There is a pro-US guy, who has basically said that the US navy tricked him by calling it a battleship, and that it will get reduced in size once he can’t do anything to stop it. The navy has supposedly wanted midsize missile boats for a few decades, and they see this as their one chance to build it.

I doubt any of the people actually pulling the strings are planning for this to ever be built in its current form.

Youtube sometimes decides to change what I’m searching for without any input. Like autocorrect, but it just changes the whole search term to something else.

I haven’t protested before, so this may be a naive question, but why don’t people bring long sticks to act as pseudo spears? I don’t think there are as many restrictions on carrying big wooden sticks as there are for guns, and a wall of spears is a pretty imposing target, even if the cops have shields. Is it too difficult to have people form ranks?

Himars destroyed by new (?) Russian drone: https://old.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1qe9uij/ru_pov_footage_of_the_detection_and_destroying/

The drone has swept wings and long enough range to hit a Himars, but it also has a lancet style targeting camera feed. People on reddit speculate that it travels at or above Mach 0.7 because of the swept wings, but nobody is clear on what exactly it is. It is clearly not a lancet or Geran, as the shape of the wing does not match.

Have you not seen the fedposting? Its all over the MN reddits, especially in the smaller posts.

As a brain surgeon, I much prefer the Sopranos.

Even from a liberal perspective, the optics on this are awful. Leaving his citizens out to dry while he goes on TV to whine about it is going end his career.

According to posts on the MN subreddits, he was fleeing in a car for 30 minutes before getting out and running on foot when they shot him. I haven’t seen anyone not linked to regime affiliated news claiming he attacked anyone. A livestream by his wife was posted, but I didn’t watch it.

users/day has been slowly declining over the past few months, but I have noticed more high quality posts/comments in the past few weeks than I did two months ago. I would have expected the constant news events over the past week to increase our user count by a lot, but it didn’t seem to have an effect.

Did something actually happen?

Counterpoint: I need the most up to date news pumped into my veins, and anything that works against that is bad. /s

I think their internet is still out, we might have to wait until they send missiles back for confirmation of a strike.

The ability to correct generally means the amount of squares that can have their value flipped (bit error) without changing the message. This can be changing white -> black or black -> white with identical results. If you want to know more about how it works, the article it links about Reed-Solomon error correction goes into more detail about the algorithm.

Still not a good way to solve this issue, but QR codes (and other codes like it) are ubiquitous for good reason.

QR codes have built in redundancy and can have a not insignificant amount of damage, from 7% to 30% depending on variant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Error_correction

“I triggered it 35 minutes ago” continues to be the right choice
