@ Robert So, you agree that the same sleight of hand by the PTB happens here as well, the difference being only one of degree and better PR.

I would say that the PTB in the US nickel and dime the population via slightly unfair laws that favor institutions and the wealthy (and in some cases they do favor very poor/disenfranchised as…[Read more]

Yeah, Enco, the authoritarian thugs always need an enemy to divert attention from the fact that millions are not living their best lives.

Yeah, that’s sure how it works here in the United States, isn’t it?

LOL, right just say “Biden Sucks” out loud in the park and the police show up and beat the fuck out of you. Rus…[Read more]

Yeah, Enco, the authoritarian thugs always need an enemy to divert attention from the fact that millions are not living their best lives. If you are a Palestinian who thinks Hamas is where it’s at, or a North Korean who subscribes to the notion that your leader and his daddy are deities; there is little hope for you. If you are an American who…[Read more]

@Enco I agree that spread spectrum signals are very resistant to unintentional jamming signals, however after a bit of analysis with a high-speed signal processing computer, an effective jamming signal that is highly correlated to the control signal can be synthesized and transmitted. Of course, consumer products that are being used in this…[Read more]

Ukraine is working on net guns and Russia has drone jammers but not nearly enough of them it seems. Multiple drone boats were able to hit and sink the Russian warship Ivanovets. She was armed with radar-controlled gatling guns; something is fundamentally wrong with Russia’s military. I don’t think it’s all because of their equipment sucks either.…[Read more]

Of course, drone-killing AI drones will immediately be released following AI killer drones, LOL.

I’d say drone jamming transmitters (a radio) or a crate full of shotguns are a lot cheaper than having hundreds of tanks tossing their turrets, each costing 100 million rubles, not to mention the trained crews.  BTW, a self-guided drone is not cheap; at that point it is more like a cruise missile. GPS signals are jammable, inertial based…[Read more]

China, Russia, India, Europe and Japan all have their own global positioning satellites and systems. This is why star wars will be real. Knock out their satellites and then go into encoded military mode with your own.

Drones are beatable. You can jam their control signals or intercept and redirect the drone right back to who is controlling them.…[Read more]

I already know my vote for sleepy joe won’t count in this republic. He will probably get more votes than Trump and still lose just like Hillary did 7 years ago.

Could become irrelevant to his election bid if he is found guilty of inciting an insurrection in time, however billionaires seem to have their way with the justice system, so yeah…it’s probably a “good as dead” semi-democracy. Probably end up in a nuclear war with China, Yey!

I agree, there is a window, say 1 or 2 pints where it can be easier to understand, but once you get past three and especially past 6, I find the slurred speech and reverting to local dialect makes it pretty tough to understand. Following a drunk man in a bar in Glasgow (or in my experience in a Pub in county Kerry) was so impossible I just nodded…[Read more]

Defo Scottish. Sounds like a Southern Highland’s accent but has lived in the central belt (between Glasgow and Edinburgh). Or the other way around. Could be wrong. It’s not particularly strong. By this I mean, completely understandable without strain or effort. Had a plumber in from Glasgow last year, I had to ask him to repeat himself three times…[Read more]

When I go to a city council meeting and they ask us to bow our heads for the invocation; I always lean back, interlock my hands behind my head and whistle “zippidy do da”.

I agree, strategy and technology-wise, you can fight the wrong war. Kinda like how the Russian war in Ukraine is relatively devolved; a series of meat-wave attacks with unsupported, cold-war era armor.  Don’t underestimate what else the US defense system is working on just because we still build carriers. Who knows what types of active defense…[Read more]

Because young people are often ignorant of history.  It’s like the human race has to learn history all over again. We are back to the middle age crusades and caliphates. Muslims vs Judeo-Christians. The takedown of infidels is literally the doctrine of Islam. They will admit that…they tell us they can be patient but also non-relenting. It’s…[Read more]

Biden has a BIG problem. He needs a particular demographic behind him to win the election but he’s going to have to abandon or at least temper his support of Israel in order to win their enthusiasm back. Biden needs his young climate activists. But they’re angry about the war in Gaza
