ah yes, the unstoppable future: fully automated scam pipeline

that town is just a bit north to border with chechenya, going in straight line from there to teheran overflies only russian, azeri and iranian airspace. the only nato member nearby is turkey, and you have to go out of the way to hit it. azeri-iranian relations are suboptimal, but even then they can go over caspian if they want to avoid it

map would explain it much better

dude, people join irl face to face cults, of course they do

We’re British

important point lol, 90s sucked in eastern block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cross_(demography)

also a couple of east asian countries like at minimum japan, south korea, taiwan were proper tinpot dictatorships until 90s

roughly tube with a very thick wall and spherical ending (it has to survive 100+ atm under high temperature and neutron irradiation - weakens everything over time)

as i understand, this is what bellingcat uses as a major source of data when reporting on russian activities

“It is one of the paradoxes of modern Russia: on the one hand, these services are illegal and rely on leaked data, yet on the other, they are far more convenient for day-to-day police work than the multitude of official departmental databases,”

gaben on piracy: “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,”

still up for me, but in any case https://web.archive.org/web/20251223055820/https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 8/EFTA00025010.pdf

is really every digital turd dished out by trump’s court newsworthy

There is a thermal energy storage included as s major part. This works because compressing CO2 to 55atm adiabatically heats it up to some 450-ish C, so that heat is pretty high grade, and only the final stage cools it down with heat exchanger open to air. In discharging direction, some heat is taken from outside air to evaporate part of CO2 and heat stored is used up

compressors, turbines (like steam turbines), piping, some of which heat-resistant (500C), container for liquid carbon dioxide, lots of plastic for the bubble, something for thermal storage, dry and clean carbon dioxide, these aren’t unusual or restricted resources, don’t depend on critical raw materials or anything like that

Compressed air without heat recovery is more like 30%, so this is huge

Carbon dioxide can be liquefied relatively easily which is what i guess makes this efficient

good call then, however if it’s so close to the plug i’d try to disassemble it and reattach plug to now slightly shorter cable (after taking photos noticing how cables are connected) (unless there are crimped, glued, mold-injected or otherwise irreversibly attached parts)

you can do that even with some crimped connectors, as long as you have spare or can make ersatz ferrula

either way, it’s january problem

i can only watch in disbelief

why didn’t you stagger the joints, if you make it so that no joint is in the same point in cable then it’s slimmer, more elastic and slightly less prone to failure

considering that you have there a bunch of coax cables in single wrap, you might have some problems with rf signal leakage between them if there are gaps in shield of these coax cables that line up

it also looks like there’s shield over entire cable, it would be a good thing to keep it continuous

if it’s some sensitive rf equipment, especially working at microwave frequencies, then keeping wire diameter and insulator thickness in these coax cables is important, which in practice means you should put there two coaxial plugs and a barrel connector between them. at which point it probably makes more sense to replace cable entirely

can you get methadone substitution therapy under these laws?

the death penalty for anything approach? yeah nah that would be war on drugs dialed to 11 and it sucked

You can find cables (and some other things but mostly cables) made by them in about every electronics store

at least he didn’t say he “fell on it” and it was totally an accident
