Last post by Razgovory - Today at 09:54:17 PMI can't wait till we hand this over to AI. Thousands of drones attacking at once with minimal human intervention. Then someone like Sam Altman can wipe out most of the US government in a day.

Last post by grumbler - Today at 08:13:49 PMCost per pound of explosives, a gun is cheaper than a drone. One 155 HE shell delivers a ~50 kg shell with ~7 kg of explosive. A Shahed-3 delivers a ~25kg warhead with about ~10kg filler. The shell costs ~$5,000 and the drone ~$20,000.
The drone has better range, of course, but a mch lower "rate of fire."
Tactical FPV drones deliver tiny warheads very accurately and cost in the low thousands of dollars. But $$/kg of HE is very high.

I suppose. On the other hand you can't shoot down artillery shells.

Last post by Razgovory - Today at 07:29:14 PMQuote from: The Minsky Moment on Today at 07:13:41 PMTucker Carlson is not an evangelical; he's a yuppie Republican that turned to the Pat Buchanan wing. Candace Owen is a full-fledged conspiricist, she recently converted to Catholicism (?) Doesn't seem much religious content to her "thought". MTG has a New Agey background, she poses as Christian to get elected in Georgia.
That said Raz, I basically agree with you on the broader point. GOP now split between the philo and antisemites and the latter are gaining ground fast.
You don't have to evangelical to be part of the Christian Right. Most of them only have most basic concept of Christianity in the first place. I doubt many are particularly orthodox in their beliefs. But they are Christian Nationalists. They are not so much united by what they belief in, but what they exclude. Muslims, Hindus, less-white Catholics, and Jews...
We are seeing a seismic shift going on right under our feet. I thought thing were bad under Bush and the Iraq war. What's happening now is so much worse. But Palestine is gaining allies... We are Molotov-Ribbentroping our way to a Free Palestine.

Last post by Razgovory - Today at 06:45:38 PMI'm wondering about cost per pound of explosive. Speed is probably a factor as well, it seems like a battery of guns of could drop explosives much faster than some drones. An 155mm gun can fire about 2 rounds a minute for an extended period of time. So that's about 30-40 pounds of boom per minute for one gun.
