That seems really useful for when an enemy drone is low enough to see, slow enough to track it for 10 seconds and not really doing anything.

Well, sort of. You want to get a good bit inside the waterbearing layer, and since that’s waterbearing, it tends to flow. And that makes the dirt on top of it collapse, which is makes even a stable slope slide down and kill you.
But it really doesn’t make sense to dig like this, because this is a LOT of digging to make what is in the end, a very narrow hole.
Normally you’d make a small hole, place a perforated tube inside, then get inside and start digging down. As you remove dirt from under the ring and inside the hole, the ring slides down, and the people on top extend it upwards. Then, ideally, you seal the bottom of the well with something like clay so your water doesn’t get too muddy, and you’re good to go!
What? This is an idiotic way to build a well. Why wouldn’t you get inside and dig down in there? You literally can’t get to groundwater like this, because the whole thing would fill up
Ahhh India, where the ecology is so fucked, this isn’t even harmful anymore
Buddy, you’re not the main character
10 years is two or three election cycles from now. Every government we have in western Europe is far too scared to do anything when they can just… Not.
Well, could they give HER the contacts?
We made the dodo extinct despite it being so gross they Dutch sailors nicknamed it the “walgvogel” or “revulsion bird”.
I mean, you’re here, soooo…
like, two weeks back, my home instance, lemmy.today, was two days late on material from sh.itjust.works.
I still don’t get NCD showing properly on sh.itjust.works, but I DO get new posts in my timeline, for some incomprehensible reason.
But in this case, it’s in the modlogs, not a bug.
Jukken Rappe has a very unfortunate name when you combine auto translate with Finnish grammer rules.
But other than that, I can only say “good!”
And of course, he’s a big fun of Putin.
Yeah, they could just slap an PMA+IDA port on Starship like the ISS has, but that’s just a hole with data and power ports. Those are pretty easy compared to fuel transfer, and they’re specifically NOT suited to lateral forces. It also seems a bit unfit-for-purpose to make a big and heavy crew-transfer dock when you don’t have to.
EDIT: You mention orbital fuel transfers. AFAIK, that hasn’t been even designed, at all.
They did an in-craft fuel transfer during their last test. While it’s certainly complex to pump fuel around without gravity, that’s only the small first step in actually transferring fuel. Making a connection in orbit that’s capable of fully refueling an entirely seperate craft is an order of magnitude harder.
dependancy on the whims of a corrupt billionaire is why NASA (and the US DoD, and the EU) are absolutely pushing for non-SpaceX spacetravel, even if it’s more expensive. I’m also pretty sure it’s why the Artemis program contracted a second lunar lander, despite having paid Musk over 3 billion for one already.
I’m in the Netherlands, helping out at a station in a school gym. This station had three booths, with one low-height voting booth, both for shorter people, but also for people in wheelchairs and whatever other reason. A man in his mid-30’s comes up in a wheelchair, we check his ID, hand him a ballot and the famous red pencil, and point to the direct of the booths, where someone has the temerity of allready occupying the wheelchair booth! GASP, SHOCK!
The guy proceeds to absolutely flip his shit, calling us bigots, racists, haters and nazis for not letting him vote from a wheelchair. That “people like us” have always hated him. For what’s it worth, note that both him and me are roughly the colour of fresh milk.
It was super awkward, because the man was “punch-your-face” angry, and I was the only person there who was under 60… But like… he’s in a wheelchair, and I’m sure he’d hurt himself a lot more than me. I was seriously considering just wheeling him out, but he hadn’t voted yet, and assholes have rights too, and the optics aren’t exactly great on that. One of the old ladies who also volunteered told me “Don’t worry girl, we get a few like that every time, just let him go and laugh about it over dinner”.
The kept ranting on his way out the door.
Luckily the home had their own staff join the groups that came to vote and resuscitated him and he continued exactly where he left off at tortoise pace.
That seems terrifying
I have some answers (but not the big one).
A “loafer” is an old timey word for tramp, from German/Dutch “landlaufer” meaning “land walker”.
The rest is speculation, but I think this is a sort of anger at nobody returning his umbrella. Nobody does this, which is why this “person” is just a stick. Someone stole Ev’s umbrella and didn’t return it. But you can beat up nobody, so, here’s a literal strawman to beat up.
But it would be very dangerous politically to allocate a lot of ressources to the military after the war, when the country is in dire need of restoration to where they were before the war.
I’d argue the reverse, Putin isn’t ruling democratically, he doesn’t need votes or approval. He DOES need a very strong military to stay in power, which is why Russia has the “national guard”, Rosgvardiya, under the sole authority of the president.
Of course, a palace guard military has very different material demands, and their main use is against civilians and other military, so the level of equipment can be decreased, but for a dictator to have a country full of disgruntled veterans is a very dangerous thing.
I’ve always assumed the dongle uses bluetooth as well. Why invent a new protocol when there’s one that does exactly what you want?
