i thought that RG-42 was smooth inside, and i still think that RGD-5 is

anyway, these are still not pre-formed fragments, because some of these grooves will not cause fragments to separate

it’s not that different from any other weapon that throws around fragments, just that PFF covers highest area or whatever metric you choose per kilogram of weapon. this works only if you don’t care too hard about cost and can ignore some engineering constraints (such as acceleration survivable by weapon etc)

e: you can see in that video at 5:50 how a few of these squared remained unseparated as a single fragment

RG-42 is a ww2 era design that relies on natural fragmentation. it has no PFF, it has rolled steel sheet fragmentation liner with no indentations or anything that would aid in separation of fragments. that thing has pre-cut steel cubes, Spike uses tungsten cubes, steel balls or cylinders (soviet designs) are often used too. natural fragmentation results in wide range of fragment sizes, with either too small (and braking on air, causing no significan injury) or too big (produced in small number and missing intended fragment). RG-42 and to lesser degree RGD-5 fragments are just pieces of steel sheet, so few tens of meters away it’s just angry glitter, because it brakes on air rapidly due to nonaerodynamic shape

M329 is advertised as MP, but it lacks forward shaped charge so it’s not, because it is not suited to destroy anything with more than ornamental armour, by design. instead, it’s just a lot of pre-formed fragmentation in a cylindrical box. by itself, standard feature of modern weapons, but overall it’s not a weapon designed to fight a peer adversary

“The issue comes with how these small munitions are being employed,” said Ball. “Even a relatively small munition employed in a crowded space, especially a space with little to no protection against fragmentation, such as a refugee camp with tents, can lead to significant deaths and injuries.”

this is the warcrimey part, i thought that it goes without saying

this is hideously expensive, in poland there’s a package that gets you unlimited data in a month (mosly at lte speeds) after you spend more than 30zł in given month (a bit over 7€/mo)

did chatgpt wrote that for you

yeah we know, there were also gps jammers in baltyisk

americans know most of it or all of it, because they have listening base almost on russian border

is engagement-driven content scoring harmful to everyone with a pulse? does pope shit in the woods? click here to find how

okay but you end up paying more - if it was just normal data plan and cost of phone it would be even, but there’s also something paid to middleman that provides something that is effectively credit and extortion services like simlock and some legal thingies, it might have smaller downpayment but it’s not this, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

this is on top of various security and privacy implications of using a phone which you can’t legally reflash

is that some american problem i’m too euro to understand? we got rid of this anticompetitive shit in early 10s

nsa plz make a stuxnet

already approved

Lenacapavir was approved for medical use in the European Union in August 2022,[10][12] in Canada in November 2022,[5][6] and in the United States in December 2022.[11][13][14] It is the first of a class of drugs called capsid inhibitors to be FDA-approved for treating HIV/AIDS.[11][15]

for treatment dosage price is 42k/year but presumably preventive dose is smaller

what are you talking about, number stations have very explicit military intelligence purpose, that’s not some lightweight trolling

No and it’s not that crazy surprising either. We know that these things can form in prebiotic atmosphere under influence of things like UV and specific rocks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment

now it’s just confirmation that these things can be found not only on planets but also on meteorites

from everything i’ve learned about chemical waste management and recycling, no it won’t remain contained

also does it contain lead? i bet it does, but there are no details at all

small samples can achieve ridiculous efficiencies. @ me when they 1. can scale this thing to entire panel, and 2. lasts longer than it takes to get it out of lab. silicon can pull 22% and more, scales reliably and lasts longer. also, it’s a bunch of marketing fluff, linked to other marketing fluff. if there’s anything real, you could just post DOI

it doesn’t even sound good, it sounds like delusional BRICS fan wet dream lol

trump is touting bitcoin because a cryptobro got close to him and or because he wants to grab that cultist libertarian vote
