I think this is like the hellfire missile with the 6 blades. Damaging certain kinds of structures can be rather difficult with explosives, so a kinetic impactor with a large reach is preferred for these types of steel frame structures.

This was an issue with US strikes on a comm tower in Iran. It got hit numerous times but remained standing because the explosives barely rattled the tower structure.

    Barely anything in the chud and zoomer (one each), mostly just unc and gramp stuff. I'm not much for online persistence systems or gitgud grinding, so I think I'm slowly aging out of (mainstream) vidya.

    I like foods that are prepared to be bite-sized. Like if you are preparing food that is not able to fit into a human mouth, what are you even doing? Fingers, spoons or chopsticks should be all you need to tuck into some well prepared cuisine.

    This reminds me of the recent video about Lenin's What Is To Be Done. Very much the "economist" faction of demsoc doing basic practicality while making basically no effort to educate the masses against the predations of capital.

    The synopisis: During the Covid pandemic, New York City created an Open Street on 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights and Corona, Queens — which was one of the city’s pandemic epicenter, where thousands died. The Open Street quickly became a lifeline to residents desperate to exercise or socialize in a socially responsible way. But even as the pandemic faded, residents quickly realized that the 34th Avenue Open Street had become an essential amenity in a neighborhood with among the lowest amount of park space per-capita.

    Quickly, neighborhood activists rallied and got the administration of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio to commit to a full buildout of the Open Street into its current configuration: Paseo Park, which, as its name suggests, is a 1.5-mile long promenade for cycling, strolling and just connecting with neighbors.

     

    Didn't know about this bit of history:

    veteran U.S. activist S. Brian Willson, who lost both legs in 1987 after being run over by a Navy ammunition train while protesting the shipment of arms to the Contras, and whom the Ronald Reagan administration once labeled a “domestic terrorist.”
