@mk well, ya know, I won't be opening those particular ones because I kinda like them waterproof and all, but something tells me that the only fire/explosion hazard in those are the batteries. After all, it's not like they were shipped trough Israel or something 😉

Last batch just came. Seems legit even though they were discounted to 100 bucks. They even have the extra whip antennas as always. But for whatever reason, no programming cable in the box, even though you REALLY NEED the cable to set those up

@silas true that. But you can minimize the damage by simply doing stuff that's efficient and has minimal footprint, you know, like getting rid of all that solar and wind nonsense and replacing it with something like nuclear or even gas. Seems like a no-brainer to me, and it also seems to me like all of them "green new deal" imbeciles don't really like nature

@silas any solar panel you can buy, in the past and now, is an inefficient piece of unrecyclable (realistically) junk,and its production generates so much CO2 that you'll be lucky to get to "net zaro" within it's service life. On top of that, from a migrating bird's perspective it's a body of water where you stop on the way, and since you don't find any water there, you're likely dropping dead before you get wherever you're planning to get to, because you're not an airliner with reserve of fuel.

@silas not to mention all the other by-products of panel production. Sorry, lad, you've been lied to and you swallow it all, hook, sinker, and even the rod.

@11112011 @silas very nice screenshot. Congrats. You can post pics real good. But what's your point, exactly?

Hey 'muricans! Got all the illicit radio equipment that you might need from China yet? The tariffs are about to kick in and when that happens you'll be paying the middleman's 40% cut on top of the price for the same stuff. Just a reminder ;)

@Forestofenchantment @Invictus same. But if I was forced to pick, I'd probably go with George. It's the beard, you know 🤣

@MummaBear

@mk yeah, and I suppose the unit cost of lancet is 500 bucks, hu? That's actually an awesome news to me. I'll take a dozen ;)

@mk ok fine. And now separate the propaganda bullshit and apply it to anything even close to trying to take out an Abrams with both reactive armor and ranged defenses that are good enough to render rocket propelled grenades obsolete.
The US military doesn't need to worry about defending Soviet era junk meant to stop firecrackers

@mk don't forget that I'm using ad hominem "arguments" ;)

But hey, since you're at that researching stuff thing, you might want to look up how much and how far a briefcase-size quadcopter can actually carry, instead of relying on the BBC bullcrap ;)

@mk no, a 300 bucks drone can't counter a million bucks tank. It's an utter nonsense. And I would know, because I can actually build a 300 bucks drone and I can tell with absolute certainty that something like that won't even be able to carry a warhead strong enough to make a dent in any serious armor. Let alone range, detectability, "jammability" and all the other issues.

@mk let me ask you this: how much time you're willing to spend on proving to me that two plus two equals four? ;)

@mk also, to clarify, when I say "old" I don't necessarily mean "junk". It's just that brand new is always better than old because everything has a shelf life and the older it gets the more you spend on maintenance, not to mention that the more production you have going, the better your economy looks

@mk man, you're confusing laziness with unwillingness to waste time on trying to prove the obvious

@mk no, I can't. Not without really looking it up. But it is quite obvious that the US didn't order new production runs specifically for the purpose of supplying Ukraine, ergo all the gear that the US has sent over came from storage, and it also stands to reason that the gear will be replaced with brand new gear, no?

@mk I'm kinda thinking that Trump being Trump wants to make a business deal that benefits his team.
As it is now, he can dump old military gear in Ukraine, replace it with new gear and effectively charge it to Ukraine because he gets mineral rights, so it's hardly in his interest to end it.
He sort of showed the plebs that he sort of wants peace, the simple folk bought it and here we are.
Either that or he's a retard, but I don't believe that is the case

@mk well, you clearly have no arguments to present, so I'll just toy with you, son. It's fun.

@mk that's not news tho, son. Those are opinions.

And FYI, i've posted this because just a few days ago there was a bunch of people here yapping how both Trump and Putin want peace and the only hindering factor there is Ukraine, while now, you have ceasefire agreement with Ukraine and the US on one end and no one on the other because Russia quite simply doesn't want to end the hostilities, and instead of reversal in opinions, all I see is silence and bullshit.
Just calling BS on "some people"
