  • Thank you! I found a free copy on on Google Play Books, so I'm gonna give a look with my balls of eye.

    Fun fact: I remember learning about this in school. Apparently, that's the Bible that people in court typically swear upon. 🧑‍⚖️ maybe not

  • Thank you! 😊 It gets more true every day. Yours is cool too. To me, it has a sense of paradox or maybe being on a different schedule than the rest of us.

  • I was in the US military, so that was my angle. Don't know about the rest. @BombOmOm@lemmy.world seems like they might have been in the US military also.

  • Small unit leadership. Units down to the squad level (13 Soldiers/Marines), are in control of themselves. They are given objectives, constraints, and all relevant info, then told to achieve the mission. They're also in constant communication with other nearby units. There is no solid plan. It is all contingency.

    Squad leaders get a 5 paragraph order: SMEAC

    • Situation: What the battle field look like.
    • Mission: What needs to be accomplished. Who, what, when, where, and most importantly, why? The why lets unit make adjustments as necessary.
    • Execution: Overall greater goal, enemy weak spots, and what other units will be doing for the mission.
    • Admin & logistics: Beans (food), bullets (ammo), band-aids (medical info/gear/plans), & bad guys (EPWs)
    • Command & signal: Command structure and communication matters

    These units figure it out on their own and coordinate with other units that are in control of themselves also. From what I hear, Russian troops are all dependent on commands from an officer! lol. That would be insane in the American military. Everything would get paralyzed every time there is an unexpected issues, which in battle, is basically all there is. Battle is a series of unexpected issues. To quote the philosopher Mike Tyson, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

    tl;dr: The American military is trained to function assuming units know how they function best and everything will go to shit. It's designed to maximize individual strengths and be chaotic af. American units don't know what they're doing until they're doing it.

  • Everything with this guy is a scam. I wonder what this one is going to be.

  • I think this is a valid question. We should prepare for whatever is coming.

    I don't know though. Maybe sabotage the voting system enough to cast doubt, then tie the whole thing up in litigation? This still might not do it because I think the electors of a state can make a decision of behalf of the population if the voting doesn't workout as planned.

  • So the President's term is up, but not the VP? That logic doesn't seem consistent.

  • Congrats on having never been to a bar. In my experience, they're not healthy places. All sorts of debauchery and sadness happen at them, masked by alcohol and other drug use. They can be fun, and certainly many patrons are responsible and healthy, but that's not always the case. That's all.

  • Last night while watching videos of nuclear strikes like a normal person, I thought about how the coming election would be such an opportune time for Russia to strike the US. It could strike while Trump is going off on his stolen election bs, say that Harris is too weak and that's why Putin struck (whatever bs), and send the country into pure madness. I know it's insane and very unlikely, but I'm still worried about the election. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Either Trump wins and we're all screwed, or Trump loses and starts a legit insurrection. I hope I'm so wrong.

  • anyone know how I can play this game? I'm on an Ubuntu derivative

  • I'm happy to hear that you are safe and experienced no major damage. Hopefully, things get back to normal for you soon.

  • The houses in Florida are built considering hurricanes, so they are more sturdy. Also, Florida is super flat and it has been raining everyday for months, so the ground was permeable but a little full already. Because it's also near the ocean, the water can spread out into sea quickly.

    The houses in NC are much less sturdy, so they would be more susceptible to wind damage. Also, because of the mountains, the valleys become pools of flood water. The ground there is much harder than in Florida, so it doesn't absorb the rain as much. Since the pools are in the mountains, there's only two ways for the water to leave. For the lucky valleys that aren't entirely surrounded, the water can escape through the gaps making temporary rivers. The other route is through evaporation, which takes a long time. This delays the ability of recovery efforts because people literally can't even get to the disaster zone.
