What about a Gatling rail gun? 6 rails, each rotating into alignment for sabot launch.

I finally have the BluRay software on my PC, have a 32" 4K monitor & wireless connection to my hearing aids. Just finished a watch of Ep 2, S1 in the comfort of my office chair while my wife watches something on the big screen in the living room.
Shed's still OK & saved Alex with buddy breathing.

War is large scale hard conflict. Science fiction tends in that direction a substantial amount, probably because good SF deals with big interpersonal & social issues; war is the largest indicator of social/societal failure.
Crappy SF is often simply war porn with no underlying redeeming story.

The short rail gun MTBF or overhaul frequency makes a pretty compelling case for heavy use of PDCs. Velocity/kinetic transfer's lower but requires less maintenance.

I wonder how many megawatts of power each of those rail guns requires. Hitting a tungsten slug with insane amounts of magnetic force would probably heat it to near melting despite the controlled stepping along the coils.

I’ve written prettier sentence, but the one I return to is “My life has become the single ongoing revelation that I haven’t been cynical enough.”

I can just imagine the flat-earther comments - "Fake pictures! These were shot at an angle to make Earth look round! Where's the turtle's back that Earth rests on?" LOL

As a big hard scifi fan, these images are giving me SO much joy

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it:

International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

Utterly craven that the Republicans are allowing it to go on

To think that these were the people that critiqued Biden for being feeble & having dementia & he wasn’t a 10th as bad as Epsteins best mate ….

Good moaning …..

Trump’s Stone-Age Strategy Will Lead to Tragedy America and Iran are playing different games.

What counts as victory for Donald Trump “is not what counts for the Islamic Republic. For Iran, what counts is resistance, against arrogant and wicked oppressors, chiefly the United States and Israel,” Graeme Wood argues.

Oh that would be sooooo sad

Trump got his Byrons …

This deranged, pedophile psychopath must be stopped before he gets us all killed.

For the MAGA cult saying these Generals deserved to be fired and have committed treason, here’s General Mark Milley’s iconic quote:
“We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution and we're willing to die to protect it.”

Psychologist says:

"Trump has the most severe personality disorder a person can have.

Trump is both evil and demented."

Because... that's what Christian Nationalist fascists do and say on Easter.
Not the Prince of Peace has risen and not happy with war killing.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
