As far as I can tell by trying to brute force my way through that god-awfully formatted second link, different creators of different archive sites are beefing. Accusations of doxxing / the usual mishmash of online rivalry.

Didn’t we just see articles last week that Meta is drastically downsizing their VR r+d to focus on AI? That alone will mean that they spend less money next year on VR.

No medal, no citizenship.

Ah yes. Using your country’s immigration police in a location where it is physically impossible to enter your country. Truly 4D checkers.

RAM is one of those great band names that you can’t believe someone hasn’t snapped up before now.

Theoretically, a single operator controlled swarm could be used to all strike a hardened target at once, rather the current tactic we see in Ukraine of multiple drones which all have a dedicated operator being tied up striking an armored vehicle or hardened emplacement.

The ability to have one operator in control of the ability to strike a heavy target would come in mighty handy if you…say…have to eliminate a lot of prepared coastal defenses on an independence-minded island nation.

Not that I think drone swarms are particularly far-fetched in the realm of unmanned systems, but haven’t we learned by now to not just automatically believe whatever military tech China “announces” on state television?

Since at least 2024, China has been publicly trying to crack down on rampant corruption in its weapons procurement and R+D sectors, a lot of it connected to vaporware fake military tech.

Unless he’s fleeing DC a couple steps ahead of a mob with torches and pitchforks, he ain’t worried enough.

Raytheon sells the Silent Guardian directly to law enforcement. ICE is the most well funded paramilitary law enforcement agency in the country.

I’d be shocked if they don’t have a bunch of them.

Don’t forget to construct additional pylons.

I absolutely believe it. The US has been working on directed energy crowd control tech since at least the early 2000s. There are tons of videos online of prototypes.

If anyone’s ever going to be able to crack the secret to widespread adoption of VR, I think it’ll be Valve.

I see what you did there.

Beyblade

Over $100 billion in research and investment just to go “Nah, nevermind.”

Yup. You definitely have no idea how treaties or international relations work.

I get that it’s scary that the US is doing it, but this is far from the first time world leaders have blustered about wanting territory that wasn’t theirs.

The international community didn’t support preemptive action even when 50,000 troops were massed on Ukrainian borders, they’re not going to do it when a single US combat asset hasn’t moved towards Greenland yet, and not a single policy decision has been enacted.

Edit- don’t get me wrong, if we start blockading Greenland, massing naval and amphibious forces, or building up ground units on the base in Greenland, then absolutely bomb the shit out of them, but the international community will never support action before that. It’s ludicrous to think they would.

…because the last window of opportunity for anticipatory self-defense has been repeatedly ruled by the international community to not extend that far?

Troops massing at borders is precisely the situation that the last window of opportunity is referring to.

I’m starting to think you don’t actually know the statutes involved or their previous legal cases, because if you did you’d know your “argument” is completely worthless.

It’s not like he was hiding it. When he was arrested, all you needed to do was look up his Facebook, and there were members of his bone collectors group freaking out all over the place that bones they bought from him might be illegally sourced.

Dude seriously thought doing it in a private FB group actually meant private.

STOP PRETENDING TO BE A RANDOM USER IN ORDER TO SELL THINGS

I think this might be the most insulting trend in current advertising. You’re not fooling anyone. Just stop.

Once again, the sucking void that is Joe Rogan’s brain finally catches up with what everyone else already knows.
