asciilifeform: iirc they were sabot anyway

asciilifeform: (somehow it keeps coming back..)

asciilifeform: !~google hochdruckpumpe

asciilifeform: wtf does 'stationary' mean in orbit.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if this is so, how do the ships even get to the 'battlefield' without having been perforated by rubbish ?

asciilifeform: relatedly, i just picked up a b00k on coriolis force, and it has... basic programs in every chapter, as example. such nostalgic.

asciilifeform: (picture a 1-3 tonne frag.)

asciilifeform: see also uncle al's 'orbital scrubber'.

asciilifeform: thousands of'em.

asciilifeform: think.

asciilifeform: they are... air cooled.

asciilifeform: compared to rocket.

asciilifeform: esp. since they emit ~0 helpful ir beacon.

asciilifeform: the 'cost of the rocket' always leads in my head to the obvious question, how many frag-on-quadcopter would that sum buy, and what % can 'phalanx' etc. shoot before they reach the addressee.

asciilifeform: overdue.

asciilifeform: dunno, imho this shithole is ready for a good old-fashioned civil war butchery.

asciilifeform: if the d00d weren't a zhirinovsky-style muppet, he'd be recruiting good old-fashioned brownshirts just about now. ☟︎
