Linguistically speaking UAVs seem closer to manned aircraft, so the fact that TV guided missiles and 'kamikaze' drones offer similar capabilities is more of a 'convergent evolution' thing.

One of the things that I think make them different is that UAVs are expected to be able to wait in the area of operations after being launched (how they do it? It differs between models).

But I agree that using the word Kamikaze specifically is a bit weird.

The most common version of naming would be loitering munition.

I agree, but would reword it to "self determination on a state scale is the only moral view". And in most Eastern European cases that seems to be very much pro-US and pro-NATO. After all it is not like anyone is forced to join.

MacOS has terrible window management by default. Having one window with multiple panes helps a lot.

You could use screen or tmux of course, but they have a more steep learning curve.

I wouldn't be surprised if the pain was a necessary part of the treatment to trigger a full immunity response. But I'm am not a doctor.

I would be extremely surprised if pain was part of it, and think it best to try it without pain on the first go at the very least because "fuck unnecessary pain"

As another Pole I have to agree. Using anything but ASCII is setting up yourself to have to deal with this kind of issues at some point. JB might or might not fix it in the future, but besides them there are still going to be tens of different pieces of software that still fail to do so.

It did happen when migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8. At least in terms of boot times, I'm unsure about general performance.

Same experience here. On a little netbook, Windows 8 had a small but noticeable performance boost over Windows 7.

windows 8 lasted about a week for me, then was the prompt that i took to toss it all away and swig deeply of the gnu koolaid.

i still have one w7 system to work with older machines, but its no more interesting than a screwdriver.

I was confused for a moment as the Live Multicam sounds very similar to Crye's camouflage called... Multicam. And in my minds eye I saw the camo being applied to people on Videos as some form of post processing, which sounds absolutely useless.

That was very well written, rarely a text can grip and wrench my heart so much, but this one did it easily.

My experience with "adventuring" and NDE are less dramatic. Once we went out on a winter hike across the mountains with friends, but we underestimated how much effort crossing in the snow would be - or overestimated our capabilities. We ended up going down to the valley, where we knew was a village instead of trying to reach the other peak with lodgings. When taking a shower by the end of the day I realized how cold I really was and that if we hadn't reached proper shelter and instead improvised one, we would have likely frozen to death. Luckily one of us insisted on carrying on even though we were exhausted and wet from the waist down by the end of it. I keep going back to this experience in my mind once in a while to marvel on how close we were to some sort of tragedy (either death or permanent injury due to frostbite).

I don't think that would be a good idea. It would introduce an admin burden on the schools related to moderating/monitoring the sites. And they would more than likely overstep in one way or another, when enforcing their rules.

I was thinking state-administered. Public school enrollment would just be the precondition to access the program.

But sure, yeah, there'd be some admin time spent managing it. As with anything, there are plenty of reasons not to do it. It struck me as a low cost-to-impact ratio thing that could get kids into tech, but reasonable minds could disagree.

The only way it would work is if it was literally handled by the government, and the associated 1st amendment rules applied (so it wouldn't be moderated unless it was actually shut down by a court case).

It would result in rampant wildness and people complaining, but if you didn't do it that way the burden would be too high.

Albums, especially concept albums, are something that I really appreciate. My current (digital) playlists consists of various albums scheduled to play in random order (albums are shuffled, not the tracks themselves), which makes it random enough but still allows me to enjoy the album on it's own.

Talking about concept albums, have you listened to Queen of the Murder Scene by The Warning?
