If we no longer innovate then at least learn from other cultures! The Japanese are showing us the way. Why aren't we listening? There are tons of other examples too. If our govt is in the way via regulation then we need to move the bastards OUT the way!The Japanese build fire defense systems into their properties. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/GivkLLkseJ

If someone pulls a gun, particularly a handgun, and you're not going to fight then I'd highly recommend fleeing post haste. Distance is your friend.

The title is the question.
Is it different?
I know the perception around my way is. The view is that the US govt didn't help the "country folk" while they're ready to help the rich in California. I personally don't know real from memorex on this.
What I do know is that the reaction to the disasters from the public is different and I'd like to know why.
I blame the humidity for making the cold down here feeling worse at 30 than it does in the upper US. Cold and damp all the time sucks. Thank God for central heating! Oh and since we seem to have a cold weather train developing it might be time to get ready for those periodic ice storms by buying that stand by generator I've been talking about for years.I clapped. pic.twitter.com/IcIT79fEHG

An American Marine going hand to hand with his Chinese counterpart should be interesting. The Corps I knew kinda emphasized physical power and endurance. The nations dotting the Pacific emphasize dexterity, flexibility and quickness (along with endurance). In a real fight it will come down to the mental strength of the combatants along with skill, strength, endurance, etc....I thought that shit only worked in films pic.twitter.com/ZJxlWGsSfa

Traffic control informed a Jet Blue commercial pilot that six F-35 military jets were about to pass him.

The Jet Blue pilot’s response was hilarious.

Self-driving truck on Chinese highwayThis infuriates me so much. How many of you remember the USMC initiative to get self driving vehicles and how they partnered with Oshkosh to come out with an unmanned MTVR?

Looks like the VBM is a SuperAV dedicated to land combat only. I treally thought the Freccia (don't quite know the designation but the beast that is totally classed as a mobile gun system or modern day tank destroyer) was gonna be the basis of their next APC/IFV. Obviously something happened and they're going this way instead. I knda like it.So it seems the VBM Freccia plus won’t just be an upgraded Freccia, but something completely new. The turret is a type of “Hitfist”, so it could very well end up being the UL shown before. My honest guess, this will be something based on either the SuperAV Land or Centauro II. https://t.co/dx9GVhlRwh pic.twitter.com/HayOaUXNlc

Taiwanese F-CK-1 conducting combat training drills, 2025. [Album]I always wondered why someone didn't enter into a development agreement with Lockheed and build a two engine F-16 with bigger wings, heavier payload and supercruise. I'm thinking this Taiwanese example is the best old skool attempt while the new build Turkish build is the best new skool win.

Before and after of Pacific Palisades. Took decades to build and hours to eraseWhat is going on with California?

Just a quick question.
Why the rush to the 30mm and bigger when the 25mm has shown to be effective against the side armor of tanks, capable of destroying tank optics and other bits from the front and totally capable of handling IFVs operated by threat forces?
You have more stowed kills with the 25mm. If you have good gunnery coupled with modern optics then you can basically sniper the hell out of enemy infantry at distance and close up too with the added benefit of having a metric shit ton in storage at the moment?
Broadly speaking is this a move that makes sense or is it just the latest trend that everyone is following.
We're already moving to "light" tanks so let them or MBTs do tank shit. Let our IFVs specialize on their primary mission and leave the shock and awe to the big guns without bastardizing the class.
