Primarily designed for targeting infantry, the drone’s payload is capable of neutralizing enemy personnel over an area the size of a football field.
Now I’m in the Finnish reserves, and I’m starting to feel like those old officers in WWI must have felt like, watching new tech completely transform the battlefield.
Let’s just say I used to be very comfortable with my war time posting. Now less so, perhaps, even when these are on our side.
Oh I can completely see this happening in Finland as well.
Have a guy drunk with a bad belt and loose pants, he tries to shove someone but overreaches, falls down on his face while his pants fall down.
Hits his face while going down, passes out and people start looking/laughing. It’s like -20c outside so as soon as you touch ice or metal with a warm body part, you get stuck. And because he was unconscious he didn’t instantly move when he felt the ice hitting his dick, because he didn’t.
Then paramedics come and use warm water/salt to get him off without tearing his dick too badly.
Basic Friday.
Also BT has allowed multiple devices to connect to the same one for ages. Like since 4.0 at least.
I can have my headphones connected to my phone and my computer so that I just pause the audio on one and start up in the other. Sometimes the switch takes a second or two but that’s it.
It’s been like that for years on BT speakers, but probably not the very cheapest ones from like 5 years ago, (no offense to anyone I buy the cheapest ones I just happened to get a morr expensive one by luck back then), but my cheap-ass Chinese headphones can do that as can my generic brand bt speaker.
If you connect two devices, it usually prioritises the one which started playing media most recently. As in I put a song on, but then you click a song on your phone so it takes over.
So I feel like it’s more a skill issue with the guy you’re replying to but might just be older BT.
But see we already got the base unit of a second for time. But for generations, perhaps?
One kilomother would’ve been the early modern human, roughly. Ten kilomothers ago homo sapiens was just coming into being. A hundred kilomothers ago homo erectus would’ve just been coming into existence. A megamother ago we would’ve been diverging into great apes.
You can probably propose a new SI-base unit of “a mother”, but what does it measure?
“Metric” just essentially comes from “metering”. People confuse “metric” with “decimal”, which is sort of the point of the person I replied to. While metric time technically exists insofar as you just use seconds as the base unit, omit minutes and hours and just do SI-prefixes, the French did also try decimal time, but it was just horrible.
So if “mother” was the base unit and it measured something, in this instance time, the advent of agriculture was roughly four hectomothers ago. Or 0.4 kilomothers, if you will.
Oh?
“450 mothers ago” is roughly 363,500 megaseconds ago.
To be fair, measuring that in moms seems more intuitive.
I’ve a vague recollection of scribbling those letters on a CD with a marker.
Sure he wants to.
But Putin is an actually tough KGB guy. Trump is a floppy fatty who’s never had to fight anyone.
Last time Putin wanted a list of top US spies. Which Trump promptly gave and they started dropping like flies.
This isn’t an if. Trump is Putin’s bitch.
Lol what bullshit.
Trump dances to Putin’s whistle.
So now he’s pretending like he’s threatening Russia so he can say he’s “brokered peace but unfortunately there’s a few small conditions” and then the gives Ukraine the list of demands Putin wrote.
Edit and also probably with the caveat of “Ukraine if you don’t agree then we’re gonna stop all aid to you”
UBI to all.
The real cheaters are the billionaires.
Idk about the etymology of the American “whipping shitties”, but seeing it’s popular a saying in States where there have historically been Finns, I guess there could be a connection. Or not.
But in Finland we call it “ajaa paskarinkiä” “driving in a shit circle”
What the fuck have you’ve been smoking?
North Koreans have very limited knowledge of the outside world. They’re not entirely ignorant of it.
But remember that less than 100 years ago Europe was manipulated with hateful propaganda to the extent it was.
Remember that even currently, with access to free interet, there are people who still refuse basic facts like the Earth not being flat.
And you don’t think North Koreans may have been manipulated into thinking that we aren’t actually “free western democracies”, but evil monsters who rape babies while lying about “respecting human rights”.
Like it is exceedingly fucking arrogant of you to assume that because “they’re living it bro” that they knows what’s going on. Like saying that if a woman is in a relationship where she gets beaten and raped that they chose to do that and that “they’d know where to get help if they wanted it.”
What the fuck is wrong in dropping in information about the basic tenets of what we westerners claim to base our values on; valuing human rights in general, freedom, equal rights, democracy?
I think the should also drop usb sticks with libraries full of basic facts that NK soldiers may have never seen.
Perhaps occasionally a cheap e-reader as well. Can’t inform them when theyre in NK, but now that they’re there and youre already dropping leaflets, might be useful to try to deprogram them as well.
God a writing prompt I’m no writer but I’m drunk noooo.
I’m getting all sorts of ideas but again as I am no writer, I don’t know how well I’m gonna get them down.
But has anyone seen the Dr Who episode “Flatline”? >!2D beings invading a 3d space, basically.!< https://youtu.be/ll_UhrQMC-I
I think a mushroom would somehow evolve or “learn” to use electronics. Like accidentally being near a switch in the lab the mushroom grows in, and it’s near the switch for lights for plants in the lab. And the mushroom feeds on the plants. The lab is abandoned or it’s a fault the fungi gets near the switch or some such hijinks, but through that it learns benefits for electrical manipulation, even though it doesn’t actually know what it’s doing. It just knows it happened to manipulate electrics in some way, and the way it did it, it got more food.
This leads it to being “curious” about other electronics it faces (let’s say this is a mushroom in an abandoned robotics lab or something) and eventually it learns to manipulate a robot and through that, it learns to sense our world, of which it has no idea, except for the feedback it gets from the robots sensors, which it doesn’t fundamentally understand.
So it is the sentience, but mushroom sentiences are fucking weird.
I’d watch the shit out of what I imagine it to be. But since I have a hard time actually translating that into a movie myself to show you, you’re just gonna have to trust me. In like 5 years I’d be able to just show you through having an EEG BCI read my thoughts while writing this and having an AI translate it to a movie. But that’s only if we weren’t busy with destroying the world and no chance tech like that isn’t gonna be so proprietary that I wouldn’t have already been sanctioned with some shocks for violating intellectual property rights or something.
Thanks for the prompt, enjoy the incoherent comment.
Literally just walk down animals and eat them, like a paleolithic terminator. We could carry water and possibly some jerry/nuts, so could literally go for days without stopping.
Horses can gallop for like a mile or two and maybe go for like 20 without stopping.
And we have tracking abilities. There was some meme about that paleolithic terminator thing. Like an animal would see these weird naked apes in the distance and that’s it, they’re done. Doesn’t matter if they run or not, death is coming.
And we definitely still have that ability, physically.
Check this out.

Albert Ernest Clifford Young OAM (8 February 1922[1] – 2 November 2003[2]) was an Australian[2] athlete from Beech Forest, Victoria. A farmer, he became notable for his unexpected win of the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon in 1983 at 61 years of age.[3][4]
In 1983, now aged 61 years old, Young won the inaugural Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, a distance of 875 kilometres (544 mi). The race was run between what were then Australia’s two largest Westfield shopping centres: Westfield Parramatta in Sydney and Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne.[8] Young arrived to compete in overalls and work boots, without his dentures (later saying that they rattled when he ran).[9] He ran at a slow and loping pace and trailed the pack by a large margin at the end of the first day. While the other competitors stopped to sleep for six hours, Young kept running. He ran continuously for five days, taking the lead during the first night and eventually winning by 10 hours. Before running the race, he had told the press that he had previously run for two to three days straight rounding up sheep in gumboots.[10] He said afterwards that during the race he imagined he was running after sheep trying to outrun a storm. The Westfield run took him five days, fifteen hours and four minutes,[1] almost two days faster than the previous record for any run between Sydney and Melbourne, at an average speed of 6.5 kilometres per hour (4.0 mph).
And what a sportsman:
All six competitors who finished the race broke the old record. Upon being awarded the prize of A$10,000 (equivalent to $36,011 in 2022), Young said that he did not know there was a prize and that he felt bad accepting it, as each of the other five runners who finished had worked as hard as he did—so he split the money equally between them, keeping none.[11] Despite attempting the event again in later years, Young was unable to repeat this performance or claim victory again.
So that’s a “yes” on you enjoying calling random people you don’t know pedos for no reason.
That’s harmful to the fight against pedophilia, which means you’re helping pedophiles. Disgusting.
You enjoy calling random people pedos for no reason?
See that’s the more likely reason for your downvotes, rather than those people actually being pedophiles.
“Let this go”?
I don’t quite catch your meaning. You can just stop replying if you feel like it.
I’m just here pointing out you got buthurt over people disagreeing with you and started calling them pedos. Not too mature, is it?
Seconded.
It was very… experimental, I’d say. I applaud them for the balls to try. I feel like it wasn’t too far from achieving what it was going for.
Yesterday I was watching a musical episode of ST: Strange New Worlds after a few rums, and I really enjoyed it. However variety is expected from a show like Star Trek, especially because SNW sort of emulates the episodic feeling of the earlier shows.
My point being that while this particular episode was going for a jaunty positive sing-along, the Joker was probably going for something similarish but just in a dramatic and tragic sort of sense.
And the ST episode is ranked quite poorly as well, and I can see how I wouldn’t always enjoy it, but yesterday I really did.
So being “forced” to watch a musical is pretty much people’s problem, I think. Or seeing one without the expectation of seeing one.
