I wonāt be able to dig through my old office stuff for a bit so youāll have to deal with my picture from when I first found it.
About 5 years ago before the dark dark times if COVID I had traveled to Japan for a conference. Their video game stores are on another level. I have a friend that is on a mission to own every Sega Saturn game ever made. So Iām browsing the list and I came across this guy.
I just thought he was an amazing derpy Godzilla. Had to have him.

I think this thread is a great idea
I personally dont give a fuck if somebody gives me credit or not, but for those that do, or even those that decide they dont want their content used, that is a great repository as a ācatch allā
It would be far too complicated to get permission first, wait for a reply (if it ever comes) And far too much great content to not share.

More like welcome to the modern internet where you need an add blocker to use payed services. I think that Netflix is already doing that in the US, but I donāt know if the EU has regulations against this.

This so reminds me of the ridiculously oversized swords in video games.
Also, swarms of cheap drones are new to warfare, but the situation is rapidly changing. Investing heavily in current antidrone tech is a foolās game. Look at russia vs Ukraine. Armored tanks > Cope Cages > Turtle Tanks with Jammers. Drones were initially used against targets, then started hunting opposing drone operators, and now thereās specialized drone on drone aerial warfare. The whole evolution of the Sea Baby, which is currently faster, more capable, and cheaper than ever and sporting anti air missiles to hunt the ones hunting them. Itās just iterating too fast to bother with expensive solutions.
I guarantee militaries everywhere are SERIOUSLY watching this rapid evolution play out and adapting. Rapidly. Iād also bet that, like all new game changing innovations, eventually the full benefits, limits, and liabilities will be realized and the rapid change will slow. Thatās the time to invest heavily in expensive tech.
Unless of course, youāre getting your ass handed to you for the last couple of years by a country you expected to fall in 2-3 days.

Probably the biggest mistake Russia made was not realizing they were going to engage in a proxy war with a bunch of other countries. Ukraine on its own would have fallen pretty quick, but the constant pouring of tech, money, and information (intelligence) into Ukraine has kept Ukraine aliveā¦ but letās not forget, the countries (the governments, not the people) that support Ukraine donāt actually care about Ukraine, they are only supporting Ukraine to hinder Russian expansion.

And, from the US perspective, itās a good way to keep the weapon industry going since theyāre not using them in Iraq ā¦ Itās more about money than politics
(The same applies with American weapons delivery to Israel)

Worked perfectly. Still not the same read range as the card but equal to a fob, so works if i get the chameleon ultra close enough to it. Big thanks.

Awesome. If you have a nanovna you can test it, can probably tune it tighter and squeeze some more range out of it
