@AWeirdPhysicist Could you spin it up on an analog input without needing significant onboard processing? If you can constrain the FOV with a standard MEMS you are getting close to hobby level fun.
@RetVet99 Invariably has some small business set aside requirements while also stating that they need to have 40 years of past performance and they are going to spec some god awful inspection process with 3 separate agencies and then declare the ovens ITAR or some shit.
@RyanLostinTX They also think putting jalapeΓ±o on things is an aesthetic choice. I swear every damn place I go now I have to qualify that I am not interested in looking like Iβm eating spicy food, I want to eat a genuinely spicy dish. Performative commies. The spiceflation is out of hand.
@Schizointel Kirkland required their product to be by some metric 1% better, and in no way inferior. Where do we see kirkland value in todayβs intermediate strike capabilities?
@ControlledPairs But look how sad he is! You cant target sad troops in the open?! Its only fair if they are walking around so you can shred their legs with molten hot shrapnel and have them writhe in pain for an hour or two only to blow their own brains out in a ditch. So much more humane.
@DJSnM I havent seen this mentioned before but TCAS will not generate an RA for aircraft in certain configurations/altitudes. Its unlikely that with the AA flight dirty on short final that they were not tcas inhibited. They would get a TA, but no RA. Xpndr would deconflict otherwise.
@RepThomasMassie In FY 24 we authorized >$3B to subsaharan Africa in aid and assistance. Why would we authorize aid to a different continent to the tune of BILLIONS a year, but now when its American citizens on the recieving end if their own tax dollars, we have to hand wring and moan.
@DerekdotSpace Its worse that they shut down vs never cycled. Unless blowing the pad apart today physically destroyed something I think that the 33 engine idea will come part and parcel with multi engine failure as the norm. Starship->N2
@tmneff@DrPhiltill So its just like spalling in ballistics? So theoretically dense materials would shed a higher number of secondaries at higher energy states than a comparably more sparse alternative?
