  • I haven't seen it since I pirated each episode as it was released. Nowadays I find myself onboard incontinental flights every so often, so I think 4400 is next on my rewatch list. Long flights is mostly spent bingewatching.

  • On a serious note, it happens to me often. We're a small crew of field service employees, and our meals are covered when we'reout and about, so when it's my time to get lunch, I need the receipt, and sometimes it lists donuts.

    On an even more serious note, that font really gives me a dyslexic attack. And I don't even have dyslexia.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Island

    Stunt Island is a plane sim based around the concept of being a stunt pilot in the movie industry. You get specific instructions on how to fly what and where, and you need to pull it off.

    My favorite mission was to fly a duck, drop an egg on the police car. Another one was landing a cessna on a street and pulling up to a burger joint.

    Or if you didn't feel like completing these contracts, you could just grab whatever you wanted, and explore the island.

  • Seconding this gentlepreferredgenders answer. Logistics is normally easy: don't send soldiers past your logistical reach. The extent of this reach is what determines an armys capacity for offensive maneuvers.

    One side of US military is its capacity to project power all around the world, and support that through its logistics apparatus. Few countries can project power in the same way (France and UK, mainly. And to an extent Indonesia).

    Russia has its military, including the logistics portion, based around rail transport (For example, the IS10 tank was a good tank for its time, but couldn't be transported very easily like the lighter tanks could, which is one of the factors that lead to USSR shifting her strategy away from heavy tanks). Having a logistics network based on rail makes sense from a defensive perspective, but run into problems when on the offensive - now you have to secure rail infrastructure to expand the logistical network as you go, as well as keep it maintained and not sabotaged. this is resource intensive when dealing with insurgencies.

    And even if you get decent control of a decent rail network, then the issue becomes delivering that last mile - in theory easy, but you need logistics hubs that can offload trains and load stuff onto trucks. Even after russia got (some of their) shit together, this was a bottleneck that was struck by himars several times, and videos have shown that even the unexploded logistics hubs are highly inefficient, because for reasons I cannot understand, a lot of the goods aren't stacked on standardized pallets that are easily moved by forklift. Instead you see things such as offloading a truckfull of landmines (probably without their detonators in) the same way you would a pile of gravel; tip the flatbed, and let everything slide off onto the ground, ready to be moved by hand.

    Source: i used to be in army logistics. And I like trains.

  • Same. But I'm lucky to be in an industry where most people involved are aware of the difficulties that come with running a highly dynamic network with satellite locations connecting in via VPN over vsat.

    "2mbit isn't enough? Sure, we can increase it to 5mbit, just sign the purchase order for additional 5000$ per month"

  • I would've jumped on this instantly, but I finally landed on a Min21 configuration that works well. New laptop => new hardware => need new nvidia driver => need new kernel.

    Which kernel does LMDE currently ship with?
