Internal supremacist groups are doing very bad things.

The discussion of “well, Palestinians are just trying to goad a response” ignores that Israeli citizens are doing this to Israeli citizens based on race.

quote:

The key event of the night came when hundreds of extremist Jews, in a rally organized on social media hours prior and explicitly defined ahead of time as having violent intentions, marched along the Bat Yam promenade, smashing Arab property as they headed toward neighboring Jaffa, with police doing little to stop them.

At a certain point, the mob identified a driver on the road as Arab and began attacking his car.

The driver was then pulled out and beaten by dozens of rioters before eventually being left alone. He was taken to Ichilov hospital, which said he was in serious but stable condition.

Media tends to focus most on rockets and the IDF leveling apartment blocks. Understandable. But the internal citizen on citizen violence in Israel is a huge issue, and politicians are claiming impotence to stop Jewish Israelis from taking part, calling on people to calm themselves.

Combining Cold War and Lathes, there's a simulator for the Soviet 1K62 lathe.

quote:

Stankoimport was not a manufacturing company but the machine-tool export arm of the USSR. The organisation offered a wide variety of machines, all well specified and very keenly priced to undercut Western manufacturers and so bring in much desired and very necessary foreign currencies.
Sometimes found badged by the English agents as a Hartle-Stedall, this was a very heavily built lathe with a generous capacity, an excellent speed range and with a squat, powerful appearance slightly reminiscent of the English Holbrook. Sold from the late 1950s onwards it was of "normal" precision by Soviet standard and not the most precise of the lathes that they manufactured - but was it was robust The Moscow factory "A. I. Efremov Krasnyi Proletarii Moscow Machine-tool Plant" produced slightly more than 200,000 examples of the IK62, making it the most ubiquitous in its size range. Other plants were also involved in its manufacture, or at least ones with slight modifications, but engineers in the know, understanding that the Moscow-built examples were of superior quality, still look for the letter "K" in the name.

I could rationalize having him come in at a late stage of the trauma program to show that people can change and not be a piece of poo poo, and also have him see how sexual assault affects a persons life. But it's so completely and utterly misguided and wrong to have him be the peer mentor starting the trauma program.

Perhaps, but the program was also running before he began his jail time and he got in by convincing the doctor running the program that he was falsely accused.

Ah by start I meant being a participant at the start of the program, where I assumed the 6 day retreat that he was a part of was the starting point of the program.

Either way he shouldn't have been anywhere near the women participating in the Trauma program without a full disclosure.

I don’t know anything about this clip or that building, and I don’t know if my information is still accurate, but in the past the IDF would call residents in a building they were going to strike and tell them to leave. If that’s still true it’s probably how they knew where to set up the camera.

Would like to see this air strike technology applied to building, bridge, stadium demos in the US. Couple it with a local air show, can you imagine? Better use of those bombs/shells.

Don't they do some kind of double tap "knocking" thing where they hit it with a non explosive a few minutes before they level it? I have a vague memory of that from one of the last few dozen times this has happened.

They would also do the knocking thing, or at least have before. Phone posting or I’d find a video.

Also I remember an old OIF clip of a 2000lb LGB hitting a building down the street from some soldiers who called it in, that poo poo stuck with me. Just a quick flash of green and that telltale sound and boom, poo poo was gone. You don’t really comprehend the speed of it till you see it.

But I thought it was still kinda obsolete, mainly in that its pretty slow so can take up to an hour to reach a ground attack target as opposed to less than half an hour or even minutes for other planes?

So, did you know Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple makes total sense once you know the story behind it?

quote:

The lyrics tell a true story: on 4 December 1971, Deep Purple were in Montreux, Switzerland, to record an album (Machine Head) using a mobile recording studio (rented from the Rolling Stones and known as the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio—referred to as the "Rolling truck Stones thing" and "a mobile" in the lyrics) at the entertainment complex that was part of the Montreux Casino (referred to as "the gambling house" in the song lyric).

On the eve of the recording session, a Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention concert was held in the casino's theatre. This was to be the theatre's final concert before the casino complex closed down for its annual winter renovations, which would allow Deep Purple to record there. At the beginning of Don Preston's synthesizer solo on "King Kong", the place suddenly caught fire when somebody in the audience fired a flare gun toward the rattan covered ceiling, as mentioned in the "some stupid with a flare gun" line.[9][10] Although there were no major injuries, the resulting fire destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bass guitarist Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Deep Purple watched from their hotel. "It was probably the biggest fire I'd ever seen up to that point and probably ever seen in my life" said Glover. "It was a huge building. I remember there was very little panic getting out, because it didn't seem like much of a fire at first. But, when it caught, it went up like a fireworks display." The "Funky Claude" running in and out is referring to Claude Nobs, the director of the Montreux Jazz Festival who helped some of the audience escape the fire.[11] Swiss police named Zdeněk Špička, a Czechoslovak refugee living in Épalinges, as a suspect in the case, but he fled Switzerland shortly after.[12]

Huh. Now why did I bring that up...?

Right, The aircraft carrier Kuznetsov will next year go to sea trials in the Barents Sea.

quote:

The engines were old, and the black smoke was caused by incomplete combustion of heavy fuel oil and engine lubricant.

A major restoration work has now been going on for years and includes replacement of the main boilers, turbo-gear units, gas turbine, diesel generators and the propeller auxiliary systems, state-affiliated news agency TASS reports.

So look forward to that. Also:

quote:

Additional to the engines, the current modernization work includes renewal of weapons, electronics and aircraft support equipment. When all work is completed, the warship’s service life will be extended by 5 years, according to TASS.

In other news, Russian nuclear sub builder Sevmash now has 30,000 employees. I don't know if in Soviet times the USSR had multiple yards building nuclear submarines, but Russia only builds nuclear subs at Sevmash. Also, the first Yansen-M class submarine has been accepted by the Russian Navy for acceptance trials. (The first Yansen entered service and was revised enough that the rest of the class are going to be -m, which is a bit annoying, like B-1B being all the B-1s.)

Also, A Russian nuclear powered icebreaker was taking a year's worth of supplies down to Vostok base in the Antarctic. It got as far as the south Atlantic when a propeller fell off.

What is with their fixation on keeping that thing operational? Has Russia lost the capacity/ability to build a more modern replacement? I can't imagine that what they are doing is somehow cheaper than new construction.
