the man made all of his money through debt maxing and then defaulting, dude is a conman, nothing else to it.

That and the apprentice, those are the only way he has ever gotten money.

nothing motivates more than disproving stupid things people say lol.

That’s the internet and the broader scientific community at large for you.

ah, bummer.

Coldplay is in it also? Man no wonder why the last season was so bad.

he was in game of thrones? When? Can we blame the downfall on him now? lol.

F in chat for ed sheeran, and ugly ugly man, who made not very good music, but was loved by, some people.

Since the start of the conflict it looks like we’ve given ukraine more than $100b in funding. (not all of it is direct) (since 2022)

Israel has received $300b, which is more, but only 3x more, and this is since 1946, the literal founding of israel. Covering spending for the last two fiscal years, it seems to only be about $20b since the october 7th attack, though that’s a pretty rough figure.

in fact if we average these figures, $100b over 2 years is $50b a year, where as if we average the $300b over 78 years it’s only about $3.8b a year. Though in the most recent funding package we have given israel $12b or so in marked funding, which is considerably higher. Still not $50b though.

The machine is only loud when it is actively scanning a patient which it doesn’t seem like was happening in this case. Otherwise it’s relatively silent.

yeah well i’m assuming that if the gun was “sucked into the machine” from the hands of the police officer, that it would have probably been relatively violent. Generally magnets aren’t very polite.

Also the big button is (in my experience at multiple hospitals) always in a different room behind a box that you have to open.

yeah i would have to know the floor layout of the specific place in order to make that judgement tbh. That was just my first insight on that one though. There’s a non zero chance he saw it walking in, police are generally pretty observant, and these buttons aren’t exactly well hidden either to my knowledge so.

ugly people aren’t allowed to make music anymore?

well fuck me then.

it most certainly drew a lot of energy while the gun was inside of it lol

you mean to tell me someone who isn’t an MRI tech doesn’t know how to operate an MRI?

That’s weird.

MRIs are entirely electrical right? They just use liquid helium for cooling im pretty sure.

Obviously there are a bunch of mechanical parts as well, that goes without saying i think though. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell you the difference between mechanical logic and solid state logic anyway.

well i mean to be fair, if a rifle is ripped out of your hands, and into an MRI machine (which is going to be very loud) and you have no idea on how dangerous/bad for the machine it is. You’re going to hit the (probably) very big and very red button marked “E-STOP”

in fact the operator probably doesn’t even care about this, they probably only care about the raid itself lmao. The damage is just a function of the raid.

yeah, that’s mostly dependent on US aid going to ukraine though. Ukraine isn’t going to take the easy path out of this one.

if not now as soon as his phone explodes lol

If ukraine is an ally, i understand that to be fairly recent, prior to zelenskyy the president of Ukraine was a russian plant. I believe he was voted in about 2014 or so.

NATO is primarily an alliance between members of the alliance, of which ukraine is not a member. Protecting members outside of NATO is not really inside the purview of NATO as an organization, although protecting border states is politically advantageous.

anyway, i tried looking for some data and didn’t have much luck, but even thinking about it from a strategic position it wouldn’t make sense to loan shark ukraine here. Worst case scenario they collapse after winning due to the loans, and then russia takes over, or they collapse during the war, and we have to deal with getting that money back, because it’s marked as a loan, which wouldn’t really make any sense.

I think the idea is relatively simple, it provides a way for ukraine to borrow money, assuming they win it provides them a way to pay it back or default on it, and that allows ukraine to stay relatively neutral. Just giving free money to ukraine is probably less than ideal.

From the research i did do, i couldn’t find anything talking about how it would be problematic, it was mostly talking about numbers which makes sense, so i guess that checks out, but i would’ve been surprised if nobody had reported on that either.

it’s his complete dox essentially. Unsure if that phone # is his personal or a work, but if its his personal i could see that being pretty annoying, having your personal/work phone being completely overwhelmed by like 20 million people on the internet would be something.

I can see why it’s a concern, but i’ve seen far worse on twitter, so i can’t really care.

i mean, that’s one solution i guess.

it also has his phone #, address, half of his SSN, and email as well as some other PII that probably shouldn’t be out there, but oh well.

stolen document, not publicly released, they hacked whatever had this document, stole it, therefore it’s not a hacked document.

Also PDFs can be cheesed to run code, so that is also a possibility, though i doubt it.

that’s the general strat, but nothing competes with real world testing fortunately for us, having tested thousands of nukes over the years.
