  1. At the end they say they delivered them to Pokrovsk. That's the next city over in Ukrainian held territory and it's where some friends of mine were from and lived up until the new invasion.
  2. Well, outside of it being EXPLICITLY against the Outer Space Treaty, having a nuke parked in space makes for a real big challenge in maintaining the equipment and making sure it's in good working order. And recovering it/taking it out of service means you deorbit a satellite and then have to pick through the wreckage to find a nuke...
  3. The trouble with that is at the front SpaceX can't turn off Russia's Starlinks without hitting Ukraine's since the proximity is too close.
  4. The new head of the military was the commander who led the defense of Kyiv during the initial phases of the invasion. So I'm cautiously optimistic.
  5. Fuck man. He was great. And he was having so much fun making The Mandalorian
  6. I did not enjoy it! I get it's a brand showcase, but it really didn't strike me as funny at all.
  7. What'd you do last night? Anything you wanted, right? That's your tax break. This attitude among other people without kids makes me sick.
  8. It was a very good episode and the presenter is a wonderful woman that I've had the pleasure of hanging out with! She's very well-versed in the subject.
  9. This facility is also an hour or more outside of Nashville. There are no local resources. I have no clue what to say other than just to lament how we treat people who need significant medical behavioral help.
  10. Technically it moved from 100 seconds to 90 seconds LAST year. The update for 2024 was just a week or so ago and they elected not to move the hands. But this stuff in Yemen is absolutely not at all the biggest threat of existential conflict or crisis. It's just another in a series of "kinetic actions" in the Middle East that might expand in scope.
  11. As I suspected, we'd hit the groups in Syria/Iraq that perpetrated the attacks. Yesterday we released a statement saying that we would do just that, which if you read between the lines gave Iran time to evac their important dudes to avoid being hit. The US and Iran both know how the game is played. Iran gets to save its more important pieces while we get to hit their pawns. Then we get it out of our systems and we go back to business as usual.
  12. I don't like how this is framed as "the US screwed up" when it is more accurately described as the enemy cleverly following our own drone in to the target as a way of avoiding our defenses.
