This protest looks about par for the course. You have: 

A. Young, female, obese, “progressive” far left winger with colored hair. 

B. Old, female, probably man hating, far left spinster. 

C. Your pasty beta male trying to look “progressive” in the hopes he will get laid. 

D. And finally, a random minority so the rest of the shithead protesters can say their protest is “diverse”, or something equally retarded. 

Anyway, that mining operation sounds pretty normal: you gotta put the waste product somewhere, no matter what you’re mining, and since copper is in pretty high demand, I think this would be a good operation, so long as the toxic stuff stays where it’s suppose to. 

Sorta off topic, but the “reports of the US naval technical mission to Japan” in the “Naval technology links” is not working for me (URL not found).

I have been quietly lurking on this forum since MP.Net went down and this is an outrage!

No anime avatars, is nothing sacred.

Also I have decided to join the forum and continue to lurk in near absolute quiet but with some comments…. sometimes.

Also also looser, I can never see any of your posted pictures even when changing proxies.

If you’ve been lurking for any appreciable amount of time, you would have probably seen anti-animoo stuff by now, also anti-hippie and anti-wehrboo; these are all high heresy, and punishable by 100 floggings. 

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

A couple thermobaric (fuel-air) rockets can cover a fairly wide area relative to a line charge, are very cheap and easy to make, and can be carried in large numbers on a single vehicle.

 

And I'm not sure about the following one but I believe they can exert substantially more downwards pressure to defeat AT mines. Will have to check this one.

The overpressure on FAE is very significant, over a bigger area than a MICLIC for sure.

 

So what’s the point of using line charges? Lighter weight?

What would be the advantage of the fuel-air ordinance over the line charges (as seen on the M1150)?

It would have been terrific but it prevented the use of ACR stocks, which is what I was going for. The ACR stocks were too fat.

Could you have done away with the ACR stock and used a slimmer design? Or was the ACR stock mandatory? 

I feel like this is in response to the shitstorm that was the PLA thread last week. 

Anyway, a welcome change; CLEANSE US WITH RIGHTEOUS FIRE, OH PROPHET!

T-28 turret reused as a mobile pillbox

Is there a difference between the T-28, T-35, and T-26 (early) machinegun turrets? 

Give it a rest Jeeps, Squarehead is just suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, it’s not his fault  

but in seriousness, your government does seem to be taking away rights faster than most communist governments, as proven via ridiculously strict “sharp object” bans and “hate speech” laws. From my perspective, it looks pretty suspicious, as I take pride in being able to say “HAIL SATAN AND HIS PLAY TOY: HITLER!” without fearing that the bobbies are gonna drag me away because some single, childless, 40 something spinster doesn’t understand what irony is. 

Can anyone teach me how to write scripts, like for movies, or can anyone refer me to a website about script writing? 

Are the T-14/15s only driven in the Moscow victory parade?

Sorry, but this protection isn't really special armor. The modules are designed and made by KMW, but they are hollow and meant to be filled with Schüttgut (bulk material like sand or gravel). The corrugated exterior shape is the result of KMW trying to keep the steel shell as light-weight as possible, while providing enough structural strength to support the weight of the Schüttgut. KMW did not patent any sort of filling material and the design is optimized for low costs, so it seems to be just a fancy kind of modern sandbag armor (unless KMW buys filling material such as SAAB's soft armor from other companies).

Wouldn’t blocks of NERA or ERA be more effective (protection and weight wise) against fragments and ieds than a “metal sand bag”? I don’t believe either are very expensive, if cost is the issue, so why would they choose this armor over others? 

Is that a 105 or 120mm gun? 

Also, you have peaked my interest; is there a name or more info, preferably in English?

Have there been tests using APS to protect against guided bombs and other aerial munitions, or is it just assumed the APS can handle it if it can defeat top-down ATGMs? 

So, I was browsing the forum this evening, and I noticed there wasn't a thread dedicated to psychology! It's a pretty interesting field of study, if not being difficult to study (cause humans are weird) and mired in controversy (thanks, Stanford University). But in also being a very interesting discipline, it's also pretty friggin important to keep track of your mental health. I'm posting below part of a convo from the gun control thread, where we talked about depression (and suicide). Sorry to start off so morbid, but that is the only psychological discussion I know of on here; hopefully someone else knows of some studies about other psychological tendencies of humans, preferably not so macabre.

Suicide is most certainly a mental health issue, with depression being a very common factor in it, but that is simply a precursor. The tipping point is essentially the feeling of being backed into a corner with only one way out. If there are other ways to get away from what is causing your problems, most people with take them. It's only when they feel that all other solutions are exhausted that they decide to rage quit, and who can blame them?

 

But this is just an anecdotal example from my own experience, it most certainly varies from person to person and their own circumstances.

Quote

So part of the discussion around suicide has to do with the fact that a lot of them (around 90%, by some estimates) are by people who will be perfectly fine a few years later.

 

The second issue is that it's now known that in a lot of cases the point of being suicidal is less like a state of being and more like a mental valley you pass through. So there have been studies that show that delays of a few minutes can prevent a lot of suicides.

 

Taken together, there is now a strong case that doing anything to materially delay a suicide attempt results in you saving productive, healthy lives. So the fine distinctions start to become important.

Full disclosure; I had a suicidal person in the family this year, and it conformed to the backed-into-a-corner hypothesis. It also ended with a proper attempt that was foiled by delay, and the person has since recovered and is back to normal.

Quote

Full disclosure; I've been dealing with suicidal depression for 16 years now. I've got a decent handle on it by now, and I can confirm that it is a mental valley that you have to get to the other side of. Once you know and understand that, it is much easier to recognize those cycles and see yourself to the other side (no, not that other side). It's nice to see other people confirm the backed into a corner hypothesis.

and before I forget, I'm putting this in open discussion as I don't think it goes in the bioscience subforum, but I could be completely wrong.

Lol we should spam the steel beasts forum with doc with "SECRET " added just to fuck with this idiot. 

 

Imagine being the guy up the chain of command the moron reports too.

That ‘below the turret ring’ link I posted has several (7, I counted) pictures explicitly labeled ‘secret’, and a couple leaked Chinese armor arrays for good measure  

Look, @Laviduce, that is for THAT forum, not THIS forum. Whatever rules SteelBeasts has are not the rules for Sturgeons House, or War Thunder, or wherever. If that forum says no, then it’s their problem, and only their problem.
