Do note that the this claim comes from the same people who don't hand out any actual specs and always fly with an additional reflector. The latter makes it easy for radars to see them again. This is helpful in allied airspace, but it also makes it impossible to verify the claim.

Also note that modern radars are sensitive to how fast an object approaches (or leaves) the radar. Bumblebees don't break the soundbarrier usually, so it is possible to see these planes, but you do have to tweak your radar for it. (Hence why the US doesn't give specs.)

It doesn't even make sense. Hypersonic missiles are good at being hard to take down themselves. But you don't need that to take down an aircraft. You need super sensitive radar systems, since the claim is that these aircraft reflect about as much energy as a bumblebee would.

There is a subtle, but important, difference between letting people know your product exists or improved, and brainwashing people into buying your product.

Is a grocery saleman at the local saturday market allowed to shout about the sale he is doing on strawberries? Because that is also marketing.

I fully agree that the average advertisement you see on youtube is pure cancer. But what about an advertisement for an emergency fund for a disaster?

What about a sponsored video of a game?

Where do you draw the line?

Nobody dies of "old age". As you become older, it is becomes harder to survive various diseases or afflictions. But where do you draw the line? If someone was to weak and fragile to leave their bed, and died due to no longer getting any energie from food, is that dying of old age? And what if they are to fragile to leave their cage?

If one is allowed to set timespan for "execution" to "however long it takes me to die of old age", then I argue it is also perfectly fine to take some liberty with the definition of "die of old age".

Sure thing. You will do so in that cage over there. To the guards: He already had his last meal.

More like "fediverse" instead of "social". Facebook is also a "social", but it does not communicate with other fediverse instances. The fact that you are federated and share content is what should be in the name.

And behold: many instances DO use fediverse over lemmy in their name.

But Lemmy is not perfectly compatible with Mastodon and kbin. At the time some of the instances were made, Lemmy could not even federate with Mastodon at all. So it makes sense that instaces explicitly picked a name with Lemmy in it.

I thought ghost busting was Beverly's thing?

According to my google search results, ECCW is either a Dutch cyber security organisation, or a Canadian Wrestling thing.

I used to put that one in the same category as the man-in-suit gorn from TOS: budget/tech restrictions. But even in the latest SNW episode, we see someone waking up on a piece of wreckage with gravity still perfectly fine, while also getting several zero gravity scenes in the same episode.

The PVV (likely the biggest party in todays elections) is actually VERY economically left. They are only right, because they are very conservative. They hate EU regulations, want to stop support to Ukraine, and want to stop most immigration. But they also want to reduce taxes on groceries, reduce healthcare privatisation, and increase minimum wage.

The problem with all those plans, is that they are just bulletpoints. They never made a sound financial plan. Now they will have to prove that they can actually deliver all these promises, while being forced to cooperate with parties that refuse to break the constitution. I do not believe they can.

In the same line of thinking: do I go blind if I turn invisible? After all: no light falls onto the receptors in my eyes, it all just passes through.
