@pointysticksncoffee I honestly think this is just a question of how much money someone is prepared to invest, and under what conditions you need the number. You might be able to get something working for a few 100€ and a some fiddling.

@Tendar This assumes one interceptor per incoming missile. In one of the videos of a strike on a US base we see them fire off two initially, then a third after the first failed. While some will definitely have been used on low cost targets, the maths are not as clear cut as to exactly how many

@noelreports In other words, he has no plan, because if they were following a plan they wouldn't have killed them.

@noelreports Spinless Merz can't help but lick the arsehole of fascists. When this goes south he'll be busy trying to wash his hands off it

@Tendar We were told that the strikes 6 months ago destroyed all the nuclear processing sites and it had set their efforts back years. It turns out they were either lying then or lying now, and when regime change fails, we can repeat this process in 6 months again.

@sundogplanets @ChristineMalec Same thing happened to me when moving from the southern hemisphere to the northern one. Took me about a year to get used to it. The worst part was the second guessing when I intuitively chose the right direction, but because my intuition was wrong so often, I switched to the wrong one.

@quixoticgeek I didn't look into what the original impetus was for the post, but rather just what was in this post. Given that context I still think everyone should wear a helmet, but again the government should focus on structural changes rather than passing another law.

@WarnerCrocker No experience in biology or knowledge of the local area, but my guess would be a lizard or similar reptile running on it's hind legs. They certainly are fascinating tracks.

@quixoticgeek I would rather the government focus on making everything else safer and more comfortable for bike riders, than trying to repeal laws which would inevitably be re instated once cycling has no viable alternative.

@quixoticgeek I've yet to have a conversation with a paramedic who thinks you're better off not wearing a helmet. I commute by bike, have had my share of minor and major accidents. The only reason I'm not in hospital regularly and have a potato for a brain is because of my helmet.
