@InvictusManeo @RegalBeagle @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild THAT'S LIKE THE "DEMOGRAPHIC GRINDER" THEORY ABOUT CITIES (RURAL PEOPLE MOVE TO CITIES AND NEVER START FAMILIES OR HAVE ONE TO TWO CHILDREN)
BUT FOR TALENT
MODERN U.S IS A TALENT GRINDER
SPECIALISTS ARE PULLED INTO THE U.S LABOR MARKET BUT DO NOT TRAIN THEIR YOUNG REPLACEMENT ONCE THERE

@nugger @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild Interesting theory. "Teaching is the greatest act of optimism" -some dead guy, probably.
I volunteer with my local community and teach computer skills, but as years go on, there's less and less people wanting to learn. It's not worth your time trying to teach those that don't want to learn.
@leespringfield1903 @Bad_Banner @casuist @IAMAL_PHARIUS @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild We're past voting our way out of this mess. I don't trust Elon, either. He promises so much and delivers so little.
@deprecated_ii That's just what they're saying. It's designed the way it is because you can't fix it yourself when it breaks. You don't own your car, you have a subscription to transportation.
@leespringfield1903 @Bad_Banner @casuist @IAMAL_PHARIUS @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild God saves those who save themselves. Start learning to farm because shit's gonna get Venezuelan up in here.
@professionalbigot69 Our PPs remain dry =[
@Terry One could argue Dallas is just as far gone as Austin and that neither are really TX anymore. Thanks, Californians.
@professionalbigot69 Do you get any good action on dating apps? I keep getting fats.

@RegalBeagle @InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild I hear you. I watch with no satisfaction as the DEI dynamic plays out in the Gulf, the Red Sea, across occupied Palestine and the Levant, also among the NATO sponsors of country 404, the "country" formerly known as Ukraine, and in the South China Sea. Nature always wins, I guess.
@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild The more useless diversity hires in the GAE, the better. I want the boog to be on easy difficulty; I'm getting too old for this shit.
@coolboymew I'm just glad I don't have to cobble together an Arch box to game in Linux anymore.

We literally went from
>Linux is not a a suitable OS if you want to game
to
>Wow, Proton actually works, Valve fixed Doom 2016 to working in a few weeks. You may have to fuck around and check ProtonDB to make things work, but hey, stuff works now
to now
>I don't even look at ProtonDB anymore, things just work now pretty much all the time
Within the span of like 6-7 years

@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild All good points, but I think the lack of qualified talent being trained in schools is the most critical part. Ukraine punches above its weight by adapting technology to make up for their lack of resources. I don't think US has the human capital of caliber to do the same. Competent DoD contractors were effectively purged once the clot shot mandates came down back in 2021. Anyone who could get out/retire did.
@Wopu Thanks for the clarification
@Wopu I'm not seeing anyone talk about it in my usual spheres. Houthis have been including video footage of most of their declared attacks now after media tried to lie and say they didn't sink that bulk carrier a few months back, so it's suspicious they wouldn't do that this time.
@PNS So now when I tell assholes to eat shit it's actual medical advice? Good to know!
@vic @7666 @Nimbius666 Until C suite sees the value of testing and documentation, I don't think things will change and code monkeys like me can't properly explain its importance to them. Sure you're faster in the short-term cranking out code, but any salty dev will tell you maintenance of shitty code is what becomes your biggest cost.
@Nimbius666 @7666 I can't wait to leave IT and be a farmer.
@CatLord @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS The original figures are way back in a blogpost here: https://simplicius76.substack.com/
I probably made a mistake as looking around, the figure was likely hypersonics in general, not specifically Kinzhals. This report puts Tomahawk production ~2.2k/y, but this fluctuates and is old: https://www.navair.navy.mil/node/13136 (assuming Raytheon meets contract deliverables...)
Russia has over a dozen hypersonic systems deployed today while the US none.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
