Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you sent a lone modern tank like a Abrams, Leopard, or black panther back to WW2 with a continuous supply of spare parts, ammo, fuel etc. Would it make a difference?
10·16 hours agoThat would still be a huge advantage over any other machine of war in the history of warfare, even today.
You could say “how much difference would a single modern tank with unlimited ammo, fuel, and share parts make in Afghanistan in 2010” and the answer would be at least “very significant”

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth?
32·7 days agoIt’s about being outside of any company’s jurisdiction. Same thing for the floating datacenters at sea. Can’t tax it and regulate it if it’s not in any legal country.
It wasn’t renewed… How can that be a bad renewal?
Are you saying they shouldn’t have made season 2? Or they should have made season 3?
I agree 1 was meh and 2 was decent. 3 had potential.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the weirdest thing in english?
21·1 month ago100% this. No one is ever taught it as a rule in school. You’re never tested over it. But all native English speakers intuitively know it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would a sudden, permanent global internet blackout cause immediate societal collapse?
1·1 month agoTo the point of ‘how the Internet blacked out’ - a lot of what you think of as ‘phone’ today actually goes via IP over data, not analog voice. It would mean we all have to turn back on our land lines, which would take ages and a lot of business and logistics would be pretty rough for a while. Those few places with working phones would have lines of people waiting to use them until it was restored more widely.

politics @lemmy.world•Tucker Carlson brands Republicans ‘treasonous’ as he quits the party
25·1 month agoI appreciate your generosity, and I want to share it. I’m open to the possibility.
I think it’s far more likely that just as he was on the forefront of the insane right wing unltra-conservative movement when he was on CNN, I think he’s looking a few steps down the road and knows that Trump’s time is coming to an end - either through term limits and/or death from old age and poor health. And possibly effectively sooner if the mid-terms go poorly. So that there’s about to be a massive power vacuum on the right. He’s distancing himself from what is about to be a collapse of the party. He knows it’ll take a couple of years to build up a viable alternative to Trump’s party, so he’s starting those wheels.
Rats from the sinking ship and all that.

Maybe? I’m not sure, to be honest. I took this on approach a long time ago and didn’t get around to processing them for a while.

There’s this one, and I posted it there too https://piefed.social/c/inhabitedbeauty
Interestingly, it got more upvotes in the “evil buildings” group than the “inhabited beauty” group, so send like that’s the popular consensus 😁
There are also a few architecture groups if you look around. I pay to a few of them regularly, too














It’s the 2012 Sea Lion Amphibious Prototype car. A 1-of-a-kind hand built car designed to break land and water speed records for amphibious cars.
