That’s not St Javelin. That’s not a Javelin. That’s a manpad, idk what bc I was an anti-tank dude not an anti-air dude.

Jfc thank god this game that came out on the PS4 got remastered for the PS5. Idk what I I would have done, it’s not like I can just put my HZD PS4 disc in my PS5 and play it or anything.

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.

Randomly started watching that 70s show after seeing that 90s show on Netflix and they use dillweed all the time.

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.

I mean you’re right. It’s just my tin foil hat conspiracy, definitely not something I think is anywhere in the realm of actual possibility.

Two back to back like this? My tin foil hat money is that Loomer is angling to get Trump to divorce Melania then elope with her. Eric Jr knows that his dad will do it and is terrified of getting cut out of the will once Loomer gets her hooks in Trumps dementia riddled ass, so he’s hiring people to kill his dad before the inheritance can get fucked with. I can’t come up with any other reason we’ve had such poor assassination attempts so quickly like this. The bumbling foolishness has Jr fingerprints all over it.

Yes, I had already edited that information in and linked to a lemmy post that itself contained a link to the AP story before you responded. Thanks though I guess?

Nah somebody nearby had a gun and the FBI I think shot at that guy. AFAIK nobody actually got shot and they arrested gun dude on the highway later.

Edit - sorry for bad link, still don’t think i can do relative post links. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27862700

Secret service shot at guy, guy had scoped AK and a GoPro when they shot at him apparently. Now I’m wondering if there was a 4chan post recently.

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.

It’s obnoxious, especially when it’s a three word post. Also, that exact same user has replies to people on Mastadon instances themselves where they didn’t tag when replying, so idk about that just being how it is. Seems like some arbitrary bullshit that could just stop.

You can just reply, what’s the point in tagging them?

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.

My LG GX came with no stand.

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.
