Post something just for the heck of it

Something I haven't seen that is important in what Ukraine achieved is that Russia doesn't have enough jamming gear to protect its front lines well, and now it has to worry about installations across the entire country. Russia can't guard everything, which means Ukraine just turned what was an electronic shield into a butterfly net.

Additionally, as shown in the video (I think), the Ukrainians responded to the jamming broadcasts by placing a beacon drone behind attack drones so that the forward jamming no longer prevents the attacking drones from receiving a signal.

And a bit of good news?


Wind, solar, and hydro accounted for over 30% of global electricity generation in 2024. Renewables will likely power nearly 50% of the world by 2030. Clean energy is winning.

Any good news is very welcome.

If only the party had started sooner. The trillions spent on nuclear during the sixties could have been used to make renewables the dominant power source long before now. But renewables did not have the dual use factor that nuclear did to smudge the true cost of the arms race. That so much money was wasted is not such a bad thing, if the weapon/civilian cross subsidy had given value for money, none of us may of been still here today.

Poor dog.

I'm sure he's used to it.

On a point of pedantry, spiders are arachnids rather than insects. Eight legs rather than six and all that.

True that.

If we had been developing wind and solar 20 years earlier...who knows where we'd have ended up in terms of clean energy....not that the product imputs for either of those is clean by any stretch.

And even hydro-electric, which Ontario and Quebec have as the core of our power generation comes with an environmental cost.

When I was a kid, Ontario Hydro built the largest coal fired plant in North America in 1972....and then closed it in 2013 and demolished it by 2019. At one time it was the largest source of air pollution in Canada.
