They’re light weight optic models. You’re right that infrared and other wavelengths are trivial to train on but the compute becomes expensive and the combined battery + chips become very heavy for these drones that also need to carry an explosive payload AND remain nimble to function. Flying through a forest means rapidly adjusting course constantly for branches and whatnot.

We’ve had the technology to do this for over a decade. The reason we haven’t seen these in war yet is because they don’t work especially well and there are cheaper + better options.

I mean, in theory, I think you’re right. But while a $200 build out is possible & miserable, a $2000 build out can be something actually enjoyable.

Also, you should always keep some escape money in case you get injured and need a hotel for a night or two. Even for things like hard tack, while technically possible I guess, you would still need some mechanism to make hard tack at scale. I would not encourage this option for people that aren’t able to dedicate $3k-$5k for all gear/food/permits/hotels/etc.

Ok I know this really isn’t what you’re after, but have you considered taking 6 months to hike a long distance trail such as the AT or PCT? It only costs a few thousand for all the gear and permits and gets you out on your own for a good many months. Along the way you will develop survival and social skills which may find you in a better paying job. And for your dickhead brother, you could brag about that journey.

• Hydrate
• Eat
• A meditative exercise where you lay still and imagine your toes being pulled down. Like as if gravity got 10x heavier at your toes pushing them down. Then your fee, ankles, knees, legs, etc. up to your head. It should last 3-5 minutes and at worst it’s very calming

Online surveillance and other enshitification is becoming so rampant and apparent, I think it’s actually pushing people offline. Maybe it’s just my bubble but I’m seeing way more earnest effort from others to meet IRL for various activities.

Owned opposition

I have this thing where they close when I’m tired

Yes. Normies and non-normies alike have used Reddit as a goldmine for reviews & advice on niche products. Because it was generally real people giving real advice, and bullshit ads were downvoted.

This will incentivize abusive behavior and lead to it no longer functioning as a place you can reasonably expect real people/

The lemmy bingo card. Get called a Nazi, Get told to go back to Reddit, Get taunted due to something about your host domain, Get told you actually hate some group you actively are defending, etc

K8 namespaces

They usually don’t have a closed cooling loop that’s the whole fucking problem

Forum users are famously bad at discussing nuanced topics. Anything that requires more thought than brainlessly taking the polarized stance leads to infighting.

Sex != Gender

But gender is also a protected class.

So gender discrimination

The conservative sub was malding over this.

Like, was he even known for his politics? I knew him as a weird actor whose primary vehicle for comedy was just being a weird oddball. They really will just defend any sex criminal?

According to this

The survey of 27,541 state and federal inmates found that some 4.1 percent of adult prison inmates reported being sexually victimized in state and federal prisons during the prior 12 months

So yeah still quite common. At least in American federal prisons.

Yeah that’s a fair point. No point in being a dick about it though.

I don’t give two shits what happens to him personally

So, if there was a magic wand that made every rape convict magically incapable of sexual violence, you would be ok with them being set free with no time served?

I had a draft message that was basically “Before I bother, I want to make sure you engage in good faith. Can we agree on things like your DNA affects your hormones which effect you body development”, and a few other really really basic pillars that cannot be reasonably debated. I had to leave so left it as a draft…

But uh. In the other thread, you already claimed HRT takes full effect instantly in your They do, actually statement. Also your stance implies a pre-18 start for HRT which is a whole other bucket of nuance. You already started nitpicking grammar like a 2012 internet troll. You already started accusing the other dude of feeding into the “Nazi agenda”. I just know that you are incapable of good faith discussion on a topic that is inherently touchy without letting your emotions take over.

So I won’t bother engaging further, enjoy having the last word.

I happens literally every time.

Ah yes, the only possible reason anyone could oppose any possible aspect of any possible trans issue at all is if they are a transphobe. There is no reasonable opposition to any proposed trans issue at all theoretically ever even once at all ever. It’s always actually simply hate.

Good job. Have fun on my loser list.

I really just goes to the “Is prison a punishment, a rehabilitation system, or a deterrence”. If someone isn’t rehabilitated after 10 years, then they also won’t be after 20 (IMO). And there are lots of studies that show lengthy sentences don’t really function as a deterrence due to human brains poorly conceptualizing 5 vs 10 vs 15 vs 20 years. At some point it’s just “A long time in jail” and advocating for 10 vs 20 years doesn’t benefit the deterrence aspect. Also, your average violent criminal isn’t thinking “Well I WOULD rape her if it was only 5 years, but since it will be 10, I won’t”

So then it’s just about punishment. And 10 years in jail is a very very intense punishment. Forced to choose, I would take a LOT of other punishments to not have to spend the next 10 years in jail which, for what it’s worth, often leads to rape from others in the prison.
