@defender_121 Well. There are about 300k bald eagles in the US and around 350M humans. Three orders of magnitude.

There, that's your black pill.

Applies to a lot of large-ish animals by the way. There are barely enough pumas in the US to populate a small town.

@NAAF0Racoon How is it supplied? Who supplies it?

Russian invasion was supplied by Russia (duh) through a wide border backed by railroads and stuff. Houtis are on the far side of a peninsula in a desert.

@SandyofCthulhu Why oak trees? That's just the crocodile-alligator strategy.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@mattyglesias The Soviet approach. Because that last time it worked really well, yeah.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@Rebel44CZ A lot of UGVs in use in Ukraine already have front and rear cameras mounted on the bridge. It just makes the thing way easier to drive.

@GrandpaRoy2 @pap3rw8 Gerberas started as decoys.

Anyway. Type something like "russian shahed stats decoy ratio" into your search engine and check the results. I'm getting "around 40%".

It will take time to locate proper sources but from just following discussions, that figure sounds about right.

@GrandpaRoy2 That's a Walksnail VTX. Ain't no magic bullet by any means.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@Robbington71 @visegrad24 Japanese obviously.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@ed_easylive @WarMonitor3 Ready or not, that would still be a major improvement over current situation in CAR.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@tzepras @dwarkesh_sp What's happening in the Western academia right now mirrors Soviet era developments in Russia. The set of "holy truths" was quite different back then, the ideological monoculture wasn't. Same shit, different flavoring.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@riscvprogram "Engineers control Linux", "Fully customizable" has not been true for quite a while now, CoC and systemd being decent markers of the shifts in control.

@gepardtatze @tedcruz Given current US trends, it's going to be a long wait I'm afraid. Plenty of loonies on either side of the aisle.

@mustafa__jones @visegrad24 At this point most of those countries are friendy with China due to being in China's backyard. Much more so than in Russia's.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@CGN8619 @ChrisO_wiki Stalin had a whole series of tanks named after him while he was still very much alive.

@visegrad24 Territorial Defence Force, Venezuela style?

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@SmellyWolf69 @visegrad24 Underfolder AKs. The buttstock is crappy but it is there.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@BulwarkOnline Although MAGA has set the plank really low, it is still going to be difficult to clear for the "liberals" (legacy term) given their social justice baggage and all that followed. More good and especially more freedom, with justice still on the list, yeah nah aint gonna fly.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@Rebel44CZ Never mind, my bad. I skimmed the post and assumed it's something sensible. It's not even about delivery in an hour then, more like deorbiting in an hour. WTF.

[deadratmouse @deadratmouse]

@Rebel44CZ Yes. But (a) that's not orbital mechanics and (b) it's a kinda solved problem. See: ICBMs since like the 70s.

In fact, this whole concept is basically "ICBMs for cargo delivery".
