this sounded weird so i looked it up, and it seems to be a sort of mistranslation, iranian soldiers were given a booklet of pamphlets called “Keys to Paradise” along their dogtags en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_key_to_paradise
you don’t need to check everything. let’s say that spot is 10px wide, then you can check every 8th pixel meaning now you only need to check 16x12 px. then, maximum is gotta be in one of these 8x8 squares around shiny pixel, so you can sample middle of each to find out where it might be. then, scan that 8x8 square pixel by pixel to find maximum
this might be reason for not using absurdly good optics
do you even get back energy used up on making that plasma in the first place? how badly does it get fucked up by HCl? these trucks are still infrastructure, just mobile and not even real. it has a hint of hyperloop trying to eliminate new railway projects
also trucking waste to waste energy extraction plant would probably still use up less energy than trucking around entire facility. this all makes it sound like badly thought out nonsense
after wagner was dismantled in all but name (prigozhin was taken out eight months ago, can you believe that? time flies) the same deal was offered by russian army in form of Storm-Z battalions (it’s a real name, i couldn’t make it up if i tried). another low-quality type of units are BARS which is kinda, sorta like territorial defense units but it seems to me that they’re mostly football ultras and other menace that society at large wouldn’t miss
dirty bombs are movie plot threat, bombers, suicide or not are not an issue in usa because alternatives are more easily available. your take sounds weird and disingenuous
heh exactly, if they were actually taking corrupt officers out, they wouldn’t have any kind of command. telegram rumor is that he was spying for the west and the actual charge would be for treason, but they decided to keep it cool with “just” corruption charge for whatever reason. or maybe he fucked with wrong people at wrong time
A $61bn package of military aid for Ukraine could be signed off within days. So what weapons might it receive and what difference could they make in trying to stem Russian advances?...
your solution to road-mobile TELs is significantly less psychotic than what was once proposed by usstratcom, namely burning entire siberian forests where these trucks could plausibly hide with megaton-range airbursts
as far as i understand, modern mining explosives are thick slurries (or ANFO) that in some cases aren’t explosive at all in trailer, these are made so at borehole. and even then these need boosters, because a blasting cap won’t be enough to set them off. these boosters are also gels or slurries but this time packaged in waterproof film so they look like sausages. these all are safer, probably cheaper and less toxic than actual dynamite so it’s the modern replacement
there definitely are separate licenses, but this depends on country of course
don’t worry you’re already on all of the important lists
