  • I never assume that someone is from Wyoming's capital either.

  • Why can't someone from Bobo Brand Popcorn infiltrate Orville Redenbacher's fancilities and take enough fanseeds to plant and reproduce, then sell the same popcorn for cheaper?

  • According to a June analysis from the Center for Strategic & International Studies, the People’s Liberation Army Navy now boasts the largest maritime force on the planet, with 234 warships to the US Navy’s fleet of 219 them not to.

    I've always heard the following fun facts:

    1. The world's largest air force by number of planes is the US Air Force. The world's 2nd largest air force is the US Navy.
    2. The world's 2nd largest navy by number of water vessels is the US Navy. The world's largest navy is the US Army.

    Maybe #2 isn't true anymore?

  • Next time you do it, remember what you did in your previous only attempts. It'll help make the only shot you have be successful for once, since once is all you get. If you keep at it, you'll get better with practice, and maybe eventually, you'll be able to make it happen for the first time.

  • Yep! I found him thru his Money Game series. At the time, he only had two parts. I slowly started listening to his other stuff and became a hardcore fan. Once Hi Ren came out, I was already all in. It hit so harddddd. The dude is extraordinarily talented. He's in my top 3 with Eminem and Residente.

    Congrats on finding him! Assuming that he's a bit of a unique artist and we both like him, we probably have some fundamental traits or other matters in common, so hi similar person 👋😁

  • Are y'all seeing the bullshit drama that's starting on Lemmy?! There's a post of a screenshot regarding email response times, and it somehow turned into a fight about Facebook. CRAZYYYY

  • I'm imagining some sort of three-pronged strategy. One, espionage to convince people in the nuclear chain of command to disregard any orders to fire nukes. This would involve converting people that have likely been thoroughly vetted by the Russian government. It would also be risky in that all it would take is for one person to snitch for the Russian government to catch on.

    Two, a cyber attack that disarms nuclear weapons firing systems. This would likely involve gaining physical access to many launch systems, infecting their computer systems, then letting the infection stay dormant without getting caught yet somehow activating it when necessary. Say for example they run a dummy drill without nukes, the infection could be discovered.

    And three, a interception system for nukes that are launched. This would be the most risky because it would involve intercepting nukes immediately after being fired. For ICBMs, we'd have to get them right after launch since once they're in space, it's nearly impossible to intercept, especially after the warheads separate from the rocket. Submarine-launched weapons might be easier to intercept if they're strapped to a rocket until detonation. Bombs would be nearly impossible, but it would be a lot easier to intercept the planes they're on.

    Overall, I would guess we'd be able to stop some Russian nukes from hitting NATO targets, but not all of them. It would be a wild guess to calculate the percentage that get intercepted/through. Russia has about 1,710 nuclear weapons deployed. Let's say they fire half of them as a retaliatory strike saving the other half as defense in case the retaliation stops a NATO attack. If only 1% of that half make it through, that's still 85 8.5 nuclear strikes. If only a 10th of that were aimed at major cities, that would be 8 major NATO cities that are obliterated and then require major recovery efforts.

    Not one country is prepared to recover from a nuclear strike because that's virtually all natural disasters in one. Imagine the devastation if London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. There would not only be major loss, but the rest would have to dedicate immense resources to helping those areas recover, further pulling resources away from defense and counterattack. We would also have to consider that the other 75 nukes attacked infrastructure and military targets, so we'd be severely incapacitated.

    tl;dr: stopping and surviving a Russian nuclear attack is practically impossible

  • that's a barometer for landing. it measures relative air speed, then subtracts the plane speed. there's another one on the other side for plane speed that measures relative air speed, then subtracts the wind speed calculated from the barometer.

  • I usually forget something when it is no longer relevant to something in my life over a long period of time.

  • Pakistan and India have enough nukes to cause major famine across the world. Russia alone has enough nukes to nearly if not surely end humanity even if only 1% of the human population were killed directly from a nuclear explosion. I think the only way NATO could take Russia is if they were to somehow disarm their nukes.

    Also, we have to consider alliances. Russia and North Korea are closely aligned. If the entire world went to war with NK, it is still possible that South Korea would be devastated because they have setup their entire military to shell the fuck out of South Korea at a moment's notice and have an extensive underground tunnel system for retaliatory purposes. However, it's possible that NK would value self-preservation over maintaining it's alignment with a Russia that will definitely not exist anymore.

  • fun fact: back in 2000s before Uber, I used to sit in the front every time. I thought it was more respectful of the cab driver for some reason 🤦‍♂️
