Remember J-UCAS? The navy took ownership of that and evolved it into a number of UAV programs compatible with the carriers.

Remember, you only found out the US equipped Hellfire missiles with swords that can assassinate a man in their home when they deployed it. So while you know they already have a refuelling drone and all the investments necessary to launch drones like that from carriers, don't expect to find out a strike platform is ready until it already struck something.

It's pretty much the same ambush pounce predator niche that cheetahs and antelopes occupy on the ground.

>Four men had entered into the reactor building at 10:38 pm and found the third man.  Legg was discovered last because he was pinned to the ceiling above the reactor by a shield plug and not easily recognizable.

I get the strong impression "pinned to the ceiling" is underselling how getting blasted into the ceiling by a nuclear reactor meltdown would reduce a man into a bag of hamburger.

>We still use them anyway, I don't get it.

It's essentially ritual behaviour and endures the same way. People believe it like they believe any other magic, and institutions exploit it for public approval like any other magic.

For both better and worse that was a characteristic part of his presidency in general. Carter was a micro manager that kept his eyes on a lot of details.

I think it's an important detail that this was perpetrated by groups of teenagers.

I have absolutely gone to school with the kind of kids that would spend that much time vandalizing that much property just because they felt like destroying something.

Petrel actually did ring a bell and now I'm realizing it's from the news about the USS Johnston wreck back in 2021.

>The attack was also captured on aerial footage by Ukrainian soldiers, who launched a unique rescue mission by attaching a piece of paper with the words “follow me” to a small drone – an operation which featured in a recent documentary by Ukrainian filmmaker Lyubomyr Levytsky.

That sounds like something out of a Portal game.

My guy actually did the thing I always imagine whenever I look at propeller planes and see a flying blender.

"So help me God we're gonna sell Sterling bonds until you lose your shirts if you don't pull your ass out of Egypt."

The best part is this can and does happen in large numbers, on the order of millions of spiders.

It's also truer to the dreadful speculation of the result of a cancer screening. It's either going to be okay or ruin your day.

I don't wanna learn I'm gonna die in six months from SHART.

It was some distance behind an anime character when another anime character swung a katana in their direction.

Swinging by the drug store

Makes it look like a snake eye.

Why do I have to live in the timeline where all the memes come true?

>Some visitors envision dinosaurs rumbling through these forests in bygone eras. It turns out that this is a perfectly natural thought.

Don't let me catch you having unnatural thoughts about dinosaurs.

That train got Flucked.

Google does charge for Google Maps, just not for the typical user that makes up the value they're charging for. If you want to use the API for anything down to embedding a map on your site up to a full featured application like GeoGuessr, you're paying on a per-request basis once you use up the complimentary quota.

Ads certainly aren't the only way services like Maps are monetized, although luring customers to businesses is still the typical use case to pay for it. The people using it for free are the product that Google then charges businesses to leverage. Once upon a time, much of this API was free, and it's there that Google installed the premiums in this case.

Sweden's NATO membership is going get a lot more interesting.

>Overall executive function (impulse control, organization, planning)

It's hard to parse how much of that is a consequence of long term bipolar disorder when they're also consequences of bipolar disorder in the short term and a consequence of aging in general.

An armored ball with legs is a pretty reliable design for a lifeform.

I still remember back in 2010 when people thought social media was going to turn out better than this.
