poo poo was wild in Baltimore last night, lots of low flying helicopter poo poo, shouting/screams, fireworks thrown at police, which were answered with flashbangs. Actually not sure if anyone got gassed or OCed, but the return from the cops was way too loud to be firecrackers.

Everything was chill through about 1030pm then it got stupid.

Kinda surprised nobody lit anything on fire, knock on wood.

I highly doubt it considering the shithead who did this in Charlottesville is now serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

If dude was a cop he wouldn't have even been arrested.

Probably not a very hot take, but I'm beginning to think that most support for the police and opposition to defunding the police is based entirely on people thinking that the police act like they do on TV and movies.

Pretty much this yeah, a lot of people have the "TV cops do good things, so it's only a couple bad cops" but the reality is that it runs deeper than that, especially in the upper leadership of many PDs, and police culture in the US in general. People who may be good cops are highly discouraged from restraining bad cops, and police unions do their damnedest to prevent bad cops from seeing repercussions from bad actions, which further discourages cops who may try to correct problems in their departments.


Basically the entire structure is rotten because of over 40 years of pushing the police into a mentality of Us vs Them and that they're at war with the American populace. Watch the John Oliver piece, its good.

Just curious, could a modern EFP ATGM penetrate the hull armor of a WW2 battleship?

Like butter most likely, but you wouldn't aim for the belt. You'd go for the squishy bits with more tank-like armor thickness to disable key things.

Though, if you used a couple anti-ship missiles that you could probably sink a battleship no matter where you hit it. There's a reason that nobody puts huge amounts of armor on their ships anymore, as warheads on anti-ship missiles are powerful enough to punch right through the kind of armor they put on battleships and have enough explosive to put ship sinking size holes in them.

I guess if you didn't care about sinking it a javelin would punch through.

I know very little about the stock market aside from it just being worldwide legalized gambling with other people's money, but that read to me like if the Treasury just started printing more money to pay a debt. Am I'm far off?

What they're hoping to do is get hertz to print more shares and give them to the creditors, who will pawn them off on idiot robinhood traders playing stonks. It would wipe the gently caress out of thousands of people who are novices at trading, while the creditors run off with the robinhood folks money.

The actual value of HTZ post bankruptcy is 0, because it's being liquidated and will cease to exist once bankruptcy proceedings are over (the brand name will probably be bought by someone as part of the liquidation though). The robinhood bump is a positive feedback loop.

The thing is, they state they're "acquiring additional ballots" for the dumpster ceremony. They're probably driving around to people's houses and jacking ballots out of their mailboxes. Highly illegal btw to do that.

if an ICBM takes flight, there is only one conclusion anyone will make: nuke on the way

hypersonic cruise missiles may in theory have either conventional or nuclear payloads.

whether that makes us safer or not is open for debate

Not really open for debate, because a country which picks up hypersonic cruise missiles coming out of a country known to have nuclear weapons would be safe in assuming that what's incoming is canned sunshine, and would respond by kicking off MAD.

They're literally supposed to get around ballistic interceptor defenses.

He's the head coder and has been responsible for keeping the forums from falling apart technically for a couple years. He also seems like a decent guy and has been willing to openly work with the community on things like improving the site. Cyrano says he was working on building an entirely new SA platform in case Lowtax didn't agree to sell, and that it would have gone into production this evening, so he at least has interest in keeping the community together.

Also he's got a Post My Favorites thread where he posts out-of-context snippets of Radium code and some of it is just fantastic.
