Of course they were upset, you were preventing your colleague from putting his best foot forward.

I assume the SUV that got t-boned by the front-loader ran a red light, right? With no traffic lights visible it just looks like there must have been a protected left being signalled. Edit: I guess the front loader also made a left turn from the far right lane, which was also pretty bad. Just trying to figure out the proper assignment of blame on this one.

That sucked. Also maybe ya'll should steer away from saying "Chinesium" as a general term for dodgy poo poo (Or in general really). IDC how much you love AvE because even that dudes basis for the term is flawed given more often than not when he says it it's not even about parts from China and for the longest time he shat on sintered metal manufacturing as being shite and a basis for the term despite the fact that it's not really. (Edit: and poo poo the clip posted by the OP has Japanese text in it).

There is sound on MP4 embeds, just not on Apple products. There is even a bug in the Awesome App and I keep hearing the sound of this video until I load another thread. I know the Chinese can produce quality products, but you won't get it for the price everyone expects.

Just so it's clear: I don't think it's good that people say "Chinesium" to describe things that are shite. It's basically racist when you get down to it. IDC about general attitudes towards manufacturing in China or whatever. This is pretty a cut-and-dry situation. Last I'll say on it.

Cojawfee posted:What does this do? Trick the incoming missile into thinking the launch site already got blowed up and then it goes home? It's an underlay defence for deployment when terminal ABMs fail. It was designed to detonate only seconds before the incoming RVs would detonate. At that stage said RVs would already be terminal and on a fixed trajectory. The theory was that the volume of debris jettisoned into the path of the RV would either disable it and/or shield the complex from the full force of the detonation. Also as a secondary dust ejected into higher altitudes could screen other incoming RVs by increasing resistance and throwing them off-course or causing them to burn-up. All of this was in theory of course. The Densepack dust-defence system was never deployed and obviously never used.

Most RVs had terminal velocities around 5km/s which is just insane. Because of that terminal intercept ABMs had some truly insane performance metrics. For example the Sprint ABM accelerated at ~100G to 10km/s, all to intercept an RV below 60km altitude. To compensate many terminal ABMs had nuclear warheads so that they had larger margins of error to intercept. In Russia there's an ABM system around Moscow which still fields terminal intercept missiles with nuclear warheads.

Basically. Things that had nuclear warhead options in the Cold War:
Not an exhaustive list ofc. Also nuclear weapon development didn't end with the Cold War. Russia is fielding the Rs-28 Sarmat ultra-heavy ICBM which has a maximum yield by throw-weight of 50Mt which can be divided up with say 5 x 10Mt RVs or a myriad of HGVs (Hypersonic Glide Vehicles, basically manoeuvrable RVs, unpredictable terminal phase makes intercept much harder). The Sarmat is technically the most powerful weapon on the planet. Edit: is there a nuke thread maybe I should post this garbage there?

LifeSunDeath posted:it's pretty goddamn OSHA that they would force dudes to just stand all clumped up and advance slowly when someone's also slowly pointing cannons at them. This is from a few days ago, but I'm living in the past, sorry. One of the main reason to have infantry in close order is to avoid getting murdered by cavalry, which would jump at any sign of infantry units losing cohesion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97dBfdNrf9A You would still have infantry fighting in loose formation, your light infantry, jaegers, chasseurs-a-pied/voltigeurs, rifles, etc, and even line infantry, circumstances permitting. But they would be dependent on having some sort of counter to being overrun by cavalry, be it rough terrain, falling back to main lines, etc.

Chinese attitudes towards manufacturing, as you put it, tend to be worse than other countries. Its not due to genetic inferiority of the Chinese but rather complex culture factors that arise from being a late developing industrial power having to deal with already established powers. And of course they can produce high quality products when needed. It just amazes me that we are supposed to pretend that their general manufacturing culture doesn't have system wide issues because some dumbass thinks its racist to point it out.
