The purpose of battleships was to destroy enemy fleets before they should destroy shipping and to bombard coastal targets. Both offensive and defensive tasks are supplanted by aircraft and that has not changed at all, whether that aircraft is manned or not.
Right, but why wouldn’t the drones and missiles simply fly around it to their intended target?
This is literally the reason we stopped building battleships almost a hundred years ago and drones don’t make that less true today.
I don’t think they are good so much as they are currently on and actively being advertised.
I mean. Sure, they were addled because the CIA was dumping LSD all over the country and it just totally coincidentally served the narrative that kept money going into the military industrial complex.
That aside it was a narrative that was pushed by the media into every home in the United States.
There is a reason that Tolkein did not publish the Silmarillion. It’s not a book. It is his own musings on the origins and backstory of the universe he created. It was likely used simply as an exercise to develop his work with no intention of it ever actually being a published work in its own right.
The idea that the entire country was on the razors edge of a “race ware” in which the “coloreds” were going to topple American society was very much a product of the media in the 1960s designed specifically to terrify the white folks into opposing the civil rights movement and was the founding principal of Manson’s entire plan.
The more interesting tidbit is that this is actually pretty common. The prop house using real skeletons was actually pretty common and not unique to this production. The notable thing about this film was the sheer number of skeletons that they used, so they basically scooped up everything that was out there, and how much the live actors actually interacted with the skeletons. It wasn’t particularly unusual for skeletons to be used as props.
Really, just about any time you saw a skeleton on screen before the 90s or so, it was probably real. A lot of real world props and decorations also used real skeletons, sometimes to the surprise of the people using them. For example, if you rode the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land, you saw real human skeletons.
I read this when it came out and even then my first thought was that someone got paid to write this shit.
It was always this. This is the guy that financed Woodstock:
My favorite is how there is only ever one city and like 10,000 people on any planet.
Oh he went to this planet? Well, lets just go to the market, he’s bound to turn up at some point.
Thinking this is Reddit and taking the rules of a meme community seriously make you a real winner. ;-)
Protip: Read the article before you out yourself as a moron for not understanding that they are talking about structural features of melting polar ice.
Killing off bots and people making new accounts after getting banned would leave basically go one left on Reddit.
Thanks for the contribution.
Are you suggesting this browser made by the Kagi corporation isn’t a corporate product?
Sure, but closed source means that you are accepting a corporate “pinky promise” instead of a claim that can actually be independently verified.
Considering the amount of just random ass shit in the world that runs some flavor of linux or another (like restaurant menus and display sings and even generic chinese game consoles) I would expect that whatever they are running is probably Linux adjacent at the very least.
The entire volume control and Bluetooth connection management in Windows is an insane pile of garbage that seems deliberately hard to navigate and frequently doesn’t work for no apparent reason. Which is wild because they could have just not changed it at all since it used to be fine.
Replaygain 2.0 plugin for Musicbrainz Picard. Fix volume while getting your tags in order.
This doesn’t re-encode the files but tags them with information that tells your player how to adjust playback.
Probably a big flat platform, like something specifically made for launching aircraft because A) a shit ton of drones DO need runways and B) the ones that don’t still generally launch from a flat platform which is why helli-carriers still look like aircraft carriers:

You are desperate to make this idiotic idea make sense and its pretty sad to watch. There is no use case for this platform which is why it is being recommended by idiots and named after a moron. This is the most obvious fraud in the history of the military industrial complex and it takes a real special kind of idiot to act like it isn’t.
