CLU is like $250k by itself, missile is like $220k. And prolly like $200k of that missile price is what’s visible on the nose before the first hammer tap. Arri Alexa’s dream of growing up to be that camera lol.

As a former 0352, you need to fire the javelin from the CLU for any of the special javelin sauce to work. There is no “firing” of this missile in the traditional sense once it’s out of its tube. Firing it as intended would probably be the most effective option, however you need line of site to engage with that weapons system. Using a drone to deliver the explosive portion of the missile allows for Ukrainian troops to stay out of direct line of site bc drone, so while less materially effective, prolly way more effective in terms of Ukrainian lives which is what matters most.

Part of my soul is sad to know that little guy won’t be able to live out his *PHUNK* *KAWWWOOOOSSSHHHH* *KABOOM* dreams, but if he gets to kill some invaders, save some Ukrainians, and is happy then I’m happy. Better than getting teased by trying to bracket camels and taking bets on whether it would track.

Yeah I bought the original destiny collectors edition, with the little ghost collectible toy thing and all that. I never even bothered playing the second game.

I had read that he had gone to Ukraine multiple times to try to fight, I have not read anything about him actually fighting.

That’s funny because I read a book (The Failure of Nonviolence) that pretty convincingly argues that no movement has truly accomplished its goals without either outright violence or relying on the threat of violence from aligned parties.

If someone starting swatting the extended family of local police chiefs I’d be willing to bet that even the police unions would be calling for an end to these types of raids, regardless of how they were handled.

Oh man, Ingress was such a better game. I got slightly obsessed with it for a year or two. I had my entire state covered for a couple of days, before one of the nodes or whatever was broken.

The G series of LG TVs comes with a flush wall mount kit and no stand at all.

Outside of posting archive links to paywalls content people should make it a habit to share as canonical a link as they can imo, but yes this is a very much not important in the grand scheme of things.

I mean developers still haven’t really abandoned the PS4 have they? I’ve pretty much stopped playing games on my PS4, but last I checked any new release I would have wanted was coming out on both PS4 and PS5.

I feel you. Like 10 years ago I was trying to figure out the best way to let some friends know when pirated media hit the share i gave them access to. Some had discord, some didn’t, some had slack, some didn’t. Everyone could view tweets back then, even without an account, and the application I was using had twitter webhooks built in.

I made an account and used it solely for webhooks tweeting out what movies and shows hit the server, and what format/resolution they were. Everything was fine for a few months, then I upgraded servers and didn’t bother transferring over my media collection bc I was broke back then and needed to reuse the drives, and didn’t have enough extra space to back the media content up to anywhere. I figured that since I had something like 7Gbps symmetrical (technically shared with an apartment building but I had my own queue) I’d just redownload my terabytes of shit ezpz.

Welp, it was ezpz, all except getting banned by twitter because I was posting at some insane rate, as every download of individual episodes of random tv shows from the 90s completed.
