  • That wasn't their choice for at least a couple million of them, maybe the full 8 million. Between illegal purging of Democrats and minorities, ballot switching, and ballot stuffing the Repuglicans stole the election.

    First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.

  • Normal pens need gravity to work. IIRC NASA did actually buy the pens at MSRP, and the guy that invented the pens wasnt at all involved in the space program. He was solving a different issue, whos solution happened to work for NASA

  • The Ukrainians have satellite photos and live drone coverage. They have proven their abilities to penetrate both camouflage and Russian cope cages.

    Meanwhile the Russians can't manage to produce their own microprocessors, electronics, or even basic fabrics. What makes you think they are spending their limited rubles on tarps?

  • The US basically stores hundreds of B-52 airframes out in the elements. Admittedly the worst those airframes see is the occasional haboob, aka sandstorm, or some torrential rain, but that's only a few days a year.

    Of course that is the boneyards in NM and AZ. The operational ones are kept in hangers at Air Force bases in the middle of the Continental US. I don't know if those are climate controlled, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.

    Oh, right. The B-52 is the plane that the USSR was copying when they made the bombers that were just blown up.

    Also storing them in a hanger wouldn't matter to most of these drones since more often than not the hanger doors are left open, and even when closed they are typically made of sheet metal. So the Ukrainians would have just blown a hole in the sheet metal before driving the next drone into the bomber.

    This operation was some serious Tom Clancy style sci-fi military intelligence porn come to life.

  • The only thing that makes me even a bit sad is that much like the Anotov AN-225 Mriya, these Russian versions of the US BUFF can't be replaced.

    I don't approve of what they have been used for, and don't approve of their use at all. Much like I don't approve of the US using their B-52s, aka Big Ugly Fat Fucker, aka BUFF.

    I hope Ukraine manages to force a Russian surrender before all of the examples of halfway decent Soviet engineering are destroyed. We need to keep some of them, if only as examples of what NOT TO DO.

  • Well you have to understand, Soviet Russia beat the US in the Space Race by sending cosmonauts with pencils. The Americans spent tens of millions of dollars developing a pen that works in space. They are wasteful. It's not like pencils create any graphite dust that could potentially clog the air filters on MIR.

  • I think sh.itjust.works has a similar policy IIRC reading the various instance policies across Lemmy. I suppose Hexbear may also be in that category, but I don't want to be subjected to constant pics of pigs shitting on their own balls.

  • Sure, for a basic machine that allows for better than 20mph, or 35kph.

    Trying to compare that to my phone is a false equivalency. Try trolling someone that hasn't had both university level ethics courses, and university level debate courses that I fucking hated. The debate ones, not the ethics. Ethics I breezed through. Debate is some absolute bullshit because you have to entertain the viewpoint of liars, like you.

  • It was easier for me to throw away blood related people that raised me, than put up with the stress of dealing with their lie based reality 20 years ago. I don't miss the drama at all. I occasionally miss one of the almost 20 "relatives" that I cut off. Thing is that I have over 8 billion cousins out there, so I can make up for the bigots with actual humans, rather than subhuman scum.
