  • The "launcher" is probably one of those under barrel AR-15 attachments which is trivial to get (expensive and might also require the steps below, but that's a one time thing).

    The grenades though:

    To legally purchase, make, or possess a Destructive Device (DD) you must:

     
            Be 21+ years of age to purchase a DD from a dealer.
    
        Be 18+ years of age to purchase a DD from an individual on a Form 4 to Form 4 transfer (contingent on state laws).
    
        Be 18+ years of age to make and register a DD on a Form 1 (contingent on state laws).
    
        Be 18+ years of age to possess a DD as a beneficiary of a trust or as a member of a corporation (contingent on state laws).
    
        Be a resident of the United States.
    
        Be legally eligible to purchase a firearm.
    
        Pass a BATFE background check.
    
        Pay a one-time $200 tax to register or transfer the item.
    
        Reside in a state that currently allows ownership of DD’s.
    
    
      

    And you have to do the forms and pay the $200 for each grenade individually.

  • Presumably the other 2/3'rds are operational. Presumably.

    We'll have to see how much of their previous pace they can keep up. In any case, every military that can, keeps some things in reserve. What's the likelihood that the ones in storage are still there and not gutted for parts that got sold for vodka?

  • You have to be careful, most heads are covered by only a veneer of hard outer shell before you hit the gooey center. Find someone with experience. Head resizing is very much a "you just have to have a feel for it" kind of art, not an exact science.

  • Thankfully that means someone in the chain of command knows what the fuck they're doing and rightfully kept this rotted nutsack away from actionable intel. When you know someone is compromised or a spy, you cut them out of the loop while feeding them Intel you want your enemy to have.

  • Python is an interpreted language that doesn't need a main function explicitly. You can define any package entry points you want at the package config level. (setup.py, etc)

    example: What I meant was I prefer language that treat developers like adults. If I want ptrhon's "ux" to hide some functions or objects I can do that with underscores, but nothing is private, a developer using my library can do whatever they want with it, access whatever internals they want (at their own risk of course)

  • Python doesn't need the name main check to function at all. that's just a convenience feature that lets developers also include arbitrary entry points into modules that are part of a library and expected to be used as such. If you're writing a script, a file with a single line in it reading print("hello world") will work fine when run: python thescript.py

  • back then the buzz word was "expert system" and later "fuzzy logic", all kinda sorta leading down the same path LLM 's have taken today, they just didn't have the compute power back then.
