Would be so funny if it wasn't real.

Why are they even doing this? Because pain and suffering is the intention? To throw off search results for Russian meat grinder articles and discussions? What a world we live in.

Felt this. I haven't really ever felt proud of America. It was weird growing up with immigrant parents, proud of their new homeland, just for me to learn of all its atrocities across the world and be like: "y'all moved here for this? They murdered and raped your birth country!" I really want to be more optimistic and hopeful, it's just so hard with everything going on and how overt the racists are these days.

Living the dream friend. I want that sense of community so bad. All my life I've lived isolated from others and it fucking sucks. My dad would always scold me: "go outside and play, get off the computer, blah blah blah" but like with whom? Glad your kids get to be kids. Cheers

A great idea for gyms too with their frustrating cancellation policies.

Just donated last night. I've been using this keyboard for the past month. I switched over from gboard. While I've never really used speech to text I'm just glad that this keyboard is so privacy focused. You can swap out the llms too if it fits your style

Wait there was a nuclear test less than a year ago?

Edit: Wikipedia says the most recent test was on 2017/09/03, ~~making this photo taken on 2018/04/01~~

Edit 2: I found the article this photo is from with more context. TL:DR it was reset back in 2022 bc the US conducted two clandestine tests.

We're gonna need it

 

A cargo ship crashed into one of two main supports for the 2.5km long bridge at around 1:30AM EDT.

There is an ongoing search and rescue effort and authorities are looking for upwards of seven people.

 

A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...

This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.

Point defense lasers (self.theexpanse)
submitted 1 year ago by Winter8593 to c/theexpanse
 

I've read other posts on places like Quora or Reddit about how ineffective lasers would be as anti personal or anti ship weaponry, but what about for point defense? We see cases in the story of the PDCs running out of ammo/jamming/other mechanical failures. Theoretically, lasers would be less prone to such issues as there are fewer moving parts, right? Contemporary militaries have (sea/air) ship mounted lasers to destroy or jam incoming missiles, so why wouldn't this work in space? I understand people or ships could have ablative armor but would that be practical on a missile? PDLs would not be subject to running out of ammo, and if ships can power railguns they should be able to provide ample power for lasers capable of slagging or jamming incoming missiles.
