Because they don't want to do anything to make brands not buy the spots during the episode.
So if an episode has product placement for pasta sauce A then pasta sauce B, C, and D don't want to buy commercial spots for usually the entire run of the show.
It's not set in stone but having it be that way for all your shows makes it easy to sell big blocks of commercial spots spread across the network.
Yeah when they announced no lady Stoneheart I knew it wasn't going to continue being good. I'm not even a big fan of her but man is she important to the story and how things are changing in the world.
So military simulation for actual militaries is used for training. There are programs like OneSAF a training and stimulation RTS or VBS2 a first person shooter.
They can all be networked together using a federated system. Similar to Lemmy there is no master instance. Each program is trusted and manages it's entities like tanks and soldiers.
They each have their own database that can be classified or not. The classified database has very accurate stats and the nonclassified has general simple stats. Think people leaking classified documents on War Thunder to get their tank better stats in the game.
Because each system is using it's own database you don't want some system using classified data and some not. So in the unclassified databases a spefic unit type is set to invulnerable.
So if it's supposed to be an unclassified stimulation you fire up the sims and create one of the special units. You then trigger a detonation like an airstrike at the location of the unit.
The unit should be fine as it's invulnerable. You then go and check each stimulation and if it's been destroyed that one is using a classified database and you need to change it out before letting people use the system.
Most military simulation databases have a classified and unclassified version. In the unclassified database a spefic russian apc is usually set to be indestructable.
It's used for a quick test when setting up a federated sim. Drop one in the sim and trigger a detonation at the location. It should either be destroyed or not in all the instances.
Or accessing it if you have a security clearance. I'm not allowed the look at any of the documents Snowden leaked. Because even though they are easily obtained they have not been declasified. I don't have a need to know or the necessary SC.
Just like "Elections are the pressure release of an unhappy populace" trust in rule of law helps prevent people from taking things into their own hands.
Police protection of right wing shotters, ignoring due process, the supreme court saying it's ok to break the law if you are Trump. People have lost faith in the instutions of law and are taking things into their own hands.
This is the result of the Republicans dismantling the norms of government and rule of law.
The German army was originally being used to implement the genocide during WWII. The mental toll on the soldiers got so bad they had to create the death camps.
Air Wolf was a cool helicopter instead of a cool car. Later seasons were very bad as they weren't allowed to film them flying because of stunt crashes. So it was all recycled footage.
Wait till you learn about lobsters.
