All the flat earthers seem to do experiments to prove its round.

Air traffick controllers exist for a reason. There would be a lot more if not for a lot of work to prevent collisions.

Until the game tries to release a game on the Wii and now the character is suddenly right handed.

but you do if you want to politely inform the US that you can hit their base if you so wish and so to be very careful about future actions

And all other bases and targets of interest in a 4Mm radius. Could lead to the US spreading interceptors more thinly to protect more targets. It also informs tech and oil companies facilities in that area about such a risk to see if they'll push more to end hostilities.

I think that's the 737 MAX

Thanks for the read!

Ammonium perchlorate is the biggest vulnerability. It is the solid rocket oxidizer present in every missile with a solid motor, from Patriot to THAAD to Arrow to ATACMS. The 600 tons required to reload one 96-hour operation represents 6.7 percent of the entire annual production capacity of AMPAC’s facility in Cedar City, Utah, the single domestic source. There is no second supplier. A disruption at that one facility would halt all solid rocket motor production in the United States simultaneously.

Wished it gave similar breakdown for other raws. Found this for gallium, so dropping some quotes in case others were interested: https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2024/mcs2024-gallium.pdf

Government Stockpile: None. ... World high-purity refined gallium production in 2023 was estimated to be about 320,000 kilograms, a 3% increase from the revised 2022 figure of 310,000 kilograms. Canada, China, Japan, Slovakia, and the United States were the known principal producers of high-purity refined gallium. The United Kingdom ceased high-purity refined gallium production in 2018. Gallium was recovered from new scrap in Canada, China, Japan, Slovakia, and the United States. World high-purity refined gallium production capacity was an estimated 340,000 kilograms per year, and secondary high-purity gallium production capacity was an estimated 280,000 kilograms per year.

It includes numbers for primary production and total production capacity in kgs:

*United States: — —

*China: 600,000 1,000,000

*Japan: 3,000 10,000

*Korea: 2,000 16,000

*Russia 5,000 10,000

*Other countries: — 88,000

*World total (rounded): 610,000 1,100,000

Weird they claim the US is was one of "the known principal producers" and then says it effectively produced none.

World Resources: Gallium occurs in very small concentrations in ores of other metals. Most gallium is produced as a byproduct of processing bauxite, and the remainder is produced from zinc-processing residues. The average gallium content of bauxite is 50 parts per million. U.S. bauxite deposits consist mainly of subeconomic resources that are not generally suitable for alumina production owing to their high silica content. Some domestic zinc ores contain up to 50 parts per million gallium and could be a significant resource, although no gallium is currently recovered from domestic ores. Gallium contained in world resources of bauxite is estimated to exceed 1 million tons, and a considerable quantity could be contained in world zinc resources. However, less than 10% of the gallium in bauxite and zinc resources is potentially recoverable.

Can they fuck each other?

Are you sure you aren't the problem?

Perhaps it's actually an aircraft that doesn't officially exist and they don't want more pictures of it like the ones from Greece?

I'll believe Trump mean that he really didn't want Israel to do that when I see decapitation strikes by the US on Israeli leadership...

I still use my name my mom gave me at birth. Its a masc name and I'm transfem. Egg cracked like 4 years ago and I haven't had any names I feel like trying. I do sometimes use alternative feminine spellings that don't change the pronunciation (which I first used in a pokemon game like a decade before egg cracking).

Definitely motivating me to ebike to work more than if this wasn't going on. Didn't see gas prices going up the first week they started spiking because I just biked everyday (wish I could say the same about this week, but unfortunately, this week hasn't been the same). Curious if traffic has changed at all or will in the near future. Hopefully this will lead to people becoming slightly less dependent on fossil fuels...
