We truly are lost…

You can see the row of mines on the road from this drone video. But I guess being in a war zone doesn’t encourage cautious driving.

I think he says “watch this!” before he jumps.

That Badenoch name certainly sounds very Bondish…

The US election is paralyzing the presidency from making any big moves until it’s over. I think that’s why the NK involvement was timed to start now, and also why Israel chose to start their genocide now. It’s a good time to start bullshit and not be punished for it.

“Behind an able man there are always other able men.”

It’s a Chinese proverb akin to the"shoulders of giants" idea.

The envelopes have a too dark shade of green, are too glossy and have no return address the FBI says.

Unfortunately, without the veto power I expect the nuclear-armed countries would just leave the UN and it would lose what little usefulness it still has.

Would have done a lot more damage with a bit of delay on the fuses…

There is no such thing as a pineapple tree. That’s an AI image.

Pineapples grow in an even more ridiculous way.

That was magnificent…

They’re made that way so you don’t accidentally connect a gas cylinder to a water line.

In the “Fantasy” section.

Off topic, but that’s Audiodollar - “Powerful Metalcore”

Surprisingly good song for a stock tune.

Yes, I imagine they’d use the Arrow 3, and the US Navy could probably help out with SM3s if they were instructed to intervene.

They’re saying ballistic missiles, not cruise missiles though. Those are too fast and too vertical to be intercepted with aircraft.

Yeah, I mean getting the parents to sign an explicit contract and taking a photo of them signing… They were aiming to do the right thing.

You can’t use triangulation for anything over a few light-years, the angles are just too acute. And even then, you need to use the full width of Earth’s orbit (i.e. repeat a measurement at different times of the year).

I think they just know what the frequency distribution normally is for a burst like this when it is emitted, and use the redshift of the measured frequencies to estimate the distance. Plus they correlate it with the apparent source based on direction (a certain galaxy, in this case, which helped confirm the distance estimate).
