  • Russia announced it had deployed, to Ukraine, its best new artillery-detecting radar. Hours later, the Ukrainians blew it up—with artillery.

  • I was a counter battery radar operator. The systems I used 20 years ago had these neat things called electronic counter measures. I guess russia never got the message that it's not a smart idea to radiate in a zone with anti-radiation missiles.

  • These idiots are lazy so it's probably just because you're cutting out ten pounds of ceramic and steel plates to carry. Also plates are bulky and weird if you're not used to them so wearing a plate carrier without them is just easier and more comfortable.

  • It appears to be a plate carrier sans plate.

  • Today's web is the opposite of what early Internet utopians had in mind. Now the situation is somewhat similar to climate change: even committed activists can no longer turn the tide for the better.

  • but I think (hope?) it’s a net positive.

    Definitely a net positive. My friend and I were discussing something similar the other day. He rides motos and I ride downhill and we both learned via youtube. What used to be restricted to people who could afford private lessons or coaching are now available to people even in third world countries. It's opened up a lot of new horizons for people.

  • Maine's secretary of state tells NPR why she disqualified Trump from the ballot

  • No one who has been formally disqualified under Section 3 was charged under the criminal “rebellion or insurrection” statute (18 U.S.C. § 2383) or its predecessors so why would Trump need to be?

    What's a useful mental model you've put into practice

  • Right? Inversion thinking just sounds like a fancy way of saying anxiety.

  • I’m confused. In what way does sarcasm break paladin oaths? Not even devotion paladins would break their oaths via sarcasm. Here are the tenets of a devotion paladin:

    Tenets of Devotion

    Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.

    Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.

    Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.

    Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.

    Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.

    Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.

    As you can see sarcasm isn’t mentioned.

  • How does sarcasm break my oath? As a lawful paladin I don't care if they're mad about being blocked from doing something illegal.

  • Man, people must really love you if you twist words like that. The comment was meant in the general sense not the specific argument we’re having about weapons. Im not responding past this because you obviously just want to argue. Good day.

  • Most people arent going to research a social media comment to justify a belief that doesnt matter. So no, i dont find it even a little odd.

  • Sorry by common sense i meant my military training common sense would lead me to shoot anyone with a gun if i were committing a crime with a gun.

    Squid, we have different views, thats fine but im just trying to explain my point of view. You obviously have me confused with someone else as ive not argued for anything faith based at all. Im not a conservative and you assuming that is probably why youre thinking people are arguing in bad faith. When i said no one wants to do the research that includes the US govt. i gave no justifications as to why no one wants to do research.

  • You wont find that research because no one wants to do that research. Also how would you? It will always be anecdotal. I can only tell you my experience as a former soldier. I would shoot anyone who i saw with a weapon if i were committing a crime with a gun. It’s just common sense.

  • You’re more likely to be targeted first in an attack if you have a visible weapon. Similar to how bank robbers will shoot the guards first if the guards have guns. If you have your weapon concealed you may be able to shoot the attacker before he is aware you have a weapon.
