this was never the creepy van. hippy vans often looked like that. (but maybe creepy refers to the guy here idk)

lasers are usually used from the ground, but if you must use it on a jet, i would suggest chemical lasers. however, it can blind someone you can’t see, many kilometers away. it’s dangerous to shoot lasers from above

depending on weather and distance, lasers can be a cheap solution

This reminds me of that Simple Sabotage Field Manual the CIA declassified. It containes things like:

Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

… to interfere with organizations and production.

that depends on what you think is honest. maybe the ppl think repeating this discussion again is boring and they dislike it. don’t take it personally. you are not your content.

btw mastodon and bluesky don’t have downvotes. i think ppl who are here instead on those, decided this way is better. i for one left mastodon in favor of lemmy.

“only upvotes” don’t help as much, because you get a gap where ppl don’t like it. you can only use ppl who like it to sort, which may be much less than ppl who dislike it.

also, once downvoted from many ppl, fewer ppl see the content and it gets less downvotes.

actually downvotes give less “power to aasholes”, because otherwise ppl can post their evil shit like on xitter and they and the algorithm assume silence=agreement, even though agreeing takes only one tap while disagreeing requires writing a comment. this emboldens the “assholes”. they get little to no feedback ppl don’t like it. on top of it, there are ways/algos to sort by number of comments. so if ppl actually dislike it so much to write a comment, it pushes the bad post up on these rankings, shoving the horrible stuff in even more ppls faces.

don’t forget that downvotes mostly help with sorting. they don’t mean “this is wrong”. they mean the reader didn’t like it and it should be sorted further down or even start collapsed. it can just be a highly unpopular or disgusting truth ppl want to swipe under the rug. it can also be totally irrelevant or link/quote sites ppl don’t like and want to reduce traffic to or be forgotten (reddit, xitter, fb come to mind)

it’s just a quick feedback that can help the community.

Do they have their own stocks or is this part of GB0002634946 ?

Michael Bay explosions were realistic all along 🤯

no, that’s light sources and objects.

No, the absence of good can also be neutral.

No, you don’t need darkness to see light.

they could fit more than twice as many shrapnel, if they used a more tetrahedron form, instead of spheres. but idk if it matters that they withstand less force. also, spheres are probably harder to produce, but maybe its faulty bearing balls, that arise anyway as a waste product.

ok

AFAIK multiple ppl died stowing away in the wheel compartment. So yeah, that’s not impossible.

Also, chartering or piloting your own small plane should bypass that, often.

they fly a lot internally, also. sadly, they’re not exactly known for good railway.

So trump doesn’t throw a tantrum?
