My guy, we didn’t have widespread death squads or a third world war last time. What do you mean you couldn’t imagine a worse disaster than the first four years?
Plenty of people are toeing the line for starting a revolution (which will in fact be a second civil war), but no one has followed anyone who’s crossed it. I’m convinced that it’s going to get ALOT worse before it gets better.
“The wild boar I drugged with fentanyl is under the bed , about to wake up.”
It just needed a comma, not more words. An ‘and’ would have also sufficed.
Edit: also your correction communicates that the bed is about to wake up instead of the boar.
Do note that it is the same person in each picture. Nihilism is to absurdism as pasta is to spaghetti.
Yeeeaaahh, we really did turn a tool which was supposedly meant to enhance our performance in the real world into a world of its own, that’s often mentally addictive and exploitative.
At the same time, the real world is properly fucked right now, where individuals are highly isolated from one another and there are financial barriers at every turn. I don’t blame folks who get stuck in a spot where they only have people they want to interact with online.
I think that any adult secret society is either going to be lame and boring, or it quickly escalates into a cult, gang, cartel, racket, or terrorist organization, depending on the group’s intentions.
who said anything about ethics? om nom nom
The steps are:
JPEG XL (JXL) seems promising, being able to do a fair amount of compression while keeping images still high quality.
2x0 is still 0, bro woulda got more than twice what homie got.
In other news, the colony Szinthar failed to update its software systems due to a lack of pregrammers and Techmancers. Signals received suggest there were no survivors.
TBF, I understand this annoying kind of ‘reading into it’. at the same time, if someone starts dropping dogwhistles or starts dancing around something in a convo, i am definitely gonna read into that shit.
prior comment edited for ya.
you’re correct, they do not strap guns to improvised attack drones. they’re not necessarily single-use either, though. A kamikaze drone will detonate its payload while its still attached, which is an option. There is plenty of footage of IADs which use a servo to just physically drop a payload onto targets from above, and those could potentially be used over and over. I think the kamikaze version is able to be more effective, for a variety of reasons, but both versions seem to be seeing use.
it’s not necessarily with a bullet. Most improvised attack drones drop explosive payloads, since it’s both simpler to set up and simpler to use. Outfitting a drone with a gun takes making a complicated system for aiming it, while a payload drone just needs some 3d-printed parts, some extra wiring, and usually just a single servo.
GarandThumb did some tests in a video a while back. IIRC he did both choked and not, along with different types of shot and slugs. everything but birdshot was pretty effective out to a couple dozen yards? I’ll track it down and drop a link after I’ve rewatched.
EDIT: so in “How Deadly are Shotguns”, they fire 00 Buck unchoked at around 7 - 8 minutes, and it is still getting a drone-sized spread at 21 yards. In the video “How Far are Shotguns Deadly? BirdShot, Slugs, and 00 Buckshot”, we see birdshot and 00 Buck used choked all the way out to 120 yards. From my perspective, birdshot and 00 buck start having a potentially viable spread at 50 yards (slowmo spread footage at 14 minutes).
I think that most likely, a pellet size between birdshot and 00 would be better, to provide that peppering effect while still delivering greater impulse per pellet. Garand also mentions in the first video that chokes can actually cause wider spread when used with shot, so unchoked shotguns may be ideal for an anti-drone function.
So how do you pay off your tit loan? Like, how is it different from rent-a-tit? Am I going to end up getting loaned 30 tits and have to pay back annual tit interest? Am I going to have to give them fractions of a tit? Where do I get more tits?
It’s all very messy.
