yeah, certain arms and calibers are restricted for military use only by the Mexican government.

For anyone wanting that headline explained:

The Lake City plant is owned by the US gov, but run under contract by various companies over the years. The company that runs it is contractually obligated to maintain the capability to make something like a billion rounds a year for the US gov, and they do that by selling what the government doesn’t need to the public. (Most of what they make is sold commercially).

So although true, the story boils down to “cartels bought publicly available ammo in the US and smuggled it into Mexico” where I believe that ammunition is restricted to military use.

It’s not you. In this episode, Picard blue himself.

I had to look that up, but thanks for teaching me something today!

I’m sure he’ll 5-head chess this into a “Aha! I meant to do that, because now we don’t have to talk about it anymore and we can concentrate on the important stuff!” speech immediately followed by caving to literally the first R demand.

That jokes dark enough to get shot for wearing a hoodie.

I wonder if the donors mindtrick themselves into being grateful for the warning.

Exactly, he’s not an asshole, he’s an engineer, which is like a superset of asshole.

I was thinking beer and marmite, like is this some obscure Australian band I don’t know about?

More wind turbines, less oil rigs on the horizon please.

Fakts.

It never occured to me that the Central Intelligence Agency would ever share any of it with public. Interesting!

The “seen by project managers” row is so accurate it hurts. It needs to be updated with a caption that reads “chatGPT please tell me how to replace this person with a subscription”.

Like an 8GB local LLM? Surely that’s what you mean. 100watts an hour sure beats $20 a night.

That certainly agrees with what I know, this is interesting though

You sent me down a rabbit hole wondering if AC batteries are a thing, and apparently they are! I’m still not sure if any of the sources I found are scams, but they seem to be physically plausible. Interesting!

is it objectively terrible if it was designed to be so. My philosiraptor might be having a stroke.

(I assumed you meant UHF)

While I’m sure they appreciate it, that’s a terrible way to retain good employees.

Is this why they’re on six now? that’s rough.
