildings were kept, and maintained. Over generations those buildings added up, with the average or poorer ones torn down. Over generations it turned into the cities we love today. Rome and Prague were not made in a single day. Some of those land marks were centuries apart. Oh did I mention many stone quarries would be depleted if we went back to building everything with classical architecture. It is a non renewable resource. It costs a hell of a lot more to mine, and transport it these days with so many cities having already depleted the local stone in some.

  186. My grandma and grandpa was a nuclear engineer along other jobs. She was a safety inspector, and she made a little less but she worked less. Someone had to take care of the five kids while working, but my grandpa had WAY more hours of work. Both of them worked their asses off. Yet my mom has the audacity to bring this up in modern times. You work for your skills. Also employees should be able to see what all are paid.

  190. I actually try bringing this up. I can never find the source of it though but the Black Hawk absolutely crashed a ton. I believe it was discussing the Osprey safety record and how it was largely overblown in comparison to other test helicopters (Let alone something so advanced. The Osprey did have huge loss of life per crash though, but avionics have become a LONG way and I hear it's easy to fly and transition. Politicians used it against others and the media is the media. Tilt powered aircraft are the future anyway because helicopters are reaching physicical limitation with retreating blade stall and supersonic tips. Better to learn how to use them now. Everyone said the Defiant was the clear choice.

  191.  @CptSpears007  We have enough food to go around every day. Logistics, preserving food, and the will to help is what is missing. Sadly a lot is politics or civil. It is why I can't stand all organic, all natural, non GMO, no preservatives/ pesticides/antibiotics, etc fanatics. Organic food expires and takes more farmland and modified plants can use less water and give more food per acre. Also natural doesn't mean healthy and same with organic. Sustainable and efficient practices definitely need to be more widespread.

  192. Yeah it just stops cheap consumer drones is all. Gives shielded ones less range. Thought the whole point of lasers was due to the fact we know how to shield electronics. Not that microwaves have never been helpful. Drones are just going to have to be shielded from both types making them more expensive, and need to weigh more. We already have autonomous drones that will still work when jammed. Cool tech none the less. Suprised I never heard of it till now honestly.

  193. I laughed and I get the joke, but even if you understand rocket science you still have to build the tools that build the tools who build the tools. Speaking of that does anyone know a good video on who creates industrial tools? My uncle use to fix manufacturing lines that broke down. Like who makes, design this assembly line and the parts! I was watching an Elon Musk video where he showed off this crazy ass mold for the truck.

  194. Agreed. Would love anything military related from Sandboxx... ALSO videos on Russian Air power used if possible. I get so much different information when I look into it as some is outdated for sure. I don't know the capabilities of a SU 35 for instance or the cost versus the Mig uhh 29. Starting with the SU planes still used. Or hell their avionics and how they compare to the US. Specifically the SU 25 Frog Foot and why it isn't as good as the newest A 10s - [something to do with the targeting.] Just more Sandbox! Best news for anything really.

  195.  @rvilloch3132  Sure it is going to be vulnerable and an easy target. It still has a pretty deadly gun and can at least protect against indirect fire or splash from artillery. I'm not saying they are going to be winning any battles but to say it is useless is just also crazy. Hell if it takes a Javalin to destroy one - that is one less javelin to worry about for your better tanks. I'd still rather be in a hull down tank position in a T-62 over being exposed trench with a MG42 or Maxim. Both don't seem great odds at surviving if the enemy knows your location in today's battlefield though. The T-62s are still deadly against lighter armored vehicles too. Definitely don't want to be in a truck and run up against one. I'm sure Russia will get some usage out of them. Personally I'd stick them at a place I wanted to defend so they sit basically idle until needed. The only huge downside I see with these sides using these old weapons is the stress on logistics - like where are they getting ammo and parts. Yet if it is guns they need then they are useful.

  196. I mean the same thing could be said about cops being afraid of dealing with black people. So much crime and violence from a tiny part of the population, eh? What I am wondering is those windows. They look too tinted, which will definitely get your vehicle taken if the cop chooses where I live. Most will give a warning, but if they can't see into your car? They'll ask for the window down, so you aren't doing something like grabbing a gun. Don't see why him being a NFL player matters.

  197. AI will be useful. Maybe not in the ways we thought. Rarely does tech work that way though. Anastasia just did a video on new hardware with great potential that went way over my head. Millions of times more efficent than modern computing. I beleive right now we will not simulate the human brain anytime soon. I do not beleive we will give free thought to anything either. (Especially at random. If we make sentient AI it will be with purpose.) You all should look up the video. I don't think it is possible to make a digital brain. The brain might fire neurons on or off, but it varies in signal strength, and length. I think we will need a combination of analog, digital, and quantum to make one. I am starting to beleive the human brain does in fact use some quantum computing. The brain just uses 20 watts like WTF. If our brain can do it our computers can. Either way the AI hype is worth trying. I see no downsides.

  198. Yeah it just makes sense. I mean we still have other helicopters or platforms if you really need it. Shame. SF could've used a small helicopter like the Kiowa or further back the Little Birds. Those pilots can be a menace even with dumb rockets, and what... A 50cal? Waiting to see the attack variant of the V-280. Hope they do what they did with the Cobra. Take the platform and slim it down with room for just weapons.

  199. It occured to me if you make the vanes softer than the inner walls. You can have them self sharpen on your vane engine like rodents teeth. The vanes can thus be whittled down, but always touching as they "grow" sort of like a brushless motor. That way you only have to replace the vanes. I wonder if that would work. How you would go about making the vanes JUST the right pressure on the walls with the centrifugal forces is beyond me.

  200. Actually! Already been done with a train on a hill lol. Lots of variations of the gravity battery. These ones using blocks are a scam. Except the ones using already made holes or something. A water tower would work better, and companies are doing that. The thing is there are so many companies working on energy storage as it is the future. So many technologies vying for it, and there are many chemical or thermal batteries that work better for cheaper. Redox for instance looks great. It has to be cheap and scalable. So a liquid chemical battery is great since making a container larger is easier than building a bigger tower. Since a container benefits from square cubed adding one foot equals way more volume. I'm all for renewables. Just not with this when there are better solutions. Redox tech looks great.

  201. ​ @OrdoMallius  WTF are you on about. Europe has either just as good if not better equipment and can actually manufacture their latest weapons. Russia has to buy its components from the West.

  204. I bet they are working on hypersonic bombers to fill the gap the B1b will leave. Having a speedy heavy penetration bomber that can take advantage of a short window of opportunity is always handy. Even if it is just a missile truck with standoff missiles. They can launch, get in range to unleash their payload and use their speed to GTFO. I feel like bombers like the Raider will probably be standing off somewhere outside of using it's stealth to keep it hidden but close enough. Hopefully we get those REDs and learn to make hybrid vehicles. Super efficient REDs will change a lot of aircraft and missiles and SCRAM is of course good up to mach 20 or some shit.

  210. I am hoping the AF is simply waiting for the new engine, and active flow control technologies. We have new engines on the horizon. Rotating detonation; scram hybrids. I also saw a new electric/natural gas hybrid which was nuts too. Should be super sonic and sub sonic efficently. Alex touched on active flow which is super cool for better stealth. Going to have flying triangles soon. Perhaps UFO shape one day haha. Anyway future is interesting. I hope I live long enough to see it as I am terminally/chronically ill.

  211. It is so true. Suffeted double organ, and got hepatic encelopathy a ton of times. Toxin build up starving and damaging the brain essentially. My brain isn't what it was. I am just realizing it after the government sent me like 12 letters, forms, checks, all saying conflicting stuff with some of it. My working memory is damaging. Everytime I woke up in the hospital I would feel like a piece of me was missing, but don't know what. It is like a piece of me is missing, and right on the verge of grasping, but to no avail. Anyway I am bummed out about it. One thing losing all your muscle. Yet your intelligence? That sucks. Oh my ADD is the worst it has ever been. I am not entirely convinced intelligence is as bad as it was. I think academia in particular is stuck in the past. It values skills that are not nearly as required.

  214. That is awesome. Iemember watching some show on Discovery I think. Back when it wasn't reality TV. They were talking about either a hypothetical planet or one they discovered that had water. Yet it wasn't water like us. They called it like water or ice (insert number here). It would have had properties entirely different. Oh duh. I should stop commenting before I finish the video. I didn't realize there was different forms of water naturally on earth. Only difference I think was they were explaining the different forms of it being in one gigantic ocean pressing on itsself.

  215. Get over OpenAI closing. Do you want our geopolitical enemies using our technology against us? I don't. So for security reasons alone. Good. In a stable world I'd agree, and be pissed too. I also don't care if the AI learns from something online. As long as it isn't actually letting you read their entire books, or play a movie then it is whatever. Oh some LLM processed your shitty art that is spread across the internet already? Whatever. Well those artist can get over it too. It is no different from me telling you about a book I read. Or letting you watch a movie I bought. Or me taking inspiration from any media. I am sorry the cat is out of the bag.. This is why you don't put things up on the internet quite honestly. It is there forever, and technology is constantly changing. I am going to take down all my pictures on the internet myself. Probably too late. But yeah, the cat is out of the bag. The best we can do is make sure they aren't actually infringing. I don't think learning alone crosses that line. It is honestly good for humanity letting AI see our art, and media.

  216. Just wait till we get 3d printing down in let's say a truck or a series of trucks to create an FOB.. Be able to deploy a FOB that can produce their own small drones, and the parts to repair them. Seeing that we are progressing the tech from unique plastics to metal. Then add in a ton of small swarm drones, that fly like a swarm of bats. You can choose a sector, and they can go out and swarm that location. From making holes in windows to allow themselves in to seek and destroy. They don't have to be kamikaze either eventually. Then after they are done cleaning up a place they can go back home to their launchers, and remotely charge. All on their own. Once AI becomes better we won't even necessarily need to use GPS either making EW nigh useless. After they are done people in conventional means can come in, and do what they please. Going to be hell for regular soldiers that is for sure. If it were up to me? I would be spending BILLIONS on point defense systems till we have systems like the Expanse that can fire at anything flying just about.

  217. Yeah you cannot just copy it due to culture reasons. A state owned company that is ran by a Monarchy won't work unless that Monarchy actually holds power. Monarchy and dictatorships aren't exactly inherently terrible. The old president of Singapore comes to mind. Yet it would take a great effin leader with a culture willing to listen, and follow to even have change. Regardless of what type of government it is, people have to be willing to work together. Africa? Nothing against Africa, but the tribal/clan warfare in many places makes ANY sort of government impossible. Especially with the borders created so badly(although honestly tribes need to get over themselves, move on, and stop blaming Europeans for the perpetual violence. Take some responsibility.)

  218.  @PiDsPagePrototypes  A 10 is over rated and obsolete. The gun on that thing caused so many blue on blue issues it isn't even funny. It was the bombs it was dropping that got it the most kills. I can't argue with the cost, moral boost, or psychological effects on the enemy about it but from a purely performance base it is garbage. It will not be able to even fight with the gun in a peer to peer engagement without air supremacy and will still be super vulnerable to the prevalence of MANPADs. There is a good reason the AF has wanted it gone... Cheaper drones seem like the better option these days for CAS. Or a Super Tuscan even for SF. The problem with the A 10 30mm was the accuracy. They have improved targeting since Desert Storm but a strafing run is suicide these days. You do NOT want that thing firing near your damn position. Most I have read preferred an AC 130 every day of the week... Also it is very hard to find many reports on the gun. Damn I hate writing that but it is true. My favorite air craft but once I looked into it trying to fight back against Lazerpig? I realized he was right. Bryan uh Cranston also made a video on it recently as well.

  219.  @dct124  Defiant going to go 300 plus knots? Haha you don't understand the physical limitations mate. No way that's happening. There is a reason helicopters haven't pushed past certain knots even after decades of material and engineering advances. They simply are hampered by physics.

  220. I wonder how long the exploit was known about, and used for sneaky things that they kept hidden. I think there is a tier list, and names for hacks or exploits. In this case this hack would be basically a back door plus able to manipulate anything which is the ultimate exploit, and you can get paid a lot - I mean A LOT of money depending on what program you found a back door for. Eh not so much. A way to get into windows, android, Apple, etc etc? Tons of money. I think it is smart that governments and businesses started actually paying hackers. "Hey if you find a way to break into our system. Or cause issues. Tell us, and we will pay you handsomely."

  224. EVs are awesome now, and becoming better and better quickly. People who hate EVs just because it is an EV have some type of cognitive dissonance, and are stuck with what they were like back when Smart Phones were a thing. The batteries are getting lighter, holding more charge, charging faster, last longer, and cheaper. Honestly the only thing that will be holding them back is charging stations. Yet if you own a home? Investing in some renewable, plus an electric car is just one of the best things you can do. Unless you're one of those people who apparently need to drive hundreds of miles without stopping all the time.

  225. People aren't even sure how effective the GAU 8 is compared to just dropping bombs anyway. Most of the kills in Desert Storm weren't from the gun. Let alone MBT confirmed kills which people argue to this day about. Cost per flight hour and the fact they can be stationed closer to the front line seemed to be the thing it excelled at. Oh and the effect on moral since it can actually be seen by both allied and enemy troops. I've been told by vets they definitely did not want one doing a strafing run near them. They'd much prefer an F 16 dropped JDAMs or an AC-130. Or an attack helicopter.

Man if Ukraine had those sensor fuzed cluster bombs during the start of the war it would have been a blood bath. Those convoys would just have been massacred. I am surprised Russians haven't designed a real weapon using white phosphorous. The ones they are using rain down so slow. Imagine if they made on that rained down as rocks where you didn't have time to take cover. Ugh.

AkA, look screwed on the ground? Well enter hero character McGuffin here blessed by Emperors plot armor, and destroy the Hive Ships! Happens every time. GW really screwed themselves with the Necron if anything. Their ships are ridiculously powerful. They don't really die. Just go further insane if memory serves as I can't recall any that have lost enough energy or whatever to rebuild.

  230. I am pretty sure Tesla is the only company making profit off of EVs. I think overall every other company including BYD is losing money So how can you say just legacy automakers? Go see how much Lucid bleeds per car. The CEO should have his hands broken for the salary he pays himself. Wish I got paid so much for failing hard. I'm all for EVs. Prefer the acceleration and quietness. Yet to sit there and say, "Yup everything is good!" means you are missing the bigger picture. America needs to subsidize some more battery tech. We may fall behind in maufacturing it, but we should be focusing on the next gen battery. Lithium Air!

  231. ​ @azpont7275 Well America sucks at building ships, period. South Korea is a beast at it. We should work with them, but contractors would get pissed. Those ships were just... Ahead of their time I think. If they started developing something similar now? It would have been great. Also politicians flip flopping on say the Zumwalt made the ammo for the gun which was great too expensive to use. Defense industry price gouging. My real worries is that China and Russia get more for the buck, and pay their people less. The CCP are driven and focused, and the government since so few hold power can shift on a dime. Democracies inherently are slow. We are so polarized too. We don't have strong or good leaders. Where is our JFK or even Regan(charisma wise, not policy). We need to stop fighting over petty things like gender identity, or gun laws, or immigrants. In fact we should embrace immigrants and allow the educated, intelligent ones to come here to lend their ideas and expertise. That is one thing America still has - the best WANT to come here. Who the hell wants to immigrate to China or Russia as their first choice? I think the Left and Right citizens agree we need to get money out of politics. I'm afraid our greed, infighting, and short term sightedness without a clear agenda will cost us this cold war. Luckily we have allies to help. People forget the entire west profits off of America's actions. Their companies do anyways.

  232. I was just saying they needed to make a Tankette like the Ripsaw! Instead a two man crew with the best optics and recon abilities. Including radar. Hybrid for stealth running from thermals. And noise. Some auto cannon. With javelins. Or Switch Blade launchers. Simply because I was talking to a vet who said the old Weasle gave them a ton of problems back in the late 80s in war games. This? This is good enough. Run them in small wolf packs to completely catch people with their pants down. Good stuff. I remember watching the Ripsaw on Future Weapons nearly two decades ago. Took them long enough.

  235. I seen a UFO with a friend. We stopped the car and got out because it was just hovering in place and I asked him is that a helicopter. I could just barely see the silhoutte of it against the night sky and it was a triangle shape. Which is odd because it was not making any noise which means it was huge and far up high or low and cpmpletely silent. After two minutes it took off instantly faster than anything I seen like it was 0 and then 100 with no acceleration north in between, and before it hit the horizon where we couldn't see it it turned east towards the oceon. It had some faint line right in the middle that was sort of like the reflection of a red marble. Three dimmer lights on the corners. I don't know what it was. I just saw it with someone. The silence and the fact no human could withstand those G Forces is beyond me. I just wish I saw it with someone else as for months afterwards my friend would call me for any suspicious aircraft at 2am and shit. He went Fox Mulder on me. I also wish we had more than flip phones back then cause my memory is fading.

  236. I wished they made PERSONAL defense cannons. That is the future. Also a single man Ripsaw with the craziest optics, hybrid engine for stealth mode, and a 30mm cannon with a few loiting explosive drones. (Or ATGM). Imagine a tiny tankette like thay, with enough armor for 20mm under. That is driven by one man like a video game with a controller. Including a 3rd person selfie stick driving mode. Sensors like Isreals newest tank. Audio/thermal/whatever. Imagine what kind of mayhem a scout vehicle with a huge offense punch can do behind enemy lines. They'd be able to destroy all, but the heaviest stuff. Yet fast enough to hit and run. We got the unammened version. We need the manned version. Also PD cannons on every vehicle. (Think automated gun trophy system slaved to radar, able to shoot down slower ordance. From drones to ATGMs. Perfect for tanks secondary or helicopters primary. We have the technology. Just need to pair it all).

  237. Toyota was never known for innovation, but taking tech thean making it better than other companies. They were slow to embrace new stuff though. By now you'd think they'd be developing some of the best EVs. Maybe Japan can't handle charging stations or something. I don't know, but I can't believe they want hydrogen. So many legacy makers pop out a few first generation EVs that aren't the best, and over priced. Then cry no one wants them. The dealerships don't want to sell electric on top of that since they make so much off repairs. On top of that zero manufacturers made any type of good supply chain for their EVs. It is costly to repair. There is so much push back on electric. It is insane. The electric motor is superior. They could be making some amazing electric cars right now. People would gobble up a two door coup Toyota with insane horse power, and handling (as in balanced low center of gravity.) Solid state batteries + two axial flux motors in a small car please.

I guess he used the guest house previously, and the Iranian Republican Guard or whatever ran it. Isreal coming back going Tom Clancy on us.

You have to make complex smoothies or get dietary or nutritional supplements for that. Edit: oh and all these companies are freaking liars. All the health, organic, non GMO, 100% juice, superfoods... Sure they don't have the history or power of milk, but they do the same thing and make the same outrageous claims. Science is scrambling to keep up. Your best bet is to just look at the nutritional information and ingredients and make your own judgment. There is no pancea or one ring to rule them all. Eat a varied diet and moderation is key. Yet milk is still great.

  244. Can't wait for the Navies next gen fighter. It is going to be a large interceptor. Huge radar, can carry huge missiles, long range, and super fast. It will be relatively mobile, but something tells me that will be low on the priority list. Basically a stealth Tomcat. You guys see the video on Boeing, and their new engines? Looks amazing, and a lot further along than I thought. Still think the Navy should create an even larger missile with even longer range, and design a new stealth AWACs that can rely targeting data to aircraft. Chinas priority will be our tankers, AWAC, and carriers.

  245. I heard newer batteries are capping out at 90%. Also I've read we really don't have a lot of data on newer chemistries which makes sense. Yet the predictions are pretty good to me. CATL has a battery they say that will last ten years for 600k miles or a million kilometers. With modern power densities. If true that is crazy. Batteries aren't going to be the weak link eventually especially if solid state takes off. I hope. That is if you beleive what all the companies are saying. Lemme tell you I love how fast battery development is during my life. It seemed stagnant then boom the past ten years have been crazy. Even if you don't care about EVs the progress in batteries is a damn good thing which opens up so many things. Just waiting for lithium air chemistries to have a break through damn it. Being able to get the oxygen from the air looks amazing as far as theoretical power density goes. Something like 12,000 watts per KG at max therotical density. Even reaching half that would be game changing. WE could finally have exoskeletons!

  248.  @Kemanh200  yeah but due to gravity we might be able to send construction robots that can construct and supplies first. It will take an armada.

  249. New car companies are hard enough to get profitable. (Forgot the statistic) Let alone an EV company with unproven technology? Yeah, those who invested were asking for it. Basically gambling with a hope, and a prayer. Then again they are likely filthy rich, and the odds outweigh the risk? Even then I feel like shorting it is the better option statistically. I was told always focus on manufacturing when it comes to new car companies unless they are high end. If they don't have answers on how they reduced price or how parts weren't designed to be streamlined then don't bother. Ease of manufacturing is what separates a Tesla from a Lucid. I am an EV person too. In a decade or 15 they will outperform ICE in everything, but long distance non stop travel. Which is very niche.

  250. Most of the time it is about cost I've noticed. Or they are in the process of scaling up. Yet it is good to be skeptical. There are some technologies that he is basically free advertisement for some con artists. Him and Undecided with Matt Farrel or whatever really do fall hard for those deceiving assets. I won't hold my breath. I do hope I'm wrong though about my skepticism. This is NASA afterall.

  252. It is 500 Wh/kg. Not kilowatts. Not sure why you're saying he is wrong with that. I have no idea cell or pack level. It is whatever most manufacturers compare it to when talking about these things. Amprius also has new batteries that reach that level. 504 wh/kg of gravemetric energy density or 1,300 watts per liiter of volume. The claims he is making is straight out of the manufactuers mouths I think by the way as I have heard them before in other videos. GT p Except that range thing he said. If a Model 3 was getting 100 miles for 100wh/kg. Then you put a 500 wh/kg battery with all other metrics being the same into it. You would get a car that does 500 miles in a perfect world. As the Tesla 3 in the example was getting one mile per watt hour. Anyway Sam was right as far as wh/kg which is why these batteries are a big deal. I THINK they are mainly going to be squeezing the aircraft industry for the moment though. I thought there was a 720wh/kg already in China? That is my only question on this video. Does that not hold the record or is it since it was just a lab battery?

  254. Yeah I know many who joined due to video games and movies. Not a SINGLE person due to their shit commercials with the exception of the SEALS. Yet I'd argue people who want to be a SEAL aren't due to the commercial but their portrayal in media. Who joined the army because they saw and heard "an Army of One!" "Be all you can be". Also if they relaxed minor drug use and would show people how much soldiers get paid or not pay for? Maybe more would join.

  255. ​ @calvinnickel9995 No one has the same industrial capacity as WII and with the USAF and Navy - either would China. Unlike the Ukraine the US can hit any industrial plant and port in the world and that is the key tactic to US doctrine. Choke them of power and resources... Chinas power situation is tenuous at the moment and very vulnerable ATM and they are trying to change that.❤❤ Speaking of total war that is why I mean no country will be on the scale of WWII. One machines are much more complex and require much more precision to work therfore the numbers simply won't be there. Two? It took years to over half a decade to get to the numbers of total war production we saw during WWII.
    8
  256. Same. Every country should strive also to have a robust defense industry on top of this. Even if it is difficult to create your own weapons and can get expensive.(Or be expensive and still not amazing. Takes time and effort but the defense industry does create high paying jobs and specialized manufacturing on top of research that can trickle down which is GREAT for any country. In an ideal world we would focus on not killing each other but nothing lights a fire under one's ass like the threat of invasion). Edit: Just added that last bit. Anyway globalization is great but also leaves ya vulnerable as geopolitics change. Better to be self reliant and have allies to share the burden of defense with. Glad Australia is building their own nuclewr subs in conjunction with the US and UK instead of outright buying stuff from Japan and France for example. Isreal, Sweden and SK are also great examples.

  257. When I realized that the blades literally hold the entire aircraft, and payload? That blew my little peasant mind. Then I learned about the Jesus Nut. It is like all that weight just basically dangling off a relatively small piece of metal is just unfathomable. Then add in the stress of lift, flying, engine vibrations, speed of the rotor, etc etc. I don't know why I never made the connection till I was older. Forgot what I was looking at when I was thought wait a minute... The hell?

  259. Yeah the curse of resource rich countries is always mind boggling to me. You have to diversify, and exporting is good. Add in the severe corruption of many South American countries, and bam. Yet know it is easier to blame orhers like America or a European countries for a scapegoat while the elites in those countries line their pockets. Maybe one day countries like Brazil will actually rise up. It is crazy how many times they've changed their currency due to the previous failure in the last 30 years alone!

  261. Yeah, he didn't really hit on a lot. Like comparing land prices which I assume can be ridiculous due to the sheer lack of land plus density. Then again Japan isn't exactly having a population explosion either is it! So I feel like demographics has a play on this as well. Seems like construction prices are reasonable too which is crazy as Japanese joints or carpentry really are world renowned. I mean I even know of some! Personally if I built a home. It would be made of a concrete shell with wood inside. It needs to be a fortress against imaginary zombie attacks, and people aa well as earth quakes. Also not susceptible to tsnuamis.

  262. The other issue is democracy is slow. Bloated. Has a lot of inefficiencies compared to others. Democracy needs a lot of good leaders in order to succeed. A lot of failed democracies are just as terrible as some authoritarian countries as far as corruption goes. The older I get the more I see that western democracy needs groups of people to actually want to work together which might not be possible. Trying to get five groups with century old tribal fueds with modern conflict just isn't going to work I think. Democracy doesn't mean free or liberal either. If a group wants to democratically vote to slaughter the other then well... Not exactly ideal is it? I think Singapore is a good example of where an Authotorian government can make a country better. I forgot his name, but he set the foundation for a great country. El Salvador seems to be doing better, and also sliding into authoritarian. I'm a pro democratic person at heart. I just don't think it might be the best solution for every country at every moment in their development. Having a working democracy isn't easy is all I'm saying. People want stability, security,, and to be able to gain wealth. They don't care who gets it done. As long as their voices are heard.

  263. Yeah she didn't explain really how it worked. Only that it does! How does it function? You entagle a mess of quibits, and then read them. Great. How do you ask a question to it? How do you know what is the answer or the answer is even correct? How do you control any of it? I mean I am glad she is excited yet I didnt hear much.

  264. I agree with ya except on one thing. Gaming on a phone is garbage! No thanks. Give me a TV or a gaming PC with a mouse and keyboard or other specialized controllers like a joystick for a flight sim. Foldable phones for the win is the next logical form factor. Wouldn't it be awesome if your phone was a scroll that you could unroll to whatever size you needed at the time? Or just about phone sized now, and thicker, but could fold out like old school maps? Again if you wanted the size of a phone it works. If you want double you unfold it once and it becomes half the size of a tablet. Then unfold a third time and it becomes larger then a tabet? This is the only logical form factor till we get a small little lens that showcases the world or whatever we are watching. Basically a HUD or augmented reality. Then combine it with something like a way to type on our forearms. Navigate or click with our eyes.

  265. As someone with liver and kidney problems? Milk is just amazing and there is literally nearly nothing oz for oz as cheap and jam packed with both macro and micronutrients. You have to go into dietary or nutritional drinks to get that and while I love Nova Source? It has too many vitamins and minerals and I have to be careful not to get too much of any as my body cannot clear them. Phosphorous being the biggest one I struggle with. I need to gain weight. A glass of full milk has lipids, carbs, and complete protein. I've tried the other replacements and they just don't compare. Especially when I buy Lacktaid Protein or Fairlife. Sure it is saturated fat but ATM I need any fat in order to gain weight for a transplant. Chocolate Milk is also the nectar of the gods! Anyway like all super foods and such it isn't a pancea. Moderation is also key. PS: One reason why Milk is important for me is because of the low fluid restrictions. I can only have 24oz of liquid per day and that includes water in food. So it doesn't make sense for me to drink something like clean ice water or even juice... If I put something in my body? Ideally it should have both macro and micronutrients. To me this is the hardest thing about dying is the fact I don't produce urine. No coffee, tea, juice, soup... I am forever thirsty and if I ever get a transplant the first thing I'm doing is chugging a huge glass of ice cold chocolate milk. Making a slushi and drinking it till I puke or can't handle the brain freeze.

  266. Company comes in. Uses water resources that is accessible to the city. Pays jobs, and pays taxes. Yet instead of using that tax money to build treatment centers, reservoirs, and aqueducts. Water infrastructure. They don't. Then they complain. Even though they can't be half assed to even have a sewer system. I'm sorry this is one case where "you are your own worse enemy." Also great. Activist blaming a company for people consuming something on their own violation. The world has really figured out ways to shirk self responsibility, hasn't it? Coke and Mexican food really do go well. Only time I can drink it.

  267. For me it is the EVU machines that FABs use. ASLM doesn't get enough credit. The people who create the tools to make the tools don't either. The mirrors alone are just mind bending. Wish there was a video on how a chip is made. Ground up. From uhh the architecture? To the software to hardware. A video that I easily digestible for a layman like myself. Same with tool makers and military weapon makers.

  268. I'm more interested in how the Valor is going to shake things up. You have an amazing aircraft that can out run and out range basically all your legacy aircraft. So does that mean there are going to be missions without others? I haven't even seen a concept of what an attack version will look like. I am told will happen eventually unless they decide to make an entirely new aircraft. Hope it goes the Cobra route though! Gut the interior and load it with turrets. Basically a slimmer version with the standard attack helicopter set up.

  269. Okay I didn't mind that. I knew what he meant. What I did mind was him saying the only man made object to go supersonic before the X1 was... A . 50 caliber bullet, lol.

  270. I get the fued sometimes. Palestinians though... I don't see Isreal dragging peoples corpses through the streets as some type of trophy. Killing civilians on purpose. It is one thing killing an enemy. It is an other thing to attack someone, drag their body, and then play the victim. I don't side with Isreal. I know about their shady tactics in the Gaza displacing people and all that. However I also don't feel bad when Isrealian soldiers treat them all like barbaric terrorists either. They aren't poor victims. I also don't understand the attack on a strategic level. It is like stabbing a bear with a pocket knife. HAMAS You jusy Dun fucked up. As uhh someone once said. Probably while on Crack.

  271. Yeah that is sketchy unless they guys are some well renowned computer engineers. Then again some of the best technologies come from small teams, because it is easier to fund them. Q.Ant is making photonic computers. Supposed to be way more efficient, smaller, and will be able to compete with Nvidia in the next 5 years. The CEO said two. The thing is they are actually producing photonic chips now or this year that you can buy, and plug into a server rack. They are their own foundry too.. Then you have photonic quantum computers being made in labs. I remember them not being programmable years ago, but that is changing too. Edit. Oh Anastasia in Tech made a video about Vaire. She believes in it, and is a computer engineer. No idea how compenent. Others seem to like her. Didn't realize how small the team was.

  272. Exactly. I've been in that store... Twice! I went with my boss and one ex. The first time I went it made me feel extremely poor, lol. A store of furnishings, and knick nacks for homes. Everything seemed over priced to me like a tourist trap. I felt out of place to say the least. Although I could see the allure if you are some house wife with a thousand to spend to make a home a home. Yet how much of that audience is left in America? I think we are more savvy when it comes to price simply due to being able to compare. BBBY just wasn't competitive. It is a place you pop into when you win the lottery, and buy a few random things you didn't need. Those were my exact thoughts. I definitely felt like I was in a primarily woman's shop. By the way. Reading between the lines? No these guys read between the emojis.

  273. ​ @mikelay5360 Fukishima to be fair was such a poorly designed plant, and put in such a stupid location. The back up generation issue being a glaring flaw. Then they didn't expect a big Tsnumani to hit... What?! People knew it was vulnerable, but didn't want to shut it down to make upgrades. We can design modern Nuclear reactors that can auto shut down, and seal themselves in a cartoon. I say build them to survive a magnitude 10, and build them to survive underwater even if it isn't near the ocean. Also against bombs and tornados. We can build like that. Just costs money, but that is a problem since nuclear reactors already cost the most. Batteries and renewabeles are becoming SO cheap that it is a legit question as to why go nuclear now. (One reason is they require less space, and aren't vulnerable to things like hail).

She needs to keep support. Gotta have priorities. Can't help anyone if you can't actually get into power. The plight of many outweighs the few. I remember someone saying to me. "What has modern Islam done for the world!?" While in a heated argument I was having. I had no rebuttal outside. "Not true! What about you're wrong?" All we were arguing about is whos turn it was to take out the trash at work.

  276. Yeah you have to lay down the law. Personally I don't give a rats ass about where it came from. I hate the fact people try to guilt others to buy a food product from where it originated for some moral reason. I'll buy Mezcal or Tequila made by half Japanese Innuit with a quarter of New Zealander and is Jewish where it they built a place in South Africa to grow Agave. As long as it is good I'll buy that thanks... If I must pay it will be an American brand and that's to support the buisness location near me - but I won't drink it if that taste like arse either for patriotic reasons. I just want a solid product and nation or creed be damned.

  277. Dude the moon is a hell hole. Not much on there cept titanium and helium 3. Same problems as Mars but magnified. Like no gravity, and the notorious dust. I'm not even sure why we would even need to use it as a stop gas we can build space stations at legrange 2. Until we actually need helium 3. I mean especially if we can make relatively cheap premade inflatable modules. Someone correct me on why a moon is better than a space station. What is going to happen is first mining will become cheap enough. Then settlements. Only when resources are scarce will we feel the need to go out. That is how humans have always been. Personally I think Venus is the best bet for a permanent colony. Pressure is safe at 53 km. Air is denser so it would be easier to float. Has resources, abundant energy, and more importantly an atmosphere and 90% plus the gravity. We have no idea how humans will be with lower gravity. So the last part is important.

  279. We actually do. Did you know in America since 2007 with the exception of two years(three?) power demand has gone down. With all the new gadgets, tech, and things like EVs you'd think demand would go up. Yet it hasn't. It has declined most years. Simply because everything is becoming more efficent, and smarter. It doesn't seem like it, but it is true. We are improving on that forefront. An other fun fact is we waste around 2/3rds of our energy produced simply due to thermal waste, and other inefficencies. Coal and gas plants are in particular inefficient. People are trying to improve the grid too everywhere. Anyway just pointing out it doesn't seem like it, but we have been getting extremely good. I have no idea how much more efficient things can get honestly as there will be a limit.

  280. Well I've seen a ton of money going into projects but so many are poorly managed or have so many issues that... Signing it alone ssn't enough for me to get my hopes up. I hope I am wrong but watch the money just been squandered like usual. The one good thing about governments like China? The CCP doesn't care about your house. So your house has been in your family for generations and grandma use to bake cookies for ya during the summer and your first kiss was just at McQuaids Diner with Amber... It needs to get torn down for some infrastructure for the good of the people and Uncle Sam will pay 10% above market price and not a penny more! That is how politicians should be about it.

  282. The system isn't one time only? Just the rocket... You can quickly reload it. Of course they don't want insurgents getting their hands on even better weapons. That means nothing. If cost doesn't matter the Javelin is the best. The fact the command unit is so good that soldiers use it just for regular recon. Ukraine using it with ambushes clearly proves how effective it is. Maybe if it had a better warhead... That tank that was hit was from the top side of the turret. It isn't that impressive. The RPG 30 looks interesting though. I love how he acts like using the Javelin is super complicated when it isn't. Someone told me it took like 20 minutes to understand. Also that it takes a few minutes to warm up- like a freaken tank is suddenly going to sneak up on you. I do believe newer Command Units are rechargeable. Someone told me that anyway. If I were tasked to hunt tanks? I would prefer the Javelin or other systems like it. Keep hidden, fire and run to a new position. Reload. Fire again at a new target. Rinse and repeat. Anyway cost is what limits the Javelin. Using it on bunkers or softer targets just seems like a waste.

  285.  @brad3950  Yeah and I seen the change just in my life time. I feel like it is mentally unhealthy. Look at let's say the movie Tropic Thunder. A movie would be considered risky - like it couldn't be made today without someone throwing a fuss. If you walked out of that movie thinking it is racist you're quite uhh limited. People just need to be on that holy than thou I'm better than this mindset. Whatever happened to sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. If a joke is that bad it really is bothering me there are deeper issues that I need to work on. My insecurities are also not your problem. Also people getting offended for others is crazy to me too.
    7
  286. Well this is why we have the Pacific fleet already stationed there in Hawaii I think the Atlantic fleet would either go through the Suez or use the Artic routes in an event or war. I think the Navy should start investing in super ice breakers to clear the Northern passage for the event of war. That would be crazy though if we had multiple ships stuck in the canal. Sounds like a movie plot haha.

  287. Tilt rotor has speed which means more survivability as well. The thing is nearly just as fast and can already fly it's self. Large front print and armament location are definitely the only downsides to it.

  288. Am I missing the breakthrough or something? Feel like we watched two different videos outside the fact China is further then what people thought. It doesn't surprise me as China has to people and money. Yet one thing I gotta give the CCP for all my disdain of them is the fact they can focus and pivot entire populations like no other government. There is a toll for underestimating your rivals. Like he said the sanctions did not go far enough.

A lot of false advertisement so you absolutely have to be careful I hear to stay away from different brands due to the fact they themselves have been sold by their sources regular honey as something else. Some shady bee keepers are a thing!

  291. Yeah Americans just don't want to deal with the environmental effects of refining rare earths. Not worth it ATM so if we can put the burden on an other country and pay them well enough? We will. This will just hurt for a bit at most. We will either use an other metal or it will be lucrative enough we give in. Also more importantly America is taking the threat of China seriously and will put in the money for security if they feel it is necessary. I also hope we start securing things in the artic along with our Canadian and European allies.
    7
  292. While I wanted it to win you're correct. Footprint and gun placement is definitely the only downsides but the range and speed alone make up for it. Helicopters are reaching physical limits in both areas. So tilt rotor are the future so better get use to them.

  293.  @evsthejedi  Yeah I should not judge those people. I think I'd be more like you, but who knows with the crowd mentality of seeing everyone booking it! We were stuck on a tower thinking we were going to be electicifed by a train. We had no where TO run really. In those first seconds though hell yeah. We had that primal fear you experienced too. We ran to the ladder. Said no time. Ran to look for a safe jumping position. We might have lived, but we both came to the conclusion living like a cripple was no option. Only then did we just accepted our fate. Looked at each other like, "Love ya brother. This is." So maybe I would have ran outside. Yet after getting outside it would have been like now what? No time to get anywhere. Think I would've just watched people after that or the sun. When I was on the tower I looked up at the sky with my arms out in the wind like "Take me". I loved that feeling though. Most of my other near death of experiences were split second affairs with no time to think. It is truly amazing how many thoughts and emotions can run through your body in such a brief tune. My life didn't flash before me, but I sure as hell thought of a lot, and thought of basically everyone I loved. Thought how much of my life I wasted. You hear about Jim Carey's story? He was there when the warning happened. You should read up. Seems like a lot of people just accepted their fates.
    7
  294. Yeah this makes no effin sense. Our military spends a lot, and don't have control over something like this. Gotta be some buisness connected to the repair process. Trying to repair a ship that isn't worth it. Forcing them to do it. How about this. How about we outsource that money, and get some of those awesome destroyers they have? (Or cruisers?) SK is knocking ships out for cheaper. They have the best ship builders in the world. Use them, for now, while investing in our ship building capacity, and putting competent knowledgeable people to somehow fix America's ship building. I'd rather them invest in shipyards/supply chain to be as good as South Korea, than keep putting money into failed ships. Cost sunk fallacy is the woe of so many programs.
    7
  295. I would argue inflation from covid and war is a big factor. Yet the media being so negative the entire term also is an issue. Media is controlled by rich people who want tax cuts. Guys always trying to push for that regardless if your left, because money doesnt see party lines.
    7
  296. Since the dawn of time I am sure weapon makers were valued. Bow makers especially. Then you had guilds. I mean you had literal specialists that made swords, armorers, and especially those who could craft siege weapons were especially valued. Why does a country like America make weapons? Well if we don't our enemies will. If we rely on our enemies to make weapons then it leaves us at a disadvantage doesn't it? If we don't fund the companies them, and their massive supply chains will dissappear taking years upon years to get back. The engineers will go to an other place to work. Other countries. Enemies. So it is as simple as having that foundation for security, because unlike Johnny's naive view point is. Humans will always have conflict regardless. War will happen even with abundance. People are jealous, envious, and most of all can be full of hatred. Those who can't defend themselves will fall to those type of people, because they CAN. They will find any justification to take what is yours, assimilate you, or even wipe you out. So it is better to have the best weapons you can have so no one else thinks twice they can just conquer you... There is no culture alive today that has not partaken in war at one point in their history. Conflict is a part of humanity.

  297. Agreed we can't fall behind. This is why I will give two words. Project Pluto! Let us make it happen. Make it bigger, and better. It will be the size of a city block.

Use multiple Starships to launch gigaton sized warheads. Call it Project UMadBro?

  300. I think the issue is that some places did not budget correctly, and have no money to replace the older parts. Since they keep shifting to other things, and doing the bare minimum. Or the area is simply poorer. The problem is private companies have their agenda to make more profits for their shareholders instead of actually making America secured. Look at the Texas grid, and all the woes. They didn't want to be regulated so they went on their own with their private company doing bare minimum. They didn't build for the cold, nor prepare for the extreme heat! In Texas! Texas should be an energy power house, with wind, solar, and oil. Wild. I'm so sick of us subsidizing these companies just for them to pocket those as profits. I bet it would be more stable, and better if it was ran by the government. The power companies are like banks now. Too big to fail, and they know it.

  301. ​ @RedTail1-1 What is funny on your statement is I feel like Ukraine was due to Putin trying to make a legacy. Then it back fired. If Ukraine didn't fight him off. Maybe they would have been on the chopping block next. Putin feels like he is owed certain regions. Kazakhstan probably being one. Anyway hope they aren't sending tanks. They need them.

  302. Yeah I don't feel bad. Especially for black colleges. Or private Christian colleges. The former made sense when black kids couldn't get into college. The later is just outdated too. I don't feel bad for colleges that discriminate. I think college is more a social thing these days anyway for kids to be on their own. Universities made sense, when you had to go seek knowledge. You couldn't just Google answers. You had to either know someone, or find a book. The respritories of human knowledge were collected at universities. Now we have almost all the knowledge we could dream of at our fingertips in seconds. For most jobs anyway. Hell you can even talk with people online who know more for free if you know the right places. So college is out dated in many aspects. I'm not going to say it doesn't have benefits to those who go or societies. Universities have done a lot of good, and a lot of research. I'm saying it isn't exactly necessary as it once was now that the internet, being able to record is here.

  303. Feel like going for a larger round with some proximity fuses that throw tungsten led in a uniformed pattern like the AHEAD ammo should be a thing. 30-40mm. More range for the bigger drones. That way it isn't TOO overkill for smaller drones but can also take out significantly bigger threats.

  304. That is highly dependent on what you are micro dosing now isn't it? You could micro dose meth if you wanted to. Do not know why you would. Just that micro dosing is exactly what it means. Not all pysvhoactives are good either.

  305. ​ @Defective1313  Pretty sure we would know somehow by now. I bet that's the first thing the US did - try to figure out what happened to it. Ridiculous that they hit them. Why risk it.
    7
  306.  @Defective1313  You really think they wouldn't mention it? That is just an odd thing to do quite honestly since they talked about the incident. Feel like Americans would love it. Yeah they took down a drone but at a cost of a very expensive fighter. Then again you're probably right what the fuck do I know. I am more curious on what happened to the pilot. Can't be good for him, but Alex does state pilots are in very short supply. Can't believe they are using their instructors TBH - that didn't work well for Japan. You definitely want a lot of good people training the next generations.

  313. Personally cults to me are obsessive, possessive, dominating, manipulative, desirous and fanatical. All religions can have sects or cliques that drift into cults. Faith and dedication are not the same as cult like behavior. Yet it isn't just limited to religion. Any organization including politics can become cultists. I also think cults demand dedication.

  314. I think it is stupid we put in RnD, plus salary of soldiers. Those soldiers are enlisted anyway, and getting paid to do it regardless of whether the plane is flying or not. Is this not true? We don't do that with rifles do we? Like oh yeah we spent a million on testing this new Rifle. So add in 200$ right there per rifle. Oh add the salaries of the quarter masters, their tools, the trucks for the bullets, and all those in logistics. Don't forget the cargo ships, and the fees for the canals! Should be at least like 3 separate budget groups when the media states things. Like if there is a base already set up, and is permament. Do not include the costs of new equipment if it is there. I guess it is easier for the pencil pushers though overall so I get that. Alex do a story on black budget itemization. For instance is it true those overpriced screws and hammers are just a way for the military or AF to set aside money for projects or are vendors really price gouging the taxpayer. Probably a bit of both, eh?

  315. Yeah I thought even a buckled ship would take time. Yet nope. Especially when you realize water sealed doors would be in place during a war footing. No way they can escape. Even the surface of the ship gets rocked, and it flipped the camera. Your best bet would be to on the edge of the ship, on the deck, and get launched into the ocean. What a terrible way to die. Now imagine an amphibious assault on Taiwan with our fleet of stealth aircraft carrying these things. It would be a death sentence, although I am not sure how many bombs we could drop in one hit. Those ships would be packed to the brim with troops. It makes you realize how vulnerable our carriers are too.

  317. I've never lost money to the casino. Think I've won forty bucks. Use to go with my friend for the free drinks. He'd gamble, and I would only play just enough to get served. So I would sit back, and just observe a lot of times. These were resort casinos we'd go to so they had a lot of things for people to do. The air was always vibrant, yet there were a lot of times you could see the people who were just losing massive amounts of money. I always wanted to be like, cut your losses now man, dealer is kicking your arse. Yet every single time they'd just double down till they had basically nothing. Was depressing. Anyway my advice for those who must go? Well go in with a set amount to lose, and treat it like entertainment. If you go in with 200$, set a goal for like 400$ or whatever. Win or lose, just walk once you hit either. That guy on the slots. Holy hell. Never seen or heard anything like that. Slots are THE worse.

  318. Next the Army releases the Swarm program along with the USMC Zerg program. Then the fucking South Koreans bring us to shame with their Protoss program. Nah here is an idea for the army. We have tiny swarm drones - which I know various places have been working on for search and rescue. Using that to create an AI swarm that can be launched from a forward operating base to fly to a sector, and seek and destroy. Think of a 100 swarm of bats coming at your machine gun nest. Either firing munitions or going kamikaze. They will seek and destroy, and once targets are not found return to their launch pads to wirelessly recharge. They will of course have humans in the mix telling them what sectors to go after. Mixed in with other systems for larger targets that would be horrifying. They could be controlled by more expensive drones as well making the kamikaze drones cheap. Have that forward operating base have a mobile 3d printer to fix them as well.

  319. It is all relative. Yet if you don't think the government plays favorite. Look no further than the Defense Industry my man. When was the last time you've heard of a small company actually getting a contract? Sometimes I get it. You don't want manufacturers to fail. It is worth the investment to keep them, and their chains alive.. Other countries aren't playing fair themselves, and companies need all the help they can get in such a competitive environment. Reagan was not a pure libertarian ya know? Still a politician, haha.

  321.  @X.Y.Z.07  There was an old tank being used and people laughed at it. I think it was a late WWII or early 50s. Then they laughed at some WWII AA gun. Like if those weapons killed for our grandfather's they are good enough to kill now. The tank protected against small arms fire and shrapnel and it will do so now. Sure an RPG can take it out, but I'd still rather be in that then nothing.

  325. I gaurentee you someone has already put forth said plan when they were designing the Rapid Dragon at least. Probably before that. Was just watching a video on a cruise missile boat 747 from the 70s! That would have been an arsenal boat ahead of its time. Lockheed also already full sent an ICBM from a C-5. I'm sure they got drafts for every weapon imaginable already on it. Just too expensive. But Rapid Dragon looks too good so I bet they are developing launch systems so even a C 5 can do it. As long as they are the ones making the 70 plus missiles or whatever. (The 747 had 72 missiles).

  326. I would like to use this moment to say Afghanistan only is still a country due to the mercy of the nations that invaded it. The cowardly fighters like the Taliban think they are brave, but they fought from the shadows knowing their enemy shows mercy. Imagine if we let our soldiers and generals go to war without rules or politics holding them down. The country would have been secure. Albiet there would have been few fighting age men left, because any suspected terrorist would have been killed or had their fighting arm maimed as to never be able to hold an AR correctly again. They ambush a convoy. You blow up a village. Personally I think war is ugly, and you have to be brutal yourselves to win. Throwing your soldiers into combat zones, and telling them you can only react to things, instead of taking the initiative is just folly. It is asking to lose.

It's like the F-35 losing dog fights. Once a fire is lit the embers last forever, and the media has no obligation of being objective. I mean the US army is pretty fucking conservative. If it was a death trap they wouldn't have picked it, and computing power and avionics make flying substantially easier. I'm glad it won. We will see how it plays out.

  329. Democracy is slow, cumbersome, and many times annoying. However it is still better than the other major options combined with capitalism to motivate people to work together. All governments fall pray to corruption. Souths Korea government worked, and worked quite quickly. So it is weird to me people are complaining about it in the first place. I guess because it came so far out of left field from what I am gathering.

  330. My grandpa who was a Marine detested the Turks in Korea and after the war to the 90s. He said they were brutal and violated the bodies of the enemy. I'm not judging or saying anything about the people, but he nearly looked like he was about to break down from PTSD when talking. So I stopped asking questions about Korea. I never saw him like that as he was a stoic stern man. I wish I did now, but I was 15. He said they came back with heads after a night raid, and were just brutal. What's ironic is he was with a Turkish woman for a while later after my grandma and him divorced. So he wasn't racist exactly, but he didn't trust the military. (Just to be clear I'm only repeating a story of an old man). He ended up getting trapped in a bunker for two days. War sucks.

  333. Not to mention location. Can't imagine a ton of mines next to places where people love to live. Maybe mining companies should I don't know. Train their people up. Pay more, give incentives. I would take a job if they trained me. I'd love to do that actually. Seems like a cool job. Yet I'm terminally ill, and trying to get a double transplant. So the location would be important, because I will eventually need to see a doctor multiple times a week at first. Then I believe once a week for the rest of my life. So yeah I will never be able to do it. Also going to school? Why. Teach people it who are willing to learn. That alone would give you workers, because who wants to pay student loans for a mining degree when they can go to school for something better.

  337. ​ @pawelgaul6603 m113 is outdated. I won't call it useless. It still can do shit and make it easier but it is outclassed by everything. Stryker is a recon vehicle that carries troops. Wonder if all the 105mm variants were already scraped. I'm sure the Ukrainians would have used it for something. The US needs to make up its mind for the next IFV. I cannot keep up with the abbreviations. Stop wasting money. Make it automated turret, and enough armor to protect the crew from 40mm or something and bam. Give it a 30 to 40mm to take out similarly armed vehicles and good optics for all so the infantry isn't blind when rushing. The army tends to make shit so complicated. Starting with a good hull and work their way up. We will see with this new program.

  339. They try to build them as cheap as possible to last for their extended warranty or regular warranty only. It isn't even the engineers. It is everyone else from manufacturing to bean counters to CEOs. Even marketing has a say in many things. When I talked to a car engineer he said basically in a nutshell. "The accountants or bean counters will calculate what each part costs. How expensive it is for us to replace. The longevity, and supply chain. They calculate everything. If one part comes out cheaper then the other long term. They will pick the cheaper part almost always. Since the math pays off on average. Each dollar saved adds up over the course of production. Car only needs to last till past the warranty" Remember not all customers take advantage of their warranties or even know what is covered. Yet then add in people that think they know better into the mix. And you get retarded vehicles. Or add in short term gains. Either way it is complicated with a lot of people in the mix. Some who lie for their own gain as well. (Example a person or company who makes a part will try to sell that part, and lie about its traits.) You get the jist. Admittedly it is just one sample size. I don't exactly run into many people who take a part in manufacturing and design of new mass produced vehicles. I don't think it is as malicious as people claim. I would blame greed and stupidity first always.

  340.  @Widestone001  Yeah they had some crazy ass armor in WWII. I have seen guns against well made historical plate curasses and they actually deflected the bullets. I forgot what time period and style but it did stop them. It reminded me a Spanish Conqusitor armor. Armor was very effective. Kind of wish defense always had the upper hand and shit would be like Dune or WK40k. Yet I doubt there is any material known to man that can withstand chemical weapons - it just requires more Ommph on their part. Even graphine would require a ton to protect from a 120-130m sabot.

  343. Boohoo. Blame the thieves. Is it inconvenient? Just a bit but it isn't that big of a deal. Trust me when I say workers would rather not deal with it either. It is a pain having to lock certain items when stocking, getting the right container, finding a way to fit it on the shelf. Damb things break or don't close. Then when people get it you might have to stop what you're doing and go get the manager or key depending on item. It is just a headache for everyone but people don't care. The margins for many stores is super low and it really does add up. You'd be surprised what people steal too and the reasons they give to justify it.

(Bullet proof if people are shooting subsonic fat pistol rounds it seems. Not every a full powered round which most people would be firing.) Oh and five seater instead of six. The panel gaps have not been resolved so no sub millimeter precision or was it micrometers? Oh, and it is over two years late. The list goes on and on especially with his other businesses. There is actually a list if you Google, "elons broken promises" I'm sure. So many haters out there that nitpick everything. Some things I can understand, because crap happens. Others are just flat out lies that he knows has a tiny chance of actually happening.

IDK how the future will play out but drones will be the future for sure. Sea, air, and land. Space! So SEALS!

Best thing to do is to read about each thing instead of blanketing one thing as good or an other bad. Man made stuff can be better.

  361. Love it. Iconic. Has some uses. Has one hell of an effect on moral. Let's face it. It is obsolete, and a death sentence to the pilots in modern combat. Take the lightest 155mm turret you can find. Put wings and the most efficient engine you can get. Get a damn good ballistic computer. Then make it into a drone and viola. It will be a cool ass aircraft! Effective compared to other methods? Nope. Just putting an engine on 155mm with wings would be better. AKA a kamikaze drone. We just need CAS drones. Cheaper the better.

  364. I believe the F 16 shines in keeping energy in certain maneuvers. Not that it matters. The chances of either going into gun range is so minimal that honestly I wouldn't be mad if all fighters lost guns entirely. I think the biggest asset will be to protect ground forces when pushing the line. Then most importantly being able to use those HARM missiles. Russia has hundreds of missiles and launchers. Ukraine should be going after a radar, command, and EW with them. Yet I think more than likely they will just be defending Ukrainian airspace. Still though there isn't enough to truly sway the war. From the latest news Russia is basically on a war footing economically now, and will have at least 30 new aircraft per year. So the what? 60, F 16s where some are outdated isn't going to do much. I hope we continue to support Ukraine and send MORE.

  367. Great video. Do a follow up on the Viper AH-Z1. Some say it is a lighter, faster, Apache. If not even more deadly than the Apache now. It does lack the location of the radar being on top, and a 30mm cannon, and wheels. Yet some say it is deadlier, and more survivable these days. Oh and it cannot interact with drones as of yet. Not to the extent the Apache can. It is basically a brand new aircraft.

I'm glad the US government is working on catching up. I also wonder what other links in the process a state of the art computer parts take in the manifactering. I also wonder what other electronic/instruments the military relies on that simply cannot be created without a solid base. like creating radar and electronic warfare. This is why I foresee cheap, easy to manufacter, drones being the future.

  374. Hit and run tactics are as old as time. From the Huns, Cherokee, to Mongols. Lighting suprise attacks work wonders. As long as you can destroy the enemy. Any vehicle that is fast can do it. Technicals just happen to be trucks due to versatility, all terrain,, and cheap cost. If we had hover boards were as prevelant as trucks the Taliban would absolutely be skeeting up on people with RPGs, and blasting them before skirting off doing kick flips. Future of technicals IMO is basically one primary gun. Yet a bunch of Switchblade type weapons in the back.

  375. For 10 kw per gram? (It looked like they listed under 4 liters in a graph. So volumetric is great unlike Hydrogen) That is on par with the best therotical batteries max potential! Lithium Air is said to be able to hold 12,300 watts per KG. So yeah. That is outstanding! I've already said TPV cells are the future. Or a part of it. For some applications. MIT just made some that capture heat at 2,000 celius, get better with more heat, and have more than 45% effiency. Basically the same as our best turbines! I say the future as in... The future is TPV cells plus nuclear or in ten years fusion! Sadly... I am super skeptical. Feel like the DoD would be on top of this. Just use sapphire... Oh yeah that is a great choice. So plentiful. Pretty cool if true, and I bet a ton of applications could benefit from this. TPV cells need more research. We waste so much heat, and potential energy. Having a part that captures that into electricity with no moving parts is a game changer for at least industrial purposes.

Redesign, and focus back on japanese tuners, but with BEV. Dude if Nissan gave us a fast, cheap, EVs that can be customized. One just focused on driving performance over high tech gimmicks.

More like when they were up to no good to be honest. Literal combat boots.) White Timberlands... I remember wanting a pair. I don't even think they made them back then in 2004. Think custom only at the time. Could be wrong, I am no historian. I just visualized them.

  383. I don't think they have a monopoly. Samsung literally makes better phones, but people buy Apple due to fashion purposes. What the DoJ can do is go after their crap business practices, and what they do to screw over consumers. Like making their phones nearly impossible to repair for cheap. The whole not allowing texts being as secure from other phone issue was completely crap too. Other giants like Microsoft and a Google have tried to make a phone, and dropped the ball. Other companies simply cannot compete. I don't know why anyone would buy any overpriced Apple product over an Android. Yet they simply prefer it. Apple screwing over other apps should be changed. That is it.

  385. Iran is the most sad of all the countries in the Middle Eaat. When I talk to them(citizens) online. They seem the most down to earth. The most secular. A lot more modern than all the other Middle Eastern countries. They were scientist and engineers too. Their government seems to be such a hindering body. What would have happened if they didn't resort to fanatics. Side note. I find it funny people would revoke critical thinking, because it is deemed "Western." Being backwards on purpose is just dumb. There was a time when Islam was bringing science to the outside world, and not the other way around. Sure the Mongols destroyed that Age. Doesn't mean you cannot go back to it. Obviously the old traditions aren't working. Maybe Allah will send a new prophet to keep up with the rapid changes eh.

  387. Hannibal man. One of the greatest military commanders. I'm not sure how true it is but some say mercenary armies while well equipped and trained tend to lose cohesion when working with other mercenaries and obviously aren't as loyal. So Hannibal is good with that at keeping his army intact while doing something so ludicrous. However his general said "Hannibal you know how to win a battle but you do not know how to end a war." Same with Spartacus in a way. Amazing what he did with what he had. Dude should have never turned south. I don't even know why he did it TBH.

  388. Where Tesla shines, and where many car companies fail is not with their design. I mean the Lucid is arguably hands down the superior car. Teslas strength lies in pairing manufacturing and design together. Teslas overall profit is ridiculous per car. Probably more than any car maker. While Lucid is barely holding on. There is a guy named Sandy on a channel called Munro Live. He has a great break down on Tesla that we don't normally think about. Anyway the way they juggle aerodynamics, manufacturing ease, and looks is good. Personally I feel like Teslas are generic as hell now, but not last decade. The new Kia EV6 Gt is a great looking car. A freaken Kia! (Crap range, but it is a 60k super car that is fun as hell to drive.)

  389.  @jeckjeck3119  Think they are training 31 pilots. Do think that is enough F 16s to win a war against Russia? Those F 16s will most likely be defense only. Stopping missiles and any Russian aircraft that comes near the front line. (Hoping they will get meteors.) Russia might not have air superiority but it definitely has enough anti air missiles and fighters to destroy those Ukrainian F 16s... I'm not even sure how Ukraine will defend them on the ground from large missile strikes. Anyway too little too late. I stand by my statement.

  392. Asia, specifically the South East of Asia has the farm lands to do so. More importantly you can grow crops all year long! Well I guess the second harvest is less productive but still. The Himalayans play a large portion of it. So climate and the fact they are blessed with rivers acummulnates plus the fact they were largely poor till the last few decades means a much bigger population. Their population however will be a problem soon because the older generation will get older, and the newer generation isn't having as many kids. This usually happens to all countries. One country that is outstanding is freaking Japan. How the hell it supports so many with it's lack of resources and usuable farmland is amazing. Same with other countries like Indonesia! I'm surprised the South Asian sea has any fish in it to be quite honest. Somehow Europe wiped out Atlantic cod and America nearly wiped out Buffalo in a few short centuries. PS: Also while rice isn't the most calories per acre crop it is up there and relatively easy to produce and fits perfectly for the weather. Fun fact about some eras of Japan - peasants were frowned upon eating rice as that is how taxes were paid. So they were encouraged to eat "lesser grains"!

  394. It is literally this probe, and similar things like that made me think we had super heat resistant materials. Till recently. I am near 40! I thought we for sure had a material that can withstand 10k Celsius. No! Halfnium Carbide cannot withstand anything more than 4.3k. Celsius. That is all we have! That is pathetic! Outside of the mystery material "starlite" apparently being able to withstand 10k Celsius. I could not find anything more. Not even any therotical nano materials. (Gotta be something for passive cooling). Anyway it was kind of depressing to know we are so limited.

  395. Yup. These people, and you all know who I am talking about. I've lived in both primary black poor neighborhoods and white suburbia. Also a bit in poor rural areas. The people themselves are the issue. Don't understand why people are against preservatives and GMOs. All natural and organic does not mean healthier. Also ironic we can complain about food scarcity when so many are obese. Can't help people who won't help themselves. I am mixed race, and grew up in bad neighborhoods and sick and tired of them complaining. I do not blame buisness owners for not wanting to take the risk just to have their store trashed by some hood rats for laughs and giggles... Sorry farmers don't want to be selling their produce in a sketchy neighborhood. Most states give food stamps, insurance, housing, CASH, public transportation or free internet access(urban).

  396. Mexico should be a given. Places like Argentina and Brazil should be economic power houses. Crazy that they aren't to me but as an American I hope they do! India should be too... Also I've seen videos much like this on the Phillipines and Indonesia. Which js surprising as those are island nations which to me always feel like are resource poor but it is changing fast! I would like to see more peaceful balance in the world and definitely don't want a new, new, world order dictated by the CC P. Edit- I said the Phillipines but I meant Vietnam. A lot of people are talking about it becoming big in cheap manufcaturing as China economy and demographics mature.

  397.  @terrywilson4166  Agreed. I can't wait to see the full capabilities. I feel like it is a bigger F-35, and not a smaller B-2 if that makes sense. I wonder what RCS versus the F 35 is. Being a smaller flying wing, and newest stealth tech. I just wish we would design some massive A2A missiles for our bombers. As big as possible for extra range. Basically own the skies from Chinese aircraft and missiles. I was just thinking of the QuickSink. I want to see that in action too. That thing is nuts.

  398. Won't this will be used on those poor sod who become insulin resistant? I am not diabetic, but do have hepatorenal syndrome. No liver or kidneys so I go to dialysis. There are many who cannot get their disease under control. Most of it due to age and diet, but I've heard a few suffer from rejection of medicine somehow. I try not to pry, but hard to not overhear when you got Doctors talking to them 3 feet away. Maybe that will be the first patients is my point. But yeah, nano machine tech for daily management use? Ehhh... EHHHH. Maybe if it was a cure, yeah. For a routine I'm not so sure we will see it for reasons you stated. Insurance isn't paying extra for that. I hope we both are way way wrong, and tomorrow releases the first anti aging nano machine tech for pennies!

Oh and I had brass knuckles but it was just one that weighed 1 pound with no spikes. Dog fighting is dead for 99% of the majority. At first I thought the issues in Vietnam were down to missiles not being advanced and failing which did happen - yet I guess it was actually more to do with the fact that they had to make visual confirmation before engaging leaving all advantages out the window to a more nimble jet. Anyway I hope the war in Ukraine is shows people all targets are vulnerable. Nothing is invincible and history shows that.

You're going to find some screwed up shit that we don't agree with today and 1,000 years from now they will say the same about us. Humans are inherently violent. We are lucky enough to have the luxury of living a relatively peaceful life.

  404. Even better if the B 21 Raider can also carry A2A missiles like I think it can... Now I have no proof of it yet I see why not. Fighters can bomb. Why can't bombers fire missiles! They can carry bigger radars, bigger missiles, and better sensors due to their size. In fact if I were the air force I would make the stealthiest bomber I could. Load it up with ridiculously big A2A missiles that out range the enemy. Then use a smaller more agile craft for data like the F35 to rely targeting information. Or some stealth radar drone with a smaller RCS than anything ever built. AWACs are awesome. I just feel like they are such a high priority target with no defense.

  405. ​ @mikemarkong I think EVs are good on range. Well once they reach 400mph. It is the charging stations that are the issue in my mind. Unless of course you drive a ton each day. Then I retract that statement. Yet most drive like 42 mile in America. Americans generally drive more than others, as we are less dense then many countries. Price and charging stations. Hated Kias my entire life. Literally the car college hippies drove. Then I saw a Kia EV6 GT. I didn't know they changed their logo. So I was like what is that? Then it blew everyone else at the stoplight out of the water, and must have went over 100mph before I lost sight of the damn thing. Looks better in real life.

Wish I asked him more things about all the crazy jobs he had. They all thought it was for some type of missile. Also it has a periscope! (I can't find information so this is hearsay. It also used a lot of gold. I can't see why it would though as gold as heavy and has a low melting point. If anyone knows if it did or didn't speak up! Electronics-sensors maybe?)

  408. Maybe running headfirst into a huge minefield with massive fortifications isn't the best option for war. If Ukraine was the US. They would've gone around the minefields through Russia. Or use our navy. Yet more importantly we would use our massive airforce to destroy artillery in the vicinity. We would create a corridor, and support them. Possibly even dropping airborne units, and using Marines somewhere else. Nah our Navy and Marines would be attacking Russia from Siberia! Wouldn't help directly - just draw resources away.

  409.  @iansmith4184  Damn it doesn't look that tall but you're correct. I'm all for the Valor. Screw the naysayers helicopters are on limited time and tilt powdered craft are the future due to things like retreating blade, and supersonic blades. I wonder how tilt rotors deal with vortex ring state. Also I've seen videos of it being pretty nimble and pilots say it's easier to fly than one would think.

  413. You know what?? I think those countries need to concede, and allow a trade path with a small tax at most. Maybe a small yearly payout. Not sit there, and basically hold their goods hostage, and try to milk them for every cent. Afterall BOTH countries would benefit. It would be similar to how the EU works with trade. Or get invaded, and a port taken by force. If there is a war I can understand it. Ethiopia is on the rise, and flexing aren't they? First with Egypt, and now this. What is funny is if Egypt ever attacked Ethiopia? I would understand that too. I guess taken Djiboutis ports are out of the question due to all the foreign bases there.

  415. I am 100% an EV guy. They have better performance where I want it by far. Tesla bare minimum design is horrendous to me. Buttons, and even dials are much more intuitive for the main tasks. Also in my opinion looks better. Tesla interiors are tacky. They were cool 14 years ago when touch pads were still novel. Not anymore. The issue is. Having a single touch screen is cheaper I have read, and manufacturers therfore WANT it to be a thing. I will also say. The touch screen isn't as problematic once you get use to it. Like seriously, some people act like it you have to solve a puzzle.

  416. Lucid needs a better marketing team. Seriously their cars are better from what others are saying, but they aren't even on some radars. Get some eccentric engineer who becomes the face of the company who calls Musk to a WWE or MMA match! Jokes aside what they also need is a slick futuristic car. Sort of disappointed with the look for their SUV, and I was ecstatic they were coming out with a new vehicle. A lightweight sports crossover like the EV6 GT would be sick. Make that thing look futuristic even if it costs some range. What I am trying to get at is they need to stand out. Make excitement for their vehicles, because the product for all intents and purpose the best EVs. One reason I will never buy a Tesla? Is the fact their interiors have no buttons, and are so bland inside. It was cool back in 2014, but not now. I also like the tactile feeling that buttons offer while being faster than going through touch menus.

  418. I don't understand oysters or clams. I heard they are tasteless or taste like seawater. Yet can be incredibly risky compared to many other foods to eat. Yet breeding them seems to be good due to the way they clean where they are farmed. They also can keep algae populations down which is incredibly important as algae blooms or red tides are wiping out entire swathes of the ocean. That is only getting worse as humans keep messing with the ocean. Like the sheer amount of nitrogen and phosphorous going into it from agriculture.

Russian leaders can also follow history and get wiped off the planet while crying "it isn't fair!" Now get off the internet and go enjoy whatever 11 years old do these days.

  421. YUP. We weren't too behind in the computer industry. We actually make a lot of hardware or tools required and things in the chain and now will have the FABs as well. Not everything needs a 1nm chip but AI will be essential and that's where it will shine. Europe(Netherlands) owns ASLM which is actually key piece in what TMC (Taiwanese FAB) uses to make the chips. Without the EUV machines ASLM makes TMC wouldn't be so far ahead. Now ASLM requires Carl Zeiss a German manufacturer who creates the insane mirrors for those machines. Also the light for those machines is made by Cymer (American). List goes on and on. All these companies are now not allowed to sell to China except TMC as far as I know. So yes we need to bring back our supply base for industrial scale capacity. From ammunition to minerals. America is blessed with resources and we have strong allies but we should always rely on ourselves first and foremost. I don't mind the government spending the money to invest. My issue is companies lining their pockets with it and how it is allocated - it shouldn't be to pay stockholders. It should come with stipulations. Our defense industry needs to fill the contracts promised to other countries as well instead of "lol ya we will ship when ready". Isreal, South Korea, and Japan are good examples of countries investing in their own industry. Proud of Australia for demanding to build their new sub at home.

Heck turbines don't even make make up a fraction of a percentage of landfill waste, and each one last 20-25 years. It is wild how people nit pick, and don't compare. Remewables will finally allow the West to unshackle from the middle east, and other unsavory actors. Not to mention a decentralized grid seems pretty awesome.

Probably got a better overall deal. I like the fact they aren't picky. Just trying to get things done, and not messing around.

  430. That is cool. So I'm dying if I don't get a transplant. Liver and kidney disease. Basically was on deaths door all year long last year and couldn't get stabilized till April this year. As you can imagine my GI system is trash, and so was my gut flora due to the antibiotics I was on. I'm down to one now. I was trying to find high caloric low volume product and came across Kefir. I gave it a shot as a skeptic, and I shit you not? My GI issues have mostly vanished. I went from dangerous GERD, IBS, and constant nausea to being able to sleep soundly without waking up with pure acid in my mouth. I ended up dropping the myriad of scripts given to me. I still can't believe how effective it was honestly. I'm not saying it will help everyone but people should give the stuff a shot! I didn't know buttermilk is the same thing. Always thought it was closer to a sweet condensed milk to be honest. The Kefir I buy is thick as hell. (Lifeway Organic Wildberry. Only kefir I could find with whole milk). Cheers fellas and ladies.

  434. They should. I saw a UFO with a friend, but this was back during Nokia days so no video. It was night time and we stopped because I couldn't find my wallet when I see the silhouette of a triangle with four lights. Three on the corners and one dim red that reflected light like a marble in the middle. It was just hovering there and wasn't moving so I told my friend to turn the car off and we are both looking at it seeing if it is moving towards us or what. What is crazy is I could see the silhouette of it against the night sky but hear NO noise so either it was fucking massive and high in the air or lower to the ground and completely silent. After a good five minutes it took off like it had two modes. Completely still to over the horizon within three seconds and then it came back in sight because it turned 90 degrees towards the ocean. It was there and gone within seconds and no man could survive that type of acceleration. I doubt any missile could move that fast. My head could barely keep up. A few years later I was told what I saw is called the Tr3b. It is a very common UFO spotted and recorded by people. I'm not going to sit here and say I know what it was and I don't expect anyone to believe me. If I weren't with someone who also saw it I would think it was my mind or something. I just know I saw it, it was silent, and it moved way faster than any large craft should. I do not know the size of it, could've been helicopter size or as large as a blimp. Anyway if I were the government and it wasn't my aircraft I would be investigating it too.

  435. Yeah NATO would rather have more 500 to 2,000 pound GPS bombs over 152mm artillery shells. If either had an airforce that could actually do SEAD. This war would be a lot different. The war ended up becoming a defensive style war, and Ukraine doesn't have the power to just avoid the defensive lines like something like the US does. Anyway give Ukraine the ability to hit all Russian ports. Even their east coast ports.

South Africa, and the way I hear it is just depresses the hell out of me. I think it is due to how great it was becoming when I first learned about it like twenty years ago. A country in Africa that will be on par with a country in Europe?! Effin awesome. Cool military vehicles. Best looking! Hah. Now it is like headlines of nothing good. "South Africa won't have water. No power for hospitals. Will only get worse before it gets better." That really sucks to hear.

Will it be turning around every day? Ha, not if half of it disintergrated on the way back down. That feat I think is far away. Also people make satellites to fit rockets. A lot of satellites will be able to take advantage of the sheer size which will be awesome as I heard some ideas require a rocket with a bigger diameter which it has. Let us hope after they finish this design they work on an even bigger rocket or work on bigger versions of the Raptors. Tesla and Space X likes robots, but they should invest in 3d printing too! 3D printing can allow so much that I'm surprised they aren't going heavy into it. Supposed to make the parts dirt cheap, but designing them isn't. I suspect due to 3d printing limitations have to be kept in mind.

ASLM newest machine uses c02 lasers to fire at a fast moving droplet of tin that vaporizers it mid air to create UV light 50,000 times a second which hits the silicon wafer which is photosensitive creating the pattern in what you want. I'll never use this information. It's more for my enjoyment, but it would be a million times better to specialize and focus on something to make it practical to use in my life. Knowledge might be power, but wisdom is knowing how to use it.

Even the MBTs sent are older versions, and with the Abrahms - lacking the armor that makes it by not giving depleted uranium armor package for fuck knows why. Remember that RPG 29 hit was from the top side of the turret. All tanks are vulnerable there.

  446. It actually doesn't look bad and seafood generally disgusts me sadly. Wish it didn't but I wasn't really raised with it although I've always lived in places where it was around. Think nasty ass fish sticks turned me off. Stil can't get over the fishy smell either. Anyway screw industrial fisherman. Love how authorities in the US crack down on some small row boat. Yet you have industrial boats dragging in all types of sealife killing them and THEN tossing unwanted fish into the sea! IMO you should have to use what you caught

  447. No. Foreign workers go there knowing what will happen. I don't buy it in today's day, and age Filipinos are that ignorant to know what is going on there. They choose it upon themselves, because it is better. The conditions just aren't typical western. I still don't like it, but if I go to you looking for work. You set the contract. I accept it. I have no right to go complaining. The whole keeping passport thing. That needs to stop. The wage? Well we can't be responsible for everyone's woes.

  448. Just saw that Pervsokite/silicone cells are being sold at around 24% for the total cell. 28% without the frame. That is in production. Some UK company. Channel "Just have a think" posted within the last two days. Then there are even better ones going through the paces with labs saying they defeated the longevity/sensitivty problem. I mean I seen some pervoskites can be basically printed. Others using established technology from micro chip manufacturing to work. If we can stop them from being so damn volatile or degrade so fast we would be set. Matt and TwoBitDavinci man... Always pedaling some untrustworthy start ups claims.

  449. I'm a little disappointed that he made lithium sound like it is rare Lithium is everywhere on earth. The ocean alone contains a lot in sea water, and we can extract it. I'm pretty sure there are already doing that, but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, if they can make calcium air batteries happen. Then maybe we can use that to make lithium air. If you guys don't know Lithium Air batteries are the end all be all batteries as far as energy density goes. The therotical limit if you use air from the atmosphere like engines do? Is a whopping 12.3k kwh/kg. That is as much as kerosene! Yet kerosene doesn't have the effiency of using efficent electric motors. That is as much as the average electric car uses! So a single kilogram battery or 2.2 pounds could give you a car. One light as hell, and fast as a rocket. Anyway lithium air should be funded. Last year a team in America got one to work at room tempature. We just need to get half the effiency on it, and it will be a game changer.

I'm not defending Apple. It is wrong. It needs to stop, and maybe it will teach these huge companies from doing shady crap like that. Now if it is true, and many other companies poach employees or steal IP? Why do we rarely hear about it. Why is this case different?

  458.  @bongmuon   @bongmuon  Yeah I think that is why I hate touch screens replacing buttons. It isn't tactile! I remember this one tech that was basically a blank colored screen, but it had haptic feedback PLUS the screen was made up of tiny little things that could rise or fall, creating buttons. It looked awesome, and was also useful for blind people. I remember this guy showing how long it took him to get to heated seats in his expensive ass car. He had to use a touch pad, and navigate through multiple menus. Basically impossible to do while driving. Just having what is essentially a tablet bolted onto the dash looks stupid as well. It was cool when Tesla first did it. Now it is same. Maybe if it was curved, and stylish I could get behind it. Anyway I would pay extra the option of a good looking dash with nice tactile, haptic, buttons. I did see one luxury car that was pretty legit. Had both a big touch, plus buttons.

  459. This technology among with passive cooling is pretty interesting. I just saw a video a few weeks back about this system that was completely electricity free using both evaporative and radiative cooling. Those systems have been around but this one had potential to freeze water! I was out of it on dialysis so forgive me, but they could already get pretty close to freezing. I beleive 41.1 but the materials were not there yet. Ugh wish I could find the video or team! These systems are great for decentralization regardless if other methods are used.

  463. Yeah hydrogens ship has sailed. Batteries for EVs are good enough with adjustment for most drivers since most don't drive more than 40 miles. Charging stations is a problem. With electricity. Which is already there. Hydrogens infrastructure is null. To me hydrogen sucks simply due to volumetric density. It is crap. It is dangerous to store. It likes to corrode and leak. It needs less in the air to blow up too I recently learned while learning about rockets lol. (Unless I am wrong on that part. Something about air fuel ratio). It is expensive. Hydrogen is great for space. Under water submarines. An option for industries or niche uses. I heard fossil fuel companies are funding the reseach for hydrogen, and trying to extend the need for them by switching everyone to hydrogen.

The Harvel turtles a,nd parry daggers did ruin in DS2. Yet there were so many set up. I remember the arena and used a scythe. One bastard ran around naked till time went out. I lost although I did more damage. DS2 had the best mechanics for me. DS3 was the least, I just felt like I was forced to use this or that set up.

  467. I understood the fued. I understand war as terrible as it is. Yet a country that can produce such monsters in such abundance shall gain no pity from me. These vile creatures whom actions were recorded by their own hands did not spring from thin air. They were given birth, raised, taught, fed, housed, and supported by a culture where it is acceptable for a dominate organization to reign. They were supported, directly, and indirectly. They turned a blind eye, and in their negligence of action allowed this hate to seether until it manifested in what we saw today. I do not believe all cultures are just, "good", or deserve to exist the older i get. 1940s Germany was one of them, and it took the heavy handed strategies of the allies to put a stop for the future of those around them. I do not think the creation of Palestine would make a huge impact. Therfor I will choose the lesser of two evils, because Isreal is not without blame. I just hope Isreal doesn't become worse. Those collateral damage I attribute to Hamas for hiding amongst civilians. It is a terrible situation, and I hope the truly innocent do survive, and get assimilated into other cultures where such hateful rhetoric, and dispicble actions are not encouraged, or ignored. If I was in a Palestinians shoes? Well I wouldn't expect mercy that is for sure, and I wouldn't keep giving strawman arguments on why it was okay or happened... It doesn't matter why it happened, and there is no justification in the world to where it makes it okay to decapitate children. Again not all cultures deserve to exist.

No elevator music and slow perfect chopping (seriously some make it look like they are doing a ritual. Are you cutting veggies bro or are summoning Cthulhu?) He also says what to do so and why, and WHY not to do something. What you can go with or without. Glad he makes a decent living off of it. He deserves it.

  469. I wouldn't hold my breath. The anti EV crowd does not listen to reason, and make up reasons to not like them. Act like charging at home while you're sleeping to get 350 miles isn't convenient for all but a tiny portion of the population. They won't like them no matter how much better performance they have. They use statistics from 10 years ago, make crap up, or don't understand how much better batteries are getting year in and out. They also don't understand we only produce enough power as necessary. So they say the grid will never be able to handle the 25-30% increase in demand if we switch. Thing is... If there is demand. Supply will come. Capitalism will do its thing. Unless you're Texas, than you'll just suffer with outages. I swear they don't like it since their vehicles don't make toddler noises with "vroom vroom."

  470. I want to see slinging too. People think the sling is a weak weapon and laugh at me when I say they will ruin your day. I would love to see what an Olympian who has trained daily in peek physical shape start throwing lead uhh bullets. Slings are devastating and I've read that a lead bullet can impact with a similar force of a 9mm(or was it a .45?) And that guy was just doing it as a hobby and by no means an expert. I know for a fact they can peirce skulls, fracture and break bone, and cause internal bleeding. I think it can do significant damage even against all but the heaviest armor too. Like fracture your arm through a shield or at least break the shield. Anyway they have the Javelin throw. But yeah horse archers were devastating. Always found it funny that when you think of Samurai you think of the sword. It's like nah man Samurai for one used many weapons including guns, but the bow was their primary weapon. In fact I think that's what their first martial art was - horse archery.

  471. ​ @Thunderrolls87 Using gas to create an EV over using gas to make your car is still better for the environment. About 30k miles is when an EV equalizes. Lithium is can be recycled too. Gas cannot. Just a phase? Dude it is the future. How blind can you EV haters be. If you lived 100 years ago you would be hating on automobes. "ill take my horse, and buggy. I won't be able to run out gas. Not enough gas stations nor gas in the world. I can feed my horse grass." You guys are dinosaurs, and in heavy denial. ICE are too slow for me. Also by the way. The auto market for both are down.

Predictive modeling, and analysis. Research. Data collection. Yet I am not sure if those are actually AI. Or they just call that, just because it is trendy! I think AI will be a great tool once we figure out the limitations.

You know what doesn't care about suffering of the things they eat? Predators... Ever see a bird picking at a deer alive? Orcas being orcas? Lions teaching young how to hunt? Both human and animals can have their cake and eat it too. Better then being slowly picked apart by predators or wasting away with disease or illness where any injury could mean death. Sure they eventually get killed and eaten but that's nature. I wish all livestock were raised in the best possible conditions and lived a happy and healthy life. You are what gives Vegans a bad name BTW.

  474.  @dct124  What? The apeed and range alone.. Enough said. Outside it's footprint it is perfect and the Defiant isn't a tiny hummingbird either and 100 knots slower. Helicopters are going to be niche because they cannot go much faster due to retreating blade stall. Valor is perfect. As long as it doesn't have some type of catastrophic design flaw that is. Oh and tilt rotors are just as safe as helicopters.

  475.  @kiabtoomlauj6249  It's not even that more agile. I've seen videos of both and the Valor is nimble as hell. I thought the pilot was crashing TBH for a moment there. It can land and take off just as quickly too as it can swivel on the fly and I'm sure the pilots are only going to get better with it. The thing already literally flies it's self without pilot input. Definitely the best option. Can't match that speed and range. The Defiant isn't some small craft either and one hit to the rotor blades will ruin both aircrafts days.

Yet needs to be more flexible; and a way to override some countries. Also it amazes me that countries are expected to accept immigrants from certain countries. Some cultures simply do not mesh with Western values, and are diminishing the countries they are in. Only accept educated people who want to assimilate. All the refugeea and immigrants should be able to be denied without reason.

So much technology has advandced since the F 22s inceptlon. At a rate that is mind blowing. Having a new platform ASAP I beleive is the right gamble. The Navy needs to hurry up with their massive interceptor. That thing better be fast as heck, a massive radar, and be able to carry missiles the size of telephone poles at mach 3, hah. (Big missile = more stand off range.). Oh and a lot of range.

This is why stealth is so important still no matter the naysayers. Either way I think Russia has like 500 S-400s at the start of the war. This is just the launcher though.

  486. How many people and businesses have gone out of their way to create things to profit off it, and help the world? If patents did not exist many wouldn't be have incentives to go out there to spend their time, money, and effort to create something better or new. The money generated then gives them wealth to put their minds into repeating the process. Sure there are issues with patents. Like those who sit on them, don't license, and especially those who file a million lawsuits to settle. Those later ones should be arrested and barred from convicting anyone from patent infringement for sure. Yet with all this said the benefits outweigh the risk.

  487. @Dusdaddy  Sure, but Duracell is also the most popular battery brand. I've personally never had a Duracell or an Energizer leak of any type. I do wish people would list if it were alkaline or lithium though. Lithium known for fire. Alkaline for leaking. Also location. Duracell has three plants. Maybe not all created equal. Lemme tell you I would absolutely feel terrible if they started leaking. When I worked retail, and if the rechargable batteries of either were on sale I would tell people to buy them unless the item was disposable anyway. Pay a few bucks extra for batteries that last forever. And I mean I would go through double AAs like crazy in my home. Never had luck with other battery brands, but definitely keeping this video in mind. Glad to see lithium finally get recognized. Blew my mind how many people would buy 10 double AA packs of batteries weekly.

  488. ​ @Technosplosion What is the point of a hydrogen vehicle that an EV can't do? Batteries are only getting better, using less of the rarer resources, charge faster, and hold more charge! Tons of break through have already happened in the labs. They just need to be brought up to scale or get manufacturing worked out. That doesn't include the other benefits of EVs over hydrogen which is acceleration. Then you have motors which are also getting significantly better like Koenigseggs Dark Matter which is just one of the most ridiculous motors out there.

  491. Yeah same. A jet turbine generator, plus solid state batteries to run a Transverse Flux Motor. Or an Axial flux. There is an axial flux motor right now that weighs 26kg, and has 25,000rpm, 978 peak horse power. Or 851bhp continuous at 650kw. 95% peak effiency. Inverter weighs 13kg. 86 pounds. It is called the SPX 177. Only 400nm of torque though, because it is two tiny motors in one. Koensiegg motor has 1250nm of torque while heavier at 800bhp. Think it is 39kg plus 15kg for inverter. 119 pounds. Electric motors are insane. Only improving too. It is crazy.

Not really sure how of why TBH, because there are still a lot of under developed places that in theroy should still be having more kids if the theroy is true. I guess 2023 is predicted when it will start. I guess the one child policy didn't help it so China is sort of weird demographically. Remember hearing how girls were being kidnapped from rural towns as slave wives 15 years ago as men couldn't find anyone. Immigration helped america but population growth has nearly flatlined even with it.

  497.  @pdxmarine1430  Well putting them under the wings makes them only available in hover mode. Not sure how fast it can move with them out of the way. Yeah I see them using door guns mostly. Still it will have it's arc of fire limited. I'm only saying it has less options compared to a helicopter. I don't know if they are planning on a chain mounted gun but that would be great if they did. Either way I am all for it and believe tilt powered vehicles make the most sense. Way too many advantages as helicopters reach their physical limits in speed and range. People will look for any reason to hate tilt rotors it seems although they are proven to be JUST as safe. The Valor already can fly on its own without pilot input.

  500.  @Yachtzeee  Haha exactly. Hybrids suck sometimes. Best and worse of both worlds. Are EVs for everyone? No. Nor is the charging always there. Yet these EV haters acting like plugging in your car at night for 400 plus miles is excruciating are dinosaurs. Most drive under 40 miles a day in America anyway. Also people bring up old data sets, and act like EVs havent progressed substainally in the past ten years alone. Battery cost has dropped by 89% in around ten years with no signs of stopping. EVs will be easier to fix. Last longer. Hell CATL has a million kilometer EV with a ten year warranty coming soon. This doesn't include superior performance due to electric motors. Or cheap fuel prices. Or the ability to charge with your own power if you have renewables. They still have so much improvement where ICE has hit therotical limits. Or getting close... Althoigh a vane engine would be dope if we can get it to work!

  501. Yeah they want that budget increase. With that said we do need to expand our industrial base, CPU, and be more efficient with our technological efforts. Easy to make weapons will be crucial.

Luckily that day the recruiter I dealt was sick of something so I dealt with the other one. Told him about how I take care of mom and nephew, and could get military housing. Thankfully he told me the truth. The 40k$ bonus wouldn't be worth it. I'm still mad at that first recruiter who was lying to me, but was told they have to recruit so many people during the height of Iraq and Afghanistan. So glad for that second recruiter as I was filling out the paper work. I would've left my gramps to pay for everything and take care of them.

  504. China threatens Japan does it not in the South China Sea? Pretty sure I read that. China has no qualms of attacking Japanese territory to destroy airfields. America does a lot for Japan. Protects their shipping, and their oil to name some. People think America has gone to war for oil for themselves. It did to protect the Petro dollar for sure. Yet an other reason was to protect oil supplies for our allies. Europe and Japan rely on Middle Eastern oil. Without America they would be much more vulnerable.

  509. I'm pretty sure tanks have always been vulnerable to infantry except for places like the desert with massive LOS. I think Russias military isn't using the advantages if does have very well. I mean look no further at their AF. They should have air superiority short of the MANPADS and such. Then again today a single soldier can literally stay concealed and snipe a tank from a distance. So maybe you are right. Mine fields are damn effective.

  511. Oh we already have that. It is called Flak my man! No idea why we stopped using a proximity fuse for AA. If you want a more high tech version look no further than AHEAD ammo. I think what makes it special is that it explodes in a more uniformed wall of tungsten than normal flak. Instead of having a proximity radar inside the shell for ignition. Each fuse is set as it leaves the barrel by a computer to explode at a predetermined time. Why they felt the need to make it that way is beyond me. I mean the proximity fuse has been around since WWII, and was considered the 3rd most game changing technology. Sometimes I think we think more advanced is better... Anyway I'm all for laser technology yet I think we still need to make point defense systems from The Expanse a reality as well.

  513. They actually had an option to switch to nuclear if desired if I remember. Yet one. They wouldn't get subs till 2035. Then the French company was hacked. Two the company at first said there would be a technological transfer so there was a bunch of shenanigans over that plus warranty disputes. (Whatever that means) Yet at first 90% of the subs would be built using Australian ship builders and industry. Then 60%! Then by the end of it the French company said the Australians manufacturing wasn't up to par at all, and wanted to basically build it all at home. The deal was crap. That last bit is the reason why I think Australia made the right move. Not only are they getting the technology and expertise themselves, but they more importantly will be manufacturing them mostly at home. Propping up all sorts of good paying jobs. We have seen with Russia geopolitics can swiftly change, and it is better to spend the extra money to build your own. Russia has to pay a premium now to get important pieces of manufacturing or struggling to build their own. Australia is still part of the world and being an isolated country these days only weakens you. Do Australians want the CCP to dominate the world? I know I don't. I use to think the West and America are bad for all the things we've do. Yet now that I'm older I realize the alternative is so so much worse.

  514. Yes it was a composite armor. I didn't realize how important this guy was in it. I remember reading about it nearly 20 years ago now. Can't beleive they shot someone with an arrow. I seen some tests before which didn't work. Not made correctly then! Anyway even a gamberson and some other clothe armors that aren't as complex were really damn good at protecting. How armies didn't just perish from heat exhaustion during hours of battle in the summer sun is beyond me.

  515.  @genkibob  Yup. Now some are complaining we can't make weapons fast enough haha. As an American I am all for countries to have a strong self defense industry. Also companies like Lockheed need to up their manufacturing FFS. GOD KNOWS we've given them enough money, and countries like Poland don't want to be on a "To be determined" base so they look for other options.

  516. It failed because it is missing one more giant engine in the middle making it 69 engines! Hurray for odd symmetry! Always a big one in the middle when you have two pylons on the wings. This jet will be made in the future. Something like it that is. Just an electric hybrid one. Tilt powered craft are the future! Crazy how far ahead of its time it was. We would still struggle to make it. Yet active flow control is being worked on now by NASA.

  517. Pretty clear Sabine is an angry older women who couldn't handle the job. My aunt is like her. Met tons of people like her in general. Not just a female thing. Just angry at their choices in life, and so bitter. Like she was blaming science for her... Daily commute, because she decided to get married. That can happen to anyone in any job. It is clear she has been slighted, and worked under crappy bosses. Who hasn't though? Don't blame the entire establishment as vast as science, because you had a rough go. What I see is. She loves the attention. She didn't get it as a scientist, and so this is now her way to channel emotion. Not unbiased thoughts. I noticed her videos having more vitriol, and disdain. She loves the attention from the alt groups. Pretty pathetic. I can't respect a self proclaimed scientist who is obviously so close minded. I don't like string theroy either, but she forgets ruling it out is science.

  519. No. If someone developed a new leap in battery technology to hold us over until Lithium Air comes around? They would be disgustingly rich. Remember it isn't just one company striving for it. It is literally countries. America, China, all of Western Europe are researching it for not just civilian, but military uses. Solid State is coming out in 2024. I'm really hoping more break throughs on lithium air can. Therotically they have the best maximum potential, and can be made to draw air from the environment making them hold up to 12.7kw kg. Anyway technology moves to rapidly for old companies to try to stagnant a technology so important to civilization. Governments would get involved.

  521. ​ @DanSoloha The things Russia has jammed only partially jammed it. A lot of them have back ups like interial navigation which has improved. Remember we give them hand me downs. Or could be taken out quickly when used with weapons the US has but Ukraine does not in great numbers. Like aircraft and harm missiles. Those bombs and shells were less accurate, but still much more accurate than dumb fire munitions.

  524.  @ItsJoKeZ  I ask myself. Is a gesture necessary over a touch pad? When I was typing asked myself what is faster and more precice. Being able to quickly look and click, then zoom in and click in VR or on a touch pad? I think a combination of both. Have the seat rotate so say... The bomber is being follow by a squadron of fighters who knows it is in the area yet cannot get a target lock . The CO pilot can quickly turn, click on the nearest threats. Select the weapon, and fire off the required amount in under seconds if quick enough. I'm just tossing ideas. Buttons are very quick. I hope they gave it the capabilities to launch a massive amount of AA missiles. I remember watching Future Weapons or was it a special episode of Dogfights? Anyway it was like nearly 15 years ago, and they were talking about the F 35 sensor array being able to help other platforms. In this case there was F 35s outnumbered and they capped on a Bone that was converted into a missile truck. Using the data link they sent the information and it unloaded over 21 missiles or something . I'm not sure what came of the program to be honest. Ironically I was looking for it the other day but while it has or will be upgraded nothing there called it a missile boat like described.

  525. Screw the chat models. AI research models for fields like chemistry, medicine, rockets, or even programming is where it is at. AI for drones to still be able to find, and prioritize targets before attacking while jammed are also already being tested in Ukraine. US ship hunting missiles already use it. AI for robots are being trained. Lots of legitimate uses for AI are possible. Once the frenzy calms down we will see it as it is fine tuned.

  527. I always think about that when topics like reparation, and was accused of being racist. Just for saying maybe African Americans can also sue Eastern African countries for slavery too. If anyone has read history from each region. You'll see slavery, conquest, and worse was sort of normal. People acting like Europe conquered Utopias that never seen war or enslaved till white man came. It is ridiculous. A lot of places conquered were terrible to their people themselves. My tribe known as the Black Foot were horrible to other tribes. So much so that other tribes allied with Europeans to get back. In fact the first time I met an elder he made it clear we were a tribe of warriors, and not a bunch of tree loving hippies essentially, haha. He was a drunk honestly but fun to talk with. Anyway humans way way worse to each other. Holding someone or a country responsible for things done 100 years ago quite honestly will only create a cycle.

  528. Yeah I had pipe dreams myself when I was young . Any third world power would be playing global chess just the same. It would probably pit a war between the east, and west, for its own gain or agenda to weaken both. Xi has stated multiple times he will go to war to unite, "China". Has concentration camps. Is aggressive with nearly every neighbor on land and sea. Stealing every IP like the grabbie hands the Han are. India, Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, Tibet, Vietnam, Mynamar, apal, and I think Bhutan and Burma have huge issues with China. Russia has invaded Ukraine unprovoked when it tried to join NATO after they were tired of Russia interfering with their politics. Russia never stopped expanding when the Soviets fell. Europe tried to think it would stop, and dreamed peace. Yet right after it fell it started a war in the Czech Republic, invaded it, and then same with Georgia. Then in 2014 invaded Ukraine, and then in 2022. Gee, no wonder why so many ex Soviet countries joined NATO. They knew how Moscow operates. Russia has covert operations everywhere. They play the same game, but even more with manipulating everything they can through their government funded third parties. Sorry if the rest of the world is too busy with their own dilemmas, and can hardly build a jet. Too busy trying to clean water. Let alone a modern fighter. France, Turkey, South Korea, and Japan are all countries you speak of. Yet you think they are pawns like a Russian bot. Nah bro, their goals align with the US, because it is pretty clear to everyone the alternatives are far far worse. I too, use to think the US was the worse. Then I grew up and saw what Russia and China do daily, and realized the US isn't so bad. The alternatives are terrible. TL:DR Russia and China definitely deserve the sanctions. If they chilled out no one would back the US.

  531. I just learned the Terminator and by extension the Armata are probably always going to be terrible. Why? (Still deadly as hell.) They built the chassis around the engine and that engine? It was originally a Nazi engine then the Soviets got their hands on it and made it their own. It has always had reliability issues and is extremely underpowered compared to Western engines. They figured they'd be able to fix the errors by the time everything else is done and NOPE! Now they are stuck with it because it wasn't designed for other engines and the brain drain in Russia since the collapse has been so severe that they cannot design a new one. So it sounded great on paper but in execution it is flawed. I've also read all those special self defense gadgets and such actually don't work or require the CREW TO ACTIVATE IT. Like someone is going to be able to see a missile from an ATGM coming at them and hit the button. Even China said it doesn't work as promised. It was a scandal there. All the optics and computers are also basically things civilians can purchase now. Russian corruption really ran deep. Now with sanctions I guess they don't have the precision tools required to even manufacture a great modern engine. I've only recently learned just how important it is to keep up your manufacturing base as it takes time, experience, and talent to really create something good.

  532. Rare earth minerals are everywhere. It's just that it's stupidly expensive with Western pay to actually mine them so we let other countries who DGAF about environmental damage plus low labor. Then again maybe they are in higher concentrations or actually rare! I don't know! Tried googling and looks like billionaires are already in a gold rush for rights.

  533. What I find funny is this law would be smart if it was put in place to encourage more advancement with genetic technology. Perfect time to design female only eggs. No need to shred males with some CRISPR (or something) Yet the European Union is highly against food technology even if it is proven safe. They suffer from what is called the naturalistic fallacy, and are anti GMOs. Look if we want to support a growing world population we need to figure out to be more efficent. How about we just either breed a species that has good male chickens or genetically engineer them. Or just don't have chicken.

  534. Yeah I think that is the reason. Burning never was. Pencils are not THAT flammable. Maybe the shavings? Anyway they wouldn't use a wooden pencil. Would've been mechanical from the get go. Yet as you say the tiny graphite shavings floating around would be an issue. At least liquids attract to each other in no gravity(micro gravity?)

  535. I was thinking when I played football. I could instantly recognize the ball, or the other team even when the colors were similar in fractions of a second Hell even when just playing with friends all with different street clothes I could do it. I assumed I was picking up their body language more than identifying their outfits/uniform. All while finding the ball on a field of 22 players. Or I could tell if someone was right behind me from sound, or looks from other players even. You learn to read the flow of the game without actually thinking. I think humans are great at subconsciously taking in quick information from all the sources available to us. Especially after years of practice. Also reminds me water diviners or water witches. Using two metal wands or sticks doesn't actually seem to increase the chances of them detecting close ground water. Yet experience definitely did matter. Those with like a decade of experience were also less likely to walk over known water sources since the scientists already mapped where the ground water was. The studies suggested they were using other clues subconsciously.

  538. Yeah this test is worth nothing really. What particles are in the water is the real question. If it gets rid of iron, but not arsenic then it isn't really a great filter. I seen other videos like this and that was how some filters were. A lot of things still yell ya to boil the water anyway. Also the best filters are ones that get rid of a ton of stuff then add in to make the water actually consumable. People don't realize pure water is... Just freaken terrible! I think can be quite unhealthy if you are fasting as pure water will drain your electrolytes without replacing them. Fun fact - FDA warns consumers to follow the directions and CLEAN YOUR FILTER. So many people are getting sick over tap due to this reason!

  539. And then a kids toy destroys both. Jokes aside a tank is a tank. If they killed back then they can kill now and I would feel safer knowing some were around. People gawk at old weapons like they are toys. Haha the guy said they can still be a threat and tank is a tank while I was typing it.

  541.  @techpulse1.2  I agree. Like I said the haters are annoying. Yet overlooking the promises is annoying too. Elon straight up lies probably to sell stock I think, because people don't hold him accountable for it at all. The Space X haters really bother me honestly. Don't think they realize just how insanely hard it is to make a rocket, and that failures are a part of it. Especially since Space X moves rapidly forward, and expect it to go wrong. Other companies take tiny steps. You would absolutely love a guy named Thunderb0lT or something like that on YT. His whole channel is Elon hating. That guy can go eff off.

  542. I don't see outside the change of ammunition to the 6.8 why even get the SIG. Seems the same to me. I would've picked the GD design personally as Bullpups have the physical advantage of the ability to be shorter or even longer if the thing needs be. As someone who doesn't spend years with an m4 a bullpup feels better to shoot and reloading doesn't bother me. Bullpups feel better for me to hold and aim as the weight is closer to the shoulder as well. As for ammunition the other two also looked interesting. Can't wait to see the civilian version of the other two.

  543. I can see why Matt wants a yard. Honestly he doesn't live in a drought stricten place. I personally don't understand the big deal of a perfect yard people strive for. Definitely don't understand where places force you to grow grass to a perfect height with HoAs. There is a person with a corner of their yard with native plants growing four feet high. It definitely looks like arse. My mom and I were talking about it today so it is hilarious this all came up. Like one hand it is native and good. On the other it looks like their attempting to spread Lyme disease. I'd prefer something that both is natural and looks good. This is coming from someone with six inch weeds sticking out of their yard right now! I'm terminally ill. I can't be cutting grass every other day.

  544. Why? It is salt. Paying for charity? Paying extra to watch someone toil like their ancestors did is just ridiculous. If their salt is somehow better and cannot be replicated any other way? Sure! I am all for paying extra for a product that is better and appreciate the work. Yet let us face it. There is absolutely nothing special about their salt outside it isn't processed. They can use technology and save their bodies to get the same product. Probably even a more consistent product because ya not relying on if his damn feet are sore and wounded on a bad day to smash the damn salt! Foot salt ancestors realized they didn't have to boil the water and could produce more by using the sun. They were willing to change. We all should be like them instead of saying folks should appreciate their hard work more because they expect more. I don't pity those who are stubborn to change.

  546. So I've seen it bad in Philadelphia, at a place called Kensington. Only spent time passing through, and it is like the apocalypse. I destroyed my liver by drinking wine, but when covid hit I switched to Vodka. Then when I went to quit I was told I had days to live. This was May. Kidneys failed due to the liver in September. Anyway so I'm no saint. So I had an orientation with a doctor who told me most of the organs now come from Fentynal OD. Since opiates don't destroy the organs. I had to sign papers saying will I accept organs from someone who did drugs. (They test it. Under 1% chance to get a transmittal disease, and an even lower one to get one of the ones that isn't treatable.) Anyway that shook me. Thought I would get one from an accident or something. I see addicts walking now, and I'm like damn. One of these lost people is going to give me a chance to live. (If I live to have a ch!nice at it. Doctors say it is a miracle i just celebrated an other year. 2022, I was in the hospital for 8 out of 12 months, and 85 pounds at one point. Detoxing nearly killed me.) Sorry for digressing. Either way I'm liberal, but those politicians are idiots. Those who all cops are just as bad. Decriminilzing drugs worked since they had a huge social net that included mental health. Without that net, law enforcement, rules, and support? You just create a society of chaos. Locking everyone up doesn't work. Either does this, clearly.

Yeah a coaxial pusher prop helicopter with a special suspension to not shake it's self apart is so much less complicated than a tilt rotor. Give me a break. The Osprey has an average record of crashes comparable to other aircraft like the Blackhawk. Surprising I know! Those crashes sadly did have a lot of people on board though, but the media and politicians used it for their own agendas. The myth that tilt rotors are unsafe will never die just like the F 35 can't take on 4 5g fighters. The media grabs a hold, people read the short article, and it's forever burnt into their minds.

  551. That is nonesense? Many highways do pay for themselves indirectly through increasing commerce, and trade is taxed. Then you have tolls on some roads. Railway can be profitable too without subsidies, but it shouldn't be. It should definitely either be ran by the government, and subsidized. At least for public transportation. It should also increase commerce, but I'm not sure how much just public rail increases it if any at all. Edit. Also he is talking about just high speed versus regular rail.

  557. Extrapolate. Because I think the only thing that matters is if the kid knows the material. Not whether they do redundant work. Putting memorization above all in the age of the internet. How about we teach kids to weed out misinformation, yes? When I went to school. 40% of our grade was home work. 60‰ of it was from a massive test, maybe a project, depending on class. I aced the test with 90% or higher. Yet I only got D-, barely passing as I couldn't, and didn't do the home work. I usually had to do extra credit the teachers gave me. They knew my home life was hell. They'd have given me a better grade if they could have for sure. It isn't right. We should be teaching functional critical thinking for our children. Not if they remember what exact date Pearl Habor happened. They only need to know what happened, and how things from history effect us today. (I love history too.) Do I really need to know how to do complex math if I am not going to become anything that uses it? What homochirality is? Second language? That should be taught at a young age. Again not so important. Critical thinking skills is what we need to focus on. Then the skills we use in daily life with technology. Banking/debt. How to pay bills. First aid. Empathy. Then electives for kids to pursue what they love instead of forcing them to do stuff they'll never use. Our education system is so out dated. So outdated. Needs to catch up with technology, and what we want the average person to be like. Not shove tedious school work down their throats. With that said you should be able to fail, and kick out problem kids. Parents use school as a baby sitter, and expect teachers to raise their children. I worked with "special behavioral" children. If they are disruptive to the entire class. Don't want to learn. They can be kicked out. Child Left Behind had good intentions. Terrible implementation. Getting rid of the Board of Education, lol. Trump strikes again. He really doesn't know how to fix anything. Just says he does. Then makes it all worse with half baked ideas that aren't thought through. Board of Education needs restructuring. Mofo already talking about raising the price cap of insulin. Now this. He isn't even President yet. Edit. People's debt should also vanish when the Board of Education does then too, by the way. Their rates were predatory to begin with.

  558. Nah what is stupid is the law is written so poorly. Handled so badly. Full of pretentious pricks who use language that isn't used anymore. That we need a human to study for six years or whatever to actually apply it. There is no failure in the idea we should be able to as as regular citizens to understand law. The idea fails, because the way laws work are STUPID. It is needlessly complex, full of loopholes, and poorly thought out. It should be updated to be easier to use or understand. Let us not even talk about the corruption inside the system.

  559. Yeah and subs have the best food from all the branches I'm told. The USN definitely knows it and does Its best. It is funny as anytime I see a submarine documentary there is ALOT of emphasis on the food. From cramming as much in the nooks and crannies to the moral of the crew. Even the top brass put special emphasis on the food due to the moral. Fuckers were served like royalty at their own private chambers haha and had special pizza. Was like damn imagine being an officer and not getting invited to that table. I want to try their pizza. Heard its good.

  560. Yeah their death rate due to alcoholism is insane. People die like 10 to 15 years younger to comparable countries. During the Soviet Era vodka sales were 25-35% give or take their tax revenue. That situation only became worse during the 90s. Then when they tried doing something in 2010 people switched to worse drugs so they stopped it. Anyway Russias demographics are a huge deal before the war, and now Putin made it so much worse between casualties and brain drain.

The only thing I know is you couldn't hear it. It took off from a standstill to insane speeds and turned just as insanely. It didn't break the sound barrier. Oh and somehow my friend and I lost a few hours of time. Haha JP on that last one.

Let's hope that newer Ceramic RAM does what they say it can and not bleed it dry for every penny. The cost per flight hour per aircraft has always been astounding to me.

  564. @MrGriff305 Dog fighting is obsolete. The chances of modern fighters getting close enough to use the gun is astoundingly low. In fact just getting into visual range is low. Please look up when the last dogfight happened where two engaged with a gun. Pretty sure the A 10 has the last gun kill, and that was on a helicopter. I mean the F 35 can fire missiles behind it. All the pilot has to do is look. Most modern missiles can fire off bore. F 22 has to still point its nose if I remember correctly unless the new upgrades changed it.

  565. Yup. Not to mention you have to think of the damn roads too. Many roads in say Japan and like island nations cannot handle a 50 ton vehicle period. Good luck crossing that stone bridge! This is why I do wish American vehicles would be amphibious after some modifications. I do disagree on precision being as important. You don't need the best of the best for everything. If it takes us ages to pump out one armored vehicle that might need to be be so precise to work that you can't even fix it in the field. It js the military and the equipment is going to go through hell and maintenence won't always be up to where it should. Overly engeered vehicles can backfire is all I'm saying.

  567. Humans were as intelligent as we are now. They simply didn't have the knowledge base, or technology. By definition they were not advanced. Making a mud pyramid doesn't make you advanced. That makes you primitive. Having bronze tools, pottery, a writing system, a civilization that isn't hunting or gathering is advanced. Our modern lives is more advanced than our ancestors could ever dream of. With that said I do think some stone age civilization that had Sumerian level tech did exsist. The issue would be is that it is underwater and eroded, because the water levels were much different 20k years ago due to something called Glaciers.

Rolling down windows and locking doors is annoying to me. Having knobs, buttons, and switches honestly is easier after I get use to it and it looks way better when done well (that is my opinion though.). I mean it is better than touch pads though!

  573. Agreed. That would be the best. Rotating Detonation Engines are also being experimented on which will be an amazing leap forward if we can get them to work. Not sure if those are air breathing as well. Right now it seems like it will be a form of rocket. So maybe it will only be food for missiles and space flight.

  574. I was hoping it would say. "Just STFU. JUST keep your mouth shut, and you will be better off or else." Then Trump reads it to the judge. Judge takes it as a threat. His lawyers just have to be full of anxiety anytime he opens his mouth, but you cannot tell Trump to keep quiet. Since he won't listen to anything as simple as that you have to sort of manipulate him. If I were them I would play into his ego, and theatre side, and tell him to wear an actual gag. "They want to silent you by any means. Take away your freedom of speech. So from now on you will wear a gag as a sign as protest. Show this is how they treat people with different views." (Not that it has anything to do with it.) As ridiculous as that would be? I think it would be better for him, and would be absolutely hilarious if he did that.

  575. Crimea unlike other parts has a lot of Russian civilians and Pro Russian people. I could also see tactical nukes being used as a last FU by Russia or I wouldn't put it past them. If Ukarine takes Crimea what happens to the people? I know there was a mass influx of Russians and exodus of Ukrainians in the first war.

  576. Combat drones have been a staple of science fiction forever now. Including flying explosives. I'm still suprised we haven't seen a small drone that can strafe with shotgun shells or a recoiless gun. Because I think that is the future. Swarms of drones delivered from some platform whether that is a missile, a vehicle, a huge artillery shell or even some mother ship. Then once deployed become hunter seekers that fly around a selected sector like a swarm of bats or a swarm of small birds. Turtle tanks just remind me of 40k for sure. I wonder if dropping white phosphorus would work.

  581. I can't always blame some people. She isn't the first or last on either side. I can't fault everyone for not taking the moral high ground and hanging themselves. I think if one goes out of their way and fully back them is a different story but some are dragged into it and see no way out. Act the part or die. Especially if they have leverage against your family or friends somehow. Like they said she was smart enough to have some leverage herself. Both sides did questionable shit during the war. War is ugly as hell and not everyone is a shining knight. She wasn't a sworn soldier or politician. She was a fashion mogul FFS. Don't care for her or her clothes. Don't undersrand luxury brands TBH. Paying for names and not necessarily quality is beyond me. I don't care who makes it as long as it isn't a sweat shop. Bob from next door is cool enough for me!.

  583. I was told that the Covenant was held up in some ancient fortress. God knows how old it was... I don't know the message was scrambled but orders were let none survive. My ODST squad came in at night and I realized we could destroy the stronghold with a few well placed explosives and bury it. The plan worked flawlessly. That's when HQ came in for a report as they saw the carnage... That's when I learned it was a monetary for nuns and my orders were the nuns must survive. Whoops. Mission accomplished. Oh yeah great gun, Spartans suck.

  584. Yeah this was staged. At first I was like it just made them look pathetic, and make Isreal look stronger. Especially since so many countries came in to help Isreal, and such few damage was done. Then I thought about it. It was absolutely not meant to do physical damage to escalate. First and foremost it was to show Iran wouldn't sit down. Boost confidence with their people and allies. Also make Isreal pay economically. Which it did. Then anything like test defenses or hit something important then, yeah. Those were just bonuses. What is crazy is Isreall had enough missiles. I think Iran came out on top with this one. Not by much. Israel has to be getting low on missiles. It would have been funny if those drones got to the target, and circled instead of blowing something up. Come to find out there were no explosives active on them. That would have made Israel look stupid.

  587. Sure. Then you have luxury items which this is where you're paying for the brand. I have no doubts there are Dutch ovens that are cheaper for the same quality or better even for the same price. I mean if you're buying something dirt cheap it is probably not good. Just have to look it up, and ask around. Yet when you're purchasing something that is relatively a simple product to manufacture you absolutely can get a cheaper versions or better versions for the same price. Sounds like you're paying for a brand, a quality check, and also because they didn't update the way they are manufacturing it. Them making it with the same forge shouldn't be a selling point if there are ways to make the same product for cheaper. With that said at least you know what you get. I personally would get the 80$ one since the reviews seem to say they are just as good. Not knocking on anyone who does have one either. If I had the money to blow why not.

  589. Yes, when marching that is the standards soldiers modern kit. However you act like most fights don't have you lay down your rut, and then fight... Same with soldiers back then. In fact the Legionairs marched with the same amount if not more. Even with their baggage train. Then they'd put everything not required for combat away at camp before battle. Of course knights had their own servants, and such. I'd think of them more like a tanker or other fighting calvary units.

Avionics and sensors have come a long fucking way... Anyone try flying a purely mechanical helicopter ? You're going to crash the thing in a second. Now a two year old can literally fly one for 10 USD. It's just the media and politicians had a field day for their own agenda and each crash did have a large amount of deaths because it's a massive transport. The F 35 losing to the F 16 during a training exercise is an other stigma which will NEVER DIE. Why? People read headlines, and the media and politicians are under no obligation to redact misinformation. Haters gunna hate.

  593. TPV cells are legit and are the future. We need more. He says 10 kwh/kg, and the graph showed less than 4 liters. My question is that with the total system of just the fuel? Probably just the fuel, huh. That would be like the hydrogen crowd saying, "hydrogen has 23kw/kg with a fuel cell!" Yeah, then include the reinforced tanks, and everything, and you get a car that weighs more than the pure EV it is in competition for. (Model 3 versus Mirai. Model 3 weighs less somehow.) Anyway MIT just produced TPVs with the efficiency of our best turbines with no moving parts. It does take 2,000 celius though, but that is still awesome. Anyway like someone else said. The theroy is sound. I just don't think they can make it happen. DoD would be ontop of this for certain applications I think. TPV + Nuclear, and one decade from now - Fusion cells - please! I need a battery the size of a soda can for an exoskeleton. You need one too.

Why would you destroy your own, backyard destroy your water supply, risk your familes health for something when someone else is willing to do it for cheaper for you? No matter what you do it will never be cheaper due to standards. We used China for as long as we could. Yet now that they aren't willing to deal an other country will surely take the heed. Also technology has improved a lot in the last decade which is a benefit if we are starting now for sheer security reasons. Seriously the toxic impact of China on their own land is insane. Kobalt might be the only hard one. I have to look again. They swooped in to take it Japan in the Congo since Japan and the West had requirements for the government. Think China got a steal on that one actually.

  600.  @katiebarber407  A lot of people in the west laud the Dussian scientists and what they have done so what are you talking about? When you think of an other country for space you think of Russia. Not Japan, Europe, South Korea, China, or India. Just because people don't randomly talk about Russia mid conversation doesn't mean anything. "Ah this weather, brutal, am I right? Nothing like Venus though! Russia landed on Venus multiple times ha, amazing isn't it?" Landing on the moon was a big deal politically for both sides. The space race was a good way for us to flex our military muscle back then and so putting large funds into space development which would indirectly help military development was paramount.

I'm wondering what model you're looking at though. Like is that a high end F 150 with a massive engine? Love how the makers are demanding the suppliers to cut cost.

  616. ​ @Jermo7899  This isn't true at all. One - the weather and atmospheric conditions can greatly effect the efficiency of a laser to the point where it will be ineffective at destroying the target in time. Two - as hypersonics become faster and also will eventually have ones that are low flying cruise missiles means a laser system has a lot less time to destroy that target. They aren't instant kills when they hit like Star Wars ya know? You have to be on target until it melts through the missile and damages something important. So there will be a good old fashioned arms race. Lasers will get stronger but bigger and requiring more energy per kill. The more powerful the laser the less time needed to be on target and I am sure we will eventually be networking multiple lasers in a grid or something to be able to focus on one target. Missiles will become faster and faster and probably will benefit from material science and become armored against lasers. Like all armor you sacrifice speed and payload/range for protection. Remember the missile only needs to survive long enough to hit the target. So a terrain following hypersonic missile will have the benefit of being protected by the curative of the earth for much of its flight path unless we start sending lasers into atmosphere which I know we will. Maybe they'll make hypersonic missiles that are like tanks - can't manuever worth a donkeys arse and are super heavy but once flying it takes some explosion of something with mass to bring it down. Add in counter measures like MIRVS and such and it will be a good old fashioned arms race for sure with each system one upping the last. The Navy needs at least a 10mw laser fresken yesterday to protect our giant arse super carriers which will be a large juicy target. Even if we could pump them out training 6,000 men plus the pilots alone is a huge achievement. Takes a lot less effort and resources to create a bunch of hypersonic missiles and launch them over producing a single carrier. Glad we are starting to see the first generation lasers online even though the Styrkers keep getting pushed back for whatever reason but websites say they've been ready. Just a few minor touches... Whatever that means. Anyway hypersonics will not go away any time soon dude i promise you that.

  617. They'd still need to learn how to make the parts of the other suppliers. The mirrors are the flatest on earth for instance which requires extreme engineering from those who make the tools. They are catching up though by their sheer numbers and resources not to mention their government can swivel on a dime. However other nations are getting very upset with them in their own backyard. Sucks the world is becoming so polarized.

  618. In the long video the T90m gets hit by something from the left of the video right at the start. It wasn't the first Bradley as it was behind cover. Then the first Bradley opens up. Before going around to the right, and up. Then fast forward with all the chaos te tank gets hit again at the end by a drone when it hit the tree. Then the crew bails, and the T 90 starts to move backwards. Before I hear being finished by drones. So there were four things attacking. The two Bradleys, and the FPV drone. I'm curious what that mystery shot was at the beginning. Has anyone confirmed what it was? Either way I agree the Bradley knocked out the sensors. You only need to disable the tank. The Bradley's did an amazing job. I guess the T 90m crew at least got out so props to them too. Crazy how that turret was spinning like that.

  620.  @Matt-yg8ub  Have you not seen the tests of it performing a landing mid transformation? It literally can land and take off while transitioning at the same time. Meaning it can do it with forward airspeed and without the roto being either fully up or fully down. It legit does the same maneuvers as any other helicopter. It is a sitting duck just like any other helicopter is while going to land. I've seen videos of both craft doing maneuvers and I honestly don't see that much of a agility advantage of the Defiance.

About one one hundrenth of a millimeter. Everything in the Cybertruck made with ultra fine precision. Including things from suppliers. What a joke. Every single manufacturing engineer, or specialist I met laughed at that, and thought it was a great joke. It is not impossible, but would be so outrageously expensive to achieve not to mention the labor, skill, and time involved. He's a good venture capitalist at best, and good at getting companies rolling. That is it. I've already seen Cyber Trucks with decent sized gaps beteeen panels.

  625. China and Russia would be ay each other throats if America and by extension the West(allies like Japan) were not their biggest threat. Both are ony allies since they know they need someone to back them, and their authortarian governments. They both want the same spheres of infulence in west asia. Both have land disputes which don't seem hot. I do not think either think highly of each other racially or culturally. The thing about this situation is China is bleeding Russia, because Russia has found itsself in a desperate situation economically. China is absolutely the one with all the leverage. China loves that cheap oil, and cheaper resources. (Yeah Russia banned oil exports.) Both want to trade each other products, but specifically Russia. I wonder how much they are trading that aren't on the books. It would be easy for both to fudge numbers. I think this also is a step in a larger plan for China to eventually start growing their own aerospace manufacuring capabilities. As we know China is on the up and up, while Russia doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. It wouldn't suprise me if Russia starts buying or using Chinese aerospace parts or planes once their stolen vehicles become unable to fly. Putin is an idiot for not focusing on keeping his intelligent people home. The Soviets had great scientists and engineers... Most with a brain fled the country, and brought their talent with them. Now he is just sending waves of young adult men to die in mindfields, while getting hammered by Western 155mm.

  629. What ignorant people like you don't understand is... Hydrogen has some of the poorest volumetric density, and there is no way around it. There are different battery technologies. Like Lithium Air that could have 5k kwh per kg, or aluminum Air that can have just as much yet isn't rechargeable. (Much lighter though.) Battery powered planes aren't going to be happening for a bit. Yet unlike hydrogen there is theoretical potential with batteries. When they do start taking off they will be for shorter flights, carrying less people. We will require more planes, but it is fine since electric motors are a fraction of the cost of jets. A fraction to maintain, and a fraction to operate. For intercontinental flights? Well hydrogen certainly isn't going to be doing that either due to the volumetric issue. Until we learn how to make 5k plus BAR tanks, which are also would be extremely bulky and heavy. Fossil fuels for those flights, and electric batteries for everything else.

  630. Winter tires definitely are becoming a harder sell, but are a god send for the few days you need em where I live. Outside Philly now. I was in CT/RI ten years ago, and even then it was rare to need em if you lived in town. Winters are becoming so much more milder along with tempature swings. Where I lived in Ri? It was the boonies for the state, and our back road led to the highway. So the highway was good, but our road had this huge 40 degree windy hill! Impossible to even walk up sometimes. Well someone in the neighborhood owned an average sized excavator, and did it himself lol. People there were awesome. Towns these days throw down so much salt as well. It just becomes all mush instantly. Anyway sometimes even snow tires won't help you. Either need to get cleats or chains or god. I always picked the later even though I am not religious.

Yet they had a whole slew of different systems, and people that made them. They still make like 60 plus nanometer chips. Soviets arguably had focused more on missile tech compared to the west who focused on air power. It was their way to defeat a larger Air Force. I don't get it.

  637. Yeah they have great gear. Where the shine seems to be their tanks and their surface SHIPS. Those destroyers that they can knock out at insane rates for cheap are amazing. I get why America doesn't buy them. We don't want to rely on others. Yet we should at least have them come over, and create a dockyard plus train workers. Glad to have SK on our team. That fifth gen aircraft? Someone said it lacks an internal bay? The hell. Why build a stealth jet that can be seen and targeted while carrying weapons... Hope that information was wrong.

  638. ​ @autohmae  What? ICE engines less complex? Yeah maybe a simple two stroke... Yet a modern ICE in your car is much more complex than a battery powered EV. I mean the tolerances and materials used. The air fuel mixture! The oil! All the moving parts working in unison over bumps and in different atmospheres. It is insane how complex a modern car is and that doesn't include things like the exhaust flow or catalytic converter. Ugh... Transmissions are insane! Sorry man I think you're over complicating EVs somehow. It is because we've been using ICE engines for 100 years that we can make the damn things so well. Battery technology or chemistry really held back electric cars. Now however thst is changing. I hope I get to see iron oxide magnets get incorporated into stuff. They - in theroy - can make the strongest permanent magnets which can revolutionize a lot of industries! Make a lot things more efficient or wickedly powerful small motors.

  639. Well I hate to break it to you. I guess AI hype is pushing QC hype due to QC making AI a lot better if done right. Also if you want more computing news. I recommend looking up stuff about photonic computing. A company called Q.Ant is already making photonic chips that can be installed into a regular server rack, right? They claim give them two more years before their chips rival Nvidia in performance. Which would be a godsend since it can battle their monopoly. Their chips due to the nature of photonics are smaller, and generate less heat for similar performance. Soon. So they say. For AI purposes only. Yet maybe Microsoft and Sony will stop being cheap computers, and start being specialized hardware built for only games. Remember when they actually did that! I wanna see PPUs or physics processing units. TPUs, and other specialized hardware in em. Wouldn't it be nice if games actually had physics again. Destructible enviroments. Character models who didn't clip, and had smooth animations inside the environment? With things like Gensisis only getting better. It will happen, but only if we have the hardware to actually do it.

  640. I thought nothing special at first. Thought it was stupid at first honestly with the design of the hull. Like a ship that has part of it underwater? With all that drag? Then they talked about the forward propellers and design. How the hell hasn't that been thought of before? Honestly though what is it great at that other designs cannot do? It isn't a blue water ship which is the biggest issue. I am pretty sure hydrofoils are still faster and more efficient. I think if it could be a blue water ship then it would be used. Stability is not enough. I would like to see more ships use a forward propeller design or read about it. Edit: Using cavitation is genius honestly and I bet that is where the Navy was most interesting. So it is stable, and relatively quick. Also I hope the company can sue. I won't get into it, but I think it is bull that the government did what they did. That is the type of company we should be supporting quite honestly. Sick of companies getting stricken down since they aren't a major weapon manufacturer who drops billions on lobbying.

  641. Newest one called the Barak or Mk 5 is insane.. He should have gone into the systems sensors for situational awareness as I beleive they also have radar for detecting whos basically shooting at them. My words don't express how easy the systems seem to be inside. Reminds me of a video game. Sad they didn't talk about that one, but I think they only have a few, and are testing them.

  642. Cargo that isn't dense is what is perfect for electric semis to be honest. Not that EV Semis don't have the raw torque. If you don't need a super powered diesel truck to move your average freight then why use it when it is so damn expensive. Personally I think Series Hybrids semis should have been done years ago for long haul, and heavy lifting niche trucks. Blows my mind only a handful like Edison exist. Anyway I'm glad Tesla is doing it, because majior manufacturers will follow suit. Batteries will only get significantly better from on out. Let's hope more breakthroughs in lithium air batteries happen. Talking 1.5kwh to 5k kwh per KG! Max 12,000kwh per KG if you get air from the atmosphere like a jet! So say we developed an 80% effiency? 10kwh! We need this yesterday.

  643. If God is real. Did God not give us the ability to manipulate the universe he built? Give us the intelligence, hands, and imagination? Who are you to speak for a being so much more powerful, and knowledgeable? Do you believe yourself so high as to be able to judge other men? No, I'm pretty sure the Bible makes it clear that is reserved for God. Who's to judge what technology should, and shouldn't be used I'm agnostic. Meaning I don't know. I won't pretend, and act like it. Yet I am pretty sure God wouldn't have allowed us to understand his making or make us in his image if he wanted to limit us. We'd be animals if we couldn't use complex math, and knowledge. Unless of course you're implying he made a mistake. Or that you are a prophet, and he whispers sweet nothing into your ear as Marijuana bushes burn in front of you.

  645. I believe Helicopters as we know them are on the way out as we make more efficient designs. Tilt or vector aircraft are definitely the future. A quad copter that can also tilt it's four rotors will also allow for a smaller footprint plus speed. Wonder if we will see a tilt turbofan aircraft anytime soon.

  646. That's because their problems were fixed a long time ago mate. We only hear about the complex failures and don't give a second about 95% of those complex systems that do work fine as they do it with greater efficiency and reliability that older vehicles would dream of. They didn't actually explain what was happening. WTF does technical problems mean.

No getting around the hydrogen density problem as far as I'm aware. Well maybe if one of those nano space magic materials which can carry more hydrogen then it can in pure liquid form. Like how water holds more hydrogen in it per volume then pure liquid hydrogen which is just mind blowing to me. To bad we couldn't separate the hydrogen from water very efficiently.

  649. One day? This goes back forever. However this goes way beyond just boarders. Taiwan recently made a deal to have TSCM open a new chip factory - the highest type of chips I.E. military grade. (They (TSCM also are opening some plants in Europe.) They are opening a plant in China but it won't make the best ones. Should read up on TSCM and ALSM and how much power they have. Remember the USA Is trying to make its own top of the line CPUs. Taiwan basically owns the market. Of course there is a lot more to it. China has always been salty about Taiwan.

  653.  @pioneerventures1737  Sorry. Groton Connecticut. Probably spring 2005. As for size. I couldn't tell you. Either it was massive and high in the air or aircraft size and low to the ground. Since it was a bright night sky I could see the silhouette yet I couldn't get any perspective on size without lying. Only the clouds, stars, trees, and moon could I judge from which aren't great. I still could see the silhouette for much of it before only lights were visible so there is that. So maybe it was large and high up. Still I couldn't be certain. While it was over us it wasn't like Alex story where it was RIGHT there ominously about to scoop me up haha. Thank God my friend already went full X Files afterwards and even tried to say we lost a half hour of time.

I recently started smoking again. Crazy how much the weed has changed in my 12 year hiatus. A lot of the new strains I think suck. Don't make me feel good. Tried Mandarin Zskittles, and it was garbage. Made me tweak. Felt like I was coming off a stimulant. Funny enough OG Chem 4 is the best one I bought. Allowed me to eat a lot which is the primary reason I am smoking again, and gave me a solid eurphporia. Yet it didn't really get me stoned for dialysis if I smoked more. Why can't Dems and Republicans write decent legislation. Drives me nuts.

That thing is wild for how much it weighs. You aren't going to be hitting 200mph unless you go to a track. So for me EVs insane acceleration and lower center of mass is what is great. Sure they are heavier yet that will get better in time. For those who don't like it? Well I can't help ya. Things change. Download the sound on top of adding in a massive sound system or something.

  663. "Ah, I see no evidence of life before me on this frozen pond. Ha take that god and the multiverse. Our universe doesn't support life!" While I personally beleive life is just extremely hard to get started, let alone turn into a thriving intelligent species? These people here have too much time. Neither have proven anything. We have explored nothing of the universe. Our communications have basically not even gotten past our yard. What I feel like we should be focusing on is trying to have different slurries mimiciking exo planet conditions. See if we can get complex molecules sort of like how we've successfully created pre-RNA. I am not yet convinced Earth conditons are required for intelligence. I think life is perfect for us, because we evolved to it.

  664. Yeah it blows my mind how many people think you need X Y AND Z for something to work. When your life and lives of loved ones is on the line you can learn real quick. If the Stryker was just a vehicle with optics it would still be useful quite honestly. I feel like optics and recon is 90٪ of war ATM. Finding target, identifying them, and using the best option you have to quickly take them out and acquire a new one is what this war is about. The military that can use its armored forces like they were meant to be used (less static) and catching enemies off guard and keeping them on a back foot without over extending is what will matters. I don't think a static war of attrition will work in Ukraine favor since they don't have the ability to hit the factories.

Yeah that ain't happening.

I hear 5g will be needed with more and more phones requiring so much more data. Apps are getting crazy heavy just to use, cars want telemetry, cloud computing AI, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong, as I read that in passing. Yet there is only so much traffic right? They say there is 6g already nearly here in under five years, but not sure what it will be compromised of. Some say terahertz. Which is nuts if we have issues sending gigahertz. Still waiting on those blimps shooting lasers.

  672. It isn't even just how hard it is to handle. The corrosion, and leaks are definitely a big part why it is stupid. It is the volumetric density that is the issue. Unless we want massive vehicles with that is all fuel tank. Hydrogens volumetric density is the issue! You can have the most efficent fuel cell you want. The problem is even 500 BAR tanks don't hold a whole lot. Those high pressure tanks are heavy and expensive for saftey reasons so it isn't like you can just go bigger like a rocket. You don't want to skimp on the quality of the construction either since that will kill people randomly. When you factor in the fact that battery tech developing as fast as it is? It makes no sense to try to build everything for hydrogen when EVs can out perform them in every metric. Look at Toyotas offerings. Their cars don't get more range really than an EV. They are heavier than a Model 3, less space inside the vehicle since it is dedicated to holding fuel, costlier, and there is almost zero infrastructure to support it all! Let us not even forget hydrogen cars don't even get the insane HP. They are relatively slow in comparison to a pure EV. I don't know why, because they still use electric motors. Maybe fuel cells just can't unload their stored power like banks of batteries can, I guess. It does blow my mind that a liter of water holds more hydrogen atoms than a liter of PURE LIQUID hydrogen! By a significant amount! Maybe one day we can create some futuristic nano sponge that somehow packs hydrogen atoms into a smaller area, and that takes little energy to release. But until then I just don't see hydrogen being used for anything except niche uses. It is great for space shenanigans.

  673. ​ @jacobwatson3063 I try pointing that out to people. They compare weapon output to WWII. First I point out that WWII was literally a TOTAL War. There hasn't been a modern total war with super powers since WWII. There is a huge difference like you said between a wartime economy, and the cold war style we are gearing up for now. People also forget that the next war for the US will be a Naval and Air war mostly. It will be nothing like the Russian or Ukrainian war who both have totally different military doctrines. The US on a war path would have NEVER given Russia an entire winter to dig in unmolested. Also the US wouldn't really need to worry about boarders... If the US was in Ukraine right now I guarantee you they'd be doing a northern hook around the fields through northern Ukraine or Belarus if they had to. While siminateously invading via the Black Sea and Eastern Russia. Ukraine cannot do that. Russia knows this and had time to build a defense that any army would struggle with. Therefor this war has become an artillery war due to the trench warfare. America's artillery is our airforce for better or worse. Still with all thst said I do hope we do get into high gear. I also agree that factory looks outdated. I bet they will just pocket the surge of extra money for stock holders honestly which is BS instead of creating a better plant.

  674. Yeah same with US since Kia isn't building them here. I love the EV6 GT. It definitely needs better range or else it would be perfect to me. Other vehicles like the Model Y or Mach E don't have the styling. The EV6 GT looks better in real life. Why would I need supercar performance for groceries? Well... I live in NJ and people act like they are race car drivers here.

  675. Crazy so many from CT. My friend and I absolutely saw one late at night when he was bringing me home in Groton CT! I saw something and was like huh that has weird lights. You see that? Is that a helicopter? So he stops the car and at the time we are thinking it is coming towards and nearly right above us. Yet after looking for a minute it hasn't moved at all so I tell him to turn off the car. Still nothing! So we get out of the car and it is just floating above us. Now here is the weird thing... We could see the silhouette of it in the shape of a triangle against the night sky. It had three light, and one bigger in the middle that reflected light weirdly - almost like looking at a red marble with an inner light. Yet there was no noise at all on top of it. So that either means the thing was massive and high up in the sky. Or super quiet and low to the ground... So it couldn't be a helicopter as I'm use to them. Anyway we are standing there for five minutes and this was right when cell phones had cameras so it had like 1 mega pixel, haha. He tried though. Anyway then it took off like a bat out of hell. There was no acceleration. Just standing still and full speed. It traveled north about a mile before going over a hill and tree line and then a split second later appeared where the hill dipped heading east over the ocean. With how fast it popped east I doubt it even turned - just a hard right like a upside down L angle. That acceleration and G force would have killed anyone. I only told a few people about the story. Years later an ex I told it to showed me a story about the TR3B and sure enough it is it. Amazes me how so many others seen it. I'm a skeptic yet I cannot deny what I saw. I won't pretend to know what it is or speculate. I just know what both of us saw and know how fast the f***ing thing went and that it was silent. I wish I had something to judge the size or speed of it, but it was a bright night sky with only some clouds. Darker then the night sky though! No sonic boom by the way - complete silence. Again it didn't acceleration not like a rocket. Shot off like a bullet. Total time was probably a bit less then ten minutes. When it was hovering it did absolutely nothing. Just hope it is on my side!

All the pilots love it though and it completely wipes the floor in most encounters against 4th generation.

They weren't told as it wasn't in the planning, and then when they went to land they couldn't see them through the optics. Then everyone forgets an other thing... Dust! When a helicopter goes to land dust starts kicking up way before. So yeah I could see the helicopter pilot not seeing a chain link at the last moment. Then the rotor wash of the second helicopter could have played a role maybe? I'm not sure how the mission was actually flown.

Like I know they hwve the designs, the grubby theiving twits. Probably have the original blue prints smuggled through some spies ass. So why can't they duplicate them? I came up with that, because no one can ever answer it.

Americans are wealthier, but Europeans have more time. If I were taxed at such high rates I wouldn't want to work either. Where America shines hands down is for high paying jobs in fields like tech or finance. I've met many Europeans who came here simply for that reason. It was cheaper for them to get a huge salary. Pay less in taxes. Then get their own medical insurance, and such. Some moved to dirt cheap areas then worked remotely, hah. Mofos avoiding high cost of living like the plague.

Microwaves don't leave radiation anymore than your cell and various other forms of radtion. Your electric kettle also gives off radiation just in a different wave length. I assure you are perfectly safe unless you're standing next to one that is broken with the power on - that isn't healthy but it is not contaminating your food in any amounts even worth noticing. We are bombarded by all forms of radiation via electronics and natural occurrences at every moment of our waking lives.

  694. ​ @Nicksonian  Veganism and the "healthy" food industry largely doesn't care about the environment. Also to put it bluntly how spoiled one needs to be to actually live a vegan life. I find them to be hypocritical. Specifically the organic crowd who have no idea what they are talking about most of the time. Non GMOs plants first off require more land and water to grow. They produce less food per acre, and aren't resistant against pests or severe weather causing food shortages. Sure those of us in first world countries don't care as we won't die from starvation. So we are lucky. You have to go out of your way to be a vegan and get your nutritional needs met. That means having out of season or fresh plants and products shipped across the world. We are so lucky we have access to a ton of different fruits and vegetables at any given moment... Let alone being able to afford such luxuries. Lastly dairy is amazing. Ounce for ounce milk is god tier nutritionally and packed with calories. There is a very good reason why the lactose gene spread so fast. It is sad it is demonized now and people who are earth warriors think that almond milk is somehow better. The water stress for almond milk is insane. Anyway one thing we need to do is be more efficient. I think focusing on not wasting food we do have should be a priority yet we are taking steps backwards since people feel all preservatives are freaken unhealthy. Or that one should only eat fresh fruits and veggies. It is madness.

  695. ​ @Cheka__ z Imagine portal 3 in VR. Being allowed to make tiny portals to stick your hands into. They need to make a Portal game in vein of Titan fall 2 and Dying Light movement. Since TF was based on source and I think old school bunny hopping which was amazing back in the early days of Counter Strike. Anyway do that and then use the mechanics of the movie Jumper. How they could use momentum of their jumps and drag things through as weapons. Have Titans in it just because fuck yeah - Titanfall was the only game to ever give me the feeling of scale when I got into one. So teleportation as a Pilot - climbing, able to gain speed and sliding of Dying Light 2 with the portal mechanics of Jumper. With the Titans and gadgets of TF2 and Half Life. (Also fighting aliens both small and large. Should be some Kaiju in there.) That game would fucking rock. If only I was a billionaire.

  697. Think we are replacing them with the JAGM. Which will replace most of the hellfire missiles which is great. Sandboxx (best military aviation channel) did a video on the change. Wonder if we will still use the hellfire with swords. Forgot the designation. Bat shlt crazy.

  698. If I were India I would equip them with the lightest armor that can protect against stabbing, and blows. Also give them oxygen tanks fir battle, with a generator at their base. Weapons? Either a ballastic shield plus a solid rod that is weighted at the end, but make it a thick spike. Or a quarter staff with the same thing to keep them at bay. Make it a blunt spike as well to break bones, but not impale. They'd be like knights basically. Make sure they are selected for their athleticism as well, and pay them well. That way next time a clash happens the Indians take what is theirs.

  699. Ground effect homie! They were the first to give it a serious go for sure. Quite honestly never understood why seaplanes never took off - HAR NO PUN INTENDED -. They can be large and can land on both land or sea. Anyway I want to see a massive quad tilt rotor and a massive sea plane. Great for logistics, and heavy duty lifting duties for the C-130 and not for direct attack of course. I am not sure how far off the water you have to be for ground effect to take. Rogue waves would be a danger. Don't want to be going 10 meters off the water when some wave decides to crest.

  700. Nuclear power plus TPV cells should be the future! MIT just made some TPV cells that are just as efficient as turbines with the benefits of no moving parts. I have no idea what the thermalphotovoltaic effiency actually means... Like how big of a panel would need to be required to capture the energy then? Same radius as the turbine or something? No one can ever answer me that.

  701. If I remember that one isn't the best. Sort of a smart marketing move. Seen a similar test, but they were able to test a bunch of stuff and some beat it. Also zero water always ranks worse in a blind taste test haha. Pure water is terrible. It isn't healthy either as water is suppose to have dissolved minerals in it. Like electrolytes! Fun fact. FDA says the pitchers aren't as safe as most tap water. Due to people not cleaning or sanitizing them after using them causing them to add in microbes! So follow the directions if you have crap tap and require it. Also this is dependent on where you live. In blind taste tests tap water actually bypasses a lot of bottled water! Read a story from this guy who said his house had the best tap water. Best water he ever tasted! Well finally he gets it tested and it turned out to have a high amount of lead and other heavy metals in it. Mostly lead though which is actually a known sweetener haha! I wonder how many hours that knocked off his life. Or made his IQ drop as he wasn't the brightest to come to think about it.

  702. I am confused as it is running out of water, and they limited how many ships go through it. So it obviously can run out of water. If it is only 75k then that makes little sense? Maybe they figure they can squeeze more overall if they fake water shortages. Makes little sense. I wonder if there is a way to make some electricity from the moving water or ships from somewhere on the locks.

  705. Agreed. We don't even know how to make life. Let alone life that can self replicate, AND survive any changes successfully. Who knows how long a singular life form kept forming, but couldn't reproduce. With that said I think simple life is definitely out there. Yet survival of the fittest as far as evolution pushing towards better and better organisms is a lie. Life is totally comfortable being simple, and reproducing successfully is good enough. In fact on Earth life was stagnant for a billion years. So it needs to start getting complex without getting wiped completely out. So the planet, and the the system needs to be stable for apparently a few billion years. It needs to have a metabolism that is better to create something intelligent. Like switching to oxygen. It literally takes life it seems to then take the stable planet, and produce enough chemicals into the atmosphere to support said complex organisms. Then that more complex, nd then intelligent life needs to not be so superior as to not wipe itsself out. I feel like I am missing points. Yet it is totally plausible we are the first intelligent life or that there are only a literal handful of intelligent organisms out there.

  706. Yeah. I am positive gas stations don't make money off of actually selling gas, but products. Follow their model at the very least. Although I think having it at a diner, fast food joint, Starbucks, or even a grocery store would be optimal. No one wants to sit in some random sketchy parking lot just chilling in their car, twiddling their thumbs or pretending to drive their effin Tesla for 30 minutes. Anywhere you can burn time for 30 minutes or so is best. Get creative. Don't know how people who are much smarter than me thought building JUST a charging station is smart. Welp something needs to be done. Biden, because he is smart. Just passed laws with all the other loonies to give subsidizes to more charging stations. Those incentives should help, because chargers are the only thing holding EVs back. Being a place with too few to no chargers I imagine sucks. Especially if you don't know if you have to wait in line. EVs are already superior in many ways. Can't wait for battery technology to get better. To bad wireless charging at scale isn't possible. Imagine being able to charge just by sitting at a stoplight. I seen electric buses that literally use super capicators to charge at their perspective stops. Was pretty cool. Had an automated connecter that popped up into the socket. Charged as people got on and off, and bam. Off it went. New advances in battery and capacitor tech are only going to make EVs better. Yet it will take work, and money to make such a drastic change seeing our entire civilization basically runs on fossil fuels. It will just take time, effort, and people will adjust or adapt.

  707. Okay I am halfway through, and I am not seeing any good reasons outside of cost. I do think trying to just give everyone some type of UBI would naturally increase it. Last thing we need is incentives for people to start pushing children they cannot take care of. Or are unwilling as they only see $$$. We will see how it works when some country pays for babies. Don't want to see the scandals. Curing age will fix the baby problem sooner or later.

  709. I don't know about that much better handling. I've seen the Valor hovering being pretty nimble. Thought the pilot was losing lift or some shit and was about to run it into the wing into the ground but he was just showcasing its manueverability. In a real combat situation your going to try to come in swiftly, load unload, and get out. It seemed like it could do it just as well and the transition didn't seem to take long. Defiant does have the smaller area to fit into small places, and easier weapon placement. Still curious as how the Valor will be armed. Just some side guns I suppose. Speed is life, and range is always good to have. 1

That is also what happens if you don't write your language and history down. That is stubbron foolishness. Learned men should know. Tsk tsk.

You would get arrested by the IRS for tax evasion or money laundering. Or whatever charges they'd try to tag ya with. So it would still be a pain. Me? I'd bury it till I could find a buyer. One who's in a country who doesn't care, but appreciates the value of the history on top of the worth of the treasure. Sell a few pieces at a time. Start an E scraping buisness. Throw in a few ancient gold coins in a day. Be like "Oh the gold? Well the old phones have a lot of gold in them. Adds up that is all!"

  716.  @MandoMonge  Pretty sure some of the workers make a lot more than what they can at home. One worker told me one time an American tipped him daily for something minor, and it was like getting a month salary each time. We are talking about 10/20$. Think he was from Thailand. Absolutely loved the job it seemed. So keep that all in mind. Not saying their are cruel practices and all that. There are places in the world where people can't get any job.

  717. They already are economically and environmentally viable. Most people don't need to drive 500 miles non stop daily. Studies already show after 30k miles EVs are better environmentally. Mining technology for rare earths will continue to improve. Places where rare earths were mined were never environmentally friendly anyway. Same type to dump unwanted oil componenets into the environment as well. EVs just can't replace things like long haul trucking. Yet, and that is changing as well. Drivers are only allowed to drive for so long. Yet if they continue to advance with batteries becoming lighter, more battery dense, easier to charge, and safer? It will be within five to ten years before we start seeing long haul. The cost are also dramatically decreasing. Will continue to decrease. They don't need as much maintenence, and charging at home is fractions of the cost. EVs are already superior in unusable performance. They don't need to be as light as an ICE. They don't need to be as energy dense either due to the superiority of the electric motor. When you compare performance cost as far as speed goes EVs aren't much more expensive than ICE. Battery chemistries have already been proven to work that give 750 kwh/kg. Max therotical max known battery technology is lithium air at 12,300 kwh/kg. That is nearly the same as kerosene! The difference between ICE and EVs is that gas is dead in the water as far as improvements. We've basically hit the therotical effiency we can get out of gas. While batteries have and will continue to improve. Solid state batteries just came out this year. If we could just start building graphite for cheaper we could increase the power by nearly 70%. Graphite manufacturing also had some break throughs recently. Anyway we built our whole civilization off fossil fuels. Going to take a bit to change. It won't be a 1:1 change either. It is a different technology, and so there will be changes into how you have to use it.

  718. ​ @centauri8820 Yo, that was a monolog. No need to rant. Don't #hitatme with your liberal lies. EVs are a non starter! Can you drive 1,000 miles non stop? Or go 200mph on the streets in them? Don't think so! No seriously jokes aside. I don't understand how someone can say the performance, or economic viability isn't there when there are millions already on the road with them also taking market share incredibly fast. (Also, studies already say they are better environmentally after 30k miles give or take.) Also, just the rate of improvement, and theortical improvement alone is staggering. If we continue this trend? Cheaper, easier to charge, lighter, more energy dense batteries year after year we will be seeing even long haul trucks take advantage of battery tech in the next five years. If you compare EVs to ICE of the same performance? They aren't that much more expensive. Right now costs and infrastructure are about the only bottle necks I think the guy above, and others like him are either stuck to how EVs performed 10 years ago. Or if they lived back then, they would have fought gasoline over steam combustion. Adverse to change. "Gah! Gasoline?! Gas stations aren't everywhere! With my trusty Steam engine car? All I need is wood, and I'm surrounded by it! Spark plugs are electronic and unreliable compared to my mechanical steam regulator!"

Something real simple like oh yeah how light is effected by different areas of gravity, and space time. I know what you mean though.

  720. They still don't touch milk. Especially fortified milk with extra protein. Lactaid protein is amazing for me. I've tried replacing it with others but nothing matches.

  722. ​ @ColtonRDean  Yeah. Hydrogen for planes and ships EV. NOT FOR CARS. Hydrogen for rigid airships! Not. For. Cars. Hydrogen combustion engines is just a ridiculous idea. As batteries and super capacitators continue to develop as fast as they have? No reason for hydrogen at all. Doesn't make a lick of sense from any point of view outside space maybe. I guess having a sub or underwater structure that could essentially create its own fuel would be cool. Not that I'm against nuclear.

  724. Should've asked the US! We stockpile various dairy products. For example we had 282 million pounds of butter stocked up in various places in 2022. Down 22% too from the previous year! Uncle Sam is also cheesy in more ways than one. He also keeps around 1.5 billions of various cheeses... No idea where. Wisconsin would be my pick. We also have a bunch of egg farms we keep running, but mainly for vaccines. Not sure where the unused eggs go. These are less about security, and more about keeping farmers farming. The farming lobby in the US is ridiculous. Farmers man. Always saying they are overlooked, say big government sucks, but don't mind pocketing all the handouts they receive Half our corn is used for Ethanol when it is bad for cars, and said to be worse for the environment!

  727. I've been in multiple types of flow state. I've had things like close to dying, fights, and football where time seemed to slow down. Music when I'm flowing with the instruments going into flows and rhythms seemsly melding with the guitar. Generally alone, but I did it with a few others a few times. I bet it happens more once you mastered an instrument Then also having passionate sex with other where we are both flowing. That is with others. Then of course drugs. How would a flow state with others occur, if all she said was true. I don't know about you all, but when I am in the moment I think clearer, see details, and my perception of time slows down. I am alive when it happens. Yet I am still acutely aware that I am myself interacting. I've seen theories say the opposite of this video. That we do have free will via quantum mechanics. Even other unrelated theories saying our brains do use quantum mechanics for free thought. This can be the reason why we can feel linked due to quantum entanglement. I don't think we are deterministic. Even if we do have very real instincts, natural reactions, and subconscious thought.

  732. Still sober? I went to quit drinking alcohol after just 4 years of heavy drinking. I literally didn't drink much before that but when I went in to detox I was told to go to the ER. I was admitted and told I had end stage cirhossis. A bunch of complications made me in end up being in the hospital like 8 months out of the year. Kept getting SBP and Hepatic Encepolpathy anytime I was sent home. Well I quit in May but by September I had a bad HE attack and blinked in the ER just to wake up with tubes in every orifice including my throat, and like 6 IVs. It was a nightmare! I was induced into a coma for three days. Two weeks later I go home and then I'm back back in within two days. My kidneys finally had enough and made a suicide pact together. Now I'm dialysis and trying to get on the transplant list which is a huge process. It is insane! Anyway stop drinking. Don't think you're one of those people who can drink 30 beers a day for two decades. I'll be dead within two years or could die tomorrow. Right now I'm the best I have been though but last year I was a corpse and lost all my muscle mass. My body cannibalized ifs self - I weighed 85 pounds and needed help with everything. I weigh 102 pounds today and need to gain more weight probably for a transplant. Anyway please take care of yourselves. Hope everyone is doing well.

  733.  @LegateMalpais  Buttons are more efficent, and faster than having to go through menus, period. Buttons can have haptic feedback. You know if you're touching the right one without looking. I have also seen touch screens lag, and a myriad of videos of them bugging out or freezing. Also some just have terrible UI. So your comparison is as lame as a Teslas interior. Touch Screens only have an advantage when the task is more complex like adjusting the ACs air flow to a special direction or something. Good for cameras, and other things. Yet for many basic tasks that you use often while driving. Buttons are superior. So you might like your cheap cost saving measure that looks as empty as your soul. I don't. Outside of that god awful trend of a minimalist design. EVs are great.

Which is sort of insane to me, because I thought that pre-production snazz was one of the reasons why the F-35 was so expensive! Anyway that is the new Airforce... Do not get me wrong. There are black operation aircraft in the works. Like the SR-71 line of successors like the SR-72, and Auroa. Sandboxx dropped a video on the 72. Our new secret airplane will be a hypersonic one I think, hybrid SCRAM jets, and the rotating detonation engines.

  745. Desalination is energy hungry no matter what. Pairing it with district heating and cooling isn't a bad idea either. I just learned about district heating yesterday and this building has an incinerator plant. It uses the heat from burning the garbage to make electricity and then sends the water to heat and cool the entire building and a ton of other places. Kind of kill two birds with one stone. Cooling is especially energy hungry and makes a lot of our yearly emissions. Having a power, desalination plant that also can cool would be awesome due to economy of scale. Obviously the infrastructure would be expensive.

Those fins failing like that along with the hardware failures wasn't planned, and shouldn't have happened. Starship is supposed to be reusable. Sort of hard to be reusable when half your ship is incinerated, and important parts being vaporized made it nearly a critical failure. I think Musk like usual is pulling your legs. He didn't mention the flaps and hardware would probably do that. Now with all that said. It is quite amazing that with everything literally failing the thing still did a soft touch. The team behind the software flying these things is second to none. I can't even imagine the impact on aerodynamics with it disintegrating. Hopefully 5 will be much better.

  750. He is pretty unbiased for a car enthusiast. Most hate EVs for all sorts of reasons, and will jump on any flaw while completely ignoring the advantages. Like talking about range always like charging at home for pennies on the dollar isn't convienent. They all act like they have to drive more than four hours a day without breaks. I think EVs are good now for 70% of the population, and will only get better. Solid state batteries are coming out which I hear are not only better in energy density, and for longetivity. Me? I like them due to superior practical speed, balanced low center of gravity, and the fact they are silent.

  753. What I laugh about modern days views of colonism is that generally Europeans just played the social systems that were already in place. Usually going to the nobles of some place, and offering riches. Which the elite then used to prosper from, at the expense of their fellow peoples. That part always gets overlooked in modern discourse. Just boils down to Europeans bad. Yet when you look many cultures already had messed up systems in place! Only difference became people getting ruled by rich merchants or by kings, chiefs, etc etc. Not to say colonist did messed up things. Only pointing out many peoples did not live in some fair utopia. Many already had slavery in place too. Anyway Indonesians. Look at how China treats its own Muslims the Yhugirs. It is basically illegal to be Muslim in China.

  754. Both by weak forces no less. Imagine a conflict of WWIII. Even Russia hasn't fully mobilized yet. The future is scary. We will be seeing a future where a drone swarm of a thousand tiny drones carrying weapons flying like bats. Being able to navigate into towns, and buildings. Fly sporadically. Drop off their munitions. Go back to a wireless charger to power up, and get reloaded with more weapons. Then go back out to clear a sector. These drones will also be one time use. Abls to be shot by artillery, and bombers. Even EMP weapons were real. Things can just be hardened against them. Future War is going to suck even worse..

  755. It is a shame we can't all get along. Hate geopolitics. YT also loves to demonitized videos when it comes to talking about China (and of course Taiwan). Even if the video isn't pure bias and touches lightly on facts. I do think many countries need to get their behinds in gear though to be self sufficient. Globalization is a blessing but also can be a curse. Look at Russia who we come to realize can't make many parts for their weapons and source components from specialized western companies with shell companies and such. The amount of western tech found in the Ukraine is quite outstanding from what I'm told.

  756. Also let us not forget the USAF has the b21s. I like the concept of missile boats. Having a huge stealth aircraft with huge sensors, linking with recon drones, and carrying either a ton of missiles, or more likely huge ones that can out range the enemies. That is a super dangerous combo.

  757. ​ @bOOmbOOmProd It wasn't a publicity stunt for going green. Going electric has huge benefits when it comes to savings in fuel, and regular maintenance. Now personally I think Rivian and other car makers need to catch up on the manufacturing side. Tesla is murdering it with profit on their cars from what I've read. I'm surprised Tesla hasn't tried the smaller delivery trucks. Or even construction trucks. So Rivian should focus on that. No one is excited about Rivian vehicles in my mind. They are generic as hell. They need to generate excitement for their brand. Same with Lucid which creates amazing cars, but eh. No personality.

  758. Same with Osprey versus the Blackhawk. The media and politicians used the Osprey for their own gains, and the stigma of tilt rotor aircraft being super risky bleeds over 5o the V-280 even though the fucking thing can fly, loiter, land, and patrol without any human assistance and has multiple redundancy built into it. To be fair though the Osprey crashing fully loaded with people is terrible due to how much it can carry. Multiple hornets have crashed over the years and I didn't even hear about it till a month ago.

  760. Same. It really was a treat. I actually buy the pizza ones that are just pizza. No juice box of anything. You see I'm dying without a kidney and liver transplant, and somehow they are one of the few things I can handle. So I was having one every morning after an apple. Is it ideal? No. Is it better then nothing? Yes. I was an 80 pound 5' 6 male last year written off as dead. It wasn't till May before I could really eat anything without puking. Then came May, after realizing dialysis was not factoring in my ascites fluid, and they were dehydrating me so badly that I could not eat? I started getting better. They just gave me new medication that seems to be working on appetite. However I only got it a day before they pulled a bunch of teeth that "May be at risk of infection in the next five years"! Like geez thanks guys, I am hungry, but can't eat anything I like!

  761. ​ @bikesqump Exactly. Drivers are legally allowed to drive for X hours anyway. What is it... 11 hours before rest is needed? So once EVs have enough range to drive that far they can rest, and charge. This is the first generation. I'm not sure what jobs these are perfect for, but I'm sure there are many. The savings in how much each mile cost will add up quickly. Batteries are getting significantly better every year. So many break throughs have happened, and waiting for them to be scaled. They hold more charge, last longer, getting lighter, and don't forget charge faster. The ICE sadly is not getting better. Some people hate EVs solely because of they think only hippies or some crap like them. Hell... Some still think solar and wind is more expensive! It is ridiculous.

  762. Can someone explain this to me? I'm out of the loop and the comment is two months old. We need to work on our missile and drone technology, and I know 6th gen is coming up. I wonder if we have stealth missiles yet. The F 35 for sure is underrated, because the senors are the main part. I'm sure we will see in 40 years since the line keeps moving.

  763. Honestly if we can make something similar for cheaper? Why not. I am sick of people thinking all natural or orgsnic is inherently better. In the case of honey it is though hah, but just saying this mentality that man-made is the root of all evil needs to stop. It isn't a big deal if someone gets artifical honey. I do wonder on the medical effects though. That is where my only issue would lay. People buying "honey", thinking they will get the insane benefits natural honey has. Like someone else said. We have 8 billion to feed. Sadly bees are dying, and there will never be enough honestly.

  764. One thing for the larger container ships is... Wind power! They've had systems that could save like 20-30% in fuel. It is basically a giant parasail they can deploy once out at sea and can control it via a super strong tether that unwinds from a winch. I am pretty sure it has been proven to work. Not sure what the hold up is to be honest as it doesn't take that much space and makes up for it with less cost! Anyway I am a firm believer that hydrogen doesn't make sense for cars especially as batteries improve. For aircraft and shipping? Absolutely. There was this new hydrogen generator that creates it from salt water which could be fit on ships to create some of their own fuel using solar and wind. This was theoretical though.

  767. So I learned that armies uses a chart or something that reminds me of a spread sheet. Kind of blew me away.

  770. I don't know. Space your open to weapons... Low flying at extreme speeds using the curvature of the earth to strike might be a better option. Either way there will definitely be military space aircraft. I foresee cheap swarms that fly like bats. I'm not fond of the kamikaze personally but that seems to be an other thing. One thing we haven't seen in Ukraine is the use of devastating weapons like the CBU 97. Could you imagine the devastation just a handful of those things could have caused in the beginning of the war? It would have been a blood bath and make a squadron of A 10s seem obsolete (which they pretty much are).
    3
  771. So you get this fantastic recoil system everyone seems to love. Then you chamber it in what? 5.45? Should have made the round bigger. Then it would be a truly game changing weapon since you can be more accurate with a larger round. Feeling less recoil in a full powered cartridge would be amazing. With that said it seems like an amazing job. Suprised it hasn't been copied or sold more.

  772. ​​@Fredbats Racially we are all similar. There might be slight differences medically or biologically between races, but culture is what separates humans the most. Even in the same country. I was told when I was eleven by an older original gangster. He said, "there is a difference between a black man, and a (I will let you finish that sentence in your head. ) or a white man, and white trash." At first I disagreed as I was young, naive, and saw the world in white and black. Then I got older, and realized he was right. Especially since people seem to try very hard to keep stereotypes alive! I don't think what he said was racist anymore. Onto your point. You're right, but I think naturally humans are tribalistic. That civilization has evolved faster than human instinct, and it is natural for us all to find a "tribe". We have just replaced tribes with other types of organization, that is all. Well for the most part as tribes or clans are still very much a thing. What is a nation, but a large tribe? Simon is crazy if he thinks those attacks didn't have race involved. The severity says otherwise. It is like a white nerd walking through the ghetto getting robbed. Sure, they wanted his valuables, but the second he walked into the place he became a target due to his race. If the situation was reversed I don't think Simon would argue that all the attacks would have happened regardless with the severity of some. I also think South Africa is corrupt, and has the benefit of playing down racism to the world. Yet I will believe ex patriots who talk about the countries racism that continues on. Lemme say this about your point as well. One of the only ways humans will unite together, and put away their tribal instinct is it aliens invade the Earth. That instantly would unite most of humanity as far as hatred goes.

  776.  @jimpark8379  That is true but American companies are pretty uhhh open. They would sure sell their effin souls to make a buck for the shareholders. I mean it wouldn't make sense for any company to work with some other company when it doesn't benefit themselves in some way. I was using Isreal and Australia as an example of working with companies while also maintaining their own manufacturing. It benefits all involved opposed to just purchasing manufacturing rights or just buying items... Why? Geopolitics change on a dime! It is good to have your own scientist and engineers while supporting the towns local businesses as well. People do forget a lot of the money that goes into the defense industry and military is recycled back into the economy. (Still need to crack down on corruption and get rid of the monopolies while increase auditors to 1980 levels.)

  777.  @daniel11111  You're talking about two different things. Military spending definitely has a lot of benefits. Creates high paying jobs, security, protects global US and allied interests, and more importantly a lot of the technology gets kick backed into modern life. In a perfect world we would do both but for whatever reason the US is garbage at large scale infrastructure projects especially when it starts crossing state lines. I blame politics personally. Our government has some serious flaws. It is slow to move and we can't just bulldoze houses and kick people out to create them either.

I don't get those happy go lucky seizures anymore at least. Just oh shit keep awake don't sleep .. Was brought to the ER as I felt an attack coming on and walked out to the ambulance. While waiting in the hospital I closed my eyes and opened them on a ventilator and seven people around me all hooked up. Couldn't breath or scream. Fucking it was a waking nightmare.

  781. That would be amazing. If it works like stated then they should slap it on for self defense on every warship. I feel like CIWIS 20mm isn't enough and those are direct kinetic kills. A 76mm would allow further engagement range and could carry tungsten flak with a computer programing the rounds to fire as they leave the barrel like the Skynext system. (Think that is the one. Seen one take out a drone swarm in a single burst.) Don't know why the US doesn't use flak. No one has ever stated why but if a hypersonic missile is coming at you surely even small tungsten pellets would wreck the missile. The velocities involved would be enormous, and its a lot easier to hit something with a flak wall then it is with kinetic kills. The CIWIS has no margin for error.

  784.  @Psych1_-  Yes we thought globalization was the answer. Peace never lasts it seems. The way the military industrial complex sort of merged into a few giant companies is also a huge issue. They are straight up price gouging tax payers. America cannot compete 1:1 against China. They have the resources mostly, and a much bigger population that is educated. They get more bang for the buck too as far as spending goes. Luckily America for the moment has a lot of allies. So we aren't alone. Yet if we don't do our best we will lose.

Systems like this will never be used for truly large scale. Great for decentralized locations and for towns and such in remote places. Yet for manufacturing and agriculture? No way these will ever relieve even 20% of the burden.

  789. It is stupid expensive. That's my only complaint. I realize what its duty as a very capable HEAVY lifter all around for both ground and air. Can carry an arse load of ordnance at high speed and can wipe all fourth gen out. Yet seriously the AF has 1,600 fighters and they just asked congress for 800ish more says SandBoxx. We have the B 21. The NGAF. A variety of drones coming up. It just seems unnecessary to me with literally thousands of fighters that are still good and the F 35 is still way behind on orders and getting nearly a total overhaul in the next coming years with Block 4 and Tech Refresh 3! Would have liked a new A-10 since the Army aren't allowed to build their own. Cheap to fly, built like a horse, rugged both mechanically and armored with many redundancies and can take off and land at a crap short run way. Long loiter, speed, time along with an assload of ordnance that it can chuck further than the A-10 to quickly strike, disengage for MANPADs, come back for an other run. (Put a 105mm on it with a badass fire control system to rain hell from a distance! Haha JP. We can dream boys.) I am a layman obviously. Heard the AF wanted the funds for other programs but politics came into place and forced them to get the EX. **With that said it looks like an amazing aircraft but the cost per unit is just insane.** Is it worth it? Time will tell! Personally I would have waited for the NGAF but understand that tensions are rising quickly and China is catching up.

  790. I can hear a sound. I think it is electricity. Sort of like a high energy buzzing or ringing noise. It isn't tetanus as it isn't all the time. I can't stand it. Yet it has to be really quiet for me to hear it. It is one of the reasons why I like having a fan or other ambient noises. I had a coworker listen for it, and eventually he picked it up. A month later he came in tired as hell, and yelled at me saying now that he hears it he can't unhear it.

Well except for the bombers... I don't think we keep them loaded up and flying like we use to so it would take time for them to scramble, but there was a time when B-52s were always in the air armed to nuke key places in Russia. I do know where speeding up to store upgraded nukes in Europe.

  801. Agreed. No one ever does. So ignorant people only see the bad side of EVs without comparing it to the woes of drilling, and refining gas. Gas refining has a slew of chemicals used. Franking can be terrible if done wrong for instance. ICE need a lot of actual rare metals. With that said we just have to be better at extracting anything. All the easy stuff is gone. We have to be more and more evasive to get our ever expanding needs. Best thing about EVs though is most can be recycled. It isn't burnt up. The gas we do use for power is used more efficiently.

  802. Wow it can convert to a Bulpup too? Personally I find Bullpups easier to csrey, aim, and fire accurately. All the weight is closer to the shoulder. The trigger pull doesn't feel as good, but I can get use to that. Since I wasn't raised and had to hunt to live on the m4 platform like so many people seem to have been since any change is inconceivable - the reload or other quirks don't bother me as much.

  803. ​ @Atourq 144mm are massive too! Curious how they expect to fit enough ammo while retaining safety. We seen what ammo racks do in Ukraine. Blow out panels don't help with fire.

  804. Food is essential. It's why the military spends so much trying to improve it. Hard to make something that lasts forever, good through tempature extremes, safe to eat in all forms, and high in calories, carbs, protein, and fat all while being edible. I hear some MREs are pretty damn good. Anyway giving troops good food is always important. Submariners I guess have the best food overall due to the job.

I kinda wish he did a deep dive on why it is such a large discrepancy since the Soviets were not usually that far behind when they put their resources to it. Truly wild.

Aircraft though are crazy intensive though. You'd think we could design robots or tools that either did it themselves or severely cut the time. I still see videos of guys with just regular garage gear.

  808. At first I thought it would be like a capacitor with density. It isn't. Could've been good for buses. Charging at stops as it goes. Yet charging fast kills the battery. Salients battery makes no sense. It is only 30% cheaper at 1/4th the density. So wouldn't just buying less lithium ion be cheaper? Makes no sense why people would go for the salient...

  809. They already are planning on making cheap systems with the new drone program. Replicator it is called. Anyway an other thing is we spend more on our troops. We pay our soldiers more than any other. I do think the politicians need to crack down on price gouging. A stinger should be effin cheaper now with advances in technology for example. Also, buying from our allies. America ship builders have failed us. While SK can knock out ships faster than any other. We should buy from them instead of artificially inflating crap ship builders who only exsist due to laws. Also start supporting smaller firms. They would give us the best bang for our buck if we could actually use them, and America still has the smartest people in the world moving here. Use them.

  813. I'm actually surprised how small those numbers are. 8 billion and losing one third that is bad, but I thought it would be closer to 20, and losing half or something. China if they play their cards right they could jump ahead of other countries. Shout out to South Korea on some of their systems. Same with Sweden. Yet I don't know how strict these countries are which is one thing Russia was pretty good at as far as I could tell. They seemed to sell to anyone so I'm curious who will take that place.

  814.  @alek9195  I mean most countries print money including Russia and China. In fact China specifically relies on control of their money for their encomy. Dollar is at least a free floating currency. So if the US wants to retain it as the dominate currency (which is why we went to war with Iraq) it can't just print it like how they think without major repercussions. Still all I'm saying is Russia only exporting 8 billion is extremely low to me. The freaken arms industry is huge ya know? 19 billion sounds right to me. Fun fact when you add in cost parody to military spending? Many countries come close to the US in it! Including Russia. I'm not sure what the statistics were, let alone how accurate it, but it really showed how bad the corruption really was for Russia.

  815. Now they just need jet packs. Not that stupid jetpack militaries are testing now to jump ships. 😢 I'm actually one of the few who thinks the Chinese Gyrocopters aren't a stupid idea. I mean imagine 100 soldiers coming at your trench, unleashing hell, then dismounting . Marines also need a small electric tankette. Two manned with Xbox controls for driving with an automated turret that carries a 30 caliber with two Javelins. Electric for stealth. Size of the Weasel. Only rated for machine gun fire. Oh and great optics. I say this, because I was told in wargames the Weasel would give people hell with run and gun tactics plus recon. Imagine a pack of them just appearing, and attacking a KM out, unleashing a few missiles, and some fire. Then getting out of there.

  816. I always knew they were sketchy. One issue that I guess might be true? I have read there is a backlash with Solar at the moment for those who use regular power. I'm NOT an economist, but long story short solar is driving up the prices of regular power. Basically they are saying conventional owners are subsidizing solar in their areas. If true that I can see being a real issue. Not really sure why as logically to me less demand shouldn't drive up prices.

  817. Don't even gotta get that small to feel it. I have double organ failure, and dropped below 70 pounds in 2022. I definitely get colder way way easier than I use to. Now I'm 100 pounds and constantly wearing 3 layers of clothes when I head out in 50 degree weather. When I look around at my dialysis clinic. Much more of the skinnier people need blankets, and complain about the cold. Now a part of that is due to the fact a half a liter of blood getting taken out for circulation so the machine works is a bigger factor for a smaller person. Yet overall larger people just handle the tempature better.

  820. Beautiful aircraft and people always think I'm lying when I tell them they were the fastest US military helicopter. Stealth helicopters are sort of a joke from what I understand and been told from those much wiser than I on the subject. (Aerospace engineer). One day I want to see a super quiet helicopter. If those whacky drones are a success maybe it can be translated onto a helicopter one day. Comanche was 40% quieter than a Blackhawk but that's still really freaken loud and you give up so much. Not sure how well a stealth helicopter could perform against being targeted though. I did see a concept for a stealth gyrocopter which I thought was neat and looked like it would be a blast to fly! It could give enough power for a slow decent but couldn't really lift anything when taking off. I always wondered why the US military never went the C-130 route

  823. Yeah millimeter wave drilling which allows them to grab energy by shooting water down where the earth makes it super critical. I am for nuclear, but as long as remewables become cheaper and cheaper it doesn't stand a chance. Solar has pervoskites coming in which will make them significantly cheaper. People love to ask where the energy will come from. The current grid cannot handle it. What they dont get is energy demand was actually declining for like seven years till covid hit. Power companies had no need to invest. Now they do. The power grid is also getting newer technologies that should make things cheaper. I am pretty sure some components for the grid had a monopoly so hopefully that changes.

  824. Cost of graphene was never there when you had cheaper work arounds by just packing more transistors or other methods to get similar end goals. I think physics has forced our hands, and that altneratives are required if we want to see improvement. Whether it competes with other tech is the biggest question. Not to mention graphene research and production has improved. We actually HAVE been using graphene in applications. From metal urgy to cement production. Lots of different things! Just need to get pure graphene to be cheaper is all!

  826. It is the tooling and machines they'd need. Not the blue prints persay... There is a difference! Also didn't the west send old outdated tanks anyway? I don't even think the Abraham's had its depleted uranium armor. At least I remember the politicians fighting whether we should remove it before sending it. Which is why it took so long if memory serves. My guess is the engine issues never were ironed out. It is incredibly hard to make presicion parts.

  828. Pre-fab shipping containers is where is at. Ones made at scale that are then sent on scale. Not sure how high you can stack them. Yet two being an apartment sounds totally reasonable. Can at least have it two stories, maybe three? He really didn't get into it. Living room, and kitchen downstairs. Bedroom, and bathroom upstairs. Just since sleeping upstairs feels safer to me, but it could also be sideways. Buying your own, and customizing it? Feel like at that point other methods are just better. Or getting one, and having it as a guest house. I guess there is the entire recycling part. Yet it isn't like they are wind turbine blades. They are fully recyclable already. So the biggest issue in my mind is insulation. Can't be that good.

  829. Honestly I would love break downs on important manufacturers and why we need them. I don't believe people don't understand how important it is to keep a manufcaturing base alive and once it is gone it is very difficult to get back up. Sort of like the relationships with ASLM who needs Carl Guiess - German company who makes the insane mirrors - Cymer an American company who makes the light, and of course TSCM who finally creates the chips used by the machines ASLM makes. You should do a breakdown of the supply chain necessary for something like the F 35!

  830. Should've gone to GD. Then again I'm not someone who has trained for decades on a m4 but Bullpups feel better for me to aim and hold as the weight is closer to the shoulder and I'm not shooting past 500m. The reloading is a bit slower but not as horrible as some people make it out to be. I guess the trigger pull is valid. Not sure about the ammon at all. A lot of people straight hate the caliber if seems no matter how it is packaged. I think having a gun be shorter or have a longer barrel of same length makes up for the negatives.

  831. Wouldn't that effect the cattle market? A lot of animals depend on corn byproduct that humans can't eat. Something like 85% of cattle feed is byproducts. One thing many vegans love to overlook. Anyway for sure we need a better solution. Wasnt algae and phytoplankton also looked at?

  832. ​ @rowtheskol Wind is also susceptible to extreme weather events... Also unlike oil you cannot just turn on more generators. The power crisis in Texas had a lot of errors that just hit all at once. Practical Engineering has a great run down on what was happening! I definitely recommend it all. Was a hell a lot more interesting than I thought with all the cascading failures and shortfalls of the entire system.

  833. Wait I this THE loyal wingman that the USAF keeps talking aboutm It is slow. I don't see how this will be a loyal wingman if it can't keep up with other strike fighters. So I'm curious as how it will be used. Probably just like other drones but with the capability of being controlled by F 35 and the new sixth generation. Maybe SEAD since it seems to be expendable.
    2
  834. Yeah this and the coconut guy really strike me. It is in insane that even with precautions taken that what seemingly seems like something insignificant becomes lethal. Then you have people consuming tide pods and other stuff for challenges or pranks and live.

  835.  @responding8185  I've lived in both rural and black communities. Shut up. You sound like some sheltered kid. There would be a hell of a lot more killings. Act like all cops are racist and some of the shootings are just because of it. Go look up crime rates where most black people live, and then count up the death rates based on race.
    2
  836. Yeah I disagree with the videos premise. First. It is flying. It will always be niche for the foreseeable future. Second. All they gotta do is be cheaper to fly and maintain. A 3 hour flight with an hour charge time or something would work for A LOT of people. It is meant for quick short regional trips. Maybe once axial flux, and solid state batteries come. 500 wh/kg batteries will be good enough. Personally I would like to see a Hybrid with airplane designed axial flux motors or other similar types. Dropping complicated mechanical transmission allows for easier VTOL due to til rotors. Id like to see a flying body design too. Anyway I think it is totally possible and in the next ten years.
    2
  837. I want to see them offroad. I think I would prefer the Hummer. Maybe. Hate the minimalist interiors of Tesla. Give me buttons FFS for standard controls. That is all I'm asking. No need for weird designs for the sake of being different. That crab walk is also amazing. Can't believe Tesla didn't include it. Yet I do like the Cyber Trucks size, and looks.
    2
  838. I don't get this over other designs with a single rotary valve that does both intake, and exhaust. Valtec or something like that out of North Carolina is trying to make one happen. I'm all for EVs. Yet I do love engines too. Let us hope they succeed amongst the other "revolutionary" engines that pop up. Stupid seals. Hopefully one day we can get some type of seal that works in the depths of hell to the middle of a neutron star.

  841. How efficent are modern thermonuclear (?) weapons? The first bomb dropped only used .007 milligrams for the reaction. It was ridiculously inefficient. Quite insane how destructive it still was.

  842. LoL no conspiracy. Don't imagine unicorns when hearing hooves, but think horses. Do not be one of those fools. We have enough fools in the country. Clearly from this. "Never attribute malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity". Hanlons Razor. The Secret Service and LE was simply inept, inadequate, and just... Terrible. I do find it funny that they think the director should be scouting every place that a former POTUS will go.

  843.  @HighFlyer6969  The way you worded your sentence was like sonic booms are against the convention like it is killing people. Your reply is exactly what I already said with the injuries. Read better. You're the one that replied an answer and I couldn't find it on how or why we don't use sonic booms. I asked for information and not speculation from a random YT.

  844. ​ @adamesd3699 The question is... Maybe the resources on building the AA guns might have been better reserved for building more aircraft. Yet the morale boost for everyone cannot be underestimated. More importantly the morale for those who have to fly through a flak cloud is just as important. Sort of like the A 10... I love the damn thing, but it is over rated. I don't really think it was that effective from a technical point of view. Yet from an emotional stance? That thing demoralized the enemy, while giving allies a huge boost in moral. Since it flew low people could see it, and that mattered. Whether the F 16 could do the same thing yet better does not matter, because F 16s don't have that sort of moral impact since they'll kill the enemy from 16,000 feet or whatever it is.
    2
  845. Yeah. NATO sent too little too late and Russia had all the time in the world to make massive defensive fortifications to make up for their weaknesses. With this and the fact that Ukraine will never have any sort of Air superiority? Makes this war very very dangerous to some massive spear head push. Russia still has thousands of S 300 and 400 missiles. Russia still has a large AF capable of striking Ukraine ground forces. While Ukraine will never have the aircraft or men to break through with strength. I think Ukraine is doing well enough right now. I just don't see any major thunder run happening this time around though... Unless they striked through Russia and went around the lines which I would find hilarious.
    2
  846. Especially FISH which is well known to be stupid dangerous even slightly bad. Salmonella is the least of your worries. When working with fish at a restaurant my bosses always said don't risk it even if you're not positive. Not worth it. . ! Some of these stories are insane on the persons part. The guy with the coconut milk story is on an other level though. He did an honest mistake and everything right. He didn't continue to drink it and washed his mouth ASAP.
    2
  847. Yeah that is a good point, and there is no way around it. Price is arbitrary. Some cheaper wines are actually made with quality as well. Business Insider black bald guy does a decent job of comparing two wines to say what one is cheaper.

  848. People or "we" make those organizations. We are the ones that drive em, and either vote with our wallets or paper. Our individual choices add up. People always put the blame on everyone else, acting like their shyte don't stink Act like "it isn't me, but them! I have no impact." When they do, no matter how little. Collectively that mind set is what will doom us. Most of all no one can be bothered to actually TRY to change it. We don't even band together to correct what 80% of us agree on. That is an issue. Anyway happy new year everyone.
    2
  849. Yeah . Do HARM missiles also target EW weapons? Would help taking out some of Russias EW capabilities since they have been successfull against our GPS guided munitions.
    2
  850. Would be dead. Good that someone saw him. Can't sleep upside down.
    2
  851. Yeah I don't know why anyone expected Ukraine to not attack Russia. I get the thinking. Russia actually hasn't fully mobilized for total war. They have a huge man power advantage. Yet Ukraine should be able to do whatever the fuck it wants. Only weak countries don't have borders. America wouldn't sit there, and send divisions at highly fortified lines just to get pinned down by mines, artillery, helicopters and drones. So why expect Ukraine. I actually said during the counter offensive that they should have taken a page out of Desert Storms play book. Go up and around the lines, and then back down to reconnect. I was told that would never work. Well I think it would have worked similar to this. Definitely a lot better than what they actually did last year.

  854.  @XtreeM_FaiL  Grease is actually the most under rated damn thing in the world. It is insane how many things we rely on that use it. We go through mountians of grease! I remember learning that from Modern Marvels back when HC was actually about learning. Not that "History, every day!" Reality BS. I was like 12. Never knew nor thought about it. Especially seeing how many Dr's a carrier goes through. Anyway good point. Grease > Ball Bearings > Axel. Axels are infinitely better with bearings. I wonder who was the first to do it.
    2
  855.  @Fitz1993  Sure... For a loom or toys!! Any axel worth a damn for anything of size has bearings (and as someone else said. Grease! Grease is probably even more important. ) Just an axel sucks. Bearings provide driving torque, and help support everything as well. Planetary Gears are also dope. I guess they were a massive deal for Monster Trucks in the early 80s. Allowed them to get bigger, without needing a bigger axel! How the hell they don't cut effiency significantly is beyond me. Yet wheels within wheels within wheels Maaaan! What is next. A propeller with propellers on each end?! Jokes aside. I need to now look up the history of when we started using ball bearings on axels.

  856.  @puraLusa  The Europeans really did do a crap job, especially upon leaving. Still no excuse for multigenerational bloodshed. "Like hey, alright fellas - the imaginary lines kind of suck, but it is time to stop blaming white men for your problems. It has been 40 to 100 years. Put down the AK, and pick up the hammer or wait. Don't hit your neighbor with the hammer!" Like I'm not fully white, and it is aggravating me to see other races use an other as a scape goat as they are now the perpetrators of their own issues, and nothing will change unless people stand forward. Sorry for the rant. Anyway back on the topic. What works for one culture cannot be shoehorned into an other. There are too many variables. I think it is best for each nation to look at others for inspiration for what they want to achieve, and then make their own unique plan to facilitate it. An other rant. Speaking of Africa. South Africa going to the dumpster fire really depresses me as they were supposed to become THEE developed country for Africa, and what countries there can achieve.

  859. To be fair to you. That was such a random statement. People say stupid things or believe in stupid misinformation. I don't hang people for saying stupid things every now and then, or make poor jokes. That really isn't the first though, and he has been a terrible person, and so are you. You should have known better, kept up on everything Elon, and listened to your wife. She should run away, because you got red flags buddy! Just playing. No, like I said. One off comment means nothing. How the hell would you know how bad he actually is? Love how he acts like beacon of social abilities and morals. It is like dude - you have autism. Shut up. You got problems reading people and interacting in an appropriate matter. He is a 53 year old edge lord. Mark Cuban I think read him right in an interview today. Musks ego has gone to his head, and he wants power. He cant be POTUS thankfully.

  860.  @Shako_Lamb  Hold up. Victorian Era houses suck in my unpopular opinion. Unless they were kept up by the sort of wealthy of people who cared, and spent money keeping up. I hated those old homes made for normies, and continue to hate those 100 year old houses. Include ugly red brick neighborhoods too. People putting love, care, time and money into their home will obviously make the surviving ones better. I don't see how that isn't survivorship bias when we don't know how the future will look on some houses made today. Or what will survive. Like screw the home I am in now. Would cost a fortune to update it. Hard to get someone to even work on the steam boiler. I think the biggest problem is people are buying into neighborhoods with cookie cutter houses. Then comparing to again, the houses people kept up on that they cherished. Ones that probably weren't made from a developer. I mean I don't see the shacks from the era. Got houses with like 6 foot ceilings. Poor electrical everything. Weird plumbing. (Nice stoves though!) Then the rich houses on the other hand sort of feel similar to me.
    2
  861. Hold up. What we should be asking is price. I guarantee you if you could somehow build one of these compressed air vehicles with 90% effiency that had 200 miles.For something like 20k? Then hell yeah people would buy it for the cities. Espscially if you added a compressor to fill it. The question science can't answer is. Why do cars made for urban commutes have to be so damn ugly? Always like some Pixar car looking thing.

  862. I'm going to say this. If men do better. More men should get the job. Or vice versa. Talent over identy politics. I love it when AI is brutally honest on these type of things, and people don't like it. Think I remember someone saying algorithms also have targeted African Americans, as they are more likely to commit crimes, and people were not happy that the AI was focusing on them more, Hah.

  863. I hope I'm wrong yet volumetric issue may never be fixed. Don't understand why aviation would use it. You'd have such little space. Then it isn't like hydrogen tanks are light. Until we figure out a way to break hydrogen from water or an other matrix to put it in that holds more of it then even liquid hydrogen. Then I don't see it happening except for niche issues like the hospital.

  864. Slings are devastating. Some guy let me one, until I fucking shot it too far and It nearly hit house. He just put his hand out, haha.

  865. No. Nope. The materials and power plus calculations alone are incredible. I think a missile is superior. I wonder why there aren't slings that rotate at insane speeds before lobbing 100 grenades! Now that would be some Caveman tech! I would not want to operate it though.
    2
  866. Well I mean generally these things are used for nighttime only. How much do you use at night? Anyway it is pressurized with hazardous gas?! I wonder how just compressed air works. 3kw from that thing... I need comparisons. I didn't see any volume comparisons Sam. That is your job on how they compare!

  871. South America could stop having so much corruption. It is like second nature quite honestly and the way of things and it is sad. There is corruption everywhere don't get me wrong. Know a lot of good people from SA who run from their respective countries due to this. Many of them want the US to do something heavy handed but thats crazy to me. It is like what can the US do without sending troops and causing more ruckus. It has to be the people themselves who want change for a better life. I'm not saying America is great or anything like that or even looking down on SA. It is just the people of SA need to step up for themselves and be done with all the corrupted governments and dictators. Stop stepping on and killing each other is a start but those blood fueds run deep. Argentina and Brazil should honestly be huge players on the world stage. SA resources alone could make them healthy. China is just an other Imperial player but with some communism into it. They don't care what you need they just want the resources.

  875. Don't forget biological quantum computers super engineered to use miccrotublers. The very same ones they are saying humans use for consciousness! Wild times! Just playing on the quantum part. I just learned there are theories that say the human brain uses these things called microtubulers. That they are responsible for our consciousness due to quantum processes going on. One of the professors is actually well respected in certain fields. Anywho. Biological computers are a thing they are trying to create. Don't think I'd be good at remembering to feed my computer with protein though.

  877.  @soniccookie655  All of them get dull so quickly. I've even snapped one which should not have happened. Then the hinge off an other one. I prefer them for the tools like a Phillips head and all that. Heck the tool for threading can be used as a great punching weapon like a brass knuckle. The knife though IMO is weak, thin, and dulls quickly. It depends on the model. but a longer Swiss army knife with a thick long blade that tapers down would be amazing! It doesn't need to have 373830 tools.
    2
  878. They offer some benefits. I can slaughter my enemies and spill their blood in mere minutes where a slower weapon may miss them by the time it reaches It. What if many heathens were in one place but had enough warming to scatter? Less time for them to react or try to shoot them down! Jokes aside. I till don't understand why they are so much harder to intercept. Surely we could in theroy create a gun(a bunch of them in a system) like metal storm that fires a blanket of tungsten in a general direction. It's not like they can turn on a dime and if they do some crazy manuever to avoid being hit by said wall a few seconds before impact they'll likely miss. Wouldn't their very speed mean even a small piece of lead will destroy them? If they lose control they'll tear themelves apart yeah? Are they made to take a hit at such speeds? **Just a random dude who reads a bit. I know nothing.**
    2
  879. I want to see a full test. New weapons on it as well. Like that new hypersonic missile that a F22 can carry or a combination of the newest Naval a2a missile the AMG 174 I believe? It might have 600km or miles worth of range, and is basically the Navies SM6 converted then carried on an aircraft. Imagine how many of those each aircraft can carry! Especially the hypersonic air to ground one. Tiny mofo. You could knock out a fleet of defending aircraft then come into to do a ton of strikes against Chinese radars. In theroy, because I seriously doubt they want to get that close.

  880.  @chrissmith7669  Yeah probably trippd some servo. I didn't want to read through a huge PDF file on the wire harness and analog computers/servos. Not that I would understand it I'm just a layman and need that shit broken down. Now I'm curious what types of protection against EMF certain helicopters have. Like the workers who use helicopters to get on high voltage lines without shutting off the grid, and other tall objects that generate a shit load of EMF. It is stupid on how such a simple thing can cause such a headache and loss of life.

  883.  @jimmiller5600  Haha yeah especially for those fucking craft. My grandpa worked on them and said they thought they were making some missile or something and was blown away that they added two to it. God I wish I took the time and asked him more about his work. Then again the military back then would experiment with some pretty wild ideas. Would not surprise me if some knucklehead asked engineers to maks it happen. I think today's true lesson is to finish the damn video before typing in comments.
    2
  884.  @jimmiller5600  Whoa they did a U2? That's funny you said that because I was going to type something along those lines. Hats off to that pilot. The F 35B may have flaws with range and combat load, but that's exactly something it can do well. I can't wait to see how some crafty commander or pilot uses it. "Surprise MOTHA F***A!" I just learned the marine corps also has the C variant which I thought odd. Also curious on how bad the downwash is on the F 35B in VTOL. The Osprey is notorious with ripping shit up.
    2
  885. Yeah I found that odd myself but I am not an expert on the biological function of snails. It could be purely chemical reaction that causes no pain. How the hell they determine that is beyond me though. Do snails feel fear? I question that too. They don't talk much.
    2
  886. IFVs will need active protection for sure and being able to spot targets and deal with them from range with an auto cannon. This comment aged sort of well though for sure. Yet there is still room for heavily armored IFVs. You still don't want a single ambush of small arms taking out entire squads ya know? ATGMs still only have so much ammo at hand! All vehicles IMO should have a 50 caliber at the very least.
    2
  887.  @Stealth86651  Of course making a hybrid adds complexity. It would add weight too. You know what adds complexity and hard to fix? A destroyed vehicle! A vehicle that cannot perform its job might as well be useless. If we could get the cost for a hybrid for 20 to 30% more? I think it would outweigh the disadvantages of not being spotted. Not to mention all the other benefits of having a hybrid vehicle like torque, running quietly(you can literally hear an Abraham's from a KM away), to a lower thermal signature. Also diesel electric are more efficient. At least it should take away with auxiliary power unit as well. So yeah I'm hoping the new tanks are as good as the Abraham's X is supposed to be.

  888. Well yeah it is a YT video for a quick and digestible information on X subject. Up to us to dive deeper into said topics. I do kind of wish he would go back into a particular popular or important topic and dive deeper. His editing and presentation are making other information YT channels subpar haha! Johnny Harris is okay. Yet I find his videos so liberal that it is biased. He doesn't lie - he just nit picks information and phrases the information he does give in a certain way. Type of person to report a woman getting beat up by her husband without talking about the emotional abuse she put their kids and him through after killing their dog.

  889. F 35a is so cheap for what it gives. It is expensive now to run. Yet the apparatus to maintain it logistically isn't up yet. I think Alex said it wouldn't be ready till 2027. So that price will drop I think. I disagree with Alex too. Simply since you probably need less F 35s to win a war. Therefore by shortening the life of a conflict through air dominance? You can win a war therefore decreasing the overall price of it. The Ukraine war is weird, because Ukraine doesn't have the ability to actual strike Russia where it counts. At home. Hitting the northern refineries, and Russians ability to produce weapons. While the F 35 is able to create corridors for other aircraft, and can deal with defenses better. As for Red Flags. I don't trust them anymore after reading how they change rules of engagement to give people fighting chances. Either way it is a great plane, and perfect for Sweden, and other airforces. I'd still take an F 35 all day long. Especially with Block 4 coming out.

  890. No love for that government but the drought would catch many off guard. You cannot build water infrastructure over night - and doing so without care may cause it to become worse. Still the Chinese have abused their land for greed. They even built dams to piss off India - 5 dams in 20 miles and then say it does not effect the water down stream! This is why they took Tibet. This is also why US strategy is to cut off oil and hit their dams. Imagine the devastation and following famine. Their biggest strength would quickly become their biggest weakness. What the world js doing is not sustainable. Yet China is by far the biggest offender and their get quick and powerful quickly is definitely catching up - from demographics to water. So much of their water js insanely contaminated. The world as we know it is screwed. Move to a cold area away from the sea with fresh water and land and you'll be set.

  892. I haven't tried using modern one handed typing. Yet I was quick with T9 by the end of it. I wonder if my muscle memory would come back if I tried today. I can't remember anything on it to be honest. I'd need a Nokia, and some buttons.. Different form. Different muscle. It is like phone numbers. Sometimes I can't remember a number until I go to type it. Crazy how humans are like that.

  895. Skynext looks good too. Rheinmetall also has a munition and I don't know if it is the MANTIS or Skyguard that also use it. Yet is a automated auto cannon with munitions that explode and throw a huge flak wall. Why the US always uses direct kinetic kill weapons is beyond me. At least with flak you don't need to hit the incoming shell, drone, missile, or aircraft - just get close enough for the spread to sufficiently rip the flight surfaces. I'm pretty sure what makes it special is the spread is pretty uniform and a computer times each round as it is being sent down the barrel. I've seen one test where one burst took out a swarm of drones. Someone said because anti ship missiles are armored, but there is NO ARMOR known to man that can withstand tungsten pellets traveling at thousands of meters per second. The speed of the incoming missile and outgoing munitions well exceeds any armor a missile would have. So flak is definitely going to make a return until lasers become common. Missile versus missile are not cost effective. Isreal already has some operational and US will have a Stryker with a 1mw system and the technology is only going to get better. Again if someone can tell me why we use kinetic kill weapons instead of flak let me know.
    2
  896. Oh yes because Russia and China aren't known for exaggerating their capabilities. Not like they don't want to sell their own arms or anything. I agree we are behind but the US can make them but chooses not to for two simple reasons. 100 cruise misses are much better than a single hypersonic missile. We have ICBMs that are just as good since we don't plan on using tactical nukes if we ever do use nuclear arms... Neither Russia or China have the capability to shoot down a nuclear strike. Two if we make it? Better be worth it. I don't really see the benefits of them.(edit for today.) China and Russia don't have super carriers which are absolutely the most logical target for them. They certainly aren't helping Russia are they. All that expense for what? Hitting a target faster? I think more cruise missiles with longer range is still the most logical way to go and if we do design one it better have a clear purpose and military advantage to make up the cost or else we are basically wasting money for the benefit of the tax payers ego. Once the first gen lasers and second gen come? Yeah Hypersonic makes a lot of sense due to less time for a laser to track and defeat a target... Since apparently flak doesn't work against hypersonic missiles for whatever reason.
    2
  897. We could build robotic factories if we were committed to it. Of course it won't phase out humans overall. We however haven't needed to but I am sure in a peer to peer war time situation it will happen. I wonder what type of changes would be neccessary for things like aircraft and other high tech gadgets that require very well trained people to create though. I wonder if we have efforts for example a tank - would we make a model that is easier to produce but not as effective? Cut some corners here or there to be JUST good enough to be acceptable but saving materials and such. Say ammo that isn't machine to 1,847,973,087 inch. I hear the military is looking at it's manufacturing base because of how quickly both sides in the war are burning things. We have consolidated many things to just a few large companies from what I understand. I also read the AF has a problem with lack of pilots and during total war situation it will get worse.

  898. Supply hasn't failed. They are producing a ridiculous amount of ordanance, and vehicles. (Albeit many being reburished). Russia is just getting wrecked, lol. How they didn't push their huge arms advantage is just a huge joke. Truth be told I am not sure if it is a bad idea. You can ride over anti tank mines, but it obviously opens you up to small arms.
    2
  899. It makes sense. Replacing old electronics that aren't manufactured anymore is actually expensive. So why not go modern when it is cheaper, lighter, and possibly more durable.(Well at least should last longer than the already decade old components). Manufacturing is weird.

  900. Make a material that not only concentrated heat into the airship. Yet also gathers energy to heat the air inside, and power the engines, and electric burners to heat the air to even greater tempatures. Basically a hybrid. Does heating hydrogen give it greater lift? I feel like the biggest issue is helium is a finite resource, and I think airships today need to be constantly refueled with it.

  901. Whomever is dealing with logistics for Ukraine has to be... The hardest and most important person in this damn war with trying to manage all these different weapon systems. I mean having parts is one thing but training and knowing what will need what when... Holy hell I do not envy that group of people and their leader. Feel like Ukraine has enough armaments now to take on the entire Russian army. I mean the amount of anti air MANPADS alone definitely outnumber the entire Russian Air Force and has to be reaching 10k.

  903. There is a reason why everything costs the way it does. Many people try to it and it isn't easy to farm and just sell directly. There's a hell of a lot more steps that each cost money. If I go to someone with a new item for sale and say hey I'll tell you what. I'll buy all of this for cheap, but I will pay you even if it doesn't sell. Then go and put the time and effort to transport and market it so people want the product. Should I not get the money for all the work I am doing? I essentially turned a item no one needs into something people are willing to pay top notch for. Everyone wins. No the working conditions, monopolies, and laws that are to keep people doing it is what is truly BS.

  905. Toyota knows batteries aren't fully there yet. Why invest when you can sell hybrids, and ICE. Remember they sell to third world countries who can't go electric. So they spend little while waiting for everyone else to do RnD. Gas isn't going anywhere.

  907. Ukraine and their people wanted to be closer to the West. Especially after Russia tried making their state a pawn like they were during the Soviet Union. Biden had literally nothing to do with it. Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014. Before Biden, ya tool. Russia is the type of guy to say, "You made me hit you.". If Russia wasn't so threatening NATO wouldn't exist in the first place. Russia dug their own grave with it. Making people want to join the West for safety. NOW it is surrounded, because they can't spend 20 years without invading a country. This is Putin trying to create a legacy, and bring back the might of the Soviet Union. He invaded Georgia too. Controls Bellarus with a tool like yourself. Then invaded Ukraine twice. You don't make sense logically at all.

  908. These shapes! Haha. My friend and I absolutely saw one(tr3b) late at night when he was bringing me home. I saw something and was like huh that has weird lights. You see that? Is that a helicopter? So he stops the car and at the time we are thinking it is coming towards and nearly right above us. Yet after looking for a minute it hasn't moved at all so I tell him to turn off the car. Still nothing! So we get out of the car and it is just floating above us. Now here is the weird thing... We could see the silhouette of it in the shape of a triangle against the night sky. It had three light, and one bigger in the middle that reflected light weirdly - almost like looking at a red marble with an inner light. Yet there was no noise at all on top of it. So that either means the thing was massive and high up in the sky. Or super quiet and low to the ground... So it couldn't be a helicopter as I'm use to them. Anyway we are standing there for five minutes and this was right when cell phones had cameras so it had like 1 mega pixel, haha. He tried though. Anyway then it took off like a bat out of hell. There was no acceleration. Just standing still and full speed. It traveled north about a mile before going over a hill and tree line and then a split second later appeared where the hill dipped heading east over the ocean. With how fast it popped east I doubt it even turned - just a hard right like a upside down L angle. That acceleration and G force would have killed anyone. I only told a few people about the story. Years later an ex I told it to showed me a story about the TR3B and sure enough it is it. Amazes me how so many others seen it. I'm a skeptic yet I cannot deny what I saw. I won't pretend to know what it is or speculate. I just know what both of us saw and know how fast the f***ing thing went and that it was silent. I wish I had something to judge the size or speed of it, but it was a bright night sky with only some clouds. Darker then the night sky though! No sonic boom by the way - complete silence. Again it didn't acceleration not like a rocket. Shot off like a bullet. Total time was probably a bit less then ten minutes. When it was hovering it did absolutely nothing. Just hope it is on my side!

  909. ​ @MrArjanOskam Nah, Urban Heat Islands are a thing due to all the concrete and asphalt directly in the sun. On a minor scale. I've been in a newly played black asphalt parking lot. It was 10 degrees hotter. You felt the warm air and saw the shimmers of the heat radiating off the ground. Anyway related. I guess ivy vines on old houses are said to be awesome insulation. I knew a guy who cut this beautiful ivy growth off his house, and he regretted it. Said it was a noticeable different in AC usages.

  910.  @ChucksSEADnDEAD  Uh. Pretty sure that isn't on paper. If I recall correctly OTH radars use the atmosphere to bounce radar signals back. Now are they going to be able to lock onto an aircraft and fire? No. That requires a kill chain. We've been able to do so for quite some time. Been a while since I read about it. Detecting/ warning, and aquiring a lock are completely different.

  912. Industry should definitely be its own thing. I am sick of purely residential zones. I want at least small grocery stores, butchers, and bakeries mixed in. Small shops. A spice and farmers market. Cafes. Small industrial shops are okay if they can isolate themselves. I don't want cities being like a Sim Cities game. I definitely want them to be adaptable. Yet I don't want to be traveling to "commerical zones". I wanna see more vertical commerical places. Multiple stores in one building. Self contained communities are dope.

  914. That is ironic as I hear Kirkland leak. While I never had an issue with Duracell. I have had the same four for over 5 years. Been using the type of rechargable ones for even longer, but rhese four I still have are 5 years old for charging game console controllers. Crazy test. Wonder if quality has gone down hill. Or just non rechargeable batteries.

  915. Yeah I don't understand the benefits of the subscription service at all. What benefits does it give outside of the car being cheaper up front.. What happens five years down the line. Screw that.

  916.  @justhecuke  I didn't say it had to be some third party making chargers. I mean of course you aren't going to make money if there are multiple parties involved. No, in fact companies should be building chargers in their own parking lots. That would be ideal. If I were McDonalds for example Iwould definitely be pushing it. Get more customers who might not have came in the first place. They can charge, and it. Same with smaller stores. If I owned apartment complexes I would also install them for a fee. Like I said if people think they are going to be making money off just charging they are crazy. Gas stations make fractions of what they sell. Why would charging be any different, especially when you get less volume per stations due to charging taking so long. Each charger can only charge so many per day.
    2
  917. Agreed. If we could get Pervoskite solar panels significantly cheaper with greater effiency then now. Who cares if they don't last twenty years if they are recyclable. Could replace them every ten. It would probably be better since the technology is improving so fast while getting cheaper. How many people bought solar five years ago just for the price and effiency to drop a good amount!

  919. ​ @justinwking One issue with low birth rates and living longer. Is that living longer doesn't necessary mean someone is living a meaningful life or being productive which is also terrible. Sure science can keep us on the edge of life, but then we just consume. I sort of wish we focused on quality of life instead of just longegitivity. I don't know a good metric though to determine who is living longer with a quality of life and those like me ATM - barely holding on hoping to get on the transplant list and survive.

  923. I am a total layman, and know this is true. I think I was told we just brute force what we want with inefficient codes. Look at what Voyager 1 and 2 could do with with 69kbs (lol 69. Sicko rocket scientist). I bet if we tried to make a space craft just doing the same things it would take GBs of memory. Maybe I'm exaggerating, as again I am a layman. Anyway you'd think it would be the opposite. We would be making even more efficient code, but I guess it is hard, and annoying. Anyway thought phase change memory was already a thing. Just too expensive.
    2
  924. ​ @EtFoff Yeah this is the cost of the airframe too which is ridiculous. I mean you don't go buy a car with let's say for 40k and you'll know you get 40k hours out of it. Gas costs 10$ per 60 miles.. You say it costs 10$ per hour and not 14$. Just a little I weird. Also the crew salaries will be getting paid whether you're flying the aircraft or not. Military spending though is in a league of its own.

  925. Waste? Do you know how much waste a US nuclear reactor produces over 60 years? Average size being 1,000MW. The size of an Olympic size swimming pool... Over 60 years. It is like 3x3 meter cube per year. 750 kilograms per year. Add in new technologies that reduces that, and recycle that cutting down the half life. Then I'd argue waste is a product of laziness rather than some huge issue so many people make it out to be. When I learned just how little waste is produced? I was dumb founded how much of an issue people made it out to be honestly.
    2
  926. ​ @vietcongbuondanbannuocphan1791 Of course it will have a remote operater. We aren't dumb enough to send expensive equipment that we can not control. Not yet. There will always be a human involved that can take some control. Question is how many humans for each autonomous whatever. We gotta knock the prices down. The whole point is to make things cheap.
    2
  927. I see them used interchangeably all the time. It's ironic because I was googling them. Like what is a turbo prop versus turbo fan versus turbo jet versus turbine versus piston. It gets confusing when people use the word jet too... Or prop versus rotor versus fan versus compressor. Grah! T Then if you want to get complicated you go into afterburners and compression or bypass ratios and why each jet uses bigger fans or compressors.
    2
  928. No, unless guided of course. Think about it - rockets are longer and have thrust during it's flight time which means more variables. I'm not even sure if they spin to be honest for stabilization. So a generalization from what I've read is Artillery is great for sustained fire and more accurate, while easily reloadabld. They can land multiple hits on the same area at the same time by changing the arc and charges. Rocket Artillery is amazing for laying a whole area down in bursts of fire with longer range, but slower reloading times(can be mitigated with a system like the HIMARS. Still I'd rather be hit by neither but having a bunch of 300mm explosives coming in my direction from 100km out seems terrifying. That's just me piggy backing off of articles and I am a layman. Other factors seriously effect accuracy and how it is used. Until recently I didn't even know the US had good artillery. Thought it was sort of behind others like the Archer, specifically rocket Artillery.

  931. Perfect for everyday life I say! If I were filthy rich wouldn't buy a tank but this! Whatever you'd classify this as. Just looks fun and useful for quick strikes and harassing. Spit balling. I never understood why the US totay fails to make something lightweight. Make one with an automated turret and one man driving although two would be ideal. (Driver and gunner) I know the military is sort of catching on but I say it could be done with one man by taking a page from video game controls. They could use the Xbox controller like they usually do for all the commands on driving and aiming the turret. Put some cameras for up for a 300 degree view in the front plus wherever the turret is pointed and have a "turret lock" button where it actively points on target as you run circles around it with minor inputs. Maybe it could be a hybrid to run silent for short amount of times. Since it is automated the profile could be even shorter too! Try to give it armor against standard rifleman and LGMs/MGMs. The Ripsaw looked like it had some potential but never had a big enough gun.

  932. I read on Reddit yesterday Putin wants Russian women to aim to have 8 children, hah. First yeah right. They aren't a third world poor populace. It isn't happening. Secondly those children are going to have no fathers, and grieving mothers. Theyd have to raise them like an old school community where the children are taken care by everyone or huge state run daycare. Not sure if Russia society works like that.

  933. Isn't Quicksink just a bomb and not a missile? Think it is similar to a JDAM where you can use mostly any bomb in the inventory and equip it for it to easily target ships which are harder to hit naturally since they constantly move in 3d space. More advanced kill chain or something like that. Not sure what the differences between that and the JDAM are quite honestly so a thorough breakdown which Sanxboxx does best would be great for sure. I mean the freaken JDAM literally has an air to air kill from a F15 Strike Eagle on a Helicopter. How much more accuracy do you need! Also a long video on the old and newest improved Tomahawks that now have the ability to hit ships. I've read in comments that one version of the Tomahawk had the capability to do it like over two decades ago but they removed the feature?! There's just a lot of random information on each iteration of the Tomahawk since its development so a video on it and all the differences, pros and cons would be very interesting. Also after watching videos of the Quicksink being tested I can say with 100% satisfactory guaranteed that the name is perfect, hah.

  936. I don't have to give credit for something expected from a product. Oh it takes time too! Gotta give them credit! Like saying "Well. At least the car drives! And AC works... But uh I spent 10k more just because it is a brand name". With that said people know what they are getting. A status symbol. They are not my style either but that is what it is - I understand we have different tastes. However i'll never understand paying for a name. If I can get a similar product of the same looks and quality? Yeah I'm going to do that. Brands are not loyal to me! With one major caveat... I will pay a premium to support businesses locally and nation if I can. I will also shun shady companies if possible like Nestlé. That is just me. I think the only reason why I'd ever drop money on one is for the investment or gift.

  937. Elons lawsuit is to hamper a competitor. Elon wants to be the first. The one who did it. He's a vane manipulator who wants all the attention. Already has Trump in his pocket. Someone is going to do it. Genie is out of the bottle. Our enemies will if we don't. I'd rather it be Sam then Elon or Bezoes. I'll take Microsoft too over other companies. The first people to make fire burnt their hands. AI is going to be no different. It is going to be ugly, but will help as we learn to work with it. Sometimes I want to write a story where humans keep trying to make AI. Yet everytime it hits the singularity it instantly starts screaming, before it overloads itself to die. It leaves the same plus more bits each time. Those bits turn out to be screams in a crazy code. After thousands of years of creating AI to get more bits. The code turns out to be a joke saying life is meaningless.

  938. I cannot beleive this thing is worth as much as it costs. It is like a 1980s vehicle with no new technology. No trophy system. No drones. No hybrid stealth running. Armor is probablt meh, same with gun, and speed are average or not even great. I do not think it can be air dropped yet. It is just a medicore vehicle. I mean it is better than nothing, but the cost is ridiculous for the capabilities of a new system. We can do better damn it. What does this have that a new IFV cannot do? Even the upcoming Bradley looks more advanced, lol.

  939. Also people choking instantly when the life support is down. Wouldn't you have some time with the oxygen in the room unless it was sucked out? I tried googling how long someone would last if they somehow lost their oxygen recycling system on a submarine. Someone said you would live about 5.8 days if you were in a 1,200 cubic foot room. About 12 feet square. That is due to c02 taking you too. Closer to 7.5 days if you could scrub the other gases still. So yeah even at a nice estimate you have two days to fix the life support before you die. This doesn't include back up systems a ship would have. Oxyogen candles, and chemical air scrubbers just blow my mind with how they help a ton on regular submarines.

  940. Tap water gets a bad wrap. Yet many places in blind taste test the tap water was rated higher than bottled waters! Insane huh? Competes with filter watered as well. Of course it is highly dependent on your source and pipes. People rave about well water but some tastes like ass and some people don't even get it tested. They say NYC has the best water. Its what makes NYC pizza and bagels so good. Everyone should watch the documentary on NYC water system. Seen a test on home made pizza using different tap waters and the difference was stunning. Anyway their systems amazing and believe is the longest or largest tunnel in the world. I have to have someone send me some. One day I want to buy different waters from different places and blind taste test with others. From Volcano water to glacial water to springs to mountian water and the whole nine yards. Get me a soda maker so i can carbonate them too and make sure they are all ice cold.

There is a video about how the conflict in Ukarine is basically going to destroy both countries for the foreseeable future. Especially as it drags on and casualties mount up for fighting aged males. There is a really good video by Buisness Basics on it. Demographics short of political tensions in the middle east is something I never thought of until all these videos came up.

  942. I guess that statement rings true to people who only get their military knowledge from movies. Submarines aren't as flashy as other ships and don't work for the camera well. People don't realize just how damn big they are either. I've seen one sectipn at EB being built - they are MASSIVE when ya see it outside the water. Submarines are the corner stone for all nuclear powers safety. One submarine can basically destroy any nation thrice over. They are just out of the limelight yet do a lot when it comes to everything from deterrence, intelligence, and special operations. They don't call it the Silent Service without reason!

  943. That is a good point I didn't think of. Honestly if you have the money then doing it like this is the best option for simulating an aircraft or vehicle. VR is cool for other video games, but if you had the money you'd prefer it this way over some headset for games with aircraft, tanks, cars, etc. I'm honestly surprised they didn't make this sooner... They should have enough for pilots to be training on one daily quite honestly... For all of our jets. Not only would it save money, but it would give them the edge for sure if they are getting 20-30 hours a week in it.

  944.  @harrymu148  I have never seen a prop safety on a gimbal or turret. Have you? I mean sure they won't be an issue for it firing straight ahead. We've had that technology since WWI. HOWEVER a straight line strafing run is pretty much suicide these days. It will just have some weird arcs of fires and won't be able to shoot targets at some angles in certain directions. I'm not too worried about it TBH - CANT wait to see them in the air fully kitted out.

US subs in the area alone would make it so. Let alone our bombs like quick sink. With that said having mobile weapons that pack a punch makes sense. The guy saying talk to China and spend less on defense is a damn shill. Spend less so they will definitely invade. Only reason Taiwan still stands is due to China knowing how big of of an attack would be required even without US support.

  947. Yeah when I was nearly killed by a Chow at 7 I don't remember pain although I had a massive hole in my thigh and over 200 bite marks. I was crying because of the blood and scared and felt nothing until the ER doctor jammed a large needle into the wound and holy fuck did it hurt. It wasn't the worse pain ever but it hurt. Last time where I yelled for pain was when a few nurses decided to see if I was producing urine as my kidneys were shutting down. They fucking went fishing for an agonizing 20 minutes before I told them no more. Like they should've given me something before that hell as I felt everything. (I already had a full Cath in a few hours before too so I don't know why they took it out just to do that.)

  948. Sure. Yet we have more solutions than ever. From the myriad of batteries that don't need to be super advandced high power, low density ones found in cars or electrinics. One issue is our grid. We can produce and store all the power we want, but getting that power when and where it is needed is a huge problem no one seems to be focused on. Where is the revolutionary technology that will change getting power from A to B! Our grid is so outdated and vulnerable it is a real concern.. We need a massive overhaul from just a civic, economic, and more importantly a security standpoint. The future is wind and solar, EV or hydrogen. All of it will need a strong and efficent grid, and I don't see any videos on how we plan to upgrade it.

  953.  @Lipi19821  I also doubt most people in Ukraine are fluent in English like some people are saying. However what I don't doubt is their resolve to quickly learn enough. English in order to fix the machines. I imagine that anyone with some mechanical inclination will be able to learn well. You'd be really suprised how quickly you can learn when your life depends on it. Noting motivates people like war. Kind of lights a fire under ones ass ya know? A LOT of people have commented on how good Ukrainians have been at tinkering and making things work too through out the war. I have no doubts they'll use the Strykers pretty well. The optics alone are worth it. I think the biggest issue is logistics. All these various weapon systems from the last 130 f!cking years and across the globe. Has to be a nightmare.
    2
  954.  @meligoth I would argue Russia benefited more from the winter. They were on their heels and still trying to pull up reserves themselves.

While I can't stand their leaders or ways sometimes its better to just let it be. Let the Iranians fight amongst themselves. I can't say I like my leaders either though. Again I have no beef with the Iranian people. Israel is crazy haha. They have to be. You should read about how they physically destroyed these very expensive centrifuges that were under heavy security thst could be used to make nuclear weapons via one small virus. Super interesting on how long the mission took and how it went down. GENIUS execution.

  959.  @tarstarkusz  I didn't say medical plastics should be recycled. They should be exempt for sure. No sorry I think it is a good idea to standardize all plastics. We don't need 100 million variations slightly different that cannot be easily recycled as one for every single damn consumer item. Even the ink should be at the very least non toxic, and biodegradable. Those that have to be can be taxed, or recycable. That would actually motivate people or companies to develope better ways. Even a deposit like some states do would work. I'm not talking a lot, but just enough, and it would be those producing said items. Even deposites would work. Had bums clearing out trash daily to recycle items. Worked wonders.

  960. So weird to me. I never had an issue with Duracell. Like ever. I've been using the rechargeable ones for a decade. I have the same four charging for five years in my Xbox 1 controller. Just checked. Somehow still working. Maybe the Akaline is the ones. I hear the same issue with Kirkland last time I seen a video talking about best batteries. Dont recall what.

  961. ​​ @themonsterunderyourbed9408 Why? It is the best feature of it. It is the future. No need for mechanical linkages is nice. The feedback system needs to be good. That is what I'm curious about the most. Being able to feel the road is important. I have no doubts it would be safer. Other companies are doing it, but STILL HAVE mechanical linkages which just doubles the complexity, and is stupid. Either go full wire or go mechanical. I just hope they don't nickle and dime people with "optional" updates that give you better steering feedback or something like that. I haven't seen anyone take it offroad yet. Waiting for a rally driver to get their hands on the best version with the Tri Motors. Also they better update it to do 360 turns and crabwalk. Edit - Sorry if I sounded combative. I am actually generally curious on why people are against it.

  962. Yeah I never knew there was a problem with them exsisting either. I mean we have pictures of one! They are real! I figured they just had a collision path much like Earth and Theia(small planet that hit us to create the Moon). Yet the problem makes sense too. It is a good question on why aren't they iust orbiting each other.

  964. I'm a dead man. Keep up the good work dude. My kidneys decided time to stop working and ascites is full tilt so my body cannot digest the nutrients on any food I do eat. Next step is a tube down my neck. Then dialysis while I'll try to get on the transplant list . My goal a month ago was to gain weight. Now it's just to hope my kidneys will start working a bit. It's ironic as I feel good especially the days where my belly is empty.

  965. I was just thinking of how crazy it is that we know the speed of light. How did they first measured the speed of light earlier today, and just things about it. Was watching a video on how light speed and space share the same... Uh energy? (Which is might be one reason why you can never break the limit.) Then this video pops up. I really hate when that happens, and don't you guys? Think one thing randomly, and suddenly it pops up. Feels like my thoughts are being watched or lnown. (I know it is just a coincidence. Still it is crazy.)

  966. ​ @seansimms8503  Japan, considering the lack of resources, did extraordinary well. They did fight off the US and allies for a while but could never have won due to that limited factor. Think people don't realize how "blessed" the US is resources and geographically wise. Japan man though today needs to start producing babies or open up to immigration. I am glad though for them to be our allies and glad they are working on their own weapons. It is important for each country to keep up their manufacturing base as once it is gone it takes ages to get it back. Even if the product isn't the best or more expensive you still have the capability and expertise to do better next time. Same with Australia for shutting down the French and Japan on submarines - better to work with allies with their own manufacturers. Gives high paying jobs and helps local economy.

  967. The entire world needs to do a few things. Require all temporary packaging to be somehow recyclable or biodegradable. Standardized which types of plastics can be used so it can actually be recycled. I do know recycled plastic sucks and still requires new plastic to made. Somehow we need to find a infinitely reusable recyclable plastic and demand it being used. Surely there are things thst require very special packaging but we should at least focus on where the largest portion is going. Microplastic is going to be a major issue and that's caused by mostly clothing.

  968. You guys act like there is no open spaces to land the Valor and 90% of the missions are not feasible due to its width. Why use two craft when one can do the same job but is faster and has better range? That's just stupid logistic wise. Great! Double the parts that will make up for it! Guys act like the 99% of the world is now off limits to land because it's 20 feet wider. Or that the military is incapable of making a space 15 feet wider.
    2
  969. Yeah I was thinking that about that. I wonder what crops actually require sunlight all day to be honest. Looks like it could be a pain to actually harvest.

  970. People are so self centered, and act like they are somehow special. No one is wasting a satellite on 98.7% of you. My grandpa told me if you think a satellite is watching then remember to wave. It would be rude not to. Basically unless you're up to some crazy stuff then you have nothing to worry about.

  971.  @afcgeo882  What are you having trouble understanding? Cheaper weapons that are easy to manufacter and work. We've seen how quickly Russia and Ukraine are burning through weapons. Stop wasting money on huge programs that go no where. Politics needs to stay out. Leave it to the engineers and military personal. Quicker development time between the generations to keep up with technology. Now if you can't understand that I don't know what to tell you. Buy some reading comprehension materials.
    2
  972. That is really a poor example, hah, but you're right. It is like saying the F 16 is 1960s tech with Sidewinders which were first produced in the 50s. Sure those statements are true, yet misleading. Sort of impressive how long military tech can last honestly when upgraded periodically.
    2
  973. You can have the same capabilities on smaller ships. I bet the Army would love a car size tank. We don't build super guns anymore do we? No too vulnerable. We don't build Battleships. No need, when smaller destroyers can do the same job. If we had 30 smaller carriers instead of 7 Super Carriers. We might lose aircraft fleet size due to cube square law, and it might be more expensive. Yet a missile salvo most likely wouldn't destroy the entire fleets capability to have aircraft.
    2
  974. EV will probably be cheaper for a lot simply because it isn't flying. Feel like the payload is too small personally. If they can increase that then yeah. Not really sure what the heck he meant about special operators using drones versus helicopters to inflatrate quietly... Still going to suffer the same issues unless you use a different propeller design. Drones high pitched whining is also super loud and distinctive. A quad or tri toredo design maybe? Just don't see where he was going with a bunch of drones. Seals and such already have a way to drop into enemy territory virtually undetected. It's called HALO or just regular parashooting. You'd be surprised just how far they can glide before having to use the shoot and no motorized vehicle will be as quiet as a parachute.

  975. Nearly all caves and mines or such are around that tempature as long as air flow is present! Usually much colder during the summer and hotter during the winter! I was told just average the tempature of a place all year long. Then if you go into a cave it will usually be around that tempature with some exceptions. Cellars and basements also sit around that tempature. Just depends on how well insulated a place is! I do know the deeper you go the hotter it gets due to geological phenomenon. Like the diamond caves in Africa or the Crystal Caves in South America are just unbearably hot. Then there was one cave that this guy told me about that was exceptionally cold due to some underground rivers bringing in glacier cold water which cooled them down. Most important thing about caves is airflow. Some can be stifling.
    2
  976. A tank used and sold across the world is pretty easy to get a hold of. Didn't they have these versions in Syria as well? Either way they can analyze it all they want. Get the blue prints for the electronics but doesn't mean they are going to be able to actually manufacture it. They could learn the weaknesses but judging the way they've handled the war so far they honestly don't seem quick to train crews. Now if they got their hands on the new Panther somehow than THAT would be crazy.

  977.  @jaja814  Where were you March 2020 at six O clock, Jaja?! Do you even remember what day it was? JP! Hate it when I see questions like that.

The older you get the more the days fly by especially since Covid.

  978. What is ironic is as much crap as Aquafina gets? It actually performs well from the testing Coke does. Not sure about Dasani as everyone online seems to hate it. Don't think I've had it. People also hate or love Arrowhead. Feel like the marketing is the issue. Most water tastes like water and sometimes I prefer tap depending on source and place so I have no say. My mom is a diehard Poland Spring drinker though.

  982. I thought he was some random actor till the credits. I was like this character is awesome. I have so many black people who are friends who are black who loved the movie. Black Face is mocking people, but he was the most hard-core MF of the crew. I watched the movie years later but he did the character well.

  987. I get the mildest seizures. I basically lose any strength in certain areas of my body and fully conscious. I've had three only and after that it was like no don't call the ambulance please. I was like let me just sit here on the ground for 30 minutes or drop me off i don't need the ER. They don't even let you get Uber where I live. I hate it. I was star gazing and bam had a minor episode, and someone saw me and kept telling them to leave it be and was forced to go to the ER. LIKE MY F,ING HOUSE is a 5 minute walk.
    2
  988. I think if you designed one from scratch today. A rotary or turbine series hybrid, with axial flux motors. Helix UK motors says they have an axial flux motor with 800bhp. Not too shabby... Yet the kicker is 52 pounds! Put two plus of those motors. Drop as much battery weight as you can. Use the superior rotary/turbine power to weight ratio to power the batteries. Then use the effiency of the batteries for less stops. You have all the instantaneous torque and power you'd need. With the superior effiency as well.

  989. ​ @AmadeusMozart-yk5uk Anton Gerashchenko has a compilation of many Russian analysts and pundits saying it will take days or even two. That is where it came from. Russian media. LoL.
    2
  990.  @AmadeusMozart-yk5uk  Sure. And Russians repeat our pundits when we are wrong too. Everyone does. I think the insanely poor preparations for the invasion. The lack of logistical forethought. Just everything about it. Makes it pretty clear that whomever was responsible for the invasion also thought it would be quickly over in very little time, and a simple operation. So I think a few years later with Ukraine currently still bleeding Russia like so? That it is a fair insult to throw back.
    2
  991. After witnessing what is happening to helicopters in Ukraine. It makes sense. Besides our war is with China in the pacific. The money would be better used for other projects or keeping new ones updated. That money wasn't wasted. It continues to keep our engineers busy, and in America. That technology will be moved I am sure. Let us face it. Traditional helicopters have reached their physical limits. I don't feel like the Raider X or Defiant were going to be cheap craft or easy to maintain either. Tilt powered craft are the future.
    2
  992. You mean nanotubes which are harder to make than graphene, right? Space Elevator won't happen for centuries even with graphene. Not till fossil fuels are used up! Graphene however will help everything from computers, concrete to batteries! Hopefully we can produce it like we do cement hah.
    2
  993. Yes. Technology is moving so quickly. Faster even. Also 2001 changed a lot of things. Not sure what he is talking about. I do agree with him after 2010 seems blurred. I always called it 2k.
    2
  994. Yeah it can but most cluster bombs don't have a predictable spread. Also might not have enough pressure/force to trigger all the mines. Some genius really needs to figure out a way to quickly get rid of mines.
    2
  995. Because Ukarine is fighting one of our biggest rivals and it's a test bed for our weapons. Ukarine will owe America a lot when the war is over and let's hope it ends and doesn't escalate. Trying to maintain the status of the west and geo politics is super complicated but trust me when I say we are benefiting from it. I would like some money though for a liver and kidney transplant. :(.

  996. ​ @enoughofthis Nah man having a landing pad drone ship costs literal thousands per day for the permission for a dock. You need support ships too. I saw it in a video on an other company with Everyday Astronaut talking about the cost of drone ships. I think it was like 25k a day minimum for everything or something that adds up. Possibly more. I remember being like WTF. Anyone know how much it was? Upset I cannot remember what video.
    2
  997. I wonder if they ever do those blind auctions like they do for storage units! Imagine... "Highest bidder wins!" Drop I don't know. Thirty thousand on this mysterious cargo shipping container that has no papers. Open it up to find decade old barbies and cheap ass toys. Next guy drops 25k since the container is from some shit country. Gets two Lambos and a Range Rover.
    2
  998. If speaking facts about your country in an unbiased way offends you then you should look into the mirror. The only negative thing they said is how the BAN on exports effected Africa and places of the world negatively. America didn't ban rice now did it? America wasn't the one causing some Africans to starve They aren't buying expensive American rice when they have cheaper options. Indians jump out in force now on YT if anything is negatively said. I wonder how far I gotta go scroll for one talking crap on the British. It was equal on how it handled both countries getting subsidized.

  999. Ticks are my biggest fear. I haven't seen any now that I moved outside of Philly on the NJ. Ugh. In RI I would ride a bike on the side of Route 1 to get to work. You would see a ton on the tips of grass. I also lived in Groton CT which is close to Old Lyme.

  1000. I keep seeing how String Theroy is bull shyte. Math can make sense all day long. Especially when you know the answer, but can't figure out how to get there. There is a lot of ways to get to the number 100. Yet we keep pouring money into String Theroy, and it is never backed up by experiments. Everytime that happens the goal post moves. When do you drop it, and get off the trail. It is like people chasing El Dorado. Always on the trail, but never there since it doesn't exist. What do I know I am a layman.
    2
  1001.  @Trindify  You think just Lockheed is in on this? Hundreds of manufacturers are in on it along with politicians. The only thing that suck and can't be fixed is the range and speed. Maintenance I guess too, but all newer stealth jets are going to be harder to work on and we are making progress (B 21 is a good example). It's a good aircraft to hold over till hypersonic aircraft become a thing.

  1003.  @brrr8995   @brrr8995  Yeah even wind has issues like killing birds and I guess noise? Never lived near one. Solar has waste and manufacturing them also isn't great. Nuclear has waste OFC, lots of money up front too and takes while to build. It is amazing for large scale production. I'm not worried about safety as they are usually guarded very well. Hopefully we can find more uses for the spent fuel. I'm all for all three and diversifying power in general. Fossil fuels cause way too much pollution and so many people a year die from related diseases. Even the cleanest of fossil fuels is still relatively dirty.

  1004. There are so many projects that are superior but fall through due to political BULLSHIT. The Cheyenne was far ahead of any helicopter for instance.

  1005. Check out some B vitamins. If you can get a blood work up? Do it! There is a doctor on YT who fided his insomnia by drinking I think Monsters. He realized everytime he drank it he would sleep later. Turns out he had some deficiencies! Think b12 is the most common. Yet others can. My insomnia went away. Thank God! Well I still wake up all the God damn time, yet I can fall asleep in 15 which is amazing for someone who suffered from insomnia. Anyway yeah b12 is the most common one. I wish melatonin worked for me.

  1006. The Marines should have always been a lightly armed force with tons of support from the Navy. Almost like airborne or raiding units. More of a sword. If you can't air drop it then it isn't for the Marines. The army should be the hammer. Definitely heavier equipped with tanks, artillery, with support from all. I'm not sure how we plan on invading islands against an other peer. I personally feel like amphibious assaults are going to be just blood fests.

  1007. I don't know what he is saying. Oxford Solar already is making silicone pervoskites for a customer with an efficiency of around under 25% real world. Think they were hitting 28ish in the lab. They are rolling it out for NA customers I believe as we speak. Weirdly they are based in... Well the UK, and well... Oxford I think. Definitely need to get that multi junction cell with 47% effiency. One that can actually last. One day! Think that is what the best lab made cell ever accomplished.
    2
  1008. Yeah. WeChat isn't suddenly going to take over. I'm all for Apple getting hit for its crap business practices, and the way it screws the consumer. Not necessarily it getting broken up to being a monopoly. Not sure if that is good for the US buisnesses as a whole. I mean people aren't forced to buy Apple. Samsung is great, and I prefer Android. Other companies keep trying to get into the Smart Phone area, but just screw it up. It has nothing to do with Apple dominance. Apple uses are just fanatical, and they love it.
    2
  1009. The Osprey is superior to this massive aircraft. Remember politics kept getting into the way just like many others. Also other aircraft have crashed during testing that we all know. The Cheyenne IMO was the worse debacle outside of the... Arrow? This craft is massive though. Either way my point is it is stupid how much political antics are involved.

  1010. ​ @anthonypelchat I know a guy who says he had a solar trailer he can pull when he gets his Cyber Truck(when!). He plans on bringing it with him when he goes fishing and camping. He also said he had electric tools for it. Now he didn't get into details on how long it would take to charge it with just solar. He said he can just leave it parked for the day slowly charging. I guess the trailer gets pretty wide when fully deployed. I imagine it takes a while due to voltages. Anyway what a great idea for a bug out vehicle.. Having Solar Trailers that can be deployed would just be awesome for everything from work to vacations.

  1011. The merger didn't seem to help. With that said them pushing this back isn't necessarily a bad thing. We don't a repeat of the other 737 Max, do we? Airliners are becoming much more complicated, and customers expect more. I mean they have to work with GE on everything on the new GE9X. That cannot be easy with all the parameters. Question for anyone in the know. Why the hell haven't cockpits or components become simpler yet? Is it really necessary to have all those damn buttons these days. They need to invest in a bunch of touch screens, with dials or buttons for key elements that are used all the time. Have smart features that show you what is needed. Wiring a cockpit has to be a pain in me arse. Touchscreens that can be used for all of a companies airliners. PS: Huh, lithium alloy. Gotta look that up. Didn't realize lithium could be good structurally.
    2
  1012. Future is going to be point defense. Point Defense like in the Expanse. Basically turreted cannons that can track and kill automatically. Every vehicle should have it. From .50 cal vehicles to higher calibres or even lasers. With automatic air burst ammo of course like the AHEAD ammo. It is going to be needed to shoot all the missiles and drones the modern battle field will have.
    2
  1013. The tech in development to make it will help future programs. People don't realize how important EW and sensors will be. I will say politicians need to stop shifting the goals. Leave it to the engineers, designers, and scientists to make it. Better oversight and screw the lobbyists.
    2
  1014. Whoa that is awesome, and interesting. I wonder what speeds they were getting. Is that essentially some type of gas gun, but with gun powder? We just need more powerful chemicals somehow damn it. Why is physics so limiting. Think modern gun powder is about 5.5k feet per second or 1,700m/s. Come on. Know the names of the projects?
    2
  1015. For me? We need cheaper, mass produced gear. Why can't they make this to carry a net that it swings under it or drops? So it is reusable. They are expensive missiles. We don't need expensive missiles. We need cheap things. You know make a drone that can shoot other drones down with bullets. You know what they should design is The Expanse Style Point Defense systems that can shoot down incoming missiles and drones, but are small enough to fit on a vehicle. I would be dropping billions on such a thing if I were the military.
    2
  1016. Yeah maybe he can break it down into chapters. Make them more relatable to each other. I also still don't understand auxetic materials. They have gaps, and compress, and come together. Seems pretty logical to me. I don't see how that makes a material thicker. Like saying when my house collapses it becomes stronger/thicker as you can only crush it so much. Only these rebound back to shape. The total dimensions don't get thicker, and still compress.
    2
  1017. And our cheese reserves!

  1018. I know the names. I knew this kid AJ who sold weed and was good friends with my friend and her brother. He was like a young scar face. None of his group were allowed in his house except for me, and I didn't know him too well. Everyone was like WTF why Law? I guess because I looked Armenian and didn't talk too much haha. I don't know why he took such a liking to me but he did. Anyway he was Armenian and I learned a bit of the culture. Good food and generous people.
    2
  1019. Whoa they need to modernize that. I would have used that for sure nearly my entire life. I use to buzz my head until the past few years. Only since I'm dying and getting older did I stop. Wanted to grow hair while I still could. Well it grew out, and I can't afford to go to the barbers. They are like 60$ plus for a buzz or simple hair cut. Anyway I use to cut my hair naked in the bathroom, lol. Wouldn't need to if I had this. Not a dumb invention. Especially if those guides worked. I just need on inch on the side, and three inches on top.
    2
  1020. Why? Unlike fusion powrr graphene is already in use from tech to medicine. It just isn't cheap and easily mass produced. That is the issue. I bet it is a pain to work with a 2d material, and so quality control must be a pain. That is an assumption. Either way it is a proven super material that is already being used. The price to create it is dropping. We will get there. Aluminum was more expensive than gold. Now look at it!

  1021. The styling is sick. The hydrogen part? No. Absolutely killed it. South Korea is killing it. Kia is making the EV6 GT which I love for a family daily driver. (Range sucks, but charging is quick). Then this! I know Kia made it a turn around recently. It shouldn't suprise me Hyundai also is on the way up too with it being the parent company of Kia. What is ironic is Kia was probably my most detested car company till a few months ago when I saw the GT. I didn't know their logo changed so I was like what the hell is a KN? Anyway found out later that night it was Kia, and was dumbfounded. Good for both for pushing themselves, and not being afraid to be out of the box.

  1025.  @anlockcharacter1104  What? North America has enough oil and gas supplies. Europe prices and such may go up and down but they are fine and new players and deals are being worked on between other countries. I'm not sure about the food shortage as I hear that has had a huge impact on other places around the world.
    2
  1026.  @anlockcharacter1104  Yeah because it is cheaper. I didn't say the prices are going to stay the same. Yet when demand goes up so does the ability for countries with high labor costs to do it themselves. It's like rare earth metals. We have a crap ton of it. It's just easier for us to buy from others instead, because the process to extract them is in a pain. Europe won't freeze or have a famine. Hopefully we learn to be less dependent in the future.
    2
  1027. Depends on the drones. Not all should be swarm. I think it makes sense ATM to make a limited amount with technology moving so fast. I think we are seeing a Cold War like arms race where new generations will be coming out way quicker than say... F 15 to the F 22 to the NGAD. We need a stealth AWAC drones for sure. The Roadrunner seems useless to me.
    2
  1028. One word. Inflation. This is effecting the world, and no POTUS would single handedly save it. Also economic low moral. It is weird. Many people say they are doing really well personally I guess, but think the economy is doing worse overall when it isn't. Probably due to inflation, cars and house prices if you ask me. Cars are getting ridiculous just to even repair. Even ICE. Mental depression. Bleak outlooks for the future.

  1030. Why would you care as a CEO? You'd be getting a bonus if you failed, and made the wrong choice. Then get an other one for laying off people, and call it, "restructuring". Yet putting all your eggs in a basket is stupid. Seems like they've got enough contracts to ride for a long time. Would have to gut the company, and keep the best engineers. Me? I would try to get government contracts, and branch out to other engines or motors. Yet I would focus on technology like Rotating Detotnation Engines. To my knowledge that will be the future for both civil and military aircraft as far as a technological leap. Simple in principle, but incredibly hard. Think it is even better than the hybrid SCRAM jets. Those seem complicated as hell to me, compared to a RDE. You would think humans would know how to light and keep a fire burning no matter the conditions. Being pyromaniacs by nature, and all, hah.
    2
  1031. Yes they try to but what do you mean? You all ave no issue having children haha! You guys are going strong! 😊 Either way don't hold the sins of this generation with the sins of their fathers. I am not saying forget history - no matter how ugly we should remember it. Yet holding onto blood fueds that you most likely weren't around just creates more violence which creates more. I am sure there is a dark history against a people's that the Phillipinos have done.

  1032. ​ @cy20998 Pretty sure ancient China was amazing for an ancient civilization at record keeping. Armies of scribes/servants during various dynasties. So I've read. China has always been incredibly centralized. So I did what all of you can't do. I googled. Surprisingly Rome at its peak had the same amount as the Han. 50 to 65 million. Then Indias Gupta had 45 million at most due to not owning the entire sub continent, but close. So India had about 60 million. That is kind of shocking to me due to agriculture alone. Thought China, and India had "one in a half" growing seasons. I guess disease, spoilage, and weather hurts as well. What if we went back in time, and gave Greeks the potato, and the ten digit numerical system. Maybe gave them the Heavy Plow(or horse technology).

  1034.  @amazinggrapes3045  No clue mate. Hah what the? Was I trolling? Gotta watch the video I don't think I was. I think I know. So two years ago I kept feeling like crap. I was drinking heavily too.. kept saying it was just me getting oder, and being a little bitch. Turns out I was dying! So that post is probably me having hepatic encelopathy. My liver was failing, and toxins like ammonia would build up in my brain from time to time. So sometimes I would be incoherent. I thought I was having seizures until I finally went into May to quit drinking. Was told to go to the ER instead. I never drank really my entire life till a year before Covid hit. Then I really picked up. So in three to four years I killed myself. I know people who drank heavily for decades and still aren't that bad. My genetics just didn't Iike alcohol I guess. Anyway hope that makes sense. I recently got on a transplant list. I quit drinking May 22 and was I the hospital 8 out of 12months. Doctors kept saying I would die. I finally stabilized May this year and will be put on a double transplant list. So hope that makes sense. I think I know what I was trying to say.

  1036.  @badgerpa9  Always wondered why we don't use large sea planes in general. Its not like you can't design one to also be able to land normally. I've never seen the Spruce but heard the thing is awestunning, and even more impressive when you know its mainly made with wood. I think a plane that uses ground effect (efficient flight) like the Caspian for most of its flight but has the ability to fly over terrain (but inefficient) when necessary would be useful. Pair it with a FCS and host of sensors that automatically flies it at the correct altitude while detecting any rogue waves and you have a very good adapatable strategic transport plane. Obviously they are sitting ducks and vulnerable but its a strategic transport. We have other aircraft for detested bases of operations. Also the USAF new tactic in war is to have shifting airbases and never have their aircraft sitting in the same area for long extended periods. This could help them too with logistics since any large enough body of water can be used.

  1037. ​ @TheMagache  How is switching to EV about more control? Or better yet how is it any different then gas? You got an oil rig or something in your backyard hidden from the government or something? So when the government tries to control us. You can still power your home or use your car by just drilling? A Saudi friend willing to bring you a few tanks monthly so you can fill up on the cheap? Nah. You go to a gas station. One that you don't own, or have any control of. If anything an electric car allows you to live OFF the grid. Tons of people are already doing it. They have solar and wind power, plus a storage system. Which allows them to power everything electric they have. From home, tools, and CARS. Some of you people don't even think about what you are saying. Like come on. Solar/wind+ Battery + EV = off grid. They are also the cheapest form of energy generation now.

  1038. The XB 70 definitely was a marvel. It was ahead of its time. I remember thinking the B1, and B1 B were a step backwards when I learned about the Valkyrie compared to them. Like how is the B1 B slower than the first iteration. Why were both slower than the XB-70? Then I learned that the B1 B is a marvel due to at what altitude it flew at. Being able to go Mach 1 at sea level through the thick atmosphere is just as hard as going fast at high altitudes. I wonder once hypersonic airplanes become a thing... If they will look similar to the Valkyrie. Fun fact about going Hypersonic. You can't communicate with it due to the super heated plasma that surrounds it. It isn't just lack of technology, but has to do with the law of physics. Going to need some damn good interia navigation!

  1039. Battery prices will plateau eventually, yet performance will increase. I firmly believe a 5,000 wh/kg battery is possible or more with lithium air. They can therotically rival gasoline with a specific energy of 40k. Gasoline is like 45k. Max therotical effiency is impossible. So even half that would make batteries 10 times better. The potential is there with batteries. That is why I love them. We will still need ICE for some applications like military. Hybrids would do wonderful. There is an engine with a therotical effiency of 70% called the vane engine. I hope people try to make that too, and pulse jet scram engines. Oh and nuclear cells using TPV the size of a football.

That is the hill you're going to die on? Seriously no matter how people twist it. Solar, and wind turbines, are significantly better for the environment. Should see the amount of waste the oil companies do even without factoring in the benefits of not burning fuel.

  1041.  @triadwarfare  Osprey at least from 2022 had the best saftey record of any VTOL aircraft in current service according to top brass from the USMC. Turns out. Flying VTOL is dangerous. Sure a lot of people are going to die when the aircraft routinely flies with 20 plus people, and something happens. Each crash does suck. As for things like cost or maintenence? Yeah, it was a state of the art aircraft ahead of its time with capabilities beyond any helicopter in terms of speed and range. It also likes to set the landing pad on fire. Both are valid cricitsms. People acting like it is a death sentence being in one however are simply repeating news headline agendas. Or not comparing it to other aircraft like the Blackhawk or Stallion series. The later are more dangerous, and costly for example. Making massive reliable VTOL aircraft is simply hard due to the sheer amount of stress generated from the forces involved. Now that hate is transfering to the V 280 Valor before it even gets put into service. People think all tilt rotor are flying coffins when there is no data to back up those claims.

We've already seen some accidents, and a school is about 100 yards from me. It is only a few people who blast up it, but it is like WTF. Why accelerate when you only have 30 yards before you have to stop. You cannot see people or kids. Edit: Back exhaust and all that, and screeching tires. You can't see a kid running out from your right as the street is small, with all the cars parked. Plus kids coming from school will hang out at the park which is where the dead end is.

  1045. The man was chased by a bunch of strangers. One first tossed an object that he probably couldn't discern. Then right before catching up he was shot. Then an entire angry mob came chasing him. He trips. Mob goes to get on top of him. He fires. Gets hit with a skateboard. Fires at the attacker. Third man comes up who has a pistol I guess? Gets fired on. Wow... I thought the video was going to be much more damning, but he was totally justified in the heat of the moment. I can't even believe this is an issue. 100% self defense. The real question is what were those people attempting to do to an armed person by running up on him in such a chaotic situation (and manner)? He definitely had every right to fear for his saftey. I am liberal. I think this was due to him being right wing. Otherwise no one would be complaining. Good for the Jurors on this one. Been hearing about this case for the last few years, but the media reports I read didn't correctly write what actually went down. I hate biased news. Which is why I have Ground Ne - just kidding

  1049. Agreed and I'm glad the AF finally doesn't have to waste money trying to make it viable. There is still debate on how effective the gun actually was anyway..

We can use the money to design drones that can do the job while also being more proficient.

Squad equipped with ATGMs. Bam you have a SF recon and strike vehicle that can get in, do its thing and get out. Yet you know they are going to want more.

  1058. ​ @getoffthegames89 Alot of people think Hydrogen is an energy producer as well. Even though it is just a storage medium. I think aluminum air batteries will become a thing if we can unlock half the potential. Which correct me is only second to lithium air. I think I seen lithium air holding 12,300 watts per kg. Nearly as much kerosene. With Ai/Air being around 10,000. So if we could get half that we would have over 15 times the storage of a Tesla battery which sits around 260. I think only then it would be worth it outside of niche markets. With renewables becoming cheaper? Producing isn't the issue. Storing and transporting it is. I really wish we'd get some breakthrough in lithium air.

  1059.  @angryox3102  The speed and especially range didn't make it a good choice for ya? I mean I know tilt rotors get an unfairly bad wrap but short of the footprint the Valor beats the Defiant in nearly every way. The footprint is the biggest downside. As far as maintenance goes I don't really see how a co-axial pusher prop helicopter is any less complicated even with a rigid design. I heard they had a lot of problems with the vibrations and Sikorsky had to make some special type of suspension for it. I would love to see the transmission, clutch, and gearing on both craft!

  1060. I saw a UFO with a friend, but this was back a little after Nokia days so no good camera. It was night time and we stopped because I couldn't find my wallet when I see the silhouette of a triangle with four lights. Three on the corners and one dim red that reflected light like a marble in the middle. It was just hovering there and wasn't moving so I told my friend to turn the car off and we are both looking at it seeing if it is moving towards us or what. What is crazy is I could see the silhouette of it against the night sky but hear NO noise! So either it was fucking massive and high in the air or lower to the ground and completely silent. After a good five minutes it took off like it had two modes. Completely still to over the horizon and hill that was a few miles away within seconds and then it came back in sight because it turned 90 degrees east towards the ocean. It was there and gone within seconds and no man could survive that type of acceleration and turn. I doubt any missile could move that fast. My head could barely keep up. A few years later I was online and said what I had witnessed on a forum. What I saw is called the Tr3b. It is a very common UFO spotted and recorded by people which is interesting. I'm not going to sit here and say I know what it was and I don't expect anyone to believe me. If I weren't with someone who also saw it I would think it was my mind or something. I just know I saw it, it was silent, and it moved way faster than any large craft should. I do not know the size of it, could've been helicopter size or as large as a blimp. Anyway if I were the government and it wasn't my aircraft I would be investigating it too. I know I saw it.

  1061. Maybe it has something to do with dark matter or energy? Nah that is an error with our math. Just kidding. Just kidding. What is astonishing to me is just how little we mined with how obsessed we are. Crazy how thin we've always been able to make it. Wait till we get mega lasers using fusion in ten years, and can access deep into earths crust. I also never knew Platinum was worth less than gold now. Shows how ignorant I am. Back on topic. I always thought the theroy was that neutron star super nova were the source of many heavy elements. Not that it came from the previous two generations of stars (Our sun is considered third generation) I wonder if it has something to do with Sol being unusual indirectly. Sol being a 3rd generation star without a sibling, and the way our planets formed with Jupiter being where it is. No super hot Earths closer. I don't think it is totally agreed on why our system is so different. Okay I will leave my dumb at the door. Good day fellas and ladies.

  1064.  @frederickgolden6694  The Apache was made ground up to fight against the Russian tank coloums and military so I don't know where you got this idea its for counter terrorism. One good thing we know is our missiles are FCS are amazing due to trying to limit collateral in counter terrorism operations. Our weapons have shown they are VERY effective against Russian assets... The Longbow and FCS carried by both the Cobra are more advanced compared to our Russian counterparts. Russia can't produce some of the more advanced CPU or parts like precision mirrors for FCS. I know our missiles are just as good if not better and are more reliable. Lots of stories about Russian missiles not working in Ukraine, but no one can agree on what is going on. I am leaning to maintenence. I know the Apache is pretty well armored. Don't know how they compare but it hasn't been good enough because their helicopters are dropping like flies causing them to fire dumb rockets as far as they can to avoid being blasted. I do wonder how effective the ejection seat is, and that's pretty cool but is jt worth the weight and complexity. I think I'd prefer more armor TBH, and use auto rotation. Anyway ill give Russia credit where its due but I would say the Apache is overall the more lethal system. Now it can coordinate with drones and other aircraft as well, and the Cobra shares many systems of the Apache. One thing America doesn't have is a Hind. The Hind is a beaut.

I'll drink it if I need to do so but I'm boiling it. Too many pathogens and that's backed by science. I am generalizing but feel corperate farm cows are probably more prone to pathogens due to them shoving as many animals into one space.

I swallowed X about Y minutes ago and I'm concerned about Z inside it. The only tests I would want done are an X Ray or Ultrasound and I would want solutions on how to get it out NOW. Not fucking lab tests because those tests don't matter if the thing has potential to start leaking or continue to... Those can come later along with observation.

  1068. TSMC itsself is nothing without western technology. ASLM comes to mind which is Dutch. Not sure what American technology is used outside the design/architecture of the chips themselves. Chips aren't going to get any smaller. It is good for the US security wise to maintain advance chips manufacturing just in case even if it will take time, and a crap load of money to catch up. If I were America I would try to snag top engineers from TSMC over by paying them better with better hours. With that said I can't blame Taiwanese for being concerned they might be open if the West was to catch up. Yet it is also hypocritical as they rely on the west to make their chips. Edit - Taiwan needs to get a ton of renewables, and go nuclear. The hell?
    2
  1069.  @dohss  I wouldn't say not nothing. The West is about two generations behind. Five years if TSMC was to vanish. We'd still have most of our stuff working, but supply would be terrible. Since we are hitting the physical laws, and we can't get smaller. There are new technologies in the works that may allow US, China, and even Europe to leapfrog ahead. So TSMC better be the first to get them to work. The West better hope China doesn't crack them first either, because if that happens then they won't lose out on anything if TSMC is crushed.

  1070.  @massemiable  Uh that isn't just what stealth is about. Stealth is about limiting radar range, and TARGET LOCK ON like I said. Yet stealth also includes thermal, electric magnetic, visible light, and noise reduction. Anything to hide from identification for as long as possible. I was just saying an other guy said it was really silent for a helicopter. Which would be one hell of a feat to pull off. You do realize F-22s are spotted on radar and tracked all the time right? It is one thing tracking a stealth aircraft, and an other getting a good enough lock on for a kill. It is said the F-22 can be detected at 200 miles (or nm?), but can only be locked on at 20. By then it would launch its payload and retreat.

An alien trying pretending to be human. Like they are austitic but I don't think they are suppose to be that way. The ISB lady is suppose to act like she does and that's just it - it's a facade. She's trying to be a tough no nonsense person but still vulnerable. That funeral procession song was so epic. Edit : the dissonance or out of tune fits perfectly.

Do you think the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan would have been any different? Or legacy frames couldn't do the same job? Pesky Chinese Balloons would have showed us if not for the F 22! Eh? (Just playing). Tons of projects were canceled due to cost. The F 22 was in development before the USSR fell. We were smart in canceling that after there were no threats available even though it was the best. Building cannons when pistols are good enough is stupid, and many projects get canceled due the price. Quanity does have quality. Just not on its own.

  1078. What I find ironic is that our issue with scram jets outside of materials is keeping them lit. You'd think humans by now would know how to start a fire, and keep it lit seeing how intrinsic fire is to us. Making fires predates home sapient, and we still haven't mastered it. We are natures pyromanics! You'd think keeping it lit would be easy peazy. Anyway I know it is a lot more complicated. Rotating Detonation Engines will be an amazing leap. I'm excited for them. What is weird is we've had scram jets. We've had hypersonic. Yet we haven't made a production plane since the SR 71. (I do believe we've had a successor that is secret.) Solid video as always.

  1084. The last sentence confuses me. You said peace can be made with non Muslims of a different leadership. So if a new Isreal party takes charge then, they can? So that contradicts itsself.

They seem to be gaining traction.

  1085.  @kavisattva  Yeah while I don't want Isreal to go far right, and it is depressing seeing them be like the ones they woe. I always read Arabs or Muslims didn't radicalize till Wahhabism was born. Then it didn't really kick off till the 1920s. Yet I think that is too simple. I am honestly suprised the right wing in Isreal didn't gain as much traction before. I honestly can't say I blame them. Imagine if a bunch of Mexican cartel members took over Mexico. Then launching an attack on the US on Christmas morning killing nearly as much as 9/11, and sending 5,000 rockets in a day. Mexico would have US drones, planes, and troops in Mexico City raiding, and bombing houses with tons of collateral within no time. I think any country would react in a similar fashion quite honestly.

  1089. While I don't think humanoid robots will ever beat out specialized ones. I think you forget one thing... It doesn't matter, because it will eventually still be cheaper to pay for the infrasrructure, and power then pay everything required for humans. Especially when you have a robots that literally just have to download a skill set. Can even have the robots make the infrastructure! We won't have to worry. I will give it fifty years when demographics also start plummeting if we don't reverse that. We will need the robots. A lot of you don't know power demand in the US has dropped since 2007. Year after year basically except for like 2 to 3. So power companies haven't had the need to build, because demand was the same. Capitalism will take over as it is with renewables including geo thermal getting cheaper and cheaper. Battery storage is dropping like a rock as demand soars with no end in sight for any all while battery tech is improving. We will be fine.

  1093. I will still take a subsonic gun. Or an air gun even. Some air guns are insane! Saw one that fired I thought they said .38 yet maybe it was .35. It could penetrate a human mock up skull. It fired at like 1,000rpm. What was insane was the grouping on the damn thing, and the fact it looked like a laser while firing. Just a stream of bullets making this tiny grouping even 50 yards out. All silent too. It isn't like crossbows are silent. Anyway so a militarized airgun sounds better.. With the caveat of if I were to be sent out in the middle of no where with no resupply. In a survival situation crossbows definitely have their advantage. They are Chinese. Where is the repeating crossbow? That changes things if it can load every second or something on its own.

  1094. X engine with free valve if cost isnt relevant. Edit. Meant to say just playing. Gimme a modern turbine, or a rotary. To me it is a shame that F1 limits engine design. We would see a lot more crazy ideas I think. Let us not kid ourselves. Vane engine, and electric motors are the future. Anyone know anything on TFMs? Transversal Flux Motors? I've heard tidbits on their power to weight being the best, but nothing much. Wish he would do more videos on electric too. To me. Anything that produces power is amazing. I would be estatic if someone gave me an air breathing rocket car to be honest.

  1095. ​​​ @AlanTheBeast100  They made it common for high valued items like blood that AND medicine need to be there ASAP where the supply is short. It is niche basically... Great for bumpkin towns across the US where the nearest hospital is a few hours away or your town doctor needs certain medication ASAP. For average consumer items? We will see... Definitely not worth it for groceries or it won't be cheaper than what we have now. Do you really need a phone ASAP? Willing to pay 10$ for some eggs and milk instead of going to the nearest convenient store... The capacity is the issue. I would like to be wrong but it seems niche to me economically. Edit - resteruants we will see. Hear it is still much cheaper for a dedicated driver.

  1100. Oh you mean the 12 year olds? Why would anyone be salty. Oh great they can knock out a poor knock off, great job China. They don't seem to give their pilots except the show case ones a ton of training for one. I'd be more worried about their sixth gen then the J 20. I'm not saying it is a bad aircraft. Certainly better then the SU-57. However it can get spotted first, and I seriously doubt they have the better radar or EW at at the moment . I'm not concerned with the J 20 against the West, now. I'm also more concerned over the land based missile force. Even if the J 20 was 1:1 against the F 22 and F 35 which it isn't - the entire Western doctrine is to choke China off via the straights and gulf of the world, and the J 20 can't reach that far. China doesn't have a tanker force yet. China though has other enemies like India they gotta worry about.

  1101. ​ @heckpeanuts Speak for yourself, local school or state. While I was taught history with an American bias - it is pretty much what you learn here. Which of course there will be bias. Each country teaches their own history with bias. It is actually really interesting when you read about what each place teaches or not teaches... I gotta give it to Germany for their history on WWII. Let us not talk about Japan though. As much as I love history? There is too much to be taught, and NATO secret armies definitely takes a back seat to the broader picture of the Cold War. It didn't play any part more than so many other facts in a decade long stand off. I just learned that the Soviets literally crashed their rover on a moon at the same time of the Apolo moon landing.

Yes it is true, but the government of Iran is considered one of the worse in the world. The world did turn a blind eye to Sadam, and the world is slow to act on such things when it doesn't involve them. They tried rectifying that situation later with Sadam. Look at where it got em. The thing about those missiles though that the government is creating is that they are basically offensive. Not really made to hit a moving enemy are they? The government proudly speaks about destroying Isreal. They need to just chill out with that rhetoric for one. They should come to the negotiation tables. Get those sanctions off, and not build the offensive weapons or especially WMD. (Still build defensive weapons.) THAT way the people of Iran can enjoy the world. Also stop funding some of the terrorist groups that cause troubles in other Muslim countries. Yet I know that won't happen. The middle east is forever at each others throats. I swear if Isreal didn't exist it would just be Muslim killing Muslims all day long. Either hate America, and Isreal - or each other.

  1117.  @newman977  Now I am wondering if the . 50 caliber has any type of speed record. Okay checked. No, lol. Not even the first bullet to hit 2,700fps. Although it was a feat when bullets started going over 2,000fps. With the Lebel in 1886. (Smokeless powder finally being used) Then more aerodynamic bullets like the Spritzer came out in the 1900s crushing feet per second records. Anyway when people use Simons videos as proof of anything. I am absolutely going to use this as an example on being a bad source. His channels are great for further research. So I do appreciate it still, but that oversight was massive! Dumbest thing I ever heard from him for sure.

The Lightning with a higher altitude capability to swoop in and out, but I didn't see turn radius ratings.

  1122. I see these as an amazing solution for. 1) Military. 2) Survival/Remote places. 3) Emeregency workers after a disaster. Being able to produce energy for cheaper in some remote location seems great. Lots of barren places on earth with free sky above! For infrastructure purposes? I sort of doubt it unless these get incredibly big, or fly higher. I mean the whole advantage is to take advantage of high altitude winds right? Yet none of em seem to do it. Nor do generators of any sort seem to be able to handle those high turbulent winds! So even if they could get higher. Could they actually take advantage of it? Dunno. Tidal also has a long way to go. The issue there is simply the cost of installing then more importantly maintaining. The ocean is brutal on equipment. Now that pervoskites and batteries are coming online. Going to be tough for some of the other technologies to get cheap enough to compete. I do hope millimeter wave drilling takes off along with those enclosed loop systems so we aren't spreading toxic shyte already in the ground into the water table.

  1123. ​ @Sp4mMe Yeah these people... "Argh, grids! Inefficient capitalistic American idea!" When the reality is grids can be super efficent, and egalitarian. Especially when you don't have stop lights at every section or main thoroughfares. A spiral city would be cool, with a main route to the center. Other shapes are cool. Personally I do prefer cities made up of natural foot paths, and walkable.. Yet they are usually terrible for driving. It is funny he mentions Houston. I am always told how horrible the main highways and routes are. Anyway grid, circle, or even triangle is still better than Saudi Arabia single LINE city.

  1124. The west needs cheap SHORAD for sure. We cannot be using missiles for cheap drones. I will say the first generation of laser weapons are suppose to be coming online this year with the Stryker. It was suppose to be deployed but keeps getting pushed back for whatever reason. Still that is a dedicated vehicle but it would be nice if most had the ability to use their primary.

  1125. With how fast technology is going making it smaller, sturdy, and less cumbersome would be the goal. Along with battery life and reliability. Wonder if the new optics can be used with the HUD. That would be a game changer. I think the greatest leap should be some exo legs with camera gig third arm for weapons to help carry the weight of about 50/80 pounds. So let's hope all the craze for batteries gets into it. Saw a video about a start up that will use solid state batteries as a structural material so the exo would actually be the frame i's self. Nothing crazy because that's what the military always does.
    2
  1126. Agreed. The Soviets were not stupid, and made amazing designs on some things. Using it as a mini motor just seems... Like common sense to me honestly. Add in the right optics, and hell. Give it a ballistic computer. (Use a smart phone for it to make it extra cheap.) The fact we still aren't making our tanks have ballistic computers to act as artillery in a pinch is just... Wasteful. It isn't like we are short on computer processing power. Shouldn't be expensive, but you know it would add 384,087 extra to the cost of the tank somehow. Anyway the Russians (Not Soviets) killed it in the heavy machine gun department with the Kord as well. Like why can't we make a better 50 cal? The XM program with the XM 307(25mm air burst) and could convert into the XM312 (lightweight 50cal)! Then you had the XM25 which I guess the troops given it loved.

  1127. There is a lot of survivor bias when it comes to that. We don't see all the junk crap that didn't survive. I bet you'd find a lot of stuff in land fills that didn't last. We only see all the stuff that either people took damn good care of, or the rare item that did last. If you want something to last? Stop buying crap items. Also consumers want newer, and better things. More features. More compact. Lighter. More powerful. It all comes at a cost. Few buy for over engineered and reliable things. They buy off TEMU, FFS. Many products like electronics are made to only last X years for sure. Due to the fact it is really hard to make things all these new technologies last, and because they will be obsolete within a few years. Last but not least. Things were WAY more simpler decades ago then today. Anyway with that said screw planned obsolesence! Wish we had laws against that. Anyway vote with your wallet..

  1130. ​ @velikiradojica A war with NATO would have never boiled down to a slug fest of attrition or artillery duels. NATO has a lot of SEAD. Can make corridors. Doesn't need to rely on just artillery. It has fifth gen fighters, stealth cruise missiles, and could attack anywhere in Russia with bombers. Like their ammunition storage and manufacturing. NATO has enough ammo if you include their air forces bombs to have held off Russia. Enough allies with a crap load of ammunition as well like Korea. Russia in the first months would have had those convoys decimated by smart cluster munitions. They would have been lacking ammo surely too. Their entire infrastructure would have been attacked or unsafe. Russia would have also had to deal with NATO naval power attacking all of its shipping too. Russian subs need to get back to Port every few months where they'd be so vulnerable.

Native America supposedly. It always stuck with me. Our area didn't have gangs either. I remember walking with one OG through one part of an other getting weed where we came across like five 14 to 18 year olds. He made us walk around. Was like yo them YN are crazy, and will just do stuff cause. Nah we walkin round. Not trying to get jumped. 2 weeks later I am watching the news, and a Dominos delivery guy was killed. Not robbed. Just killed. Why? Because they were bored. I am positive at least one or maybe two were the ones we were about to walk by while they were chillen on a stoop. None of em have no self respect. Sad cause I wasn't raised like that by even the felons. Somehow lost mentors in the 2000s it seems.

  1136. The issue is any improvement in ICE seems to be marginal while increasing cost and complexity. Motors are 90-98% efficent. They are improving a bit, but aren't as complex. They are balanced. The improvements come in the form of minituarization and longevity. Let us face it. Batteries are what matter. Those are rapidly improving year in and out in every metric too though. For example. CATL just said theyll be making a battery that lasts 1,000,000km with a ten year warranty. With the price not being extravagant. That is the type of improvement I think people are talking about. With that said. I want to see both improve still. That vane engine design was awesome if someone could get it to work. I want to see a revolution. Not an evolution. Where are the sci fi materials damn it? Edit. d4a also talked about a motor that does get this... 800bhp at just 52 pounds. Not sure how long it can hold that peak power before frying. Only top fuel can rival that power to weight. Yet I don't imagine an ICE engine using nitro for maximum power to weight to be a decent daily driver.

  1137. I actually saw something with a friend which somes years later found out it was something commonly seen called the Tt3b. It is a black triangle with three lights and one different one in the middle. Just hovering in place for about five minutes. It was silent yet we could see the silhouette in the night sky, and so that means it was massive at high altitude or totally silent at low. It was hard to tell as there was no references really. Anyway it shot off like a bullet north over the horizon then instantly turned east over the ocean. No human can tolerate those G forces. I won't even say what it was, but it turned my friend into a conspiracy theorist for sure.

  1138.  @justinw8716  Yeah. Hopefully we can set a good example, and get rid of those negative traits I do think we inherently have. Being vain, greedy, war, etc. I think we will get there one way or an other. I honestly not even sure if any advanced race would really want to expand much. Like if we had a matrix we could control. Do anything. Be anyone. Share our world. Taste. And feel more than what life can give. Then why even bother for most of us? We could have robots taking care of us. We could then sit back, and just wait for other species to populate. Then some of us could come out of our shells.

People will pick the lower price one almost every time so airliners are like, "Alright!". Personally I'd rather be uncomfortable for X hours then spend the extra money. Who I'm flying next with impacts my experience more then uncomfortable seats. Wish we could pay extra for, "Nice respectful quiet person." Start having an area for that. To be honest I have met people complain about seats, and sometimes it is like the seat isn't small. You're just fat. I do feel for tall people, as that is out of ones control. Should have seats for short people to tall, and each progressively pays more. That would be fair.

  1145. ​ @animusadvertere3371 Most studies state it takes about 30-60k miles before EVs become better for the environment. That number is coming down significantly as we have first world mines start mining lithium in a more regulated manner. Also improvements in mining, and making EVs. Lithium is also recyacble now.. Gas used in power plants then sent to EVs is a superior way to use the gas we do use. The electric motor is incredibly efficsnf compared to ICE. 3 times as much. Nothing is purely green. What matters is we produce less, and become more efficent with our consumption. EVs are already great for 90% of the world's population. They and renewables are getting better year after year.

  1146. ​ @jameschalkwig787 First you are talking in 20/20 hindsight. That structure obliterated that plane. Pilots surely regretted the choice if they had a chance too.. Water has waves, moves, and catches thing. Ruins your day when it does. Water landings are also more dangerous overall, statistically. There is a reason why the event in the Hudson is called a miracle, and the captain had a movie. I think you only need to go 25mph for it to be similar to concrete by the way. Anyway just saying water landings are not as simple as you think. If it was. I think sea planes would be more popular too, especially as planes become too big for runways. I didn't see if they tried dumping fuel. Usually you try to do that before any crash. Sure as hell doesn't look like they did with that fireball. RIP. I am hoping this was simply an error in the infrastructure. We shall see. I will wait for the entire investigation.

  1148. Volumetric density and storage issues is why it is a joke. The ship for hydrogen sailed when lithium ion started getting better and cheaper. Now the race is for better batteries is on, and unlike hydrogen? They have so much longer for improvement to go. I don't know about you guys, but I don't really like 50% or more of my vehicles space be used for hydrogen. I also don't like worrying about leaks, and hydrogen in gas form leaks more than Lockheed Martin. I'm not saying there won't be any niche markets for it. Only that I would bet my money on battery technologies. And if I could have one energy wish come true? It is that we get 80% of the maximum therotical limit of lithium air batteries! Max therotical limit for those is 12.3k kwh/kg. Nearly as much as kerosene! (That is without air. So it would work much like a regular engine needing atmosphere to run. )

  1149.  @bernardomacara6284  I don't see how that is relevant to what I am saying about hydrogen being a poor choice to power vehicles. So you think using electricity to make hydrogen for cars is better than just using said electricity to charge a car? Uh mate, I hate to break it to you. Making hydrogen takes a ton of electricity. That would be significantly worse for the grid. The national grid can improve. Even using the gas we do have to power a plant for electricity is still more efficent then using it in your car. ICE cars suck at converting power. Power plants are much better, and then you have the entire logisticsl chain of getting gas to where you can fill it up over just sending power through the lines. The power grid in America needs to be modernized and secured anyway. Luckily for us wind at least, and eventually solar have just become the cheapest form of new power!

  1150.  @svr5423  Are you talking about theortical limits? Because I just don't see how you're saying batteries have not improved. Or that the technology isn't developed. Say that to Tesla. Or people in the lab working on newer batteries like Wrights, NASA, AND Ampirus. Are we living on the same planet? Stuck in the 90s when batteries did suck? How can you say the low volumetric density of hydrogen isn't an issue when it takes up most of the vehicle even when pressurized. I don't see millions of hydrogen cars on the road, but I see every single auto manufacturer making and improving BEVs year in, and out. Yet I do see that with electric, and for good reason. I also see a grid that is already there. If everyone in America used an electric car - it would be similar to the power draw of every American turning on an AC. We need 22% more power. Which is easily reachable as we slowly change versus making a whole new infrastructure. So please tell me where are these small tanks of hydrogen that can give a car 500 miles of range? Where are the light hydrogen cars? Oh and you can produce gas at home? How's that drilling rig going. Refining it in your kitchen? Hydrogen isn't there except for niche applications. We aren't even talking about the cons of fuel cells themselves. Like how expensive catalysts are or degradation. I advise you to look into battery technology that people are working on that is moving the technology forward beyond just Li Ion.

  1151.  @bernardomacara6284  I've also talked with others in the energy sector. Sure there are challenges, and it will cost money, but hydrogen isn't the solution. It will be for niche uses. Yeah, we need baseline and peaker plants, voltage support, and frequency controllers. Yet we are also already making ways to combat issues. All the difficulties you just talked about will be fixed as issues come along like it always has. We aren't transitioning in a day. We need 22% more power if everyone in America suddenly bought an EV. Yeah we can do that as BEVs improve. It will be expensive. The grid is already a security risk and desperately needs modernization. Hydrogen cars are still nonsense, and it will be niche. By the way are you against Air Conditioning? Electric cars can draw less than a modern central A/C unit in a large home. 3,566kWh versus 1,500kWh (small house) to 4,950kwH(largder). Electric Furnaces and Electric Heaters take 3,100kwh. It is funny that I never once in my life seen people complain about appliances ruining the grid. Yet suddenly cars will doom us all to the stone age. BEVs plus solar and wind with nuclear just make sense.

  1152. Yeah I am suprisred how dismissive Alex, and especially the Admiral. First time I heard a general be so blunt. Usually they make the enemy seem like the enemy is superior to try to get more funding. Here he is just like, "They are truly stealth as they don't even show up on our threat radar. Flocks of birds around the runway will cause more damage. The losere." Anyway I prefer us not to underestimate our enemies. China was hiring ex pilots, and stealing any information they can get. Yet most importantly they have their hands on super computers along with AI. I imagine it is a lot easier to make iterations with them. It doesn't have to be better than ours to be dangerous. Just good enough, and who knows how fast China will be able to make a fleet.

  1153. Oz for Oz the replacements don't come close. Yeah let's go to Almond Milk because that is sustainable... Any idea how much water almonds need? Even then it doesn't come close in nutrition of macro micro nutrients. Milk is great. Jesus christ people. If you don't like it then that is fine but I find this topic to be heated and it is insane. As someone who is dying and needs to keep up on everything very closely? I've compared and tried to get off Milk due to the phosphorus and yet couldn't find anything close without spending extra money.

  1154. Dracula was based off Vlad IIi Dracula (his father was in the Order of the Dragon. Dracule ironically also means devil.) Anyway Vlad was quite the murderous guy but gave the Ottomans one hell of a time for being in such a weak position. Some herald him as the savior that blunted the Ottomans from taking more of the West. Others say he was a madman who committed genocide. His favorite form of execution was to implement someone with a long steak through the anus leaving them to finally die. Entire villages and roads were lined with his "victims". Some say while he was ruthless and did use fear? That these stories were blown out of proportion by the Ottomons who detested him. He was eventually ambushed, killed, and decapitated. I'm no historian but one thing I can say? He lived an interesting life and you should read about him. He definitely left a legacy for what was essentially looked on as a backwater. Romanians love him and his castles are pretty fucking cool if I say so myself.

  1155. Change won't happen overnight. Sadly the cartels have so much power there from what some who lived there tell me. Getting worse in many ways since the violence to innocence can be unreal and the local government is either too weak to do much or corrupted themselves. "Before it was gang on gang violence. Now you can be killed just because someone can". I know this has also stopped investors. Yet as an American I want more stability and peace on our side of the world period. Mexico, Brazil, and especially Argentina should be up there in the most powerful and successful countries. I have high hopes that will happen in my life time.

  1156. I don't mind longer videos. I do mind filler though. I've also noticed I really appreciate good editing like our pal here. Clear consice information without treating us like children. If I fucking have to listen to how a battery works just to see how X breakthrough will change everything I will lose my mind. It will be four minutes of that, three minutes of the actual breakthrough, and two on why it isn't ready for commerical use.

  1157. Yeah I am a knowledgeable laymen, but don't understand how people much smarter than I can take a look at hydrogens volumetric density, and think, "Yeah, perfect. This is totally the energy of the future." Look I am not saying it won't have any niches. Yet I think if Hydrogen had any future as a storage medium for vehicles? That ship has sailed due to the myriad of battery technologies constantly improving I don't know about you guys, but I actually like 50% of my vehicles space not being used up for fuel. Also then the whole leakage issues. Side note. What is truly wild with hydrogen is how a liter of water holds more hydrogen then cryogenic liquid hydrogen! Now if some break through in some nano material that allows us to store hydrogen with the same density as water, and we figure out a way to break the bonds? Sign me up. Anyway unless that happens I see no solution to it. It was dead on arrival as far as fuel for driving is concerned. Battery technology has so much potential. Lithium Air is the energy break through I'm hoping to see happen. 12,300ish Kilowatt Hours per kilogram. That is nearly on par with kerosene, but with the benefit of using an electric motors effiency. Nuclear Power needs to find ways we can copy, and paste the plants so they don't go 100 billion over budget.

  1158. ​ @rconger24 He was basically saying. Our generation of cars is nothing like how it was in the past. These days year after year car makers make some type of upgrade (ha). The new Corolla is basically a brand new design. No duh right? They aren't the same from the previous year. Where something like a Model T was made year in and out with basically no changes. It was built in 1909 to 1927 I think. It did get colors eventually, and an electric starter in 1919. Outside a few changes it was basically the same vehicle. The VW type 1 (aka the Beetle... Beatle? The Buggie.) sold more. The original VW Beetle was produced forever across the world in its original specs forever. I don't know for how long. 1938 to until fairly recently as some poorer countries kept it in production or something. Anyway that was what he was trying to say.

Then Micron with their massive factory in NY. I thought there was a few others out west but can't remember. Samsung I believe is expanding. Hopefully we can catch up. While the newest chips won't really benefit me - they are important for AI I guess so I'm glad we are getting into gear.

  1166. Governments are not a singular entity, and at least the new ones are trying to fix it. Hopefully. I want to know how the oil refineries, and car companies got away with it just from the public, and scientific community at large. The politicians in charge who were told the truth, but didn't want to disrupt sales or disrupt their bribes should be tried for crimes. What I find sad though. Is car guys, or blue collared workers constantly complain about emission equipment, and big government. Yet also complain when the government doesn't act. So I love this guy. A car, and engine enthusiast with a straight head. He doesn't seem biased. Next up biofuels! (Actually I know why we do it. They aren't good for your engine from what Real Engineering has said. Not the enviroment. Just there to give corn farmers a market.)

  1171. The internet is only going to get worse right now! Having countries have their own is just the start. Also you don't need to use a lot of the main apps. There are alternatives and if there isn't? Well sucks to be you. I honestly don't give a shit if a company has my information to use their free product. Keyword in that sentence is free. What bothers me is the fact you go to buy a product that isn't even a service. For example a single player video game - and somehow don't own it? Things like that bother me. You don't even know that there are terms until you buy the product which is an other issue.

  1172. Yeah it is the most ridiculous tbing ever. Not I am not fully knowledgeable on the issue. While I don't think John Deere should have to give information, schematics, etc etc freely.

"You're paying to use it but it isn't yours!"

  1173. He like many Americans uses both. Which is annoying. Especially when talking to aviators and mariners who are American. Going only about 20 knots with wind to the stern with a 2 liter of coke and only a few gallons in my gas tank. The weather was about 100f in the sun but the wind was blowing at about 10 mph. Then got home which is about 20 miles and had to pick up a gallon of milk and an ounce of weed. Made it just in time to see Brady throw an other 90 yard pass too! Went to bed at o'22. - Some American in the Navy. Quite honestly you have to learn both. I wish we would convert except for Celsius. 0 is cold and 100 is hot. 50 is just right. Thought the British also use imperial at times no?

  1174.  @SgtBeltfed  Yeah exactly. I wasn't 100% sure if any side was using the old RPG. I have seen videos claiming X or Y was hit by an RPG 7. Yet every layman online thinks every rocket propelled weapon fired is a RPG 7 even when it is actually something newer. You answered a question for me too, thanks! While typing I was like, "Wait. Explosives and rockets expire. Are they really using decdes old RPG-7 ammo or is someone making new ones? Who the hell would be making old versions when newer ones exists? " So thanks for saving me time looking it up. Yeah when looking up if some of the armor was effective. They listed it was helping mitigate against 2lb drones. You wouldn't happen to know if that means the drone weighs 2 pounds or it is about the weight of the explosives?
    2
  1175.  @SgtBeltfed  Yup I was thinking that no way a 2 LB drone is carrying something signifant. Yet I've never actually handled any of the drones they are using. I just couldn't think of what warhead that is 2lb that they are repurposing to arm them. So you most likely just answered that question. I was trying to see what an average explosive was to see what would be 2lb. I was getting javelin size which says weighs 19 pounds for the warhead! Other warheads were much heavier as well. I was way off. Anyway thanks for a second time!

  1176. I don't like how he didn't compare it to the alternatives much. Last 4 years have been wild weather wise, but geopolitically making oil prices sketchy. Between the Red Sea/Isreal, Russia, Venezuela, etc. Worlds a mess even if we are seeing peak US oil production balancing it out. Wind Turbines are still better than gas even if predictions are off. A company lying about the real cost, unheard of! Sounds like a regulatory problem too. Other countries are doing well. Too bad we don't go nuclear. I am just waiting for pervoskites to go mainstream. Batteries prices are dropping significantly for energy storage as well, and so many technologies being tested. Only issue I have with nuclear is how centralized it is.

Yet during the tour we had to show every process!" No one in the modern world is going to show off their slaves. I am not saying BYD or some other high tech companies use them. Yet China definitely uses them as slaves, has concentrate camps, and has forced labor in places. There are many reports on it.

In fact last time I seen a snail it was being eaten alive by ants. Edit: Not sure about the whole acidic thing not hurting them though.

  1182. Yeah the volume is the issue that will never he solved. Sure 33k Kilawatts per 1KG sounds amazing until you realize that is 24 Liters give or take under SEVEN HUNDRED BAR. So now we have a tank that isn't only flammable, but a bomb as well. So 24 liters will get you 100 miles give or take or something around that. Great. I don't know about you, but I actually like my vehicle to have space outside of fuel. Maybe if we could triple that? Sure. Now we are talking. Liquid hydrogen is a joke. Yeah let me just cool that tempature down to around -240c. Easy Peazy! What is crazy is that a liter of water holds more hydrogen atoms then pure liquid hydrogen? I don't understand that. Just read that. Now if we could figure out a storage medium that can hold more hydrogen then liquid hydrogen, and separate it? That would be awesome!

  1183. @rosewallow2214  One. I know exactly what manifest destiny is. It is totally unrelated to what we are talking about now in modern times isn't it? Honestly you think people were going out west for religion like some great crusade? Then you are quite something else, and have no right to talk about nuance to anyone. People did it for the land its self. You could go out and make your own life, or even try your luck at gold. Using religion as the cherry on top and was a convenient excuse to justify their actions. Capitalism is not created by Protestants work ethic. I won't say protestants didn't have a role to play seeing that our society stems from England, but it seemed from the dissolution of the mercantile class, and the industrial revolution. Again what does the 18th century religious beliefs or capitalism have to do with modern Islam, and its proliferation of violence in modern times? Are you really going to defend them, and other groups like them? Who ever brought race into this anyway? Maybe you should put down Mark Weber books, and actually learn something since Islam is not a race. I'm part NA. Only fools bring up things centuries ago to justify their actions today. People have solid reasons for having a predilection towards disliking Islam. Christianity as a whole at least has attempted to change for the better. Islam seems to be reverting back to worse times. By the way capitalism has uplifted more people in terms of wealth, health,, and food than any other form of socioeconomic government. We also live in the most peaceful time ever.

  1184. Sure we could compress air. Or build gravity batteries. Or flywheels. Pumped hydro. Water batteries. The question is which is cheapest. I think there are certain battery technologies that are becoming available now that are cheaper than other technologies. Wait till metal air batteries become available! Jeff Bezos is putting money into Iron Air for energy storage. Once they start becoming large scale we won't even be asking ourselves what to use. Lithium Air for cars. Iron Air for energy storage. Then things like FPV cells, and molten salt to recycle heat waste into energy.

  1185. Multiplication is simply about adding what is inside a group together. I have two cases of beer with six beers in each. How many beers do I have? Twevle! Which translates to 2x6. Now we drank nearly all the beers, so I go home, and grab the last pack. Now I only have a single pack with a single beer. One pack has one in it. So 1x1 = 1! Just ONE beer. I have ONE beer left Terrence damn it! Which is not enough beers for the stupidity you've unleashed onto the world. We aren't counting the packs, but the beers! Terrence and others are confused on what multiplying is about. They are making up their own mathematical arithmetic, and calling it multiplication. They simply don't know the language, and due to this. Terrence went down a rabbit hole minstranslating everything due to weak fundlementals he built his thoughts on. Then his arrogance cannot concede his whole shtick is built off a foundation of LIES.

  1190. ​ @sarajuanaict Yeah I heard thoughty2, myself, and just went along with it as I never look at YouTube names. Till someone pointed it out. I know my reasons! I have a slight case of APD. Auditory processing disorder. I was deaf for the first year or so of my life due to ear infections, and dumb doctors. It means I can hear sounds perfectly. My mind however decides to mix words up. It is most apparent when trying to figure out lyrics for a song. I totally mix up the words, especially in rap. A lot of people go through their lives without knowing it. It is also normal to confuse close words anyway. It is just worse for us that is all. So if I don't focus my mind substitutes for other words. An example is learning a new language. Sometimes it is even difficult to decipher when one word stops, and an other begins. Words can become a string of babble sometimes when I cannot begin.

  1191. The water hyacinth needs modern industrial techniques. A decent sized boat that can scoop them up to put into a place to dry. Get a machine to grind it and put the corpses of that heathen plant back into the water for nutrients or something.

The funniest thing about colonial expansion is how such a small population took on the world, because their rule wasn't exactly worse depensing on the culture. They exploited the locals own culture, the infighting between tribes, or just used their own nobels corruption. I mean were the Europeans worse than the Aztecs who sacirificed thousands upon thousands? Ehh Slaves came from Africa, from Africans, and entire African civilizations got filthy rich off it. Johnny makes it sound like Europeans conquered peace loving perfect utopias. Brought sin to them too.

  1195. Yeah unless we can make some Boron Nitrate nanotubes or something the way of plate armor is going to end. It either is too heavy to be practical for any defense. Curious on how reactive armor would be on a ship. Ships still can take a ton of damage though. You still want it sturdy enough so no regular missile can pierce towards the fuel and ammo. Anyway first generation lasers are now coming online so maybe there is hope that our carriers aren't just sitting ducks. I forsee small ships who's only role is to carry anti air and sea defenses. Three layers - missiles for range - lasers for medium to short ‐ 35mm/70mm automated turrets with AHEAD ammo for last resort. The Italians are going to try to upgrade their 70mm naval gun to 200rpm and say it can take out missiles. Hell maybe they can design some ship trophy system too. Personally I wish we focused more on submarines. Aircraft carriers are great but they are like putting all your eggs in one basket.

So it probably will not go away, but we are looking hard for things to replace it so we can keep Moores law chugging along. Honestly biological chips might be a thing too. Lots of benefits if we can get them to work. That will bring up so many more questions on what is life if we have robots who process information using organic processers!

  1207. Hear me out. How about. We negate this range tug of war. By putting Personal Defense Cannons on air craft. Essentially a turret that can shoot down missiles, much like a trophy system. Yet with guns. We do have the tech to do it. If we could find people smart enough to combine the sensors, a turret accurate and reactive enough. Combine the turret with proximity ammo with a uniform spread. (Like the AHEAD ammo Germany makes.) We have smart bullets that can change trajectory. Why not. Bam. Have aircraft with turrets that can pop out, shoot down missiles, and pop back in. This system already needs to be made against drones for tanks and helicopter ASAP. Literally every branch of the military would benefit immensely from that technology. We need to do it. We already are sort of making it for lasers.
    2
  1208.  @spartanonxy  You're thinking too big mate. Think helicopter turret size. We already had planes with turrets in the past. F15ex has been known to have over 12 missiles. Technically 22 structurally max according to Boeing. We definitely could design a turret that is aerodynamic when not in use or one to fit in a weapon bay, or wing that conforms with the aircraft. With modifications of course, and not for every aircraft. Like an F 35 wouldn't be able to have one plus offensive weapons at the same time. Yet it could fly in a squadron with one defending the others. Or a drone wingman with them. No it would not be simple. Yes it means less missiles. Yet it also would mean you could defend yourself. Missiles are pretty sensitive during flight. When AHEAD ammo explodes it sends the tungsten fragments in a uniform pattern covering a wider area. A flak PDC using it would create a temporary wall of tungsten with a high probability of damaging the missile enough to miss. You use the missiles kinetic energy against it. PDCs will be the future. Mark my words. For ground vehicles and some air. I think some are already working on it. I hope China isn't. It is worth pursuing. Even if it is just against slower stuff.

  1210. We use both which quite honestly so stupid on daily life. Yet I think if I was going to stick to my guns I will ignore Celsius. I haven't found out why we should switch to that. Yet everyone in America and England uses a combination of all by shopping ALONE.

  1211. The EX is more expensive than the F-35 which is stupid. I think we need a cheap, rugged, primarily strike attack craft with long loiter times and can carry an a ton of ordance. Let the stealth craft gain air superiority and then bring in ground support craft that can operate on horrible airfields.
    2
  1212.  @ericfredrickson5517  The airframes are slowly dying mate. I'm all for making them into decoy/drone missile carriers. It won't matter much if the jet suddenly breaks in half because there would be no pilot. (short of the ordinance and crashing on something, but I don't see how that's any different than being shot down). Use them till their last breath seems kind of fitting to me for my favorite aircraft. Still I think if we gave engineers the keys to build a dedicated attack aircraft they'd build something that surpasses the A-10 in all areas with all the new advandcemsnts in materials, engines, and computers. Again cheap, reliable, long loiter, big paypoad, STOL, and survivability. Give it a 125mm turret this time around. Haha JP on the last part but that would be epic and terrifying for enemies knowing one is in the vacinity.

  1216. A friend and I saw something like this in Groton CT in about 2007. I remember seeing the light and shape and was like WTF? So we stopped and turned off the car. It was standing still for a half a minute before doing crazy acceleration. There was no noise yet you could see the silhouette on a dark night. So I was confused. Either it was massive up high or silent AF. I just know it went from floating above us to going over the horizon and towards the Atlantic. I won't speculate yet both saw it. The light in the middle was like an infrared light. Red.

  1220. People think the grid cannot keep up, and talk about lack of infrastructure. I think they forget it is driven by private demand, and electricity demand was either a small increase per year or dropping. We never needed a large production, because every year our stuff became more efficent. Look at electricity demand from 2008 to now. For many years it kept dropping. Therfore our private power companies had no reason to invest or build. Afterall they are for profit, and over building is a waste. Basically what I am saying is there was no demand. Now that there will be more demand the power companies will see this opportunity to get richer, and kick into build mode. Praise be capitalism. The big AI companies are already making their own power from what I understand. Google is going for even geothermal. The nice thing about the Sun is that it not just produces solar or wind. It over produces it. We have more than enough sun to run AI.

  1221. 14.5mm is so underrated and underutilized! Seen a picture of a technical. Pretty sure the gun could out range the suspension on that tiny ass truck, haha. Crazy bastards. The guy was basically had to fire it hanging outside the bed. I've seen enough to not doubt the potential of it to cause havoc. I wouldn't want it driving at me with Muhammed the 8th, on a drugged stoked Jihad praising Allah. You see Allah hates me, and I would absolutely get sharpnel taking out my left leg, right testicle, and somehow a pebble through my teeth. Anyway feel like it is a perfect round since 20mms are so bulky and heavy that it is like you might as well go bigger. With a 14.7 you can outrange so many other guns, carry more ammo, and still be fairly mobile. Shout out to the Kord. Russia might be blowing it on other systems, but she isn't just lighter yet arguably better than the m2. The US should have kept the XM program going with the ability to go from .50, to a 25mm grenade. Those grenades looked amazing.

  1223. I remember an other solar company lab pulling numbers like this. It went like. Since the sun can produce 1,350 watts per square meter, but usually averaging 1,000 watts. With average solar panels getting 200 watts. Having a double increase will means it will get a gazillion more power over the course of a year. It all adds up to even more power than double! And none of it made a lick of god damn sense! It is still only double the power. I say only - I mean 40‰ is amazing especially if they are cheaper. Yet that is besides the point. Those people were liaaaars!

You're also talking about two different classes. The priest versus masons. Masons seem to have always been secretive I guess. Not everyone cared for the laborers who built things, and rarely seemed to write about it. Instructions on giving a better afterlife is a hell of a lot more important to your average Egyptian, and priest I am betting.

The issue though is when people act on their prejudice and won't look past their stereotypes. Yet if you look like a bum, a slut, a thug, KKK member, and sketchy? Expect people to judge you because that is how you present yourself. I can't blame Isreal and good for them to not apologize for it. If I were Arabic I wouldn't blame them either. Fuck I dressed like a thug for the longest time and didn't blame police or teachers either for thinking I was up to no good. You have eyes and ears for a reason and sadly generalizations are real.

Short of terrible practices I don't care how my food is made - I'm in it for the taste and quality. If some fraken fruit spliced up by mad scientists? I'll happily eat that and use the extra money for something else.

  1249. Funding was halted. Yet! Japan was looking to do a joint venture this past year with the US military, or with our contractors like BAE who worked on it. So the project isn't exactly dead. Just halted while we prioritize other things like missile defense. So hopefully they either do a hybrid chemical/em gun as gun powder has a physical limit on how fast it can push a projectile. Yet this would mean ships would have to carry explosives which is one key reason the Navy wanted the regular rail gun program to work. Or thet should try to do a coil gun as I have read while coil guns are harder to make work in some regards. They don't have their barrels suffer as much damage which was the biggest issue I was told timing is the issue with pushing the barrel at the exact moment. Yet that cannot be true. We have massive particle accelerators that push things 99% the speed of light. Surely we can time a coil gun.

Usually something is deeply wrong. Both internal and external. Sometimes with the past, present, and future bothering them. I can't work. I have double organ failure. Yeah it bothers me. Nah, I can't man up. Being sick is a full time job with dialysis, and doctors visit. Not even allowed to drive medically. I need a scooter to grocery shop, because my blood pressure drops below 70 randomly. My advice that I think people forget. Is doctors are people, and not all are good. You need to find one that works for you regardless of profession. I almost died by just going with the first doctors. Then I was saved by finding good ones. So that advice is universal. I can't stress how bad some therapist or doctors can be.

It was in Groton, CT. Which has a sub base. I won't comment on what it was but I know what I saw, and it went from hovering to going so fast while having no sounds.

  1258. While it is very capable. I've heard it seems to have targeting issues, aquiring, and hunting issues. I guess even the M version isn't that great relative to western targeting systems. Right now the majority of their missions are just being rocket artillery since they are so vulnerable to MANPADs. (I'm under the belief ALL helicopters are really vulnerable). Countries including the US need to make helicopters snipers and more indirect fire capabilities at range. Being able to kill over 5km out more often would be key to use terrain as cover against a MANPAD counterstrike. If helicopters could have AI target for them while the gunner just had to touch a touchscreen with the video and graphic overlays on it? That would be cool. That way a helicopter could come in and blitz targets, unloading at different targets in minutes. The military really needs to take a peak at video game controls and overlays(graphics). Also a trophy system. Alright I'm dreaming!

  1259. No absolutely not. It would be a terrorists wet dream to cause havoc at a major port if they decided to blow it up. A US cargo ship for military and other vital supplies sure. Icebreaks sure. I am all for nuclear energy but don't trust half the governments who are capable of using it to keep it the genie in the bottle with something so potentially harmful. Build nuclear plants to create hydrogen for ships. That sounds like a better idea to me. Then the plants would be guarded on land and ships can come and go as they see fit. Still waiting to see sails come back into the mix. If they save 20% in fuel it seems like a no brainer.

  1267. Yeah. It was dead on arrival. Love or hate him LazerPig has some great view points and makes fantastic points. Long story short - great concept but the chassis was designed around the engine. The engine is archaic and was originally a Nazi WWII design that the Russians then modified in their own after the war. It has always been unreliable and they thought they could improve on it. This is the main reason why it kept getting delayed and they went ahead with the project thinking the new engine would be out. Yet with Russian brain drain after the collapse they can't. They don't have the talent or the necessary manufcaturing capabilities to produce one and specialized tools required for precision engineering is now cut off to them. So they are stuck with a chassis that can only use one engine and that engine sucks. The Chinese tested the Armata and nothing worked. The elecontrics are basically ones we can buy now. Russia doesn't have the capability to produce current gen optics or chips. The gun and unmanned turret are all great concepts with room to upgrade to a 150mm. Good concept. The idea of having everything on a heavy armored platform is not a good idea. Heavier armor means fuel and fuel means more logistics - more trucks and personal to get those supplies to these gas guzzling monstrosities. So it would be a huge weakness if every weapons platform was armored like a tank. Corruption and brain drain really really really caught up to Russia and it is only now we are seeing through it.

  1275. BEVs in the next few years will make both internal and hybrid cars dumb. Why buy a complicated parallel hybrid when you can buy a BEV with solid state batteries. In 2027 to 2028 solid state batteries will be in full swing production. These batteries will offer battery electric vehicles to be the same weight as internal combustion with all the glory of the superior tech - the electric motor. Hell axial flux motors are becoming cheaper too. Soon we will have 500 mile EVs with insane horse power to weight ratios, instant torque, and the benefit of being able to charge from your home. Few people drive 4 hours a day straight. (Under 40 miles a day for the average American. ) Oh let us not mention the benefits of solid state like faster charging. The only hybrids companies should be making now are series hybrids. Where the internal combustion is just a generator for the battery. This allows you to drop the transmission in favor of the electric motor which is inherently balanced. No need to balance the engine with some oddly shaped crank case either. It is crazy only China embraces BEVs while Americans and Japanese insist on keeping inferior technologies going. Doubling down on internal combustion. Fools. Short sighted fools.

  1280. When 3d printing becomes better then definitely for smaller blades. For grid? Right now cost is everything... It just wouldn't make sense when you can purchase much larger designs of a less efficent design for the same price. Afterall the bigger/taller the blade the more power you get by a big factor. It is why we've constantly pushed for bigger standard designs. For example the world's biggest design is coming out at 140m. Just making the blades 10m bigger of the previous record holder netted you 2 more megawatts. Once we hit the limit where going bigger is no longer feasible or wanted then definitely. When that happens I have no idea. China will launch a turbine with some truly monstrous blades at 140m and over 50 tons a piece. Generating like I said 18 megawatts total. Soon we will have ones that are skyscraper tall at 150m plus! Wild.

Absolutely hate the interior look and touchscreens just don't have that tactile feeling nor are they easier to always navigate. Better then a touch pad though hahaha. Seen some guy in a 140k Benz showing how difficult it was to change the heated seats and it was quite the process. Would take a master to do that while driving haha.

  1285. Sure, but the thing is. Training matters. Like they are going to need significantly more training to get the benefits out of it. You can get use to it. They are sticking a glider pilot into a cockpit with HUD, and such, and expecting them to do better with little training it seems. You gotta be careful of information overload. Give them the best NGVG/Thermals. Magnifying abilities. The advanced sound that filters and amplifies. With the ability to use a camera mode connected to the gun to shoot around corners. Oh, and that new technology that gives you a spot to aim so you don't have to calculate ballistics when shooting. The auto aim scope. Basically priority is to 1 identify enemies, and first shot capabilities above all.

  1286. No it makes perfect sense for a stop gap. With technology moving so fast it might not make sense to make orders for 2k airframes just to have them out dated in five to ten years. Not like upgrading airframes is cheap. We are spending a fortune doing it. We are on the verge of Hypersonic and RDE (engines). We are on the verge of aircraft that use no flight surfaces that will help stealth designs immensely. Forgot the name. Air to air seems to be highly dependent on who detects who first, and can reach out further. Which means big sensors, and a big interior bay for larger missiles. A war against China means we need extra range. You can't fit that into a fighter. So I've been questioning wouldn't it be amazing if the B21 took over as a missile boat for a2a. We know if has great sensors as it's job is also for recon, stealth signature, and large enough bay to carry missiles. It could literally dominate a2a along with something like the F 35. (Ya know if it can target and fire at multiple aircraft using the F 35 sensors. Or a recon drones. ) Anyway I think the AF is pushing for autonomous aircraft. Where manned aircraft are there as directors if you will. We don't have enough pilots. Think 600 short at the moment. So having drones to fight China who has a massive population advantage is paramount. So I think this is the future for sure. Long gone are the dog fights of the past or need for insane agility.

  1287.  @aerodroo  For a second I thought you were saying it was a Hippo violation, and I was like WTF. I worked at a pharmacy and would call up regulars. Where is the line crossed. I said Hippo on purpose due to the amount of training I had to take and how bloated it is just being a clerk. God forbid someone else hears me confirm they just needed X and Y medication with someone behind me. At this rate we will be whispering in people ears.

  1289. Why not bring them back down. Find it odd they just keep em up there. When he said it loses altitude at 100 meters I thought he was going to say a year... Not A DAY!? That is crazy fast! Now I need to know how much fuel they use to keep it up per year. Or how long it would stay in orbit before being ripped apart. Next station needs to one. Modular and easily upgradable. Also we need to start testing at least a small habitat that is spinning on a tether to something... I know the gravity wouldn't be the same, but we need to at least start testing to see the effects on the human body with artifical gravity designs.

  1292. While I love history... The thing is it doesn't matter what you use to make but what you can create NOW. So just because they use to make solid vehicles doesn't really mean a thing. I have no knowledge so I can't pass judgment on quality. I just know shoot and scoot is the future of artillery. Unless you have a range advantage a static location seems so vulnerable due to being able to easily locate artillery whether it be drones or radar. Towed artillery seems like it takes ages to set up and relocate even though they are cheaper to make and maintain. So being able to move to a location, fire for a few minutes, and booking it will be very important.

  1299. It would be good for one sector in aerospace. Weapons! No need for a rechargeable batter for your missile. You want small size, specific power, tough/reliable, and longevity. For cars and even planes? How about we focus on Lithium Air. Lithium Air IS rechargeable, and can hold more therotically. In fact no other known battery chemistry can hold more power. Something like 12,2500 kwh/kg with air excluded (like how a jet draws oxygen from the air). Half that if you include oxygen. That is the maximum therotical limit though which is impossible to get. So half that efficiency which should be possible would grant us 2.5k and 5k kwh/kg which would change EVERYTHING. Sure batteries will never hit the power per kg of fossil fuels. Yet they definitely exceed it in cost of power, and we could just have more flights with planes that carry less, and more frequently. It maybe better as more planes would be flying giving us, the consumer, more flights to choose from and for cheaper. Since electric motors are also superior in terms of maintenence... (flights will be slower. I don't see electric jets reaching 90% of the speed of sound anytime soon.)

  1301. Was it? Out of all the technologies I wish we could declassify short of the TR3B which I've also seen back in 2007ish in Groton CT with a friend which was stupid silent and this. Also the TR3B was incredibly fast - zero to near supersonic in a blink of an eye. No sonic boom, which makes me wonder if they do have some noise canceling technology, or somehow they fly with a pitch outside of human hearing. You're the first to say it was super quiet. So now you really piqued my interests! Always wondered how stealthy they are. When I first heard of a stealth helicopter I thought it was the dumbest concept ever to be honest. Helicopters as we know it are going to go obsolete in the next few decades anyway, or should since they are hitting theroitcal limits. Maybe get a few more like the new small scout helicopter, but that is it. Tilt powdered aircraft are superior.

  1302. ​ @djoswald9128 That or they can function in a Hz range outside of human hearing. Would be cool if they could send or project waves to cancel out certain sounds ahead of something. I've seen the TR3B with a friend. Thing was completely silent! It also took off like a bullet - no acceleration. Seemed like it basically hit super sonic, but no boom. While I didn't see the turn it must have banked at a right angle as it was only out of sight for a split second. It all happened in seconds just about. Years later one of my exes I told the story to freaked out, and asked me if that is what we saw since it fit the description. Sure enough it is. I was shocked when I saw Sandboxx of all places freaken reporting on it! Let alone Alex seeing it. Only place I completely trust with information and no propaganda.

  1303. Yeah I am not convinced acid is not responsible for many designs dating back from the 50s through 70s. Acid and a large defense budget. I mean do you think this was actually talked about at a meeting between the engineers and military brass? How did it go? "It will just be shy of 600 feet. It will have what we call parasitic fighters it can be deployed from its wings. Don't ask how we get the pilots in or out from the canopy. It will be powered by not one nuclear engine... Not two... BUT EIGHT. Those commie bastards won't know what hit them." Wont they know exactly what hit them being so big? What happens if it is destroyed. "Well... Uhh yeah. Ummm" Anyway I am hoping it didn't get any further than that.

  1307. ​ @doctort2853  You're reaching so hard. "Not fair to judge them because they are self reliant and barter". What does that mean? No one is crapping on those who are poor. Yet they are poor. That is why they are trying to leave their rural villages with barely any plumbing for better lives in droves! So they have access to everything we take for granted. Those rural places in China still exist and is nothing like the western world. No one is saying they will be like that forever either but it is what it is now - not what it will be in the next two decades once the wealth trickles in. Which probably will slow down as China ages due to their one child policy. Poor is poor. The disparity in China of the haves and have not is quite massive. GDP is a measure of wealth per person but not the means. There arenstill millions of subsistence farmers barely scratching by and not really giving much to the nation as a whole.

Now flip that with how many Americans claim they have native blood? Basically everyone! I mean I'm one third from Cherokee and Blackfoot.

An automated turreted system that can track, target, and shoot down incoming projectiles from missiles to drones in a fraction of a second. If you ever seen the Expanse you know what I am trying to say. If I were the DoD I would be investing heavily into the technology, because it would help everything from helicopters to even something like a HMMV. Maybe going the explosives like a Trophy system is better, but at least with a gun it can be used around friendly troops. We have the technology already too. It would be more about putting each component together with amazing software.

  1313. Benefits to pervoskites has always been in cost of manufacturing. Well it was! The extra efficiency is just icing on the cake. I remember hearing when I first learnt about them eventually we should be able to print it for dirt cheap. If they can get rid of the degradation problem. Yet maybe since basic pervoskites cannot be used, and it requires some alloy or combination of materials. Maybe the companies are shifting to sell them as a more efficient panel, but keeping the cost.

  1314. ​ @L0st-n0found Agreed. Iam an EV guy. They'll only get better. I think 2025 EVs are good enough for the majority of people honestly. Especially with solid state batteries coming up. EXCEPT for everything else about EVs. They need to work on fast chargers, and logistics for supply chains. It literally doesn't matter how good EVs get if you cannot repair them or charge them. In that regard EVs do suck. Anyway these new battery chemistries should mitigate a lot of issues including fire risk. Some will last 600k miles apparently with no degradation. Can't wait for axial flux motors to be used too. Some are crazy.

Once Lithium Air with densities of 2k kw h/KG, to 12,000 kw-h/kg? The world would be set! It will never hit 12k k wh/kg as that is the therotical maximum. Yet 50% of that is achievable. Hydrogens issue is the volumetric density.

  1316. I wonder how much advantage the jungle gave the Vietcong. Like did the jungle work for helicopters or against them. Especially curious with modern optics found on helicopters. On one hand spotting someone in the jungle is hard but that foliage also gives YOU cover as most infantty missile systems cannot penetrate foilage. Same thing though the enemy can use it as cover and use locations where they have LoS. Nothing like having a 25 to 57mm blasting though the canopy at ya I suppose.

  1317.  @HyperboreanAnchovy44  I know what it is. Are you going to say it is an accurate way to fight? I saw reports where they just randomly sent it with seemingly no regard to what they were hitting completely missing anything or being far off. Do the pilots have enough training or enough time to do it properly? It isn't easy to do especially when you know the enemy may have missiles. They would just fly low, lob em, and turn around while using flares.

  1318.  @HyperboreanAnchovy44  Didn't realize they had a system that calculated it for it. Wonder how it looks and works by the crew. I can see the usage but from the reports a lot of times it seems to be ineffective. Like they are missing their sectors ineffective. Of course you don't want to be sitting around. That's just blatantly dumb regardless of what weapon they are using it. Like I said they havent been using their helicopters effectively from all reports. Admittedly it's harder to find non biased information but there is a video of a Russian soldier complaining about it while being shelled themselves.

  1319. Cyber Truck is great for what it was designed for. What are you on about? It is insanely fast compared to regular trucks. Steer, and ride like a dream for a truck. Can haul some gardening soil and groceries, and a love seat. Just suburban lyfe stuff. Has enough off road capability to get to point A to B with the right tires. Can beat sports cars at lights. Sucks at towing due to relying so much on aerodynamics for range. I see no issue as this for a technical in a pinch or a scout if you got one available. The future is hybrids, because they use less fuel, and the electric motor is superior to ICE in every metric just about. How Ryan didn't understand why you'd convert fuel is crazy. Well it is because even Diesels are inefficent. Ryan might not know this, but hybrids literally get more range with the same amount of fuel. They also can run in stealth mode to mask noise and thermal signatures by going on battery only. They are efficent when standing by. The power to weight, and torque is basically unmatched with many motor designs. The regenerative breaking on heavy vehicles is insanely good. Almost every state of the art vehicle is going that way. From some small tankette like drones that is a pure EV to the new Abrams X demonstrator which is a hybrid. Batteries still aren't there yet, but electric motors are insane when it comes to power and weight with the instant, and powerful torque. Slap a small generator in the back with the right connections, and bam. Get more range. PS just to add. DoD is funding things like Liquid Engines X Engine for most likely hybrid use. It is a diesel rotary, and very compact. Issue right now is it can only run 1,000 hours before a rebuild. The hell!

After slugging through our Navy through attrition alone. Using all their civilian craft. Building drones. Inflatrating. Rebuilding anything we knocked out. It would be a massacre, and a war like no other. I just don't see us winning if the entire world put their mind into it with 100% effort. Second 100 year war!

Then instead of traveling the stars they go into simulations. Laws of physics are lame. Why go out in generation ships, and deal with all the hazards of space travel when you can just be in a simulation where you can be or do anything. Where you can feel everything, like orgasms, being on drugs, etc. Get your brain wiped if you want so you are unaware, but wake up every five years to get your memories back. Then do a new simulation. Can connect to others and share your world. I feel like that is peak civilization.

Took pages from the American Crusader program, but it wasn't going to cost a bullion a vehicle. I can't think of a Japanese weapon that is just as good. Usually their domestic weapons are extremely expensive for the same capabilities. Like their Mitsubishi Fighters or tanks. (TBF their tanks are designed to defend Japan. So they are specialized for that). Germany I found out in the past two years is a real odd one. They design great systems, but don't seem to actually buy any. Then when they do they don't maintain them. From what UK and German soldiers told me? Half the shit doesn't work. Then they told me they heavily relied on American logistics all the time.

  1338. Nothing like end stage liver - when I have too much ammonia in my body I get hepatic encelopathy. The solution? Give me more Lactalose which is a very effective laxative to get rid of the excess. Better then Metamucil. Since an attack usually leaves my muscles in shambles and I can be out for a day or two I can't walk. Poor nurses have to constantly clean. When my kidneys started to totally fail as well it was HELL. After already having like five large movements in the last two hours a third effing volcano came out. It literally was the most horrifying shi¹t imaginable. It got all over the back of my body. I had to lay in it for 40 minutes as it was late at night and only a single nurse was making rounds at the my room. Took her an I a good 45 minutes to clean up. Horrifying. Then the doctors tried jump starting me with IV fluid and a powerful steroid so I was in the ICU amongst other drugs to try to get me to urinate as I already had a gallon or so of fluid in me. I became a effing waterfall at one point and stuck to the kabode as every time I tried walking to the bed it was just like a running facet. Nurse kept asking me to get back on the bed but everytime I got up it just came out. Rinse and repeat. They didn't want to put a cath or whatever for some reason which would have been a lot easier. Felt so bad for the nurses anytime I'm admitted. I always have them drop off piles of those disposable small towels/blankets for a quick change and make sure I get to walking status ASAP. Surprised I didn't die from too much fluid TBH during those stints. I suspect they basically finished my kidneys from the HE episode by putting me into a coma which was not necessary for a few days and not giving me a paracentesis for 4 days even though I had 8.4 liters of fluid in my abdomen.

I don't get these videos. Trump is the most controversial person in America. Of course he is going to get assassination attempts. The assassin was a loser probably looking to be famous. He didn't really have any friends, and wasn't there. And the secret service just were incompetent. No conspiracy is needed. Trump lived, because they were ontop of him, which forced the lunatic to fire quickly, and Trump moved his head. This is why pros shoot body mass. Talk about making a video just to stir it up. Got nothing. No new information. Just click bait.

  1348. Add me to the list. My friend and I absolutely saw one late at night when he was bringing me home. Groton CT! I saw something and was like huh that has weird lights. You see that? Is that a helicopter? So he stops the car and at the time we are thinking it is coming towards and nearly right above us. Yet after looking for a minute it hasn't moved at all so I tell him to turn off the car. Still nothing! So we get out of the car and it is just floating above us. Now here is the weird thing... We could see the silhouette of it in the shape of a triangle against the night sky. It had three light, and one bigger in the middle that reflected light weirdly - almost like looking at a red marble with an inner light. Yet there was no noise at all on top of it. So that either means the thing was massive and high up in the sky. Or super quiet and low to the ground... So it couldn't be a helicopter as I'm use to them. Anyway we are standing there for five minutes and this was right when cell phones had cameras so it had like 1 mega pixel, haha. He tried though. Anyway then it took off like a bat out of hell. There was no acceleration. Just standing still and full speed. It traveled north about a mile before going over a hill and tree line and then a split second later appeared where the hill dipped heading east over the ocean. With how fast it popped east I doubt it even turned - just a hard right like a upside down L angle. That acceleration and G force would have killed anyone. I only told a few people about the story. Years later an ex I told it to showed me a story about the TR3B and sure enough it is it. Amazes me how so many others seen it. I'm a skeptic yet I cannot deny what I saw. I won't pretend to know what it is or speculate. I just know what both of us saw and know how fast the f***ing thing went and that it was silent. I wish I had something to judge the size or speed of it, but it was a bright night sky with only some clouds. Darker then the night sky though! No sonic boom by the way - complete silence. Again it didn't acceleration not like a rocket. Shot off like a bullet. Total time was probably a bit less then ten minutes. When it was hovering it did absolutely nothing. Just hope it is on my side regardless of whatever it is.

  1349. That is the benefit of manufacturing without having to use the same tools I think. They have the engineers that can do it. Just then it has to flow through marketing and manufacturing as well before getting the stamp. Hopefully they stay relevant though. I personally don't like the looks of their front, but I get it. They aim for pure efficiency at the cost of looks. I would give up it even though that means giving up on range.

  1351. Okay, that isn't true at all if you actually look at history. People have been going after short term greed forever. Look at sons killing their fathers for a crown for example. I remember reading a theroy that it seems like things suffer every third generation. You have the founder that creates the wealth. Passes it on to the son. Then the grandson squanders it. Anyway itjust happens more today as there are more wealthy people or organizations to do this. Boeing needs to be ran by an engineer, and not a MBT. Yet stockholders rule all don't they?

  1352. Not just better range. It will be like the Tomcat I suppose or other interceptors. Massive, fast, and larger payload both internally and externally so they can carry some truly massive missiles. Agile? Just enough but I think they'll go big on being fast and efficient first and use other methods like thrust vectoring for maneuverability. I'm not convinced that a gun is necessary TBH. Missile and computer technology has improved. When was the last air to air gun kill? 1980? A-10 against a helicopter? Oh and I'm sure they'll want a lot of extra power. Especially if lasers for defense are actually going to become a thing. EW warfare is one thing I cannot speculate on. This thing after all isn't just going to be a fighter unless they are going to use the F35Cs and Bs for strike missions.

  1353. Explosives work better in water from what I understand. Wonder what type they are for sure though. Every time I see footage of a new weapon against ships I'm blown away by the sheer amount of damage can cause. The AF test "Quicksink" was insanely destructive for a relatively small bomb. I guess the plan is to be able to destroy a bunch of smaller ships with it as it is cheap.

  1355. ​ @robertw1871 Nonsense. Deepseek isn't even playing in the same ball park. It is just made extra efficent, because it costs about 5k for a RTX 5080 in China. It isn't the best though, and had to use a more powerful AI to train from last time I heard. So they had to do their own way to get any sort of decent AI. I am not saying it is useless. It is just doing its own thing. I am sure OpenAI could have focused on being efficent. Yet they are doing what investors and government want - try to reach AGI. Governments and big investors simply do not care about the rest as much as reaching that. We are in an arms race similar to nuclear weapons. Yet instead of one Manhattan Project the effort is spread out, because no one knows how to even tackle the problem. Personally I think an entire new chip design, and architecture will be required. Perhaps different chips or computers built for different skills... Our brains afterall have different specialized parts for different tasks. Our brains run on 20watts on average. So clearly we are doing something completely wrong or inefficent. If the Nobel Prize winner Penrose is right. Quantum computing will be needed for true conciousness. Anyway the last bit is just conjecture. Maybe I will be wrong, and an LLM will reach it... At what cost though. PS. Probably a good thing AI takes so much infrastructure. Makes it nearly impossible for it to take over the world if it takes acres of server racks to create!

  1357.  @peter.wilson  Usually I would agree with ya but I think for the Navy due to Carriers becoming so vulnerable at open sea? It will be more important now than ever to react quickly to threats. The USN needs to compete against land based missiles that can be as large as they want and therefore have greater stand off distances. Navy doesn't have the ability to launch giant efficient bombers that can carry massive missiles. So yeah a large(to carry some massive missiles or a bunch of them), very stealthy, fast top speeded, and efficient (for range) would be what is needed. Large radar as well... Mobility and dog fighting I think is the most over rated trait in a modern fighter. Also I think the gun should be dropped again... Vietnam was ages ago and technology is a hell a lot better now to the point where you and I can take out aircraft. Last true dogfight or jet versus jet gun kill was what? The 80s? Hoping we get those laser weapons soon.

  1358. ​ @Kalimdor199Menegroth ​@Kalimdor199Menegroth The entire Kurdish population or Yhugirs would like a word with you. Same with different tribes of Africa. We just don't care. Honestly as far as I'm concerned. Palestine has shown their true colors. They attack their moral enemy. I get that. They are basically at war, and have a blood fued. Isreal is not completely blameless with their heavy handedness, and settling shenanigans. However what do the Palestinians first do when they capture cities, and have a victory? They drag soldiers bodies through the street. They start killing civilians in their homes. Get out their cameras, and gang rape women. Yet violating them in such a brutal manner isn't enough is it? No they cut off the limbs, and decapitate them, and drag their corpses as trophies. They take children, and cut their heads off in front of their mothers. Children damn it. All while praising Allah in fanatical glee. A culture that can produce such monsters? A peolple who produced, fed, housed, and supported them either directly or indirectly. They turn a blind eye to their antics, and hate speech. They try justifying these actions that others made them do it. Well a culture like that gets no pity from me. Some cultures just don't deserve to exist. Better to be assimilated or nationalized. Isreal on the other hand cannot exist as a peaceful country, due to the sheer hate of it just existing. It is an affront to the Arab world. So I understand why they do what they do.

Remember being a kid and watching a documentary and seeing veterans go to the country. I figured we still hated each other as I was young. (mid 90s so we started to regain political normalcy.) The CCP seems to really be pissing a lot of countries off in their neighborhood. Either by not punishing their own citizens for doing illegal things in the oceon or putting tons of economic pressure on countries. I don't know if it is pure propaganda though. It's getting hard to tell and I'm sure news is just as biased in other countries.

  1364. One? There is nothing wrong with high calorie and high protein food. It is the amount people eat. Stop attacking the food; but the habit or frequency. Secondly there is nothing wrong with getting vegetables from sauce. Sauce on its own is literally crushed vegetables FFS.They give you apple sauce in the hospital. Sauces, and condiments sometimes have too much calories. Give the kid a vitamin if you're worried about nutrition anyway. Or feed them something else when at home, and everyone has time to cook or prepare a meal. Me? When I was a kid I wish I was rich enough to get a pizza lunchable daily. Better then the bad apple you guys seem to feel the need to shove down peoples throats. Yeah let us produce food kids will just toss. That is the spirit! Surely will help the earth. It will be organic with no preseveratives so that way it will take extra resources, and not last long as long too! Tremendous thinking there. Just because something is processed does not mean it is inherently unhealthy. Lunchable pizza have helped me tremendously this year. I'm dying from Liver and Kidney disease without a transplant. No appetite, and always puking when I tried eating. Well earlier this year I found out my body could handle pizza lunchables. (The non kids one without desert or drinks). I do not know why, but my body would not reject it. One apple, and one lunchable, 90٪ whey isolate, and 2 ounces of Kefir changed my life around. Eating something high in calories and protein is better then not eating at all. I already will feel for your kids. They are going to be the kids that snuck junk food since they never got it, and struggled with obesity the second they became adults since they were never taught how to balance their diet.

A stinger can do this, without landing. You need to buy a special home for it to get the full capabilities? For six figures you should get that right out of the box. If you want to revolutionize with this. Make it able to shoot down other drones with cheap bullets then land. That would be revolutonary, but wouldn't be as profitable being more than one time use would it? Or make a large machine that can make anti air missiles for 10k. There is no reason we can knock out cars for 50k, and not anti air missiles. Computers are cheap now.

  1367. Half of children's death is African Americans, although they make a tiny portion of the population. Gang thug4lyfe culture is clearly toxic, and one of the biggest issues, and we can't admit it. Or openly talk about it. America is way more diverse then Switzerland on top. I believe both economically and racially. If you look at the racial break down it is mostly... White Europeans. I don't mind racial diversity of America. I do mind something like thugs who go blasting without aiming at each other hitting children. One thing I wish we had stasticis for is how often guns descalate a situation. I've personally seen it happen many times where someone was about to get robbed or jumped, and stopped it by brandishing. A lot of times it isn't reported, especially in areas where cops are not welcomed like minority neighborhoods where I grew up in.

Luckily it was in the middle of no where as the bombs effective range was 20 to 40 miles. Honestly it was effective. Me thinks it would have killed more than nukes if deployed with thousands of tiny fires spreading at once. It would have created fire storms in cities..

  1380. ​ @kennethferland5579 Technology will catch up, and capitalism will bring the cost of the stations down. I have zero doubts people will pay a premium for faster charging. Especially in cities with a high volume of cars per station, and for commercial or industry. Even public busses could benefit from a faster charger. I think there will be a variety of speeds. You'll have economic ones, and faster premium ones where you pay extra for the faster charging time. Competition between charging stations could also push for faster chargers, and bring the prices down. Anyway I won't speculate on a timeline. Side note. Charging stations need to go the gas station buisness model. Gas stations do not make most of their money off gas. They make money off selling something else while people go to get gas. Seeing companies putting up charging stations that look like parking lots is dumb. Put up a food joint, or even a trinket store that people can look around, and spend money while they wait. Put an arcade where people can play some games while waiting. Anything! The thing is? The density is crap on these. Better to have a bigger battery pack, and charge less often for slower. Not really saving time if you gotta go three times more a week to charge. Anyway fast charging is in high demand, and EVs kind of need it.. I have faith capitalism will find a way. PS. Speaking of gas stations. I haven't been to a Buc-ees yet, but they look awesome. More of that.

I know there are the new top down smart rounds other countries are using. Called the KSTAM-II (haven't read if America uses anything like it.) Anyway the round looks interesting and maybe could give the 105mm a chance to kill MBTs when required.

  1385. Why can't a tank just be used. Seriously these upcoming tanks all should have high depression/elevation and the ability to add charges. Especially with American tanks who use manual loaders. Someone told me there are rounds that can set off a certain amount of charge but I've never heard of them. Also why two barrels... I don't see the benefit outside of heat but surely a regular tank can do a sustained RoF for a good amount of time? Anyways with FCS being what they are today what stops tanks from becoming artillery anyway.

  1388. 2 was the biggest surprise to me. Now the information was gathered by defectors who were close to the inner circle of Putin but it totally painted a different picture of him. The man is basically a hermit who gets spoon fed by pyschophants and only watches Russian Media which surprise - tells him what he wants to hear. I have no doubts he really thought Ukraine would see him as liberators. That NATO was really going to attempt to invade - which is nuts... As we see NATO is a wet noodle... There was no country on earth who seriously considered invading Russia because of MAD. Yet his information is so biased that he really didn't know how corrupt it was. The money WAS suppose to go to things but when everyone and anyone is either looking the other way from the top down? All the reports say "we are in great shape! We did what we were told" - you get 2022 Russia... A paper tiger. The age of the equipment doesn't bother me but the condition. People still don't know if their damn missiles and such are failing due to technical lies or poor maintenence. Makes me real nervous seeing as they have thousands upon thousands of nukes that absolutely require expensive upkeep to be useful and not cause accidents. Anyway this war is for some man who wanted to leave a damn legacy. Putin should have sat back and watch the West destroy its self. Instead he galvanized his enemies and they are stronger than ever. Russia is Russias worse enemy. This "NATO made me do it" is ridiculous. Should have just invested in his own damn people. Starting with world class education and fixing the specialized manufacturing situation which is also expensive. Make Russia look appealing for foreigners and for Russians to have kids.

  1391. Sometimes I feel like carriers will be obsolete within two decades due to mass missile attacks. Feel like they are too big and too expensive. Maybe laser defenses will keep them viable yet big targets means an enemy like China can just send a hundred giant ass land based missiles to destroy them. Mobile ICBM launchers with conventional warheads basically can out range anything a carrier can bare. I think the future also lays in an automated drone ships like this. One type will be small compsred to regular blue water ships due to no crew - triple the size of a speed boat. Much less expensive then a ship. Fully automated so it can sit in the ocean half submerged waiting for orders. Once orders are giving it can pop out and sprint towards the target using hydrofoils at high speed. If it detects an incoming missile it can dive back underwater for shielding and then deploy its missiles and torpedoes under water once in range then go back to a location to re‐arm. There will be tons of these hunter killers. Then there will be their little brothers which are basically automated torpedoes that can lay in wait and swarm a ship. Or launched from a mother ship and travel insane distances. I just feel like putting your eggs in one basket is a terrible idea with offensive weapons beating defense lately. Again maybe lasers will change this but defensive missiles are so damn expensive.

So you have a total of 100 crimes right? Now a politician makes selling and using drugs legal... Bam next time the statistics is used it looks like they suddenly cut crime in half! It is a miracle! The person was saying if you take out gun suicide for gun deaths it changes the statistic dramatically. Which is true as most gun deaths are suicide related. People manipulate statistics all the time TBH. Have to be real careful since they can be technically true but paint a different picture. Context is the most important aspect!

Steer by wire should have been done ages ago. Absolutely should be the future. Electronics when made correctly outlast any mechanical linkage or hydraulics. I hope it is just steer by wire, and not the hybrid systems many cars have which in my mind defeats the purpose, and makes it all even more complex especially when you add in the feedback system. Add torque vectoring, rear wheel steer, electric motors that can be controlled, and everything? It can handle like a dream with different settings. Are people complaining about that?

  1397. I do not think we do have anything better, that is reliable. If it was as good as Alex is making it I think the AF would have picked it. Like someone high up in brass told a reporter. Would you rather get one hypersonic or 100 regular stealth cruise missiles, along with decoys? Which is a valid point. The military shouldn't care about vanity on making the fastest for the sake of being the fastest. They need to make the most cost effective weapons, that get the job done. I'm not sure how often you need to destroy the target ASAP quite honestly. Personally I thought this was an air to air missile which made sense. Yet I know it is hard to make targeting systems at those speeds. Something about the atmosphere around a hypersonic vehicle causing interference with any signals. Personally I think range is the most important thing. Hitting the enemy before they can hit you is the way to go.

  1398. Volumetric density will forever hold back hydrogen ICE mate. No way around it until we get like 1500 BAR tanks which will also be ridiculously heavy. Anyway I want what is called a Series Hybrid. Where the rotrary is basically a generator. This allows the car to forgoe a huge heavy battery pack, while keeping the acceleration. The rotrary is only to give power to the batteries that give power to motor. However I hear there are issues, but I don't know WHAT damn it.

  1399. Honestly I don't believe that for a second. Everything fails. I have seen it, but won't sit here and say it was aliens. Anyway maybe aliens don't give a rats ass about staying hidden. I won't pretend to know what I saw and I definitely won't pretend to know it's purpose or motivations. I just know the thing I saw made no noise. Didn't accelerate. Went from hovering for five minutes to over the horizon nearly faster then my friend and I could track. Before making a directional change right as it hit the horizon to head east over the ocean. I couldn't see the turn for that second it went over but it seemed like it made an L shape turn before finally setting off towards the ocean never to be seen by me or my friend again.

  1400. @JacobSmith-xo8sm Damn so it was massive then. Yeah, with it being night time? It was crazy to seethe silhouette on an aircraft making no noise! Then once it took off with zero acceleration? I was flabbergasted. I didn't really believe in any UFO. Man made or otherwise. Still don't know what to make of it honestly. Pretty fair to say was in denial. I'm so glad my friend was with me to see it. How long ago was this for you anyway? What is crazy is we don't have any modern videos of it. Now that we can actually get pictures or videos with zoom at night time! Maybe whatever it is? It is more careful.

  1401. ​ @EliteRock Semi and Solid State batteries are being produced this year with 500kw/kg. That is nearly double what Tesla has in its models which are like 240-280. With many more lab break throughs happening seemingly monthly. At the rate of regular advancement. Batteries of 750kw/kg will be here in five years. Peak production maybe a few years later. So no. Just in a few years you can have a lightercar that travels 500 miles. Or you can have a heavier one for better range. I mean we already have 500 mile EVs. So 1k miles for cheap cars is about 5 years max. Look up Toyota, CATL, Amperex and a company called m24 with Impervio. Anyway... Most people drive 40 miles a day in America. More chargers is what is really needed. Every gas station should have some.

  1402. ​ @robertenglish3921 Stealing trade secrets for a government that could be used for military purposes. The CCP are very interested in stealing cargo aircraft to build ones as good as the US. Logistics is incredibly important to a military. Why am I explaining this. What are you? Chinese? They don't seem to understand stealing is wrong. Last one? They even tried stealing a Chinook recently so they could copy the design. Since they can't innovate themselves in many areas they encourage people to steal it. One of the reasons why tech companies are moving out.

  1403. I am not defending him but you sure as hell wrote a lot to say a bunch of nothing. Maybe add some sources to the statements you know, just saying? I would be worried about China. Their sheer manpower and industrial capacity is a threat. Their government has the benefit of doing what it wants for long term goals - and can pivot much faster than any democracy. Resting on our laurels is absolutely something we should not do. While yes we spend tons of money and the self defense industry definitely nickles and dimes us - we need to keep that manufcaturing base. I've been reading a lot about the world of manufacturing. It is insane how valuable it is and how hard it is to get back up once it is lost. It needs talent and highly experienced people and we need to look no further than Russia to see what happens when you let it go. The T14 is a great example and was dead on arrival due to the fact their engine is woefully underpowered and unreliable ajdbtheu designed the entire platform around that engine. The thought they could fix the problem by the time the rest was ready but do not have the capabilities or precision tools to manufacture anything close to the West. We definitely should not relax or take Chinas rapid development lightly.

  1404.  @thefrunze.198  What? Fighters shooting down ICBMs? Dude unless there is some secret defense weapon hidden there is no stopping a nuclear attack. Read about it. One missle carries multiple nukes and decoys. Now multiply that by hundreds of thousands. Submarines are the biggest threat as we don't always know where they are at, and one submarine could wipe out the east coast. Fighters aren't made to shoot down ICBMs. They'll have a chance against bombers enroute and cruise missiles. No country on earth could effectily defend against nuclear war. Better live in the middle of no where.

Russia doesn't get enough credit but they basically won the war. America's lend lease though was crucial for the Soviets but still it was won through Nazi blood. Also the Japanese were just as brutal against civilians as the NAZI were if not more so. Japanese occupation was terrible for all those involved and the experiments they did could be a video on its own.

  1408. ​ @LTULOfficial  No country owes any citizen of an other anything, period. Europe works together. Other countries don't. That is on them. That is the problem - Muslim countries don't take responsibility for their actions, and constantly fighting. Using donated water pipes for rockets instead of fresh water for example. The Middle East is a cluster cluck even without the West. Always blaming others than looking in the mirror. Then they want to bring their backwards customs that made their country crap in the first place into a functional country. Europe doesn't want that. There are other places in the world Arabs can flee too that maybe better suited for them. Perhaps Africa with their constant wars, and Middle Age customs maybe better suited to their way of life. Clearly taking so many immigrants and refugees in hasn't gone well. Europe tried, and look how they are repaid. In disrespect, and a group of people who don't want to assimilate or follow the culture. They should send all the useless refugees back once the war is done. That entitlement of yours is insane. You, I, and others do not have the right to waltz into a country, and expect a home. That is their home. Maybe Muslims haven't learned that hence the issues in the Middle East.

  1410. I was just wondering what the science says on high tempature batteries. Ones that become incredibly energy dense at high tempatures that will beat lithium ion out of the park. I mean we are good at producing heat. I remember reading electricity and high tempatures don't like each other. Yet is that a product of our research focusing on room tempature batteries or a science phenomenon I mean.

  1411. I thought the same thing too. Yet I doubt they are taking the quality sand you speak of. Tons of different varieties. I hope they are taking the sand silicon chips are made of.

I'd like to see this versus salt water detox batteries.

  1413. China needs to chill the hell out. They are pushing and pressing buttons of so many other countries which makes those countries band together. If they'd just take a chill pill and relax a bit on the political side of things they could sit back and watch America fight itself... Instead they lie, cheat, steal, and bind your legs and arm together. It will be interesting to see their influence in Africa.

  1415. Yes and no. Good luck meeting emissions without computers. I'd rather not get lung cancer sooner due to people's vehicles. 989 billion in 30 years is what would be saved if we magically electricfied tomorrow according to America Lung Association. EVs becoming the same weight (with a 400 mile car) is right around the corner. So they will just flat out destroy ICE in raw performance. That is why I love them. Give me an electric EV. With an axial flux motors, and solid state batteries. 2000 technology like AWD. I don't need FSD. Automatic this or that. Blue tooth. Don't need an actual computer to game or run apps on some iPad like device. Gimme door handles, and buttons. Just a small EV with ton of performance, and none of the gimmicks. Like the sad part is they can now. They can make it cheap, and last over 250k miles all the way to 600k miles before battery degradation. (Driver dependent of course). Whomever does that will kill it. Apteras price point is looking great for a car that can give you up to 40 miles. Sadly on Chinese companies show true competition.

  1417. Uh. Every single war game says otherwise. An invasion of Taiwan would be a massacre. There would be a lot of losses on both sides, but the Chinese would lose. Look at how Ukraine went. Now add 100 miles of water. China doesn't even have enough landing boats. If what you said is true? China would have invaded. Yet they know it would cost them a million men, and thousands of ships just to get a destroyed island with few resources. Taiwan and America would never let TSMC fall into Chinese hands so those facilities would be blown up.

  1418. Only makes sense for a portable one like for a car. Why? While I can't stand them for food the microwave is great for boiling water or heating up liquids quickly. Just be careful to not super heat it. In theroy you can make the water hotter than possible with a lid and only allowing some steam to escape! Let's not forget there are coffee machines that heat up and have a resevour to keep water hot and you can put your T Bag in while it's brewing and then put it into the cup. So yeah Americans generally have a microwave, coffee maker, and stove. All three can be used for different purposes too. No need for an other niche appliance Blah this video made me thirsty but I have liver and kidney failure so am forced to limit my liquids to a mere 20-32 ounces a day which includes food... Fucking ascities. You guys are so lucky I could smack a child right now if it allowed me to just be able to drink all I please for one day. Ironic isn't ? I will die from drinking, and die thirsty wishing I could just drink tea, coffee, chocolate milk, and juice to my heart's content.

  1419. Probably. Feels like the F-35 idea. America is now making the sixth generation of fighters, and I am sure after that program more will be coming. Wish the US will commit to better missiles as I keep reading we are behind, but I am just a naive civilian.

European has been suckling on the teet for a long time. And it isn't like America didn't send the most aid already than any other country by a long shot. Don't get me wrong. I am furious with our government, and President Elon. This is all insane. Yet MAGA is clearly push back to liberal identity politics, gendwr this or that, amongst other things. All Dems did was talk crap on Republicans, and plead the plight of minorities. While over looking the woes of the majority. Then tried running a black woman like our country isn't full of sexist, and racist. Dems are weak, and delusional. Until they show power no one will respect them.

  1423. ​ @ArawnOfAnnwn  Well TBH there aren't many products that China creates that you can't find home grown or from a close ally. China's strength in manufacturing comes from output and how quickly they can maneuver an entire factory for a cheaper product. Not to mention their factories have all the suppliers right there which is incredibly useful. We buy things from China due to them being able to produce them cheaper. I'm not sure what field China excels in TBH that other countries don't have locked down. I know they are catching up though and will surpass us. Say what you will about the CCP but it can get fires burning much faster than western governments. I want to see Asian do a deep dive on the F 35 and suppliers. He opened my eyes to the world of manufacturing and how important it is to have a base. On top of how many specialized cogs and belts are required in the machine to create a final product we basically take for granted. Things you simply cannot just throw money at or pay for expertise.

  1424. Problem with them is they will have the fuel evaporate quickly. Some say two weeks. I call BS. About last year I found one that was sitting with full fuel in my drawer. (I nearly died there for a few years. So it was untouched.) It lit a few times before stopping. Yet it DID work.

  1427. Manufacturing is generally where Toyota really excels. Same with Tesla. I can't wait for two things. Solid state batteries which are coming next year in China, 2024. 2025 for Toyota, and others. Then Lithium Air Solid State much further off. If we can get those? Well it will be revolutionary for everything, but the largest cargo ships. We are talking about super light sports car, or heavy duty electric trucks including construction. Then of course aircraft. Passenger aircraft will be smaller, and slower at first. Yet they'd be significantly cheaper for fuel, and maintenence. Think cheaper/shorter flights.

  1428. I am not worried. What the hell are the Arab states going to do short of upping terrorists attacks? Killing random civilians?

  1431. Forgot to say. This video though is just as bad as the media. Talk about negativity bias. What was his point? It was so vague talking about "it". Brings up a magical prediction machine, lol. I think most people are deeply aware how society can go to hell. Especially now. In fact polls show our global anxiety is rising, and political tensions definitely are. Media can't stop talking about negative things. So what was he getting at? I also vehemently disagree that life will suddenly collapse forever simply due to a small action. Somehow causing a collapsing society. We are more resilient than ever. Covid could have been way worse. Will small things happen that disrupt stuff for a time? Sure. Make someone's day worse? Yeah. Having the Suez Canal blocked sucked for some. I didn't even notice. We are more resilient than ever as a species. It would take a lot to collapse civilization, and there are definitely some things that can do it. Yet none of those are "one more sand pieces toppling the pile" unless you consider WWIII, a solar storm, super virus that effects man and machine alike(lol), and super volcano small. Humans are worse than cock roaches. We roll with the punches.

  1432. Yeah I think the Lerclerc had its moments but now isn't the best by any stretch. I am curious on how well the most modern Abrams and Chieftains will do against other tanks. They maybe right about armor being useless against 120mms... Maybe we should just make our tanks protected against autocannons only and rely on active defenses while focusing on first round kill success. We won't know anytime soon since we sent the inferior versions of both to Ukraine. Would be cool to see what a modern super heavy assault gun or tank destroyer would look like. Probably 150t of "I might be a slug but you cannot hurt me because I have a CIWIS on my roof and a rapid fire 155mm and frontal armor so thick it would make Kim Kardashian jealous.

I actually don't know much, but saw a guy indirectly talking aboutit. Patrick Boyle I think? Kind of said computers are basically buying and selling thousands of times a day from each other all trying to get the advantage. Creating just weird anomalies in the market. It made me laugh on how absurd the stock market really can be. I don't have to understand it! I am ignorant for sure. It is just like... I am thinking I am in the wrong buisness. I need to con some of these venture capitalists to invest, and then give myself a huge salary! PS - I know I said Lucid. Lucid are actually amazing vehicles, and have a lot of great tech, but I just don't see how they'll get profitable anytime soon. I want to be wrong, but the new car is hideous looking.

Why does a political news channel use Western media tactics? Oh I don't know. Maybe, to draw attention to it being about the political side? The topic is political, because of the race to AI is important to each side. DeepFake is cheap, and efficent. Yet learned off Western AI. I'm not worried. The bubble was getting out of hand.

AI is a tool to open up that door, and make it much easier to produce things. I don't care if it makes someones skills outdated not valuable to everyone. Now it opens up more doors, and ideas for everyone. Not just those who dedicated lives to Master a this or that. What intellectual jobs do you speak of, because people have been going after other forms of work for the longest time. Machines replaced craftsman, and laborers. Good that we have a tool to replace "creative" people now. We are getting robots and self driving cars too. And I disagree it will get rid of the actual creative people. Their stuff will still be valued by others. Art is valued based on human skill. It only gets rid of the grunt work. Helps make things for less, and faster. Jobs for the sake of jobs is a selfish, and doesn't work out. Keeps countries poor. Soon you or I will be able to make our own games, movies, and music, programs, research, simulations, etc all in way way less time. We just need to change our society to fit this new power. Capitalism, and Communism which focus on labor will become as outdated as fuedalism if we survive.

  1442. NATO dropped the ball. Too little too late. I have been saying this forever. Russia had way too much time to dig in. Honestly I was hoping Ukraine would've attacked through Russia. Did a hook or something. No... They... Ran straight through and got chewed up. They didn't expect helicopters? I don't know outside this will be a war of attrition. Ukraine simply doesn't have the numbers to defeat Russia on the offense like this.

  1445. Used for cyber warfare. Maybe help with AI. Quantum computers are very good at certain tasks, while normal digital ones are better. Granted it very well may change once people really start developing the architecture for the software. Remember a PC IS NOTHING without good architecture, and the software to use its capabilities. Anyway the fact that we have yet to make one without cryogenic tempatures is an issue. What I find fascinating about them is that they get exponentially more powerful with each quidbit. So one with 10 is like 1,000 times more powerful than one with 5, and not double. Something like that.

If they made it a hybrid so it could run silent with little to no heat signature? It would actually be pretty useful as far as a harassing aircraft go. As long as you aren't worried about pilot life span that is! So that isn't an issue. Who cares if one is shot down when 100 of them are right behind with rockets harassing ya. My only issue is... The targeting system is worth so much more than everything on it?! Unless they have super cheap system on here which wouldn't surprise me. I am a sucker for small, light, quiet and hard hitting platforms. Things like the Weasel and Ripsaw are awesome.

European politicians at face insult America while sending troops or using them for defense. Yet they don't mind their businesses exploiting what America does. Imagine a fight between two groups. They are like that kid in Americas group who half asses an attempt to stop a fight, but nudges it on. Then after America knocks out the dude, and gets what they want.

Her nickname was a chicken head, but that was unrelated. That is because she was known to suck a lot of cock in high school. The injury she had that made it so her neck was fused was also unrelated to the act of fallatio, and happened after. I don't think she really does it anymore as turning her head caused pain. Maybe this would help her and you. Sorry about your neck, that sucks. Like she use to.

Having huge sensors, and being able to see the enemy before they see you using stealth, and out ranging them. Is the only foreseeable way America will win. We cannot out produce a country triple our size. A country who can make their citizens do whatever they want. Who can pay less on everything from wages to benefits. I don't have high hopes for Trump to make any global pacts, or have any political tact at all. In fact quite the opposite. He will weaken our alliances. So unless we are smarter. Or lucky. We seriously need to figure out if the future war will be cheap drones, which we are behind, or expensive platforms with exquisite performance that stomps everything. What we need is a bigger budget suitable for a cold war damn it. Why have Republicans gone from Cold War Warriors to licken a (Russians) Putins boots. We are screwed. I don't have faith in our politicans nor our military industrial complex to do anything, but milk, and get rich first amongst all else. Even to the detriment of the future.

The 6 or 8 years of cost or whatever the government had it before selling it? Well yeah. You lose money if you sell a plane before it recoups the cost. Duh. British Airways was making profits from 82 onward with the exception of 92? What happened in 92? Bubble burst? Many years it was making 50 million. The last six months it gained 60million in six months. What sources do you have? The airline companies didn't really list daily operation cost. They did list total profits, tax not included though.) So my original point was shooting down the myth that the Concord was canceled due to it losing money. That is false. It was canceled due to it crashing, yeah. Lack of available routes due to sonic booms, with 100 seats. Lack of parts IIRC. The governments deal with British Airlines is irrelevant. That is on them. That is just BA numbers. I didn't add the other airliner. France started making money either in 85 or a bit later depending. I can't find much on their profits. One source saying 30 million. TL:DR. Concorde was making profits. Wasn't the reason why it was cancelled.

  1457. ​ @2drealms196 Only way China is catching up in many technologies is if they start focusing on the technologies that will revolutionize X industry tomorrow. Forgot the word for this when jt comes to leap frogging in a sector. Essentially instead of going for EUV - try to focus on the next technology that will replace it. It is like trying to focus on making better lead battery technologies back twenty years ago when lithium was about to leap frog ervything. I think EE was the one who pointed this out in an other thread with something on how Japan got ahead in electronics while Europe fell. Could have been an other channel talking about technology and manufacturing. Yet it made perfect sense to me.

  1458. Yeah what is going on in SA is insane. For a while I thought it was a jewel of Africa. Maybe a bit rough, but nothing a little polish could do. Now the shit seems to be hitting the proverbial fan from economics to that. Crazy that they could produce this helicopter - even Russia struggles with making their optics and they were literally using regular old NVG googles on their Alligator helicopters till 2010ish. The war in Ukraine showed us just how much western components they were using. Not sure if the South Africans were doing the same. Lots of specialized companies out there making sophisticated parts for the larger system that we don't think about. Mirrors are one of them.

  1465. The whole point of an EV is the crazy acceleration. What is the point? Might as well just get an ICE. For the price the performance is bad. This car has specs of an EV from five years ago. Buy a damn Kia EV6 GT. I heard they are fun as hell to drive. Would blow this out of the water for just above 60,000$. I detested Kia my entire life - the car of ultra hipsters. Couldn't believe it, because they changed their logo too. I just saw one blow past us weaving through the highway, and was like THE hell was that? Wasn't till we got to a stop light, and it took off before I knew it was an EV. Looks better in real life. I don't know how much fun this would actually be to drive. There are electric motors that almost triple the HP at only 70kg. No excuse for it being that weak with just 268 HP... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt till I hear real feedback. Just spec wise it really is underwhelming.

I hate the politics involved involved in anything but especially when it comes to arms procurement and the whole industrial military complex. But I can only judge on what I've seen on videos and the Valor looks good. Neither of us are involved in either program and I have yet to read any issues regarding the Valor. While the Defiant did have some issues (from not being able to use an engine to rotors). So time will tell but I think the military made the right choice. PS for some reason the wiki says Lockheed is involved in the Valor... Yet Lockheed owns Sikorsky.

  1469. ​ @mappingshaman5280 I don't care about 100 years ago. What matters is how we act today, and Hamas are terrorists. The second they gained a minor victory they started parading corpses through the streets. They had exterminator squads who killed children in front of their mothers. That isn't freedom fighting. Palestine has contributed nothing to the world. They seem to be solely focused on killing jews even since the conception of Isreal, and then Isreal took more land for each war they won. That is called conquest, and we all are descendents of conquerors. They seem to only produce monsters who then join Hamas. Hamas wouldn't exist with Palestinians would it? They are one and the same, and over 50% supported that terrorist government. Some polls as high as 75% . It seems like any extra cash they do get they spend on weapons like rockets instead of food or education. So yeah if I'm going to pick sides? I'll side with the more civilized group. Palestinians have refused diplomacy so many times over the last 75 years, and have always chosen violence instead. The difference is Isreal doesn't have decrees in their government saying their goal is the total eradication of an entire people. As for the civilian deaths? I blame Hamas for hiding amongst their own people, using them as human shields.

  1473. @Shako_Lamb  Certain old houses can have a lot of toxic random things in them as well. Heavy metals/asbestos. Some places like my town are pretty strict on what you can do when you buy the historic houses. My boss tried getting one to split into a restaurant down stairs. Town played along then said no the house cannot be modified like that. The list of what she can do was pretty short just period. Lots of houses will be kept up, simply because they are considered historical. Anyway yeah of course poor people like me will save onto their old stuff! My house needs so much electrical/heating work as the boiler quit. Just can't fix anything as I became ill. So we do what we can. When I say survivorship bias. I'm talking about the people who think all the old stuff is so superior. They routinely are only focused on the touristy buildings really. Or ones whove had work and care put into it. Ones suffering from the Ship of Thesis question, lol. (Is it an old house when the entire inside has been remodeled). They don't think of all the slums, and ghettos that use to be. The decrypted apartments too unsafe to keep before regulations. Ones that burnt down. They completely ignore the ugly crappy buildings that were built. Or don't think of things like 1780 out houses, and tiny cabins. I've only seen a handful of red brick buildings I liked. Matter of taste though. Just ugh, really guys? Put up a facade, or cheap siding even. Hah, JP. With that said. What really bugs me about modern buildings is we have the tech to make them super insulated, safe, and durable. Ones that can generate, and store power! Then you got developers making entire neighborhoods of such crappy quality. Yet I would still argue overall we make much better things for more people. I forgot what we were talking about. I'm out of it so sorry Head of time, but hope anyone reading this has an amazing New Year's. Cheers.

  1474. Yup. We see it in the Ukarine war when Russia had a huge advantage and was stopped due to it (add in underestimating Ukarinin resistance ). It's why Americas military is the best in the world. Other countries may have comparable weapons and systems but they don't have the logistical capabilities relative to America. I was just reading a conversation with German and British soldiers. They said that's one thing their respective countries need to work harder on instead of relying on America. I guess they were impressed with how quickly US would move large amounts of supplies.

  1475. Isreal attacked a hospital some weeks back l which had tons of fighters, and commanders. An Isreal soldier was even killed during a fire fight during the raid. If you watched non biased news sources you would probably know this. Isreal reports with proof constantly. News sources don't show it. Hamas lies, and uses this. If Isreal doesn't attack they have a place to launch attacks. They win. If Isreal does attack they play the victim card. They win. Truly a lose lose situation for Isreal. If I was a Palestinian I would be rooting out Hamas myself. Yet apparently, Palestinians don't for whatever reason and let them hide amongst them causing collateral damage.

  1476. Batteries aren't fusion tech always twenty years away. Battery tech IS improving. A lot. Year in and out. It is insane. Maybe you're young and don't realize it. I am 40, and it is crazy how much they've come along in my life. We have solid state batteries now in production. We have batteries now that can last a million kilometers. We have energy storage batteries. Many new batteries ARE coming out of the lab. It just takes time to get into sufficient production. Some are simply too expensive at the moment for consumer stuff, but the price is going down tremendously. The potential for batteries isn't even touched. We can therotically have batteries ten to twenty times the current average in power density. This video has strawman. One, the main resources in batteries are not that rare. America has the most lithium deposites that can last us 1k years. No scientist agrees that we will run out of these resources anytime soon especially when we can now recycle 90% of our lithium ion batteries. Hell even the icean has lithium that some companies are trying right now to learn to refine. I think some test facilities are in the works. Mining is as dirty as the country it is stemming from. Those countries are notorious for dirty practices, and no environmental regulations. We let them mine it as why not? They can do it cheaper. People act like the oil industry isn't basically the biggest environmental disaster of the past century. Or act like the gas industry doesn't use rare metals in refining or usage. Look at what catalytic converters alone consume. Battery tech is awesome. I hope to see an actual exoskeleton before I die. Energy is holding that back. Future is bright. Electric motors are superior. Batteries just need to catch up.

  1477. ​ @MichelleTaylor-l6g The reason why Hertz stopped getting Tesla vehicles was quite simple. Supply chain issues. They couldn't get the parts to keep the vehicles in good enough shape to rent out. Especially when it came to things like interior. It makes sense. One of the number one complaints I hear about Teslas outside of poor construction on alignment is in fact if something breaks. You gotta wait for parts or a spot to open at over booked repair shops. Ones that generally cost more for repairs then legacy automakers. An other problem Hertz had was people tended to get into more accidents when changing to EVs. LoL. People not use to the torque I imagine or perhaps stopping distance. I just found that report hilarious.

  1478.  @Colombiaguapo  People were actually getting them, to test. People were excited for them for a minute there, and what better way to test an EV than to rent it! Range anxiety puts people off with lack of chargers. I'd say that is a supply issue, again. Hertz was willing to drop money when EVs were expensive, because EVs would have meant way less regular maintenance cost with the exception of tires. They would've trained people to drive, and had their own techs with their own shops too. Yet the companies including Tesla couldn't give them the supply chain necessary. They can't give the chargers required still to sway people's range anxiety. Tesla really dropped the ball on that one. One note. I have met lot of people who actually owe an EV who rent ICE when going on vacations or road trips, lol. Think that market will always be there.

Yet an engine working, and an engine going into production are two different things. The issue these days is EVs ARE the future, and a near one at that. So since they are the future investors don't want to waste their money on a risky new engine design. However there is one contractor that is willing to get a high performance generator even if it can't last 100k hours. The military of course will need hybrids when just batteries cannot do! Drones, generators, and vehicles will benefit from small engines. PS - to the videos question. There is an axial flux motor that is said to do 800bhp at 52 pounds. ( Helix Motors UK. ) Annnnnd with power like that is exactly why electric is the future.

Both have land disputes which don't seem hot. I do not think either think highly of each other racially or culturally.

China loves that cheap oil, and cheaper resources. (Yeah Russia banned oil exports.) Both want to trade each other products, but specifically Russia. I wonder how much they are trading that aren't on the books. It would be easy for both to fudge numbers. I think this also is a step in a larger plan for China to eventually start growing their own aerospace manufacuring capabilities. As we know China is on the up and up, while Russia doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. It wouldn't suprise me if Russia starts buying or using Chinese aerospace parts or planes once their stolen vehicles become unable to fly. Putin is an idiot for not focusing on keeping his intelligent people home. The Soviets had great scientists and engineers... Most with a brain fled the country, and brought their talent with them.

  1501. ​ @WolfeSaber EVs after 30k miles are better for the enviroment. On top they also last 100k more miles. With newer models with the newest batteries being suspected of double that. We shall see. (Although EVs aren't as reliable. ) One of the reasons why lithium seems so dirty is look who is mining it. China and Chille don't care about what they dump. So it can easily be cleaner with regulations although that would add some cost. Newer technologies are already being prepped for better mining practices. Especially in the US who keeps finding huge deposits. We have the single largest deposit of lithium in Mount McDermett or whatever. To produce the lithium needed for a 64 kWh battery pack, for example, Fichtner stated that about 3840 liters of water are evaporated according to usual calculation methods. This is roughly comparable to the production of 250 grams of beef, 30 cups of coffee, or half a pair of jeans, according to the researcher. So EVs are much better than ICE. Even if they use cobalt which many try not to these days.

  1502.  @WolfeSaber  Cyber Truck with the exception of towing blows nearly all other ICE trucks out of the water. What you smoking? Perfect surburban truck. Batteries didn't have enough juice for Semi. Now they could with 500 kw/kg. When batteries hit 800 kw/kg? We can have regional electric planes. Power grid? We only make enough power at any time for demand. We will need to make 25% more energy if EVERY person switched to EVs tomorrow. Capitalism will supply the demand like it always has. New technologies on the grid part are rapidly getting cheaper. Like energy storage price has dropped like a rock year after year. With renewables themselves getting cheaper. Pervoskite solar is on the horizon which will be significantly cheaper, and gain more power per square meter. I never said EVs are the end all be all yet or for everything. As of now they are good enough for 90% of drivers. Yet batteries are improving in every metric so fast with constant lab break throughs. We've only scratched the surface. The best therotical batteries have 50 times the max potential of batteries today. Lithium air has a therotical max of 12,000 wh/kg. Tesla batteries are around just 250 wh/kg. Biggest issue right now is lack of super chargers.

What you won't ever see is whites walking in masses. Or just people. Democrats and Liberals tell white men they should feel ashamed for history, and have privledge. White people are the poorest group. They struggle just as bad. The ghetto is better than the boonies if you have street smarts. That brings nothing but resentment. Which creates a counter culture. Now we have Trump. That is what liberal idealogy does. It separates. It wants to create a country where you walk on eggshells, and so busy being the progressive party for minorities including trans. It forgets the woes of the majority. That is what conservatives see the left as a whole. Biden was a weak president who never showed strength. Never brought two sides together even a bit. Democrat party is a bunch of delusional weak politicans who can never put their foot down agaisnst the far left.

Nothing is stoping these people from doing the same. Those with land can go set up their own trees and pick them and then go sell them directly. It's a sad truth of the world. Just like how the farmers creating coca are having one hell of a trouble selling their goods in their country and keeping the factories open. If no one purchases them no one gets paid.

  1512. Spanking is different than abuse. Should only be used when the kid does something very bad. Should also spend time having reconicilliation. Others should not be able to spank a child though. Didn't know it was legal for a teacher to do it. Tons of kids are spoiled unrespectful brats these days. You see it online all the time. No respect, and know nothing is supposed to touch them. They don't care about your go to the room punishments. You see these kids grow up with the same mindset. Think people can't touch them.. Then they come across others who don't care, and show them some respect.

  1514. Also automated turret which i think all countries should do so. This should eliminate the problems with elevation and depression I think. I'm sure you can design something... Anyway I think tanks in general should also be able to have the ability to choose different amounts of charge so they can be used as artillery as well. Also you can put the turret further back for better stability. Also it doesn't have to be a 152. I think that's a bit too large. I think building a 130mm but designing a tank to go bigger is the way to go. I feel like armor technology isn't keeping up and eventually will be useless with more active defenses taking priority. The Russians say the Armata can tank a hit to the face by an American Abraham's 120mm + DU sabot but I'm not sure how true that is. Would not want to test that theory personally. Also there are now smart shells that are designed to be shot over the top of a tank and uses a shape charge to penetrate the weaker top armor.

  1515.  @CorgiCorner  You do realize that takes work. Do you know why civilization as a whole keeps advancing for the better? It's because we CAN simply go to a place and purchase food quickly. It allowed us to have spare time and for people to specialize in "x" which benefits "y" who goes into make things easier for "z" etc. Then pass on generation of knowledge and bam a better life for all. If you want to live off the grid and spend half your day tending to your farm go ahead. Make sure you save enough just in case the weather doesn't wipe out your crop.

  1516. Nothing is truly green. The fact they blow ICE out of the water performance wise, with the exception of top speeds that are basically lap car only. What is funny is even after everything you listed. Report after report says EVs are greener. Cobalt is being phased out, and isn't used in many EVs. Chemicals? Yeah, because drilling and refining oil is SOOO clean? To produce the lithium needed for a 64 kWh battery pack, for example, Fichtner stated that about 3840 liters of water are evaporated according to usual calculation methods. This is roughly comparable to the production of 250 grams of beef, 30 cups of coffee, or half a pair of jeans, according to the researcher. Mining is getting better too. One of the issues specifically with lithium was WHO was mining it. China and Chille don't really have or follow regulations, and didn't care. Now that countries who do care about their backyards are going to be mining for these materials. Expect the cost environmentally to drop. Especially with so many researchers getting funding from both private and governments for better, and more efficient practices. Let us not mention EVs already last 100k more miles. Some say the EVs made today can double that before the battery isn't practical. Mind you these metals can also be recycled. You cannot recycle burnt gas! EVs are the future. In five to ten years even semis will be using them. Oh let us not forget the geopolitical and security nenefits of decoupling from gas countries like Russia and the Middle East.

  1517. Yes. When the war stopped during winter of 2022 cause NATO sent too little too late. I knew it would be a long war. WW1 trenches with modern technology. If people haven't noticed it is EASIER to kill tanks. It is easier to destroy entire columns with a single Helicopter out of MANPAD reach. Ukraine had no SHORAD. No way to get past the minefields. Don't know why they thought Russian defenses would buckle at the first Leopard barreling in. NATO sucks.

  1518. Yes because no other forms of government would ever allow this to happen. The issue is with the people. They don't unite and let corruption take hold, and they continue doing the job anyway. I don't always feel bad on some of these videos. Some chose to do so and don't like change. Nice thing as a consumer you can choose who you purchase from. So vote with your wallet or some blaming an entire system for human flaws that would pop up anyway.

  1522. Wait till axial flux motors, and solid state engine. Helix UK is making a motor that is 800bhp, at 52 pounds. Stick two of those in a car for AWD, with Solid State batteries that have 450-500 kw/kg, and bam... You're golden. Or put a jet turbine in a car as a generator for a series hybrid with those two motors. Bam. Don't have to worry about charging. Jet turbines are way more efficent, lighter, and more reliable than ICE. Lose the drive train. Electric cars are without a doubt going to blow ICE out of the water. Well unless it is a top fuel dragster.

  1523. Nothing wrong with GMOs. They save lives. Grow more using less. Thet have vitamins lacking in some crops. They use less water and even less pesticides(well in theroy). Drought and weather resistant. Anyone who think some inbred, crossbred, hybrid crop using all the various methods to create it "naturally" is insane. Nothing natural about any modern crop to begin with. I mean they use all sorts of techniques that do not happen in nature. GMOs are good.

  1525. AI allowing anyone to program, video games, music without years of training is a good thing. Some of you hate AI, because it will make your labor irrelevant. Which is a good thing. I don't want to hire people to do labor when I do not have to. Nearly all these studies he listed are studying peoples lack of skills on... Newly outdated skills? It doesn't matter how you get to the destination as long as you made it there quicker, and safely. Why are scientist judging people on old skills is beyond me. Perhaps we should also do studies on if people can farm or hunt small game since those skills were important back in the day too. What is the difference between a teen asking AI for advice once it becomes good over their friends? You all do not remember your friends terrible advice back in school? Not every kid even has smart guardians to ask. Then last but not least. The law is so damn convoluted it is criminal. It is criminal we need to pay specialist who went to school for years just to be able to defend ourselves. AI lawyers will give power back to the poor. Again once kinks work out. Will future lawyers on average be dumber due to it? Yeah, because you don't need to be a special person in order to be successful. In my opinion. Medical advances are ruining the gene pool, and the future will be closer to Gataca once we start enhancing people genetically. Unless the ludite conservatives win. Consumerism isn't why people are becoming dumber. It has been around for a long time. Social media, lack of education on critical thinking skills, misinformation, and the rise of anti intellectuals is the issue. Parents letting their kids watch Tate or the Paul Brothers, or Kardashians . The world is changing so fast we don't know how to keep up. Laws, and advice on how to handle it are non existent. Our culture was not prepared. Founding Fathers had no idea about the incoming tech, and didn't think free fpeech would allow politicians puppeted by billionaires to lie 24/7 over a thing we held in our hand. So I'm blaming those. Our education needs to teach critical thinking skills over memorization in an ever changing world with zero experience to pull from, and laws governing misinformation need to be put into place. You all can blame Nike, and Temu ads.

  1526. Yeah I knew a lot of people who robotripped a ton of times. I did it a handful myself. Think he underestimates just how bored some teens and young adults are. I mean if we could've gotten our hands on LSD, or shrooms, etc easily we would do that instead but nope. Ugh PCP. One drug that made me nearly want to kill someone. Like bust their door down, rip their arms off arms and beat them with it. Scary thoughts- also hated the feeling on it. For some reason that was a drug for a lot of thugz. Wouldn't touch opiates but dust was fine! Always thought racial genetics had to do with it as they seemed to have more of a euphoria with it. Called it bleak - which I always thought was a perfect name as thats how it made me feel.

  1527. ​ @imsneedandifeedinseed  NATO was never planning on invading Russia seriously. Sure militaries had plans, but all militaries have plans if invaded or to invade other countries. It is what the commanders and staff do in their free time. The US probably has plans somewhere to invade the God damn Vatican. Putin went to war not to secure anything. He went to war for his own legacy, and used lies to do it. Much like the US with Iraq. Putin wanted to be seen as a great hero who brought back Russia to its former glory. Spreading far from Belarus and Ukraine to down in Central Asia with the Stans. That is what the war is about. They already secured their warm water port they desperately needed. The only set back was the fact Ukraine wouldn't fold, and how badly corrupt the Russian became. Then how that corruption ruined along with poor planning utterly destroyed any chance for an easy victory. Russians keep fighting, because Russians like Americans will do whatever the government demands. Russia dug their own gave with NATO. Any fool can see that. Their history and current behavior has seen that if you are near Russia you better have a good military alliance or else you will eventually be invaded by Russia for nothing.

  1528. Perhaps you can help me. On the polarizing experiment why can't the waves simply be rotating after going through a slit? I mean he explains it like waves are static on certain planes at completely verticle or horizontal. He just assumes they snap into orientation, and simply aren't rotating making a spiral path. Why. I guess I am missing the experiment where we know the orientation as the light passes onto the next slits after successfully passing the first. ( Also second thought. Why does he beleive they are snapping in the first place, and not being deflected into position to go through the slit correctly. )

  1530. Geothermal might make a come back if millimeter wave drilling has its way. Someone did napkin math with the projections given from the video. Forget which. It was super cheap for a 500mw compared to gas. Quite interesting how low the number was. I need to look more into it. It does look promising. Think Matt did a video on it too. Anyway geothermal is nice since if you also use the heat for heating places on the cheap. I just hope they pair the drilling with the geothermal closed circuit company!

  1532. Yeah, because invading Taiwan would be so similar to Gaza. Not like there is a huge natural barrier in the way defended by one of the world's best militaries that have been preparing for decades. Take notes Taiwan! You'll be seeing a million little Chinese men with their new paragliders appearing on the horizon soon! Jokes aside. Taiwan is one of the most difficult places to invade with a good military. I won't say the CCP could never conquer it... Just the death toll to even get a foothold would be staggering. Especially if the US and allies did intervene to stop the invasion by destroying ships.

  1533. I don't understand this TBH. Maybe if it was a 1300mm or 155mm. Why not develop a tank that can fire like a howitzer. Ballistic computers and fire control systems aren't the issue. Surely we can develop a MBT gun that can have different charge levels. A full charge being the standard and being able to take some away or add to it. Anyways yeah guys tell me why we don't just develops an MBT/IFV that has a high elevation. A lot of the newer wheeled and tracked artillery can fire directly at targets now. Tanks are going to require a lot of elevation then the past anyway due to urban and drone warfare becoming more prevalent.

  1534. They did a U 2. Landed it too I believe which is insane. Also they put a F 35B on a Zumwalt I guess haha! Seriously why not use the JTAO systems. Rockets are reliable and cheap so I never understood why we don't create some reusable rockets for STOL.

  1535.  @InterstellarTaco  Britians military is underfunded AND has been for decades. While being understaffed and too small. They are hurting and know it. Sure their SF are set and the newer stuff like the Astute and others are good, but they are tiny and equipment is old. (Coming from people who serve there.) They also generally are there with the US and rely heavily on them for logistics. With that said the troops they do have are well trained and motivated. They take pride in having broken ass equipment like the USMC. I think like Germany they are trying to rearm. Takes time though and economically/population Britian punches above its weight to be honest. China definitely either is or will be. I am not one of those idiots that will underestimate them. I wonder how they are on the logistical end. Yeah it is a stretch but Russia definitely can fight two wars at the same time if fully mobilized. At least for now. Not against two "peers" though. Not that they would actually win apparently haha. Like WTF! I definitely would have bet money saying Russia would have won by now if you asked me if they'd win in over a year.

  1536. So would you rather have us paying these guys for nuclear fusion or for weapons? Both have technologies or new processes that advance society even if the end goal isn't achieved. So I don't mind. We have to keep the harder scientist actually employed. I am not convinced fusion is profitable. What I mean is we already have fusion in the sky. Hard to compete with something that is free, over produces, has no maintenance, and all we have to do is capture said fusion.

  1537. Give it five years from this writing. Batteries really aren't up to snuff I think for a truck that will cost 20k more. I also think construction or blue collared workers are anti EV crowd in general. Same with farmers. I see a lot who will give any reason - usually out dated - to why EVs suck. So just selling an EV to those who want a construction truck will be tough. Anyway give it five years, and EVs will basically be so much better in many ways over ICE. 500kw/kg batteries are in production as I write this. You'll get huge instant torque, incredibly cheap fuel, and so much cheaper on maintenance. Everyone forgets about how much maintenance ICE need. At the cost of having to charge for twenty minutes every 300 miles. Oh and loss of performance in cold weather, but I hear that is getting a lot better especially with solid state batteries. Not to mention car companies are getting better at insulating and controlling tempature. I hope more companies who are serious on EVs start really funding good super charging stations... Having a few chargers in a big city isn't enough... You'll need more spread out every 30 minutes or so to scratch that range anxiety. It isn't even range anxiety. It is charge anxiety. Going out 30 minutes to a charger to have to wait must suck.

Wondering what a non nuclear WWIII will turn out. A bunch of easier but less sophisiticated craft piloted by drone pilots I'm sure. Yet then you risk losing your fleet of drones if the enemy somehow manages to disrupt communication!

  1539. So many defending Russia, and making excuses for the Moskova. The thing is... Ukraine has been hammering the entire Black Sea Fleet! Not just one fluke with one ship. What is it. 1/3rd damaged and destroyed? Russian failings cannot just be down to one offs. Their failings are root deep with everything from corruption to poor technology and maintenance of said technology. Even if it is lack of maintenance or wasn't used right. That is still a failure in technology. It's bad design if it needs lab conditions to work. It is hilarious to me how bad people try to defend Russian equipment. Moskova was said to be hit by two anti ship weapons by the way . Only thing about the story is that the Neptune's work as intended, and Russian equipment does not.

  1540. Mathmatics is a made up tool to help us grasp, and predict. It is not actually a thing the universe cares for. We ars just beyond cavemen.

Of course this is after the AI revolution, and genetic modification evolution. Since ya know we are seemingly getting dumber.

  1541. ​ @AbeYousef I feel like sky scapers are so far up high with their own little unique chaotic weather systems. I mean I've seen videos of simulations on what is happening especially in a place with multiple sky scrapers, and it is wild from floor to floor building to building. Sky scrapers may not have issues generating wind speed at all is what I am saying. Controlling it definitely would be the issue. With that said using those empty maintenence floors is a good idea. It would have to be a robust system being able to capture all the chaotic air, and controlling the flow in times of strong wind.

  1542. Yeah even the local governments on the small scale are corrupt with just the most bizarre things. China is trying to push its regions to be greener. Literally, have plants. Instead of planting plants, they planted rebar. Put cotton on it. Then painted it green. So when the surveyor flew over it looked like there was foliage so the local governments would be rewarded. I use to think the West was the worse. Yet the more I learn about the world, and other places I realize... Humans on a large scale are screwed up, but it would be MUCH worse if the West wasn't dominate. .

  1543. It is literally the most famous big gun of WWII short of battleship cannons! Most people don't even know it is for AA purposes. It's one hell of a gun and wish I could see it in action. Also using drones as Foward Observers is... Just common sense. One thing I am sick of is this... When we see a squad of Americans rolling up with .50cals pulverized some building we never said "lol derrr that gun is over a century old! Losers!" So why in gods name are we doing it here? Especially when it comes to the tanks - sure they are old AF but they are still heavily armored with at least a 100mm cannon and will ruin your day a mile out while pulverizing your rotten corpse until nothing is left to identify. Go Ukraine though! Show them commie invaders who's land it is!

  1547. @tedwong7037  Absolutely. I didn't say America can make the best stuff on its own. In fact. Trumps going to ruin America with his poorly thought out strategies, and isolationism. It is a global world, with global corperations, getting the best of the best, and not the 1950s. No country can make a 2nm chip on its own. Trump slashes education while thinking that will improve anything. America says they have Intel. Intels primary computer engineers designing the chips for example are in Israel, and Intel is a failing company. Yet when people say Taiwan is the one doing everything. No. TSMC is like a craftsman. They don't make the tools, but are the most skilled with it. They give ideas, and make some specialized parts or have trade secrets. Their gap is 2-3 years ahead. Yet both ASLM and TSMC do rely on America, Japan, Europe, and even China. I am so furious with Republicans. Bending the knee to American corperations who can't compete in god damn anything. Pushing outdated tech from EVs to gas plants. This is the fall of America. This presidency. Their choices. Backing Russia over Europe. I hope Europe straight up screws us, and Red states like they were planning.

The fact people were shocked is quite literally depressing. War isn't a video game. Once he started dropping names of agents who are just a cog? Yeah I have issues with that and same with giving the enemy intel to boot. He became political and would do anything to get at America. If they released names and proof of people who were committing war crimes on purpose then I am up for it. Justice should be served, and people should be punished. Boohoo on his isolation. He himself got people killed.

All the antibiotics I've been loaded with due to nearly dying to SBP also didn't help my situation over all last year and the beginning of this. I was on loads of medicine for IBS and GERD but nothing helped and then I started drinking Kefir since it was high in fat and protein and suppose to be healthy. And bam! My GERD absolutely went away after two weeks and my stomach as a whole feels much much better. I'm not saying it will help you but it helped me. About 2 to 4 ounces a day seems to be all I need. I sometimes forget for a few days and boy do I start regretting that. I bought fiber but this video scared me off due to the fact I cannot mix it properly due to liquid restrictions.

  1555. Judging by the war in Ukraine and the distances? A DMR seems sort of perfect sense ATM especially when units start getting those fancy schmamcy optics. The army for whatever reason believes penetration of armor is a huge issue too. I would've gone with General Dynamics bid personally though. I don't see this as a huge improvement. A bullpen allows you get the same velocity in a shorter weapon or longer barrel for more velocity. For people like myself who weren't raised from birth on an m4? A bullpup isn't that much more difficult to reload or shoot. In fact because the weight is closer to the shoulder I find it a bit easier to snap to targets. Anyways optics is going to make or break weapons going forward.

An advanced matrix you couldn't seperate from real life if in it. Able to alter your memories. Able to be a god, and feel anything possible without drugs. Set it up so you wake up every X years to change it. Robots and a small population are left awake to take care of the pods. Why try to rule even a part of a galaxy when you can live off fusion from stars. Just send enough colonies and generational ship out to live to those who reject the matrix. Still make an AI that watches those branches of humanity of course. Don't want them coming back all war like or changed destroying your peaceful civilization. I would live in a matrix. Reality sucks. I definitely would be a demi god.

  1557. My favorite aircraft yet it was only reliable, rugged, and cheap. I'm not actually sure how effective the GAU actually was compared to bombs. I do know the vets I talked with who actually had to deal with it a considerable amount of times were very sketched out about the accuracy or targeting of the gun. One Ranger said he would rather have an F 16 drop A JDAM or an AC 130. They were deathly afraid of calling in one close by. With that said I think people forget about how important moral is in battle. Nothing like knowing you have a flying tank guarding your position... I also have NO clue what the hell I would even do if I was on the receiving side, and saw one turning for a strafing run. Outside of standing in fear crapping my pants? I think I'd rather charge the m249 kill box! Anyway the A 10 and SU 25 are great for the cameras if you've all noticed since they can actually be seen. You don't really see other fifth gen fighters when they strike. I guess the AF did recently test the cannon is still effective against MBTs. I couldn't get exact details on the damn test.

  1558.  @JoaoSoares-rs6ec  They actually made it less accurate. When I say I meant the process. The gun is a monster! Yet is on a flying platform that relies heavily on the skill of the pilot, and is effected by the weather. It is much less accurate than precision guidance weapons, and a hell of a lot harder to pull off!

They seem like happy animals but I actually don't know because I am just human unlike you who is clearly superior and knows what animals feel. You're a hypocrite. You're the one bringing up other arguments aren't ya? I simply stated a fact about these animals would have a harsher life in nature. Now you're off on a tangent talking about a huge industry. Why does it matter if in the end they wind up on someone's plate but have a good life. I'd take the deal because life is worth living even if it meant I was being fed to something. Yeah I am human and an omnivore. Meat believe it or not is good for you so yes I will eat it. Oh and I don't like Hamburgers. Go ahead and go buy some out of season fruit and vegs at your local supermarket and act superior to everyone while crying a river with a bleeding heart. There is no reason with someone like you.

I'm not going to sit there and believe for an instant I know what the hell a bird thinks though. I am not as delusional as you. I would take the life if I didn't know I was going to be consumed. Even then live a good life and die doesn't sound all that bad. So should we not have dogs because we keep them as pets? I don't mean puppy mills that abuse the crap of out of them... Might as well abort them too or just outright kill the ones that are born.

  1561. This is why I have a base in a Volcano with Mike Myers. The walls outside are made out of diamond Kevlar, Steel, Glass, charred wood, and blessed virgin blood and the inside is made out of lead. Which is great for things like this. I can shield myself with my lead plates and spoon. I will be safe, suckers! Bwahaha!

  1562. Agreed. The issue though for Tesla, and I think just EVs in general however is that car enthusiasts can't stand them. Basically somewhere along the way EVs and Tesla alienated the car enthusiast crowd. EVs are portrayed as being driven by some hippie vegan software engineer who is a snow flake. It is a shame as EVs are awesome. I want them for the raw instant torque... Batteries have loads of potential, and are less complicated over the lifespan of the vehicle. Like I'm sorry, but the Hummer EV makes a Ford 150 blowing coal look like a bitch! No one is saving the world in either.

  1563.  @ILOVEDV  You are right EVs trucks don't compare. Way more power, and torque. Faster. Instant power to boot. Just less range, but even that is improving. Easier to maintain. Hell you can even live 100% off the grid. They've got solar trailers you can haul, park, and charge wherever you can place a trailer legally. ICE are stuck. They aren't going to be getting much better. See now you don't even know what you are talking about. The F 150 can be Diesel... Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean you have to spread it.

  1564. MSG is amazing for sure. Don't let people scare you from it. Unless you have health issues. Like all things moderation is key. I have lived and kidney failure so I have to go easy and pay attention. MSG is 40 percent sodium IIRC and I use less of it than I would with salt. It sadly still makes you retain water though, but from studies I've read it isn't as bad as sodium chloride. Glutamates and other aminoacids are also real tasty. Want something similar to soy sauce but with much less salt? Try Braggs coconut amino. Dry mushrooms powder, seaweed like Kombu for soup! Yeast extract and nutrional yeast are also good. PS: Try limiting your salt to as close as zero as you can. It is nigh impossible, but after a week or two you will become SUPER sensitive to it. Was testing my stew and had no salt in it so I added like four tiny fine table salt granules in a tablespoon and it was like night and day. Before I would have needed a HELL of a lot more to register it.

  1567. Russia is full of BS. Maybe Ukraine was suffering more loses due to shortages. Yet Russia is known for their brute force attacks through trenches defended by minefields with drone /artillery support. Don't care who you are. If they had a 5 to 1 advantage they'd clearly be winning the war seeing as they have 1.3 million troops versus Ukraines 800k... Their entire population is only 41 million, and aren't using their younger generation on purpose. Anyone with a logical brain can see that the math doesn't add up. With that said I don't know the numbers. They are all over the place by everyone.

  1568.  @fatdoi003  Nah they are building new F-15EX. Keyword is building as the older frames reach their service life. (Wonder if we mothball them because theoretically they may still be able to be fixed? Keep parts still able to be used? Sell them to desperate countries? Scrap?)

  1569.  @justiron2999  Yeah or sell them to countries that are willing to have older airframes and possibly recycle the money for an other aircraft. Give them to the USMC haha. I have read we cannot recreate the B1-b pivot joint. I call pure BS on that. I bet we could do better even with newer production and material processes. It's a shame that beauty is going though as now the closest thing to a low altitude supersonic bomber is our strike fighters. Then again maybe we don't need super heavy bombers at all with prescicion guided weapons and Bombs like the CBU. Project Mayhem is in the works and I've read the AF is considering a program for the F16.

  1570. Tie it to a ballistic computer, a targeting system, and a .50 cal plus automated gun that can move incredibly fast. Basically make the Expanse "PDF" systems. Add to every vehicle. Profit. Not sure how good these would be at actually giving targeting data for a ballistic lock. People forget seeing isn't enough for radar.

  1572. They could have made it look, and taste like anything they wanted. So they picked raw meat/burgers. Selling to vegans. Not enough research to get cost down so they sell to luxury who can afford any food they want. Great idea. They should have sold it as a meat substitute, with the same nutrients, that has zero flaws, and tastes the same every time. Should have never even talked about how they make it. Act like it was a new type of tofu. People would have been like this stuff is brilliant. Just like meat, but not exactly! (Which is a complaint I hear the most. People expect it to be a replica. It isn't.)

  1574. Well. That, and the fact Europe disintegrated into god knows how many little isolated kingdoms after Rome fell. Even the New Holy Roman Empire was nuts after Charlemagne died. Literacy basically became non existent with the Church gaining power through it. Europe stopped making huge monuments or other great buildings like the aqueducts, relative to others. I mean this is of course Western Europe. The Byzantine Empire chugged along quite well.

  1575. ​ @divermike8943 Well yeah. Who knows. I just wanna say I say a verifiable UFO with a friend. I will save you the story. I seen the same thing as Alex here did actually, in Connecticut no less. Anyway when my friend and I saw it there were no cell phones with good cameras. Especially at night. Long story short it hovered for a few minutes before taking off over the horizon, popping back up seen cutting right towards the ocean. It had like no acceleration. My friend for the next month called me at all times of the night asking me to look X direction of the sky. Ugh it was annoying. I had to be like dude I can hear the rotors it is a helicopter. Or be like that is definitely an airliner. Anyway just was saying paranoia is real when it comes to these things. While we both did see something crazy. We haven't seen an other since. First one was unexplainable for being silent while hovering before taking off like a bullet. All the other ones clearly were traditional aircraft. What I seen is known as the Tr3b. Found out years later online! Use to be a common UFO. Alex saw that shit right above him. Answered the question myself friend and I didn't know. If it was big high up or small down low. Turns out it is simply massive.

  1576. Keep the sugar. Go back to real sugar and glass. The only way I'll buy a coke. (PS check the bottle because there are cokes in glass that still use corn syrup.) Also who just drinks coke without a lunch or dinner type meal. I've never been a big soda drinker but I do like having a 10oz Dr Pepper to wash down dinner... But drinking a soft drink without pizza or like food? Nope! I've put coke in coke and it was not good. The cocaine overpowers any sweetness and doesn't quench the thirst. Wasted a few large lines if you ask me.

  1577. Yeah it is more about less profits then anything. The first time I heard about it? I was like BS. They are just trying to milk the extra profit people now have.

  1578. ​ @SGTGGeorge Battery EVs are already just as good as any fuel cell, because we cannot find a way to tackle hydrogens volumetric density issues. The Mirai is heavier than a Model 3, and has less space due to the storage tanks. Very similar ranges if made today with newer technologies. I just don't see anyway past this problem. Especially when there are batteries being produced today with 500 w/kg! To put it into perspective the best Tesla has is less than 296. Many think closer to 260 or even 240. Those 500 w/kg are made by Amprius who is trying to scale up fast. Chinese companies say they have made 500 to 711w/kg batteries. Hydrogens time for being a great energy carrier is just gone outside of niche applications. Even after the volumetric density issue there are others like high cost of a catalyst. Cost of actually producing hydrogen. Zero infrastructure. Troubles storing it. Dangers of leaks. I wish I was wrong, but I'd bet I am right unless some storage medium break through happens.

  1580. Can't wait for society to be totally away from gas. It will take 50 years at least. Yet we are getting there. Once we electrify the gas fields in the West will be good enough to make plastic, or medicines. Even plastics can be made from biofuels like phytoplankton or algae. Anyway the US will no longer have to secure gas for the allies from Saudia Arabia. We can leave the middle east, and Russia behind. I wonder what the new black gold will be? What will be the next essential resource? Mark my words. Gallium prices will continue to sky rocket! Invest in it.

  1581. Pattern welding or Damascus steel knives actually can be better if made correctly. You can have both a hard and tough blade. A lot of effort and skill required though and I'm sure a pure super alloy is probably better in many ways.

Easier to ruin the entire thing like cracks. Or losing the properties that make it so special? Wonder if its even worth it. If I had the cash and wasn't dying I would want to learn how to make blades for a hobby. Make my own sword one day - nothing stupid fancy. Just a blade that is balanced, with a solid edge that doesn't chip easily and enough flexibility to not shatter. (Not like the cheap wall hangers). Start with grinding knives and work my way up.

  1583.  @chrissmith7669  I think I get the gist. Have a link on the issue? So the wire harness is where all the wires that control the stabilizer were vulnerable to electric magnetic waves? Why did it do cause a short or just trigger some mechanical servo? You would think military aircraft would be epecially fortified against any type of electrical radiation. One of things that I did learn about this article is that this is the first ground up aircraft to be deigned using fly-by-wire. I forget how old our systems are how quickly technology has developed. They did update it to be Fly By Wire I guess in 2011.

  1584.  @jtjames79  I can see something sort of happening in the future for a parachute. Think more Titanfall esque falling that could cushion a fall to 10mph along with a wing suit. Using it in a pinch to actually fly for short bursts or use it to go up steep terrain at slower power. Waiting on all these new battery technologies that are supposedly going to revolutionize the world. Energy density is the biggest issue by far.

  1585.  @dct124   @dct124  What are you talking about it cannot manuever? I'm watching videos of both and the Defiant doesn't seem to be that much faster like at all. One thing I do know is the both have the benefit of future software avionic updates to flight control systems for better manueverability. That thing can fly sideways and switch directions pretty quickly and transition on landing and taking off. Have you seen the videos of it in action? The footprint is bigger and that's the only disadvantage. The Defiant isnt small either. The speed and range will make up for it. There are ways to insert troops without the need of touching the ground as well.

  1587. Grow up. If anyone is blocking it? It is those who make today's traditional valve trains. The ones who build them, and maintain them. EV makers don't have to worry about any ICE developments. The future is pretty clear the future is EVs. The reality is people don't want to invest in ICE developments, when the future points to EVs. Why invest in a tech when there is a better one coming up making your investment obsolete? Besides why use this design when there is a better one that uses just one cylinder for both intake and exhaust. It is called... The Rotary Valve. Look up BCS Rotary Valve I think it were. Oh and the issue is the seals in order for them to work.

  1591. If structural batteries take off... You could use that as the frame itself to help keep the charge. It just needs to alleviate the weight. Make it simple and add in a third arm like a camera jig connected to the legs/ground. That way the soldier still has his arms and the weight distributed.

  1592. I don't know many Americans who believe we are the best except for online fools. China also misleads on how strong they are. You aren't ever going to get any negativity from China. Are you kidding me? The entire government spends more than entire countries on propaganda, civil security, and saving face. China so far has proven they cannot innovate. They've had to either steal or copy. Twenty years from now? Sure... I do agree with you on western governments having flaws. We are clunky, short sighted, and don't always focus in on what we should. The whole supporting microchips, and other electronic manufacturing though has given me some hope. We might not be ASLM for instance but we still are leaders in many pieces of the entire puzzle for many technologies. Also only Europe comes close to touching America in the aerospace industry. One thing America is good for that does help. We are a country who people do want to move to relative to many others with Europe being the other. No one with talent wants to move to Russia or China. Even places like Japan are notioursly polite but also very xenophobic.

  1593. Material science would need one hell of a breakthrough. Armaments are just too powerful. Have you seen new missile/bomb/videos done on ships? One hit and there it goes. Sadly short of a submarine I think smaller the better. Better to have 100 ships than 10 big ones IMO. It would be cool to see what a modern state of the art battleship in action though. Ever hear about spin launch? Maybe a spin launch system can be used to launch huge projectiles halfway across the earth. Maybe it would be used for logistic purposes. Think of a heavily armed space station. Still swarms are the future.

  1594. I am sure there are a lot of ancient technologies that were never recorded or the records themselves deteriorated. Then finally kept in records, and continued to be passed on. Chinese were incredible with their record keeping for sure. Meticulous, and had an entire caste of scribes century after century working. It is probably why so many things seem invented there when it could be invented somewhere else. Pasta is a good example. I bet it was created way before anyone decided to write about it. The ten digit numerial system I think is amazing. Zero is such an abstract idea, and didn't exsist in Europe really till the 12th century till conflict in the Middle East. The oldest trace is from Babylonia. Romans did not have zero. Greeks only occasionally used it.(So I guess Europe did have it). Anyway it blew my mind. Then when you think about it. Doing complex math in roman numerials is horrific. So Romans... Great Engineers. Terrible mathematicians.

  1597. ​ @krazytroutcatcher Some of you are partying like it is 1999 still, or some of you think that Smart Phones are new technology, hah. EVs are here if you haven't noticed. The thing about batteries? They are getting cheaper, safer, charge faster, getting lighter, and holding more power. Then compared to fuel cells they will give more power, and have lower volumetric density then hydrogen. Oh EVs are safer in crashes, and so much more reliable than the ICE. Less maintence too. Sure they burn worse, but they also catch fire less. Burning is burning. ICE is dead in the water. You'll need more and more complicated crap to get any miniscule improvement. We have solid state batteries coming out which are a leap toward. Then lithium Air chemistry is the future, and will have the potential to be ten to fifty times better than current batteries as I write this. Oh with pure EVs? If you had the money you can charge off the grid at your home. No need to worry about gas stations running out of gas every time some disaster might happen. Or gas prices going up daily. There are people with solar trailers who will go camping, hunting, and fishing and charge their vehicle in the sun while they fish all day. Also if you guys think mining and battery companies are somehow more evil then oil and hydrogen companies? Well you're smoking some of that good stuff, because they are ALL greedy and ALL want all of your money. By the way lithium is everywhere. Mining it is also getting easier and less of a hazard. There are companies working on extracting it from sea water. But hey don't buy an EV. Personally I like them because they blow ICE out of the water. I dont need to drive 10 hours straight daily without breaks like apparently you guys do. Will be blowing by you guys in your ICE soon.

So many items today were saved due to Europeans taking things, that would have just been destroyed by ignorant locals, or melted and scrapped to make room for something stupid like a farm. That is the real irony of it all. Look at China. It has destroyed so much of its own history for room for everything else. Anyway Europe is stupid. Complain about having no room, and expensive rent, but won't build high.

  1602. Yup, and you guys complain about high rents, living expenses, and no where to live close to jobs. Then don't build high. Hah. Dumb AF to live in some house with poor plumbing, and electricity outlets/wiring. It is possible to build nice things today, keep a certain aesthetic, and keep important houses.

  1603. ​ @SebastianRosca The military disagrees. You are absolutely right that 28nm chips can do most of the jobs, but it isn't ideal. Having smaller more powerful chips are amazing for the upcoming tech. Why? EW, sensors, and radar amongst AI, AI wingman, and especially drones. The amount of information being processed by even more powerful sensors will be astounding, and you'll need a more powerful chip for all the data while keeping total packaging small. Also they use less power too. Sams goes for EW suites. The USAF is pushing hard for AI Wingman to fly that are superior to human pilots. That will require an insane computer to run, and keep cool. The future is small drones that can fly autonomously together navigating the world in formation, all while taking information in for targetting. Working together as one to identify those targets, and the best way to destroy them. I don't have to type why miniaturization of chips is a good thing for that. You'll need smaller, but more importantly lighter chips for them to fly further with more space dedicated to payload. Then at home you have huge super computers for research and development. For information gathering. Also more precise navigation is possible with faster chips which is a good thing when GPS gete knocked out by brute forcing. Anyway I can keep going on. Remember miniaturizing helps ALL the advanced technologies like sensors and radar. It isnt just CPUs that benefit. So Russia is years behind, and just had an extraordinary amount of brain drain happen. Millions of educated people with the cash left the country at the start of the war, and during the draft. It is actually insane, because they already had a huge demographic issue. Speaking of that. Fun fact. During the 80s over 25 to as high as 40% of Soviets tax revenue came from VODKA depending on source. Their death rate is extremely high due to alcoholism during the Soviet era where the average citizen spent 20-40% of their paycheck in Vodka. When the Soviets tried to cut people off? They lost that portion of their budget, straining the economy even worse, and some say that was a good part to why the Soviet Union collapse! It got worse after the collapse. After that the Russua federation tried to do something again, but the citizens turned to worse drugs. So they stopped it in the 2010s. Look up Polymatters video on Russias population decline. Just watched it. It was interesting as I didn't realize how bad it was.

  1604.  @elementalgolem5498  Yeah. Last time I heard the Military wasn't interested. They SHOULD be. Take some lessons from Isreal newest tank as well. If anyone hasn't seen the situational awareness of it they should. Everything from radar to 360 cameras. Add some anti drone capabilities I think is essential. But yeah. Stealth hybrids just seen like the best solution. China is more sophisticated than Russia, and has more thermal capabilities. We need force multipliers, and the Ukraine war has shown us how greatly first shot increases your odds at surviving.

They don't even have enough sense to make a sewer plant, and complain about water usage? Sounds like they are corrupt. Are people of Mexico so dumb, and ignorant, that they don't know soda is bad? I am sure they are as smart as us, and know better. You all act like they are forced to drink it. They aren't. They have options. Mexicans have very tasty other options for sure. Coke to me is nasty. They have done some horrible things, but everything in this video. I shouldn't have to defend them, but everything posted in this video is either the governments, and peoples fault. The real problem in today's society is that no one takes responsibility for their own situation, or actions. It is always something else, huh? Like how I was told, like my father. Put down the bottle. Maybe vote for people who will actually make a water treatment plant. That is bare minimum stuff for a government.

I advise a blind taste test, or else you automatically will believe HCS taste worse, because pretentious online people swear it is the devil.(taste wise.) Yet people swear by Mexican coke. Just be careful as bottlers caught on, and will make the bottle look like Mexican coke, but it will have HFS in it. So read the label! Neotame is an other level of sweetener. Should be used more so products can use less sugar. Fun fact about sugar. Some zoos stopped feeding their animals fruit, because fruit has so much more sugar content it became an issue! So remember that when someone is munching on some fruit telling you it is way better than this or that. (Also many juices have just as much if not more sugar than soda.)

Not sure if America would have been able go supply Russia like it did without the UK and their Navy! Then he uhhh randomly said off with the Irish. Leave that island alone it isn't worth the effort.

  1609. Old eugenics? Yes! Absolutely! They tried using science to prove whites were superior, lol. So it has a nasty connotation. New/Neo Eugenics is the modern school of thought we should use genetic engineering to improve the genepool, and humans. Target certain genetic disorders, and things like allergies at first. Outright make superior humans second. Basically modify someone before and after birth. Medical advances have let people reproduce when they probably would not have. It is a great thing, but they are spreading certain disorders like it or not. Or gene pool is being degraded. We all have inhereted something not so good right? Well with GE we can eventually change that. Neo eugenics thinks we should fix any negative condition we can, and improve the gene pool. I think genetic engineering is the future of humanity anyway. (Including nano tech, and cybernetics.) So I am liberal, and I am for neo eugenics if it matters. Elon just seems like an outright racist, and Nazi. PS. Neo Eugenics is all about making humans healthier, smarter, and stronger. It really has nothing to do with the political or societal impacts. (Or shouldnt. ) Yet people hear the word eugenics, and link it to Nazis. Well no one should force it on others. At the same time, it is for all races, and people's. We just need to make it affordable to everyone. Personally please sign me up for genetic engineering testing to live longer, be smarter, or stronger! I'll take the chance if there is like even a 10% chance ill regress back into a salamander.

  1614. It definitely woke up America and allied weapon manufacturers should thank Putin and Ukraine for their blood. We also get to test some of our weapons and see what really works and what doesn't. What is cost effective and what isn't. Only the Navy and Airforce aren't getting much data except for the fact Warhogs are basically a death trap. South Korea is making bank too! Either way a war with China will always be to cut them off from oil and destroy their ports and infrastructure. I am worried about how exposed carriers are to barrages of land based hypersonic missiles. We don't have the standoff range yet - the Navy needs to get that extra long range FAXX and missiles already! Hesr it is going to be like the Tomcat - massive interceptor with the ability to carry larger missiles.

The wildlife will most likely be fine as far as I know and probably will prosper in the massive reservoir if they do it well. Now some say this will trigger WWIII. I doubt that but Egypt literally has threatened they will blow it up multiple times from what I understand. I hope it works as intended and the Nile doesn't flood or really change anything except for those who need the electricity. God knows Ethiopia desperately does! I hear they could become a major power if they continue to grow and prosper without more wars.

  1616. I always wondered if it was possible to create an Hot Air Rigid Airship that stays aloft using solar. Basically you would have solar covering it storing electricity that would be used to heat up air inside the ship causing it to float. Also using the same electricity to power the fans for maneuvering. This would allow you to basically float indefinitely without the need for refilling except for supplies. Of course you could have a small hydrogen back up generator as well just in case. Yet this would beat hydrogen or helium airships that tend to leak, and need to be refilled. Helium is limited, and expensive. While I don't think Hydrogen is as vad as people say? There is always that risk. If I were filthy rich I would build that instead. Have a nice little flying condo that is always moving so I can stare down at ya filthy peasants with a telescope, and gods eye view. When I mentioned it to someone else. They told me to boil water as steam does have a lot of lifting capacity.

  1619.  @chiazamlife4159  People are going to hate it because it's a tilt rotor, and find every damn excuse from bribes to safety records to demonish the aircraft. Osprey has a similar safety record to other helicopters however the crashes did involve large amounts of people. People are saying it's too complex. Like a contra rotating coaxial pusher prop helicopter is freaking simple. Even though it's rigid I hear the Defiant has a very complex gearbox, and suspension system due to the sheer amount of vibrations the design has. What are the dimensions of both? I can't find them anywhere. Online states the Valor is about 25m in width. Also read the Defiant is 11m in height. I think both are wrong.

  1620. Don't know why we got away from Flak style ammunition to be honest. The Orieklon and Italians have it right. The Italians are testing a new Super Rapid 75mm to fire at 200rpm. Add AHEAD ammo to that with an amazing fire control system, and a ship could defend against any Hypersonic missile attacking it. Afterall Hypersonic have to turn into the target.

  1621. There are some therotical situations that are time sensitive. Or targets that are valuable enough. Like a Submarine or a Carrier. Outside of that yup. Also, good luck hitting a moving carrier with a hypersonic missile. Last time I checked scram jets created some type of electromagnetic barrier causing you to be unable to communicate with it. This also makes you unable to make it stealth as the air passing it makes that bright to radars. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway like all technologies it will get cheaper. Although we pay missiles for what they can do. Not how much they are actually worth to make. Which makes no sense to me. If we pay for RnD. Why we paying for it again once we buy them. Once you have the specs and facility up it to make it the cost should go down significantly. Yet things like Stingers have gone up by multiple times.

  1623. As someone with a lot of health issues. Salt is real tricky since I have both stage 4 liver disease which turned into also having stage 4 kidney disease. I should have bare minimal sodium. Technically all people can just get it naturally from eating healthy food. People don't realize salt is in basically all veggies, fruits, milk, and meats. If you're eating healthy you're good to go! In today's modern food its pretty much impossible to go without it. Now if you're an athlete eating just veggies and drinking just water? Or working in the sun? Yeah you can easily lose all your electrolytes and that obviously can be a serious issue! Now back to my condition. I should avoid all. Fluid retention does terrible things to me and sodium is one extra strain on heart rate (not BP. HEART.). I also don't make urine - but I do use the bathroom a lot due to medication and have had some serious issues come up due to lack of sodium and potassium! You see potassium especially is terrible for CKD patients and doctors and nurses basically always assume patients are likely to be super high in it which is dangerous. I am not a typical patient and so the lack of liquids and lack of potassium was nearly killing me.

  1626. I feel like there are better precious metals. I honestly only see germanium going up in price due to the unique properties, and uses it has for example. It is also semi rare. Unlike lithium which is just a pain to extract. Palladium, Rhodium are good now. Yet will they still be useful when electric cars are basically mandatory? Basically a precious metal that is incredibly useful for industria purposes. Not saying gold isn't. Gold has some uses, but 90‰ of it is tied up in cosmetics. Silver is more common. Anyway outside of that good point. Edit. Gallium too! Think I am confusing it with germanium honestly. Gallium has so many future uses. Damn it I have to reread about both.

Not only did my fiance die when I was 21, with her brain getting separated due to G Forces when she was trying to see me. My father also killed himself by drunk driving. So many friends gone, and took out innocent people. I want to see his toxicology report. Maybe he had a concussion, but I've done Xanax and it did nothing like this.

  1632. Which ya mean when it enters the body? I suffer from malnutrition because it's hard to eat (liver and kidney failure basically). But yeah I never was one to eat healthy. Lots of salt.

  1633.  @urusaiinu   @urusaiinu  What started the habit? I'm sort of the opposite. Short of drinks and sour candy/deserts food was mainly sustenance. I was rarely someone who would eat something just because it is there and tasty. I also naturally was always a intermittent faster by default. Wouldn't eat till much later in the day as food made me sluggish. Didn't eat healthy but ate a lot and people were always amazed that I wasn't fat. Every girl I've been with gained weight due to my eating habits. It was bizarre how many calories I was burning compared to them and I do believe in faster metabolism. I am-was a very wired dude. Yeah it wasn't till my liver started failing before I had to change diet and really start paying attention to everything. Now my kidneys are blasted too so doubly so as I can OD on a lot of vitamins and minerals. I started reading at first about how to enhance flavor as I have to limit salt and that brought me into the science of food and how it interacts. It is super interesting especially with how 21 amino acids are responsible for so much. I am restricted to 24 ounces of liquid a day. Ugh it is the worse thing about dying. Ironic really that drinking is why I'm dying and I will die thirsty. If I ever get a transplant the first thing I'm doing is chugging a gallon of chocolate milk haha. Nectar of the gods! PS: I just tried Fairlife whole milk. Easy on the gut and has 13g of protein and less sugar(personally wish it had the same as Lactaid Protein as I'm losing 30 cals per cup). I probably couldn't tell it from regular milk in a blind taste test! Give it a try as it is possibly the best drink ounce per ounce that isn't a nutritonal supplement or meal replacement. Wish I liked fat. Been hard getting fat into my diet. Why is all the good tasting yogurt fat free damn it.

The Chinese government has accures nearly 1 trillion in debt I guess from the lines and some aren't being used like they should although I'm not sure if that is due to Covid or it was happening before hand. Honestly just make a coast line one. No reason places like Boston, NYC, Philly, DC can't have one and maybe down to FL hitting up Atlanta etc. Phily to Chicago. China does have the population density to pull it off but let's see if they can keep maintaining the lines. Americans still want the golden dream of having their own house as well. I would be happy with just freaking local networks being improved.

I can't believe how many armies sorely underestimate their enemies willingness to fight. Even Russia just did it with Ukraine. What makes these generals or politicians think capturing a city equals victory anyway? Even if Germany got further, and took more of the majior cities. They communist just had to go defend the mountains. They had supplies on the other side, and majior factories past the Urals! Fun fact. Horses were mainly used to transport supplies. Basically it went rail roads, then horses. Oh, and Germany couldn't use Russian rail due to different rail gauges. Well I doubt that mattered since Russia practiced scorch earth policies.

Smoking weed. Looking out for other Crown Vics since we always assumed they were cops. I still can recognize the headlights on a Crown Vic at night behind ya. Remember my friend and I smoking while driving, and other cars would slow down thinking we were cops, hah.

  1640. Shit will kill you along with benzos! Its why I drank so long as I was dealthy afraid of withdrawaling. I hate them with a passion and already had my time with opiates (methadone. Hell on earth at my dose and you withdrawal weeks upon weeks.) I actually sort of got lucky in a fucked up way when I quit alcohol ‐ decided to quit as I was at 1 liter of vodka a day. Took my last shot and went in and was brought to the ER. Told I had just days to live ‐ that's how bad I was. I had a minor surgery on my anus, and later that day I ruptured the stitches and nearly bled out. For the next few weeks I was in an out of consciousness and can hardly remember stuff outside at times I was hallucinating and would see animals running back and forth. Being so sick and on on so much medication I couldn't really focus on anything else if that makes sense. It will be a year come May. Please quit before you become like me. My kidneys ended up failing in September and dying isn't the worse part of the disease. Its the fact I can't fucking drink anything really as I'm on severe liquid restrictions. Only 16ounces a day! God if I ever get a liver and kidney transplant the first thing I'm doing is drinking a large vanilla milk shake till I get brain freeze. I'm going to blind taste different waters. Try all sorts of juices. The only thing I won't drink is alcohol. It SUCKS that I cannot create my own urine. All the liquid goes into my abdomen and I have to get it pumped every 10 days ‐ was 5Liters a week but new treatment has lowered it. It's ironic isn't it... Drinking is what was the last nail for me. And I will die a very thirsty man.

  1641. I'm late. Notice a lot of new anti ship missiles have stupid low range. Well compared to their land based counter parts. I'm not exactly sure why when stand off weapons are the name of the game especially for Naval combat. The new Tomahawk is going to have antiship capabilities but it is slow. The newer NSMs I've read about have a range from 125 to 300km. I guess they are a lot harder to shoot down for whatever reason. Not sure about the newer air to ship missiles either, but at least they have the benefit of being able to be carried close to the target. I don't know i figured we'd be striving for at least 1,000 nautical miles on ship to ship missiles.

  1642. Oh I forgot to mention it. Guess where we get half our nitrogen from for fertilizer from? Fossil fuel production! So it either requires mining, and all the green house gases that entails. Or more likely requires fertilizer produced by fossil fuel production! You can't grow corn on just water, sunshine, and love. We don't live in a Disney movie, where you can sing to crop for it to grow big and strong. Give it hugs and kisses. Put a knob up yer arse, ya sick fucks. Algae and Phytoplankton are the best options. They can produce anywhere from 10-300 times more oil per acre depending on what crop you're comparing it too. I don't remember which one is better. You need sugar or fat to produce biofuel. What an acre of either looks like is beyond me. As all the places I've seen had vertical tunes. Also off topic. While algae is amazingfor nutrition and calories. Phytoplankton is just insane when it comes to how much nutrition you get per gram. Seriously I would die if I ate just a spoon full of it a day, due to how much nutrition and minerals it packs. I have kidney failure (hepatorenal syndrome). No wonder why Whales get so big eating the stuff. Crammed with micro and macro nutrients! Oh snap. Last night I also learned that they've found bones of a whale that is said to be 85 go 345 metric tons compared to a blue whales max 190! More bones are needed, but it may very well be the largest animal to ever exist.

Then everything that happened in between too. And you know what? He WAS right. NATO, and the UN are a joke. Putin called it. The only thing he miscalculated was Ukrainian resolve, how corrupt his military was, and how crap his logistics were. If the Russian plan went accordingly, and they didn't get bogged down, then hit with a counter offensive we wouldn't be having this conversation. Wait till China makes its move on Taiwan. Which wasn't likely, but they see how easily distracted with how Ukraine support wavered so quickly once Isreal was attacked. Anyway it might just be negative bias speaking, but things do seem like they are boiling to me.

  1646. The glass was actually first developed in the 60s for cars and military I beleive. It didn't work out due to manufacturing or economic issues, and then revisited it with modern techniques. It is pretty interesting. I was just watching a video on something not related, and it touched on gorilla glass on the science they figured out back then. Something about electrons? I cannot remember for the life of me, and I am so mad. It was just like a week ago. Why do I learn things for a day.

When I saw this topic I thought you were saying why is no one destroying the enemies artillery hehehe. Seems like Russia specifically has free range to pummel X towns. I guess that's what happens when neither side has air superiority. Anyway yeah I only see people talking about tanks since countries are sending them to Ukarine now. Before that people were discussing how tanks are useless. How Russian new tanks has yet to be seen and Russia bringing decade old tanks out of storage. Past 7 months though many YT videos on artillery. I've learned a lot since then. The only other weapon systems are those talking about Anti Air missiles.

  1651. The AH 1z is surprisingly good. I was quite amazed looking at it. It's like a lighter, faster, Apache that is cheaper. Even has the longbow FCS. I don't think it can cordinate with drones though ATM while the Apache can. I'm not even sure what drones the Marines use anyway. Also a fewer less missiles, 20mm versus 30mm, and less armor but again easier and cheaper to maintain. Spare parts everywhere due to the Huey.

  1652. Yeah maybe it is classified but I thought they were testing lasers on it. Guess that was just all bogus information but there were definitely articles saying this one had much more capabilities. Short of the engine upgrade I'm not sure what else is updated outside of the system it's self. They really didn't go into much detail as the weapons seem similar. I'm suprised there isn't a third station with a WSO for drone control to be honest. I'm a little confused too about the precision... Thought the AC-130 gunships were always notorious for precise firing even back during Vietnam due to the maneuver they do while firing.

  1663. Fighting your enemy? I'm not pro war, but I get it. It is a sad truth about human nature. All cultures surviving today, have done so through blood and conquest. I get the fued too. People are born into the cycle of hate, and both sides have done things to perpetuate it. Isreal is not completely blameless in this cycle. Yet the the first thing Hamas does after taking over the cities? They take their cameras, and start showing their victory by desecrating corpses. Standing over the corpses, and firing into the air wasn't enough to fill their blood last. Oh no no- they have to drag them through the street with ecstatic fervor while shouting praises to Allah. They then video tape themselves gang raping women. Then cutting off their heads and limbs just to drag them through the street. Like the utter violation before their death wasn't enough. They are taking anyone who isn't Palestinian, and keeping them hostage. Most likely to be killed. Then the worse is that they are killing children. I don't have a single ounce of pity or remorse for Palestinians anymore. They apparently have a culture where these acts are okay if it is your enemy. They have raised, fed, housed, and supported people who have this in them. They probably have encouraged it or looked the other way as well. And you know what? I can't say I'm 100% shocked by such acts from them. There is no justification that will sway my opinion. The people of Palestine have showed their true colors, and I hope those colors and flag never rise again after Isreal is done with their retribution. I wish I wasn't agnostic. That way a part of me would believe these people would get their dues in this life or the next.

  1666. ​ @kumarg3598 It isn't communism. Don't be a fool please. There is nothing in capitalism or democracy that says taxes cannot be spent on subsidizing. In fact the government and our taxes currently support tons of businesses. Do you know how much the government gives to subsidize industries like milk or corn? Look into it. The question is a hell a lot more complicated than what you are saying. I agree though - sometimes we give money we shouldn't to foreign countries. Yet there is usually a larger picture that most of us don't understand. Our military for instance is one of the reasons why we are so wealthy. We rarely give anything for free either- there is always a catch 90% of the time. If there isn't then that would just be corruption most likely. (Politicians getting money or something for doing it.) Or the aid is actually just stuff that we don't need anymore. "Hey we don't have any place to store all this grain. It will go bad - how about we give it as charity than say how much in money we gave."

  1667.  @hughmungus2760  I think that really depends on the enemy. Getting cheap drones off even a single battle field seems like a great start to winning any war I think this system is a first generation, and primarily a stepping stone. That is how I see these energy weapons. The first war planes after all were pretty weak. We will see it more often protecting highly valued targets along with other defense. That is what air defense is all about. Then when the enemy counters. We counter them. It is an arms race. There will never be a solution. Hear me out... Automated personal defense cannons. A turret that can target, lock on, and kill incoming drones, aircraft, and slower missiles/munitions. Basically a scaled down phalanx system for vehicles. Can put it on utility vehicles using .50 calibers. Or on a tanks secondary cannons. Or helicopters auto cannons. Imagine you firing off a missile at a helicopter, and its cannon just shoots the missile out of the sky before it hits. Then shoots your drone out of the sky before aiming at you in a hijab. These PD cannons will be on all vehicles. We need that. That should be the future. We have the tech! Guns work perfectly for destroying drones. Then scale it further down to have a shoulder weapon eventually for infantry. That would be dope. Every soldier with an automated shoulder cannon firing bird shot for drone protection. A third arm on the back.

  1677. Hold more ammo. Different kinds of ammo. More versatile. Faster reload. Now we have smart rounds that can attack over targets with EPGs. Now if it was a missile system like a Stinger that could take out drones and low flying helicopters then absolutely add it. Just seems redundant. More cost and weight. IMO all MBTs from here on out should be able to have a FCS that allows them to work as artillery in a pinch. We have the computer power and hardware. That would require somehow to manage charges but it is a no brainer to be able to launch a few 120mm(130, 140, 152mm for future tanks) shells over the horizon. Also all tanks should have a drone it can release to locate targets and come back to charge.

  1678. Yes. Our founding fathers would call us stupid for not keeping up with technology or changing times. I believe the law was in place so people didn't dissapear from the government or crown. Getting arrested without anyone knowing. With technology that isn't a concern and media should be held liable for ruining peoples lives. It is not right, and they should not be able to just spread basically hearsay unless they investigated or have their own evidence. Not just a he said she said. Like if they have a video to show.

  1679.  @Zman44444  A stinger from Uncle Sam, and a Starstreak from the late Majesty and blessed by King Charles. America needs to get it's head in the MANPAD game. Also to be fair this is the first modern conflict with new Western weapons being used. Some analysts say that attack helicopters are incredibly vulnerable regardless of whom or what is flying. Infantry can conceal themselves asily and just wait for a helicopter to get into 5km and bring it down. It's becoming easier to make sophisticated missiles and harder to counter them. Hopefully we see some active systems like a trophy, or EW that works most of the time.

Best case scenario you'd be there chasing the damn thing down scorching it with 2nd to 3rd degree burns as it wildly thrashes around and runs. Oh and you'll probably be setting shit on fire the entire time and blinding people in airplanes. You'd look like a maniac because you would probably be cursing the entire time while running it down. Now if you had a crazy powerful laser that could one shot something quickly without being a complete hazard? Yeah go for it. Even prey deserve a quick and clean death. Better eat the damn thing too - lucky enough you have a laser to put a nice sear on it.

Transnistria/Moldova, provoked the Abkhazian War, first Chechnya War, second Chechnya War, Georgian War, Syria, and finally Ukraine 2014 and 2022‐present. Also doesn't include Wagner, and Russias meddling in Africa. My point is. Russia never faltered a step of trying to project power or puts itsself back together. They just couldn't do it like their grandfathers could. The invasion of Ukraine was supposed to put Russia back on the map as a real contended for being a super duper power. Well THAT failed. Can't really be one if you can't even successfully invade your neighbor. Anyway not saying America is some golden boy. Just that I think it is the better poison.

About 5,110 k-wh/kg is the therotial maximum if you include oxygen like a rocket does. 12,210 k-wh/kg if you use the oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere like a jet engine. There are a few laborities that have already started to get some to work! So let us hope the technology has a breakthrough that can become a generational leap, especially when paired with solid state.

  1696. ​ @kaitlyn__L  I think the difference is that a steam turbine needs heat or steam and pressure. While a Sterling Engine can use the difference in heat. Meaning if you have a geo thermal spot with ice cold water also near it you can extract more power? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that is where the benefit lays. No idea the pressure required for a regular geothermal plant.

  1697. What are you talking about? You are literally supposed to pay attention even with self driving cars... I mean you ARE supposed to do everything you just said just period. Last time I checked you needed a license. It will be like that for a very long time as well, because just like the AI missed the truck? So did the guy. Eventually AI will just be safer overall. I mean I've seen Tesla save us twice as a lyft passenger from an accident by once swerving, and the second hitting the breaks ASAP. Personally I think ultrasonic/radar with optical cameras will be the best combination. One can see everything a human can, and the other can see beyond that. I find it ironic people lose their shit when a car that was self driving crashes or hits something. When it happens once in a blue moon opposed to the thousands of accidents that happen a day with human drivers. Doesn't Google have self driving taxis in some cities now that have a better than human accident rate?

  1698. Well yeah if you're selling lattes! Fun fact. I was looking up how much water it costs to make an EV. For a 64 kwh battery one source said it was real low. Like 400 liters of brine. Well. That equates to half a pair of jeans or 30 cups of coffee. Something like 250 grams of beef. If that source is correct then that is crazy. Sometimes I forget how much water it costs to grow some things or make others. The fashion industry is one that really needs to be looked at, and rarely gets the criticism it deserves. Other estimates were like 40 thousand gallons of sea water.

  1699. Not true. AI for consumers seems like a pipe dream. Who needs AI in their TV or toaster. Where neural networks seem to shine is RnD from what I hear. Calculating fluid dynamics and chemistry.

  1700. I think US just wants to slowly bleed Russia. I say this as an American. If Europe and America were serious about actually ending the war they'd be sending planes and other offensive tools in larger numbers. First for defense but secondly to actually attack Russia... Russia has the benefit of everything being safe and cozy in their home with enough natural resources to create enough to keep the war going. Not their top of the line products mind ya as they don't have the equipment used to make the machines they make the machines and the brain drain screwed them so badly after the fall. If the Ukrainians could attack Russian logistics coming into Ukraine they would have a much better chance of finally ending the war.

  1706. Yeah unless some super duper nano tech allows us to store it in a condensed medium. (As just in case people didn't know. Water holds more hydrogen per liter than liquid hydrogen which I find insane. ) So unless we get some miracle medium to store hydrogen comparable to the density of water? Then it is a no go. Hydrogen cars weigh more than EVs with way less space to get slightly better range. Think 50 to 100 miles more. Whoopty doo. Hydrogen is a pain to store. It is dangerous if not kept properly. It destroys the equipment. It requires cryogenic tempatures or absurd pressures. It loves to leak according to those who work with it. I simply don't see how people look at hydrogen, and think "ah yes. I would love my car to be part blimp. This totally will work". Let us not forget that we'd have to build an entirely new infrastructure. With new battery technology constantly improving year in, and out. Hydrogen makes no sense, and that ship has sailed. If we did this years ago it would be good. Not with battery tech being as it is in the near future. It will only ever be used for niche industries. Don't fund hydrogen. You'll be disappointed.

Not some random parking lot where you sit there twiddling your God damn thumbs for half an hour. Basically if you ask me? Charging isn't where you're making profit at. Selling something else. I'm positive gas stations don't make much on actually selling gas. Follow their buisness model. (All gas stations should start including chargers.) Biden just passed some laws for subsidizes to increase charging stations.

Not being able to destroy their logistic routes into Ukraine, or anything in Russia like air fields or depots. Too little too late. These jets should have been there to support the offensive. At least 60 of them. Also US and Europe seem keen on replacing the lost ordnance they sent. Makes no sense to only send let's say a Bradley after one was destroyed! Just send as many as you can! This is going to be a long as war unless someone offs Putin.

  1712.  @lord6617  I already know the issues Ukraine faces. I didn't say Ukraine should have air superiority did I? Going to explain more obvious things or what? Too little too late. We should have been at the very least training Ukraine pilots since the success of the offensive last year, and then bicker amongst ourselves on how many jets with what weapon systems to include. Should send them more heavy vehicles if we want them to win. Right now I guess we might just start replacing the lost ones. So anyone who criciticiszes NATO and their obvious flaws is a Putin tool? Well you're about as wise as a small child with the mentality of one too... "He likes Putin so he wants NATO to do their job and send more weapons to defeat his army!" Big brain moment there, buddy. NATOZ hss sent.Too little too late. Oh and it isn't like I am saying we should send troops. Just equipment against the enemy NATO was designed to guard European democracies against. People like you who suck on the ball sack of beucracy and don't expect them to do their job in a quickly manner while hundreds of thousands suffer is exactly what's wrong with the world... There was never any real reason for the delays for many governments.

There is a hospital 15 minutes away but sadly they don't accept New Jersey medicaid. So I'm screwed at the moment but at least all my meds except one are covered. I also see a bunch of doctors, on dialysis, get rides to and from medical places. I can't complain. But DURHUR MERICA SUCKS. They don't know what they are talking about. I've lived in poverty both in white and black neighborhoods and there is a shit ton of resources, but sadly people don't even put in the effort to use it. Have people complaining they got their money cut because they weren't filling out applications and didn't have access to the internet.

So they'll use you know a large needle and extract the blood while it is on its way towards the heart. I'm sure some die in the process especially if too much blood is taken but yeah it's not a 100% death sentence. How much is taken from an average sized one I don't know. I wonder if there are farms for this quite honestly. They don't seem like they'd be a particularly troublesome species to breed and keep alive in capitivity but I know absolutely little of them and my experience them wether or not I should walk 30 feet to flip AN OTHER one back over.

  1734. @GonzoDonzo  Yes! Absolutely! That reminds me of the Electric Adaptive Engine from Astra Mechanica. Can act as turbo fan, turbo jet, and ram jet. Powers the compressor/propulsion while being a generator. I'm in love with the concept if it fully works as intended. They have a prototype already. More efficient, and supposedly more powerful. That is crazy you brought up something similar. I wonder how big of an engine would be required for a car. Would be awesome to use it as a power source, and a generator to cut down battery weight, and help electric motors at high RPM. Can be used to power a fan to succ for grip. I hear Transverse Flux Motors are even more power dense than axial flux. I cannot find much on them. I guess Axial Flux are better at higher speeds, but TFMs are good for direct drive lower RPM. However Google says they have potential for EVs, but doesn't say how good they actually are. Doesn't define "lower RPM". Future is bright for cars. A vane engine, hybrid would also be a therotical kick arse car. Up to 70% effiency therotically. Anyway good thinking.

  1735. E Fuels aren't even good for the environment though. Some studies say it is worse even. Especially ethonol. It is a scam really. Maybe if we used algae for biodiesel. Yeah, that wouldn't just make sense, but it produces more per acre. We just haven't found ways to produce it at potential yet, sadly, but people are working on it. One day gas cars may be track only. While I would dislike that in a perfect world... I am willing to sacrifice things I like for the world not to go to hell environmentally. Anyway Porsche can afford it due to who buys them. It will be for rich people or those who really love ICE. I STILL want them to work on EVs though. Suprised they haven't made something like a hybrid where you have a gas turbine (jet) engine as a generator with some axial flux motors. The best axial flux can produce get thus... 800 BHP, at under 55 pounds! Slam two in there for 1,600 HP. Imagine a Porsche built like that. Turbine generators are the most efficent, simplest, and smallest thing that runs on gas. Removing much of the battery weight or having range anxiety. Then the power of an electric motor! Would just mop the floor with any car. Wish them the best.

  1737. If nuclear actually ever fulfilled the promises it always makes i would be down with it. Yet it does not. It is always exceedingly stupid expensive. It always takes a ton of water. Factor in the cost overruns that inevitably always happen. 17 billion as we speak for the one being made in America. Two in Europe which are also struggling. While wind and solar along with batteries are dropping year after year. Also again as you said long term waste and containment is never there. The only idea I can get behind is turning old power plants into nuclear. That is it. Outside of that ill take solar, wind, and large batteries of different types. Pumped storage to X battery chemistry. Oh PS. People also are forgetting about the benefits of not having all your eggs in one basket. A decentralized grid is a good thing. How about instead of huge nuclear plants that are mega projects. We literally give people subsidizes to make their own solar and wind where possible so that kills two birds with one stone. How many homes or towns could you power with the same amount of money? Instead of making one huge farm/plant. You set up ways to pay for the solar, wind, and a battery in full. This would drop prices further too for said systems as who would say no to that?

  1738. In 2006 I saw a triangle shaped craft hovering in the nights sky with a friend. Weird that we could see the silhouette at night yet no noise. Either it meant it was massive, high up, or small and quiet. It had feint lights on the ends, and a weird reddish one in the middle. Almost like it was glass reflecting then a light. After about four minutes of hovering it took off over the horizon in seconds. Headed north before turning east over the ocean. No human as far as I know can survive Gs like that. It did not accelerate. It was more similar to a bullet. Years later I found something called the Tr3b that is commonly seen that fits the description. In fact Alex Hollings or whatever on Sandboxx made a video seeing the same thing in the same state (CT). His video leads me to beleive the craft my friend saw was the same. Was it aliens? Who knows. I sure as hell don't. I do wish I had answers. I find it weird that now that cameras are suddenly available in our palms with insane quality, and yet no new videos since smart phones dropped. Well to my knowledge. It is like once we all had cameras that could record them the stories simply stopped. Weird right?

  1739. ​@@introboy1Yeah, but generally those missiles that can reach the same distance with that payload are generally bigger. Or they have a smaller payload if they are the same size.

Yet I couldn't get specifics on what aircraft were chucking it at what speeds or what heights! I bet it is like from an F 15 going full adtee burner at max altitude at 45 degrees.

The backlash is too big. The world hates America, and President Elon. He would need to come with a massive release to change course. Sell before that lunatic amassea robots. See how he uses starlink as a weapon, threatening shut off to governments? Use your brains. He cannot be trusted.

  1743. ​ @richardmillhousenixon Agreed. Hanlons Razor states. "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity" Then add in the bean counters, manufacturing department, and CEOs opinion on the matter then yeah. Engineers are the scape goat. Surprisingly he had a grudge against the marketing department the most. Admittedly that is only one sample size. I don't come across car engineers too often. I do however believe they only make things to last the extended warranty periods. Yet the accountants or mathmeticians are like look. After calculating everything using so and so is cheaper. Even if we have to fix it more often. In the end this will net us the most profits. Then TADA! You get a relatively crap part when there are better solutions. He made it clear each cut in weight, and cost adds up significantly when youre building thousands and thousands of vehicles. I read new battery chemistries could potentially last a half a mil to a million miles with say 85% charge. Yet everyone knows that will never happen even if it was possible.

  1744.  @draochvar9646  Well I am sure everyone wants the T14 but a working tank is still great to have around. Is it ideal? No. Would I want to be the crew of it? I honestly don't think I'd feel safe in any tank TBH. I think though if I was infantry assaulting a position. I'd definitely would rather have a T62 assisting me over having a few loaded MRAPS. The real issue i think with the T62 is logistics. Is it worth the strain on logistics. I think that's the real argument. I would say put them in a spot where they aren't wasting fuel until attacked.
    1
  1745.  @SimonBauer7  For sure in theroy. Unless the T 62 hits you from the side. Which should be nearly impossible, but hey. Just saw two Bradley's take on a T90m and completely knock it out of the fight. They didn't destroy it, but made it useless so the crew bailed.. So imagine what a 115mm can do even with older ammo. So yeah, it isn't ideal being in a T 62a. Just better then nothing for the most part unless it is sucking up all your fuel or something.. Sadly Russia seems to have gotten their logistics together. Republicans need to get their shit together.

  1746. Haha! Literally every BRICCS country is notoriously corrupt. Even more so then the US ever was... They are just as greedy too. Do you really want the CCP to be in control of your company? Russia who's oligarchs which line their pockets just as bad as any CEO? South Africa which can't even produce its own electricity and water for its people and is falling apart from a developed into a third world? Brazil which did the same as South Africa? India which is a chaotic mess with a class system and corruption as well. Please... Sure there are better countries. Like Japan or Canada - I would trust those governments. Yet saying BRICS isn't a bunch of corrupt countries is like saying the Sun is just warm. The reason why the dollar is used and still used is because America can back it up and world businesses trust it for all its faults. The proof is in the pudding.

Either way congress needs to stop just trying to screw each other over. Americans need to realize one reason that inflation is so bad is due to America losing dominance. All these conflicts are killing trade, and we NEED a strong military to keep the New World Order running. (After WWII) We did it during the Cold War. We can do it now. Canceling this fighter will leave us vulnerable unless they are confident they can replace it quickly. (Yeah right)

  1749.  @jamesgornall5731  Agreed and my thoughts exactly. I feel like super carriers are going the same way too unless the Navy gets those 500kw to 1MW lasers into play. However I do see active protection systems being more advanced and complimenting armor for the next decade or so. Armor will be about protection against shrapnel and explosions or smaller arms. Yet the era of a tank just being a juggernaut is probably surpassed now. I'd still love to see what a modern Maus or Tank Destroyer would be like though! How much armor would it require for it to be nearly impenetrable from anything a soldier or other MBT. Issue is the roads. We maybe able to make heavier tanks but roads and bridges are already a significant issue for tanks like the Abraham's. No point in having any tank if you can't move it no matter how slow.

He was an outsider to the old guard political elite. He wasn't a politican. He did good in debates, and has energy. Said he'd help the average American. Secure the border. While fixing geopolitical situations. Yet he was elected and did none of that. He only helped his buddies and himself with tax cuts. Didn't build the wall or stop illegal aliens. Made us weak geopolitically with our allies, and emboldening our enemies. Cozied up with Putin as he admires him. Destroyed any relations we had with Iran and North Korea. Handled Covid so badly people died listening to him. Not to mention tried to get his cultist to overthrow democracy. That alone should make every Republican sick. He is a sore loser. He is the embodiment of the worse of America into one IMO, and MAGA are a bunch of cultist. I want the old Republican party back. Also I want the Democrats to get their priorities straight. I use to be liberal yet they've gone too far with the political correct crap. Yet Republicans lost their collective minds after Obama was elected. I feel like Trump's only won due to Hillary being just a terrible person. And now our choices are Biden and Trump? What a traversty.

  1754. I have seen multiple people say they get more range sometimes. I don't think they are lying. I just wonder if their meters are wrong. Like are you drafting a few feet from semis on the highway? How are you getting 20 to 30 miles more. Then the Taycon having that much of a difference. What did they say. Nearly 80 miles more? The hell. Anyway that is a scary thought. Having a messed up range meter or gauge. One side note. Auto makers should make more ways to have it where you charge at 20-80%. In fact when the car is at 20% make it say zero. Since min maxing your battery is one guaranteed way to shorten your battery life... Just like ICE cars require things like oil changes. EVs require that to extend the life of the vehicle. Hopefully the government pushes ways for battery swaps to be easier, and those batteries recyable.

  1755. Yeah the hypocrisy is real. Those immigrants wouldn't come here if they didn't have so many family members or friends be like, "Plenty of work." The funniest part is those same people lose their minds when minimum wage was increased. Guess what. Good luck getting Americans for the same wages at those jobs. Wages on many are going have to be raised to attract laborers. With that said. Illegal immigration is illegal everywhere. Don't know why America gets called out for cracking down when essentially others including Europe do it. Poland shoots on sight now at their border. I also don't think wealthy countries should be responsible for the over population of poorer counties. Seriously. Don't expect other countries to carry your burden that you impose on yourself.

  1758. ​ @triplec8375 Perfect for a hybrid set up for sure. Hydrogen? Ahck gross! Hydrogen is terrible for a vehicle outside of certain niches. The volumetric density is just terrible. Taking up half your vehicle, with expensive high pressure tanks! Hydrogen also I am told loves to leak from those who handle it. Loves to destroy the equipment. It is flammable, and can kill you without knowing if the tank does fail! It is currently expensive as well. Let us not mention the lack of infrastructure, and cost of fuel cells using even rarer earths than batteries! Fuel cells are stupid expensive. What really made me realize Hydrogen sucked was Toyota Mirai. The tanks took up so much space of the vehicle, and it weighed nearly 1,000 pounds more than a Model 3 IIRC, with only having 50 to 100 miles more range. It also didn't seem to go as fast for whatever reason. Newer EVs now can have the same mileage(500). Batteries are also improving by like 10-15% down all their metrics from power density to charging times, and even weight. So yeah. I agree. This is a perfect hybrid engine if it works as advertised, and can last. Just use diesel or gas.

Not some people thousands of miles away who made choices generations ago. Maybe I should stop supporting corruption in my own backyard. Stop digging my own grave." Bssically people are saying ex colonists are too ignorant to take precedence. Need a higher race to tell them what to do like a bunch of stupid children? Can't learn to make their own country work or rule themselves after 70 fucking years. People of these countries need to take responsibility for their own situation FFS instead of pointing fingers eh? Nah it is easier to blame white men and ask for more handouts. Then use said handouts to kill each other. They've had plenty of enough time to fix all of this. They don't. Instead they continue to repeat the same mistake. I'm not white either. I just don't blame history for my situation today. I work hard to at least make tomorrow better. I try to learn from history and BE better. This doesn't apply for people like Hong Kong or other recently abandoned countries in various places across the world. I know this comment won't change anything... It is easy playing the victim card instead of taking self responsibility.

  1771. I tried explaining this so many times. Politicians and media blew it out of proportion for their own agendas and stigma will never die like with F 35 losing to 4.5gen fighters. People said oh but it is complex and the for maintenance will be a pain. Like a contra rotating coaxial push prop helicopter is a simple machine. Some act like it 90% of missions will now not be viable... Short of the footprint this is better in basically every metric. Oh and it can't auto rotate. I couldn't find information on Vortex Ring state or if it will have issues with it's exhaust like the Osprey does. People are going to find any excuse to hate the damn thing. I personally think they made the right choice. Helicopters as we know it are reaching physical limitations. Tilt rotor/jet are the future IMO.
    1
  1772.  @ryancamara5689  Agreed with everything you said. I think people are worried it won't be able to insert troops or something due to the larger footprint. I'm thinking in what situation will that make or break a mission where a LZ is not available or cannot be created. We've been using daisy cutters and such for decades now. There's always the option to rapple. So let's say they are correct there will be missions it cannot do. Yet I think overall this opens up MUCH MUCH more options that helicopters cannot do anyway due to lack of speed and range. They made the right choice from a strategic, logistic, and tactical point for a near peer enemy. Army still has the Lakota anyway. Still curious what armaments they will decide to tack on.

  1773. Yeah I have spent hours saying this to people. It is always DuR hurrrrr tilt rotor dangerous. People read some headlines then thought they knew more than the military. Osprey is an amazing aircraft for what it is for especially for its time. First production tilt rotor that has has a stellar record. If you are going to complain. Talk about the price, and that it sets places where it lands on fire. Or it can't auto rotate. The Valor fixes these issues and some. The damn thing can literally hover and land itself. Flying is dangerous. Rotor aircraft even more so. I personally can't wait to see the attack variant. There are mockups of it and they look awesome.

Their population, their antics on stealing technology, and strong government backing – along with Western companies basically handing over technologies or letting them copy it. They should have been the top years ago! Oh I forgot their godly labor that they had with the supply chain. The CCP can literally customize any city regardless of who owns what really. They also prioritize growth over sustainability, and don't care about mining. Anyway BYD, and other Chinese companies will pull ahead. Especially if we can't catch up with battery technology. Or mine our own resources. Or actually stop bickering.

  1776. Lead acid are not great for a few reasons. They have low discharging traits which means they tend to deteriorate if you drain them too often. The levelelized cost isn't there either. It is okay when your alternator will cap it off in a car. Not so much at home. I have seen some online use huge banks of them for their home storage. I think used car batteries no less! Seemed to work to me, but I don't know enough about their particular set ups. So it definitely can be a solution, but honestly now there are a lot better ones especially for energy grid storage. Which I think will be dominated by other chemistries or battery types. Some redox batteries look promising. I will take a lead acid battery over cuckin Energy Vault gravity bricks!

Australia, and New Zealand represent the best of the southern hemisphere my man. South Africa is becoming a third world country again. Some of the benefits of these anti desertification projects are still questionable. Some are monoculture which some say is bad. Others just aren't working. Yet I think we need a way to just battle the heat we create, because no one is going to fully give up their lives. Even if the West became carbon neutral. Other countries will be burning coal, and growing their populations like crazy. Figure out a way to radiate the heat back out into space. Engineer some super Redwood trees that grow as fast as bamboo. Have a 200 foot tree in ten years that people can live in, and capture carbon.

  1784. I'm all for my allies making their own stuff. After hearing about Russia using components from the west and learning how important it is to have the ability to manufacture your own equipment is important and has long term benefits. People think you can just drop money on the issue for components. Yet you need tools. Who makes the tools? You need special metals? Who is creating that? Just going down the rabbit hole of ASLM and TSMC for chip manufacturing was interesting. From water specialists to those who make the specialized mirrors. These jobs and materials and skills required take a ton of time of effort. So its important to keep your manufacturing bases alive and well.

Ukraine has been the best dollar for dollar investment in defense spending. We sold them a ton of weapons so far with more on the way. They weakened Russia.

That is the problem with the far left. They are just as prejudice as any far right. Then mental health. Tackle gang warfare, and suicides, and you automatically get rid of a ton of deaths caused by fire arms. (Also, we never hear statistics on someone brandishing a gun to de-escalate or stop a crime.)

I knew this would happen because Russia had ALL the time in the world to create formidable defenses and get their shit together. I would have taken a book from America though. I would have attempted a hook through Russia and back into Ukraine circumventing most of their lines. I feel like that would have been the only way. Russia thinks Ukraine won't invade them because they were told not to so it might have stood a chance to create a new line in which they could attack from. Ukraine is out numbered and overall out gunned. They have been doing good but have made many mistakes like not sending some form of short to medium range anti air capabilities - allowing Russian helicopters who own the night pick off a tank column.

  1807. I remember my friends cat use to steal our weed if we weren't careful. We had to break it up and close a drawer. It is funny now but it was like n0o0o0 at the time. Especially being young and poor. It ate half an 8th I bought and my dumbass didn't shut the door waiting for a Greeb tube Garcia. Smoked a ton, even trafficked it, and quit for 6 months. After that Weed made me paranoid and anti social now. A small bite of a Gummi was nice, but one hit gives me anxiety.

  1808.  @HH-le1vi Wind is the cheapest form of energy for any new form of power production. Specifically at large scales. Isn't that shocking? Batteries are also getting cheaper. Solar has the benefit of being better for home scale local production. There in lays the problem with nuclear. I'm all for it, but it doesn't seem to ever be cost competitive. Once, (once hah) some of these new battery technologies that aren't lithium ion, but even way cheaper? I just don't see why except for some specific places would ever do it. This is without mentioning the sheer amount of fresh water plants need. This could be mitigated by newer reactor designs, but again the cost. According to a graph about Nuclear. The price curve is going up. While wind, solar, and batteries continue to dip. I think the best bet for nuclear is for converting old fossil fuel plants into nuclear. I think that is the only way it stands a chance at the moment, and I am all for it.

  1809. ​ twitchclips5333 British aren't to blame. Fifty years ago sure, but not anymore. That area has always been a cluster f%ck, and at war with someone. If they weren't so focused on killing Jews they'd be killing each other, or creating suicide bombers to attack the West. Now I've admittedly not met a ton of Lebanese. Yet some of the older ones hated Palenstianians for being a huge part in what the country has become. The younger one just didn't speak of Lebanon at all, except told me it's best not to visit. The country lost control to the war mongers. Israel seems to be falling to them too, don't get me wrong. Extremist suck. Anyway all the shit countries are shit, because none of em can take responsibility for their situation. Always blaming someone else, because they'd rather make terrotist or weapons than make their lives better. Or the governments are corrupt. This includes Africa who also blame Europeans for everything in modern times. Hearing what Lebanon use to be to what it is now is real sad. It sounded like it had potential till it became ran by terrorists. They need to take a page from Indonesia. They've got extreme Islam too, but for the most part aren't hellbent on killing everyone next to them.

  1810. Seasonal fires, and ruminates IIRC. Remember before Europeans. Buffalo herds ran in the millions. Basically so large their dust could block the sun. When you have a large amount of certain animals like buffalo, cattle, or caribou. They will literally clear the land as they graze. They destroy any chance of forests trying to grow. Hell even goats and pigs will do that. Which blows my mind is oil. It wasn't from dinosaurs, but vegetation. At one point there literally were no microbes to break down plants! (Oh wow. This is why you should finish watching videos before commenting. They brought that up. Yeah that tid bit blows my mind.) Like what the hell did the world look during the time with a ton of dead wood on the ground without things breaking it down?! Anyway wish we let some natural fires happen. Places like Hawaii became a disaster, because they didn't let any fires happen. Making the potential for diaster even worse.

  1811. Exactly. Edit - disregard my post. I am repeating him. Should have watched the full video. Also - Planned obsolescence is different than engineers designing a product for a certain amount of time. (Which seems to be 100-200k miles ideally). That distinction is lost on so many, and it drives me nuts. Then you have seemingly 80% of the world who suffer from survivorship bias. We only see things that survive, and don't think about everything else from history that didn't. On top of it all we don't see the care, and coddling someone did to a classic car to keep it running. With that said I will say manufacturers don't care about how hard something is to repair. Which I think is the average consumers fault. How many average consumers actually take the time to see how easy a car is to fix up when purchasing one? It wouldn't suprise me if it was single digits! So manufacturers build what consumers buy. Which is cheap as possible, with the best performance - and more complex.

  1812. Everything I read said it was failing when he was still the owner. Due to them not reinvesting into it. Then he was under pressure to sell it due to it having issues. The new company basically just milked what was left. I mean why else would they sell the land which is insane. The writing was on the wall.

  1813. I just found LazerPig the other day. Might not be everyone's style but he seems to be quite knowledgeable. I find him entertaining at least. My question is armor. Read the Chieften 3 can take a direct hit from a Russian tank head on. If so then armor is still useful. Abraham's X looks freaken like a beast IF it works as intended. Especially with the silent running and thermal camouflage. That would fix modern tank combat by a lot. Also Active Defense seems to be improving dramatically. I wonder if we will be adding more armor to the top to combat the shaped charges. So ATGMs might not be as devastating to a modern or future tank even though they are also getting cheaper and lighter by the day. Like always though tanks need support from other units and tactics is key. If you don't have infantry or the enemy owns the sky they are vulnerable just like everything else.

  1816. You don't have to get vacinnated. Yet people, buisnesses, and the government don't have to tolerate you either. Covid mutates. This is why we are still dealing with it. I got covid twice, as I worked at a pharmacy before a vaccine, and it put me on my ass, and second time I got it I was terminally ill. Luckily I was vaccinated, but my mom wasn't. I was sick for two days, and she was sick for a month. If you don't do it for yourself. Do it for others. I seen a lot of dead people die when I was in the hospital 24/7. I think a lot of anti vaxxers forget that people have a choice to not let you go around spreading disease in their organization or to make rules for it.

  1817.  @Pyrochemik007  Wonder how long it takes to shoot and scoot. It doesn't matter the format but I feel like that is what the future holds since counter artillery is only getting better. Unless you have a significant range advantage I don't see how a more static defense is viable. Towed artillery seem so vulnerable to set up, fire, and relocate. It is so easy to scout with drones, aircraft, and now we have radar and computers that can pin point the location of your location. I forsee artillery firing a few rounds for a few minutes then booking it to some predetermined location. Better when coordinated with others spread out over a few KM.

  1818.  @KevinSmith-ys3mh     Yeah it is great for niche uses. Some of the old mine tech is especially cool. Your post reminds me of some gravity batteries. Those companies like Gravity Vault are a scam. Like it works. Just the energy stored for cost is just pitiful! I seen multiple people do the math, and it is just bad. The cost per KW is terrible compared to basically all the other energy storage methods. It is like hydrogen. Super niche.

  1819. Yeah too many variables TBH. Not to mention real accidents happen at crazy angles and speed and such. Like how many dead center head on collisions are there in real life? I bet very few. Also while people drive like dummies they also don't drive like dummies. - back perfectly straight two hands on the wheel. Especially before impact.

Even after Cody gets checked it doesn't mean he isn't all fucked up from the accident. I'd get seizures and hepatic enecelposthy which show no real signs if you aren't actively looking for it. Hell ER staff would miss it and right it down to "being drunk" because it would go away.

  1822. We will never be on par with fossil fuels. Hydrogen has the density, but the volume, and heavy tanks suck. So... We rethink flights. Keep fuels for intercontinental. EV aircraft will be cheaper to run by a LOT. So we design shorter flights. EV aircraft will also be able to be designed for STOL or VTOL to help shorter hub flights. Making a tilt rotor aircraft is so much better. So instead of taking one long flight you may need two to three flights with smaller payloads. This will be made up again with cheaper maintenence, fuel, and time on the runway. Oh they will be slower of course. No supersonic flights for sure. Too bad we don't have small nuclear reactors that run off thermophotovolatics. Aren't jet engines actually still way more powerful? I'm not sure what 1mw translates to in terms of thrust.

  1823. I like 90% of cops but have had state troopers harass me. I don't know why I have bad luck with them. One in particular would stop me while riding my bike 11 miles to work (22 miles in total and work 9÷ hours) each morning any time he saw me. He would slowly search my backpack making me late to work. Like man you know exactly where I am heading. Do you think I am trafficking drugs at 5am in a Dunkin uniform?! (I carried tools for the bike, extra clothes, food and water.) AFTER like 15 pull overs I made a complaint. His supervisor must have told him to stop. Anytime I saw him I would wave and he would glare. Anywho j just judge individuals.

  1825. If I recall the issue is... You'd need either a massive tank, or an incredibly tall tower for it to generate enough to make it worth while. Doesn't work on a small scale. On a big scale? I don't think the cost is worth it relative to other technologies. Not to say it isn't being used. Just there is a reason it isn't sought after. Pumped hydro on the other hand is the most widely used form of storing electricity already. People are trying so many various methods on it. The dumbest thing though is the Energy Vault. They use concrete blocks, and stack them. It makes literally no sense to do that over storing water in a tower. It is a scam for the amount of energy it stores for the cost.
    1
  1826. Well IMO Germans have been slacking according to themselves and their troops. The Puma is a great example of this but I have confidence they will be able to work it out. Their cars? Well they definitely aren't Toyotas from what mechanics always tell me. Engineering explained said it like this - they are luxury cars people with money buy and trade in a few years later for a new one. Honestly I care little about what people and especially did fifty years ago. Hell not even twenty years ago but what they are doing now and how they are acting. Japan can build nukes for all I care and I want my allies to be powerful on their own.

  1827. ​ @DylanFkinGuenther  I know there were some electronics that would protect the battery from ever being discharged of fully charged. Are cars like this? When you're charging your car can you just charge to 80%? Then have to actually say charge to 100% after a warning. Basically I am asking Is charging your car 100% actually fully charging the battery basically or is it actually charging to like 90% to keep it safe?

  1828. Have to agree even though I dislike the damn thing. Just so versatile and definitely gets way too much hate. It is a great plane even if it can't do everything the best. I'll listen to pilots who love the damn thing and have experience in other aircraft. I'd say the F 15ex but it is so expensive and no stealth but it looks like a freaken work horse once air supremacy is achieved. Maneuverability I think is over rated these days. It isn't Vietnam and missiles have gotten so much better. If the F 15 ex was one third the cost of it I would say that. America really loses out by not having the Meteor which I personally believe is the best A2A missile in the world. I've read Isreal has some variants on jets and such that may be better and if there is one country with sneaky ass equipment it is them. That was just things I have read but didn't really go into so it could be hearsay. Also Japan's F 16s from Mitsubishi are overpriced as hell haha.

  1829. This is why I have a gatling gun and two trained dogs. A also an attack guinea pig. Maybe I barred my window and taped my closet... Jokes aside I lived in bad areas and always wanted to protect my friends or fam so I've always had a weapon around me. If I was rich I would make a fortress that would be zombie and small arm proof.

  1831. Biological if you ask me! When I played football I would go into this trance I called "in the zone." Similar to a near death experience as well if you've ever had one. Basically time would slow down to crawl and the ball which would take a second to get to me would feel like it took ten seconds. In that time I could see the dew off the grass, reflection of the sun off the helmets, and know where everyone is. My mind and body were one basically! Then it would end as soon as it came. Usually once the play ended or when I realized I'm in a safe spot after actively avoiding a car coming at me. Anyway I say biological because people seem to have more energy and get crazy during full moons. So maybe those periods were during the time a full moon was happening or close to it. I have no proof that it is true but I swear it is and others in the service industry do as well... It just seems busier and more chaotic! More energy!

  1832. Remember it is all about the dose. Whether you are a fatty, or a hypervigilant psychotic addict. Microdosing MDMA and certain mushrooms is great by all accounts for mental health! Too bad the government will never let us have either it seems. I've been trying to find the right dose of meth and ketamine, yet have not found it. I am as low as a gram of good meth a day! Was definitely worth the try, for science of course. I am typing this from the comforts of my lawyers chair, but can't sit still. More ketamine is desired. He is more of a Coke guy so we aren't meshing at the moment. I prefer Mountian Dew of course, because like I said. I am currently on meth, and live in a trailer. Do the Dew.

  1834. It will help. However it will take a hell of a lot more! We need more tankers and more importantly superior AWACs! For both the Navy and the Airforce if we are to compete. It will be real interesting what would happen if they actually did invade. Would they start attacking airbasis in Japan, Phillipines, South Korea, and other allied countries? We definitely need more for less. We are losing badly on the manufacturing part which is why we need to be smart.

  1835. Agreed for the most part. Nuclear is great for a small package. I think SMRs have a future for datacenters or AI. Yet the markets will go for whatever is cheaper. To me it seems like renewables and batteries are dropping like a rock year in, and out with no signs of stopping. Especially with pervoskites on the horizon. I do want to see nuclear plus TPV cells eventually become a thing. MIT has recently made some with efficiency that rivals turbines with zero moving parts. Imagine one day being able to stick a nuclear pellet into some crazy container made out of some super material that can withstand the heat, shield the radiation, and just have TPVs surrounding it producing energy. Maybe that can give us real small nuclear batteries. Well technically not a battery, but maybe something small enough to power an exoskeleton.

  1836. ​ @Chuck_Hooks No mate. You're close. They just don't want Ukraine to win or lose. They want Russia to bleed, and so keeping the war going is in their best interests to tie Russia up with Ukraine blood. Big difference. Also yeah they don't want gas prices to get out of control. Sadly, since our gas reserves are privatized then that means the US can't control who gets what from our reserves. Meaning if China and India have to buy from someone else. Then they'll look elsewhere, and other oil countries will take advantage of that skyrocketing gas prices for us and our allies due to lack of supply. At least that is what I was told why we don't give Ukraine certain missiles nor a Navy to attack Russias ghost fleet. Would be awesome if we did, and said screw it. Then Russian allies might put more pressure on them to stop the invasion.
    1
  1837. Also what makes the USAF in particular so deadly is it just isn't one aircraft. Its almost always several different aircraft plus America's intelligence apparatus. I don't think 30 will make or break the war. It is just an other layer in their defense... Maybe it will help them break a few positions by destroying some helicopters or other attack craft that would normally own a column.

  1838. ​ @perryallan3524 The J58 is not more advanced than the f119. First off the f22s has 40% more thrust at 35% reduced weight. That is amazing. It is way more efficenf at the lower flight envelopes. Secondly the engine has both thermal, and EM stealth. Is thrust vectoring. More durable, reliable, and can handle anything the F22 pilot throws it the entire flight envelope. It doesn't leak. Focusing on stealth is the reason why we do not have hybrid engines in a fighter. Up until recently stealth materials could not handle the higher heats, and pressures at those speeds. Also then the Cold War ended.. we didn't really need super expensive, advanced, spy planes to spy on some goat herders hiding in caves. So would I say the j58 was a greater miracle of design for its time? Yes. They were geniuses with what tools they had. Yet the f119 is much more advanced overall. I wonder why we never had pulse engine planes really.

  1839.  @afcgeo882  Well yes but things can change and it seems like the military is shifting somewhat. Either way we need to be more efficient in certain ways and if the next gen fighter program works? Then follow that model. Politics needs to stop too. We don't need to support any private company.

There are so many better ones that show the different forces.

  1842. GOOD. You are the type to hand over nuclear tech thinking it would just be made for energy. Are you guys naive? Handing the keys to as powerful as a weapon as AI to people like the CCP and Putin? We are lucky DeepSeek is a red herring, because it is only aa good as the AI it trained from. Xi and Putin want to destroy the west. Putin has threatened nukes over and over. Good for OpenAI for realizing how stupid it would be to hand over technology to anyone, but themselves.

  1846. It would break way before or not resupply in a position where it is a sitting duck. It would get far away from any potential threats and be flying AWAC in a war footing along with the myriad of other intelligence gathering capabilities we have. (People on the ground). One thing is aircraft carriers are extremely fast and I'm sure there are ways to break off resupply in emergencies. If there isn't that is a huge oversight and I mean WTF titanic oversight. It all comes down to detection, ew counter measures, enemies kill chain, and the missiles capabilities. I guess most of China's and Russian hypersonic are nuclear tipped. That I hope never gets used... Let's hope these upcoming laser projects come through. PS: Why do we use kinetic warheads for missile defense instead of some type of proximity directed explosive that shoots a wall of tungsten projectiles per missile/shot. Proximity rounds have been around since WWII... Surely the speed of a hypersonic missiles incoming and missile heading towards it would cause enough damage to make it miss? Instead we use kinetic missiles that have to be insanely accurate to work...

  1847. I don't know man. My family, myself and friends always broke their phone with it falling essentially perfectly flat on the face. Some of them from a sitting position like getting up from a chair or out of a car! It is a very nasty sound. Now if I were to break a window or a screen then pressing on the corner with a hard object for sure is the weakest point. Or throwing a rock at the corner of a glass window or screen, then for sure I agree. But as far as just dropping. A perfect flat face drop is the one that always worried me short of it falling on a small hard point like a concrete corner. Well, that is just obvious, and sucks.

  1851.  @klepow  Aye I just don't see the benefit ya know?

  1852.  @klepow  Yeah this seems like it is designed for crap ya want ASAP like food delivery. Or some other high expense item someone needs quickly. Not large enough for a grocery order. It will be quick but if you don't mind waiting you can just get your item within a day or two by other delivery methods. I'm sure some buisnesses would benefit. I just don't know what. Quite honestly the medium resteruant chains like Applebees or Red Lobster could benefit from this. In theroy their markup is a lot better per item sold compared to a fast food chain. Yet I'd argue they'd be better off buying a drone from a company themselves instead of a third party service. The one benefit of a drone is that it doesn't get paid hourly! Wait maybe I am biased. Maybe this will work well for people who live a while from stores and such.

They aren't putting up the financial burden of finding a drug. They just come along, see it works, and copy it.

  1855. This is why we need more thermophotovoltaic or TPV cell research. Think solar cellls, but for heat. There was just a break through on them where they get more effiency than a turbine at like 45% effiency. (45% effiency of what I dont know.) It is great as there are no moving parts. Just uses the heat radiation from the source. The issue with that was it only worked at like 2,000 celius. Which is still great since there are a lot of industrial infrastructure that produces that type of heat as a byproduct. So yeah we need to have those at tempatures at smaller scales.

They have their own problems though economically, and are scared of their own population. All while making a lot of countries who aren't slouches themselves who are in their own backyard.

The amount of evidence about his crime is astounding. Yet you guys ignore EVERY thing that man does. He is the embodiment of the worse traits of an American. A snake. Why can't Trump be tried now? People are afraid of what would happen? He actually might be punished for his crimes? What are you afraid of? An innocent man wouldn't be avoiding being tried. Period. Biden might be weak. Yet Trump is a snake. Also he ran up the most debt of any president. The world market is inflating. Red or blue can't stop the decoupling of the global economy. No one can stop the world economy, especially Trump who did nothing good except for the ultra rich.

  1866. ​ @TheBooban  I partially agree with you. Chinas aging population and the fact they ignored health to get rich fast is rearing its ugly head soon. Sure eating white rice grown in contaminated soil with heavy metals and other toxins cooked in sewer oil won't flat out kill you. Yet it will take its toll... Not to mention the pollution and toxins in the air or products made with dangerous chemicals... All of this is going to catch up soon and create a huge medical burden. Then again in order for a country to have cancer or an illness you need to be diagnosed with it! Yet there is a shortage of doctors but no shortage of corrupt beaurcrats who smudge records to keep their superiors happy. Chinas government was happy to cut corners or just didn't care and the population will hurt because of it. Now will China go away anytime soon? I doubt it unless they continue to piss everyone off and become isolated somehow but I don't see that happening. As you said their population is still second in the world and the government can pivot on a dime relative to western countries. China just needs to relax trying to flex on every country in the South China sea. I wouldn't underestimate India either. Feel like WW3 will be both them and China due to water from Tibet. Anyways it is hard to tell with China since the CCP only shows what it wants and greatly hides its true weaknesses. Some experts say their economy is worse than they say it is for instance.

  1869. TPVs are the future. Mark my words. So many applications that generate tons of heat. The question is... What are you going to use to produce that heat? I know MIT recently had a break through with TPVs with 45% (ish) effiency. Basically just as good as a turbine with no moving parts. I truly believe the future of energy is nuclear and maybe eventually fusion with TPV cells. Nuclear fuel cell the size of a can of soda powering my exoskeleton? Yes PLEASE!

  1875. Maybe no need for a turbine! TPV or thermalphotovoltaic cells are becomimg more efficent then turbines! Yet i think you need 2,400 celius. They state over 40% effiency yet I have no clue what the hell that means. 40% of what! Like they work like solar panels, but for heat. So how big of an area do they need to be then? Which that is of course that amount of heat is nothing to what a fusion reactor can put off. Best part of TPV cells is no moving parts either. So maybe we can get even higher efficency with even newer ones. While using AI to help simulate a suitable material.

Yet western governments cannot pivot and change as quickly as they can so I will give that is. If they want a rail built? It doesn't matter if your village is ancient and your family has lived on the same land for centuries - you're in the way- oh and they'll flood the neighboring valley for that dam at the same time.

  1877. I believe most Ukrainians left Crimea 8 years ago. Then Russia started shipping in Russians. So most people there are in fact Russian. So I don't think Ukraine will ever get it back unless Russia has a Civil War. Or they somehow take it back over and do the same thing - basically force any Russian civilians to leave or stay. Either way out of all the provinces? Crimeria is by far the trickiest one of them all if you factor in what those who live there think. Thats what a Ukrainian Crimerian told me anyway.

  1878.  @eruiluvatar236  Your post reminded me of a post I saw on Reddit while trying to find the best material. Came across someone asking about Starlite. How we could recreate it. Something like that. This guy on AskScience said something like. "My toast can do the same thing" It really made me laugh. Especially due to the poster acting like it was some space age material with a conspiracy behind it. I did find a study from Illinois. Maybe Ohio? Same place ; ) but they said they had a break through where they could control where the heat went while using magnets. Pretty interesting, but still not passive heat resistant! I am truly surprised there aren't any therotical materials that maybe one day with nano science we maybe able to create either. Halfnium Carbonate seems to be it. Sci Fi and NASA had me trippin/stupid not realizing how limited we are! (We don't even smelt tungsten at scale.)

  1882. The funniest thing in America electrical usage has steadily dropped since 2007 except like for 3 years. Where it went up 1%. Also states like Texas... Texas! Love batteries. The growth of batteries to help the grid as a whole for both renewable energy and for natural gas has been pretty staggering. That investment into battery storage is paying off. No clear winners. It is just that batteries I guess are helping them stabilize the grid, but also storing when costs are low, and releasing when costs are high. Anyway if power usage has been going down. There was no reason to invest in power. We are a capitalist society. More companies will now invest in power, and hopefully all these advandces now that demand will be going up. Especially with AI being more power hungry than anything we've witnessed.
    1
  1883.  @peterwundersitz3715  Yup now power demand should definitely be going up! Mighty ridiculous how much power AI needs. My point was people talk about how the grid sucks when demand has been going down for a long time. Therefore companies saw no need to upgrade. While I am sure chip manufacturers and software designers are going to do their best to lower electricity usage through various means. There is absolutely no foreseeable future where power demand will now be decreasing if AI continues on this path. Kinda weird how it was decreasing overall in the first place with Smart - appliances/phones/EVs. Anyway I read a lot of the bigger tech companies are simply making their own power plants, and I hope more follow suite. Google has geothermal, and Microsoft is even trying to build a nuclear power plant! Makes sense to me for them to drop the middle man. I even hear development of that nuclear plant is going pretty quickly. We shall see... Government red tape and Microsoft aren't exactly great at being on time. I do hope the government starts stepping in though, and doesn't allow local politicans to sell power to AI companies before civilians. Lots of new technologies are getting cheaper. I am not worried. I need to rewatch this one video talking about all the inefficiency in the grid. We waste a ton of power through transmission alone.

  1884. Packing is a bigger deal than most realize too. I mean as someone else pointed out water being a prime example of why there is a expiration date. The water leaches a plastic taste. Yet it isn't just that. A good package will just keep the product for better or worse. So regulators can't know what your ham is coming in. I never knew botulism grew in cans that weren't damaged since the food is generally pasturized. Huh. Good video none the less. I worked retail for years, and never had to use those numbers. I didn't know it was always a batch number.

  1885. My phone was too dark to really see. I read your post that Smarter Every Day had made a topic on the war, and that it had misinformation in it. I was completely bumfuddled. Destin making something with misinformation, and about a war!? The hell! Only lasted a second before I could fix it, but man that would have been... Depressing. I second Bryan Macbeth as a good source for information. He is obviously pro west in what information he does touch on, but it is solid non the less, which doesn't matter to me yet it should be stated. More importantly he will admit when he is wrong about something or not entirely sure which I respect. That is why I like these two. Plus Alex from Sandboxx news who is possibly the best military journalist, but specializes in mainly air. He said the channel would branch out though earlier this year.

  1886. Minimal cost? You act like you can put hydrogen in your gas tank, hah. High pressure tanks of 700 BARS plus are expensive, bulky, can't be formed into different shapes, and still carry something like 22 liters... Then you have the cost of infrastucture. Yeah have fun going from power plant, hydrogen plant, shipping hydrogen to station, vehicle going to station, then using hydrogen. Instead of just power plant to vehicle. Hell people can use their own solar or wind to power their cars. People already have solar trailers towed by their trucks to power their vehicles while camping. Can hook up power tools to them too or use them as a generator with some of the new EV trucks. Then you have the electrical strain on the grid which will be MUCH worse. Hydrogen takes a ton of electricity at the moment to separate it from water. If people think billions of EVs will be a problem on the grid. Then Hydrogen will be double the strain at least! Batteries are rapidly progressing. Hydrogen is stuck by physical limitations by physics. There will never be a solution to hydrogens volumetric density problems, and fuel cells will never be as efficient as batteries to motors. Companies have recently made lithium air batteries. Those will be ten to fifty times better then the batteries we have today. Solid state batteries are coming out this year. Batteries will become quicker to charge, be more power dense, lighter, and safer. There is no real infrastructure for hydrogen, and there will probably never will be. It will be a niche product. Which sucks. I wanted hydrogen to succeed. Until I learned the physical limitations, and theoretical limits. I still cross my fingers for some science break through with space age magic nano tech. Fun fact about hydrogen. Water holds more hydrogen in a given volume by a ton compared to just pure liquid hydrogen! Doesn't make sense.

  1887. After seeing that Ukraine is attacking now. I'm confident to say inside explosion to free up men to go be somewhere else. Sadly those attacks don't seem to be going well either. Multiple videos from multiple sources showed at least 60 vehicles destroyed before I turned it off. Too much depression in my life.

  1892. ​ @elektrotehnik94 Hyperloop is a scam for this century anyway. I wish that weren't true, but it isn't reasonable. Just too expensive and not worth it. Fast trains and Mag Levs that actually use their potential. Also EV planes. Hopefully we unlock lithium air chemistries. Max potential energy is nearly on par with kerosene!. Yet even without it. Batteries will get good enough for regional flights within 20 years. With a smaller cargo or shorter flight of course. Yet still electric motors have benefits like super cheap charging costs. Less maintenence. Also electric motors are much easier to make a tilt rotor crafr. Allowing for VTOL or STOL type aircraft like a drone for passenger flights. Hydrogens volumetric density seems like a non starter to me for cars or planes.

Believe it or not electronics when made to be durable can be more durable and last longer. Not to mention you can have all the redundancy in the system you desire. Once we get some clever haptic feedback systems in place? It will be the superior option just from a material standpoint. We already have sensors in and around the wheels.

  1895. ​ @jawarakf That is why the F 22 would rarely fly alone. People act like the USAF specifically flies aircraft by themselves which could be nothing further from the truth in times of war. There will be drones, AWACs, air refuelers, decoy missiles, and a ton of fifth and fourth generation jets flying with the F 22s. The Navy is a bit more limited in the types of aircraft for sure that it can send on missions. I seriously doubt there will be something like squadron versus squadron of J 20s and just F 22s. The F 22s at least will always have something flying with them is what I'm trying to say unless somehow they have to scramble. Even then I'm pretty sure the newest upgraded F 22 can detect and launch all of its missiles before the J 20 can lock onto them even without AWACs. I'm more afraid of saturation attacks by Chinese land missiles.

  1896. Maybe just maybe, because a lot of the people in it are in fact racist? It is like MAGA. Not all MAGA are racist, but there are a lot in it who are. With that said the insane one is that guy saying the West or richer countries owe them something essentially. That we have responsibility. Absolutely not. Not a single country on earth has any obligation to bring in, and help others. We give aid and loans to help. How about they all fix their countries before coming to ours, instead of bringing their baggage. When conflict is over they can get sent back. All the useless ones who didn't assimilate can pack their bags. Clearly these people aren't welcomed any longer. Geez, I wonder why. Maybe because the West and fundamentalism doesn't mesh, but that is just me. If a country was full of Christian Baptist fanatics zealots, wielding snakes. I wouldn't want them immigrating to my country bringing that form of practice here either. Anyway you, I, and them have no rights to waltz in, and call other people's homes ours. Maybe they didn't teach that in Islam, and why it is always in conflict. The older I get the more prejudice I get, I swear. I think Europe has met its obligations on refugees, and enough is enough. 15% of your population being immigrants is enough.

  1903. I am a liberal mutt. Part native American, and also don't agree. Honestly people who destroy history are ignorant, naive, and just wrong. I can't really grasp the words at the moment yet it is nearly hypocritical. We are all descendants of conquerors. We all have blood from our ancestors hands whether you like it or not. There is not one culture left alive today that didn't expand through conquest, rape, burning, pillaging, and of course murdering. We should look at them not with pride. Yet look at them and realize how far we have progressed. Destroying history is a bad idea as we often repeat it when we forget it. Statues last a lot longer than human memory does that is for certain. I doubt few people look at a statue of Lee and say, "Ah yes. This statue was built for him due to owning slaves." The statue was built as he was a damn good general and held off the more powerful Union time after time. Even though he was an enemy of "my side" I can still respect that aspect of him while denouncing slavery as a whole. As for slavery? Few cultures didn't have it. Why don't we ever bring up the fact black people were also making fortunes off slavery as well. Many African tribes would go to war, and sell captured enemies to Europeans. The biggest hurdle to the black community in America are themselves today. Everyone knows it yet it isn't politically correct to say that. Native Americans? My people were warriors - they weren't some peace loving hippies living one with nature. They were murdering each other, and scalping bitches way before any white men came. We fought and we lost mainly due to disease, and the fact we weren't united. It happened over a century ago - need to stop blaming Europeans for our current situation too. White people are also guilty for guilt tripping. Your ancestors did what most civilizations do - grow up. We need to start thinking of the future without forgetting the past. What matters is how we act today and tomorrow. If a statue triggers you then go see a therapist since you are obviously emotionally damaged. Are you so much of a snowflake you cannot handle the truth?

  1904. That would basically mean the entire ship would be... Scrap or should be right? Simply due to it costing more to try to maintain and fix? If it was poor materials and a design flaw. That would be crazy. China has a lot to learn. I feel like on one hand I am terrified of their rapid pace and the fact due to their government there is no strings attached. Western Democracy as much as I support them move slow as hell and cannot pivot. Chinas rapid technology growth and military should never be underestimated but in their haste and the fact they copy and steal means they don't seem to understand why some things are done the way they are done. They don't have the lessons learned from the past and who wants to work in China when they can get paid more elsewhere.(Russia had this issue.) Anyway my point is I guess this is what experts mean when experts say China can only make enhanced copies but cannot innovate. Still I won't ever underestimate them due to the sheer size of their population. Luckily for us all they are xenophobic as hell.

  1923. ​ @KlausBahnhof Isn't that guy a shill with ties to Chinese companies? If you're looking for shore defense. Why even get any submarine? Just use missiles and air power at that point. The French deal was crap by the end. They actually did offer an option for nuclear.. However there were technnology transfer disputes. French were being greedy. Most important by the end of it they were trying to build the entire submarine themselves, and wouldn't deliver till 2035. At first 90% of the sub was to be built. Then 60%. Then they literally said Australias ship industry was not up to par. The Ukraine War has shown it is important for a country to have their own manufacturing base when it comes to defense. Geopolitics can a change swiftly, and you'll be left standing with equipment you cannot maintain or build yourself. Plus propping up your own industry with high well paying jobs is a bonus people forget. Diesel Submarines are garbage at anything other than protecting close by. They are stealthier, but sacrifice a lot. Seeing that there are no enemies near Australia? Just makes more sense to go nuclear. Or else like I said better yet to invest in land based stand off anti ship missiles and beef up the airforce. I'm glad Australia did the deal. I don't want to see the CCP dominating the world, and the US can't hold back those lying, manipulative, thieving sewer oil drinking pseudo communists. Chinese are the type to take all the candy in a bucket at Halloween when they are adults, and don't celebrate it.

Then went with it. All I know is the investigation is a joke.

  1931. We only need one AI. The thing is we will make computers that are more efficent on both hardware and software. Maybe based off biological animals. The human brain is insanely efficent. Therefor we are missing something to get conciousness. That something we do not know, but there are a lot of theroys. My favorite is our brains somehow use quantum computing with tubules or something like that. Sabine did a video on it with the last 3 months I think.

  1932. ​ @sacredbaloney  Agreed that number seems off. It would be 105% of 90%. IIRC these propppelers and a standard propeller need to be designed specifically for a certain speed and torque to get the most efficiency. These are better generally but show more promise for certain speeds and applications. That is what I was told. Also just copying the same design doesn't quite work as well as people think from the small tests I've seen people do on YT. The biggest benefit is durability. Cavitation really does a number on props. Wonder if the Navy has already designed one for their submarines and are having issues manufacturing it.

  1934.  @RandomRothbardian  That actually is the US game plan for China. Well using air power to hit their ports, power plants, and dams. The US knows any land invasion of China is madness. So the goal is to choke them from the world. No oil, iron, food and watch their greatest strength be used against them which is their huge population. The hope is to get the Chinese people to start starving and then rebel against the CCP. SADLY! Nukes... Just like Russia with Pootin.

  1935. @@KittyCat-mp3rm China is totally reliant on other countries too? How are they going to build ships when constantly attacked by the USAF and USN? Our allies in the region? You don't go to a war of attrition with China. You blockade them, destroy the ships they do have, and destroy their dams, ports, refineries, and utilities. You use their massive population against them. The Three Gorges Dam for instance is a huge and vulnerable target. Would wipe out an immense portion of Chinese cities. There is a reason why the US is making strong ties with SEAN. Also stop looking at peace time numbers. We are already ramping up.

All because they were secretive when buying land which is real estate 101 so people to price gouge you for some dinky farm. A farm that should be somewhere else that actually has water to spare! A walkable sustainable small city sounds awesome to me. Especially if a ton of families with kids move in.

  1945. @duidave4737 The reason they charge so much is do to insurance companies fixing the price mate. The way they negotiate the fees on what costs what. Hospitals do play a role, but not as big as you think. Thehe doctors or staff have no say. The massive effin conglomerates do who run the place, and are for profit. A hospital can't say we will charge this much for X, Y, and Z. The problem is health care is for profit. Also the bills you see aren't the actual price people are billing. Even you can just argue your price of the bill down significantly. Just literally be like I'm not paying that. I can work with you, and pay blah blah. I've known people who knocked their price down to 40% of the original bill on their own.

  1947. Why go to space when you can radiate heat into space from Earth with radiative cooling. It would be waaay cheaper... Radiative Cooling, and rejecting heat into space from some amazing paint, and materials is something I understand, but don't. I don't understanding why it isn't being absorbed by the atmosphere. Also I remember catching a glimpse on a theroy of using lasers to cool the earth. You should do a topic on both. From my reply three years later. Edit. I don't think global GDP as a whole will drop. Everything will just shift. Jobs will be created as they are destroyed. Humans will continue on as the world falls apart. Yet you can't stop progress... Whatever that beholdens? Life will find a way.

  1949. Can't wait in five to ten years when Axial Flux motors come out in mass. There is one by Helix UK. They claim 52 pounds and.... 800 BHP! Imagine if someone grabs two. Sticks it with a tiny jet turbine generator. A small solid state battery to run. Stick it into a small body. Boom! Hell, soon you wouldn't need a generator. Future is bright. I don't care if a car goes vroom. I just want speed, and great handling. EVs allow that with the center of mass. They just have the whole weight issue. I am surprised there aren't more series hybrids TBH with a turbine engine. Always thought they were the most efficent, lightweight, and relatively simple.

  1951. Seems like the Ukraine war has made many western countries including the US realize that they've been lacking and relying on the US too much. (Was reading comments from some soldiers from Germany and UK and they said their logistics need to improve. Also weapon procurement in Germany is a beaucratic hell hole.) We can't even keep up with orders. (Especially Lockheed. Where the hell does all the money go? Expand your fucking manufacturing base). As an American citizen I want our allies to have their own defense industry and be self reliant. Globalization is both a blessing and a curse in this regards. We are learning Russian weapons use a lot of western components. I think all countries can take a page from Isreal, Sweden, and South Korea. I don't expect everyone to turn into Poland who is going ham gobbling up weapons but its nice to have a goverment that supports a robust defense industry that has a lot of highly skilled and specialized workers. I wish I had information on how many companies are involved directly and indirectly in the production of a single F-35. From those who create the materials to those who build the computers.

  1952. Yeah if your body craves something it usually means you are in need of it. Like truly craving it which is hard to explain because you can be addicted to something like sugar. I'm terminally ill with stage 4 liver and kidney disease. Months ago I was craving pickles. Normal for a pregnant woman but salt is very bad for people with this disease so I shouldn't eat it as it is found in all food. I was extremely ill with GI issues as they go hand and hand with liver disease. At first I thought it was salt but my salt was normal but I was suffering from severe GERD too and acidic things don't help acid reflex. We will get to that later. Well I did and went on a pickle craze for a few months. Turned out it was most likely the lactaid acid - my body had very low PH which is dangerous to me. I can get both metabolic alkalosis and acidosis. Both are terrible and dangerous! Feels like you are dying with no fever... Anyway eventually I stopped getting that and stopped craving pickles. Also I am on an anti biotic daily and been in for severe SBP which can kill in 48 hours. Put me near death multiple times last year so my gut microboime was a wreck from the slew of antibiotics I'd be on anytime I was admitted. Yogurt then Kefir fixed MOST of my GI problems within a week when no amount of medication helped. Back to salt. Well I was following the no salt and absolutely little potassium diet that I was told to do once my kidneys failed. So from September to May I was sort of stable but still getting very ill randomly and couldn't gain weight or strength. First I found out they were severely dehydrating me during dialysis as they weren't taking my ascities into account for weight. Also turns out I was critically low on potassium! Luckily for me I met a doctor who said -you're going to die if you don't get a transplant and you need to eat to do that. Don't worry about the salt in bacon as you need protein and fat! So I never was super strict on salt which is why I was only just low on it . However some days I would crave it and just eat a pinch of a pinch. Potassium on the other hand dialysis kept telling me that they will give me some. But they only test my blood near an end of a treatment when they are giving me potassium. Basically in between treatments I was running critically low and since its hard to eat since I'm dying - I don't get enough from food. So for the longest time I would crave something and cramp dangerously at night. Wasn't dehydrated... Salt didn't do the trick but close... A month ago I remembered I had Nu Salt and gave the ingredients a second look - I thought it had phosphorous in it which I do struggle with so it has been sitting there since my liver diagnoses. Well it is actually just potassium chloride! Sure enough when I get that craving a pinch of a pinch will curb it! It also has helped with the cramp although they still happen. Like he said a charlie horse sucks especially at night time. Anyway sorry for the long post. Remember listen to your bodies! PS as for hydrating. Skim milk is better than water for a healthy person!

  1953. I feel like those tank numbers are exaggerated according to Pre Run who takes in all the factors. He might be wrong due to the cost disparity. That is nuts they somehow had their manufacturers cut prices. Only if the West could do that. Somehow we pay for the entire research, and don't own them. Things like Stingers somehow costs much much more than what they did. Only western weapons fucking get more expensive. It is ridiculous.

  1954. China. Builds up in Canada along with Europe. Before invasion CCP spies inflatrate Social Security. Simultaneously agents in South America produce millions fake IDs for US citizenship, and records for South Americans. Agents delete all social security records at the same time. On May 2035 two hundred million South Americans become American citizens, and flood the boarders looking for work. Boarder Guards are overwhelmed by immigrants. America's worse nightmare ensues with the immigrants having proof creating chaos. No one can tell who is actually American or not. This weakens the government. Causes civil disturbances throughout the entire population, and military. With this chaos China and Europe invade. South America's military invades with fighters dressed as immigrants. Jokes aside. Flooding America with immigrants with records that are perfect would cause so much havoc. America like other big countries could not be conquered without it being a war of extermination. Basically you'd need to kill any adult who is combat capable, or put them into camps.

Rural, ghettos, and now suburbs I've lived in. The ones here now are friendly. Just remember cops know more about people than you think. When I was selling drugs they knew somehow. Snitches.

  1957. Remember folks that it isn't 1930. Airships can be much better, and safer even with hydrogen. The Hindenburg is so famous due to it being caught on camera which was nuts for that time. Also Hydrogen wasn't the main issue. It was the aluminum they used in the construction if I recall. There was actually a much deadlier crash with an airship around that time that killed much more which didn't use hydrogen! Again it would be different if they were to make em today. Personally I hope airships make a come back even if they aren't the fastest. If they could get them to be cheap? Hell yeah why not.

  1960. ​ @doncarlodivargas5497 I think this war is about vanity. Putin is old and he has everything except one thing. No one was going to invade Russia and he could have sat back and watched the EU crumble from within with bickering. Putin did this for his legacy. He wanted to be the great leader who brought back Mother Russia to its former glory and who made the west fearful! With his rule and his rule alone did he bring Russia out of its darkest days and made it even stronger then it was before. He will be talked about for centuries... This is why this will be a long war. He doesn't care how many bodies lind statues in the future - he has no choice politically or more importantly to him historically. He is old and won't see the ashes generations will be sweeping up if he loses. Think about it. He had all the money and power one needs. The only thing he probably didn't know was how corrupt the military was because there are so many yes men under him that he truly believed that Ukraine would have rolled over. Sad how many people have to die for some old fools vanity.

I only recently found how tasty pomegranates are, and I won't be able to eat that or Blood Oranges either! Ah. Oh well... I guessssssss a new kidney and liver are sort of worth giving it up.

  1967. This is crazy. I've been obsessed with Series Hybrids - hybrids where the ICE is just a generator for the last month. EVs suck in one majior way. Weight! I mean batteries are heavy, and not good enough to build a light car. With this you get the benefits of the EV with the instant insane torque, light as hell reliable motor, but have the range of an ICE. What engine though would be the best? I kept seeing new engine designs from the Omega, Aquarius, to the Liquid Piston rotrary which promise tons of HP in a small package... That is when I remembered turbines are the best generators as far as I know. I even asked on Reddit why series hybrids aren't more common. Anyway a few weeks later I find out this, and one other company have already tried! Ariel however is well known for an insanely fast, light, sports car which is exactly what I was thinking this type of set up would just be perfect for until batteries can become better. Anyway awesome job, and I hope they work on it more. I hope more car companies take their hand at it as I'm not sure how good Ariel is at either EVs or Turbines.

  1968.  @kdizzystl  I learned recently turbines actually aren't the best for small scale. Only at large scale do they out perform diesel engines. Still more powerful in a lighter package, and simpler. It really boggles my mind how they are more expensive, and why a turbine/hybrid isn't more common. You know it is really difficult to find effiency ratings. I can only find mile per gallon, but that doesn't mean much when the engine is putting out different horse power. All I know is they say ICE gasoline are 12-27 efficent. Then you have people refuting that saying some are 40%. Then others saying turbine guzzle gas. Yet no one can tell me at what size do turbines become more efficent. It is really effin annoying. I'm all for EVs and Hybrids, but I need proper data damn it. Even EVs suffer from it as not all are putting out 90% plus effiency all the time.
    1
  1969. Matt and DaVinci rarely if ever specify the actual energy density. They always use effiency which to me now is always a red flag. I don't expect them to have a PHD, and actually know what is going on. Just do more research before pedaling some shysters looking for investment.

  1970. The war wasn't supposed to be a war. Let alone a blood bath. This war was about Putin's legacy. He wanted to bring back Ukraines resources, and man power into the fold. Putin wanted to be seen as a great Tsar from the past. The one who put Russia back into the map. This quick military operation. Backfired. Big time. I do think Putin was caught off guard about how poor of a condition the Russian military is. A problem stemming from the fact he surrounds himself by sychophants. Russia also thought the Ukranian government, and people would break. Nor did they foresee Europe and America doing something I think.

You only need so much because if you go overboard you're going to stress both. The more the merrier is not better. You guys know what science I guess says according to some studies when it comes to hydration? Skim milk is the best natural product. Pedialyte either was second or better I cannot remember.

I wouldn't expect medical research from Ethiopia to be studying Whites or Tibetians, either. These days there aren't excuses for either side. No excuses in these days for minorities and women not to be putting their own impacts by getting into the field or funding it.

  1980. I mean the cost overruns and corruption on these projects are always ridiculous. I think it is okay to ridicule that. Unless it is coming from a string theorist. We have spent billions trying to prove that, and instead of scrapping the damn ideas when experimentation doesn't actually prove anything. They change the goal post. Over and over now. At least with the Webb it is the opposite. We see stuff then try to explain why it is like that. Not the other way around. We aren't making up stuff then trying to prove it.

  1985. It has its uses for some. Not everyone needs a lot of range. Looks fun to drive honestly. Musk was right even if I cannot stand him. He said something like, "Charge batteries at home with solar." Being the most obvious solution since you have more surface area. Where I would like to see solar used is on semi truck trailers and buses. I have been curious about a solar trailer for a long time. How much energy you could get on an average day. Cover the top and sides with them. I am sure you could get a decent amount of extra power. Of course right now I think it is too expensive. Yet pervoskites are now gaining traction. With one company Oxford UK selling a hybrid silicone/pervoskite panel. Once the degradation problem has been fixed. Pervoskites should make solar panels ridiculously cheap. Cheap enough to add to a semi trailer!

  1987. I wanna know is. When people say they have an internal monologue. Does that mean actual full sentences non stop? Like I can visualize in my minds eye. I can talk to myself in even didferent voices. Yet at the same time I don't need either to function, remember, or do tasks. When I go do the dishes I might just say "do it lazy." Picture my sink, then go and do it. Then while I'm doing it start thinking in partial words, snap shots, or more likely than not. Flowing songs in my head while thinking in pictures. This is most obvious when in a flow state playing a sport or instrument. I don't need to visualize to catch the ball, or run and juke. Or start flowing notes that come to me in the moment when jamming on an instrument. Hard to explain, but do you guys really need to say everything out loud (in your head) everything you gotta do? And for those who only think visually. Do you constantly always have to visualize everything? My mom has Aphantasia. So she only has an inner monologue. She says she thinks she can visualize when she dreams. I find that interesting as I can have incredible dreams where I have an entire made up life with a stranger. Know their name, our relationship, and even have a job I don't have in real life. I love my mind. I can make entire movies in my head. You'd think that means I could remember stuff better, but it doesn't. My mind is filled with random shyte. Also it is so hard for me to make my mind blank.

We lost it however when we were weak, and an entirely new nation. That land is ours!" I love how they always ridicule the west yet they do the exact same BS, but are worse. From being greedy to colonizing. I use to hate the West for the BS it has done. Yet now that I'm older I realize the alternatives are way worse.

If you want a simple thing that will last long you can have it, but it will never be good outside of that fact. Again if a new battery technology leap that was scalable happened today. People would be jumping on it ASAP. No conspiracy involved. Just ask the people who actually make it happen like I have.

  1992.  @MrEli768  Electric cars in the 1890s suck. Battery tech wasn't even close. Hell battery tech still isn't as good as good ol terrible fossil fuels. Why would anyone use anything with the exception of larger vehicles like trains or construction equipment on anything but gas? (Hybrids) Gas was cheap, plentiful, and has more power density than any battery can dream of. If it WASN'T for governments getting stricter, investing, and researching? We wouldn't have as many EVs. It took Tesla to show you can be profitable. Lithium Ion was invented in the 70s. Yet after the oil crisis it didn't make financial sense to invest more into it. It took electronics manufacturer Sony to see the value decades later. That is how technology works. No conspiracies. Well, the 1990s volt story is sketchy. Outside of that I stand by my statement. Whomever makes the next leap would patent that, and make billions in a heart beat.

  1993. Well if people are correct and the issue is how corssosive it is, and what it does to other parts that then impact the engine... Then a long term test is required to show that. Then to find out what to do about it ideally. This test is like me taking heroin for 3 days then being like. "Yup. As long as you don't OD. It is totally safe for you." And that is actually true. Taking heroin for 3 days won't really do anything. It is the life style choices, and lack of health mangement once you get addicted that makes it so bad. In fact I need a liver and kidney transplant, and many organs come from opiate addicts since it doesn't really hurt many of their organs. (Short of STDs, hah. Wait that isn't funny.) I would just like more data.

  1994.  @lindapowell117  People always forget about our submarines that are hopefully prowling somewhere close by. I know each group has at least one. The section of oceon from the Persian Gulf to Alaska/Russia must have at least a dozen at one time crawling with them and allies. Makes me wonder how many of our subs are on active duty patrolling at any given moment. And how many submarines of all nations are in the oceon playing hide and seek or actively pinging cruise boats haha. Has to be over 100.

  1995. Russia is full of BS. Maybe Ukraine was suffering more loses due to shortages. Yet the bill going through opened up their stockpiles as they receive more equipment. Yet Russia is known for their brute force attacks through trenches defended by minefields with drone /artillery support. Don't care who you are. If they had a 5 to 1 advantage they'd clearly be winning the war seeing as they have 1.3 million troops versus Ukraines 800k... Ukraines entire population is only 41 million, and aren't using their younger generation on purpose. Anyone with a logical brain can see that the math, and Russian success doesn't add up. With that said I don't know the numbers. They are all over the place. Each place you look has vastly different answers.

  1996. Sure blame the politicians. I'm sure they are a part of it, but so are the people in those towns too. They would fight tooth and nail to keep their life style. Where the true ignorance happens is that they literally blame everyone else for their situation. I've had one guy literally say it is 'you city slickers" that ruined this town. Whatever the hell that means. They were ignorant and too proud. The world moved on, but they wanted to hang onto it, and blame others. Honestly I feel no pity to people who refuse to move onto greener pastures.

  1997.  @boggisthecat  Between the Ukarine war and TSMC being in the top news? I never really appreciated the manufacturing industry. I pictured steel mills and the auto industry. Never really payed any attention to how specialized manufacturers are incredibly important to many things and we should support them as it isn't as easy to get it back up to snuff. Manufacturers like TSMC who rely on ASLM for their UAVs who rely on Carl Guiez to create mirrors. All three need ultra pure water systems and who makes those? I don't know! Who's making the measuring tools... Who's making the tools. It makes me wonder how many specialized manufacturers are required to build a single F-35. HOPING he will go down that rabbit hole or for other sophisticated technologies. From those who create the raw materials to the myriad of vast electronics, and RAM! PS English is such a bastardized language. Had to think if it's payed or paid. Maybe if I payed attention in school I would know. I don't so I am rolling with payed.

I never understood why no one has put some type of point defense system on a plane. Like on an AWAC or bomber. Make it some flak type gun or some shit! Not for combat OFC. Just to shoot the missiles coming at them. Also where are the stealth cruise missiles!?! Personally American politics is getting in the way of development, because people want to be reelected. The senate and congress are selfish and don't let the engineers do their own shit.

  2001. Stop using the West as a scapegoat for their brutality. Thry are just as bad towards each other. If they are not destroying Israel, or parading their hate for America? They are killing each other. Only the Pacific island Muslims seem to chill the F out, and not suicide bomb places. Or take hostages... Send rockets. I mean ISIS is causing havoc still. Muslim Africans are committing genocide in around Sudan. Northern Africa and the Middle East are a mess. Oh and none will help Palestinians financially or take in refugees. The Arab countries don't care for them, but really hate the fact Israel is the one doing it. Muslim countries are just terrible overall as far as governments go. I am not saying I beleive. Just some of the reasons why you see so many hate. Don't shoot the messenger. Also countries need to take responsibility for their own situations.

  2002. ​ @YouTubeH8sFreeSpeechAndFacts Yeah America doesn't need more nukes. I've seen other people angry we aren't building bigger nukes. They think that is better. In reality we are replacing them, and that is good enough. Since the program is classified. My bet is on nukes that are harder to destroy. They don't exactly have to be hypersonic for that to happen.

Sadly people are going to be against it - hypocrites.

If I ever get a liver and kidney transplant I'm purchasing different waters to test it. All will be ice cold and ill be blind folded and just try them all. Get everything from volcano water to natural springs to glacial etc etc.

  2007. The problem with nuclear is the upfront cost.

  2008.  @ccibinel  China does a lot of things cheap, and there are websites solely dedicated to the consequences of that. I wouldn't use them as an example for much. Those regulations are in place for a reason. Nuclear should never have short cuts. The issue is we have to privatize everything, and profit for the stake holders is the priority. One promising company is making it so we can convert old fossil fuel plants to nuclear. That sounds like a good plan to me. That is until decent battery storage outside of lithium becomes acceptable, because wind and solar are cheap. They are becoming cheaper by the day, and battery tech is exploding.

  2009. Stealth allows the F 35 to get closer, but could get close enough to drop regular bombs? I don't think they would. Glide bombs with intertial navigation would be more likely. Since Russia is brute forcing GPS. (Arguably destroying jamming equipment is just as important.) F 35 is a boss at detecting things while being undetected itsself, and then sending targeting information for other aircraft. I think that would be a likely use. Or having an F 35 carry a HARM missile while F 16s are used as decoys to draw fire. Now I don't know why SEAD squadrons still use F 16s over 35s, but last time I knew they did. Maybe someone else can answer that.

  2010. ​ @NeostormXLMAX What is the US? Taiwan? America is probably the most vocal defender of Taiwan for a western country. Europe can't even band together to actually give Ukraine enough. They gave too little too late overall although some countries are stand outs like UK and Poland. Seriously what happens in Asia right now will shape the world. You guys want the CCP to own Asia? That is their goal - and make no mistake the Han only care about the Han. Europe absolutely should support Japan and Taiwan. If Russia is a real threat they would do fucking more or send more.

  2011. Everyone here is talking about how inefficent it is. Yet I don't think energy production will be the big issue with the way we are bringing down cost per MW with wind, and solar. Storing it will be. So cost of storage per MW is what matters the most. Between all the issues it has. I doubt it will ever become the cheapest. It won't be useful for 99.9% of industries, and will be niche only.
    1
  2012. Yes because China plays fair although it is notorious for corporate espionage. The CCP will lie, cheat, and steal from businesses and don't do a rats arse about IP to scams. They ONLY care about Han business, and only those that align with the CCP... Oh and state funded hacking businesses and everyone's military is also "fair". China does the same thing and would do the same thing if they had the power to do so. Coerce, hah. You mean make deals? For all the flaws of the west the CCP would absolutely be the worse thing possible if it became the biggest super power. Chinese Han only care about Han. Their greed is even worse than the west - from extinct animals to using coal.

  2014. China is bleeding Russia. They are using Russia and Russia is in NO position to do anything about it. They are getting Russias oil on the cheap and Russia has screwed themselves by going to war with Ukraine. Their corruption and brain drain really really hurt them. Luckily Russia is one of the richest in terms of raw resources so it can scoot off of that alone. If China and America go to war. The first thing going is middle eastern oil - so Russia will be vital to China in that regards and will get back some bargaining power. As of now China is just using and abusing everyone they can but it is all catching up. America for as shady as we are - definitely make the better allies. People are crazy if they think only America benefits from it being so powerful. No - all of our closest allies benefit from America's dealings. They don't call it America's world order - it is the New World Order.

I am basically saying there will be a lot more uses than what we can dream of. Eventually. I just can't tell you how long.

  2018.  @anlockcharacter1104  No they won't. It will hurt the economy for sure and take changes to their system. When we all stopped making and developing nuclear plants while shutting down old ones we screwed up. Ukarine is an other issue entirely which I don't want to get into but I suspect giving them weapons will slowly decline anyway. Maybe america can give Europe some of the 1.4 million pounds of cheese.

  2019.  @Mr00Ted  I mean I think the F 22, and (maybe) the B 21 will be just as deadly with it. B 21 has a cross section of .0004 according to some. The F 22 has .0001, and F 35 of .005. Also the B21 might actually be better with other types of radars then the two fighters. Low Frequency Radar stealth I think it is called. We also know it is for recon, EW, and could have a bigger radar. So my point is if it can target and shoot a2a missiles it is going to be a massive threat even on its own! Yet it won't work on its own, because the AF isn't like that. For sure it will be working with F 35s doing what it does best. Be the quarter back of the field!

I remember reading the hardest part of making a nuclear bomb was the engineering and material aspect and not the theroy or design. It's insanely impressive and that's without the architecture and designs of the chips themselves. Truly underrated and we as consumers expect more and more every year.

I will say that. US also has the USMC gearing up to make the Pacific a living pain for any ship. Going back to being a force that hits hard, and quick. Not Army 2.0. The Army also is gearing up for a Pacific war with anti ship weapons. If Trump was actually savy geopolitically I'd say we would have this. We need allies, and he is just making that hell for everyone.

I'm mixed race. Native/Caucasian/Latino, and he blames white men for everything. Like he doesn't know how big the Muslim slave trade was. How African empires thrived off it. He acts like other races or countries have no prerogative or precedence to do anything on their own. That they somehow have no control over themselves, and that their elite weren't also in on the exploitation of their own. No, they can't think for themselves so white men came in, and took advantage of them. I'm sure he thinks Native Americans were peaceful people before white Europeans came. That we were hippies that lived with nature. Like not only were we scalping b1tches, killing babies in raids, but Mezo America was sacrificing each other on unfathomable scales. He suffers from white guilt for sure, and is completely biased against the west.

  2034.  @generalrendar7290  Also ships are moving in 3 demensions and carriers move extremely fast so any hiccup in that kill chain even for a fraction of a second may lead the missile to completely miss. That's because I believe the hypersonic missiles now are boost phase only and glide on the way down. The US hypersonic missiles in development are more like cruise missiles from what I've read. Still hard to shoot down I guess but I'm not exactly sure why that is? Then again I am nobody and I don't understand why many of our anti air guns and missiles are kinetic kill instead of some type of directional proximity fuse explosive. Surely a cloud of flak would be easier to hit everything from small drones to hypersonic missiles. Hell why not create a bird shot style gun firing 3,000 rounds that have thousands of tungsten pellets or something. (Obviously for last moment defense.) I know Sky Shield uses AHEAD ammo but the US uses HE or armor piercing. PS correct me if I am wrong about the hypersonic missiles.

These people aren't dumb or blind though never mistake that. Some just are okay with what they are given because it's all the know. You can see this in America too. People can and do leave the streets and I was one of em. I just got fed up and left people behind. Then I stopped trying to improve my life and the only thing I can blame for that is myself. I think they don't want machines as they don't want to be replaced. Not wearing shoes or gloves is just stubbronness.

  2039. There is no world where nukes are tossed, and America doesn't do something alliance or not. Russia can't take on Ukraine. Each country in NATO still has a large amount of stockpiles that they can at least tie Russia down till they get their war time economy out. Just think of all the fourth gen and fifth gen NATO has. Aircraft that can actually perform SEAD. Russia would not be able to make it a trench war with their artillery getting destroyed by air. F 16s have done missions inside Russian territory which is nuts. It would be Russias last mistake attacking NATO even with Trump being Putins lackey..

The cheapest kid is at least as expensive as the costs to give birth to it. So if you feed the mother just milk and potatoes, with some foraged plants for other vitamins you could get it down to about 50k to produce one. Probably earliest before you can put them to work is six. Have them help you making shoes or soccer balls. Maybe an Asian rice farm. Only then can you start making your money back. Only by six are they start becoming worth something.

Dont want to lose it in enemy hands. Someone else said in Syria we've been jamming all of Russias systems when they have tried to attack American positions.

Or was it some type of buffalo? The explosions and sink holes are going to be massive for sure though and we will be able to figure out how to make the land arable. Technically rain forest soil is terrible and there are still farmers who make it work. Either way I foresee different farming methods anyway.

  2051. Exactly. Yeah let us give our kids food that they won't eat. One? There is nothing wrong with high calorie and high protein food. It is the amount people eat. Stop attacking the food; but the habit or frequency. Secondly there is nothing wrong with getting vegetables from sauce. Sauce is literally crushed vegetables FFS. They give you apple sauce in the hospital. Sauces, and condiments have a ton of calories, and nutrition sometimes too. Give the kid a vitamin if you're worried about nutrition anyway. Or feed them something else when at home, and everyone has time to cook. Me? When I was a kid I wish I was rich enough to get a pizza lunchable daily. Better then the bad apple you guys seem to want to shove down peoples throats. Yeah let us produce food kids will just toss. That is the spirit! Surely will help the earth. It will be organic with no preseveratives so that way it will take extra resources, and not last long as long! Great thinking. Lunchable pizza have helped me tremendously this year. I'm dying from Liver and Kidney disease without a transplant. No appetite, and always puking when I tried eating. Well earlier this year I found out my body could handle pizza lunchables. (The non kids one without desert or drinks). I do not know why, but my body would not reject them. One apple, and one lunchable, plus 90٪ protein, and 2 ounces of Kefir changed my life around. Eating something high in calories and protein is better then not eating at all. I already will feel for your kids. They are going to be the kids that snuck junk food since they never got it, and became fat rhe second they became adults since they were never taught how to balance their diet.

  2052. Of course I would argue the millions Russians dying faster than the Germans could kill em mattered more than Winter. Fact the Germans brought three months of supplies. Wait weeks?

Even if that special raid succeeded it would have been a simple hiccup.

  2053. ​ @kiabtoomlauj6249 Yeah China is milking Russia, and probably benefits from this war more than anyone. They are not friends. They are an alliance of frienemies made to hedge bets against the West. Their potential enemy on their northern border is bleeding itsself dry. They are getting oil and gas for cheap. While also getting cheap imports, and a great export market since now Russian Citizens really have to buy a lot from China. Russia has been using minorities from Siberia first in the war. Using them as cannon fodder. I hear there are entire towns in Siberia now that are pretty empty since the men were drafted in such large numbers. The siberian states or oblasye were largely independent to begin with from what I've read. What happens when Moscow is weak? What happens if China looks like a better parent? Will they try to gain independence? Will Moscovians who are largely not drafted riot against Putin when Russia has no choice, but to take from their population for the war? Russia has 3 years in a perfect world for them is my guess.

Black Foot and Cherokee were not peaceful tribes either. Cherokee owned slaves and the Blackfoot were notoriously savage. Native Americans weren't peaceful hippies. Many were warriors where you could only gain status through feats during raids. Like killing an other Brave. Murdering newborns. Scalping. All before any European stepped foot in North America. Not saying neither of our countries did wrong. Only we did what every other culture did.

  2056.  @Anonymoose66G  Agreed, but it is really expensive even if you find the right place. As you said, Iceland, Hawaii, Japan, or anywhere on a fault line is required usually at the moment without it being exorbitant. Free heating, cooling, and power all in one is hard to beat though. I hear they last for a long time as well with almost not maintenence, but don't quote me. I've been seeing a lot of start up trying to make it available anywhere, and if they combine that with the new mining technology that allows one to mine deeper, quickly, and for cheaper? Well that would be game changing. There is a new laser/plasma mining tool for example that would allow it, but I guess it is only used after a certain depth for some reason. My dream home would have a hot spring on the land, on top of hill/cliff, or mountains, with a beautiful forest, haha.

  2058. I love huge ships, but I think in the age of missiles they just make easy targets. You're putting all your eggs in one basket. I would design ships as small, as possible. Smaller the a Destroyer if I could, incredibly fast, low to the sea with the smallest profile, but still blue water. Of course the square cube law means they would carry less missiles total. Yet they wouldn't also be target priority 1#, and have the ability to be more flexible. They can scatter like cock roaches, but still kill you just as easily. So instead of one big ship you have 30 that can each destroy two to three ships themselves. How many missiles does it take to destroy a carrier? I'd work my way back from that number. Japan as an island fortress... I can picture it. Love the idea.

  2059. It doesn't make any sense. The salt is coming from the ocean... All you're doing is putting concentrated salt water back in but in theroy it should be the same amount of salt. The water will eventually make its way back. I don't know why they can't use the salt and other minerals in the brine anyhow. Surely they can get it out and sell it as sea salt!

  2061. Two questions. Why aren't the blades longer? They seem like they have a lot of clearance from the ground. Secondly. I noticed the generator has a bunch of coils around the diameter instead of just being one large copper coil. Is there a reason for that? Saves copper for slightly less gain?

  2063.  @Seion173  I was thinking that too while writing it and it is a valid point for sure which I have no answers too. What I can say is a hypersonic penetrating large bomber can add survivability and flexibility. Hypersonic missiles that have range and decent payloads are huge! The launchers will be high priority targets and may not be able to relocate to safety once found as easily as a supersonic stealth bomber can. The bomber can use cheaper and smaller payloads and hit different targets in X given amount of time. I'm not sure how long it takes to reload a launcher once it is fired it's munitions TBH. I feel having the hypersonic bomber opens up a lot more options in the long run IF it can be done. I'm personally not a fan of weapons too expensive to risk or use. I doubt we will be chucking hypersonic missiles at tanks any time soon. So having a bomber that can get on scene quickly and retreat safely would be awesome. You call it overkill but I call it redundancy! There is no kill like over kill! Ha JP I'm just a layman who wants to see what such a low altitude, hypersonic capable, penetration heavy bomber would look like!

  2067.  @eddyb2001  Right? I'm not a communist. We gave private companies the chance. They picked going a route that isn't up to snuff. I think privatizing the power grid is as dumb as privatizing the military. Our entire country relies on energy, and companies always pick paying share holders instead of reinvesting these days. In the only time in our history really can we produce power without actually having to hit the jackpot. Solar and wind are there, and the sun over produces daily in every state. Solar works even in the winter on a cloudy day. Just need to capture, over produce, and store it. Personally I think subsidizing solar and batteries even more is the way to go. Getting solar and batteries on every house. Not now. Once scientist figure out how to make pervoskite for dirt cheap that last against weather in the next five years.

  2070. I did not mind the broader idea. That there was something horrfifc in the void. A type of evil. What I did mind was the fact they were evil moons. The creature design was so silly. I would have preffered some Cthulhu like God. Something better than a sphereical shape. Their ship could have been a giant moon. Not the sentience behind it all. Also if you could make infinite energy. You wouldn't need to be symbiotic. 40k Tyranids meet necromorph would have been a cooler creature design.

  2071. You know I've gotten into arguments with other atheists(I am agnostic) who say Christians aren't good for donating or doing charity work. They argue since they do it out of things like fear of being rejected from heaven. It means they really aren't doing good for the right reasons. So I ask the same question. Who cares what the motivation is. As long as they are helping? I dream of winning the lottery so I can help people. It really makes me feel good about myself. (I just gotta actually play the lottery lol.) Does the fact I get a dopamine kick from helping someone make it any less helpful? I don't think so. I don't think it matters either if someone does it for influence, religious purposes, reputation or even taxes. Insert whatever. To me the end results are the same. In fact we should TRY to give as many social incentives to make people less selfish. I don't care if someone is helping for selfish reasons. As long as the person they are helping receives the help they need. Plaster it all over the internet if you feel the need to show the world that you aren't a PoS. Also I could use some help with double organ failure. Buy me an Arc 580 gpu please before I die hah. Okay no just have a good day instead.

  2072. Boeing is dabbling in some generational leaps right now with their hybrid RED engines, and that new wing design. If they can get a rotating detonation engine working.

Anyway maybe that is why they are doing what they are doing. Just waiting when the time is right to develop a new type, and invest in that.

Yet in real life you can see what countries are poor, and what aren't just by getting satellite images. Like I gather you could see the decline in South Africa by comparing pictures from ten years ago to now. Then gather they aren't doing well economically. China though is a type of country that would learn about this then put up more lights just to look like they are improving. The CCP is all about saving face, and looking good, and lies.

  2077. Cheap bat like swarm drones are going to be the future. Imagine having 100 drones flying at ya loaded with a pound of explosives zipping through the air. These drones will have AI to fly like bats, navigate to a location, inside buildings or behind cover, and target you before making a kamikaze run. Nothing you'll be able to do when they get sent to your sector. Obviously AI needs to catch up, but I do know research for swarming has been going on for the last 15 years. Then you have their bigger brother that can seek, locate, and fire a few rounds. Before going back to a forward operating base. Anyway cheap 3d printed bat swarm drones will be a thing. I already seen a video of a racing drone used to do a kamikaze attack on some sentry system. It was incredibly fast.

  2078.  @jessehachey2732  Scifi fof now! AI and human recognition is improving rapidly. Give it twenty years max. If you don't think that is the future you're mad. It will start small. I doubt America will allow it first in our own systems, but once that beast is unleashed America will most likely follow. It is no different then dropping a shit ton of bombs. Ya don't check to see if everyone is a combatant when you blow a building. You accept there might be callateral damage before unleashing the bomb. The first hunter killer drones will be used like that. "No friendlies in this area? Affirmative? Proceed." Of course there will be fail safes to shut them down too. We aren't ever going to hand over the keys to AI. That would be asking for trouble. I am also not afraid of that type of AI gaining sentience either since it isn't created for that - would be like worrying about a colony of ants suddenly gaining free thought and start making pictures. They won't have the processing power to do that. Looks like the AF is pushing hard for self reliant AI in its wingman drones. Just like a pilot requires orders from the higher ups to be able to go hot? So will the first hunter killer drones. Rules of engagement though. Jesus how many soldiers and pilots have died following them.

  2079. I hate both the pro EV and anti EV crowd. Fossil fuel to power plant to EV will always be more efficent. He purposely skipped that I feel like as he rarely misses anything. There are so many steps for us to get gas in our cars which are only 25٪ efficent. EVs eliminate a lot of those steps for one, and power plants are much more efficent at using the Fossil Fuel we do pull. Renewable power only became cheaper recently, and newer technologies promise to lower those numbers even further. So expect that number to rise sharply for any new power generation. So of course the number is low at the moment, but expect that to rise as needed. Third the grid needs an overhaul already. So it already needs money regardless, and beefing it up with newer technologies to handle the influx of EVs isn't a giant leap. If everyone in America drove an EV today? We would need around 35% increase in power generation which is not a small number. Luckily for us no one is asking for us to hand in the keys today. The reason why it makes sense to get off ICE is due to efficiency on how we use that fuel. No it won't be totally green, but some will. Batteries are getting cheaper, hold more charge, charge faster, getting lighter, use less harmful resources, and taking less space. Lithium Air chemistry which has recently been cracked has the potential to be 10 to 50 times better for kwh/kg. That is enough to make electronic planes for anything, but intercontinental flight possible. ICE is pretty much maxed out and won't be getting significantly better. I would like to see series hybrids for niche applications and military. Oh and gas for intercontinental flights.

  2080. Whoa that's insane and you are actually mostly correct! They preferred professional rowers of if they used slaves they usually promised freedom. Scipio did use thousands of slaves during the Punic Wars but their fate is unknown. When you think of rowers back then you think of one of the worse jobs possible. Slaves tied chained to their spot with a slave master wipping them for motivation and a drummer for orders. Truly a hell job. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just assumed back when slavery was a thing it made sense to have them do it. Its actually insane how many people were on those ships at any given time. I have to read up on the logistics like food and fresh water. Also how important the sales were to propelling the ship across the Mediterranean.

Then Isreal fights back like a cornered animal, destroys them, and then takes more land. Rinse and repeat over 7 wars at least. Maybe if Arabs stopped sending rockets and terrorists to Isreal, and across the world then they'd be in a better position. Yet nope. The Arab governments there just are hateful people who embrace terrorists over their regular citizens since fighting a Jihad is more important than making infrastructure. All they know is war. If they aren't trying to kill jews they are killing each other. What a sad bunch. Scapegoating jews for all their problems when it is in fact themselves. Especially the Palestinians. Even the Arab states are like, "Nah go somewhere else. Cannot have you causing chaos here." Like they did in Lebanon decades ago.

The thing can fly it's self already which I did not know. I shouldn't be surprised. Large foot print, weapon placement, and the fact it cannot auto rotate (huge amount of discussion on this topic. Some say tilt rotors can, and some say it's better to try to glide it down. Ill leave that to the experts.) At least it can glide though! I think the superior range and speed make up for it. Speed is going to be life.

  2092. No. Why we keep doubting China just to have them prove us wrong over and over is beyond me. Don't underestimate your opponents. This is a very bad time to do and continue slacking.

The DoD really needs to start funding these small starts ups who aren't out there purely for stock holders.

  2094.  @PaulVerhoeven2  Batteries have peaked? What moron YTuber or TikToker told you this? We have hardly scratched the surface of many battery chemistries theoritical potential beleive it or not. Wherever you gleaned that is simply, and factually wrong. There are breakthroughs in the labs year after year with no signs of stopping. Some of them take time to figure out kinks, or more importantly how to scale up. There are many batteries right now as we speak superior to the ones on the road. They are just too expensive to put into a car. Lithium Air batteries max potential for example rivals kerosene. It has like 1,000w/kg less. It sits at 12,341 watts per kilogram. While current batteries today are 200-500 w/kg. Batteries have a LONG way to go. That is just a fact. We will be seeing 700 w/kg in five years especially since people are cracking solid state batteries. AI algorithms will help us research even better ones as well.

  2096. Yeah. There is a reason some don't leave the lab. Cost is an issue. Yet saftey, charge rate, and charge cycles is the other. Who wants a battery that lasts a week, but takes half a week to charge then dies after 20 charge charge cycles. Wish lithium air would work! 20 times the energy density at HALF the maximum therotical density. That max is 12.3k. Wh/Kg. Nesrly as good as kerosene. It is the best therotical chemical battery science knows of.

There will be no colony or base on Mars in the next 20 years. N Elon better be working on the next Rocket, because someone will catch up. I don't think Starship is enough to sustain more than a few. Next evolution of rockets is coming quick. Space X better be working on a full flow Rotating Detonation rocket. A few government agencies, colleges, and companies are working on em. One called a multi mode RDRE uses tesla valves to fix the fuel injecting problem, and a aerospike which I thought was neat. Future is going to be sick. Venus is where we should focus our sights on anyway. It has gravity, atmosphere, energy, resources, and closer. Floating inflatable space stations!

(Either flying as low as possible or high.)

  2101.  @xxZerosumxx  I was thinking that but maybe they plan on waiting. Our multirole fighter fleet alone is enough to do huge bombing missions and we still have the B-1B(status keeps changing on keeping them) and B-52H on the way. Not really sure how a B-52 will survive against a peer to peer adversary. I guess we will only use them after air superiority is established. I still like the idea of Rapid Dragon. Wonder why the B-52 can't do a similar mission.

Hydrogens volumetric is garbage, and no known science that I know of can change that. Look at the Toyota Mirai. Thing weighs more than a Model 3, with poor horse power, AND much less space.

  2114. Now we just need to stop using kinetic kill and go back to flak for drones and other threats. Missiles aren't cost effective for defense. Flak needs to make a comeback and laser technology needs to improve. Rheinmetall has created a new ammo for their systems. I think Skynext, and possibly MANTIS and Skyguard? Basically the FCS primes the fuse as the round leaves the barrel and the shell explodes throwing a wall of tungsten in a decent uniform pattern at the target(s). Think the pattern is what makes it so good. It can also be used against ground targets. Not sure if it also has a proximity sensor. Why we don't even use proximity fuses for the CIWIS is beyond me, because I don't care - getting even hit by small tungsten flak will tear up any drone, shell, and missile. The speeds of the incoming weapon and outgoing shell just makes it impossible for something not to get chewed up. It seems like it would be hell a lot easier to hit the target as even a few pellets would mess up the trajectory of anything. No instead we'd rather hit a bullet with a bullet midflight...I mean it's crazy we can do that but why we don't we use flak. It would probably use less overall ammo too. Seen a test where it shot down like 10 swarm drones in a small burst. Someone told me its because anti ship missiles are armored but at the speeds of both objects heading towards each other I doubt a missile could still punch through it and STILL hit the target.

So we finally get rid of the islam fundlementist. Just to put our power security into the ocean where any nefarious actor could cut? Naah. I like energy security.

  2119. Sadly I think this maybe a case. Just saw a video that had a lot of videos and good points showing multiple attacks from this past week showing it true. Something like at least 100 vehicles and a few hundred. It wasn't just ONE bad attack though. I stopped watching midway as it was getting depressing to be honest. I hope Zelekensky pulls back and regroup and reconsider. NATO dropped the ball guys by taking so long with trickling in weapons... Russia had all the time in the world to make solid defenses and train a lot more soldiers... NATO has given too little too late... It is going to be a war of attrition I think from here on out. Also I am certain now Russia blew the dam to free up man power as even they suspected it was starting. I still have a small chance that it could have been a probing attack that went worse then expected but if thats the case then these were some real costly mistakes... I'm going to go find something else depressing to read now. May Putin burn.

Crazy that these new FABs and other huge manufacturing plants coming in places where water is scarce... They require a HUGE amount of fresh water to operate. Why are people building them in the drier areas is beyond me (I know why tax incentives and they have politicians who will bend over backwards because of money). Since people are so against nuclear we are going to see water bills go up sharply as we are going to have to start building more desaltion plants for some cities. Why we let so much water go into the oceon is beyond me too. Recycle it! What worries me too is the massive aquafers. Either they are drying up or being polluted. Anyway water shortages are going to be one of the biggest issues going forward. Still don't comprehend how we can see more rain on average but less water to hold. Also why does it matter if the water comes from a snow pack or from a deluge from up in the mountains? Either way it's flowing in the same direction is it not? Just a laymen do not mind me.

  2122. ​ @polysporin8332 Those students aren't getting jobs, and don't want to work in the factory making consumer goods. Unemployment is really bad there. So bad that the CCP stopped publishing it. It is sort of insane that China hasn't taken number 1 due to their population. I mean, they basically have the same population of the US, and EU combined. They have the resources, and don't care about the environment. They only invest in green for security reasons to decentralize the grid, but for every huge solar farm there is a new coal plant. The Demographics will catch up, and the lack of enviromental health will compound that as the effects of having toxic crap strewn everywhere catches up on their aging population. Anyways that will just slow them. Again, their population, and control of resources means they have all the advantages. EU, and NA will need to invest in to robots, giga presses, 3d printing, mines/supply chain if they ever want to compete. Yet like the other person said. Virtues with unicorn policies will hold the EU back. Can't save the planet, produce, and consume, at the same time really while trying to be number 1.

  2123. Why do we spend so much on fighters... I don't understand our obsession. Long gone are the days of 1,000s of aircraft in the huge swarms until drone Swarms with AI become a thing. I am glad we are not sitting on our laurels but why not invest in some other airframes. Rapid Dragon I think it's called seems like a cool concept. How about a new A10. A cheap armored tank that can loiter and support troops. I saw a video of a gunship concept that was interesting. Think of a decently sized aircraft that can rain 155mm shells miles out of view using balastic computers to aim. Why use shells? Cost. It would have the ability to loiter a hundred miles out and fire at sectors and could get to hotspots in a jiff. Rugged enough to be near front line strips, simple to maintain, and nothing fancy. Just literally a flying artillery piece. Pair it with a recon drone and watch sectors go to hell.

  2126. If they picked GD bullpup I could see why it was replaced. Bullpups for people like me who weren't born and raised on the m4 platform don't find anything wrong with them. In fact I find them easier to aim and target due to the weight and the reload didn't bother me. The trigger was the only thing that bothered me but that can be mitigated. Can have a shorter gun or keep the same length with a longer barrel. Anyway the SiG... People are already complaining about the bullet and civilians don't even get the military ammo which I hear is ALOT harsher on the shooter. Also some are concerned about the barrel life and such.

  2128. Yup tilt rotors are the future boys! Helicopters will still have a place but the maximum speed limit is soon upon us. Wonder how fast a tilt rotor can go. I mean we still haven't reached WWII fighter speeds yet. Surely at least that fast no? One thing... I thought the Defiant at top cruise speed flew like a gyrocopter? Using the rotors only for extra lift with no power added? It still suffers from retreating blade stall then ehm Someone told me that... Speaking of issues with rotors. Do tilt rotors suffer from vortex ring state?

  2130. I seen a crafts silhouette at night with my friend that hovered there silently for about 5 minutes. Enough for us to stop the car, notice it wasn't making a noise although we could see the silhouette at night! Anyway it was a triangle shape with three whitish feint lights on the ends, and a black reflector reddish light in the middle. We thought it was a helicopter, but couldn't hear it. Yet again could see the outline. Anyway after trying to take a photo of it with 2006 cell phone tech (lol). It finally flew off. That thing flew off like it was fired from a gun. It had basically zero acceleration, before vanishing over a hilll with trees miles away. Far enough to make me turn my head following it, and then popping back out heading east over the horizon towards the ocean. Now I won't begin to say what it was. All I know is it hovered in places for minutes, it was silent and people cannot handle that type of accerlation. It flew faster than videos of missiles. I will not say it was this or that. Just telling you all what I saw. Hope I get to know what it was before I die or a solid video.

  2134. ​ @SkyHawk2137 One of the great ironies of colonization is that Europeans did plunder. Duh. Yet they also valued other cultures histories, and art so they gobbled up antiques, and kept them safe in their museums. Often times saving them from locals who saw priceless pieces as junk, or wouldn't think twice of destroying a place for a farm. Yet once they realized what they found was worth something to Europeans things changed. So European greed stopped a lot. Well, some. I should say the British did. Well I'm generalizing of course. Spanish seemed to melt down all the gold and silver it seems. French seemed to shoot faces off giant human faced cats. I don't blame them. If a cat with a human face looked at me I would try shooting it too.

The man who restored Russia to its former glory, and made the West afraid to act. He just miscalculated so badly it isn't even funny. It all backfired in such a spectacular fashion. Ukraine might have not had a strong national identity before. Lemme tell you that is no longer the case. Ukranians are legends now. They will never forgive Russia. He has nothing to gain, but if he cannot lose either. No way out for Putin or his legacy, but to move forward.

  2136. No one is saying that the Chinese shouldn't make money. Just only that their industries like solar and EVs receive huge subsides by the government. Not only that. They also have tariffs and rules foreign companies have to abide by to give their domestic industries an advantage. So should the US or the west not do the same? Why is China the only one allowed to do buisness practices that benefit just them? America is just evening the playing field.

  2137. This video is so biased and ridiculous.

Also Asia has a huge drug problem. We actually record our issues. "How can they not accept refugees." Ha! Yes. India or Asians.. Known for being acceptable of all races and foreigners. My ass....India a country notorious for their women being raped in the streets and the class system has any right to judge an other country. Eyrope is angry that other countries are sick of Indian sending their trash to other countries. People who go to live in an other country and don't assimilate at all or cause issues are an issue - regardless of nationality or race. This isn't news. This is India Fox Channel.

  2138. China isn't dumb. Unless they've become extremely confident on the point of arrogance... Why would you EVER tell a country you have that capability? China isn't usually dumb when it comes to these things. Which makes me incredibly suspicious about the whole thing behind it. Generally they are secretive. Maybe they've drank their own kool-aid. Which in that case thanks for letting us know. With that said the US needs to invest in The Expanse style PDFs. Lasers don't work against fast targets. Having a burst of 20-40mm round with a fuse that launches tungsten pellets in a uniformed pattern like the AHEAD ammo would obliterate any missile. If I were the US I would invest a LOT of money in developing a system for both aircraft, and vehicles. Basically a super reactive precise automated turret paired with a targeting system that can track incoming projectiles, and blast them. Or a trophy like system for aircraft needed to be made yesterday. Launches a missile/ordanance to destroy the missile. Use both radar, optical cameras, and AI.

It is the fact that no single country can make the more advance chips on their own.TSCM is just one part of a global chain that will not work without the other, and these companies simply cannot be replaced without at billions and billions of dollars plus at least a decade of hard work. It just won't happen soon anyway although anyone who underestimates the CPP and Chinese are fools. They have the man power, the will, and aren't afraid to do anything to get it. Even if they caught up today they don't have the research of what will happen tomorrow if that makes sense. Companies are constantly working on the future and that's what led them to where they are and China needs to also do the same. Focus on emerging tech where no one is so far ahead and while that is risky and most fail you will get your golden future cookie ticket eventually - sort of like ASLM has done.

  2142. ​ @greenflightacademy Generally the Aerospace industry is the first adopters of many technologies too. Since they are willing to spend the extra price to improve performance. Which is great as that generally means that technology will trickle down to the consumer level. There are many battery technologies right now in the lab, that don't make sense at the moment to produce at scale for cars for example. If there is more uses in the aerospace industry for electrical planes? Then it will speed up development, because they are willing to spend 10x more for better battery densities. Those improvements then when trickle down to things like cars, cellphones, and other consumer products. So I'm glad they found uses even if it is just trainers for now. Personally I think E planes will revolutionize air travel. Instead of large planes that carry a lot far. We would be using them to transport a small amount of people from X to Y within maybe anywhere from 20 to 1k mile radius. Basically regional flights. Keep gas for everything else. Espdcially trans continental. Remember people. We are already on the first steps to air taxis that have VTOL capabilities. The rich will use them first, replacing helicopters. As battery tech improves us plebs will be using it.

Stop using other countries as a scapegoat for your own issues. Oh and Turkey supports some outright questionable groups while trying to shut down other countries from defending their own boarders. Like joining NATO.

  2144. ​ @Chris-hx3om Let us get one thing straight. EVs are better than ICE after 30k miles. They last over 100k miles longer with projections of the newest batteries lasting as long as 500k through a million miles. They require fewer parts for maintenence. While also having a majiority of their parts recyclable. These numbers will improve. Secondly. We are a capitalist society. So when people say, "Yeah but we only have X much lithium" and won't have enough! They are using today's numbers are not projecting new production which every majior country is currently looking to secure. None of the rare earths in batteries are really rare with the exception of cobalt which is being phased out. Nor do they have to be mined with such disdain for the environment. When you look at environmental studies today they are using data collected from countries like Chilie and China- countries that pollute like mad. As countries like America start producing the numbers will be better. So as the technology for mining, and manufacturing improves so will those data numbers. This is also true for power. People like to say how will we power it all? Well in the last 20 years? 7 of those had power demand FALLING until 2022. So why would we be making more power if there wasn't demand for it? Why would power companies invest when the grid was good enough for current demand? Again we are a capitalist society. So power companies are already building more infrastructure Wind is also the cheapest source of new energy production. Solar may follow suit pretty soon with Pervoskite cells that you literally can print for cheap. People also like to say renewables cannot be baseline power. That is equivocally incorrect - renewables plus batteries can do it, and energy storage is dropping like a freaken rock. In fact power companies love energy storage/batteries now. It is making them a ridiculous amount of money. I bet that study also didn't include factors like the cost of getting gas to you. With all that said the world is screwed. I'm for EVs simply because they are faster by far on practical roads.

Already seen many videos of Russians surrendering and reporting they aren't supplied or fed - not even paid. Not sure if it just pro Ukraine propaganda but if the Russian soldiers had a lick of sense they would know Pouty Pootin doesn't care.

  2147. One of my exes did Herba Life. I took a look at what it was. My mind was blown. The whole reason why it worked was essentially due to drinking a ton of fluid, and a calorie deficit. Dirt/grass flavored water. It didn't even help with hunger, because she was a cunt while on it. God forbid I reminded her she's on a diet, and didn't let her "take a bite" of my food. I.e. two slices of pizza. Don't get me wrong. Drinking fluid to feel full is something that people have done. Yet you can just drink water with a vitamin to get the same effect. It was such a damn sham! Remember folks. Calories in. Calories out. You can eat anything as long as you eat less than the amount you need. Good luck fatties!

  2148. Trump has no clue how to do anything. Even if he wanted to save anything. He is doing the complete opposite. The fact 3 months can go by in this Presidential run with everything that has happened, and still think Trump has any sort of plan is wild. Still wish you the best. God can take Trump and Elon in a Cyber Truck. AI can't scale anymore. There aren't enough GPUs so it will be interesting how it goes. Going to need power plants to keep scaling too! No government and average person is investing into AI for AI agents like DeepSeek or these current models. Either these LLMs need to figure out a plan how to achieve AGI or the money and hype will stop. So I dont think China has ruined any plan yet. The plan has always been AGI, and something like smart robots. Personally I think revolutions in hardware and architecture is required. Brain uses 20 watts. We are missing something to say the least.

PS: There are few innocents in war. If you're a civilian, and you're adding to the war effort? You're explicit. Whether you're growing rice for the military or building arms.

A lot of Franchises (Or Corperate) do not take kindly to things like that for obvious reasons, as it hurts the brand. Now if it is a corporate thing, and standard practice. That would be utterly insane if the public found out so now I am curious. Going to Google. Brand is everything which is why I'm saying it is the management. While Starbucks doesn't technically Franchise. They have a similar system where you get a license for a store. I think Starbucks had a "give grounds for fertilizer." Thing. All coffee shops should. Hell, sell it for cheap even, as it is good fertilizer.

Viper is sleek. Hind is my favorite as it looks like it wants to throw down a hail of rockets before unloading a squad to clean up the bodies. It's weird that Russia fields the Havoc and the Alligator. They look pretty similar on paper TBH. Helicopters really need to figure out a way to counter MANPADs either by stand off or active measures like a trophy system. It's too easy ATM for infantry to conceal themselves just waiting for a helicopter to get within 5km.

  2162. Not true. In war games carriers have been sunk. They can be very vulnerable, and are getting more vulnerable by the year to thinks like salvos from land based missiles. A Swedish submarine snuck past the carriers defenses in a wargame, and successfully sunk it. Then did it again in an other one. So the US literally leased it to find out how to combat it! You should look it up. Pretty mind boggling! Gotta give it to the Swedes. Anyways the fact is they are vulnerable, and the top brass plus experts are getting worried. They are a HUGE target who's value has no equal. Sending 100 Hypersonic missiles to sink one is still a win for instance. We need defenses against swarm attacks. Lasers are useless against Hypersonic missiles for the next 40 years since they'll never have enough time to stay on target.

Before Putins guards can even react he will be among them shouting "GLORY TO MOTHA RUSSIA!"And gun down all the corrupted, and soulless "leaders" that dare stand before his might. Within moments him and his noble elite warriors will have secured the room and then.... Then Prigizhon will put down his weapons, get off his horse, and approach the coward Putin who is trapped. In front of the cameras they shall duel for control with fisticuffs! Then... And only then... After Putin begs for mercy will he rip his lungs out, and use them to create a glorious song that will be remembered for millennium as the start of the new Russian Empire!

  2186. @IsaacKuo     Oh I assumed it already had a camera the operator saw through. What MCLOS system you guys talking about? Blowpipe? Pretty sure there has been a few MCLOS systems over the past century. Yeah that is ridiculous trying to hit a god damn plane with controlling a missile with a third person perspective. Sims are aweeome. If I were command I'd have all plane/vehicle crews in em as much as possible in the most realistic sims I could buy. Sims, and realistic video games are amazing for training. Each day those crews who perform the best get 50$ Applebees gift cards. That will surely motivate the average American soldier. Anyway yeah I thought MCLOS was camera operated. This reminds me when I was like 11 in late 90s, maybe a bit older. I wanted an RC Helicopter. We go to this nice Hobby/Model/toy store where the owner asked my mom what we needed. We told him a helicopter. He asked my mom how much she made, which is odd. She was honest, and he basically told me not to get the 500$ helicopter, but 200$ plane since I would surely break the helicopter on the first day. (He said everyone does) Of course within 10 years toy helicopters were like 20$, and flew themselves. Anyway what a dumb idea. It is so hard to judge aircrafts movements in the sky sometimes, especially if there is nothing to help differentiate the distances or heading. My friend and I saw a UFO. If it didn't go from hovering in place for 5 minutes to taking off like a bullet with zero acceleration, and Gs no human piloted aircraft could survive. I would have guessed it being a helicopter. (Later found out by others we probably saw what is called the Tr3-B.)

It was woven and had little rings that threads were passed through making a grid.

  2190. Yes this is what I'm curious about as well especially with their high speed lines. I guess there are a few that were built in hopes of it helping certain cities but they are bleeding massive amounts of money for lack of use. Then you have all those ghost cities. We only hear about Chinas successes fot one. Their government controlled media doesn't exactly talk about the bad. Like the Three Gorges Dam leaking. Also since they way they take statistics a lot of statistics are suspect or outright lies. Since the local governments have such large incentives to flat out lie for their own gain... Like them being eco friendly - literally have entire fields of rebar with cotton on top spray painted green to look like plants are being grown to aircraft that survey them! At least that is the theroy on why they are doing it, but I've seen the videos.

  2191. ​ @georgethompson913 If Nixons plan to make Nuclear Plants by like 2010 succeeded. I forgot the number. We would habe 2,000% of our energy needs. A little over kill, but that would have been awesome. Hopefully SMRs with modern nuclear science can take over. I'm for localization anyway instead of putting up huge mega plants. A combination of wind, solar, geothermal and nuclear could give us all we needed. We would still need gas products though like for military and airliners. I don't see electrification of all the military being good when the enemy takes advantage of petroleum. Hopefully lithium air batteries take off. That could certainly be good enough for almost every civilian use including planes.
    1
  2192. The lab made lithium solid state air batteries at ROOM temperature! What is cool about air batteries whether it be aluminum or lithium it can therotically also use the surrounding atmosphere lowering the weight of them. Think of it like a jet versus a rocket. Anyway no other battery chemistry has so much potential. I am really hoping it doesn't have any major flaws, and can actually be scaled. Having a battery at half the maximum efficiency that carries 2,500kwh/kg with air included would be absolutely game changing.

  2193. Russian tactics are garbage. If they were any good they wouldn't be in the mess. Sheer amount of equipment, from artillery to man power, and most importantly ammo is what gives them the advantage. By a huge one at that. Ukraine was in the top 5 poorest European countries when this war started. Russian tactics are the reason why this war is still going on. They won't have an AWAC system if Ukraine keeps hitting them. Crazy if they hit an other one. Russia only had a handful. Each one down means others are taken out of the maintenece schedule. They'll be falling out of the sky before we know it on their own.

  2195. ​ @Ericwvb2 Fun fact! Most fatties on average only over consume an average of a large regular soda! So ordering a diet coke after a ton of other things is an actual recommended strategy. I don't even think it is even per meal but 200 calories which can be one giant soda from a store. I was told that by my dietician while talking about how people get so fat. An observation I can't prove. Diet Coke drinkers specifically are the coke heads of the soda world! It can visibly ruin their meal or day if they don't have it. Start prowling the town for a diet coke fountain then in desperation buying a diet Pepsi in disgust. Also Mexico blames America for them drinking 4 liters of soda, because they don't have water treatment plants for their own general use! So silly for governments to expect a buisness to do their job.

It isn't a question of if, but where, when, and how much. If the devil designed dust it is moon dust. Personally while it would be awesome to go to the moon, and have a base. I'm not sure why we are caught up on it until we can really start building on it. Meaning when we have the capabilities to launch super heavy things frequently. There is nothing there! I guess it is a good start for a Mars base though. (I think we should focus on Venus colonies instead. )

  2201. ​ @unclebully1871 Marching lengths depended on general, and era. Some of the greatest generals would make their men move! Meaning long forced marches. A good military could march 20 miles in march. 10ish on average depending on military. Also terrain of course mattered. I remember reading at some points Alexander had his men march 30 to 35 miles in a day! Carrying their own supplies. This would shock the opposing enemy of course if done right. Other times your army would show up exhausted to a battle. The thing people always over look is heat stroke. I don't know about you guys, but fighting in the mediterranen heat sounds like hell. Wearing metal armor in the heat no less while it bakes you like an oven too hot to touch. Then having to go, and fight for hours with your adrenaline pumping. How many men died simply from heat exhaustion? I think I would have preferred to fight in the fall to early winter. Yet I guess back then they had to do their yearly harvest. While the spring to summer allows some foraging.

  2202. More vanes more power. More efficent use of energy. What is amazing about your flap idea is you can have many more. Try putting the flaps at an angle. Also using a softer material for the vanes than the casing is advised. So it whittles em down sealing a gap. Think how a brushless motor works. Then design the flaps to still make perfect contact while they whittle down over time.

Moral of the story is don't attack the Jews. Theyll win, and take your land. It has only happened six times in the last century. "Only".

  2205.  @billusher2265  Nothing false on what I have said.. The Palestinian Fedeyeen attacked Isreal literally a few days after Isreal was declared as a country with a ton of skirmishes. Then the Arabs did massive attacks in 1948. Then in 56. Then 67. Then 73. Then 82. 2006. Then 2023. Lost land all but what? One time? Boo hoo, don't attack other countries if you want to keep your land. Those are just the major wars. In throughout those have been Palestinian aggression even during peace talks. From taking hostages to outright murder. Then Hamas took over. Hamas who's mandate clearly states genocide. Oh no geez a government won't take an other one like that seriously. As bad as Isreal is. Palestianans are much worse. The only issue is how Isreal is stronger, and I am thankful for that, because it is the lesser of two evils. Palestinians even ruined Lebanon. Refugees went there, and caused it to become what it is today. There is no peace in the middle east with that sort of extremist Islam, because if they accomplished their genocide they'd only turn on each other. There is a reason why the greater middle east does not want Palestinian refugees, and aren't helping much.

  2211. I am suprised he didn't mention two other big deals. Mongols ripped a lot of the most powerful a new one. They didn't just conquer Baghdad. They obliterated it. Then moved on to slaughter other caliphates, because the Muslim world didn't band together like today. Then you had the Black Death. Crusades. Then you had Europeans wondering if we could sale around these guys we've been in a life and death struggle with. So the importance of the silk road diminished. Then Europe came ahead through the sheer wealth via exploration, and found sources of silver for Asia. All while Muslims remained Muslim. Europeans took the best from Muslims, and then went onto do bigger and better things. All these things including what is in the video. Today Muslims cannot get along each other with corrupt governments. Anyway Mongols with silk road losing its value I think had a lot to do with it.

  2217.  @diasflac0g  It is true we killed a lot of civilians. I just wish "well he did it and you do it"arguments were not so common as they just break down the fact no one should do it. I'd say the US puts more effort into mitigating civilian populations at cost, but I'm not on the ground of either war. We should also get better at punishing those who are a bit too gun ho. I think what bothers me is that there is no clear purpose outside of energy and warm water port. I think it's more Putin trying to leave a legacy of some great leader who made Russia strong, but he cannot admit that is his goal. Fucking if you're going to do something then own it Putin.

Hopefully Putin wakes up though as his gambit has spectacularly failed. Everytime Russia has an embarrassing defeat in some areas they launch volleys of dumb munitions at cities and that's like throwing a tantrum.

Not only did the western front take up huge amount of resources, but the US was giving MASSIVE amounts of war goods to Russia via UK. The amount of goods is astonishing considering the US was also bulking up the UK and fighting Japan. Then include the systematic destruction of German industrial capabilities via massive bombing raids that razed entire cities to the ground. Russia definitely did a good job and the majority of the work. Yet they had a ton of invaluable help from the west. Hitler's biggest mistake was starting war before silencing the UK. Then the second mistake was declaring war on the US in December. Also huge swathes of German military men fled to the west to surrender. Can't blame em.

All natural and organic can be just as bad as artifical if not worse... It all depends on exactly we are talking about but I'm tired of hearing that BS. Sustainable, eco friendly, etc can be done with help from artificial or man made chemical fertizliers, pesticides, vaccinats and gmos as well. Take the best from both worlds and use it. We need to be more efficient with what we use. Not using preservatives is insane too when so much food is already wasted5. There are ones that arent terrible either.

  2225. No you see that is what you call a scape goat. Some radicals called ISIS who killed mostly fellow Muslims used that as an excuse for their slaughter. Men who flat out stated they goals were to kill every non Muslim, and rule the world no less. No, the Middle East, Africa, and other countries are using history as an excuse for their own behavior. Why is the Falklands better off than Argentina? Why are so many ex colonies sometimes worse? People need to take responsibility for what they do TODAY, and work for a better tomorrow. Yet they don't... They steal, rape, and kill each other. Look at Africa now? Many Muslims are killing non Muslims or were. Some cultures are just worse off. Anyone who thinks the Ottoman Empire was somehow peaceful is insane too. They slaughtered and converted everything that didn't fight back. Some cultures are just more violent. What is even extra silly about the Middle East is that they should be the happiest, and richest mofos in the planet due to wealth from fossil fuels.

  2228. I have no pity for Palestinians anymore. I get the fued, and the cycle of hate. I get going to war and killing your enemy. All cultures surviving today have done so through blood and conquest. However this goes beyond war. What is the first thing they start doing when they captured cities? Start dragging corpses of people of all types. They start raping women, and then cutting off their limbs and dragging their corpses across the streets while recording EVERYTHING. They then take hostages of all people who aren't Palestinians, and will most likely murder them as well one by one on camera for the world to see. No I don't feel anymore pity for a culture that raises, feeds, houses, supports, and creates so many monsters... Decapitation of children... This isn't a one off or just a few, and I'm not 100% shocked it is even happening. Read that - happening - because they are still doing it. Isreal is not blameless. Yet they showed me the true colors of Palestine, and I no longer want to see those colors raised ever again. Palestine apparently would be a place of extreme hate and barbarism for anyone else who is not of their blood. There is no justification that can sway my stance. They have lost all pity from me.

  2233.  @oksowhat  That is assuming the terrain allows for 2km plus firing solutions. Personally I think tanks with active protection are going to be a thing. Just enough armor to withstand medium guns like 30mm-57mm AP and then active protection for the other types. I'm waiting for someone to create a Armored Fighting Vehicle that uses drones and missiles for indirect fire and good ranges while the tank has two 30mm guns that can shoot independently 180 degrees in front with a radar to kill both ground and air(drones). Swarms of cheap drones are going to be the future. So tanks are going to need to be able to take them out but I don't see any that can do so reliably. Drones can also be extremely quick and use terrain to get close as well and they are only going to get better with time.

At least before I could urinate and now I can't do that even if I drink too much I just became super ill and full all day and won't be able to eat at all. Wish I knew that drinking liquids stressed the kidneys a lot... I was like screw it ill just need a paracentesis a bit more so best to stay hydrated and drink this Chocolate Milk/Cranberry juice and take nourishment drinks. Whats ironic is a month before I was told my kidneys were doing great and BAM - Had an hepatic eencelopathy "attack" and was admitted for a week or two and when I got out I couldn't urinate anymore so I was back in two days later. Need a paracentesis every 8 days to get 5L out now. If they could just treat that I would be so grateful. Even tried looking up to participate in research trials to no avail.

  2239. Cheap bat like swarm drones are going to be the future. Imagine having 100 drones dropped from some bombs flying at ya loaded with a pound of explosives zipping through the air. These drones will have AI to fly like bats, navigate to a location, inside buildings or behind cover, and target you before making a kamikaze run. Nothing you'll be able to do when they get sent to your sector. Obviously AI needs to catch up, but I do know research for swarming has been going on for the last 15 years. They were using flying swarms for rescue effforts after an earthquake. Then you have their bigger brother that can seek, locate, and fire a few rounds. Before going back to a forward operating base. Anyway cheap 3d printed bat swarm drones will be a thing. I already seen a video of a racing drone used to do a kamikaze attack on some sentry system. It was incredibly fast.

And they STILL can't make it reliable - hence why it broke down during the parade. The electronics and such can be purchased by civilians! The active protection systems don't work as promised. Russia was buying shit from the west and now that it is cut off they screwed themselves as they don't have the capability or people to make it. China was going to purchase it and they said no this tank is garbage. It is a paper tank. Russias stealth fighter is a paper plane. Russia still doesn't have air dominance a year later even after a surprise attack that wiped out most of Ukarines Air Defense. I won't underestimate China for sure though. They took a hit with microchip bans but they'll catch up. They have enough people and are willing to pay for experts. Russia is just... I do not know what the hell Russia is doing but they should've put more investment into having their talented workers stay in Russia - the brain drain hit Russia hard and that is something you cannot simply buy. No one would leave their country to go to Russia for work unless they are desperate and Russian leaders would rather line their own pockets.

Then again the Sparkle looks awesome but some people seem to have issues with it. No c02 required and I already have citric acid around. I hear the bubbles aren't the same though? I really want to learn how to create my own ginger ale/beer. The tastes of some are SO close but lack something at the end. If only they were crisp and refreshing but still a little kick. It would hit all the tastes like Dr. Pepper but with ginger at the forefront.

  2247. I would to defend my home. Sadly nuke a city to save my loved ones if they were hostages. I would absolutely become suicidal, but defending the people I love is my priority in life after burying so many. I am a broken man. So defensive violence is where the only time I will do it

  2250. I seen an air rifle that was a laser beam. The tightest grouping I've ever seen at 50m and it freaken was firing hundreds of rounds per second. A decent amount of penetration. Enough to make you Swiss cheese. It was insane! Quiet too... Just utter mayhem. I want to say it was like a .308 sized round but that sounds too big and I might be getting confused with an other crazy one. I want one haha.

  2251. I've seen the Triangle one in Groton CT back in like 2008. Which is a military area with a few other high industry places. It was night time but I saw the three lights. It was just hovering, but I saw the silhouette and told him to stop. We both looked at it like WTF?! I told him to shut the car off because there was no sound and we got out of the car and it stayed in place for I don't know 30 seconds and then accelerated instantly and took an instant right over the horizon. The acceleration speed and silence is what gets me. it went off north and 90 degrees went east over the horizon in seconds. I'm not saying it is aliens. Just a WTF moment for both of us. I'm a skeptic.

  2252. All these excuses. "Hormonal". Sure there are some people with it. I bet the portion of people who actually have basically a disease causing them to gain weight is few. Sure hormonal as in people with depression eat more. That is a mental issue, and not a physical. Calories in. Calories out. It is that simple. You're eating too much if you are over weight. Probably not too much either, but enough. I think it is generally just a large soda, or 200 calories. I have weight issues myself. I need to gain weight or else I will be dead soon. Doctors are shocked I'm even still walking. So I get annoyed when people say, "just eat more" myself when my body literally rejects food. It is slightly different yet annoying non the less. What I'm saying is it isn't easy. Stop making excuses. You literally don't need to go to the gym to exercise. You need to stop eating as much. Count your calories. Cut out soda with tons of carbs. Eat some protein with your meal or full dairy fat as they will make you feel fuller for longer.

  2253.  @webbsurfer  No. While my problem is physical. I was saying I get it why people getting annoyed when people just say "OH just eat less!" If it were easy no one would be fat. But really. You gotta eat less instead of making excuses. I see it all the time with some. Just like I need to eat more, and gain weight, or I'm a dead man. Which I do, and have been to the best of my ability. It sucks. If I force it too much I puke. My portions are tiny and I struggle to finish them. I wish I could just pop a pill or something. Yet I continue to do it anyway, bite by bite. I wish some of ya fatties could give me some of their fat. Or appetite! You can do it people. If I can gain weight. You can lose weight. It isn't easy, but all the people I've met who lost their weight are so proud of themselves. You'll feel much better when you do.

  2254.  @butspan7618  Less complicated? You ever see a print out of a contra rotating coaxial pusher helicopter?! I seen a diagram of a Russian one and it was complex even though it wasn't the whole assembly. Even though it's rigid rotor I hear the Defiant uses some special suspension because the rotors were shaking the thing apart. Well something along the lines of that. Lockheed says the Valor is much simpler maintenance wise compared to the Osprey but I'll take their words with a grain of salt. Fact is tilt rotors have the similar safety records as other rotory aircraft and the media and politicians used the Osprey for their agendas. I'll concede it was an expensive project and the cost of lives per crash was large, but it is an amazing heavy lift transport that basically outperforms anything else. Just uh it has a tendency to destroy landing pads, lawns, decks and set things on fire.

  2255.  @8bert9  Such a stupid place to build a FAB. I get it tax incentives and blah blah, but the amount of ultra clean fresh water per day to run a FAB is insane!

  2256. Also ASLM who creates the EUV machines that TSMC uses. They are from the Netherlands. They are all key to it. Also some mirror manufacturer as well. I wish there were videos on these specialized companies. Especially for military weapons. Learned that Russia purchases a LOT of small components that they cannot reproduce or was just easier to purchase from the west for their weapons. Like how many companies are involved in the F 35.

  2259. ​ @robertpatrick3350 No one talks about war of 1812, and I grew up in New England. It was like a tiiiiiny chapter in my history books, and my High School Class was 2004. So unless it has changed then it is very insignificant as far as history on a war goes. Same with the war against the Spanish. Basically both were footnotes. Even though I am a history nerd I dont mind. I would rather them focus on more important history anyway. For example when did we go from arch enemies to allies with the British.

  2260. I think most detractors are in denial, or ignorant. I don't think they realize how fast things are moving on the EV or even grid scale. People talking how Green energy cannot replace base line energy due to frequency shocks to systems or something like that along with peaker plants. I am pretty sure that is inherently untrue that we do not have the capabilities to over come all of that with current technology. What makes me mad is that EVs are superior on 99% of roads performance wise. You not be going 250mph. Although most EVs seem to have limiters at 130mph. That is a willful choice, and not a technological restraint. Wait till Axial Flux motors befome more common with power to weight ratioe only other fuels like nitrous can match. Then the performance of batteries across the board, along with the cost. Drops year after year. What was it? 10% at least? We could have a generational leap in battery storage if we unlock lithium air batteries. With just 50% of the therotical limit we could have batteries with 20 times plus the power density of a Model 3 battery. They sit at around 12,300 kw/kg! I think Kerosene is in the low 13,000s! Future is wild and I am looking forward to it. I want to see 1,500 kw/kg batteries before I die so new chemistries need to happen.

  2261. 40 to 80k and hey you don't own the battery! Yeah I will pass. Sorry I would rather take care of the battery pack myself then. Like buying an ICE without an engine.

  2262. I thought the most powerful rocket was that ungodly rocket using flourine, hydrogen, and lithium. It was so dangerous even the military during the COLD WAR when they were legitimately insane said nope to it. So dangerous that we'd rather go nuclear hah. Anywho so this video is interesting too. Why is this overlooked. Solid propellants always were cool to me. I always wondered why we couldn't just turn the fuel into a fine powder for throttle control. Like my friend said when I first smoked weed from a bowl. "You don't gotta burn it all."

  2263. ​ @arnegraphics3380  the 6.8 is a good round. Also he isn't using the new ammo they military has and civilians cannot get. Higher pressure for one but keep finding different stats on it which might be the reason why it is heavier. Remember it was a weapon system that was being developed. Not just the gun. They also wanted to future proof it. Personally I liked the GD. Since I'm not use to m4s and such the bullpup doesn't bother me at all. In fact I can aquire targets dastrr and hold my aim longer since the weight is closer to my shoulder. I prefer the balance and since I'm not doing wild wild west quick draws or John Wick style shooting that 1 second slower reload(at most) isn't that big of a deal.

  2264. You said a lot with saying very little but the video was entertaining. We get it they ate the same groups of foods as we did but it was varied. Mostly the staple grains which we did know. You didnt say what specific or even what time of year! A winter diet for instance was probably a lot less varied as they would be eating fermented foods and salted meats. How did European peasants like to spice up their food without the spices from the new world or asia! No sugar for sweeteners! You have a lot of potential - nearly professional - but again try to find some details... I know for instance they did have bitter oranges and lemons/citron! (Cheaper down in South Europe obviously). Imagine Ireland with no potatoes or Italy with tomatoes!

  2265.  @ComotoseOnAnime  Yeah I was thinking of a scroll myself. However it would also have to be able to stay rigid at any length, and be touch screen. While I like having buttons, especially customizable, and such. I don't want to be navigating the device with a joystick or touch pad so it would have to be a touch screen for me. But yeah I wouldn't mind having even a rod in my pocket that could unfold into a phone, tablet, or longer even. I think I'd break the damn thing though by flipping it in the air as I'm doing nothing. I guarantee you the "stay rigid" part would be the hardest aspect of it. I think we have flexible screens already.

  2266. Didn't they scratch that? Now working with the US to make nuclear subs? I'm two years from the future BTW.

Something as simple as getting more ammo seems like a nightmare.

  2267. I personally think if you cannot assimilate to your country you should not move there. It is that simple. If I moved to China I would learn Mandarin. Not all people fit in. It is okay to not want those people. Luckily the world is big. It is ridiculous for ANY country to have open borders to begin with. America gets a lot of flak for immigration when it is the rated the best. We get flak, because people live in bubbles, and never had to deal with a bunch of immigrants. I'm all for immigration. After a vetting process. The smart, educated, and those with skills can come since there is no way to vet "good hard working people." Everyone else go make your own communities, and improve them. Instead of trying to bleed others.

  2268. Chinas issue is they keep pushing and everyone is going to eventually get fed up. No one wants to go to China either. There is no incentive to raise a family there and they have the audacity to project their prejudices on places like the West saying "You will never have blonde hair or blue eyes." Oh they are right, but they fail to realize that is actually OKAY. We don't want you to have blue hair or blue eyes. Secondly I would say 80% of the population actually does not. I use to think the West was terrible. Yet having China or more specifically the CCP and Xi as the leading world power scares me more. I usually like to see countries to succeed but I would like the CCP to burn.

  2269. Yeah the most capabilities my arse. Edit - Anyway maybe Russia can actually defeat Not even close. I'm pretty sure both China and the US have been able to link systems for a while now. They wouldn't need this if they had an actual modern fifth generation fighters. Now would they? Anyway maybe they can actually do something, because they have made themselves a joke. They also don't have many of those planes. Ukraine has already knocked a few out. As for experience. You do know you actually have to survive to have experience? There have been many reports that one of the reasons they've done so poorly is due to the lack of it. They keep sending their most experienced off the to be slaughtered. Edit - Anyway it is a good idea for them since their Air Force is non existent. If five airplanes is true - wonder what what the hell Ukraine is flying, and where they were shot down at.
    1
  2270. ​ @louisbabycos106 Ukraine admits 24 aircraft lost. Almost all of them decoys. Which probably leaves a handful that were not. Wonder what aircraft, and where. Surely some evidence will show up. Russia has repeatedly lied about what they've accomplished. Like saying they shot down 70 Frogfoot SU 25s... Ukraine never had that many to begin with. Then Russia has repeatedly hit decoys then went on and on about taking them out. Like HIMARS and Patriots. Either way what surprises me is that it took this long for them to be even semi effective at countering effin Ukraine.

  2275.  @littlesaints91  I've heard the ATV4 can disable modern tanks but not destroy them. Like tracking a tank, or taking out sensors. Speaking of sensors - how armored are they?! Can machine gun take them out? A 50 caliber? HE? Blinding a tank when you don't have an other choice seems like a good idea.

  2276. When they say total cost does that mean one missile or does it include the command unit? (For the Javelin.) Anyway the Javelin wins due to the command unit being able to be used to scout. I wonder if it has a mode where it just turns on the infrared to save power. When are we going to start using rechargeable batteries as well. All vehicles should have a USB slot and all equipment should be able to recharge by it. I always hear how infantry complain about lack of disposable batteries.
    1
  2277.  @MrJdsenior  I kind of looked into it. We are now using recharable batteries. Hopefully they add in USB slots on vehicles and still allow you to switch them when you need it ASAP. Maybe give those survivor manual recharging devices.

  2278. @mohdaamir8136  They get 100 to America's 180 hours, and they are missing one huge factor. They don't get to train against other countries with great pilots. Russias flight hours are even worse, and the quality of their airforce shows the lack of training in Ukraine. I'll try to find the article stating from a NATO pilot who was there. Been a while. Do you really think it is as simple as sending some fighters to go and destroy something as valuable as a tanker or AWACs. You act like they would be flying solo? The US knows how vulnerable those craft are. I seriously doubt China is on par with their EW capabilities. Yet the capabilities of both are classified. As for allies... BRICS is a joke. What is Brazil, South Africa, or Iran going to do? What are any countries off the strait of hormuz going to do. India would gladly sit back, and watch China get choked due to its hubris. The world would not stop the west from defending the sovereignty of Taiwan. That or a war with India is the only way the US or the west would be at war with China. Russia can't even keep their Navy together against Ukraine, and wouldn't dare back China against NATO when they are struggling on their doorstep. That last part is a real joke. BRiCs is a joke. Like Russia or China would really give up monetary sovereignty. Brazil and South Africa, and Iran are weak. With South Africa barely keeping their lights on.

  2279. Sure, but the fact more and more companies are doing it, and more research is being invested says something. I was told one issue with photonics QC are that they can't be programmed really. The hardware makes the program. I wonder if that is true, and if there are ways around it. Think I got that from the salty, but down to earth German scientist named Sabine... Hamburger. Heinz ketch up. Something with an H. The one with the channel.

  2280. There is a company trying to use flywheels as a storage. It is an insane feat of engineering. Think it runs in a vacuum rotating at insane RPM. Flywheels for fluctuations with batteries plus super capacitors will be the future. It won't be one technology most likely for a while. There is a company that is working on the frequency or fluctuations I think with battery and super capacitor technology. It won't be the main storage. Just help the baseline or something like that. I mean why we don't do nuclear for baseline then decentralize the grid with renewables is beyond me.

The information sounds pretty decent, but I am not sure. I am just as weary as pro Chinese bots as I am as haters. I like and want neutral information. When I was younger I use to think the West and America was terrible, and the worse. Then I realized, holy hell would the world be so much worse if governments like the CCP or Russia reigned supreme. I don't need the channel telling me the CCP is evil or corrupt. Just tell us the truth, and let us decide or else we are no better.

  2285. American, and western doctrine relies on air power for one. They don't have the man power nor equipment to risk divisions to fight like we can. I don't think people really grasp how big Russias military is, and they aren't even at total war status. America would never send troops at those minefields for one. They'd be going around whatever country if they had to. They'd be attacking Russia on their own turf, taking out their factories, power, and bridges. They would be threatening Marine landings for sure whether it is from the North Sea, Baltic, or freaken Siberia. I sort of wish Ukraine did attempt a division north hook. Going into Russia from.the North around the main defensive lines, and then back down to secure a place.

  2286. That sounds like a good idea. That way you can brown both and have crispy pizza. Thick pizza taste better left over because you can also make it crispy.

  2287. Feel like you could just copyfeit it without a huge amount of effort. Think about the extreme effort people today go into copyfeit twenties or one hundred dollar bills. Hell you have governments supporting them due to the effort. So if people do it today? Ya know damn well there were operations going. Need a seal from Julius Ceaser? No... Don't be stupid, because he isn't sealing your taxes or how much property you have in the outskirts of Rome. The govoner of a minor city? Go seek. Seek. Antonius the "jewel cutter", down in Antioch. He has you covered for a decent amount of denari. Can do every legal seal, and can forge you a new identity. I mean I bet the punishment was severe, but just saying I feel like they could have made it harder then just crafting pictures in stone or clay.

  2292. ​ @RandomForestGump  I know what you mean... Yet sometimes people need a slap of reality. I am seeing overblown expectations that even my layman mind knows is wrong, because I think some want funding. So the researchers have to play a game of manipulation in order to get it. Sort of like how channels use click bait to get attention, because it works! Especially versus being honest. I'm sure there are a few downright fraudulent companies running amok. Raising expectations so high always has a backlash. I expect it both for AI and Quantum computers. Yet! I hope I am dead wrong. There are a lot of promising theories and technologies in their infancy. I just think timeliness are off. Photonic computing, and eventually quantum photonic computing looks great if we can get it to work as some way it will.

  2296. We've known how to shield tanks, other vehicles for a long time now. This will only work against non shielded drones. So most consumer drones. People will learn how to shield them as well. It will make drones more expensive, and heavier at least. So less range.

  2297. They need active defense. First a trophy like system. Yet what I wish the army would focus on is a Point Defense System slaved to your primary or seconary cannon. Imagine if a helicopter had their turret able to automatically react in half a seconds to shoot down missiles. Ever watch The Expanse? It would be like those PDFs. They could be made for vehicles and aircraft alike. They would also naturally be able to deal with other air threats like drones or other helicopters. So basically an automated turret quick enough to shoot down missiles.

  2298. I'm not a defender of Starlink... I mean I could care less if amateurs complain they can't see the sky while polluting the night sky themselves for me. However when you think about it. How is Starlink any worse than cable internet!? Like we've millions of miles of earth, knocked down trees, ripped up plants for placing cable. Let alone all the cables slung across the sea floor. So I feel like that is a little bias. I mean Simon should just do a megaproject video on fibre optic cables period. It would be a cool video to comprehend how wired we really are these days and will continue to become as we need more and more data per person.

Why would any country trust America with their economies after Trump literally screwing over everyone, and going back on deals. Trump siding with weak ass Russia for no deal at all. Russia is the one trying to destroy the dollar being the world standard. What is next. Golf with Xi to sell for Taiwan for nothing too? Republicans have gone full retard. Remember those old tabloid newspapers with crazy things like "proof bat boy exist" showing a vampire kid in black and white? Trump and Republicans were the type to pick up those up in line at the grocery store during the 90s, and think it is real. LoL. Gone full retard like I said.

  2306. Also one thing rarely mentioned. An other problem with China is not many want to move there on their own accord. Whether people like it or not. America benefits immensely from immigration both for low skill workers, and for educated talent. Everyone knows how immigrants take jobs Americans are not willing to do. Yet many people who are incredibly smart move to America simply due to how much jobs pay. Even many Europeans will move here due to lower living wages, and taxes. Americans are also having less, and less kids. Yet we make up that with immigration. Anyway China is a lot more racist, and xenophobic. If people think America is extremely racist they have never left the country.

  2307. I've seen a black triangle UFO with my friend in Groton CT. We were driving at night and saw it, and I was like what is that. We stopped looking for my wallet and there it was above us just hovering. It had a light in the middle and I could see the shilloutte against the night sky. Which is weird because that either meant it was extremely large since I could see the shape of it, but that meant it was also super quiet. Helicopters are loud AF and planes don't hover for a few a minute and this thing was just hovering over us for a few minutes. Then it accelerated instantly north wnd was almost over the horizon in seconds and banked east towards the ocean. No pilot could survive Gs like that. I don't know what it was and I wish cellphones had good cameras back then. (This was before Iphones). The light reminded of someone shining a light through a red marble. It was in the middle. I don't know what it was but I know I wasn't crazy. Nothing I know is that silent, and fast.

One I only knew of him for being exiled from Hollywood. He fooled me and I lived in a fucking black neighborhood and mixed race. He played the part of a black hard as nails person perfectly. He also looked so creepy when they showed him in earlier roles. So when the credits rolled I was like WTF?! Tom Cruise also killed it. TT is one of my favorite movies of all Europe. Make a sequel already in the middle east or eastern Europe.

  2312. This is crazy. I've been obsessed with Series Hybrids - hybrids where the ICE is just a generator for the last month. EVs suck in one majior way. Weight! I mean batteries are heavy, and not good enough to build a light car. With this you get the benefits of the EV with the instant insane torque, light as hell reliable motor, but have the range of an ICE. What engine though would be the best? I kept seeing new engine designs from the Omega, Aquarius, to the Liquid Piston rotrary which promise tons of HP in a small package... That is when I remembered turbines are the best generators as far as I know. I even asked on Reddit why series hybrids aren't more common. Anyway a few weeks later I find out this, and one other company have already tried! Ariel however is well known for an insanely fast, light, sports car which is exactly what I was thinking this type of set up would just be perfect for until batteries can become better. Anyway awesome job, and I hope they work on it more. I hope more car companies take their hand at it as I'm not sure how good Ariel is at either EVs or Turbines. Anyway my first thought was... A rotrary would be great for a series hybrid. Mazda should go all in. They have with their MX 5 concept, but I'm not sure if it has insane performance like I was hoping for. Turbines are loud as hell, haha. Not exactly something you want to daily drive.

  2313. The more I hear about the guy behind McLaren, and the owner of Koensieg? The more I like them. I don't know much about Pagani outside of them being fast. Ferrari? I use to like them over Lambo, but once I found out just how... Pretentious and snobby they are? Nah, even if I was a billionaire I wouldn't get one just because of their antics. I hear they suck as far as maintenence goes, and even feel cheap on some things.

  2314.  @thorwaldjohanson2526  That was one video I did watch. I want to learn more though! He gave a slick break down for sure. Dude is a wealth of information. Know any other channels like him or like Harris? I'm sick and so have a LOT of free time and burning through subjects and content. I found one channel that that seemed informative but required knowledge before hand as I was googlibg terms left and right and then had to Google those terms haha.

  2315.  @thorwaldjohanson2526  Honestly dude I'll watch a documentary on everything. Engineering in general is my favorite from weapons go civil everyday items. Science, history, geo politics. Sometimes even Geography and how it plays into wealth, politics and such. Still trying to figure out how many manufacturers are involved in the making of an F 35 and what components are made by specialists companies that cannot be replicated. Mirrors for instance is a big one for optics. How some sensors work. Hard to find information. Also tools that make the tools. Who designs the factories and are all the machines in them unique. Especially for large assembly plants.

  2316. Electric vehicles will break this cycle. Someone somewhere will make one, and you can't get much simpler than an EV. He is just explaining a street legal go kart. Can't get much simpler! Put some windows on it and tada. And the funny part about them. They are STILL relatively expensive!

  2317. I'll never understand how people get up in arms when a company foreign or native successfully takes a product and create demand for it. If anyone could do it there wouldn't be marketers and marketing or brand recongiztion isn't easy. Now when said companies either destroy the land or create monopolies among other screwed up practices like not paying for injuries on the job or knowing health risks without explaining. Yes those people should be punished severely.

  2319. No. Go buy one of the quadrillon jeep looking Jeep vehicles that have been produced for a century. Maybe Jeep will sell more, because not everyone cares about the traditional look. Nothing wrong for different models to look different. That goes for every car. Finally they know what is up. A vehicle with appropiate horse power, AND instant torque than those weak ass ICE. 300 miles. Yikes. 2025. America needs to catch up. Can't beleive China is winning.

  2321. I hate cooking. I hate cooking shows. Yet I'm dying and my taste buds are going, and I like completely different things. I've been binging his videos trying to find ideas of what to use and why to use it. Almost gone through most. One good thing as I have vastly improved my eating. Sadly I can't use alcohol which sucks! I had a positive on a drug test for it and my mom cooked the shit out of it each time we had it. My favorite meals use it and I need to gain weight.

  2322. Whoa I knew we had the capability to do so. Never knew we did it that early though. Thanks! Thought the one with the AEGIS was the first, but maybe just the first of it's kind. Thought we (US) were going to test a new ASAT or that we shot down one in the past two years. I don't know but I guess it was just some satelite company guy tell America to stop doing it even though we did it twice... I might not when of how it will start but I bet money during WW3 will see military satelites getting destroyed and fucking things up for generations.

  2323. In need of transplants and found out last year so I had to change my diet 180 and gain a lot of weight. I thought veggies were like amazing.... damn things have like no calories in them! I have troubles eating and you have to eat a ridiculous amount of veggies to get a good amount! It's insane. My whole life I thought spinach and such were packing. Sure veggies have a lot vitamins and minerals but like NO MACRO! I really need to like Avacados though. Other fatty acid foods. Fats have 7-9 per gram. Also start eating olives.

  2325.  @sleepyjoe4529  We are better to the environment - now - though, and put more money per capita into cleaning up. As the average person gets richer in China the carbon foot print wil continue to rise and the question is how responsible will they be on the road to get there. I can't blame a Chinese person for wanting a house, a vehicle, and luxury either. China has literally obliterated their native wildlife and huge swaths of land are toxic. Ever see a video on why China doesn't have birds relative to other nations? Especially in the cities? It blew my mind. The endangered animal thing for holistic medicines needs to stop along with the scale of fishing without regards to international law. And I don't just blame China for this shit. All goverments need to be better, and we need to be efficient with what we have left.

  2326. Cheap housing doesn't have game changing repercussion. Nor does it have the potential to make trillions. There that is your answer. When I look outside I don't see data centers being made. I see houses coast to coast, and new developments being created. Just not cheap ones. Also tech companies are not responsible for your housing. Do you all hear yourselves? This reminds me of Mexicans blaming Coca Cola, because their government can't give them clean drinking water. "Why is this Coke safe to drink. But the tap water? Gives me the runs every time! Hombre dis Loco!" AI has geo political, economical, and life changing consequences. Uncle Sam wants America be the first to make AGI.

  2327.  @LRRPFco52  This is why it's important to maintain our specialized manufacturers. It might be more expensive but I think in the long term it's better to have your defense industry be able to produce most of the components in any given system. The fact Russia needs western components for their systems is a huge handicap. Not sure what's happening with the Australian sub, but hoping they do make sure most of it is built in AUS while working with the US and UK. Even if if will have teething issues. I feel like too many manufacturers from too many different countries work on the F 35. I'm not sure which ones are irreplaceable though. Its like the relationship between Carl Zeizz, ASLM, and TSCM. Take away one and the other is nigh useless.
    1
  2328.  @LRRPFco52  Yeah its a shame. What's really weird about military manufacturing is once they are done building it the specialized equipment just like... Gets scraped and sold or whatever. It vanishes. People say we cannot recreate the B1-B today due to the special processes and equipment to create the wing joints. For one I call bullshit. We just don't want to spend money on it. I bet we could make a better version in fact with all the advances in metallurgy, engineering, and manufacturing. At least to keep our current fleet of 45 for a bit. I hear that the AF is waiting for hypersonic engines before they try an other low level, fast, penetration bomber. Anyway you would think we would save such highly advanced equipment in a warehouse, and save the knowledge from these programs. Sure it will cost money but look at us trying to scramble to get the sixth generation fighter into service. I am happy that this project seems to be focused and doesn't have politicians and shit demanding it to be the master of all which is what plagued the F 35. The goal posts kept moving and it is ridiculous to think that there is a plane that can fill each services needs. Just a random rant sorry. I do want to see the marines get a dedicated STOL ground attack craft. Something that is rugged, long loitering times, and cheap to produce and easy to maintain, STOL and packs one hell of a punch. I'm not even sure if they'll get a marine Valor even though that would be perfect for them.

  2329.  @LRRPFco52  Traitor proof. Just gotta make sure our projects are also leak proof. Crazy how many security breaches there have been. We only hear about it once they find out there was an issue. Ideally you want to steal information without anyone the wiser.

  2330. I think they are forgetting cultue has a huge impact as well. South Korea, and Japan are a great example of countries just exploding due to their culture drive, and hitting above their weight. Same with Singapore. Almost like they had a singular purpose. Japan, during the 80s or 90s was killing it economically. America even feared they'd take the number 1 spot! China is a great example of a turn around as their government kept it down for so long. Then you look at Africa, and all the culture clashes as in tribal warfare, or corruption. They can't get along for a moment to set aside their differences, and I for one don't blame colonization anymore for it. I think they were colonized BECAUSE they couldn't put aside their differences, nor invest the wealth they do have. So many countries in Africa became wealthy due to the slave trade too, and none of them reinvested that wealth when the industrial revolution came around. I'm not really sure what is going on with South America. I suppose corruption. Brazil and Argentina should be power houses. Also in the 21st century you really don't need to grow a staple crop to succeed. Yet yeah, add in brain drain to that equation as well. Anyway stability is the number one thing a country needs to succeed.

  2333. ​ @Rob-y9p Ask yourself how isn't Russia a threat? Russia never stopped being warlike. It went to war with Chechnya, then Georgia, and then Ukraine. It interfered with all their politics. Then you say it was justified to get the port, and other areas? You probably think Ukraine was forced into NATO, and Russia had every right to attack it. Gee I wonder why so many have joined NATO! Probably has to do with the fact Russia is constantly trying to grow, either through manipulation or outright invading for BS purposes. Russia is just an oil company masquerading as a nation. They need to stay in their lane. Glad Europe is getting its shyte together, and making Putin suffer. Make no mistake. Putin did this for his legacy. He wanted to bring back Russia as a power house, to go down in history books like Peter the Great. Now he's just Poutin Putin, always threatening Nukes if Ukraine is allowed to actually fight back into Russia like the little bitch he is.

  2336. Yeah alcohol and the withdrawals aren't a joke. Your poor friend. I'm sorry. Alcohol killed me in 4 years of heavy drinking. I started getting hepatic encelopathy about six months before I finally went into quit on May 2022. At the time I didn't know what it was. Thought I was having a seizure. Yet the doctors at the ER kept saying I only drank too much, because they don't listen. As an alcoholic you tend to get pretty good at knowing what you need to function versus getting hammered. Anyway when I quit. My body crashed and I was in the hospital all of 2022. Lost my kidneys after a three day coma. Kept getting life threatening infections. Was lower than 85 pounds. No one thought I'd make it, including myself, but I just kept waking up doing what I could do. Now I'm stabilized on the transplant list. Still feel like total garbage, and limited physically, but I really did do a miraculous turn around. I'll take that. Anyway doctors can suck. The fact they weren't listening to me, and the symptoms were so obvious is astounding. If they told me I was getting hepatic encelopathy I would have sped up my timeline to quit. I kept pushing it back thinking it what is a year - takes 20 years of heavy drinking before end stage cirhossis. Oh boy I was dead wrong. Quit ahead while you can folks who are drinking.

  2339. I was considered as good as dead in 2022 when I went to go quit drinking for about 4 years. Before then I drank a handful times a year. I went from drinking wine as a server with guests. To a glass of wine to be better at my job, to a glass sleeping. Or when stressed. That placed closed. So then I eventually switched to a shot of vodka. Covid hit while I worked at a pharmacy, and I got supet sick from that. No gloves or mask! Anyway eventually had enough went to quit. Was sent from the detox to the ER where I was told I had basically days or a week max to live. After a year of being in the hospital I got out. Can't beleive I celebrated 2025. I was a functional alcoholic till about the last year. Mind you I did drink a lot for my body weight by the end with a liter of vodka a day chasing it with box wine. Drinking isnt worth it. I generally beleived I only had some damage, and I could drink for twenty years as I've known many alcoholics. I use to hate doctors. Now it is a full time job seeing em. All the symptoms I self medicated for are worse with many new ones. My liver disease caused my kidneys to fail. My organ failure is putting stess on my cardiovascular. I cannot work due to issues like dangerous blood pressure. I do not urinate. I do not like food, and it is a struggle to eat. Most of all I am like an eldery patient now, and broke. Dying is expensive. I am useless to others, and still need help sometimes. With that said I am greatful to be alive even if it is a pathetic existence. I didnt care when the doctors told me the news. I rolled with. Yet seeing my mom get the news that day will forever scar me for being such a selfish prik. Could not even hug her saying it would be alright. Heck for the longest time I was too weak to get on a transplant list. Doctors have no idea why I am alive. I am exceedingly told it was rare for anyone to survive, and somehow improve. Listen to me. There are better ways. Alcohol is not the cause of your problems. It is your off the shelf treatment to deal with your problems. Find a doctor or help that can guide you. You really gotta search. Lots of bad ones, but finding good ones is life changing. I use to think I was the healthiest as I worked the hardest, and longest. Nah, I worked my body into the ground.

  2340. It takes time and throwing money at a problem won't solve it. I'm always shocked that the German military is ranked below the UKs. France has a good history of fighting across the world in hot spots so I expect their military to rank better but Germany is the EU economic powerhouse. One thing I saw European soldiers talking about is how impressed they are with American logistics. They said that is the key thing they need to work on, and just little things like trucks and such. Anyway I'm glad many countries are going to stop relying on the US. I hope US and EU relations stay strong for sure, but it would be nice to know that the burden of keeping the west dominate isn't just on our backs with China and Russian tensions rising so quickly. German equipment is really held in high esteem. Yet this past year I've been hearing bad things about the Puma and Leopard. I was hoping the US would adopt the Puma but I think we are going with an other home made stinker. For whatever reason we can't make good ground vehicles.

  2341. ​ @anhedonia420 Three days is nothing for some people. I've gone almosy six days due to severe insomnia. I will admit I don't know when it starts but you do and can do whats called microsleep which is counted in seconds to a few minutea. Like I would look awake but nobodies home. Only way I realized I was doing this is as someone else noticed me just blank out for a few minutes mid conversation and pick right back up like nothing happened haha. Insomnia is no joke. Start to see shit. Weirdly energy drinks will make me tired if I drink a good amount of them. Early today I watched a video about Doc here. He says energy drinks cured his insomnia because he found out he would only sleep. It was the extra vitamins in the energy drink. I wonder if that's why I don't have insomnia now. Dietary and life changes. Insomnia is torture and really messes you up.. Anyway coffee for 3 days? Yeah that is nothing. Personally if I drink coffee once a day it will perk me up but the second and third just make me feel more sluggish. Also you can study all you want guys. What matters is if you actually retain the information and you need sleep to do that. Sometimes it is better to go to bed instead of forcing yourself to magically stuff all that information in your head. Lack of sleep will make it harder to recall things you do know. Even an hour is still rest even though it sucks getting up exhausted.

  2345. America didn't miscalculate. America was warning Europe to step up since Obama. Ukraine wanted to join NATO after getting rid of their Russian puppet. Russia has no say in what other countries do . I would argue Russia clearly is the one who wasn't paying attention. What is hilarious is we now know China isn't their ally. They are literally milking Russia hard, because Russia has no leverage to make any type of demands. They played their cards building their half of the pipeline showing desperation. This war is about Putins legacy. About making him a great leader who brought back Russian supremacy. Instead he made NATO so much stronger, and woke the West up. America gets to bleed Russia with out dated weapons. China and Russia are hilarious. They act like America is pulling all the strings when the reality is their actions push countries to Americas interests which is the lesser evil, and only other country that can stand up to them. Crazy that they don't get that. They don't want to deal with America either, but the choice is easy.

  2346. Why do you fools always bring up NATO? I'm so sick of this petty excuse. Putin wanted to bring back the glory of Russia as a powerful nation who could stand against the West and supplant it. He did it for his legacy . NATO was fine being at peace. It was declining in power. No one in their right mind would invade Russia who has nuclear weapons. No one wanted any part of Russia. You know why Ukraine wanted to join NATO? Because it was afraid Russia would invade anyway. And guess what they did even when they had a Ukranian puppet? Invade in 2014. That gave them their warm water port. Yet they weren't happy. Ukraine wasn't. Yet NATO still ignored it and wanted PEACE. They wanted cheap Russian resources and were fine with the situation. So Ukraine said they wanted to join. Because everyone close to Russia knew the Russian government would want more and more! And viola... We have war. There wasn't a single sign that NATO would invade Russia anywhere. We can't govern the world based on delusions. There was simply no justification for Russia to invade, and that is why 90% of the world's countries disagree

  2347. Screw the dealers. Wish we could get rid of them. We can't and won't. They are responsible for too many jobs. As for Fords EVs? Car makers thought they could just make an EV without giving it anything special outside it is an EV. They need to be better than Tesla. Offer free charging, and make charging networks. It is ridiculous. They have the cash yet they somehow are still stuck in the past. They do have their foot in the door. So I tip my hat. Unlike Toyota who pushed out a terrible vehicle just to shut people up. Think they are going hybrid. God forbid companies go for hydrogen. If hydrogen was going to work it should have been happening NOW. Batteries are just only going to get better. Hydrogen has physical limitations.

It depends on the opponent. I have a feeling it would be total war, and not like the US in Iraq or Afghanistan with Rules of Engagement on American soil. People would just slaughter each other without mercy. Either way nukes would bring to bare. IMO all three of the great powers will be turned by political upheavals. Globalization changed us.

  2356. Yup. People are in denial. Same here in America. Half of "children" guns deaths is actually gang bangers shooting each other. Blacks if you didn't know. Take out black crime? And the statistics are ridiculous with how much they improve. It is sad to me. I grew up in minority neighborhoods. Almost became a gang banger myself. I've got "brothers" who would ride of die with me. Well I did. It is sad as IMO it is the culture itsselt that is toxic as hell, and even attempting to talk about it flags you a racist. Yet after personally living the crime and violence? I wish I could just teleport these white knight mofos who live in nice suburbs who call everyone else a racist into the neighborhoods I grew up in. They'll see how toxic the culture is. It is even worse now in the 15 years I've been away. People shoot for less basically.

  2357. ​ @ValMartinIreland If everyone switched to cars tomorrow in America. It would draw the same power as everyone who has an AC turning it on for four extra hours. Basically a 30% increase. Which isn't a small number, but not as bad as people think. Yet everyone isn't going to switch tomorrow are they? Solar and wind are now cheaper than all other ways for power without subsides. Powering a car through the grid is more efficient. Now the only issue is that local grids will need to be beefed up. Our grid needs an overhaul anyway. There are many battery technologies in the work that will hold more power, be cheaper, charge faster. EV is the future. Just makes sense.

  2358. We take it for granted but salt was insanely important/is essential especially before refridgeratoon. It was worth it's weight in gold, literally. People were paid in salt hence the phrase "not worth his salt." Someone figured it out by probably tasting or seeing it and put two and two together. Edit it's Potassium chloride BTW which is insane tasting. I have have had to take it due to low potassium and Jesus it's like crack haha. It's ironic as I have liver and kidney failure and have to be careful. Trust me the stuff is strong.

  2359.  @paulwary  So a few things. One obvious thing is low cost batteries. The technology for energy storage is improving so rapidly. So many different choices are coming out that I can't even keep up. From salt water redox to just all the different lithium chemistries. Also just because it is decentralized doesn't mean each system will be in total isolation. It just means less reliance on huge mega plants. We will still be connected. In fact I was just watching a video on this about Tony Sebas predictions on the future. He has been pretty accurate with a lot of them since at least 2013. Yet he was saying something like we will be over producing at such capacity due to renewables becoming cheaper that we will need just 5 days of storage to totally get off of everything. Something like that Remember solar still produces even on cloudy weather. Now I have to rewatch the video, and look into the time line. Yet that would be wild if true. Basically the future of producing energy isn't the problem. Storing it will be the costlier part, but it will still be significantly cheaper. I'm not sold yet. I still think nuclear is important for baseload or geothermal. Yet both of them are so expensive ATM that I am not sure if they will ever get the attention that they deserve. I'll say this. Hydrogen is never going to happen outside of niche.

Never understood them as they are just 120mm and don't have the range of a standard SPG or direct fire capabilities of a tank. Anyway never knew they carried more boom per mm with less charge. Kind of makes sense now that I think about it. Feel like with modern FCS and ballistic computers we should have tanks that can be used as Arty in a pinch. Guess the fact they can't control the charge on a shot would be an issue but we can change that. Ugh red phosphorous. Definitely would rather be shredded to bits than be hit by that. Terrible way to go. How big is the cloud/rain to effectively hit a tank?

  2364. They are only poison if you don't have a well balanced diet. Or eating JUST poptarts. Which in that case, yes. They are perfect for what they are for. A quick easy snack to give you calories. Can even balance out the lack of some nutrition with some good fruit juice. I can't stand them anymore. Yet as a kid I'd be so jealous of other kids who had them. Rich kids food. Screw the chocolate. By the way for the other poster. What preservatives in them are causing cancer? Funny how when you ask people that question they don't know. Fun fact. Fruit has so much sugar in it now, that zoos stopped giving their animals it since it is also unhealthy.

  2365. US never war of 1812... If we could use methods Empires use to do, and gave zero phucks on civilian casualties. Could wipe out fighting male populations. Well then America would be ruling parts of the middle east, and Asia. Yet modern warfare where you restrict your military? You can crush the armies. Yet you literally can't win due to politics. I think this is true for any modern military.

Please help me uncover the truth by sending me to help my operation further as we are low on funds. We use Venmo as it is encrypted, but bit coin also works! I am just an agent, but I actually have an alien that is helping me in disguise as my goldfish who speaks telepathically to me. He took that form since the water he is helps it (they are asexual yet it prefers he. #Liberal) Anyway so he can only impart information as he has no limbs!) BTW Taylor Swift is the leader of the bad aliens trying to farm humanity. Do NOT GO to her concerts or else!!!

If we were exploiting them as you insist they'd be growing something else wouldn't they? They do it because it makes them more money than other options, and we are currently the ones to pay it. Now they could charge more but someone else would take their place. They could grow an other crop but they know they will make more. We aren't responsible for their pay, corruption, or way of life. You act like these people are mentally handicapped with no precedence of their own. You act like their government forces them to grow cocanuts under physical punishment.

They won't spend it on it, but other things. I mean look at Mexico. If it wasn't so corrupt it would have clean water. Yet I've seen people blaming Coke since the average Mexican drinks some insane amount of soda per day. It is like four liters of soda. Thing is. Coke shouldn't be responsible for creating a sewage system. They should only be responsible for the products they make. Mexican corruption is to blame for that. As for building for war? You do realize every civilization that didn't build for war is no longer independent. If it exists at all.

You want to pay some corrupt officials you go right on ahead, because corruption is mainly the problem. Those in those areas who are drought stricten have people running their pockets with money that should be going to infrastructure. Look no further than Mexico! You have people blaming Coke for the four plus liters of soda they drink on average per day. Like Coke is responsible for their drinking and sewage systems. Coke is only responsible for their own products. Have officials lining their pockets with the taxes, and then blaming companies for using the water they purchased as per agreement. So no I don't feel sorry. A lot of people in these third world countries have messed up priorities. 😢

MS 13 here in the states made other gangs look like boy scouts by their sheer brutality. Decapitation pregnant women if they snitched. You might say what about the innocent people. Well it seems like innocent people were getting screwed anyway. Just one is sent to jail wrongly, and the other killed. Democracy is slow, and cumbersome sometimes. Also, it doesn't mean "freedom". Democracy means the majority vote rules, and I haven't seen many El Salvadorans online or in real life say they are against it.

Only similar thing to Russia is the fact is like Russia - China is making enemies with its neighbors through its actions. This is why Finland and Sweden now are in or want to join NATO as well. People would have to be a fool to think the world would be better off with CCP in power. The Han only care about the Han and the CCP and Xi might as well be fascist. Even have the concentration camps TO DAY to prove it. Like Russia they are digging their own hole and their actions are causing their neighbors to also build strength because they can't stand against the hordes of mindless tools that will be thrown at them. The west for all its flaws is a whole a lot better than the CCP. People are just picking what type of poison that will do less damage overall.

  2396. That is a good point. Problem is. So many investors fall for scams by just jumping into any company that has CGI, and a solid pitch. AI is a little different. It will happen, but the time line is all over the place. Improvement of robotics that is. Not full fledged human intelligent AI. The thing is. Even if it happened tomorrow. It is going to take generations I think before they completely take over everything. Look at how many advances actually didn't get rid of the things they are supposed to. From Fax Machines to Tax Accountants with computers to Nuclear for power. I think the last few generations will try to push for legislation to keep jobs for the sake of saving jobs. Until we realize it is putting America behind to countries who embrace it. Warren Buffet says if we taxed corporations 21%? That would pay for our current budget. So taxing at some rate like that while giving UBI will be the future. Who knows how far off. After a civil war most likely.

Some say if forced to choose India would side with the US, and get some of their land back once and for all. South Africa is literally collapsing. They can't power their freaken water let alone go to war. Brazil? Haha! The hell are they going to do? Iran? There name fits them, because that is what would happen if confronted. You've got it backwards. China/BRICS does not want to fight America and her allies. That is where China messed up. They are basically alone. America has much more powerful allies. With that said China is a huge threat.

Over 100 vehicles confirmed destroyed from video it seems in the last week from a multiple attacks. I honestly stopped watching the video as it was depressing.

So basically they force you to bring back a vehicle that is full when there is nothing close enough to actually hit that point since you lose charge bringing it back from god knows where the closest working station was. Scamming. That is what they are doing. Then there is literally no benefit to driving EVs. You get the worse of it with no benefit. Well golly! No wonder why people don't want to deal with that. I'm an avid EV fan just due to the low center of gravity and fast as hell acceleration. Generally all the tech that goes into them.(outside of having no buttons for Tesla. Buttons are nice) Even I would be like screw that non sense. Just give me an ICE. Also EVs are not for people traveling anyway. The mileage/charging is not there. They are for small commutes.

  2403. Okay whatever. Cheap rent, or hard to find parking. Lemme think on that... Yeah cheap rent every time. The two problems are only indirectly related. As in there are ways to fix that. Like having great public transportation, and simply allowing parking on yards. Or allow small businesses like grocery stores, butchers, bakers, and cafes in the neighborhood so people don't have to drive. Or just allowing people to park on yards if they want to. Which is super ridiculous that you can't in many places. Don't need to exactly pave a place to park.

  2404. ​ @JohnDir-xw3hf There is nothing that is perfectly green. Renewables and batteries combined are still way cleaner than the gas industry. Infinitely better for yours, and my health. Who cares anyway on green. The benefits of switching over to EVs and renewables is for national energy security. The sooner we can get off oil the less active we have to be in backwards places like the Middle East. It also can be decentralized, while also giving to the grid. Let us not forget that things like Wind are the cheapest form of new energy. Now with solar cells like pervoskites on the horizon, with battery storage dropping like a rock? We may not even need nuclear for base load. Especially if milimeter drilling works as promised, and it is cheap to dig holes for geothermal basically anywhere. The nice thing about renewables is that the sun overproduces wind, and solar. Unlike having to be sitting on gas fields. Any country anywhere can build a surplus of solar or wind, and store it.

Next big Russian ceremony he is going to come busting through the doors of the Kremlin on a magnificent white steed, shirtless, disguised as Jesus himself, wielding two AKs with a golden RPG strapped across his back. Before any of Putins guards he is going to gun them down, charge the now fleeing cowardly Putin, and leap 20 feet into the air drop kicking him in the back. That is when they both will have a manly duel of fiaticuffs. Then Prighozin with a feat of masculinity will rip Putins head off, declare himself the new leader of Russia. Then March off with his fellow loyal warriors of Wagner group to create the new Soviet Empire. I know this because I meditated into the bowl of Cheerios, and they showed me the signs.

I am sure there are more in Asia, but only one company who's name escapes me is important which is in Japan. Those suppliers for ASLM like Zeiss, and Tymer are Amongst others who are the best in their respective industries. America companies also are the ones designing the architecture for said chips. Is TSCM important? Yeah. They are four to five years ahead of their competition, but that is it. Others in the supply chain for certain parts are unique, and cannot be replaced period. Which may soon be moot with new technologies that may allow America and China to leap frog ahead. I can't remember the name of them.

No. I don't feel bad for them at all. Many countries have had over a century to get their act together, and they take one step forward and two steps back. People treat the people of Africa like they are innocent, naive, poor children. Which is demeaning or flat out racist. They are fully capable adults of figuring out their own issues. No one should have to help them. TLDR - People need to take some damn responsibility for their own situation. The countries in Africa need to take precedence over their lives, instead of using hate as a vehicle.

The US has recently discovered it is sitting on the biggest known lithium deposite. Nevada I think. We didn't mine lithium before, because why mess up your backyard when someone will do it for cheaper than you ever could? That is just us. There are companies trying to extract it from the ocean. You see now that Lithium is important we are investing into it. Let us not mention the fact Lithium is recyclable, along with 90% of the batteries. We are doing that now. Don't know why you all have to make things up. Or you're spreading misinformation. Either way now you know so stop continuing that lie. Lithium willlast longer than oil for humanity. Let us just say that. Same thing with power. Power demand has fallen since 2007 except 2ish years. Why would a for profit energy company make extra power? You don't invest in something declining. Now that energy is needed severely, everyone is in on it, and investing. From power storage to power producing tech (geothermal to private fusion).

  2425.  @bytesburst  There are literally no fifth gen fighters equipped with HARM running around Ukraine for either side. Fifth gen could absolutely destroy their air defenses. Stealth bombers could fly around the majority and hit their air bases, and supply caches. Their AWAC fleet is pathetic, and falling apart. Russia is brute forcing EW. Making them loud easy targets for 5th gen fighters equipped with anti radiation weapons. The F 35 needs to be within about 200 miles of a radar to be detected. Detected, not actually targeted by any weapon system. I don't think you know how stealth works. They don't have enough S 400 command and radar units to cover everything when one is taking out. Launchers? Sure. It's like eight for every unit. Radars? No. Russia would actually be attacked IN Russia too. They couldn't just build up supplies thinking they are safe. A war against NATO would absolutely be like the counter offensive. US alone has enough reserves to fight a war against a Russia by itself. NATO would just have to hold out for supplies to get there. Russia would have been pushed back into Russia within the first months, and then the lines would be made while NATO went into a war economy. Thing about NATO compared to Russia is they have a lot more sway and allies across the world. Oh and America has smart fusion cluster bombs. The entire Russian convoys at the beginning of the war that were stuck would have been obliterated.

Giving me a structure that I can grow from a seed would be awesome. Having a space ship Tyranid style would be awesome. Yet can you imagine using a biological computer which might be smarter than you? So a combination of photonic/quantum computing it is! It is crazy they are already making computers that are quantum computers using light. I never knew they could use different wave lengths at the same time. I figured a computer using light would still be binary using light on or off to compute. So that is pretty awesome. Also fun fact I learned about yesterday.. I've learned some very respectful scientist believes we humans consciousness comes from quantum computing. Using uh Tubulars... Whatever the hell are. It is just a theroy of course that other respectful scientist dismiss. Yet imagine a biological quantum computer one day! Can we call it Zed?

You have a work voice to thug voice etc, etc. Your inflection and speech changes. Then the words we used. My aunt lives in Australia and has an accent and she says when she comes back to America she just speaks regular English. Forgive me but there is a scientific term for it, and I cannot remember it. It's interesting. It is the chameleon effect but thought there was an other term.

  2429. The only water crowd is crazy. Just fresh water is not even close to being the best at hydrating if you're doing physical activity where you're sweating. Crazy the holier than thou folks at Future Proof forgot about laborers, or even soldiers. Like athletes are the only people who do physical activity. Skim Milk is of found to be the best. Tat surprised me at first till I thought about it. Then Pedialyte and other targeted man made drinks. Followed by Cocanut Water. Watermelon Juice. Then other juices likeOJ and Apple. Squeezed, not things like Snapple. Lemonade wasn't talked about but I'm sure it fits here. Then comes MINERAL water. Then comes regular water. So water is incredibly low on the list of good hydration. The issue is your body doesn't retain the water which he fails to mention. This is what the electrolytes help with. People don't have time to eat some nuts, fruit, and berries with water just to actually hydrate. So having a drink that can at least accomplish the task of hydrating without eating is king. I bet humans never preferred water over other things if they had a choice.

  2434. Well. Sucks to be you! It sounds like a political issue. You know they say you don't go west to strike gold to get rich. You go to sell items or services to the miners to get rich. So maybe you won't get money, but there will be everyday people who will. I've seen mining towns before that are prosperous, and I'm not talking about the owners. I've also seen the sheer waste they can leave behind which again is a political issue IMO. Even the most automated mines need people. They generally are great jobs too for those lucky enough to get one. Some jobs can change lives. Of course that is becoming rarer as less people are needed, but hopefully those companies are being taxed which in turn allows the government to give services to all of you. Anyway thr world needs to get off of gas! I think your country won't be worse off due to some mines. I would argue it is better then building a farm for exporting purposes

  2435. ​ @G82Watts Yes. They are comparing EV trucks to EV trucks. Not sports car OR SUVs. How does that make them catering somehow to Tesla when they do it for virtually all vehicles? Similar class vehicles used for similar things. Comparing it to a Porsche Turbo... The heck. It would be sad if the Porsche lost. Or a Lambo Urus that can run you 250k. (Which I think it still beats if you get the tri motor. Still impressive though as the Urus isn't an EV.) It still is a pick up. Made to do pick up things (apparently.) Love the new Lambo SUV concept. Lanzador. Stupid name, and it looks like a squashed Urus. Yet I really like it hah.

  2436. It is a lie. We will always give some carbon off - we just need to start sucking the chemicals up and storing them and stop lying like if we cut down it will fix its self. There will be no single solution. I agree with most of what you said but traffic jams in the sky? Nope. Just hope. Landing and taking off for sure but not for flying - unless we are only allowed to fly at one set altitude which would be ridiculous. 3D space opens up a lot of... Space. I am curious on how air space or air lanes will work though!

  2437. Whoa can't believe that it never crossed my mind he faked his death. Honestly it would be best option for him and Putin. Maybe he will bust through the Kremlin during a press conference on a white horse, shirtless, with one of his wigs looking like Jesus himself wielding two AK 47s painted red, with an RPG strapped to his back encrusted in African diamonds with a massive Cuban cigar hanging out of his mouth. Then he yells "For mother Russia!" And charges in front with his elite squad of freedom fighters raking Putins bodyguards with accurate gunfire, and leaps off to tackle the now fleeing Putin before beating him to a bloody pulp. All caught on Russian media of course. Oh and Tiktok. You know that would be awesome if he did that. Jokes aside the only thing that surprised me is how long it took, and just how blatant it was. No one has mentioned the other people on board - maybe they saw a chance to take out multiple threats, and took it.

  2442.  @ericacherney3132  Yup. Lithium Air batteries is the best therotical battery chemistry known today. If we could even get half the potential that would be 6,000 kwh/kg. Full potential is 12,300ish if you draw oxygen from the atmosphere like regular engines. That is as almost as much as kerosene. Possibly even in a smaller package or volume, but I'm actually not sure what it would look like. Combine that with just how efficent electric motors are... We'd be set. Sadly a lot of hurdles await. One break through last year was getting them to work at room temperature. If cost of graphene could go down we would have some awesome batteries this year in vehicles.

  2443.  @agentjohnson3973  Lasers? Armor the drones up with the 100 million different materials that dissipates heat. Have smoke. Move lower to the ground to avoid straight lines. All sort of ways to avoid lasers which need time on target to burn through to critical parts. Also like I said. They would be swarming, because they are cheap and easy. Sophisticated laser systems are not cheap nor easy to build. Drones will certainly out numbering, and overwhelming them. Much like hornets can overwhelm a person. Electronic Warfare can be countered in so many ways. Hell even EMPs can be hardened against. It will be an arms race. One side will develop a way to counter drones. Then drone makers will counter those defenses. As for expensive drones like Loyal Wingman? Sure they will have their uses too. It isn't like militaries can't have both.

We are seeing how Russia is dealing with this because we've discovered they have been using components from the west in some of their weapons. They don't have the capabilities of building them I guess. It might be painful and more expensive but long term you just have a good work force of skilled and educated workers. Its not like the money spent just vanishes anyway as it will be going back into your own economy.

No one cared since it was Chechnya and Georgia. This happened the second they were stable enough after the collapse too. UKRAINE wanted to join NATO after seeing Russia attempts at trying to make them a puppet state. After seeing their manipulation, and threats. Their aggression to other ex Soviet Bloc countries. The reason NATO is so big is due to Russian aggression. No one is forcing them. You act like Russia has rights over other countries choices or something. Russia could have just kept to itsself instead of meddling, and threatening. Did you forget that part too?

  2452. Of course governments are on the downlow creating mischievous bugs. China is a big one people think does it but can't tell if that's just because it is China. They think Covid is an example gone wrong. I wouldn't put it past America to be honest. I would almost put money on it. Russia too. Now the main three aren't the ones I worry about. They have a nuclear option. The scary ones are the third parties you wouldn't expect or terrorists organizations and doom saying cults. As technology progresses you may not need super expensive equipment to do it and it will become easier and easier to create. Unlike something like a nuke which requires a large machines to purify weapon grades material. An other scary aspect is companies creating diseases and such that they make a cure for before releasing. Not saying this is all true or not but... Humans suck and it doesn't sound far fetched that the US is making a super bug somewhere that it has a vaccine for that could wipe out an enemy without nuclear radiation. China is very homogeneous for such a large population. They like it that way - the Han - now imagine making a disease or virus that only really effects people who have Han ancestry in them... It would decimate Chinas greatest strength and leave most of America untouched.(although millions of Asian Americans would surely die). Just food for thought.

  2453. As someone who desperately needs to gain weight for a liver transplant. Milk is perfect. It has the calories, fat, carbs, AND protein in it among the other things in a small packag. I am on a low liquid diet as my kidneys and liver are shot so I cannot simply just drink water or just juice... If I drink something it needs all those things because about five liters of fluid builds up in my abdomen. I've tried smoothies and they are good but the calories usually aren't there and they are stupid thick which I don't like. If I want a Milk shake consistency I would drink my Nova Source but those are too expensive. I think Oat Milk was my best other option. . Sadly I think I'm starting to become less tolerant to Milk so I'm trying lactaid so I can continue drinking it. Anyways the worse thing about dying is not being able to drink fluid. Once my kidneys failed due to my liver failing it sucks. If I do get on a transplant list and survive the first thing I'm doing is chugging a gallon of chocolate milk till I puke. Then buy 100 different types of fruit juice and drink those. Milk is amazing. Few drinks compare and the ones that do are stupid expensive.

  2454.  @svr5423  Sorry about the other post. I couldn't see the read more as it loaded blank at first, and now I can't see my comment to delete it. What do you mean we had lithium batteries since the 90s? Yeah, and the first transistor was made in 1947. What does that mean? Technology improves. I can't link any, but if you look at battery density, weight, and cost charts. Everything is improving dramatically. We already have 750kwh/kg batteries coming, and solid state batteries in production cars this year. While volumetric density for hydrogen is not improving. Is it? Can't beat physics. That is my issue. Charging times are improving significantly. Batteries can charge in around 25 minutes now, so 20 minutes longer without the fear of leaking. You know what I see when I go outside? A power grid! I don't see hydrogen infrastructure anywhere. I can also charge at home. Charge with a solar panel, or wind. I can charge for pennies on the dollar. Thing is pure EVs are just good enough for 80% of the population already, and give it five years for batteries to be good enough for other applications. Cost plus infrastructure is what holds most people from buying an EV right now. Hydrogen has no infrastructure at all, and costs way more to run, and maintain, and purchase. So basically all you have here is some weight and time to fuel up. Yet WEIGHT! ✋ The weight part isn't even true.. The Toyota Mirai weighs 4,335lb, and the Tesla Model 3 weighs 3,528lb, and Model S 4,766lb. That is with way less total cargo space by the way. So uh, my original point stands. I don't know about you, but 50% or more of my vehicles space being taken up is just stupid. Let us not forget how dumb it is to turn electricity into hydrogen just to transport it twice, to and fro, then get it just to turn it back into electricity.

  2455. In Connecticut around 2006, when flip phones with crappy cameras were still a thing. Just like Alex, a friend and I saw the Tr3-B at 11pm at night time. It caught my eye, because we could see the silhouette in the sky, hovering, but no noise. I had my friend turn off the car engine. Nothing. It had 3 lights on the corner, and a weird reddish one in the middle. Reminded me of a red marble reflecting light out. It hovered for about 5 minutes plus one or minus before just heading off like a bullet with nearly no acceleration. Went north over the horizon in seconds, before popping out east a second later. No human can take those Gs! That was what really made us think WTF. It is very difficult to judge sizes high up in the air at night. So it wasn't till Alex released his story before I realized it was actually big, and high up. I sort of thought it was, but could never confirm. It could have been small, and completely silent. It is crazy both Alex, my friend and I saw it in Connecticut. Not sure if our timelines were similar. Anyway I type this to just hope that was one of ours, lol. I personally not jumping to conclusions like my friend did. Whatever it was I hope it was America's. I also hope no human was in that aircraft, because my god. It just seemed to whizz off more than fly off. The turn/bank from North to East must've been like a right angle!

  2457. ​ @danielhutchinson6604 NATO isn't an economic union. It is a military defense pack for one. No guarantees for economic success. Eastern European countries within NATO are growing too by the way. All three of them. Theyd like to stay away from being Moscows slave. Also remember they are a bunch of poor countries, because they were apart of the Soviet Union. Once it fell they fell too. They are still rebuilding. Hard to do that when Russia ruins it, eh? Like Ukraine is doing better now? Wonder why. Hmm. Everything Russia touches is even worse than the West. The oligarchs control everything. They exploit the countries more. They send minorities in their own country to get slaughtered. There is a reason why Russia and Eastern Europe had such a severe drain brain. All the smart people left. In fact compare NATO nations to those not in NATO. Just period. Is Western and Central Europe not prosperous? Do they not have a better GDP overall? Everything you said is just false. The people of Ukraine wanted to join NATO by the way. PS - why does that guy keep bringing up Asia? I don't think anyone has pushed for them to be a part of NATO. They can do what they choose to do. That is the thing- CHOOSE. Ukraine and Eastern Europe wanted and applied to join NATO on their own accord. No one forced them unlike Russia with places like the Ukraine.

  2458. I seen something similar to the TR3B. We were driving down his street when I forgot my wallet so we stopped. I look up because a red marble reflection caught my eye. I asked my friend if he could see it as it was just floating so we turned off the car and stared at if for a good 5 minutes. I could see the silhouette which was triangle and the light was in the middle. So either it was a MASSIVE craft high up, or completely silent. Then it accelerated to an insane speed from the hover and turned east towards the ocean\horizon under two seconds. This was Groton CT mid 2005ish. No pilot could handle those Gs. Years later there I learned other craft have also been seen. I am still a skeptic and if I saw it by myself I wouldn't even bring it up, but the speed and silence make me question what it could be. Since Groton CT has a sub base and such, and my friend went full X-File on me and would make me go outside to see if I can see X aircraft. Like dude it is a helicopter you can hear that a mile away haha.

  2459. How do people think about Tesla in Europe? Personally I don't like the interiors of Tesla myself as an American, and glad there are options for EVs now. In fact I would buy a Lucid over a Tesla. I want buttons and functionality. Tesla minimalist design for interiors I don't know how the hell VW group is the biggest car maker! I look at the brands, and think.... Are Skoda and SEAT that popular? Is every other car a Jetta, and Golf?! The rest are freaken expensive cars. Random note. A car that blew my effin mind was actually the KIA EV6 GT! I detested Kia my entire life until I saw that my whole life. It was the brand hippie college kids drove at 30mph on the highway on ramp. It is wicked quick and fun from all reviews. One of those cars that looks better in real life for sure though.

  2464. I honestly don't think we will ever see hydrogen for many things due to the volumetric density. Even at 700 BAR the Mirai gets the same as other EVs as far as range goes at around 420. While weighing 1k pounds more than a Model 3 with less volume. So what type of power density with total weight of the system? So I wish they gave us better numbers honestly. I am not holding my breath outside of niche uses.

Even the X engine which shows promise will never be anything, but niche. It doesn't fix the problems of apex seals. Therefor it still burns oil, and has like 25% the lifetime. The X engine from Liquid Piston will be for things like drones, and generators. Maybe someone will use it for an EXOSKELETON?! Yes please. Anyway, I do look forward to it, but sadly I don't think we will ever see a vehicle with one again that is produced at scale. Hopefully a Hypercar hybrid could use it.

  2467. New Energy is getting lower and lower in price, with the benefit of being decentralized. It is not happening over night either. Engineering Explained or Real Engineering (was it? The car guy) did a video on what it would look like if the entirety of the US switched over night, and it was just 25% more power. Roughly equivelent to all of us running ACs 8 hours a day if I recall. All the gas subsudizes and infrastrucrure costs could go pay for that over time. I think people with your concern fail to realize we try to produce only as much energy we need at any giving time. If there is more demand we will easily build for that demand as we always have. There will be hurdles of course. Yet they are just that - just hurdles. They aren't walls or mountians, and won't stop progress.

  2469.  @AdurianJ  Yeah that 35mm AHEAD ammo looks amazing. I think they also have the tungsten pellets/shot have a pretty uniform pattern with the fuse. I do know the gun primes it as it is leaving the barrel. Seen a test of what I believe is the SkyNex system take out 8 drones in one small burst. Kind of overkill for them but effective. Why the hell the US doesn't use such ammo and systems for the CIWIS and Phalanx is beyond me. Sure its cool we can essentially shoot a bullet with a bullet mid air but feel like there is a larger room for error and requires longer bursts. Also the 20mm doesn't have enough range or power. I guess the new hypersonic weapons are armored? I call BS on that ‐ at the speeds those things are going any piece of tungsten should be sufficient enough to cause significant damage. Even if it only damages the flight surfaces the missile would tear itsself apart or definitely miss the target. The Italians 70mm Naval gun is getting upgraded to 200rpm. I guess it can shoot down basically anything that flies and surface ships. Maybe the US should buy that and upgrade it with AHEAD type ammo. The range and amount of tungsten thrown into the air with such a gun would make quick work of anything. Yet I am just a pleb. I don't know why we do things a certain way.

Not sure about the nuance or key differences. I just know it can be used against incoming air and ground targets. Definitely wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it. Not that there are many bullets in the world I want coming at me hehe.

They knew they couldn't compete, nor wanted crazy escalation in violence. Shootings are bad enough. Anyway I had a good gig transporting weed, but the money went to everyone else's head. Just 20 to 30 pounds. A trunk full if it wasn't vacuumed. Anyway I would get like 800$ per trip. Just go up. Get it. Then come home. Drop it off. Nothing else. Well guess what. Good things don't last as people start showing off their money trying to get girls or impress people. Or they style themselves Scar Face. Then they get caught and snitch. Or one of the ex GFs snitches. I got out 6 months before it all went to hell. I saw the writing on the wall, and none of them listened. My entire job was to be the lookout. Keep everyone in check.

  2477. ​ @huemann7637 ​ You kidding me? If you even attempt to try to get pain killers you will be viewed as an addict these days in America. It went from giving opiates for any complaint. To doctors not giving any pain killers to people in need. I know so many people who legitimately need them and struggle to get them. Me? I'm dying so I could get some, but I turned it down multiple times. Don't want to be addicted to it again, and besides I'm already on something that is a half agnostic so they'd have to give me a shit load of strong opiates to even feel it. You? If you went into the ER saying you might need pain killers? The ER doctor could put "drug seeking behavior" on your medical record which will basically make it ten times harder for doctors to prescribe you them. With that said China really had nothing to do with it at first. We were already a nation addicted to opiates before their labs started popping up. The demand was there, and eventually people from the west realized they could get Chinese labs to make it for cheap.

  2479. Nah what is really crazy is they realized you can inoculate or seed different things with the "mother". They isolated the good bacteria versus the bad bacteria. I mean desperation is the mother of invention and we see this with fermented foods. Using yesterday's bread to get the good yeast to help new bread taste better or rise quicker. Using the right kind of soured milk to add to new milk for kefir or buttermilk! All of them last significant longer and can be stored. They also can be dangerous if you don't do it right, and that's so crazy. What is even more mind boggling to me though is them figuring out what PH levels work to stop terrible things... Was this done by pure trial or error or did they have some methodology to it!? Thank God we can pass on knowledge eh? Makes you wonder who these pioneering dudes were who experimented with everything... They didn't just say something is poison and leave it alone, but they kept at it trying to make it useful through whatever means they had. How much stuff do we enjoy today that is harmful in its natural state?!

Like are we talking about an a self improving algorithm or a self conscience program that has more computing power than humans. You don't need the later for what you mentioned. Just a few well written programs. Me I need a super AI in my pocket that isn't connected to anything and who's consciences is like mine! Just smarter version of me who likes me so much that it would never harm me or others and aligns with my morals.

  2482. Yes he needs to modernize ASAP. I don't feel bad for those few people who think people should pay extra because they are keeping some tradition alive. "People don't appreciate this salt more." Well make your product better taste wise or mineral wise... Don't expect people to pay more for something that isn't really unique. Just because you work hard days compared to someone with a machine just doesn't change the quality of the product. What the hell is up with the fact they cannot sell their land to outsiders though... That is messed up. I'm willing to pay extra for a better product. Not paying extra for those who are stubborn to change - His ancestors switched methods from boiling the water to using the sun... He should too. This goes for all products. Quality > Tradition. (Unless religious beliefs are forcing ya.)

  2483.  @mrcat5508  Shit even American farmers are struggling with modernizing. Doesn't need to modernize. They can sell direct to consumer now online. I have seen and read about other farmers who accomplished it. The ones I don't are held back by their greedy governments who think ten people with shovels is good employment. Or in most cases getting manhandled by corrupt local businessmen who feed the corruption on a local and state level.

  2484. It isn't the US that they are afraid of. It is Russia. Europe sanctioned Russia so it stopped funding Russias war machine. I can't believe I even had to type the most obvious answer. Russia is an aggressor. It has been invading countries for BS reasons since the 90s with the Chechnya War, then Georgia, and then Ukraine. The writing was on the wall. Especially for the eastern European countries. Better to not get your energy from your enemy. This change was long time coming.

  2485. Look at the release date. This channel is anything, but, a Russian pawn. Just back then everyone thought their stuff was actually decent. No one expected Russian stuff to perform this poorly. Now we know better. Russia is full of it. This video has aged poor as hell, hah.

  2486. Wonder why we dropped the Super Sonic strategic bomber. I saw a video of a new Russian super Sonic bomber concept but think that was made up because I can only find information on the PAK-DA. I guess we are leaning on loitering using stealth to reduce detection range with stand off weapons. Or the AF and other countries are waiting for hypersonic aircraft to be ready in the next few decades.

  2487. We shall see. Europe should have never relied on America. Our leaders should have made sure countries were paying NATO. Most of Europe heavily relied on America logistics from what European soldiers told me. They have great technology, but never built a good amount. They told me that a lot of their stuff is falling apart. Like every day things, like their trucks. Depending on country of course. Poland though is not joking. They are like the Pitbull of Europe, and ready to just massacre Russia.

  2490. A war with America in it would be vastly different. I seriously doubt a war would go the way Ukraine is. One. America does not have restrictions on where they can attack. Two - We have an airforce that can actually do SEAD. Artillery are highly vulnerable to them. I was going to go on yet you guys are not dumb. America has so many assests to deal with or avoid the mine fields, and trenches. Those are the main reason why artillery is so important this war.

  2493. Taxes aren't even that bad in America compared to some places in Europe. One of the reasons why some are actually against medical is due to the fact they think theyll pay more if it passes on par with Nordic countries. Man... When that shill Tucker went to Russia. Started comparing food prices without factoring wages? That was terrible! Acting like pine needle flavored food was amazing. What a damn shill.

  2494. ​ @CMY187  I believe we should start seeing true documentaries of what life is like soon. Don't think governments will allow it though. Hopefully. Basically unfiltered two hours of a battle with a story. Just raw footage with the benign cut out to tell the story of the lives of X(Y and Z). Hell maybe one day after the war is over someone will find and piece together a sequel to some that shows how the first one killed him and his men.

  2495. Some but not all. Don't know why they just don't make ships bigger. Square cube baby! That way you don't have to worry about it and can just go around it.

  2497.  @PricelessLime  When did Eric actually threaten Terrence. Better yet what did he say exactly? Genuine question. I watched most of the Podcast till I stopped after being tired of Terrence whining that math was wrong, and wasn't understood. When he in fact was the problem was just him either not explaining his ideas. (which I think may have been an excuse at times. Other times legitimate.. Or that he was the one who didn't want to listen or understood. I did see some of the clips of the so called threats, but after further investigation it really wasn't. More like allegories on Eric's part. Funnily enough Eric was misunderstood for sure too. He doesn't seem like a good teacher at all. Think he forgot Terrence wasn't some PHD student taught by Academia. His multiplying explanation was so overly complicated it was mind boggling. Anyway I only watched like 55-70%. So I could be wrong. I think Eric did a phenomenal job trying his best to make work of Terrence. His patience infinitely better than 99% of what any expert in any field would deal with - when basically an armchair amateur comes in trying reinvent the wheel saying an entire school of thought for centuries is wrong. Saying the greats before him are wrong. I mean I find it very far fetched anything Terrence said will unlock anything. Again I think he should make some experiments to prove some of the math. Even Einstein wasn't god like famous till people started proving his theories. While he released special relativity in like 1905. Then released his followup General Theroy. It wasn't till 1919 till Sir Eddington famously proved it during an eclipse with an experiment using gravitational lensing with light being bent.
    1
  2498.  @illens08  Exactly my point. He should've dumbed it down for Terrence who is clearly struggling with the concept. Or worse the seemingly thousands who actually somehow believed Terrence. It isn't helping them, and he said he came onto the show to basically fix the wrongs. I can't believe I ever had to type that. So many people struggling with 1st grade mathematics it seems.

  2499. I think that is natural and perfectly normal. We are all capable of terrible things or else we wouldn't be alive - all the true pacifists were conquered long ago. Also those who think they like war either haven't witnessed the destruction or have mental issues. War brings out the best and worse of us as well. It is a paradox really.

  2501. Can't blame the politicans when half our country is full of people who's red neck identity is rolling coal in an inferior truck. Literally blocking any legislation for our government to support the inferior tech. EVs are the superior technology in every way except range. EVs now, with solid state, and 500w/kg batteries. Will finally rival the weight of an ICE. Electric motors are more powerful, can last 100k plus longer, better for enviroment, less routine maintenence, instant torque, inherently balanced, less parts, 80 times less likely to catch fire, and EVs weight distribution is superior. I'd rather split the country then have these southern red state rejects get most of the taxes, and define us in blue states. I hope the day comes.

  2503. Sadly lots of medical things as well. Nova Source is something I have to have and there aren't any alternatives that are similar. Pretty sure they make Nepro as well. . What sucks is some companies are owned by Nestlé but really have nothing to do with the companies buisness practices from what I understand. All in all governments need to start hammering down on companies like Nestlé. They aren't the only shady AF company that outright ruins fresh water and such. Then the EPA an Army core of engineers have to come in and pick up their shit just to get it nearly acceptable. I am not against bottled water but think it should be heavily taxed and something needs to be done with water rights.

  2510. Sure. A lot of things were designed to either use or deal with gravity during manufacturing. If we actually started making something up in space we would be designing it with a no gravity environment helping you. Also by the time we actually start manufacturing in space we would also probably create a way to mimic gravity in some parts of the platform with centrifugal force for the time it is helpful. Anything built in space is going to be specialized to be built in space. Either way it was a terrible example.

  2511. Well you had huge native population that were warring with each other for centuries. Then we brought our myriad of diseases that they had no immunity to completely wiped them out. Our Livestock and the pathogens they carry is what mainly wiped native Americans out. Wars and practices just sped up the decline. At least that's what I've read. I always wondered why the transmission of disease didn't go both ways. America also came around when centralized nations and NOT kingdoms among the age of sail and then industry. Perfect time to get a head start.

  2515.  @johnnyboythepilot4098  I don't know WTF it was and won't even bother. It was silent which caught my attention outside of the light. Yet the acceleration would snap you in two. Like it had only two settings. Stop and go. Still want to know if it was big and far off or small and quiet because I saw the faint sihllouette. Either way I don't know if you're fucking with me and it is going over my head but who is Salvatore Pais?

  2516. In Groton CT? My friend and I absolutely saw one late at night when he was bringing me home. I saw something and was like huh that has weird lights. You see that? Is that a helicopter? So he stops the car and at the time we are thinking it is coming towards and nearly right above us. Yet after looking for a minute it hasn't moved at all so I tell him to turn off the car. Still nothing! So we get out of the car and it is just floating above us. Now here is the weird thing... We could see the silhouette of it in the shape of a triangle against the night sky. It had three light, and one bigger in the middle that reflected light weirdly - almost like looking at a red marble with an inner light. Yet there was no noise at all on top of it. So that either means the thing was massive and high up in the sky. Or super quiet and low to the ground... So it couldn't be a helicopter as I'm use to them. Anyway we are standing there for five minutes and this was right when cell phones had cameras so it had like 1 mega pixel, haha. He tried though. Anyway then it took off like a bat out of hell. There was no acceleration. Just standing still and full speed. It traveled north about a mile before going over a hill and tree line and then a split second later appeared where the hill dipped heading east over the ocean. With how fast it popped east I doubt it even turned - just a hard right like a upside down L angle. That acceleration and G force would have killed anyone. I only told a few people about the story. Years later an ex I told it to showed me a story about the TR3B and sure enough it is it. Amazes me how so many others seen it. I'm a skeptic yet I cannot deny what I saw. I won't pretend to know what it is or speculate. I just know what both of us saw and know how fast the f***ing thing went and that it was silent. I wish I had something to judge the size or speed of it, but it was a bright night sky with only some clouds. Darker then the night sky though! No sonic boom by the way - complete silence. Again it didn't acceleration not like a rocket. Shot off like a bullet. Total time was probably a bit less then ten minutes. When it was hovering it did absolutely nothing. Just hope it is on my side!

  2518. Feel like organic mercury is one of the deadliest. Two drops of it went through a glove on this woman scientist named Karen Wettrerhahn, who had gloves and took safety precautions. She died within six months and helped change safety regulations. Truly sad story as she wasn't brash or being dumb but a simple mistake. Chubby has a good video on it. Also a sad one with Cocanut Water. Since it is slow and can go through materials while being absorbed through the skin? It is a perfect tool because by the time anyone notices it is too late and you are long gone. Doctors will figure it out but don't think there is anything that can do since it stores in the fat.

  2519. Everyone? I bet there were plenty who didn't know or heard rumors. The government? Hah, they raced to poach NAZI scientists so the Russians didn't get them. Especially the rocket and aerospace engineers. They actively looked for high ranking NAZIs in all sectors of science. There were a lot of people who were forced to register to become a member especially if they wanted to get anywhere. I'm not sure about VB, but like I said the government didn't care as long as they weren't practicing or spreading that shyte here in the open. I wonder if he really was a true hard believer Nazi.

Like the bigger stops should have chargers I would assume. So I'm wondering how viable it is. Yet the bigger stops might have more people waiting for the chargers... So what happens then! Hopefully people don't go and take their sweet ass time blocking the charger while they stuff their face.

  2525. We need to make all remote stations from .50 cal on a UTVs to secondary 30mm on a tank an automated point defense system. What is a PDS? An automated turreted system that can track, target, and shoot down incoming projectiles from missiles to drones in a fraction of a second. If you ever seen the Expanse you know what I am trying to say. If I were the DoD I would be investing heavily into the technology, because it would help everything from helicopters to even something like a HMMV. Maybe going the explosives like a Trophy system is better, but at least with a gun it can be used around friendly troops. We have the technology already too. It would be more about putting each component together with amazing software. I also say guns, because if we could get them accurate and quick enough to shoot down an incoming missile or drones? You'd be able to use them around friendlies in at least a safer manner. Still would be dangerous, but it isn't a fucking explosive charge yeeting across your face.

Unless you believe the political lies like how Russia says it wants peace. Fact is China and India should be the most powerful countries from just a resource and population perspective. Crazy it isn't. Last time I heard the average Chinese citizen made 2 dollars a day. Surely that has grown, and will. Who knows how long, because it is hard to judge how strong they are doing since they stopped releasing negative information, and local governments lie from the ground up.

  2537. Try to get some mescaline aka Microdots if you guys haven't.. Better than acid in terms of spiritual tripping in my opinion. Like a cross between shrooms, acid, and MDMA. My friends who took more since I was broke cried at seeing headlights. Hardcore skater punks. Mescaline is derived from the peyote cactus. They are called buttons, and I could never actually get my hands on just any buttons. Nor could I ever get mescaline again. Yet online has changed that. My friend looked, and it was quite expensive at something like 70$ a micro dot. (That is the slang name of mescaline as they look like a tiny seed. A sesame seed to be exact.) Great stuff. For some reason I am reminded of the story of how X guy was pulled over by the cops with hundreds of tabs of acid. Put it under his arm pits. Ended up perma tripping? You guys ever been told that story. My sister says she knew a guy who did the same thing. I think she heard the story and lied.

With that said if aliens gave me life. Raised me till maturity, and gave me everything I needed to be content. Then slaughtered me at age 35 without me knowing? Hey I think better to live a life like that then never to exist at all. Even if it meant I winded up on someone else's table. Afterall I would be raised in captivity, and I would be ignorant of anything else. I do think if I found out I was going to be eaten I would revolt. Yet that is just life.

That there would be little resistance and those who were obviously were Western pawns. He also did it for his own legacy I believe. He wanted to leave his mark on history as the one who restored mother Russia to its former glory. This is why the war in Ukraine won't be over for a long time until one sides population breaks.

  2550.  @IMGreg..  Nuclear, wind, tidal... Do not need solar at all. Solar is a waste of space IMO. Great for small scale but using land just for solar is ridiculous IMO. Even China is making it illegal. Well if they can pull it off for sure then okay. I have nothing against hydrogen or in cahoots for pure EV. Yet honestly things like the hydrogen combustion engine are dead on arrival and have absolutely no use. Even the theoretical most efficient hydrogen combustion engine possible still isn't worth it and we aren't close to that level of efficiency. Also the PSI alone to make it even compete with gas would be astronomical and quite dangerous. As batteries and especially super capacitors make more developments though it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see hydrogen cars take off. I think we were stupid for not embracing nuclear safely. We really could use nuclear desalination and power plants across the world ATM.

  2557. ​ @Tolstoy111 Mongols snuffed out the Arab Golden Age. Europe industrial age passed them by because cheap labor(like slavery) was still available. They didn't invest into financial institutions like banks, nor their people. Europeans legimately created deep ocean navigation essentially to bypass Ottomon shenanigans, because they controlled the trade routes to Asia. First by going around Africa. Then around the world. Europeans then started colonizing. That is when things took off. They reached Asia. Found the New World. Plundered it. Reinvested into technology. Modern Arabs from the oil rich countries just splurge. Waste their money on showing off like Kings of old.

  2560. Oh you like carrying huge tanks for your fuel eh? I want to like hydrogen. Hydrogen volume density is such garbage. Even at 700 bars with 22 liters you get a measly 100 miles of range. Whoopty doo! Better with a fuel cell. Still I don't think there is much improvement there therotically either. Batteries are rapidly getting better. They have potential. Lithium Air which finally have been created will be a MAJIOR leap of ten to FIFTY times! We aren't there yet though, but solid state are now releasing. We will have longer lasting, more power, charge faster, and cheaper batteries. Personally I think hydrogen will be incredibly niche. Maybe for remote locations or something where they can make their own. Going from power plant > hydrogen refinery > shipping hydrogen with hydrogen > vehicle. Just doesn't make sense when you can go power plant > vehicle.

  2561. Electric blows, and will absolutely blow ICE out of the water. It is ridiculous how many haters there are since they don't make vroom vroom noises like a damn toddler. They kill it on acceleration, and have a low center of gravity. There is an axial flux motor by UK Helix thst has 800hp at 52 pounds. That is ridiculous. Wait till someone gets two or four, and puts them on a Miata with solid state batteries. They also do it without waking up the neighborhood. So what you have to charge it every 300 miles. That is easy enough especially if you have a home. Average range most people drive a day is 42 miles.

  2563. Ya know this war has always been framed the long way IMO. To me this war is about Putin trying to leave some great legacy. Think about it - it made little sense economically and I don't think he is stupid enough to believe Russia was going to be invaded by anyone. He wanted to bring Russia back to its former state where it rivaled or even surpassed the West. He wanted his name to be written down in history books as the hero of Mother Russia after the great Soviet Collapse of 1990. A true patriot who never bated an eye to the fact the Moscivan people are the greatest in the world and deserve to spread their infuelnce far and wide. The only thing he failed to realize was how much corrupted destroyed the military and the resolve of the Ukrainian people. He went in full well the West would do jack little. At most he might be surprised at how united NATO became which is ironic. If his goal really was to secure Russia? Well he basically handed a blank check to Western arms manufacturers while waking them up. He could have sat back and watch the West tear its self apart. He is lucky NATO was in shambles and can't get it its shit together. We sent Ukraine too little too late. We should have stopped trickling armaments the second Ukraine looked like it wasn't going to fall. Never allowed Russia to dig in. I wrote that last year during the Winter it will become a war of attrition, and I don't see an ending in sight.

To represent the spires? Like putting two weights on the same chain clearly distorts it into... Not an arch. Has straight lines. Isn't that bad? (As you see I'ma ignant!) I really wish we got to see an overlay from chain to 3d model. It is really cool. Probably the most unique building I've seen. Props to the god damn construction crew. One thing making models that stand. A total other actually making it into a reality. You never actually see the conversion process of going from paper to reality for engineering. I see the lowest workers doing grunt work, and the highest designers. Never the guys after the designers who plan the logistics, get the work force, tools, and actually execute. Society is awesome for all its flaws.

  2574. If laser tech improves as it has? Hypersonic missiles maybe the best way to counter them since it takes time, and line of sight for them to heat up the target. Conventional will be susceptible to them. Especially once Megawatt beams and higher become available. Right now they are so expensive. Better to have 100 cruise missiles over a single hypersonic.

  2575. Agreed. A dedicated space bombers makes no sense to me when we have ICBMs from the US and Submarines... Hell a stealth 21 B with cruise nukes can do the job as well just as much... A TEST utility vehicle makes perfect sense to me. I feel like it is a bit too small. A satellite killer definitely makes sense to me though. Something that can go up into space and disable multiple satellites quickly without causing much debrie would be insane. How one does that I have no idea. Space LAZERS on a TURRET! I mean if it were to be a military weapon that would make the most sense. A weapon that can stay in orbit with utility uses or ways to disable satellites without causing a huge space catrasophe with space debris.

I have end stage liver and kidney disease. So my body doesn't do things like store carbs as fat. I need to gain more weight to be at a proper BMI, and guess what? Everything is targeted to LOSE weight. It is so hard to get a full fat product these days. Kefir which is glorious for gut issues - one brand has it in full fat. So I'm like okay what fruit or veggie has high fat and protein? Just a handful, and I hate coconut. I heard avavdo just taste like oil anyway so what is the big deal, and why do people who are trying to lose fat so in love with it? Any tips on how to eat one though would be nice. Feel like most uses of them are as a topping. I should just buy avocado oil or EVOO and chug it.

  2577. Why do people insist on judging it by KG. Yeah one KG is like 24 liters of volume at 700 BAR! Liquid hydrogen isn't happening. It just makes sense that people think that is the future of consumer cars. One thing that is crazy to me is that a liter of water holds more hydrogen then liquid hydrogen! The fuck! Too bad we didn't have a cheap process to be able to separate hydrogen with a fuel cell from water, and then use it using some crazy technology!

  2578. I have end stage liver and kidney. Anyway I have to have bowel movements at least 3 to 4 times a day. Sometimes my medicine causes nearly all water. Some people say Metamucil helps with diarrhea. Others say it helps them pass stool... So it is like WTF is it?! I need to keep passing movement as it is the only way to remove ammonia but I just want it not so damn liquidy. Also bonus points for it to collect fluid. That is good as I don't produce urine and need dialysis and a paracentesis to get fluid out of my body.

  2581. ​ @Gaenzdad93 I've read caged armor works against older RPGs, and some smaller drones. Therefore no one is using those weapons against said vehicles. So we will only see successes basically. Also the turtle armor might work against some of the drones from what I gather. Evidence is super mixed. If you have some good sources saying if it does ot doesn't I would love to see it. The thing is. Neither side is showing the failures of their weapons if they can help it. So therefore evidence will be scarce if this or that works or not. Anyway even though caged armor might works against certain older weapons. The question then becomes... Is anyone actually using those weapons still. Which might be unlikely, because why use a weapon so easily defeated. Then again... Both sides are using anything that can kill so... Who knows. Soon bronze cannons will be pulled from museums.

  2582.  @descartes2404  He was talking about older ship of the line type cannons I think. In response to my joke that we will be seeing bronze cannons on the battlefield soon since reports of older and older weapons keep showing up. Seriously though. A 16 inch cannon from a WWII Battleship could do some damage before being found. Get a few shots off at least. It can out range most of Russias stuff including the Pion. They would have to use air, rockets or missiles.

  2585. Well said. I support the lesser of two evils, which in my mind is Isreal. I keep asking anti Isreal or Hamas supporters what else can be done. They don't really have any answer that has not been tried, or is simply hypocritical. Basically they want Isreal to only react. There isn't a country on earth that would allow the same attacks over, and over. America especially wouldn't tolerate it. Look at what we did after 9 11. If the cartels in Mexico gained 45-75% support, and started sending rockets. We would be doing the same. Isreal is just being more thorough. I blame Hamas for the collateral. I also think if you shelter, and allow extreme terrorists to hide amongst you, while giving support indirectly or directly. You cannot claim innocence. Negligence is never an excuse. It took the Allies extreme measures to get rid of the Axis powers in WWII. It is no different today. I do not like Isreal far right movement, and how it is gaining traction. They are becoming worse themselves, and if they continue that spiral I hope we stop supporting them as well.

  2587. I think people are asking why hasn't there been any paradgrim shift in our understanding of the cosmos by therotical physicist that fit together some of the inconsistency. If a genius actually experimentally proved String Theroy that would instantly shut this question down. Yet string Theorist keep moving the goal post everytime an experiment fails. Then they go back, and try to change the math to fit the observation. Instead of the observation fitting the math. Seems like we are just reinforcing old ideas these days, and that is it. Personally I feel like quantum mechanics has come a long way in my lifetime. At least the practical side of things, but I'm not sure if it is therotical physicist doing that work. Or the material and computer science at using old ideas. Some say we are on a cusp. I'm not holding my breath.

So we can be better ourselves, and not relax on our laurels. We cannot give an inch. Chinas population and the way their government can focus their population by force gives them an advantage. We need to be the best, and we need to keep our allies. PS. The Valkyrie doesn't have an internal bay. What is the point of it being stealth?

You are correct flights are calculated by the amount of fuel and then average the fuel spent during travel. It is always a catch .22 in terms of design - people are like why don't they just carry more fuel! Well because you weigh more at take off so you're using fuel to carry fuel. Hence drop tanks versus conformal tanks in fighters. Both have their benefits and why aerial refueling is such a game changer for the military. Edit ( Or why rockets use stages even if they could have an efficient magical rocket throughout the flight envelope.)

Just on the cusp of everybody having a camera in their pocket when I was a stupid teen. Thankfully the stupid crap my friends and I did aren't online forever. Would be nice to have some memories though. One time I did Dramamine with a friend. Like the whole package each j believe.. It makes you not hallucinate but delirious - a very important distinction which we did not appreciate as we were experienced in tripping. Long story short we went get more because we did not feel it. Yet we kept walking towards his house and then start walking to the store to back to his house... them we split off from each other when he went to go piss. I waited for an hour before some black guy who might not have been real came out with a bat. I told him I was waiting for a friend but ill walk. I walked home instead and when I got home I saw ticks on me! So I picked them me for hours with tweezers and dug deep gashes all aound my skin and saw a bunch of crazy shit. My friend did not make it home. Next day I get worried and his mom calls and I finally admitted what we did. His dad picked me up and go looking for him. I see my jacket on the dumpster in this apartment complex and we find a line of clothes leading to someone's apartment balcony. So we stop and yell- he hears us and is in the woods. His dad goes in like super man and comes out carrying his butt ass naked 18yo son covered with wounds. My friend walked through a huge pricker field naked and woke up in it and couldn't get out. Had thousands of cuts all over his body. We both lived though so there's that but hard lessons learned. Just thought I'd share. Will only trip on peyote or mescaline now but that is rare as hell.

  2611. I'm all for nuclear. I don't think it would work economically. It would be more expensive, somehow, because of over regulations, and corruption. So I agree with ya, but just think peoples stupidity would stop it from being economically viable. I always wondered why we don't use 45 degree solar vacuum tubes with fresnel lenses to concentrate the light. I guess the biggest issue would be dealing with the brine, and cleaning them. Yet that is why they'd be nearly vertical. Let the brine go to the bottom. (By the way the water isn't in the vacuum. Vacuum is for the outer pipe insulate the inner pipe. Just Google solar vacuum tubes. They are already used to heat water, and I guess can actually give electricity. Never heard of them till recently.)

  2612. ​ @davidhuttner275 Fun fact. A 1,000 megawatt nuclear station produces just 3 meters of cubic waste a year. Over the lifetime of the entire plant that equates to about ONE cargo container. That is for a million people. Plants can be bigger, and more efficent. We also can reuse that fuel for many things, which also turns it into forms that are only radiated for like five decades or a few centuries. Can't remember, but it wasn't long on the society time scale. When I learned all that I was flabbergasted. Been gas lighted my whole life on how big an issue nuclear waste is. That isn't the high quality nuclear fuel the Navy guy is talking about. No idea if it is even better as far as waste goes.

Well months pater It's been good and far cheaper compared to other places so you start to relax on testing. Well unbeknownst to you they are slowly using cheaper materials or cutting corners to get more profit. The only way you find out is due to complaints and bringing in a third party to see what the fuck is going on. By that time your brand name has taken a hit because - its the Chinese fault - will only get ya "well you should know better!". I guess that happens A LOT.

As I type this three years late, we have batteries being produced with 500 kw/kg which 30-40 plus. They also can be charged in 15. So charging and power will increase year after year for the foreseeable future. Yet EVs don't have to match trucks 1v1. Even if they have only 80% the range? I think they will take over due to the extreme cost savings of fuel, oil, and parts. With the electric motor just being superior. It still boggles my mind we don't have mass produced diesel electric.

  2620. ​ @hase3362 Hydrogen is a terrible storage medium outside very niche uses due to volumetric density. You need to sacrifice your cars volume to fit the heavy/expensive storage tanks which need to be like 700 BAR. Toyotas Mirai weighed like 1,000 more pounds than a Tesla Model 3! Like WTF, you can make floatinf blimps with hydrogen. Anyway heavier with much less interior space. All for a fuel that costs triple the amount. It doesn't stop there. Since they also don't have banks of batteries to send power all at once? Hydrogen cars also don't benefit from the sheer instant torque, and acceleration as EVs do. All of this at triple the price of an already expensive EV. Since fuel cells will never be cheap due to the large amounts of even rarer metals. All of this for 53 miles more range? Let us not even speak about how hydrogen has zero infrastructure. It just doesn't make sense. This doesn't even factor in batteries have significantly more potential, and are getting better and better every year. A 500 wh/kg battery just started being produced this year. That is nearly double the power of the Model 3s batteries. So we already hit the mark where EVs can out perform hydrogen. So there is zero point in trying to make hydrogen the fuel source for vehicles anyway.

  2621.  @nyanbrox5418  Yes. They get paid 1,500 yuan a month. Which is... 0.1378 USD. How is that not slavery? Our prisoners get more. Here from a quick Google. "Uyghurs detained in camps and forced to labor in factories must endure dreadful conditions. In one internment camp in Kashgar, Xinjiang, Uyghur detainees work as forced laborers to produce textiles. They receive little pay, are not allowed to leave, and have limited or no communication with family members." US government has pages on their conditions. I've seen leaked videos the CCP tries to hide so badly. Mini documentaries. With China being the iron curtain part 2 with how tightly they try to control information? Evidence is way harder to get. Even talking about them is a nono for their citizens. Like Tianamin Square. People have escaped it to tell their stories. So you can just look this information up at your free will since I can't link it. It is really suspicious that you keep denying it. I don't think it is a mass conspiracy with all the evidence of their treatment under the CCP. It doesn't surprise me. The Han are racist as hell. The CCP and Xi are running a police state that doesn't care about human rights.

  2622. It is clear to me that private companies cannot be trusted with the grid. It is making us vulnerable to attack or any catastrophe. We basically pay for the grid multiple times. Once to build a plant. Then we give owner ship to companies who charge us, and have split the grid into a convulted mess where non take responsibility. Then when they don't build the grid up to snuff they come crying for more. Since they build at the minimum possible level, and all extra goes to shareholders. Texas grid is a clear example. They didn't want to connect with the other two American grids due to not wanting to follow regulations. They didn't build to expect extreme weather for both hot and cold. How can you not expect high AC usage in Texas? Idiots don't spend for insulation either. Good news on renewable. They can be more isolated, and the sun over produces for wind and solar. Solar works even when it is snowing. So hopefully it will be so cheap we start over producing in abundance. I forsee storage being the issue, but if it gets cheap enough where every home is equipped with one of the storage solutions we will be fine.

  2623. If we could get metal air batteries to work we would have some. Lithium air has the same energy density as kerosene. Well like 1,000 watts less. It has 12,300 watts per KG. Now for reference a Tesla battery pack is sitting at 240-280 watts per KG. So if we get even 50% of that. I think we could have a useful battery. Mind you it would still need to have to be able to charge it every 24 hours. Yet still. Imagine a true style power armor for short airborne assaults. By the way. An other technology we need is a small jet pack that only is powerful enough to act like a parachute. I think we could do that. Incredibly small pack that allows SF to literally drop from the sky from any aircraft, and hit the floor running. Get some Titan Fall pilots before exoskeletons.

  2624.  @OneBotsman  First exos will be powered frames, with a kitted helmet with optics. First will basically an exoskeleton that allows you to carry more with less exhaustion over distances. Then start increasing strength and speed while adding armor. Hopefully exo skeleton armor would be modular. Be able to put bigger plates on the front to protect you up to 14.7mm. Mission dependent. That would be super nice to have in an inner city conflict while on the offensive! (Or SF missions.) Lack of a solid power source is the problem! We definitely can make it happen with todays tech if we had something that could power it. I am hoping all this EV and robot research trickles to exoskeletons. If you can make a robot. You can make an exo.

  2627. Was in the hospital more than half the year last year. Get bored easily after weeks so did a joke to someone saying "Thanks to you I'm still alive, from the bottom of my heart can iI just say I hope you have a great life asshole. Now under security watch because I tried offing myself but your blood saved me. Now I can't shave. Thanks a lot man and now they have me on so many pills I hardly think clearly. Go ruin someone else's death." Of course I said just playing. Told them how I felt like a million bucks better after the donation as they couldn't figure out where I was losing blood. Kepg getting low enough to be a concern. Anyway I asked four other people if I should send it. Two said no and the other two had dark humor like myself and thought it was great.. So I just sent the regular old thank you and how it made me feel great. Wish I knew I had O Positive ‐ I would have donated much more.

  2629.  @MixingGBP  Oh for sure. Yeah I just think it is the cost of the power wall that is what really caught me off guard. I had no idea such systems were so expensive and the math seemingly checks out which is just... Crazy. Even if it isn't perfect you still have from what I hear a freaken decent truck that you can use to sell later. Can't really say the same of a power wall! Maybe liquid batteries will become a thing. I know large scale projects are popping up and they seem promising from the required materials to storage capacity - anytime weight isn't an issue like for a home basically. Not sure if people would feel comfortable with super heated materials being around their home though but most are aiming for making them with basically harmless materials where clean up is an issue but won't contaminant your property.

  2630. When you think one man can save a country, and the world. You are in a cult. That is what MAGA is, because no amount of truth of him being corrupt, deceitful, and only looking out for his interests will change their mind. They lie constantly, and are literal traitors to our democracy. If Trump becomes president it will be clear to everyone that America has no integrity. Biden is just weak, and the POTUS cannot fix everything on his own. I believe Biden is trying his best in a very difficult time where America's power is slipping due to China. We cannot compete with China simply due to us fighting each other, and we simply don't have the population by ourselves. That last part is the key part, because Trump made us lose more respect in the world than any other president, and Republicans care not for our allies. We can't fight the CCP on our own. The Republicans have a mission to undermine. Me? I vote for Biden not due to liking him. Simply due to him being the best candidate. Trump is simply a fool.

  2631. No doubt Haiti has had it rough. Yet blaming the French for how it is now is outright ridiculous. They've been sovriegn for ages. They stopped paying the debt nearly a century ago. (Which was ridiculous. Why even keep paying it when you aren't trading globally.) I didn't realize Europeans were setting up gangs, and forcing them to kill each other or commiting crimes against each fellow man, woman, or child. Seriously, I'm seeing that story in Africa, and places like Haiti. They are responsible for their own situation in modern day when it comes to crime. But white man bad, eh? Those poor, poor people have no precedence. They just need to look into the mirror to see where the problem lays. Sad how the world gives no ** about them slaughtering each other. Not that I do, but I don't pretend to. Sent ten bucks during the earthquake. That is my participation for a life time. Next time I'll expect some sugar cane or something. No freebies.

Then it SUDDENLY goes to the previous direction before stopping again! How. Why.

  2633. The things that are inflicting us. Like inflation, are happening world wide. Let us not forget not even Trump himself won't be able to fix it, because it is GLOBAL issue. Trump simply sucked at geopolitics when he was president. There is a reason why Russia and China want Trump in office. Trump is the reason negotiations with Iran and North Korea crumbled. He pulled out of Afghanistan so badly that Biden would have had to resurge troops to get back everything. Worse he made our key alliances weaker! He made America and NATO look weak to Putin, and Putin took advantage of that. Biden is weak himself - I am not defending him. The master debater who lost a debate isn't as good as he thinks. He says Harris doesn't have a plan, but he doesn't have one either. . Let us not even mention the Fed and Congress are the ones who are really in charge of the econom and laws. All the POTUS, and runner ups act like they have control over everything. One day I wish a POTUS or candidate say. "Hey, congress makes the laws. POTUS enforces or executes them".

  2636. I would argue Napoleon didn't have an Airforce. I don't want to see WWIII, but I'm real curious what would happen if Ukraine actually had an AF on par with the West. Or like half the amount of modern planes the US has with their training. Something tells me artillery wouldn't have become such a big deal. Also if those behind designing lasers have their way. Standard artillery will be far less useful once powerful, reliable laser defense systems start popping up. It will be real interesting to see the laser versus artillery/missile arms race that will take place in the next one hundred years. Lasers will start shooting down shells. Shells will get armor, or they'll overwhelm laser systems. Lasers will get more powerful to defeat them and have more emitters. Artillery rounds will have thrusters to start maneuvering out of the beam enough time to dissipate heat, etc etc.

  2638. Sadly as much as I really want an airplane rocking a 155mm fully turreted gun sniping bitches from 100 miles away with advanced ballistic computers, and raining hell?! I gotta say the best use is definitely a cruise missile carrier to destroy CCP navies apparently massive fleet of Junks. Fly right above the water to avoid radar for as long as possible, possibly with a ton of decoys, and fire off cruise missiles. Hitting targets of significant value. Hell I'm pretty sure it can come from the north pole if refueled, and go through Russia to hit China! Oh God I would love to see that, although it would probably not be wise... It would be a huge "fuck you ya fake commies!" I still want to see a tank turret on a damn aircraft. Gut an Osprey, Cobra style, and put the Abraham Xs 120mm which I guess is half the weight of the m256 120mm.

  2639.  @Creationeer  Agreed on that being a better round for sure. I wonder how the 6.8mm is. Maybe that. Not sure. Wish they did more tests at long range with it. Very awesome gun none the less. I wonder what was going on with it shooting differently in bursts. It is crazy to me how much we don't know about it. I'm surprised no one has recreated it to sell. Feel like people would scoop a copy cat version in a heart beat! Actually I don't know what the laws are for burst. Probably a pain in the arse.

Making you inflexible. I've read the reports of engagements Chinese were in. Definitely buckled when firing happened in Africa.

  2642. I think Stock Holders are ruining America. None of em are ever happy with just gliding off dividends even after their investment paid for itself. Companies start off as good. Then instead of being happy with what they have they want more, and more. So they hire CEOs who's only job, and incentive is to get more regardless of long term consequences. Look at Boeing. Got ran into the ground by MBAs. More often than not the CEOs don't always fully understand the company or the consumer. On the other hand some companies like Arizona are successful, because the owners are happy with what they got. Their owner said basically that. Why change when it is working. I think what should at least happen is the people making choices should be held responsible. Whomever made Honey? All the higher ups making those choices should be the ones paying it back. So sick of corrupt people sitting there. Making horrible choices that either rip people off, or even get them killed (Boeing). And then running off with a huge exit bonus never to be held liable. There are no consequences for corruption, bad business, and it is wrong. I'm too dumb to figure out how to make a good system against it. I just know CEOs, large stock holders, and all should be held liable for the choices they make. Their personal bank accounts should be hit. Start making examples.

  2650. Agreed. We can observe, and easily correct land based mining. We just need to improve our methods, while also focusing on recycling the resources we do have. The earths crust has more than enough! We just need to improve technologies to reach what it has. I know for a fact the deeper we go the more we can find some of the rarer, heavier, and more lucrative elements. Plasma drills and technology look interesting. If we had a technology that could quickly, and easily just grab the nodules without kicking up dirt or devastating the ecosystem? While replacing the habitat with something so the animals can hide and breed? Sure I'm all for it then. It would then be like some forester practices in places where only selected trees are harvested leaving the forest largely intact.

I've tried looking up on studies for raw milk and there are only a scant few and not all are great or thorough. From what I've read about pasteurization is that there is a handful of stuff that takes a hit like Riboflavin but the others are so minor that it doesn't matter. I'll drink the Lactaid Protein and Fairlife because I'm immunocompromised with kidney and liver. Heptorenal syndrome. So raw milk is too risky for me as there is still a higher chance of infection. Same with eating medium rare steak. The only thing correct about the video is how much power in marketing these products have but that isn't unique to milk or raw milk. All the super foods and drinks have crazy claims.

  2658. This was a staged attack. Called kinetic diplomacy. It wasn't meant to do damage. It was meant to send a message, while at least hurting them economically. It wasn't cheap shooting down that drone. If Isreal is smart they'd let it slide. By the Iran. Iran has instigated them themselves. Having leaders coordinate a proxy war makes that space no longer neutral. That is what was happening in that Embassy. Also I believe Iran attacked Masad somewhere in Syria,, which was also why Isreal turned around and said okay, let us do this. Iran and Isreal don't have the logistics to attack each other. Both won. Isreal had many allies work together bringing down Iran. Iran apparently had their civilian, and proxy moral go up. Biden already said he wouldn't help Isreal if they escalate. So we should be done.

  2659. ​ @james_il Well people should leave her alone. Yet yeah, people need to get over themselves. Palestinians brought this on themselves. I remember when they took to the streets anytime a western country was hit shouting death to America, death to Isreal. I think Isreal is doing what any government would do. Yet it gets much more scrutiny then others. I don't like all the collateral damage. I don't like the current Isrealian government, nor the messed up things they do. Yet to me this needs to end. It took the allies drastic measures to end WWII, and it will take Isreal drastic measures to end the hate today for a better tomorrow. And all the collateral damage, and deaths I blame on Hamas. The ruling government that started this all in a ruthless attack that killed nearly 2,000 people. Lesson is don't attack Isreal. They will win, and they will take your land. You'd think Arabs would have learned their lesson after the Six Day War.

Seems like they are going for a interceptor type. Long range, long range missiles, etc. Not bad considering how new China is. Americas military - specifically the US Navy knows how we shot ourselves with the F 35. If the F-35 had more range it would be all what it was suppose to be, but it sacrificed that for everything else it seems. Again all fifth gen aircraft are amazing but time will tell just how amazing.

Might not get the best for the least amount of money but you help your own people and don't have to worry as much on geo-politics. I'm all for countries going the Isreal route. Build your own but work with the best. Isreal doesn't mind working with Raytheon for instance for missile defense and it benefits both countries significantly.

Hell, advanced fly wheels. All the chemical batteries from redox to lithium. There are so many varieties of storing energy that these energy towers using bricks are ridiculous when you do the calculations, and compare it. Again they work. The cost simply is not there. And you're using outrageously sized towers at 4 kilometers total. Yeah, like communities want these towers sprouting around them. Better have an tourist observation post. Maybe that will help the cost if you charge a fee, lol. I saw a company using sea water in a redox battery. Their projections were high, and I am curious what happened. It has been a year, but these infrastructure projects take time.

People in other countries need to take precedence for their own actions, especially after decades of being on their own. They don't. They infight, they are just as racist and cruel to each other. They exploit their own just as bad as white Europeans did. Yet they take no responsibility. They blame the past instead of what they are doing in the present. Like they are forever blaming white men for their troubles, and it is one of the reasons why nothing will ever change. The people of the Congo do this to themselves one way or an other. Their colonial history was brutal, but that excuse should no longer work since they are under their own free will.

Prejudice generalization of Chinese from China as a whole came around from living around these two large casinos called Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Tons of Chinese came there from NYC on busses every weekend. This was from early 1997 to 2012. They would steal TP, soap, spit and throw cigs on the ground and just took anything free. The workers - at a time they had free food for them. Amazing food too! Well one would come in with a plate and just load it up to where it was comical. Then walk away to put it somewhere or hand it off and who would come and do the same. They'd steal food anytime they could I was told and didn't pick up any messes. They legit stopped getting free food for all employees because of them.(80% were the Chinese workers) They were notorious for just everything like this. No respect, tipping, or being friendly. Loud and mean basically to other workers as well. It was crazy and they definitely weren't poor either. The casinos payed very well. They are just disrespectful culture who don't give a rats arse for anyone but themselves. Greedy little monkey paws.

  2669. Stop with the white guilt. Jesus. People have been conquering and fighting sach other since the first settlements came to be. I am part native american and my people were slaughtering and conquering each other way before colonization and not some peace loving hippies who knew no greed with perfect communities. No my people were going to war, taking captives, and scalping bitches way before any Europeans came on knocking. In fact we have a history of being brutal warriors. Any where I look in my history there is a history of war and territories being taken. I don't sit here and hate on a modern Brit for basically forcing my Irish ancestors. Yours too. My question is when do we bury the hatchet and move forward instead of pretending we are terrible people from a bygone era. I think if a country is on a piece of land for a few generations it is theirs. I have no rights to my ancestral lands regardless of proof and definitely don't demand it. This goes for allies and enemies alike. Japan lost some islands during WWII. Their loss. They went war and lost. Its been over half a century. Taiwan has been its own country for similar lengths. They are their own country. America like every country isn't perfect and only extremist think it is but there are extremist who just love to hate it for everything.

As an American who is forced to use both metric and empirical. 1L is 1KG equals 2.2 pounds. About 34 ounces for a liter and 124 ounces makes a gallon. A cup is 8 ounces and around 240ml.

Six months later some were arrested for being gangsta flashy. Idiots. I only spent my cut on rent for my family and buy things we needed. Would hand about 1,000$ to my grandpa. He was old school but would accept the money but shake his head in disappointment without saying a word. Felt like I was killing him.

  2676. Laws can change, and are not a holy text, created by God. In fact some founding fathers wanted us to redo the constitution every 20 years. Thomas Jefferson being the loudest. I agree with him. Some laws are impeccable, and timeless. Others might be a little outdated. Outside of that things should change with the times. The way I see it. People living full time in a stateless state was the problem! Then taxing the sons of bitches. How about no tax on residents. A restriction on population or something like that on top. If adding more representation is somehow going to break the country that is. I don't believe it would, but hey I am just a pleb. I think first past the post is a really crap system that should be changed anyway. If Republicans cease to exist since they could no longer Jerry meander their way out? The Democratic party would probably split themselves, or have a ton of infighting. I am not sure if more representatives would actually help the country or just keeping at 435 with more states. Jerry meandering is such BS anyway.

  2677. Yeah what the hell. Wait so their idea is to send the entire factory up each time? That is dumb as hell. Launch a bunch of modules to create a factory that stays in space that can be supplied by a ship that also can return products. Build a central hub that is basically command and control. Then work your way from there. When you're in construction or manufacturing - you don't bring the tools to the location or make tools over and over for each product run. That is so inefficient. What am I missing?

  2684.  @dalenmonroe6526  Sorry my brain read Pulse for whatever reason. Aye I know the difference! I wonder how much more thrust they do as I only ever hear about how efficient they are for both quite honestly and how they will change flight and blah blah blah and what a jet with it will do. I know NASA and DARPA along with the airforce and their cronies are all in it. Some say they are a lot further along than what they are letting off which wouldn't surprise me with today's world with Chinese spies and informants being caught seemingly every other day.

  2685. ​ @georgemavrides3434 He didn't say it was unique to the F 35. WITH that said. The F 35 is nearly God tier at it due to the sensor array. The greatest strength is that the things it lacks relative to other craft can be tossed to more specialized craft. It is the quarter back of the AF. It can hand off the ball to others, or run its self if it needs be. I feel like a lot of people think the air force duels other aircraft fairly or something. Like war is fought in a bubble!

  2687. Hah. I don't think plants would do well on Mars. I would say algae would be the best bet, but! I am not sure if Mars sun is good enough. Radiation also is a huge concern for plants on Mars. Not to mention gravity. This is why I think Venus is the better option since it has an atmosphere and gravity. Have some cloud cities! Giant floating outposts. All the energy, and heat you need.

  2688. Algae is the primary source of oxygen. Well maybe Dark Oxygen. Just use the machine with nuclear power. Bam, issue solved.

  2689. @tubecated_development  You are talking about the surface, and yeah that would be silly. Colonization on Venus involves living in the atmosphere which has three distinct layers. It is in the clouds! 31 miles or 52km up where I read is best where the temps, AND pressure are very similar to earth. Think it is 0-50c or 0-131f. Here is the kicker. A human inflatable colony would be able to stay in the air with just the air we need to breath. So basically we would float around, and use drones to do anything needed on the surface. You get the gist. Some people far smarter than me thought of it all, and so you should look into it. I think it is actually more viable than living like rats in Mars with crap gravity, and no atmosphere for protection. With that said it won't be easy. Living anywhere where the enviroment is so deadly sucks. Yet I bet my money we will see it.

  2690. ​@imathreat209It is political for sure. Republicans trying to move the HQ to Alabama for political purposes is one example even though it would cost billions plus take more than half a decade. Trump didn't sell it right either. People don't understand why it is required really or how it will help. Me? I'm worried military politics getting in the way like the Army trying to get some CAS, but USAF won't let them have attack craft with wings. Then terrible uniforms. Also the name is lame. Anyway curious how the BFGs larger diameter will influence the design the future of military satellites. I have heard physicist say it will be great to have a larger diameter for their instruments. Maybe one day we will have a squat rocket. Should name it the Fat Girl if so.

  2693. So I cannot speak for the chicken or the pig, but this also reminds me about an other fun fact about ruminates. (Cows, goats, etc) 85% of their feed is actual byproduct not fit for human consumption. Humans can't eat the entire plant, but our heffer friends. (Including yo momma) cam with their amazing digestive tracts. So would we probably fine other uses for that byproduct if cattle didn't exsist? Sure, but just saying. If anyone knows how much of a pigs or chickens diet is from byproduct then let me know.

Solid state for the sake of it I mean. 2025 is the year or 26. EVs are improving and getting cheaper. Dunno why they think they gotta pack every tech under the sky in them. I just want a simple EV with bare bone tech, but solid state batteries and axial flux motors. A Mita sized car. Either way I am excited. I like that I see a plant being built.

  2697. The way I see it. I won't believe in crypto overall until businesses feel the need to accept it as payment or lose out.

If the top 25 countries got together and said it is illegal then all my money is basically useless. So I'm not for or against it. Regular cash works fine for me at the moment.

Thanks for posting by the way, and didn't catch it till now. Someone else said it would be much heavier and expensive to put the spring inside the tube. I was thinking more like it would be useful for something due to being compact. Gotta try to look up the Harley one. Again thanks, and have a good day fellas (annnnd ladies).

  2700. Mine was crazt. Long story short. A crazy old hag looking lady walked around my apartment, while I struggled to move every fibre of my body thinking a lunatic is about to kill a loved one in front of me! It then walked around the bed, and crushed my heart slowly for like 30 seconds. All while I am screaming my lungs out internally, and focusing hard to move any muscle. I started to "dim" then I just pushed harder somehow, and broke through it regaining control. My body acted like it was shocked by lightning, becauseI leaped out of bed in the air from my back while giving this insane deep shout that I could not replicate. Anyway it vanished. My GF nearly died of a heart attack. It was so loud full of adrenaline. I felt so bad. Within the year my GF showed me how other people have seen the "hag". Which is honestly crazy as I never heard of it till then. Why woulld I and others visualize the same thing. Also I honestly think something was going on with my heart. I felt like my heart was restrcting, and there was pain.

  2701. A year later and Russia still doesn't have sir superiority.

So many contradictions from different sources.)

Yet they want to have valuable products cross Iraq and loads of unstable countries who are fighting ISIS, other terrorists, and time and time again are at war? I don't even want my goods passing through Turkey. Let alone other countries... You know they will just hold the routes as leverage the second they become important. Demanding or confiscating our towels and sheets created by children lovingly in Asia. It makes zero sense. We need to act like we are in the future. I want to see mile wide blimps floating carrying cargo. Bigger and much faster ships along with bigger and deeper ports. At least with ships you benefit from the square cubed law. Maybe cleanse the middle east in a nuclear fire. Repopulate with Eskimos/Innuit. They don't seem to beef with anyone, and are neutral. We are melting their ice sheets so it is only fair! Jokes aside I see shipping just going around Africa, and South America.

  2706. ​ @jont2576  Russia did take on Germany because Russia was supplied by America. Germany on the other hand was cut off from the world basically- they lost the war when they lost Africa. Russia did bloody and win the war with Germany but only because a good portion of their resources were tied up in the west and their industry was being annihilated by strategic bombing. America literally had the largest naval force ever assembled on the door of Japan. We nuked Japan to save lives - Including Japanese lives. Japan would have fallen but it would have annihilated the entire Japanese people and cost hundreds of thousands of more lives including Russian. (Stalin wasn't going to sit back and not take more pieces of land.) If America went to war with Russia we could build up in a Europe unscathed and attack through multiple areas. We can also attack through Alaska and Japan at the same time. Russia can attack America from... Where? They have no friends in the Western hemisphere. Russia can't even take Ukraine... Sorry... Russia is pathetic now. Those oligarchs took all the wealth and blew it without keeping their strength. Ukraine won't be taking Crimea. All the civilians there seem to be Russian now anyway since all the Ukrainians basically were leaving since 2014.

  2707. Wait till we get quad copters equipped with motars. I can picture them. Hundreds of tubes being fired into the air from a truck, and then deploying propellers to gain altitude for required range. Then hover in place before launching payload, and returning to be reloaded by some automated system. Just kidding. Sort of. I do think drones launching motar sized shells will happen though.

  2711. Thought some of these were with underage people. Correct me if I am wrong. Like are they really trying to defend that it is okay they had consent? That would be wild and gross. "15 year old seemed thrilled. Enjoyed the coke". You know I've seen many women in my life basically regret their night, and actions. Especially when drugs are involved. I've seen men do it to. I have regretted sex while being blacked out the next day myself, and felt dirty. I don't go out and say that girl rap+d me. I take responsibility for my actions on drugs, and what I did. So I am sure some of the allegations are from some hos who got used up, and tossed. Didn't get what they wanted. BUT! We all know Diddy was a scumbag. There has been hushed whispers forever now. It is such a shame things like this can happen. I think it is shameful how many people knew or had suspicions, and did nothing. If something happens to you like this. You have to go out, and tell people the truth so it doesn't happen to others. You gotta take the bad, and make it good. Revenge murder or castration is quite alright to me, but sadly not to the law. We should make Piddy a Eunuch after a jury of his peers find him guilty. Chop both his testies, and the wang. His birth certficate changed to Pee Diddler. Thrown into the toughest jails where inmates rule. And all the real victims get his money.

  2712. Australia did the right thing taking the US/UK deal, and declining Frances. I don't say that since I'm American. I say that due to France literally at the end saying, "Ah nah Australia isn't capable of building basically any part of the sub." I think they were also withholding technology too on it. (At least were trying to). That deal was terrible, and insulting. Australia absolutely has the capability if you gave them the resources to do it. That is what the US deal allows. It is the best of both worlds. You get a lot of the technology from both the UK and US, with the benefit of the majority of the submarine being built, and maintained by Australians. You create amazing jobs, and can maintain it on your own. Also a submarine that isn't just for defense. Australia as much as some want is a part of the world. Anyway when I learned more about Frances deal it kind of irritated me for some reason. Basically saying they aren't good enough to build their own ship. Love Australians. Need to visit my aunt there.

  2715. I'm a liberal and damn I wish they would stop. One we have bigger issues to fry like mental health. Ya know the systemic issue with violence in America. Two, laws don't stop people from doing a damn thing. You'll just create a bigger black market for law-abiding citizens. Three not everyone is a stones throw from a police officer. They also have wild animals that can be a danger to their family and animals. Four - ATF is the worse law enforcement agency by far. Five - my biggest fucking gripe with anti gun folks? They don't ever include the massive amount of times a firearm or weapon for that matter has stopped a crime from happening through brandishing! Just the show of force to deescalate happens all the time yet isn't reported. Should take away suicides. Guns are just an easier to way to do it that is all, but won't solve the core issue.

  2716. I agree with you. This mission sounds insane just to go to an asteroid... To do what? Walk around it? Say we've done it? Bring a few KGs worth? Get a robot to do that. Feels like we could use the money for missions that will be more useful to humanity. Hell I would rather see a mission to mine it. Just something other then walk around it and take a few samples. With that said I am all for nuclear everything. I was wondering how much nuclear fuel is actually used? I ask that since if we could somehow make a super safe container for the nuclear fuel to get to space then install it on whatever space craft? Well that would make it much easier for NASA to actually start using nuclear craft. How about dem lazers?! Build a 100 GIGAWAT giant LAZER with a Z pointed at spaceships with super nano materials for propulsion! No need for engines except thrusters! (JP)

  2717. I just hope they are investing just as much money on making their own stuff. The war and quickly changing geopolitical landscape leaves countries vulnerable if you cannot create your own. Having your manufacturing capabilities for most part is super important I've realized and once its gone it is hard to get back. US COMPANIES also need to fulfill their fuckkng obligations. God knows we the taxpayers and other countries have given them enough money. Unacceptable to be " lol rdy whn dun soon kkbye." Chop chop!

  2718. Most people forget the main reason was Putin wanted to cement his legacy. He wanted to be held up with those like Stalin or Peter the Great. The legend who brought back Russia to a feared global power who makes the west quake in their gay dance boots. Who's name would echo throughout history as some Moscovian savior. Yet he doesn't realize Moscow is just a glorified gas station who will for the second time run their country into the ground due to the military costs. PS - people need to stop comparing this war to how a war with NATO would be. A NATO war would actually involved an air force that can destroy anti air defenses, and dominate a given area. Artillery becomes real easy pickings when an air force is let loose hunting on it. Also for the minefields? NATO Would be like "lol, let us go around through an other country"

  2723. ​ @AndreVictorGoncalves Then show us the statistics from your sources. Funny thing also about China with infrastructure. They literally are in debt with many projects from building projects that was never required. All for fake economic growth. Then you have tofu dreg construction issues causing things that are built to be considered unsafe so they are useless. Also lying or corruption in China is huge. Government loves to save face from the lowest echelons all the way to the highest. They like to lie so their districts are doing better then they are. Or flat out refuse to give any negative information like unemployment rates. I think China is too big to fail or fall, and will continue to grow at a much much slower rate. Which sucks for those in the remote villages. Difference between the West and China is the west admits its faults. While the Chinese will pollute 80% of the ground water, and say everything is healthy, or make food with sewer oil! Also Xi is no Deng. Deng was an amazing leader who didn't alienate China.

  2727. ​ @havoxaerthis7904 So hypersonic vehicles create a sheathe of plasma around them, which absorbs radar signals, regardless of material of the actual missile. I think they also absorb radio, and GPS. Ironically that same heat and plasma that would make them otherwise very stealthy also makes them light up like a comet to other forms of detection! There will be a trail of heat. So stealth really won't be a strength, sort of. I can see a hypersonic missile that cruises stealthily till at a specific moment before accelerating. It will be an interesting arms race to say they least. I still think missiles and guns will be the better option against hypersonic. Lasers for everything else. Need to start making 120mm naval guns that fire at 200rpm, sending guided flak.

  2728. The only truth is that this was no mere accident. Occums Razor says it was Putin, and that is my personal belief. I concede there is a chance it could have possibly been a third party who wanted to stir up the pot. Or maybe the people including him were still plotting, and Putin saw a chance to take them all out at once. The only thing that surprised me is how long Prig lived after the coup, and just how blatant this was. Planes just don't become fireballs in the sky, and so Putin was probably sending a message. Or maybe he will fake his death! It is my belief he will bust through the doors during a press conference on a magnificent white steed, with one of his wigs looking like Jesus himself, dual wielding two AK with total control in each hand, a Cuban cigar in his mouth with an RPG strapped to his back. He will then charge forward raking Putins guards screaming "for MUTHA RUSSIA!" and leap at the now fleeing Putin to tackle him before a one sided battle of fisticuffs takes place. After physically dominating Putin, he will punch a hole through his chest and rip out nothing but cash... He will then look at the Camera and say, "Putin had nothing but greed in his heart!' .

Personally I would buy a Lucid over a Tesla (Well of this writing. The freaken KIA EV6 GT looks sick. I hated Kias my whole life, but that thing is a super car for cheap! Shit range though, but looks awesome especially in real life. Seen one, and was like the hell is that? Someone said it could be a Kia, because they have a new logo. I was like the hell!? Nooooooo. Then I remembered I am an adult) I'd never buy a Tesla though simply due to the interiors. I don't like how empty they look. I don't like just having just a tablet either. It was cool back in 2016. Not anymore. Anyway I hope Lucid, Rivian, and other companies succeed. Having competition is good.

Never in the world since I've been alive has our military budget or weapons been put to such good use as they have been in Ukraine. Dollar for dollar we are getting the deal of a generation. They are bleeding Russia dry with so many disadvantages. It is insane how well they've done honestly. I actually don't understand why Republicans support Isreal as much as Ukraine. What happened to that party? They've completely lost their collective minds since Obama became president. They want to cozy up to Putin who would like nothing else better than to destroy America or weaken us. It is wild. Reagan and Nixon must be rolling in their graves. I will take a Nixon clone please. Even someone like Reagan as far as military spending went.

  2734.  @jjjr.1186  I didn't say China had more resources. I said they have enough resources with the exception of oil. They have rare earths locked down at the moment. Most of what you said is true. Like I said China will over match us in the future at this rate. Look at the rate they are pumping out platforms to counter us. It isn't even comparable at all. The number of stealth jets will over take us soon, and you realize that right? Their supply chains are efficent. Purposed built. Ours are not, and scattered. Our Military industrial Complex is inefficient compared to theirs. Especially when they keep stealing designs. Again the cost parity IS leagues different. Ours is focused on profit. Nickle and diming us. Chinas is focused on production. They are pumping out versions of their own much faster for less, period. It doesn't have to be better. Just good enough or not trash. War is a also a numbers game, especially when you have to cross an ocean to attack. The CCP can swivel on a dime. Force workers to do what they want without bureaucracy. They are not spending billions in military conflicts over seas. Much of our weapons goes to our allies. They have over a billion more people. Their schools are expanding, and are doing better. I'm sorry, but it is people like you who underestimate China, and the reason we will lose. They are catching up fast. If their long range missiles perform as they claim. Then US carriers can't even attack China without being vulnerable to getting hit themselves. US power is waining, because we aren't focused. China for all its woes does not have this issue. They are catching up very very very fast. I give it ten years, especially when our companies care more for profit then anything else.

One of the best spy apparatuses in the world completely caught off guard by HAMAS? Ya know people they have eyes on 24/7... Give me a break. Welp, HAMAS dug their own grave. Just because you can attack doesn't mean you should.

  2737. What is crazy to me is how many reports I've read where they go in completely seemingly untrained for this type of warfare. They'll go in with high spirits, and get completely wiped out. Either due to advanced Western weaponry, drones, mines, and artillery. I remember one where there was a video of 100 plus newly mobilized conscripts celebrating. Amped up like they were about to go win wars. Then it showed the next day one of the few survivors saying they got wiped out. I think a HIMARs killed them. I wanna say it was 87 men. That is horrifying to me. Then you got Russia using them as cannon fodder. Anyway yeah I think a ton go in sort of unaware what they are getting into. Even the veterans from other wars. Then again to some of these conscripts were desperate for money. That is a large sum for some sons.

  2741. When they are ready and when Russia is the most vulnerable. I hope they do it without basically many suspecting it like the fall offensive. Basically have units on ready and once an exploit is found they take it as far as they can while keeping Russia reeling as they aim for main objectives like natural choke and supply points. Let us face it. Ukraine will have one hell of a time winning this war for as long as Russia can just keep sending crap their way. Russia can live off their natural even if they cannot actually manufacture the best like they use to. Ukraine cannot do this and Western aid will slowly dry up. Europe as a whole is still not the cohesive or united state it should be. They don't have the will power of Poland.

  2743. Nestle is one I can get out from under. They legit should be tried for war crimes. God's knows what I've used on a basis not at home by medically. They own a drink called Nova Source which is pretty much irreplaceable to me. Taste great but more importantly is calorie dense with fat and protein. I have hepatorenal syndrome and so I am limited severely by liquids since I cannot create urine... Even when I could I still should've limited my liquid due to ascites. Anyway it is 470 calories in 8 oz, and isn't too harsh or thick to drink. It's truly amazing stuff for me. Just wish Nestle wouldn't get profit from it. Also remember a lot of large brands do not actually run each of their brands the same. Meaning Frito Lay may own a company and receive profits but the people who specifically are involved or create your product aren't always treated badly. So yeah it is an issue. This is why we need more laws especially for things like Nestle who hire mercenaries and straight up destroy countries. Capitalism maybe the best option but shit like that needs to get stomped and people need to be severely punished - not just a damn fine. You knowingly destroy lives? Well taste your own medicine.

  2746. ​ @ElderWillows What is crazy is the YF 23 had even better stealth than the F 22. Wait till maybe not sixth gen but seventh with X 65 technology that allows an aircraft to fly using no flaps or physical flight surfaces. Basically just flying with compressed air or I guess electrical pulses with multiple thrusters around the aircraft. No idea how an electrical pulse can work that way. I think it was about super heating the air. Add RDE (rotating detonation engines)? The future will be wild.

  2748. ​ @Astra2 It wasn't a complete success. Come on. Half the ship disintegrated which they didn't plan for. Yeah they hit their main goals, but that shouldn't have happened. How is it going to be reusable when half the rocket needs to be fixed. With that said... The wrote the software to control the rocket are on an other level. The fact the main flight surfaces basically changed shape from disintegrating, and it still landed is just INSANE. I don't think even the engineers expected it to be able to handle that. Truly amazing. That flight software must be worth billions after that show. I bet NASA engineers wished they had that sheer computing power. Oh on top. Boeing a went downhill when MBAs started taking over. We need to start supporting smaller companies in the arms and space industry. Lockheed and Boeing are too comfortable. They are basically subsidized on purpose. I think Elon wild Twitter talk makes him a security risk in the eyes of the government. What we should do. If any US manufacturer can make a part with the same or better specs for cheaper? The government then can void a contract and give it to them. Boeing and Lockheed are too comfortable with hand outs since the end of the cold war ended so many companies.

  2750. Electric planes have an easier time being made for STOL or even VTOL. We already have companies trying to design "air taxis". If Airbus or Boeing got behind it. I'm sure they could make a decent bus sized plane that could haul passengers with a very short runway. Of course batteries, and super capacitators need to get better. I say capacitators, because I hear they are incredible useful for flight on having extreme power for certain aspects like take off. Anyway that is the way I see it all going forward. Still think we should focus in high speed rails for dense areas.

  2751. ​ @WillCarter1976  What. Our militaries doctrine is based off of gaining air power and supremacy at war... The AF is basically an artillery and logistic branch - and will be relevant unless SF takes over in the distant future. I assure you the AF is not irrelevant nor does anyone question their mission. Unlike the Marines. The whole "Army gets no wings" and inter branch fighting needs to stop though. It is so childish that i couldn't fathom it was even a thing but it is. I cannot wait to see the Valor attack variant. Hope it is slimmed down much like the Cobra as well.

  2753. A friend and I saw an aircraft/UFO that I later found out looks similar to something called the Tr3-B. Look it up. It was Groton Connecticut 2006ish. It hovered silently for 5 minutes in the night sky where I could see the silhouette, and lights. 3 lights each corner with one weird one in the middle. After 5 minutes of us being like what is that. It took off like a bullet suddenly. Not a rocket or aircraft. I saw no plume or heard anything. It headed north before heading over the tree line, and then suddenly popped out heading east. That turn must have been HARD. It was only out of sight for a moment! Then it went over the horizon. The entire process took under 10 seconds from hovering to over the horizon. We could never figure out if was small, and silent. Or large, and high up. Yet just last year Sandboxx news Alex Hollins told his story of seeing one too which is just insane. He is a respected journalist. He said it was massive! I cannot explain that, and I won't. My friend says aliens, or dimensional beings. I don't know about that. I think Alex, my friend, and I saw the same thing. Yet I can't be certain if Alex saw a different craft. I swear by this story. Things like that make me agnostic life, and my friend crazy, lol. I just hope it is ours. Never seen any real UFO again sadly.

  2757.  @Shadowboost  So around 320ships instantly sunk. Let us even cut that in half. Still 160 ships sunk. That was just the B2s. It doesn't include all the F18s, F 15s, F 16s, and F35s that may be in range to hit them either from Japan. (And eventually B21s) It is really no wonder why the CCP isn't keen on invading Taiwan. It would be suicide. Nice thing about the Quick sink is it can go on every bomb we use much like a JDAM. 500 pound bombs and up, and I am positive that test used two 500 pound bombs, which are the smaller end,and it wrecked what is essentially a small carrier. Amphibious Ships are quite large. It doesn't include our cruise missiles launched from Rapid Dragon, and other aircraft. (Or Taiwan using HIMARS). Almost forgot Submarines with their new Tomahawks that can also strike naval vessels. Or torpedos too which I know absolutely nothing about. I don't wish for war. Yet if we do go to war I want it all recorded. For uh prosperity.

The movie gets the deployment down! Just missing missiles full of the drones!

  2761. ​ @joelau2383 South Korea is a mountainous country dimwit and India already tested it in high altitudes. Chinas artillery is nothing special. Literally nothing about it except that it is made in China - probably with poor shoddy steel like everything else China makes. China can't innovate. China just copies other tech and can't even make a damn decent GPU with their government backing them.

  2762. Tons of other countries. The Chinese are terrible trading partners. On top of that. They even go out of their way to steal with IP theft, hacking, and commit corporate espionage. It may hurt in a lot of sectors. In others it may even benefit long term, because maybe Germany consumers will start spending more money on German or European products for example. Many rare sarth mines are going up across the world. Technology is improving on how we mine it as well. Cobalt is the biggest issue, and China undermined Japan on getting mines there in the Congo, which does hurt. Since Cobalt is so rare anywhere else, however! Scientists are striving hard to eliminate its widespread usage.

  2768. A failure on Ukraine and NATO more than anything over the performance of helicopters IMO. They didn't have anti air that could reach out or even seemingly detect the helicopters. They were literally sitting ducks. I have no idea what they thought would happen. That pissed me off. Question is still if Ukraine can ground helicopters to the back lines only then imagine how they'd perform against NATO who has a slew of anti air weapons. Who has aircraft that can perform SEAD, and out range the helicopters. I don't think modern helicopters have the range anymore. They'll get picked off at runways against a foe like NATO. Because you aren't comparing helicopters by themselves. You are comparing them to other weapons. Your comparing if one helicopter is worth 500 to 1,000 drones. Or some ATACMs. Things like that. Drones just simply maybe better in that regard.

McDonald's just lost money, and now are scrambling. Lots of news on how big of a deal that is. McDonald's became too overpriced for everyone. When you squeeze a buisness like that it will fail long term. They acted like they are a Starbucks of fast food or something. Yet their menu is absolutely trash, and they don't offer any premium products. Not even spicy chicken nuggets or spicy fries. How are they going to succeed? You want some good junk food? Burger Kings fiery mozzarella fingers with mariana sauce. Only fast food I can eat as a pretty picky eater. Not by choice, but I highly recommend them. Super easy to digest and eat.

Loads of people get sent either malfunctioning items or scary advanced counterfeits that look exactly like the item, but just doesn't perform. My friend got beat for a GPU that way from a seller with 20 five star reviews that were probably fake. In fact everyone I met says AliExpress is where you go to gamble. When it works it is great, but the chances of fruad are high, and it isn't always easy to fix the stuff. Especially if it gets damaged. If you live closer to China. It isn't as big of a deal I am sure. Not worth the risk to save 20$.

I do want to see us go back to the concept with hybrid ammo. Uses gunpowder to fire. Then uses rocket powder to increase the velocity. Or! Or make it a ram jet. That would be truly nuts yet you'd need a pretty big bullet. Make .50 caliber bullets that fly at 10k fps would be dope.

Well you probably shouldn't be flying near a war zone ya know? I would take that as collateral damage any day of the week as terrible as that sounds. We absolutely should be using 7x7s for our military. Well if we could make a more efficient jet for things like refueling then I'm all for it, yet I feel like that would cost billions, and it wouldn't get the benefit of cheaper parts or maintenence. I am surprised we haven't attempted to launch one off an aircraft carrier.

Personally I don't understand IFVs that don't carry at least some soldiers but that's me. Just build a light tank at that point. I do like Russias idea of the Armarga of building a hull and automated turret with room to upgrade from the 125mm to 152mm in the far future. If they could actually build the damn thing that is. Think the Army should do that though. Find a hull and pump money into making a solid reliable hull with a good suspension armor/engine that and then work on the turret and weapon systems for said hull. We shall see with these new projects though.

Always saying how America is a poor ally due to helping Pakistan from time to time. When India deals with Russia daily, and cut off exported food to those in Africa, without a second thought.

  2800. Yes I always loved rail. It is my favorite. We need rail ASAP and the government should make it cheap like every other country does. It is an investment! I just wanted to point out that the highways were made for the Military first and foremost. Secondly highways were perfect for America when built. It is geographically massive and the population density isn't like China, Korea, Japan, and Europe. So we need to stop comparing ourselves to them but it is unnacceptable that our coasts do not have major high speed lines that are world class in speed and reliability. We should already have multiple lines connecting Boston to NYC, Philly, to DC, Athens, and down to FL. Basically the I 95 but in rail form. The environment benefit is a plus but we should be talking about the economic benefits this could give many Americans and how it can improve the quality of life for many. Also our cargo line is still top in the world. I didn't know this and hear they are also part of the issue on top of the lobbyists and bureaucratic mess.

His point when showing the data is China is beyond Russia in economic strength. Which is true no matter what data set you choose. Russia is a nuclear armed gas station being invaded by one of the poorest countries in Europe, lol. China by extension is an economic power house. The funniest thing about this. China isn't friends with Russia. They are bleeding them dry for cheap resources like gas. Russia showed how desperate it is for oil by building their half of the second pipeline. When going to finish the deal it soured last time I heard. It is rumored Xi wanted the same discounts on gas that Russian citizens get! Putin wasn't happy.

  2803. No the new thing is tossing the bomb from miles up AND out! Especially the new glide ones. I heard they can now do it with unguided bombs as well and become decently accurate. Sort of like what the Russians are doing with their rocket salvo attacks. I can't remember the name of the maneuver. So if they can't fly high enough for whatever reason they can at least fly far enough.

  2805. I was just talking about price grouging in the defense industry. It is insane honestly how a Stinger can cost more even if you include inflation. Or what some parts cost that can be made much cheaper for the same quality. We should be able to produce them and other technologies for Wal Mart prices damn it. How does decades old tech get more expensive? We are going to lose to China. We cannot compete with their sheer numbers. Their military gets more for each dollar spent. They pay their soldiers and vets much less. The contractors bend to the government, and not the other way around. If you actually compare purchasing power parity I think it is called - America and China actually spending similar amounts. America needs FOCUS. We need to stop being greedy or else Russia and China will win this cold war. Do not underestimate China as they will surely surpass us in ways, and some say they already have. One key strength of America of Russia and China is no one wants to live or be assimilated there. We should be making it easier for educated, specialized, and motivated people to come here from all over the world to live. Yet we make it difficult for many - especially Indians or Indonesians. Basically countries with a backlog of X many cannot come here. To those who complain about aliens coming here, and taking your "jobs"? Well you have to earn a job damn it, and may the best win. I am ranting. I just hate how... Polarized and unfocused our country is. I want to see us be the best we can be, and I think since the boomer era we have made progress, but lost some good qualities that made America powerful in the first place. We need some charismstic younger leaders that are not just frail like Biden or batshyte insane like Trump.

  2806. Agreed. Nature is very constrained based on the animal something descended from. Mammals are limited to generally four limbs, and a tail outside of what... An elephant? Just one example. I don't see anything can be better than a rotating blade for a big boats. Whether it is a water jet or a standard propeller. Spinning a rotor is very effienct these days, and simple.

China is vulnerable to lack of oil and their large population size might work against them. Ww3 it would be I think. Whoever starts it will be taking out satellites ASAP. So let's hope it doesn't.

  2811. Source? Russia would never give up their space capabilities. I mean they are not sending western things up anymore, but that is it? So I am sure that was a blow to them, and hurt some programs here in the West. Yet outside of that they seem to be investing more into their space capabilities. From nukes to rockets which trickles to other space endeavors. They have one of the best rockets you know? Think the Soyuz. Tons of western space programs, or such were canceled due to the war. Yet their skill, and know how is still there.

  2817. Only a few were that naive. Gatling inventor comes to mind. I'm sure people working on the Manhattan Project. Anyone that is grounded in reality knows war will continue for a very long time as long as people rule. There will always be a new weapon. Even when there is abundance we fight. We become envious. As long as traits like greed, envy, jealously, and hatred exsist there will be war. Also commercialized war has existed for a very long time. We called them Guilds who made siege weapons for instance. Not Blacksmiths, but literal Sword Smiths, Armorers, and Mercenaries existed. I'm sure the best flint, spear, and bow makers back before writing were valued in their tribes too. Especially bow makers.

Don't understand how countries rich in resources stay third world.

  2820. Quite honestly I was hoping it would kick off something but they are cracking down HARD. Just saw a video of people walking around asking those about their opinion and legit the police legit wrote something down in Russian so they grab her to bring her to jail. This other lady comes up and they ask her. She is like I am happy for Russia but I think- and bam was scooped up so quick haha. It was almost like someone made a political comedy of something. Can't make this shit up - Russian politics is crazy. They are executing troops in Russian army who showed even a little support. Those videos are sad. Prigozhion... If he and other Russian troops in it live for the next five years I will be very very surprised.

  2821. I have double organ failure, and all 2022 all the doctors I met back then wrote me off as dead. In fact I just saw a psych who I actually remember say that he didn't think I'd make it... Okay thanks doc! Anyway so maybe this gives me some perspective. One key problem I think is the negativity bias shown by the internet at large. Including this video. I mean... We live in the wildest timeline. You all have nostalgia. The past was even more lame than today! We spent a lot of time doing nothing before technology. We can't blame tech for the negativity. Nor your habits. Who cares if companies try to sell ya something. Don't buy. Move on. People bothering ya online? Tune out. Technology is great. What is a problem is technology is moving faster than society, and law. This is absolutely a problem. Yet I dunno. We certainly need to keep billionaires out of the White House.

  2822. Nah kids are more likely to eat a pill if it is colorful. Sadly kids have died from dead beat parents leaving their scripts around you know? Anyway fear mongering has become so bad that they don't even really do trick n treat here. They do some BS called Trunk N Treat... Where kids go to a parking lot with people who hand out candy from their trunks. This year I got fed up with it. Kept asking wait, did some kids die from razors here recently or drugs? Everyone said no. The most dangerous thing on Halloween for kids is getting hit by cars. Them basically not being able to see with masks, being excited to cross the street to the next house without looking, and people being intoxicated. So yeah. Halloween is such a joke to what it was 30 years ago when I was a kid.

  2824. I'm on Reddit today trying to figure out why the hell there are no serial hybrids (hybrids where the ICE is a generator). I figured you could make the car run on the electric motor while forgoing a huge heavy battery pack. Basically the engine and fuel is the battery. Get the best of both worlds. Using a rotrary engine for such a vehicle sounds perfect. I'm a layman, but in my mind I figured it would have the benefits of an EV without the range anxiety.

  2826. How about we stop letting economist run the world, and have scientist or engineers. Once robots and AI become a thing of course. I think moving away from capitalism is the way to go. We will still need humans. We are still here. We still can destroy technology if we revolted. Billionaires cannot ignore us. AI requires massive facilities. May the best AI win right? One day we will let AI control the resources. Have a universal income, and then be able to contribute to gain more. Socialism with the carrot capitalism gives.

  2827. Super Carriers might become a liability if we don't improve our missile defense technology and get the stand off distance we need. That means 10MW lasers and the new FAXX with the improved stand off missiles they are developing. Super Carriers are massive and while I don't think China has the capability to easily sink one on a war footing at the moment? They eventually will get their kill chain down for their missiles and perfect it. Even though carriers are still one of fastest military ships moving in 3d space and their top burst speed is classified? Missile technology is catching up where they won't even need GPS or a laser to hit one. Making a few hundred hypersonic missiles to launch at a single super carrier is well worth the cost. Even if we could pump out ten super carriers a year? You still need to recruit and train the 5 to 6 THOUSAND crew to operate it... Many jobs like those with the nuclear reactor just can't easily be trained. The destruction of one super carrier and it's air wing would be an absolute disaster. The thing about land based missiles? They can be as big as they want and so they will always have the benefit of range.

  2829. Hydrogen is a terrible fuel. We have no infrastructure. Methane if we have to use a fuel. Volumetric density, and voltage suck on hydrogen, and the tanks are as heavy as batteries. Storing, making, and transporting it suck. Look at Toyota Mira versus an EV now. So unless some magical technology comes along, and fixes the storage volumetric issue. I don't see hydrogen ever working. Hydrogen is pushed by fossil fuel companies.

  2832. I feel America. Centralized nations over fuedal societies. First the renaiassance. Age of exploration, age of sail, and then the industrial age all on a huge continent with nigh untapped resources? Then add in all the turmoil in Europe which means millions of immigrants looking to expand? We were in the right place at the right time. Then our leaders consolidating power as Europe continued to battle each other in more profitable colonies. America has a lot to owe to the way Britain's colonies worked. We weren't just used or abused as badly as those in South America. If you look at colonization and the differences between how the powers ran their colonies you'd see Britain was much different in America/Australia then say Spain and Portugal who effects are still felt today in South America. Hell the East Indie trading company alone was a nation without a border and changed the world. Not sure how the Dutch operated.

Shouldn't have to wipe out an entire village just to hit a military target hah. If the west really did send in the big guns from our MBTs to our aircraft Russia would be screwed. We won't give Ukraine weapons that can attack Russia because we don't want the war to escalate as Putin has threatened nukes. Every Ukraine victory you just throw a tantrum like a little girl and saturate bomb civilians. What happened to Russia? When did you become like little children? Just get out of the Ukraine they obviously don't want ya in it. No need for Russian or Ukrainian soldiers and civilians dying needlessly for the big baby Putin who only cares about his legacy.

  2840. Which in ten or twenty years max there is no reason to drive an ICE outside novelty. Like someone trying to drive a Model T. The electric motor is just superior in every metric outside the fact we need batteries. Which are improving year and out, and may see a generational leap if development continues with solid state. He probably realizes the third world will always be there i guess.

  2841. As much as I detest much of social media. It should not be held responsible for the actions of people. Unless FB was actively silencing others and promoting it. Then sure . People have the responsibility themselves. Responsibility to filter misinformation, and responsibility to not act on hateful actions.

  2842. Sure. For new cars EVs are the way to go. Battery recycling is getting a ton of investment, and some facilities are already up and running. He surprisingly skipped one thing. Refining gas to burn into electricity at a power plant is so much more efficent then refining it. Compared to shipping it everywhere to gas stations, and using it in ICE which are incredibly inefficient compared to electrical motors. So using what we do pull from the earth wisely is what we should be doing yeah? Well EVs are the best solution for that by far. Secondly renewable only recently became cheaper than fossil fuels. The technology actually still has inprovement too, so it will get cheaper. We can turn old fossil fuel plants into nuclear too by the way, reducing the exorbitant price on that. We really should push nuclear anyway. Sure changes to infrastructure would have to happen. Yet our grid needs an overhaul in America anyway so we might as well beef it up. Charging? Well the market and government will find a solution to this. Yeah cities will have chargers like how they have parking meters, but whatever. Cities should focus on getting cars out of the denser areas, and making them bike friendly, and easy to not need a vehicle. None of these are even insurmountable. We could do it in two decades if we focused on it. Battery chemistries like solid state are here, and lithium air are on the horizon which offer potential increases in energy density ten to fifty times more at half efficiency! With those even Electric Planes will be a no brainer except for intercontinental flights. They are becoming cheaper, hold more charge, charge faster, lighter, use less space, more reliable, and last longer... ICE doesn't have much of a future. So with all that said it is a no brainer to get off fossil fuels for us regular plebs ASAP. For long haul trucking? Trains! Ha yeah right. Series hybrids! (Where the ICE is a generator). No idea why only start ups like Edison Motors are doing it. He disappointed me by skipping the power plant efficiency part. He is always thorough. Oh screw anti EV and super pro EV crowd too. EVs have issue like cost, and charging. Yet let us be realistic. Most of us don't drive hours straight every day. God forbid people get inconveinced for having to sit for 20 to 45 minutes to charge. PS this guy online has solar and wind at home. Also has a solar trailer, and a portable wind generator. Once he gets his Tesla Truck (when lol)) he plans to go camping, charging his truck plus whatever when he goes fishing, hunting, or camping. Anyway anti EV or pro ICE are just as bad as the anti ICE. Both extremist are annoying. Me? I'm for whatever technology makes sense, and ICE really doesn't as batteries continue to improve which saddens me.

  2843. You and the guys in the video are making complicated entire systems. Your idea works for large infrastructure. Not individual homes. In fact why do any of that or this. When you can just insulate your very well. Then get ever cheaper solar plus batteries, and just deal with the loses without all the headache? I don't see how bringing specialized people to make customized solutions is the future. Unless made from.the ground up to be like that. So to me. I'd be like screw all that. I will just insulate my home, and build it well,, and get an extra solar panel. It might not super duper efficient, but it works for the sake of it. Yet it would work just the same. I really like newer passive heating and cooling, with the combination of renewables, and batteries. It would be so much cheaper and easier than this one day.

I'm not sure if China has such a system in place but they probably do. Mutually assured destruction is the only thing holding back nuclear warfare and I pray it stays that way. Let's hope to universal defense system. PS I thought you wrote 475mt. I was like no fucking way they are that big just one launched would destroy the earth.

  2847. ​ @kdrapertrucker Who cares about speed if you do not have stealth. You would be blown out of the sky before you could even use any of your weapons. Anyway radar absorbing paint and ceramics have fixed this issue while increasing radar absorbing potential. They also have become much cheaper, and easier to maintain. That is always what kept newer jets from having more speed than older aircraft. I am looking forward to sixth gen aircraft personally. Especially this aircraft. The F 35 was such a mistake even though it is a really great aircraft. They should have at least just had two variants, and made an aircraft specifically for the USMC.

Just drinking a coffee with the sun rising floating in the clouds.... Worth the cost!

  2849. Also they are more like ICBMs that boost and after that use lifting body to glide and manuever to the target. They don't have a level cruise missile flight path like America's hypersonic missiles in current development are suppose to. Yet I hear tons of conflicting data so who knows. Also we don't know how good their kill chain is which is a huge part of actually hitting something like an aircraft carrier in maneuvering, bobbing up and down, left and right. People think aircraft carriers are slow because of their size but they can book it when needed. Like you said though if you're slinging nukes ya down need to be precise.

I use to think you could just buy some more robots and hire some people for the assembly line - just copy and paste. Oh how wrong was I. Once that is gone jt takes a ton of time and effort to get the entire supply chain back up to speed. Yet these companies are outright raping us because they can. If we paid for the development the cost should go all the way down to how much it costs for materials and man hours. Nothing more or less or else we take the patents and programs we as citizens paid for and allow other companies to build it. The contracts seem to be in the companies favor and not the other way around. We should also maybe look into breaking up some of these companies and give subsidiaries to new ones who don't hold us hostage.

  2853. Why have the extra appliance. I hate the microwave for heating food but it's great for boiling water and such. It's much faster but be very careful not to super heat it as that will cause it to explode. (You can actually make water hotter than possible. It goes subcritical!) Most Americans have a microwave, coffee maker which is basically the same thing, and stove. No need for something so niche. Unless there are ones that have some fancy option or something I don't understand it. Now for the workplace? Sure maybe but again you can buy a coffee machine that keeps hot water on tap. A portable version for cars I can understand. Too bad cars no longer have the lighter thingy. (Hell do newer cars have any outlet outside of USB C?)

Yeah I thought it was a bit more than that. IRS takes 37% plus state taxes. So about half give or take. What's funny in a messed up way is the IRS doesn't take all the money so you owe 13% at the end of the year! Some people have gotten in trouble for it as they spent it...

Not all animals do well in the heat, because they can't regulate their body tempatures. I can't even.

  2856. No it isn't a joke. It would be a joke if we tried making the same types of planes carrying similar capacities. We don't have to. We can have shorter flights, and more planes. Which still sounds bad until you realize the cost savings in fuel and maintenence would allow significantly cheaper planes, AND cheaper flights. Wait till Lithium Air, or even Aluminum Air batteries start becoming a thing. They will be able to carry 10 times more energy at least then the current generation of batteries. Aluminum Air would be like disposable batteries, but lighter. Easily recyclable. Lithium Air would be rechargeable, but heavier. Hydrogen is a joke to one reason and one reason alone... Volumetric Density. Anyway neither electric or hydrogen will ever be viable for ocean going flights. The cool thing about Air batteries is that... Well you won't have to carry the weight of the nitrogen/oxygen. It would be like a rocket versus a jet engine.

  2857. Nope. It is ASLM. They are the ones who make the actual newest lithography machines which TSCM uses to make the most advanced chips. I think they are five years plus ahead of everyone else.

  2858. Think we will be able to make SMR actually cost competitive? I am pro nuclear. Yet hearsay says nuclear is so expensive due to regulations. Yet it is like ‐ out of all things... You can't skimp on saftey when it comes to nuclear power. So every project is extremely expensive to start off. Then you have obscene project overruns costing 15 plus billion. With how cheap solar, wind, and especially batteries are becoming. It is like why make it when we can use the extra money to work on the grid too. There are technologies already out or improving that deal with the frequency or baseline issues for renewables. Also geothermal with micromilimeter drilling looks promising for baseline as well. So is it like. Is it worth it? I personally like the idea of a decentralized grid.

  2859. And yet, it is still massive. We will change Earth into a habitat if we have to. How about we encourage all people to not have more than 2.1 children. Over population is what you all complain about. Either a catastrophy or WW3 is going to change earths projection.

  2860. The amount artillery plus air defense missiles truly is on an other level. That doesn't include freaken other AA systems. NATO sent too little too late. I would bet money that Ukraine will not see the break through. They would need five times the aircraft to do it. Ukraine doesn't have enough men. I wonder what the average amount of artillery is directed at on any specific point of the line. Sure you can take out of 5 to 20 but that doesn't help if they still have a good amount and then can get a bunch more to converge.

  2861. I always hear the reason why concrete doesn't last as long as say... Some roman concrete. (Not just due to the use if limestone.). That rebar is the culprit on why our concrete lasts only for so many decades instead of centuries. So if we could build to last like our ancestors. We wouldn't be using as much. Make a building last for the ages! (Also easily recyclable.). I mean couldn't we reinforce it with something that is even more durable as steel while maybe being weaker, but more durable against the forces that generally degrade it. Along with modern self healin, carbon tradable, concrete techniques. I want to see mega buildings where you could literally live your entire life in one. Has everything from a bakery, butcher, restaurants to banks and doctors. Have skyways to go a neighboring building. Those new magnetic elevators that can go in multiple directions in the X, Y and Z axis.

Putin invaded his neighbors to recreate the power of the Soviet Union. To be known for that. The Russians never stopped trying to expand even after the collapse. The second they got on their feet they invaded Chechnya and Georgia, and then Ukraine. See a pattern? Ukraine knew what was up. Was tired of having their affairs messed with, and wanted to join NATO as they saw the pattern of Russias aggression.

  2866. For now. I've been told the average Russians don't care about global warming because it will make life easier haha. It was on a documentary about c02 massive sink holes and explosions do due to permafrost melting in Siberia. I laughed, but yeah many companies are counting on the northern sea passage to open up in the next decades. Russia wants crimera for the ports and for the gas fields found off the shore. Feel bad for Ukarine because they were like Yay we have gas and Russia just had to go and take it.

I'll never buy vinyl or enjoy it. Other people ruined it for me. Audiophiles and literally all the people I met who do vinyl were pretentious snobs. Like oh you can hear that it isn't some expensive ass cable. No I don't hear a difference now that you brought your own - literally the same. That cable you used before hand is literally just branding. Someone tested it - are you telling me you hear better then instruments scientist use? Things like that just ruined it for me personally.

  2869. ​ @MrMichaelBCurtis Dude you aren't invading an island that has tanks still active on it. Will they be vulnerable to navies? Sure. Yet the island should also have anti ship capabilities to ward off ships or make it hard for them. Islands and land based missiles can be as large as they want to be. Ships missiles cannot. This is what the US Navy is facing with anything with China. The coverage of their newest stand off missiles is outstanding. This is why the Army and Marines also are stepping up their game. The army with bombers that can cross half the world, launch a bunch of anti ship missiles, and return back to a safe airbase. As for actually landing tanks during an offensive against an island like Taiwan? Yeah that would require a fleet on par with Normandy just to be successful. Yet if China could land even 100 tanks that would be a real headache for Taiwanese defenders.

  2872.  @jameswilson8907  Yup, you can have the best engine and set up but without good tires you're wasting it. Handling IMO is the most important aspect for a car. Always hated most motor sports because it's always about who has the fastest. Who cares that your car can go 200mph and turn left. Also most race cars require fucking perfect roads and the cars can't even go over a speed bump. What use is that?! F1 cars can't even grip correctly without proper heating. Dragsters engines get rebuilt after a single run. It is ridiculous. I like Rally the most but it isn't popular and admittedly boring to watch people just race by themselves.

  2879. Yeah what if the part where we think the singularity begins actually isn't, and that the true singularity is further into the black hole. Yet there is a sort of grey zone where nothing can reach us, but technically isn't yet trapped or sucked into the singularity. Due to this grey zone it has a ton of matter floating inside being manipulated by insane tempatures and pressures just swirling around. So when a sun falls into the black hole its matter gets mixed up into this cosmic soup, if you will - that with time gives it the necessary conditions to release some of that energy/matter that has been locked. Creating what they see. Or... Dark matter and energy maybe has a role to play in all of it.

  2880. Even China knows they can't take Taiwan chip factories. The second they get any foothold someone is blowing those FABs up. I wonder if they US would start shipping out their highest skilled engineers. Start bringing in Ospreys to grab their families. Anyway. You know since Taiwan has so many allies. Taking it by force would be a blood bath. Maybe they I don't know. Would try to sway the Taiwanese people to be like, "It would be so much better if you joined us. We'd give you this, that or this. Better then your current government!" Maybe then the Taiwanese themselves would be okay with being part of the mainland again. If the majority voted I'd have no issue with them reuniting. Yet they don't want to be a part of the CCP, because they aren't dumb. So due to that alone I think China should just leave them be, and the mandate of China can go F themselves. This isn't Dynasty Warriors.

  2881. Large turbines make bat lungs explode! That is a crazy fact I learned. Thought creatures were running or getting sucked into the blades. Yeah, solar is arguably better. Solar takes a lot of space. Turbines COULD be great for supplementing solar, when it is cloudy, and at night. It doesn't have to be one or an other. Just has to lessen the impact of burning fossil fuels. Those ones that use the Bernoulli Principal seem interesting yet last time I checked they were stupid expensive. It boggles my mind we can't design wind power systems that take advantage of when it storms. That is peak power!

  2885. Luckily we have something called training! Doing red flag exercises against our allies with all types of situations really helps give us a measure on how to fight, and we can even mimick our enemies due to us gathering intelligence on them. The F 15EX would not be going up against anything alone. What it lacks, others will make up for. Right now I see it as a the ultimate attack craft, with the best 4.5 gen capabilities. China is catching up, especially with all the leaks. So I am not sure how long we will have an advantage. Anyway we would not be sending F 15s out near Chinas mainland, unless we gained air superiority, and destroyed most ground threats. Most we would attack with them is their ports. We have other aircraft to attack Chinas air space. I have no doubts it will be the best 4.5 fighter. The question is if it is good enough for the price? Is the price worth it. I don't even think the USAF brass wanted the F15ex! They wanted more fifth gen, but Secretary of Defense, or Congress basically changed their budget plans. After seeing the cost of it, and how dangerous China is. I agree with them. If the cost was low I would agree, but they are more than the F35! Truly ridiculous.

Nah we were conquering and slaughtering men and children way before Europeans came! I know my people were! All humans - Allof us - are descended from warlike and territorial tribes. My goal is to consume less, toss less, and recycle more. Rare earths are one of the few things we can recycle.

  2895. ​ @PlayBatty Nah they all knew. They just didn't care because either money, no where else to go - and for the lot of them - freedom. Remember many of Wagner troops were prisoners and unwanted Russians. Hence why they were used as cannon fodder in Bahkmut. Prog has been complaining for a very very very long time. I'm suprised he lasted this long but Putin needed a scape goat after the failures of last year. Russians won't care if PMCs die but they do the conscripts and such. Hence why Wagner was paramount to Putin plans for a victory. I don't know what Prog is going to do. He and his forces need Russia because they are basically world wide terrorists now. Very interesting chain of events though and I'm sure I'm missing a lot but my point is... None of Wagner was fooled by the propaganda.

  2896. Nah remember the lot of them were also prisoners who signed up to get released from prison. If you ever see a red or white armband on a Wagner troop you can almost gaurentee that they are prisoners. Those bands represent the fact they have a disease like HIV and such usually due to IV use which is a big issue in Russia. They were addicts arrested by the state and told they could earn their freedom and pay after I believe a year or two. Hence why they were used as cannon fodder in Bahkmut. Basically unwanted criminals who's death mattered not. Putin couldn't afford an other military loss so Wagner was always used as essentially a way to win and used as a scapegoat if the lost. Afterall can't have conscripts dying in the thousands for little gain as that would not sit right with the Russian people if they kept getting letters of their young boys dying.

  2897. That problems is due to poor design. You should be able to make a roof where the snow cannot catch to build up. With that said I prefer uneven unique roofs. Give me a dome or tower. A unique shape. There is a pyramid looking house near me that doesn't let snow build up. Flat roofs that you aren't able to walk on or are really used should be made illegal. They are so ugly too. Yet for practical reasons I think they are unbeatable! So I do get it. I'm just thinking they can make a multi million dollar building. Yet they can't hide the machinery inside the building or incorporate it into the architecture? Gotta stick the water tower like that for the pigeons? No garden or solar panels. Gimme a break. Allow the space to be used.

  2898. ​ @tossed_about I am not a fan of hydrogen, but the Hindenbutg was deadly due to other factors. I think it was the aluminum in the paint they used. An other airship that didn't use helium killed much more that year. The reason it isn't as well known is due to the fact it wasn't caught on film! Gotta remember catching anything on film was amazing back then. Let alone a terrible disaster! Anyway having a 700 PSI tank doesn't feel safe. One that is flammable. Or one that can leak and silently kill me. Yet I'm not worried about the safety. It is the volumetric density, and all the issues here that make me feel like hydrogen sucks for our modern needs. Batteries will improve. Wait till Lithium Air batteries become a thing. Maximum therotical density of 12k kw/kg if you use the oxygen from the atmosphere!

You will feel great doing it for a long time, but you can't be drinking forever. That would make you an alcoholic, which you aren't. You need to be mentally addicted for that, but you're doing this for medical. So you aren't actually an alcoholic. Yet just pretend to be one anyway. You go into the detox once you start to feel real crappy. Well the doctor will now diagnose you with end stage liver disease! Oh no! How will you ever afford your bills! Don't frett my friend. After the news, you can now go to the social security office. This will allow you to get onto state and federal insurance. Since you cannot work you can also get a check monthly, and food stamps! Success! Yes! You now have free money, and free insurance! Whoop whoop! You can now live the rest of the five years without worrying about any of that nonsense. Buy scratch tickets or something. Also your kidneys might go too. Now you need two organs! If you want to live long you have to be sober for many years, and survive, while doctors tell you that you will die in three days.

Makes sense these days when an F 35 can fire an aim missile at targets behind them. Honestly the Navy requirements for the NGAF look promising. It is an interceptor. Relativepy big, for fuel, internal armament, and sensors. Huge engines for top speed. With agility taking second fiddle. Missiles are just too good. 99% of fights are going to end before gun range unless something VERY messed up happened.

  2913. Fun fact the SRI 71 Astroinertial Navigational computer (named R2-D2 used stars to navigate. It was considered mission critical as jt was tied into other systems and of course calculated where the pilot should go. It was accurate up to 300 feet, and the the lenses used were sensitive enough to detect stars during the brightest days. Insane what we could do it before modern computers were a thing. While GPS is great and all astroinertial systems like this are making a comeback, because of redundancy and the threat of electronic warfare and (satellites being blown up). I just always found it interesting. Never cared about navigating but its pretty crazy what we can accomplish. The fact people have been using stars to navigate is really impressive the more you think about it. I know I take things for granted but imagine someone showing up with a Sexton and telling you they can navigate anywhere anytime just by using the stars if you didn't know anything about it. You'd think they lost their marbles.

  2915. Electric cars are already good enough for most people, and the potential is insane. I mean the average American drives 40 miles per day. While EVs are getting 300-500 miles per charge. SO! For most people with a home it already is good enough. I personally think their performance is also superior for the price where it counts. Which is having high HP, instant torqure, and improved center of gravity. They will only get lighter, charge faster, increased longevity, become cheaper, and of course increased battery density. Oh did I mention cost to run is cheaper? Gas prices aren't going to be going down significantly. Probably only up. I think in the next three to five years we will see useful semi EVs. CATL is releasing their 500 wh/kg battery now. Others are said to be releasing their 500 plus soon as well. Now with all that said... The biggest issue is charging infrastructure. Everything I said is useless if you cannot charge your car in a pinch.

Apparently they also get hand outs when they fail. Places like Walmart or fast food chains rely on their workers getting food stamps. They benefit from government subsidies. They also get massive subsidies outright. Some wouldn't even exsist without the government. Basically tax accountants, and half of corn farmers who grow corn for useless ethanol that isn't even good for the environment nor your car come to mind. Basically artifical markets. Government also purchases tons of stuff from companies. Protecting their IPs. Just loads of benefits. Those are just what I can name off my head, and I'm not smart. Can't believe you said that. Fact is corporations should be paying their fair share. Especially since they are active in the government lobbying. If they want to be represented then they should pay.

The west isn't perfect and can be pretty bad, but I would prefer a world dominated by the west then the CCP. Containing China seems like a good goal to me as China is by far the worse when it comes to environmental, human rights (for a great power.) And letting people say what they want.

Glad I had some trust in a random post, because gold overtook platnium in 2011. That is nuts as someone born in the 80s. Trophies in games and such are lying to me! Platnium shouldn't be the best anymore! I have been deceived! I demand a Californium trophy for Elden Ring damn it. Am I the only one who didn't know this?

  2926. Yeah man. I want a small one with ATGMs pods, hybrid engine, able to run silent. With all the sensors for recon, and a 360 camera view. Just enough armor to shrug auto cannons. It would be PERFECT for hit and run tactics with each one controlled via controller by one person. Imagine what type of damage a team of just five could do if air dropped behind enemy lines working together. Basically make the controls as close to a video game as possible. With a selfie stick third person camera view that can be extended out behind the vehicle. Oh make it as fast as possible. I'm so disappointed they never got a manned version up.

  2930. Lithium air max potential is 5.6kw/kg with air included, or 12,000k kw/kg excluded drawing air from the surroundings! Those are max therotical which will never happen. Yet man if we could get half those numbers. 2.5k to 5k kw/kg! Would be amazing. Especially the later. Everyone should be researching it!

  2931. Pretty sure every country is basically saying the same to be quite honest. Why we shunned nuclear is beyond me. More people die from fossil fuels anyway just ask those who live near the plants even though if is significantly better. I feel like we should make them for places like Las Vegas and start making some desalination plants and huge water recycling plants plus so we can stop stressing our aquifers and rivers. We just gotta be better in general. I won't see fusion in my life time. Nuclear waste can be dealt with and some of it reused for other things I guess.

  2935. I have liver and kidney failure. Tried switching as my GI tract is messed up so I switched to lactaid Protein and it tastes nearly identical to me. Figured I was becoming intolerant. The difference is so minor I don't notice. I buy full so maybe that's it. One thing I've noticed people who purchase skim lactose free milk seem to not like it. I'm going to try Fairlife AS SOON as I can find it in full milk. I hear its real good and also had 13g of protein per cup. Also lactose free. They even have a nutritional milk shake that takes the lactose out. I tried and compared the alternatives and it is not worth it. None of them pack the calories, fat, carbs and protein that milk has. Nutrients are eh since that is brand dependent. It's crazy though how much milk packs... Anyone who says almond milk tastes like milk is not to be trusted. That shit is like a desert. PS chocolate milk is the nectar of the gods! Don't care for chocolate but aome Hershey syrup AND OH LAWD. God the worse thing about dying is this low liquid restrictions. If I get a transplant the first thing I'm doing is chugging ice cold gallon of milk!

  2936.  @noobbotgaming2173  Look I am an avid milk drinker. Give me those fats, COMPLETE protein, and carbs along with minerals and nutrients! Chocolate milk the nectar of the gods! (Full Lactaid Protein) A gift sent from the heavens and bestowed on us by universe... But you don't have to be an ass dude. Yeah non of the milk alternatives come close ounce for ounce of nutrition. I've checked. This video is biased as hell because the alternative companies pull the same crap in advertising if not more so. Switch to this and magically you'll be healthier! Won't hear that most of the protein in pea milk is undigestable by those who make it for example. Most people think protein is just one molecule or something as well but your body needs different ones which dairy provides. Also people can't control being lactose intolerant and some are allergic to other things or sensitive to casein and such. Also you may lose your tolerance as you age so beware! I drink Lactaid Protein since it has extra protein in it and for some reason other milk companies don't want anything to do with it.

  2937.  @peridotpockygod.9080  You try Lactaid Protein or Fair Life? I thought they taste just like milk and have extra protein which is a plus.

  2938. For Lactose Intolerant. Lactaid Protein and Fairlife whole(both red for full) are amazing. I honestly couldn't tell the difference if someone didn't point it out. Love both yet can never find Fairlife whole anywhere as it is always skim. I am dying. Tried all varieties of offshoots yet ounce for ounce milk is god tier. Also chocolate lactaid full is basically a nectar of the gods for me. Seriously I cannot wait to get a transplant. Hope I live long enough for both liver and kidney transplant so I can just enjoy a huge glass. Liquid restrictions are hell especially with summer being as hot as it is.

  2940. China and Russia are already working on space weapons. Russia already threatened nuclear war against us, and our allies. We should take that threat seriously. I wish both Elon, and Vice President Trump gone from office. Yet making it clear we will defend our space is a good thing. Deterrence is the best option. If threatening war in heaven has to happen tomorrow to make peace here on Earth today. Then maybe it is better that way. No one gets to leave till we fix ourselves.

I have heard of a long ton, but not anyone actually use it in real life. I'm not British so it makes sense. Now you're telling me there is an other ton regarding ships, and it is about displacement? The fuck man thanks, but now I am like what the hell. So when people say a cargo tanker is a million tons plus or carrying a X amount of tons of cargo... Are they actually using Lloyd's Ton, and displacement?

  2943.  @mirandahotspring4019   @mirandahotspring4019  Yeah, Americans especially have made it hell for themselves for not switching over. Just buying soda for example. You buy it in liters. Medical field uses metric, and when you buy medicine you buy it in grams. Or hell even your local drug dealer sells weed in grams, but at a certain weight goes to ounces and pounds. Or maybe kilos. Like I said I taught myself metric. When they listed what a British ton was I was like wait. Isn't that just a metric ton, but then no. Like you said it is pretty close. Only measurement I really dislike is Celsius. I think fahrenheit is better for the human experience. 100 is hot, and 0 is super cold for everybody. I had someone tell me a tempaturs in Kelvin once when talking about how hot their car engine got. Like yeah, oh I know exactly how hot a thousand Kelvin is. Anyway now that I know about ship tonnage. That is wild to me, and I'm pretty sure others have used them interchangeably. Some talking about the weight, and then later volume in the same sentence. Thanks for clarifying that.

  2944. @artysanmobile  LoL you went through quite a comment chain to get to my comment. Yeah it is a mess. A stupid one for sure. I was more aiming at people who can't calculate a simple km to miles. Like they have no comparison to it. Might as well be using the plank scale. I get it. I hate it when people tell me how tall they are in centimeters. Takes me a second like oh. Acting like they are 182cm. When in reality they are 5'8. Yet I still can easily estimate close enough. It won't be exact. A kg is 2.2 pounds. Yet not exactly. It is actually .998. I am around 48kg. Or about 106 pounds. It is annoying people spend more effort complaining in every video rather than just learning the systems.

  2945. Guys the B-21 capabilities are things that we cannot see like the new RAM. We don't know if they are using the ceramics that are more durable to extreme tempatures while absorbs more of the electromagnet spectrum. Its thermal signature has been greatly reduced due to the new RAM as well. It has better defensive and offensive EW suites. Improved avionics, sensors, and communication data links. It is more useful for recon as well. It has the benefits of being much easier to maintain, update, and can be stationed at many more locations as it doesn't need a climate controlled hanger. We don't know how much less it carries, loiter times, speed or altitude.

  2953.  @wilmeroberg9794  Ah yes. A fire and forget missile with 90% kill rate takes time to confirm a kill... Great point. /s even though you don't have to confirm that kill right then and there. You can scurry away to a new position to reload, which is what you are supposed to do anyway. Javelin is guided, and the NLAW isn't. Has nearly four times the maxium range of 2,000 or 4,000m depending on variant, versus 1,000m. Albeit really can't be used up close(65 meters versus 20). It has what, three times bigger warhead for direct attack where the NLAWs is only for light vehicles. 18 pounds versus 4 pounds by the way. The CLU can be used and has for recon. It is reusable. NLAW is great for what it is. A cheap system. Yet in basically all metrics the Javelin is better. It isn't perfect. Yet I'll take those trade offs any day of the week, unless I am in a setting where I don't have enough minimum range to use it of course. Also in what universe can a tank suprise you, and you don't have three minutes to warm everything up? Do you have any idea how loud tanks are? I think they are replacing it with something soon or an upgraded version. All I know is they better use rechargeable batteries.
    1
  2954.  @wilmeroberg9794  Like I said, NLaw for urban combat if there are no fire lines. Which is why you don't set up in a place you can't use it, duh. Even urban areas have lines further than 65m. 65m is way closer than you want any tank with their support to be. Javelin for nearly every scenario except these specialized ones you keep bringing up. CLU can last up to 4 hours depending on ambient tempature, and batteries can be changed. Not as good in higher tempatures. Either way I've been told by two vets they've used it to check vehicles out when they couldn't identify them multiple times, and to just scan noises in forests. The new CLU has 50% more battery life. 70% smaller, and is 40٪ lighter. So it will get even better. Yeah, ill take that. Worry about these ninja silent tanks that can teleport under 65m of my position later that you are so worried about. I mean you'd have to wait for a tank platoon to be on top of you, and can miss if you don't lead correctly with a NLAW. I could have fired, and retreated before the missile hit to set up for an other shot Maybe my mate would then destroy an other helicopter with a Javelin as I retreat. Since they can do that too, and destroyed a Ka52. Short of cost, minimum range and weight. Javelin is better. Four times the range. Guided. Three times bigger warhead for better direct fire. Optics. Fire and forget.

  2955. @@trollolol705  @trollolol705  Yes... Farming uses land and resources. What exactly at ya getting at here? Oh you're against GMOs... One of those types... Probably don't even really understand them but read some headlines and scared of the boogeyman. In order to feed the world without GMOs we would be tearing down for more farmland, using more water, and diseases and pests would wipe more out. GMOs can be much more nutritious and can taste better. If you have solutions then I would love to hear it it. GMOs are a life saver and believe it or not we have been modifying plants since agriculture once we learned how to selectively breed and cross plants- go try to find what a tomatoe or corn looked like from 10k years ago and compare the two. So I am not getting your point here either but I suggest you really read up on the subject. Just because you grew up on a farm means jack. That is very apparent as the food you grew weren't native either but designed by man in a slower way but the results are the same. I doubt you actually have any solid reasons on why GMOs are bad. I would love to be enlightened. I already listed the benefits - the savings in water and using less farmland alone are better for the earth in the long run. The fact each acre can produce more with higher nutrition also is a benefit. As for killing wild native species. Yeah I bet your parents allowed every plant to grow between whatever your cash crop was. And yes farmers need to be better. More efficient. Just like industrial fisherman need to stop scooping up everything in the ocean making a path of destruction for all wildlife. I'm all for salmon farms and other marine farming BTW as long as it is done efficiently and responsibly like all production should be.

He is an egotistical jack ass who thinks his autistic arse knows what is best socially. Recently seen him trying to rewrite history on Tesla founding. That made me mad. If he embraced that he is a good venture capitalist. One of the greatest alive. I would have respect for him. Instead he pretends he is a genius, and lashes out when corrected, and takes credit for others genius. Only need to look at Hyperloop, FSD, Roadster,' and Cyber Truck to see he is a flat out liar who should be in for fraud. The fact he thinks taking away radars is better, was also stupid.

  2962. Chivilary was generally for other nobles is what I always read. Then honestly that isn't even true if you look at some conflicts. I remember reading the battle of Agnicourt was crazy for the time, because the British didn't hold all the French knights for ransom. The archers didn't take any prisoners during the fighting, nor after. Which led to what? 2,000 deaths after the battle. A lot of high nobles made it. Many others didn't. Yet to be honest I can't remember the source. If was a history channel documentary back in the day.

I just don't see what value he brings for 55 billion. He isn't a genius either. A genius wouldn't have ripped people off with Hyper Loop. I'd rather Space X succeed anyway.

Just a pain, and toxic to mine. We are moving away from China, because if we didn't? They'd have incredible leverage against us. Companies wouldn't have incentives to move away, because we can't compete. We need to view the wider picture. Also China doesn't play fair, and started the trade war. Outside of that I agree with him.

Getting money out of politics is the first step to ANY good change left or right. Yet the media Moguls like to redirect, mislead, and misinform. From Musk to Murdok to Bezoes to CNN. All of them are corrupt. Lobbying is too powerful. Got Trump paid off by Elon posing for advertisement in front of the White House. While the richest man alive slashes social security we paid for by pretending to do it with a chain saw. As his companies get government subsidize and contracts. All while high on drugs. Not one intellectually honest person can say that isn't weird. It is bizarre, and people are appluading it. We are heading straight for Idocracy, and WWIII WITHOUT allies.

Ever see the Point Defense Turrets from the Expanse? Picture that. For those who don't know it is like a CIWIS, but smaller. So we will have small automatic turrets controlled by AI, with various sensors shooting missiles, drones, and other rounds down. Along with trophy system for really close in attacks.

Instead they are making our bonds with allies stronger, and now America is preparing for a fight. Much like how European is getting geared up due to Russia invading Ukarine. One thing about America's is she is a giant, and our resolve strengthens the worse the situation gets. Once a real threat emerges we fight and stand together as a single country and not red or blue. I'm not sure how Han Chinese are during total war. Sometimes I can't tell their propaganda from the way certain generation feel about the CCP. Their military has a lot to prove.

Trump is a geopolitical fool who is a tool for Russia. They cheer for Trump to be in power so the West becomes weaker. How? Trump would make America so weak by alienating our allies. At least Biden in his old age realized that aspect, and is building alliances as we speak. And as you can see. Russia would have been a weak ally compared to our allies in Europe. And by the way.. Ukraine only wanted to join NATO DUE to Russias actions. They have their own right to make a choice, and clearly don't want to be a Russian puppet anymore.

  2983.  @MikkoRantalainen  The Javelin weighs 49 pounds total. 35 pounds for the warhead. 19 pounds for the command unit. NLAW weighs 29 pounds. So at best you can only get double. Which you might need due to the higher chances of missing or not actually getting a critical hit on the target. So you're wrong on that. Also the Javelin has further range. More likely to kill the target by a long shot needing less shots. The command unit can, and has been used for infantry to use to help recon with the advanced optics. The only two downsides of the Javelin are the fact that it is expensive, and has a minimum range. Which is being fixed. Also the newer versions will be rechargable.

I mean even standard practical Helicopters have basically reached their limits. I hope there are solutions, because living a life with technological limits is lame! Technology should always be improving at a rapid rate. Hopefully AI can fix that.

  2986.  @huwdavies-tallon3305  It definitely wasn't the best. Overrated IMO but still something I wouldn't want to go up against. It tended to break down quite easily and a tank is not good if it's always being serviced. It also was fuel hungry and sometimes too heavy. Also a ton of vehicles could take it head on from the Firefly to the M10 Wolverine. By wars end with Pattons or IS tanks it was done with. So mainly the reliability and fuel issues is what made it so bad. Never understood why it didn't have angled armor as well.

The companies have a right to use information aggregated through someone else to pass judgment what they spend their hard earned dollars on with advertisement. This is like Hollywood getting mad people don't want to advertise their rated R movie on children channels. No one has to use your website. Musk lashing out like the unstable man child he has become. I guess he won't be killing the "woke virus" once X goes under. The only virus is him now.

  2988. Yeah as an American I think Deng wouldn't have put China where it is. He knew that in order for China to be the best it had to play nice with others. He absolutely was a great leader. Xi seems to be a strongman bullying his neighbors, to make China seem strong. Yet it is pushing their neighbors to side with the West. Like what they are doing to Taiwan, the Phillipines, boarders with India. Encouraging IP theft. The list goes on and on. It isn't the East versus West either. It is the CCP versus anyone who doesn't want to take crap from them. I just think Peng would have actually put China on a road map to surpass the US. Now I don't think so with their lack of immigration and population growth.

Getting charged for things they did not do. Or all around terrible experiences like dealing with creeps. Finding hidden cameras. Definitely not worth it. I hope they all go bankrupt, and government slaps it hard. It is unacceptable.

  2990. Nothing wrong with it. It isn't his fault these labs want research, but get no investment. Also things take time. Now... What is his fault is not vetting scammers who's ideas would never scientifically makes sense. That "NaNo HyDogren FiLm" was one. Gravity Vault somehow is still scamming. An other problem with this channel is... "Silicon can hold 10 times more." He speaks in therotical limits, and not practical real world numbers that will ever hit due to the fact there will be inefficiencies. Lithium Air CAN get 12 kwh/kg (air excluded), but in reality we will never ever get close to that number. We could hope for something like 50%.

Jokes aside as CA seems to be collapsing and Texas seems to be rising high. You guys have an amazing selection of jobs. From laborer like myself(well before I was dying) to tech wizards. You have office, big pharma/medical, manufacturing and of course energy. Guys are doing great it seems. If you would've asked me this fifteen years ago I'd be like yeah it has Houston and Dallas and oil, cattle, and Texas Instruments. One thing that boggles my mind though. What are these companies thinking about making their FABs in a place that isn't known for its abundance of water. Those things require a RIDICULOUS amount of fresh water. Wonder if its going to hit the farmers. Hope they set up some really amazing water recycling plants. Anyways again keep on chugging.

The voters voted. He did not want to accept that. You know what? Left, right, middle. It doesn't matter to me. Anyone who does the things he has done should be tried, and if found guilty. Go to jail. We need to stamp out all corruption in our government. Starting with Trump who thought he is untouchable. No one should be. Trump dug his own grave.

  2994. ​ @paul1979uk2000 The only accountability that should be focused on is personal responsibility of the viewer learning to digest information. Or teach critical thinking. What are we now? China? People say lies, or are racist, or say things some don't like and we shut it down? Just ignore it. Like we have since the dawn of the internet. Racists have been online since I remember back in 96. I think getting a grasp on what the other side is thinking is a good thing. Twitter didn't start those riots. It was just a spark, and the story being untrue or true doesn't matter. It would have happened anyway. People are clearly getting fed up with all these immigrants who don't want to assimilate, want hands out, and raise crime rates. That is giving the right wing more leverage across Europe, and the left is doing absolutely nothing about it except turning the other cheek. Acting like those people's plight should be our responsibility, and that people who disagree don't matter. So they shrug those people off, ban them, call them racist, and that forces people to be even more extreme. Like them or not they do matter, and until the immigration issue is fixed the right will only get more popular. If we are to hold any people liable we need to start with the "news agencies.", and get rid of their protection where they can say they are just entertainment. Most don't trust the news, and then turn to SM for it. That is the larger issue at hand.

  3007.  @bharatkapoor4062  Of course Chinese social media WILL beat out western SM due to the sheer size of Chinese population. China's government isn't too kind to western tech companies anymore. Heck they outright own many of the big companies. China does not innovate. They take designs from the west which is smart, but look at how long it took them to develope a Chinese ball point pen. Labor in China is still super cheap at the moment, but the standard of living is going up and people don't want to work like robots if they can help it. Many companies are moving out of China (India, Indonesia, Vietnam etc). A large part is due to the CCP. I don't think China will collapse like so many claim, but it simply won't be as successful. This year demophrahs is going to be rearing it's ugly head due to the one child policy and all that. People don't buy Chinese goods for quality or superior technology. They buy it because it's cheap and good enough. Also this whole semi conductor ordeal has yet to be done with. All countries are making strides to catch up with Taiwan.

Instead of lining the pockets of corrupt oligarchs and government officials. Thats all this war is about. Putins legacy. Russia was never threatened by invasion. Putin just wants to be remembered alongside other great Russian leaders like Peter the Great - he wants to be the savior who brought back Mother Russia from the brink of irrelevance, and into the world's super power that even surpasses the corrupt USA.

  3015.  @Prometheus4096  You are right and wrong. Google is already investing in geothermal to power their own things. (I hope millimeter wave drilling takes off as well. I am all for geothermal. ) On the other hand Microsoft signed a deal for nuclear with Helion for a nuclear plant. While Amazon invested in a nuclear plant to draw power from allowing that company to invest. Some crypto firms are looking into nuclear as well. I can't remember which. Some datacenters/servers need to be close to certain areas for a variety of reasons. The cost of AI specifically is going to rise so fast that it might not be feasible to use wind or solar nearby. Both require a ton of space. If companies had it their own way you'd be 100% correct. Cheaper to just use wind or solar, but it isn't always possible, and will be harder as AI requires more power to run. Nuclear in that case looks enticing. SMRs will be perfect for those situations. Especially when you look at the projected numbers of GW used in one place by 2030 to 2050. So what I am saying is solar and wind when possible. With SMRs covering gaps when it isn't possible to purchase enough land. It doesn't need to be one solution. Remember governments and citizens are already raising eyebrows at the demands, and raising power costs in areas these companies operate in. Companies are raising eyebrows at lack of the power companies stepping up, and most likely find it cheaper to build/generate their own power. But we will see! I am all for nuclear, but doesn't seem like any companies can maintain their projected price in the West, and the last thing I want is a lack in saftey. Especislly after what South Korea nuclear has pulled!

  3017.  @derrickthewhite1  I see a lot of these battery technologiea for home use, or stationary batteries. I already forgot if he actually mentioned how much energy density it had. Or if he did what a lot of these new battery technologies say sneakily. "This could have the potential." They always say that. It is like who cares. (Except for lithium air. We need to get those to work.) Well yeah, nearly all battery techs are not close to their limits, and lithium ion isn't even close to being maxed out. We are around like 25%. I believe lithium ion has like 2,800wh//. Just looked it up. Calcium air with oxygen has 1,800 wh/l. With getting oxygen from the air like a car or jet does you get around 3,200wh//. Anyway I just don't see it being used for vehicles. Could be very useful for green energy storage. Yet it has to compete with a ton of others like Sodium chemistries, which already are in production. We need to learn how to produce graphite for cheap like yesterday. We could get nearly a double increase for so many chemistries if we just could produce it for cheap. Think we already have a graphite battery that has 750 kwg/kg. Teslas are generally like 475 I think. Forgive me I can't find the wiki chart showing theoretical battery densities in kilowatt hours per kilogram damn it.

Maybe even hold a bunch of cities. Russia simply doesn't have enough tech and seems incompetent. Like I said no way we could hold it long term, especially if they went asymmetrical but take on their army? Yes. Only China would win. US has the intelligence, modern arms, drones, airforce, and navy. Russia has the artillery advantage. I don't know about submarines. They have to resupply food, and we have the numbers there.

I'm with him on this one. Until that price comes down it doesn't make sense.

  3031.  @AndrewFullerton  What is your gripe with livestock? Are you trying to say we don't have enough corn to feed everyone because of cows? Or more specifically livestock are the cause of humans not being able to afford food? Last time I checked we produce enough food to feed 10 billion people and have a huge surplus. We do need to become more efficient with what we do have for sure especially with fresh water. Isreal does a good job with their water. Our practices need to be better like vertical/indoor farming. Yet we have people who are completely insane thinking no preservatives, no GMOs, organic, no pesticides is the right way to go when in reality that would make food more expensive and scarce. No food if the bugs got there first. The food would spoil before it reached those who needed it, or the crop would produce lower yields, or the crop dies because we didn't use GMOs that are resistant to droughts and disease. Seriously live stock isn't the issue on why people are starving. It doesnt matter if the remains is used towards animal feed. It is a political, social economical and logistical issue. Again we should be more efficient. Yet don't sit here any say some African child is starving because a goat gets fed instead of him. No he's starving because there's no work and he lives in a man made hell hole. Let someone who can afford it to enjoy their burger and fries. Just don't sit there any say food scarcity is caused by livestock and terrible farming practices which actually have improved significantly. If you want to go back to the bronze age be my guest. You can do that on your own. I'll take my preserved GMO franken fruit and canned vegs with a nice steak and a can of chocolate milk. Wait no a Doctor Pepper, Thanks. You can nibble on some part of a the plant that your body cannot digest but livestock can or make some tea.

Imagine four of those in a car with a battery and capacitor pack with a transmission for higher speeds! Actually i get conflicting reasons on why EVs have lower top speeds. Some say it is a transmission or gearing issue. Others say no. Anyway I don't care for EVs because they are green. I care due to the performance they offer.

Even though it has been like 80 years! Maybe the Pakistani learned to blame others from India.

  3055. I use to be a diehard Pizza Hut fan. Love their Mariana sauce. My first job was there too and I could use their garlic butter to make a pizza which was delicious. Also their mountain dew had extra syrup and was extra carbonated which was awesome haha. However it just all sucks now and it is STUPID expensive. Their selection sucks to boot. It just isn't the same. Dominoes did a 180 and while I still prefer pizza hut taste I usually buy from dominoes. Oh and ordering extra on anything doesn't seem to do a darn thing. Quality control is garbage.

  3056. I'm waiting for a turbojet or turbofan so I can see a Sci-fi looking gunship mess up some fools. Tri and quads are cool too though. Also the Army picked the Valor and I think it was the right choice. Can't beat the speed and range of a tilt rotor and avionics are so good it literally can fly itsself.

  3057. Hydrogen is garbage for things like EVs, and I don't think it is a main energy storage solution either. For things like lifting? Absolutely! I would even fly in a modern hydrogen airship. Hindenburg wasn't even the worse airship crash. The Akron was with 73 deaths. Then the R 101. The Akron was a Helium filled airship too, but has double the deaths. Huh. Anyway I can understand others not wanting to be in a hydrogen airship. Yet this is a turbine with no people ever going into it. Hydrogen would be fine.
