Fine, it's a patient and considerate missile then.

Just $150 million for this, but also:

In addition, DoD is announcing a significant package of air defense interceptors using approximately $2.2 billion in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funds. This funding will be used to purchase interceptors for PATRIOT and NASAMS air defense systems for Ukraine

Some are drawn in too soon, but there are some that are held out too long, believe it or not. I hope you get to enjoy as much of the time you have, and that you come to peace with the end, whenever it comes, hopefully with as little unpleasantness as possible.

Please accept an awkward hug from a stranger...

...in what way is it planned? Prognosis or resolution?

Why are these posts getting downvoted? I don't get it.

Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries [...]

Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.

The NSA officer standing behind Biden: "Did Mr. President stutter?"

No, not really. This has been happening for almost a decade, it's not something that just started.

Why do the drone boats weave and loop around so much? Seems like they're lingering in the "shoot me" zone.

Edit: could it be that they want to draw fire to themselves so other boats can move in instead?

I doubt it, that would be too much of a coincidence to have two people named Torvalds in one picture.

I read that this is a common misconception: the high heat is not enough to denature any proteins (else it would kill you too) and, what's more surprising, it actually makes viruses/bacteria more active. But it also makes your immune system more active, with an overall win in effectiveness over the microbes, which is what makes it useful.
