General Mark Milley did. That’s who the quote comes from.

Here’s a post I made a while back. If you read the rest of that specific news megathread then there’s more stuff.


An AI could never make the Folgers incest commercial.


Too Slow! And it’s not in the metaverse but in Berlin.


LMAO at the idea that Ukraine is making the US more fascist. Its like saying the Polish made Nazi Germany more fascist. Ukraine is a testbed for US (and European) fascism.


shitass idea number one : ukraine has been shooting down drones with f-16 gattling gun. way cheaper than aa missiles. but debris can still damage the aircraft
SOLUTION : TURRET JET FIGHTER (if you don’t know, turret fighters are a ww2 era concept that were abandoned for not being good enough)
This is kinda already being done. They’re using helicopters with aimable machineguns/autocannons to shoot down drones from the side.
shitass idea number 2 : a lot of times, tanks get neutrolized by its crew abandoning it when it gets immobilezed. most anti tank weaponry have only penetrative power. they rely on hitting and exploding inside shells. when crew is abandonning a autoloader tank, they will press a button and tank will shoot all the shells, high explosive shells first, to a safe distance after few minutes. maybe add a device that safely burns fuel outside too
Also kinda being done. This is the concept behind the blowout panels on the M1 Abrams. The ammo is stored in a compartment separate from the main compartment. There’s an armored door that opens to get the shells inside the proper part of the tank. If the shells in the blowout compartment explode the explosion blows out the blowout panels and is channelled outwards. The problem is that those blowout panels need to be less armored than the rest of the tank (so they’ll actually blowout instead of blow in) and they’re vulnerable to FPV drones.

If I am playing Chess with you, and I call “Checkmate” … The game is over, right? I won. Or do you think you should be able to undo your last move after you lost and try something else? And then try again, and again, hoping that somehow you can come up with something that avoids the checkmate?
This is very common when teaching people chess, you let the learner undo a move after they see your response. It’s a great way to learn and is pretty commonly allowed as an advantage when playing against less experienced players.


Don’t worry too much about missing things, it’s not that kind of game. Feel free to try vibe-based and experimental stuff, it’s not a difficult game. I would avoid the wiki until you feel you need it. However, here are things I would have liked to know when I started.
Edit: Somebody else mentioned that if you don’t like a specific part of the gameplay (fishing, etc.) you don’t have to do it. I would like to emphasize this.
Edit2: They added big chests? Damn, maybe I should also get back into it.


keeping a note under my keyboard in an attempt to secretly communicate my intentions to my partner and then immediately folding when asked one question and meticulously giving a written record of everything the state needs to prove my guilt in a chat log while I am vacating the scene
That’s probably a zoomer thing. They have all kinds of memes like this.


The roommate looked under the keyboard and found a note that stated, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.” Police found a photograph of this note.
“To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.”
The fuck?


What’s the format this conversation is supposed to have taken place over? Is this face-to-face or over text?


Group A’s trinket can instantly produce any raw resource. A raw resource is anything that could exist without a humor labor process (cooking, blacksmithing, woodworking, etc). If something absolutely requires human labor to be put into it to exist, it can’t be made by the magic box.
What can group A even create? They can’t make metals but they can maybe makes ores? They can’t make any food except for what can be found in the wild? They can’t even make domesticated animals, they have to summon wild deer or something. They might be able to make stone dwellings if they can summon raw resources in any shape. They wouldn’t be able to make lumber or even timber but could make trees? They could make rain water in any quantity so that’s pretty nice.
Group A would probably fuck up and try to make a new sun (so it isn’t so dark at night) and accidentally destroy the planet because they made it only 1000 miles away.


“Actually my algorithms are good and will only mass murder guilty people”


decide to flip the switch, unguard the switch and flip it
Are you aware of what the F-35 cockpit looks like? It’s mostly a giant touchscreen. What’s all this nonsense about “flipping a switch”? Surely you mean navigate to the correct settings menu.


The F-35 is a piece of shit. There were two separate problems.
A. Problem 1 is that the hydraulic fluid froze because of shitty maintenance. It’s not supposed to do that. This caused the landing gear to become stuck in a partially retracted position. The pilot couldn’t land so he called tech support and spent 50 minutes on a conference call. B. The tech support guys told him to do some touch and go landings to see if that fixes the problem. Basically hitting the landing gear against the runway to see if that fixes it. C. During the 2nd touch and go landing the F-35 decided it was landed and switch the pilot from the flying controls to the ground controls. These are really only meant for doing stuff on the ground like taxi-ing or starting the take-off. You can’t fly the plane like this so the pilot ejected and the plane crashed.
Yes there should be an override but also that may not have helped in this situation. Once the F-35 decided it was on the ground he would have only a few seconds to figure out the problem, override the system, and pilot his way out of a crash. What would have been useful is an override he could have set up in advance to prevent the F-35 from switching to ground mode regardless of what its sensors tell it. I’m sure Lockheed can code something like that for a few billion dollars.


He didn’t. He was flying for 50 minutes in the normal and correct “fly-by-wire” settings. Then he did two touch and go landings. On the second touch and go the F-35 decided that he was now on the ground. The new fly-by-wire settings were now in ground mode and this made it impossible to fly the plane properly in the air.
These
brutish Afghan savagesdevious Asiatic Slavs failed to win the war inAfghanistanUkraine despite us doing literally everything possible for them. I can’t believe we everconsidered these Arabs humanconsidered these Slavs honorary whites. It didn’t help that we were stabbed in the back bythe DemocratsDonald Trump who undermined all of America’s efforts to win the war for them.This entire war was a mistake unlike the next oneAt least we didn’t get any American troops killed so we are ready we fight in our next good war againstChinaRussiaChina.
