Practical Engineering video explaining why this is an inherently difficult task, even for a country that has the money to better maintain their grid.

In case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

That’s not what’s going on here, but okay I guess.

Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

They are the soldiers responsible for operating the missile defense system.

“And Russia’s internal security service, the FSB, recently said it foiled a Ukrainian plot to destroy its last remaining aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The ship, launched in 1985, has been undergoing repairs since 2018.”

I hope Ukraine can still make this happen. That would a be huge win, even if the carrier is never functional and isn’t in the black sea. Imagine if Russia no longer even had a carrier. That’d be one way to put them in their place.

‘The terrorist wrote in his letter that he was warned by an attorney and a professor “that US law permit the US President to sentence to death any federal prisonneer [sic] deem to be a threat to National security.”’

He says that the President can do this, but it’s something I’ve never heard of and I can’t find anything to back his claim up. Is this even true?

Edit: Seems like something the author should have verified as well.

Better to wait and buy merch that’ll actually benefit the campaign instead of some dropshipper on amazon.

Army combat uniforms even come pretreated with it.

That is quite an interesting set of political beliefs this guy has.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

I 100% would not want an image like that to pop up in front of a coworker. I’m on board with you, OP.

You say that like they’re trying to hide it, but it’s literally the stated purpose of the Selective Service registration. Nothing surreptitious about it.

This tl;dr does not do the article justice. Highly recommend everyone read the article.

You’re telling me that they’re not literally a tin can on skateboard wheels? /s Yes, of course that was hyperbole.

There are no passenger vehicles produced in the states with wheels that size. Smaller wheel size means reduced traction, which we both know these trucks suffer from, leading yo poor handling. You can say that they handle better and are safer than some US vehicles and I can say they are not. Neither of us have a way to objectively prove it, but apparently Maine and Rhode Island are of the opinion that they are not up to standard. I don’t disagree that they have their uses. They make fine farm/utility vehicles. But don’t pretend that they are in the same class as other vehicles on the roads in the US. Again, I’m not saying they should be illegal. I’m saying that there are valid concerns about them, and apparently some DMVs are finding them not to be up to snuff.

Have you actually been in one of those Kei trucks? It’s basically a tin can on skateboard wheels. It is extremely power limited due to engine size and handles poorly due to the wheel size. I’m not saying that they should or should not be banned, but they certainly are not safer than any US vehicle made in the last 35 years.

They don’t follow the grid frequency because the EU or US regulations require it, they follow the grid frequency because physics demands it.

This is only supplying like 3.5 amps, so not going to trip any breakers.

Unrelated to the incident, but I’m getting really fucking tired of articles using some unknown set of people posting online as justification for the conclusions of their articles. I don’t give half a shit what someone posted on the departments facebook page. I give a shit about the incident at hand. Don’t tell me how other people reacted online and expect me to do the same. Tell me what happened and let me come to my own conclusion.

Garbage article and garbage cop.

Or there could be poor signal due to terrain.
