That really was great, thank you!

No, that’s brilliantly executed!

The image just loaded very slowly for me (i.e. after about 10 seconds). In some posts it never loads at all, but there is a thumbnail in the main screen. This is on sync.

It also propels itself forward by discharging high velocity watermarks.

It’s a special ethnic adjustment operation.

When the war was obviously in the ‘last stand’ phase for the Imperial Japanese Navy, they sent their pride, the largest battleship in the world, Yamato, with just nine light escorts to run itself aground on the shore of Okinawa island and act as an unsinkable fortress there. Unfortunately it had to go past about eleven carriers with almost 400 aircraft and… it didn’t make it.

Just $150 million for this, but also:

In addition, DoD is announcing a significant package of air defense interceptors using approximately $2.2 billion in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funds. This funding will be used to purchase interceptors for PATRIOT and NASAMS air defense systems for Ukraine

Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries […]

Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.

Look at that armor belt. The tasteful thickness of it.

Agonal breathing is when someone who is not getting enough oxygen is gasping for air. It is usually due to cardiac arrest or stroke. It’s not true breathing. It’s a natural reflex that happens when your brain is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. Agonal breathing is a sign that a person is near death.

Something moving that fast wouldn’t stay “north” of anyone’s location long enough for them to finish saying that…

What’s the link with Finnish?

At least they’d have a new, renewable energy source and reduced energy consumption.

Or a witch.

Flashbacks of “Whirlwind” by James Clavell…

So the brown stuff left inside the ball is part of the explosive that had gone bad and didn’t “pop” anymore? Is this what happens when ordnance expires?

400 milion worth.

The last graph: how in the world is Russia spending more than twice as much as the whole of Europe on research?

Fantastic article, well worth the read.
