The US is planning for a new tank roundabout 2030. While right now it notionally is going to be an Abrams derivative
Are you referring to the M10 Booker or the M1E3? The M10 is it's own design, while the M1E3 (which should become the M1A3 on adoption) is a refresh of the Abrams, and it's not an either/or.
If you look up The Chieftain on Youtube, he's speculating the M1E3 will focus on integrating all of the add-on modules that have become standardized of the past couple of decades. This will likely reduce the weight of the tank from a whopping 72 tons to make it possible to address future threats while keeping the overall weight low enough to cross bridges.
Some people are speculating that the M1E3 will get an auto-loader, but the couple of tons those weigh is significantly more than a hyperactive 18yo, so we'll see how that works out
If it makes you feel better, the package to modernize A-10's costs more per plane than a brand-new F-35. The F-35 has also become fairly cheap to maintain per flight hour over the past couple of years due to economies of scale. It's now comparable to the F-16 in that regard.
Also, the controls and avionics are being adopted in the upgraded F-15s that will be produced soon
Or fanboys going through all reviews and downvoting any negative reactions. I'm willing to bet folding money that Hollow Knight's user score is going to go up because of this because their fanbase is toxic af
In Pathfinder the "good" dragons can be just as fucked up. One set up a "perfect society" for humanoid races on an island, where the government performs eugenics and brainwashing and banishes anyone that shakes off the brainwashing
Head's up, referring to it as a "limit" like your article did is incorrect. In engineering you have what's called an S-N diagram, which plots out the average time to failure based on average cyclic stress. Basically, a lower avaerage stress results in a higher average life. Also, this plot uses a logarithmic scale for both axis, because then all of the plots are straight lines.
For steel, the S-N diagram has what's called the "knee", which is where you have two distinct lines in the S-N curve: one horizontal and one at an angle, with the two intersecting at 1 million cycles. Referring to the knee as a limit (like in the article) is wrong because it's not a limit; it's the threshold where if you design a part to last beyond that (aka less cyclic stress than would get 1 million cycles) then it practically lasts forever.
In reality, the part won't actually last forever, since the S-N curve beyond 1 million cycles isn't perfectly horizontal. It's just that reducing your cyclic stress quickly increases your predicted life into billions or even trillions of cycles. This is known as ultra-high cycle fatigue, and it's generally impractical to do all the testing required to model because each sample would take months to test on the low end. Plus, there's little demand for such models in the industry, though there are a handful of PhD students and post-docs working on it
As far as video game adaptations go these days, this actually seems pretty true to the source material.
Uh... What? Look at the casting- Roland should be a straight-man (in comedy terms) but they've cast Kevin Hart to tell his typically unfunny cracks. And while I love Kate Blanchett she is not a good fit to play Lilith
Not only that, they probably would have been better off not using the original 4 playable characters since every game comes with a new set. Just make sure the side characters are done well and you keep the same feel as the games and it should have been an easy win
Personally, I have a subscription to Shonen Jump's app and love it, while kmanga insists on trying to get you to buy individual chapters, which I refuse to do.
Also have a crappy pricing scheme that people have been pushing against for years, while Shonen Jump rakes in money by having their app and monetization not suck
Hopefully it's a bit more polished since DOOM 2016 is an example of the system being used really well. I found the first game to be a bit clunky at times
I would recommend playing the first game (it's good, though it is showing some age). Apart from that: no, you don't really need to know the lore to follow along. And the comments in this thread have given more than enough background to follow it.
That being said, if you're interested in the lore I've been listening to a podcast called "Laying Down the Lore Warhammer 40k". I found it entertaining and informative
Yet you still see people grumbling about how restrictions on chinese EV imports are just "American/Western Imperialism", since people apparently don't understand how valueable domestic production is
While I agree, I do have to clarify that there is a fatigue limit, it's mainly that the limit for steel increases so fast that few people are willing to put in the testing for billions of cycles to model ultra-high cycle fatigue
