When you look at how actual modern fighters work like the F-35, they're taking on targets over the horizon before the targets even know they're being engaged. At that point, what is a fighter but a mobile missile platform? Does being maneuverable matter when your enemy is never going to see you in the first place?

    Github will call you if you hit 5GB in a repository, Google drive lets you have 15.

    You'd have to write your own sync routines, and Github also has individual file size limits.

    You could replace Chinese with Russian and the author with Ayn Rand. If she had had kids.

    It's the same rationalizing of hatred and disdain. A wounded mind lashing out at the source of it's pain.

    Musk just made Starlink a national security risk. I'd expect any future negotiations to take that into account everywhere. He just made SpaceSail a much more viable product, despite massively higher costs.

    Do you really need the helicopter? Wouldn't the gun on a turret do the same job without wasting fuel and pilot time? I mean sure they're expensive guns, but that's gotta be a lot cheaper than a helicopter?

    It's entirely possible he could flee given the investigations he's about to face. He knows what happens to pedophile in prison. And while his legal team, even though inept, will keep him from ever seeing the inside of a prison. That fear would be enough to make him flee.

    WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

    Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
     

    About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

    So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

     

    Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

    So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

    I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
