The very premise of this existing is an incomprehensibly stupid idea. Like I guess maybe if footsoldiers need to make decisions above their paygrade, and can’t reach an expert? But why the fuck would a given person have the capacity to fire this range of missiles and not the competency to say which ones are the correct choice, and whether it’s being approached the right way.

Its just a fucking dumb idea, from the very outset 😅

That is a very reasonable and well articulated point

MAN that thing looks cool as hell

This exact scenario is why warcrimes have to have meaningful punishment. As soon as one side ignores them and there aren’t consequences, this is where you find youself :/

Edit: I guess there are sanctions, but clearly that’s not enough.

If there’s a way for that to happen without just building equality abusive and exploitative mega corporations of similarly monopolistic scale, that seems like a very good thing.

Though I honestly kinda worry the only way to really compete with the US would be for Europe to make choices that are similarly shitty as all the ones we’ve made here in the states :/

The pixelfed app is in beta, but you can use it. In my experience it’s pretty unstable right now

Edit: figured I should mention, I just use pixeldroid right now which is less unstable https://f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/

Thats genuinely amazing. The OSM community doesn’t care if what you built is dumb, they just care if it’s on the map

Props to them

Why in the everliving fuck is that a thing anyone needed? Just go to a gun store and show your ID if needed for fucks sake

We don’t need a new way to buy bullets, we certainly don’t need a vending machine for them, and if we’re getting one anyway it certainly doesn’t need AI, who the fuck dreamt this up and thought it was a good idea??

Ahhh, that makes sense. Those are super neat, thank you for sharing!

Lol, I didn’t even notice that, yeah that’s a missed opportunity

Man, if Lemmy had enough users to sustain niche communities, an edc space dedicated to accessibility devices and other items that help people live life would be fucking awesome

What does OT jewelry mean in this context?

Lmao, I love your tread on me patch, and that knife is super nifty!

This looks like a lovely and super practical carry, thanks for sharing it!

Its always really interesting to get a glimpse into the world of someone who has to deal with very different things than yourself- the jar for needles seems like an excellent way to dispose of them!

I’ve thought about carrying a lighter just for other folks but I’m not sure enough people in the spaces I inhabit smoke enough I’d ever be able to offer it to folks. Though I don’t get our much anyway, so that doesn’t really help either 😅

Those are my quarters for getting a shopping cart at Aldi 😅

But I appreciate you putting good information out there for folks!
