  • I think you are misunderstanding the point. Swap out 9-11 moment with “watershed moment”.

    A drone doesn’t need to be able to carry more than 500-1000g to be an incredibly effective tool of war, and it absolutely was, basically, consumer grade drones that Ukraine used.

    And all in all, probably, the whole operation cost less than a single tomahawk cruise missile.

    I made this point that the article is making here, a few months ago. The US military industrial complex has completely missed the mark on where modern warfare is going., and the US has spent trillions to build a system that can be challenged for billions.





  • Parrots can be uhh. Hard to get back when they get out.

    Some neighbor had a parrot get out a few weeks ago. Parrots name was Rascal. So Rascal set up shop in the Mango tree next to my house. Which was. Then his owner, an older lady, she finally found him, and stood outside of my house all day for like, 3 fucking days yelling “RASCAL!! You get down from there Rascal!!”. Like 8AM to 6PM practically, the lady just yelling “RASCAL!! RASCAL YOU GET DOWN FROM THERE!!”

    And Rascal just stayed up there, kinda chuckling to themselves.

    Eventually they were able to coax Rascal home I suppose. But man. That owner was super annoying.
