A big part of it is manuals are increasingly non-present or unhelpful. Though, home appliances normally have useful ones still and I have used them on several occasional when doing repairs.

more and more projects are moving all documentation to discord

This is absolutely a trend that needs to stop. It is worse for individuals as info is completely unsearchable; and it is worse for the Discord admins and helpers as they have to answer the same questions over and over as nobody can find previous answers to the same question. A classic forum is optimal for public support.

Yeah, my guess is much more is getting lumped into those figures. Maybe server costs.

From what I can tell this looks like a strap-on cruise missile system for previously-existing dumb bombs. If that is the case, they certainly have the capability of being produced fairly cheaply and in large numbers.

Some countries might still have cold war stocks. But, what countries produce 152mm other than NK and Russia?

O, yeah. This is absolutely one of the things I would have thought was cool as fuck as a kid. Then as an adult questioned why the hell I was taken there for vacation.

I don’t understand parents who take children to an active warzone in enemy occupied territory for vacation. It’s also pretty gross the local authorities aren’t heavily discouraging it too.

I always hate when they title the video ‘how to x’ or ‘today we do x’. Then I load up the video, notice it’s 90min long, and realize that x is probably a 10s chunk hidden somewhere in that hour and a half.

This is how you get ‘don’t show me this channel again’ pressed.

I would expect Reddit to lose quite a number of users too.

Any fan pushing out is also causing air to pull in somewhere else. The inverse is also true. Setup all your fans in the same orientation (ex: all blowing out or all blowing in) and have the other windows in the house open as well.

For maximum effect, have the cool air first coming into a room (or rooms) you are in or most want to cool down. As that will give you the most pronounced, direct effect.

It is also generally helpful to make sure the air has to travel through several rooms in its journey. If it is coming in a window, and leaving from another window in the same room, most of your house will get nothing.

You can also run your home’s HVAC on fan mode to distribute air more, if you are having troubles with certain areas of the house. Also remember bathroom vents can help out, too.

Putin remains NATO’s best salesman.

Damn that is some nice piloting.

In what way? Them coming out more than expected? That isn’t a new thing, in fact I would say it is the norm for basically all contracts, and not just military ones.

The old nukes are very, very old. MAD doesn’t work if people question if your weapons actually still work. They need an update.

I’m assuming they are targeting specific parts of the substation. Is it the items in boxes that tend to be the more sensitive/harder to replace components? I know some of them are filled with coolant, which is (often?) flammable.

Code should absolutely speak for itself. But the occasional comment is still good to explain the ‘why’ of the code when the why isn’t very obvious, often due to a niche requirement. Also any time you have to break out a hack, that needs comments up the ass, what was the bug, what URL did you find the fix at, why does this hack work, etc etc. It’s very satisfying to go back and remove those hacks after they are no longer needed, often because the underlying technology fixed the bug that had to be hacked around.

They have been dumping money into war production; works amazing for a few years. However, all that money and labor isn’t getting invested into the future of the country, it is getting invested into equipment and people to be blown up in Ukraine.

Obama came out of nowhere and brushed aside the elites, Trump did the same eight years later. (Amusingly, Hillary was the adorned one both times)

I may not always like who others vote for, but, I am damn proud we get together every few years and do so.

I’m proud of my country and you will not shame me for it. I’m happy to live in the longest surviving democracy in the world.

I just happy I can finally make things like the Diverging Diamond interchange and the Cloverleaf interchange. Sure, you could do them before, but without elevated track such interchanges went from A+ to highly inefficient.

Wooooo!

Been waiting for this one for awhile.
