That’s not what’s going on here, but okay I guess.

Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

In case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

They are the soldiers responsible for operating the missile defense system.

I think that’s why they said between the maintenance cost and market price.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

This tl;dr does not do the article justice. Highly recommend everyone read the article.

They don’t follow the grid frequency because the EU or US regulations require it, they follow the grid frequency because physics demands it.

This is only supplying like 3.5 amps, so not going to trip any breakers.

Is that hand braided or some mystical form of safety wire I’ve never seen?

In Japan, I have 7 bins plus cardboard. Burnables, nonburnables, plastic, paper, cans, pet bottles, glass bottles.

Sure the R1s are large, but R2 and R3 are much more reasonably sized and are planned to be lower priced. It seems that these new EV companies like to go with fewer of their higher end cars in the beginning to fund the production of the larger volume, more economic models later.

Well I am familiar with Sims and I did play one briefly as a kid, but not enough to have an impact. Maybe you’re not old, I just might not be cultured.

Seriously. Don’t cover your eyes and pretend you can’t see why the government treats US companies different than companies that are directly in the hands of adversaries. They might not care if Meta uses it to profit off of us, but they certainly do care if China will use it to achieve an advantage over us, militarily or otherwise.

I’m not familiar with any of these. Which ones are worth getting?

There’s no playing dumb about this from a retired COL. This is not some 3 year E-3 in the national guard. He knew what he was doing. Throw the book at him.

Something tells me you didn’t read my comment.

Unless we want snapchat and other apps to require photo ID, how would snapchat actually know who is a child and who is an adult? Why did the parents not know or care that the kid had snapchat downloaded?

Parents seriously need to be more aware of what kids are doing on their phones. Why the hell is a 12 year old on snapchat to begin with?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I doubt snapchat requires photo ID in order to make an account. Besides requiring ID, it’s not clear to me how else snapchat would be able to know that she is a minor and that the perpetrator is a sex offender.

Reposting my comment from a duplicate thread:

This article mentions 330 vehicles and 13 containers. By US military terms, that is absolutely nothing. Nothing compared to the equipment we keep stored and maintained in other locations. I feel like the article makes this seem more significant than it is. This is not even a drop in the bucket, let alone enough to call stockpiling as the article does.

Am I not more or less guaranteed to wake up on a Wednesday each week?

The video is a 20 year army vet, now a military journalist. I am active duty Army. I am telling you, there is a process to relieve a soldier of liability in these situations. It is called a FLIPL. It is an investigation to determine if the soldier is at fault.
