Advocating a strong response to Russia lets him act out his Churchill fantasy, so he has a motivation to be less of a shitebag for a moment

Maybe in the sense that there’d be less competition for the relatively rare materials needed for EV batteries?

Ukrainian military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko commented that he believes the Volnorez system’s capability to be overstated, describing it as practically useless. He argues that it has been deployed on the battlefield for a year without significantly impacting on the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s (AFU) kamikaze drone attacks.

I know nothing about this guy’s credentials, but this was my first thought. I have seen so many tanks getting destroyed by drones. Are these systems not getting deployed or do they not work?

With all due respect this is literally just a guy saying that he’s personally better at reading analogue clocks than digital ones for 18 minutes

It’s just a number equally as much as it’s just the angle of the two sticks in a circle. Analogue clocks don’t give a special insight into the nature of time

To be honest, even if it were completely true… okay? If analogue clocks are on the way out then there’s no particular need for anyone to be able to read them any more. I like them a lot visually and have a couple in my home, but there’s nothing so special about them that people would be missing out by using digital clocks instead

It’s essentially where reddit’s old Chapo Trap House community went after reddit banned them in 2020. It started federating with the rest of the fediverse some time last year, but there was a bit of a culture clash between it and some other larger instances and several of them defederated it
