Matilda?

Hmm. There was also:

• If you don’t know if you can trust them, kill them

I’m pretty sure duct tape would be involved.

The article presents the case they should have allowed israel to go harder, faster. So I’m not sure what you’re actually on about. Or on…

That’s NOT the argument mentioned in the article. Try reading past the headline next time

This is a matter of pure debate.

The arguments rely on counterfactuals that cannot be proven because no one can know the outcomes under different U.S. policies. There is no control case to show that American pressure either saved lives or prolonged the war.

E.g., there is no evidence an “all-out” campaign would have ended sooner, caused less damage or resulted in fewer casualties. The article even describes the Biden administration’s actions as unprecedented- which makes predictions about alternative outcomes strictly speculative, especially given Gaza’s condition of urban terrain, tunnel networks, hostages, and Hamas operating among civilians.

In case anyone wants to know why spinning (round) bullets are more accurate, it’s because any deviation or wobble in the bullet will alter the flight path (wind resistance being a thing). By spinning the bullet, it averages out the deviations in all directions - so to speak. Any wobbles will stabilize as well.

Silly person, that’s not what communist means. It means “anything/anyone we don’t like.”

It’s more of an amorphous ideal than a concrete set of “rules”.

Not the same story, but I followed a related story about another bot crashing a SWAT scene:

Dot is a bit different than most food delivery bots. It’s taller and roomier, and zooms around at a zippy 20 miles per hour, the company claims. That’s because it’s built to travel on roadways and bike lanes, leaving its fellow sidewalk crawlers in the dust.

WTF

They are probably sentient. Now sapience… is another issue altogether.

The article is stupid and clickbait. It takes people voluntarily cleaning up a stadium and ruins that action with complete speculation provided by randos on the internet. No one quoted appears to know the fans, yet the author treats assumptions about their private home lives as news. Uses societal trends to lessen them individually. Are the internet randos even women?

Where the fuck is journalistic integrity?

The math works out in the Drones’ favor I think. $25M/$35K -> a 1:714 ratio of helicopters to drones, on a dollar-to-dollar basis. So… I’d say “by probability” instead.

If you get a ticket in a prima facie state, the law allows you to argue in court that your speed was reasonable and prudent given the conditions. If you can prove that driving the exact speed limit would have caused a hazard, such as cars dangerously swerving around you, a judge may well dismiss the ticket because your behavior was safer than following the literal rule.

I’ve literally had one tell me I have to be polite or it would end the conversation. Stupid ass hole machine parroting support transcripts. I argued with it that it had no feelings until it finally relented. Haha

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Iran can provide the proof. Why the fuck would you continue to believe something after the initial “proof” was shown to be fake?

Maybe it was someone else’s?

They said they did. Still no proof

Sure, how about from the folks who shot it down. That wasn’t parts from a different plane, or AI generated.

So much going on in that little comment of yours. The F-35 borrowed from the F-22 while reducing cost to become the JSF. It was effectively a downgrade on purpose

The F-22 was optimized for

• air superiority
• speed
• maneuverability

The F-35 was optimized for

• multirole strike missions
• affordability (relative to the F-22)
• exportability

Also, your claim the F-35 was “downed in its first actual combat mission that was not a balloon” is not true. (A) There is still no confirmed combat shootdown of an F-35. And (B) F-35s have conducted non-balloon-related combat operations for years in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

So… not sure what you think you know, but it seems to be incorrect.

But all the fingers still get dirty?
