Yeah, these people should not be quitting, they should be doing least effective job to further this fascist takeover. If you quit, a toady sycophant is going to get your job. If you act enthusiastic, and find "reasons" to slow the roll or fuck it up, you can do a lot more damage to the regime for a lot longer

You can pop trunks and doors on a Tesla wirelessly using a flipper zero, which anyone can buy for ~100 bucks.

Sometimes. The SR-71 has red paint on critical leading edge pieces to emit red and infrared radiation more effectively to keep the surfaces cooler in flight and awww I'm just fucking with you.

Nah, you need more than afterburners. The SR-71 had some very advanced nozzle inlets for its engines which allowed the plane to move and bounce the supersonic shockwave around in the engine inlet to generate extra compression and to keep the incoming air from just building up and flowing around the engine instead of through it. If you took a F22 and pushed it up to those speeds, it would flame out and stop working long before it got near the SR-71's too speed.

SR-71 has entered the chat.

Never left. I still have a shoe box full of floppies in my station wagon.

Shoot, with the right mods, you can do all that and replace all the piss with champagne.

If you've been to a hospital in the last...oh let's say 10 months, you may have noticed how bad the wait times are, because it turns out a lot of the doctors and nurses got the fuck out of the US.

Shoot, this has been on my brain a lot lately. I've been thinking about a modern one-time pad scheme that uses USB drives. Wanna send your friend 16GB of encrypted messages? Next time you hang out, give them a cheap USB drive. Or, possibly have your phones generate and share a one-time pad using NFC.

Unfortunately, I think phones and USB drives are too vulnerable, but it would be a fun little project to build.

Yeah. That's an exercise in futility. You can't get that data back under wraps. The only solution is to obfuscate your data with noise.

It's already paid up. They've basically got a piggy bank with 10 bil in it.

My taxes already pay for the meteorology

Yeah, but it got privatized, so now you need to pay more money to a 3rd party to access the services you are already paying money to access.

Don't kink shame.

Interesting video, but seems very conspiracy-oriented.

I'd like to make an observation though...

What if the bullet was a 30-06, but the cartridge was not performing optimally, either intentionally de-rated to reduce the chance of overpenetrating the target, or unintentionally degraded due to a problem with the round?

The shooter (if you believe the FBI text messages) said he used his grandfather's rifle. A rifle which was unlikely to be noticed as missing, which to me says "not used that often". So I suspect the cartridge had degraded. I'd say that this explains the neck shot... The round was traveling slower and fell a few extra inches from the intended headshot.

This would also explain why the time from the flash in the video (which could be any number of things really) to time of impact indicates a range of 200 yards, when the shooter was more like 157yards away (last I saw this was the distance, not sure if it is correct). This also explains why the round didn't "blow his head completely off" as at least one other "gun expert" has told me it would do.

Things to still be considered... Where did the round ultimately end up? Even with a lower power cartridge, I'd expect the 30-06 to go all the way through a human neck. Maybe it hit the spine, but I doubt that would have stopped it. As far as I'm aware, they have not recovered the bullet that hit Charlie.

I wish I was an engineer, but I have read a few mechanical engineering books with chapters on gears, and it really is a bottomless pit.

In the example, I recall seeing a method a ways back where 3 interlaced gears could rotate simultaneously. Two are linked traditionally, while one is a helical gear that slides though the teeth of the other two. It had a slick animation, wish I could find it.

Fuck that. I can't get E1 to land 2 rockets on the hulk with my strategem beacon stuck on it's face.

It does have a game chat. Hardly anyone uses it. Also I don't think he's that big on helldivers since he did ⬆️ ➡️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️, when he should have done ➡️ ➡️ ⬆️ or ➡️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ➡️

Gears are really simple...

I've got some bad news for you...

I'm thinking heart failure in office, but I bet he goes through 2 or 3 donor hearts before he dies faster than they can get a new one in him.

Gotcha. 30-06 is so powerful it will completely blow a man's head off his body, but it will pass through a T-shirt, hit a steel plate under the shirt, and bounce back out the shirt without making a single hole.
