@ShamashAran If they wait the 4 minutes to properly align the INS, they are dead. So they seem to be doing a 30 second alignment, just so the missile can orient itself, and launch. Circular error is probably 1 to 2 miles. With nukes, that doesn't matter. With conventional explosives, it does.

@ShamashAran Not that good. They seem to be using inertial guidance platforms (INS), which are fed a set of geographic coordinates. The issue, INS must be properly aligned for accuracy. The alignment can take as long as 4 minutes, which they don't have. 1/2

Not to sound like i'm defending Iran or anything, but how good is their targeting, anyway? Are they really targeting anything other than "Israel" at this point, not caring what they hit? (I'm asking because I really don't know)

@DudespostingWs The Godfather, the novel, and The Godfather, the movie script, are two different pieces of literature. The advice holds.

Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather, had no screenwriting experience. After winning two Oscars, he bought a screenwriting book to learn how, which recommended ‘study Godfather’

@cgtxfl @IDGAPHActual @Grummz The store was opened when Epic asked Steam for a lower cut and Steam said no. Epic never cared about devs. They were looking out for their bottom line as always. If they could, they would charge devs the same 30% Steam does.

@IDGAPHActual @Grummz Insane take. Epic takes a 12% cut from devs while steam takes a 30% cut. If anything they were trying to NOT be like steam.

Epic layoffs right now.

@HankRearden_37 @ConsoomerLs They even promote him.

@ConsoomerLs For sure, the post reminded me of the movie office space. Guy stops giving a shit and the two bobs love him.

Corporate absurdity sometimes works in the other direction.

@Jet0o Yes and no. He does collect waifus the way you get Pokémon. But every single female does contribute to the success of the business. One is an expert pilot, another manages the economic side, but more important there are no romcom shenanigans. As I said, the focus is the adventur

@CodingBear So it's just cowardly self indulgent wish fulfillment trash where the female characters only exist to be trophies for the guy

@SandyofCthulhu The RC has survived because it does exclude women from the priesthood. Look at the Anglicans right now. They have become a pagan cult with a veneer of Christianity.

The Roman Catholic church survived Martin Luther and the Reformation. It survived the vigorous onslaughts of the Turkish Muslims. It survived the French Dechristianization and murder of thousands of priests. It survived Communist oppression in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. It got through all that. But yeah, women not being priests will bring it down. Sure.

@Jet0o No. They don't. He does have the occasional threesome,although the incidence went up when two sisters joined the crew and later the harem.

@CodingBear But do they also shag each other? Because if not then the author is a coward and a shit writer.

@physicsgeek And then you have valedictorian with acceptance letters to ivy league schools who can't read or write.

@Math_files I read this novel about an alien invasion and the blonde waitress was an astrophysics doctor who earned more tending tables. Yes, she was part of the team who was looking for a weapon.

Two mathematicians were in a restaurant. One of them was a hard-core misogynist and claimed that women were never any good at maths, especially the blonde ones. His friend claimed that there was no difference and that women were just as capable as men. When the misogynist went for a cigarette, the other guy called over the blonde waitress. “My friend and I are having an argument. When he gets back I’ll call you over and ask you a question. The answer you need to give is ‘a third X cubed’. Can you do that?” “Thurdeks coobed?” “a third X cubed.” “a Third Ekscubed. Sure I can do that.” The other chap comes back to the table and his friend says. “I’ll prove to you that women are as good as men at maths. See the blond waitress; I’ll ask her a question and we’ll see if she knows any maths.” So he calls the waitress over and asks, “What is the integral of X squared?” As quick as a shot, she comes out with “A third X cubed.” The misogynist is stunned. The waitress smiles and walks away. Then she stops and calls back, “plus a constant.”

@benlandautaylor I think chariot fighting method depends on the society fielding them. Egyptians seems that they used a driver and an archer. Hitites driver and two spearmint. English was a driver and an axeman. It made sense, since you had an expert chariot driver and a fighter.

It's wild how we we know that chariots were THE dominant weapon in ancient warfare for many centuries but historians don’t agree on how you actually FOUGHT from a chariot, and there's no satisfying account of how it’s better than just riding a horse besides being rad as hell.

@RndTableKing @SoldiersWhisper He didn't fly the toy plane. The aircraft engineer designed flyable rubber propelled models.

@SoldiersWhisper But Richard Attenborough called him out for flying a real toy airplane in one of the most classic cinematic scenes ever filmed.🤪😁😂🤣😹👀🤷 youtu.be/eYOXAMuRZms?si…

James Stewart in front of a Boeing B52. circa 1955 After World War II, he stayed in the Air Force Reserve and remained current on Strategic Air Command bombers, including the B-36, B-47, and B-52. A 1957 report even notes him going to Loring AFB for a B-52 refresher course. His best-known B-52 mission came February 20 1966, when Brig. Gen. James M. Stewart flew as a non-duty observer on an Operation Arc Light strike over Vietnam aboard B-52F 57-149, call sign “Green Two,” from the 736th Bombardment Squadron, 454th Bombardment Wing. That sortie lasted about 12 hours 50 minutes and was part of a 30-aircraft bomber stream. Stewart trained in the B-52 and did fly on a real Vietnam B-52 combat sortie, but he is not known for flying a whole combat tour in the aircraft. The famous 1966 flight is generally described as the last combat mission of his military career. On the return to Guam, the crew briefly thought they had a serious flap problem, but it turned out to be a faulty gauge, and they landed safely. #WWII #TheVietnamWar #JamesStewart

@leftguard6 @SoldiersWhisper Those seem to be engine covers, not black ooze.

@SoldiersWhisper Check the black ooze dripping from the engines, the letters printed on the sky above the engines &, the stencilling over the SAC shield. I asked Grok for authenticity & it couldn't do it. At best it said it was a publicity shot from the film Strategic Air Command. No B-52s in it?

@LeovannaO @lahistoriaec @Primicias No. El Aeropuerto no está perfecto en su actual ubicación. De estar a un extremo, ahora está en el centro y muchas familias sufren x el ruido. Pero, no tiene el movimiento de pasajeros que justifique su traslado a otra zone.

@lahistoriaec @Primicias Una estupidez el aeropuerto en Taura. Si algo funciona bien se debe dejar así. El aeropuerto está perfecto dónde está.

El nuevo aeropuerto va porque va, en Taura. El ministro de Transporte, Roberto Luque, dijo a @Primicias que el gobierno apuesta el 100% para que el nuevo aeropuerto de Guayaquil se construya en Taura y no en Daular. Los que compraron tierras en este sector se quedarán varados.

@SnugglyWeeb @MangaMoguraRE The guy does have sex with his harem, but the real focus is his adventures.

@MangaMoguraRE The style looks kinda bland ngl. Here's hoping it at least delivers on the ecchi side of things or I'mma be checked out real fast.

@TRHLofficial It looks like the Anglican church has been corrupted down to its core.

So anyway, Pope Leo recently met with representatives of the International Association of Exorcists who presented a report on the growing prevalence of demonic possessions.

@skscartoon A turbo prop is cheaper to operate than a piston engine or a turbo fan. A-10 is too expensive for the role. There are no operational P-51s, so the option is unreal. The A-29 can do the job, or a helicopter gunship. Based on cost, the A-29 is the best choice in this exercise.

Which one is best suited for drone hunting (endurance, firepower, operational cost)?

@SandyofCthulhu Jousting was a martial sport. Emphasis on sport. The lances were just sturdy enough to unhorse a knight. They not only were blunt but also had a cap to prevent penetration. And yet it was still very dangerous. The king of France was killed when a lance stub hit his faceplate.

Picture a charging armored knight on horseback (horse the size of a clydesdale). Estimate to gallop about 35mph. He has a couched lance. How much force will that lance-point deliver? Answer: a solid hit will go through any breastplate and out the back. Lances weren’t just for show. They didn’t break as easily as you see in the movies either. Jousting lances were hollow - made to break. War lances were solid ash.

@ShitpostRock2 1000% flex.

Question to people who wear glasses, do you really need to spend 1k on good glasses or is this literally just to flex?
