  1. Belgium plans to invoke NATO’s Article 4 following recent drone incidents Repeated drone overflights have raised serious concerns in Brussels, according to local media reports. Article 4 of the NATO Treaty provides for consultations among member states whenever a country feels its territorial integrity or security is threatened. Earlier, during a massive Russian drone attack on Ukraine on September 10, a Polish request to activate Article 4 followed after a “Shahed” drone entered its airspace.
  2. It's crazy that they've spent over 100,000 dead and wounded trying to get Pokrovsk, a city of 50-60,000, but as Schulz mentioned, it holds some strategic value, and Putin needs a psychological win. I'm wondering if Ukraine is looking at the impact of their eroding the transportation infrastructure and think if they hold out a little longer, it'll pay off.
  3. So the airplane equivalent of the Ship of Theseus? Because those things have been heavily rebuilt.
  4. Trashing somebody's code wheel.....that's grounds for
  5. I hope this is even slightly close to being accurate
  6. There's going to be some pretty serious divisions in Russia this winter when the rich are getting fuel for their generators and the poor are being told to burn their furniture to stay warm. Russia generally doesn't do so well when the poor are constantly getting turbo-fucked, and while Putin has done a good job of removing anybody the peasants can rally around, there comes a point where they won't need a central figure to spur them on, since they can spur each other on through social media.
  7. Kyiv: used to blackouts, equipped for blackouts Moscow:
  8. Supposedly off of I-35 tonight.
  9. And following a trail through the leaves with the camera on the drone and not wrecking the props on any of the bushes.
  10. And to this day, one of them does not understand why his house key doesn't fit the lock on his door.
  11. I have no clue what is going on there, but is this another battle where Ukraine is going to make Russia pay a massive price? It's costing Ukraine a lot, but we've seen it in the past where they decide the cost to Russia is far higher.
  12. As evidenced by multiple threads in DT (including the ChatGPT thread), as well as the "stupid shit we see on Facebook" threads in Lulz, it's far easier and cheaper (and safer to those doing it) to just run a bunch of fake ads/disinformation posts on social media than to rig an actual election. You will like this - I went to look up the context of Charlie Strong saying that "Social media is going to be the downfall of society" and I came across this which kind of proves my point: Shocking Tragedy: Beloved Former Texas Longhorns Coach Charlie Strong Fatally Shot in - AMA SPORTS ARENA There's going to be a number of people who think Charlie Strong was gunned down in Austin last year. And that Mack Brown succeeded him as head coach here.
  13. I mean, how many of us were scarred by this guy in the 80s
  14. I have the Falcon 4.0 big box as well. Falcon 4.0, one of the Wing Commanders, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, games that I waited on way past the original release dates and had to upgrade my computer for as I got them. I think Falcon 4.0 was supposed to come out in late 1995 or 1996 and it was, if I recall, released around 1999 (edit: I looked, 1998). I recently went through archive.org looking at old computer gaming magazines and kept coming across Falcon 4.0 stuff over the late 90s. BoomMF, I hope you know that there are updates still being released for it today (well July of this year) including graphics updates. Homepage - Falcon BMS Downloads - Falcon BMS
  15. U.S. Military in Latin America and the Caribbean – Airwars
  16. I wouldn't put it past a developer or two or three to try and still get it out of AISD's hands and into somebody's hands that will sell it to them. It's that way with all of the schools. The scary thing is if/when the state takes over, if enough parents bail for private schools or move to one of the nearby ISDs, there will be a lot more consolidation.
  17. I'm going to try and avoid twitter, but the video still plays on the page instead of being taken off somewhere else with Bluesky. Unfortunately a lot of the sources referenced are using twitter. I'll try to screenshot. It's fascinating as hell to me. I took a long break from following it closely because I was busy with other stuff, but watching Red Dawn with my kid recently (and Rocky IV and World War III with Rock Hudson) got me back into, as he was dumbfounded over how they went from their portrayals in the 1980s to now.
  18. Having watched videos from several different meetings with different schools between parents and AISD/board members, there was always a whole lot that seemed way off with the whole process. Seeing the same person tell two different schools the same thing when one school was turbo-fucked and the other merely fucked, even though that person already knew the plan was crazy given that it's 2025 and parents are in constant contact with one another both within their own schools and with parents from other schools. Parents were going to talk to parents from other schools. I was pretty fucking pissed to find on Friday that my son would have to leave his middle school for another middle school and a completely different high school, even though we had been promised that the verticals wouldn't change. This whole thing has been so fucking crazy. I don't know whether the people who were doing all of this were incompetent or were lying through their teeth for some reason.
  19. BNO is out of Europe and has been around for a long time - they are legit.
