Fair, though this might just be a bit of a lib position of mine but if it weren’t for how awful the IOC is the Olympics are actually a pretty good thing for keeping international community imo

Support the athletes, not the IOC and the institution.

Cool, sounds like probably a good thing even though it’ll be annoying at first lol

Tbh most of those points are irrelevant or make no sense, and are easily refutable (Id go down the list but I really don’t have the time rn, might do it this evening)

The only potentially valid one is the corruption stuff, but I’d have to look into it more.

Any other sources besides some random twitter guy?

I mean yeah I haven’t been following it that closely because I dont have the time or attention to follow more than the broad strokes of the war nowadays

But even still from what I’ve seen it looks more likely than Trump’s ridiculous plan

A lot of what I do actively consume about Ukraine is from https://youtube.com/@perunau (great channel btw), and whatever randomly crosses my lemmy feed

EDIT:

Wait a sec, after having done a bit of quick searching, it looks like it’s already confirmed to have been used a couple of times? And is actively in production? Why do you think it’s not real?

Hopefully we should see some flamingos doin stuff soon

Rare Israel doing good thing?

Is it just me or does that airfield look a lot like a pistol?

It also likely has less sheathing and whatnot and is not designed for durability past its use so it would not be ideal

And as another commenter said it’s the connectors that are the expensive bit

Nope, it is in fact prop drones using them. I couldnt quickly find a good article or anything on it, but I’m pretty sure because the fiber is just draping freely from the drone to the ground there is plenty of space for the necessary curvature, which I assume isn’t actually that big since it is carried on spools on the drone to counteract getting tangled.

I’m sure there are some specific downsides and more nuanced limitations but the ability to not be affected by RF jamming outweighs it.

Theyre probably trying to say the rest of NATO besides the US should take the lead. Regardless, is stupid.

Minimum viable prop aircraft?

Fuck, I only graduated HS a few years ago but somehow I forgot that was a thing and how shit it was, must have blocked it out

At least it’s not mandatory mandatory, at least in my school you could just sit down and not do it as I usually did cuz they can’t actually punish you for not doing it iirc

Etymologically yes, but I’m not so sure on a legal basis. I’d have to go and read the specific laws that would apply to them, and different countries have slightly different legal meanings of terrorism.

Always hyped for a new perun video

You also underestimate the stupidity of the average voter/person. Most people vote on vibes, not policy, and don’t pay that much actual attention to politics.

I would absolutely buy one of those shirts lol
