I’m against capital punishment, so I’m training to become an executioner

narrow aims

• Kill a bunch of Iranian locals and broadcast the deaths via one of those grainy night vision videos. Insist everyone you killed was a Hamas terrorist.

• Claim you have once again destroyed their nuclear program. Thank Israel for their support and invite Netanyahu to DC to celebrate.

• Do a victory lap on cable news, bragging about how you won another war and deserve the next Peace Prize.

• Ask Congress for another $100B in Pentagon spending, because you ran out of ships again. Name the next Aircraft Carrier the USS Melanie

All very achievable.

Trying to imagine the kind of house Boeing would build, and I’ve got this image of a converted shipping container with custom proprietary electric and plumbing hook ups that cost $50M/ea and disintegrates when it rains.

This isn’t even the craziest appointment he’s made, considering Charlies Kushner in France and Mike Huckabee in Israel.

FFS, this is who he picked as the US ambassador to the UN.

He assessed that Afghanistan could be won through slow cultural conversion by unconventional forces, described as “multiple generations of winning hearts and minds”, and anticipated 100 years before such objectives could be achieved, saying:

We are in a war of ideas and we are fighting an ideology. It is easy to bomb a tank, but incredibly difficult to bomb an idea. We need a long-term strategy that discredits the ideology of Islamic extremism … We are in a multi-decade war and we are only 15 years in.

Always in news

Fucking Sinclair bullshit. Local news is vile. Might as well be the god damned Klan running those stations.

US and Europe could use to resist Russia

Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s tech company linked to Russia in war, per report

Telecommunications equipment made by the company of Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera is being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine, according to a report from Hunterbrook Media.

…

In the report, Hunterbook Media revealed video where Wi-Fi equipment made by Ubiquiti is being shown on the front lines in the Russia-Ukraine war. The equipment reportedly has helped Russia use drones that have targeted civilians in Ukraine.

“Without Ubiquiti, these drones in Russia, the ones leading to massacres, would not work,” Hunterbrook reporter Sam Koppelman said on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast on Jan. 27. “They would be flying blind.”

The US and Europe are profiting massively off this conflict. They don’t want it to end.

CRTs are getting very hard to find now and people smash them for fun.

Surely you see the contradiction

Israel already tried this with their 12-Day War and ate shit when their David’s Sling and Arrow system got riddled with ballistic buckshot.

Do they have an appetite for another active engagement? Idk. Seems like they prefer to go after softer targets

They don’t make vhs players or CRTs now do they?

There’s an enormous inventory of New Old Stock and refurbished units that more than meet demand.

You literally cannot buy a non smart TV any more

That’s absolutely not true. The real limit on Dumb TVs is the size. Emerson and Westinghouse both make dumb TVs, but they cap out at 50".

TNT has 1162 Wh/kg ratio.

How do you recharge TNT?

We are hitting the limit what is doable with energy density.

I mean, we’re definitely running into a problem of how you build a battery without also building a bomb. But the entire point of TNT is rapid thermal expansion. The point of a battery is very low voltage steady release of electrical charge.

I might also note that C4 has around 6 Mwh/kg. A bit of applied chemistry can go a long way to improving energy efficiency. And that’s before you take advantage of geometry to focus pressure, via a shaped charge.

Point being, there’s a lot of clever ways to juice a lemon. We’re a long way from the end of the road on battery improvement.

Going to need a control ball relative to the variable ball to calibrate your measurements.

But how are people so basic.

I would like a thing. All retail commerce has been monopolized by a handful of big box storefronts. One of those storefronts sucks marginally less than the others, such that I can actually find what I want to buy and expect it to be delivered in a timely fashion.

But I shouldn’t shop there because… ???

Wonder why bad things continue to happen.

Damn, so true. We should never have quit shopping at Target Walmart Sears Woolworths. Now we live in Capitalist Hell and its all our own fault.

Okay, but have you considered that Amazon is the reason prices are high?

Obviously, none of these other retailers had a hand in it.

In fairness, she looks better in it
