Fucking, HOW!?

From experience, you're not wrong. Let's be honest, being a service member doesn't separate them from their faults as humans. You take an undereducated kid from Mississippi and make him a Soldier, they're still that undereducated kid with no critical reasoning skills.

The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There's usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it'll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.

Man, those guys are good. Looks like they line up a perfect shot to hit where the turret joins the hull.

I'm a product of the Idaho education system, and it's not great. Luckily got a start in Washington, so it didn't ruin me completely. But that result does not surprise me at all.

I agree, if the point had been we didn't have enough energy storage at the grid scale to accommodate the excess power I would agree with that. Instead, it points out the price.

There is no place in government for this bullshit... I'm so tired of these idiots being voted for.

The whole purpose of the log is to help the vehicle get through mud. Here's a short video: Russian Logs

I hate this timeline. How do we make so much progress only to stumble when the idiots are hung up on fake issues to an extent that they're willing to fundamentally change the country.

I've searched (not researched) a little bit and it appears that the categories that they may be referring to are petroleum products, coal, nuclear, and then renewables.

MAGA Is Based on Fear, Not Grounded in Reality ( www.nytimes.com )

Yet such fantasies are now the common currency of politics on the American right. Remember the days when pundits solemnly declared that Trumpism was caused by economic anxiety? Well, despite a booming economy, there’s still plenty of justified anxiety out there, reflecting many people’s real struggles: America is still a...

Fear and anger with absolutely no critical thought put into the issues. The two most primal feelings somebody can have.

Nah, you're not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There's a chance it wouldn't hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.

Texas "physically barred" Border Patrol agents from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, federal officials say ( www.cbsnews.com )

A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.
