Fuck that. First come, first serve. Get it if and while you can.

The reality is that “tactical” and “strategic” are functionally meaningless adjectives when applied to weapons or systems.

Theoretically, “tactical” refers to how a military unit engages another military unit. It is how a commander wins a battle against an enemy unit.

“Strategic” refers to how a nation engages another nation. It is how a government wins a war.

The term “tactical nuke” referred to something that a lower level commander could have been authorized to use under his own judgment. If Soviet tanks were rolling across Europe during the cold war, commanders may have been granted the discretion to use small nuclear weapons to halt their advance.

Since the the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction was established, there has been no such thing as a “tactical” nuke. Any wartime use of a nuclear weapon of any kind demands an escalation to total annihilation. I used the term “tactical” ironically, to refer to a pre-“MAD” doctrine that can no longer exist.

In declaring that conventional bombs cannot penetrate this fixed bunker, it seems that someone is pushing for unconventional warfare. The reality is that this bunker is not impenetrable. It shares the same weakness as any bunker: getting into and out of it. Bomb the entrances to the bunker, and it will take months or years to tunnel back in. Whatever they are doing inside it, they won’t be doing until they manage to dig it up again.

Coreium.

We drop an overloading nuclear reactor on top of the complex, and let the radioactive core China-Syndrome itself straight through, rendering the entire area uninhabitable for thousands of years.

Sounds to me like someone is trying to justify actually using a tactical, atomic bunker buster.

Does it do scan to FTP? For my Brother MFC device, I spun up a write-only FTP server to drop scanned documents into a network share. That made them immediately accessible to any machine on my network.

Shit just worked.

You dont have to switch phones entirely, and you’re better off if you dont. iCrap is still far worse than anything Google is coming out with.

Just switch to a different dialer/phone app to replace “Phone” and a different SMS/MMS app to replace 'Messages". I’ve used “Should I Answer” in the past for my default phone app, and I currently use QKSMS for texting.

Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken.

I bet this guy knows how to play Mario Kart.

Well, not with that attitude.

I’ve found Jami from another comment a few hours ago, but I haven’t downloaded it yet. But I think it expects an existing internet/network connection, where Briar seems to be focused on getting messages across through any means available.

I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard of “Jami” that is supposed to operate in a similar fashion.

AFAIK, yes. Latest release is from March of this year, and they have commits as of a month ago.

Are you familiar with Briar?

Works over internet, TOR, local wifi, bluetooth, even “sneakernet”.

You seal everything but the battery in one watertight compartment. The battery is a sealed, self-contained package, in a second compartment. Dunk the phone, the only thing that gets wet are the battery contacts, which are protected the same way that earbuds with magnetic chargers are protected: if the contacts get wet, the battery shuts itself off until it has been dried off.

If a die is weighted, the first roll is no longer 1/6 probability to get a 7

Yes, actually, it is. No matter what the first die lands on, there is a 1 in 6 chance that the second die will land on the corresponding value necessary for a “7”. You could glue the first die to the table with “6” (or any other number) showing, and there will be a 1 in 6 chance that the second die will bring the sum to 7.

Weighting one die (to favor “6”) will increase the probability of every outcome over 7, and will decrease the probability of every outcome under 7, but the probability of rolling a 7 will not change.

This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Either way…never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

Hetty Woodstone (“Ghosts”) hated the Irish.

Open source with profanity in comments is statistically better than code without it

Wat. Do you think there’s like a L1.5 or something?

There’s the option of a level 1 charger at home, supplemented with an occasional stop at a fast charger.

The L1 charger is not quite enough to keep up with their usage, but their usage isn’t enough to make an L2 absolutely necessary.

DQ has surprisingly good chili dogs. Their burgers aren’t bad, if you omit the ketchup.

Can you cite a time stamp? I don’t want to watch a 30 minute video.

I’m very curious where “42 amps max” comes from, as NEMA outlets are rated for 15A, 20A, 30A, 50A, or 60A. 42A is a rather oddball number; I’d like some context for it.

Most dryer outlets are rated for 30A, NEMA 10-30, or 14-30.
