but so far the number of dead children has dramatically decreased since Biden was in office.

The reporting on it has certainly decreased, but I don’t think either you nor I can say this is true with any amount of certainty.

Besides, “Israel is playing nice now that they have their ace in the White House” isn’t really the big win you make it out to be. Biden continued shipping armaments, Trump is doing that and more as well as actively making plans with Netanyahu for the expulsion and destruction of Gaza.

The only way we were ever going to fix this from our side of the ocean was by putting a warhead on Netanyahu’s forehead but that was never going to happen with either choice.

“How to put a collar on a cat” yeah that tracks honestly

Hi, it’s me, here to ruin the fun as usual.

Noel and Liam Gallagher are the Gallaghers in question, and their band has been successfully sued for plagiarism on three different occasions.

I’m with Squid on this one.

Hit em with the Brown Note

The aviation industry can absorb a whole lot of sin before they’re on equal danger footing with automotive, if for no other reason than sheer volume. Most people, unless you fly constantly for work, get on a plane once a year or less. Most people drive to work almost every day. Roads have traffic, the skies do not (at least, not nearly to the same extent, midair collisions can happen but they’re rare).

I have no doubt the skies are about to become noticeably less safe, but they’ve got a looooot of catching up to do before they dethrone the automobile as one of the top 3 leading causes of death in America.

Oblique angles on all possible bulkheads, and probably the biggest fuck-you electromagnet the military can strap onto a ship.

The way I understand it, a railgun slug by definition of the way a railgun works is required to be made of ferrous metal. We can use that to defend against it. A quarter second blip of extreme magnetism may be able to repel the bullet (or, alternatively, attract it off course from the main body of the ship). You’ll EMP the shit out of anything on board, but eh, you can harden against that if you know it’s coming.

Only other solution I can think of off hand is slagging the incoming round with laser fire but I have trouble believing you’d be able to detect, target, and vaporize an incoming railgun round in the amount of time you have between detection and impact. Those suckers move fast. Average result feels like it would be, congrats, you weren’t hit by a railgun round, but you have been hit by ten pounds of liquid metal moving at nearly relativistic speeds. Potato potato.

Though, with the magnetic defense, the logical next step here is to develop a sort of ferrous sabot round that can accelerate the (non ferrous) payload and then release it to then completely not give any shits about further magnets. You pull that off and your opponent will have to rely on a laser intercept system or similar, and then - yeah, basically, whoever shoots first wins.

There’s a lot to be said for good armor with good oblique angles though. Deflecting force is always going to be easier than absorbing it. If you can arrange to never give your enemy a good shot at a good flat plane, they’ll have a lot harder time penetrating your armor no matter how fast their shots are going. This won’t save you all the time but it’ll do a lot more than you’d probably expect.

That’s been the conservative MO for decades: create a huge, super fucked up problem that would never exist if they didn’t force it into being, and then sell you the solution to it.

Don’t know why the Republicans suddenly want to kill their cash cow.

The average conservative isn’t informed or intelligent enough to understand how drastically they benefit from the horrible working conditions that migrant workers deal with, and they hate brown people.

The entire movement has been backing themselves into this corner for decades.

Look bro, I just handed you an entire SPNKR rocket launcher and a Scorpion jump seat, whatever you do with those afterward is no longer my concern. I’m busy driving.

Ah yes, the knife gun.

Cooperation is pussy liberal shit, a real American dies alone

Nice.

I came in here to post about having a copy of Titus Burkhardt’s Alchemy tome and DKMU Assault On Reality but I think yours might take the cake instead, as well as possibly including both of those texts.

Literally any other politician I could believe would be stupid enough to rile everyone up about tariffs but still be hesitant to pull the trigger on it out of fear of the economic repercussions.

Trump straight up doesn’t understand the repercussions, will fire anyone who tries to explain them to him, and has no reservations whatsoever about pulling any triggers that he can get his lil fingies around.

You mean the free trade agreement that Trump is currently trying to tear down?

Hell, he’ll probably ask y’all to pay taxes on transport, even for things you aren’t selling here.

Not for long! It’ll be underwater soon.

I drive a 2005 Honda Civic, I for one am absolutely cackling watching these chuds roll up in their 30 foot long 12,000 lb Ford Brodozer, it costs $80 to fill that thing up when fuel is cheap. Once it hits $5 or more a gallon those trucks are toast. Meanwhile I’m rolling away with $30 in gas to fill my tank and plans to get an EV.

Nah, honestly, I agree. No sarcasm or anything. I’ve seen a lot of you recently, going around and calling out mods and admins for their bad takes. I think this is a great service to the rest of us who don’t have the time and inclination to do so.

It is not your responsibility to do so, but so long as you are doing it, I appreciate it. I’m sure many others do as well. Community leaders need to be held to a high standard and in order for that to happen someone has to check them about it. We aren’t well organized here and we don’t have a method for that beyond people just like you crawling the mod logs and making noise where it’s warranted.

Thank you.

Not trans, per se, but Jesus (or at least, symbolic representations of him and what he stands for) have been hermaphroditic from the very beginning. The source point of divinity is the Union of Opposites according to alchemists - who were quite Christian for the most part.

The assignment is fundamentally flawed.
