  • I don't think most Americans are going to even register it's subs for Australia though. Maybe that's also the point, get Americans excited about building an extra sub or two as a treat for Australia. (Well really to your point Australia still wouldn't actually get new subs)

  • I don't watch a lot of NASCAR but seeing AKUS is blowing money being the lead sponsor on a car is wild. I guess since Australia isn't actually getting the submarines for a long time (or is it not at all?) they're free to do this.

    Buildsubmarines is some site talking up AKUS

  • True, all good points. Uruguay has looked pretty good in the game I watched. They don't have the the same top end star power, but the addition of Bielsa might help them add up to more then the sum of their parts. They're definitely more talented on paper than Bolivia. The one victory in neutral sites is pretty brutal. I guess the altitude is really what tends to give Bolivia a shot.

  • Yeah I'd imagine that's a massive advantage for them and with this Copa America they're completely missing that advantage now with it being in the US.

  • So I've been watching the Copa America as well as the Euros this year. The Bolivia coup attempt got me thinking, how do we think the Bolivian National team will react in their game today against Uruguay? I know they have quite a few domestic players.

  • I had no idea this existed and was just using ublock origin.

    How cpu intensive is this? Just curious since I'll definitely put it on my desktop but wondering if I should also put it on my phone Firefox browser.

  • I've been using my OnePlus 9 which has been solid so far. I had to loose the headphone jack unfortunately which I really hate. Not sure what their new phones look like at the moment, but they're one of the Chinese manufacturers that at least had phones at cheaper than the flagship price point.

    I have no idea on the bootloader side of things, but OnePlus has been good about the OS updates. I'm on Android 14 at the moment.

  • I used have a early 00s Sentra and did the same cassette to aux thing. I thought it was a big deal when I got some head unit on clearance put in, and then and I blew out the speakers.

  • Yeah, I have the same. I would like carplay/ android auto or whatever. But really don't need much of a screen. Just something big enough for GPS and see the current thing playing.

    Otherwise yeah I could care less about most of what others consider essential. I don't even like leather seats lol.

  • I believe it was Mazda? I saw recently that was already doing this since they saw distracted driving massively increases with less buttons and knobs and whatnot.

    I feel like whenever my current car dies I'm going to be looked at like a weirdo because I want buttons and knobs and analog gauges.

    Edit: Thought the Mazda thing was more recent. I guess it's from 2019 Why Mazda is Purging Touchscreens From its Vehicles

  • Update on Greg Joseph with the Israeli shoes: Missed a 49yrd field goal.

    Vikings offense is so bad I'm guessing he'll get another cracks at it unfortunately. Would love it if he couldn't hit any of them wearing those things.

    Edit: Vikings offense is indeed bad, Greg Joseph hit a field goal. Very upsetting to see him 1/2 and not 0/2

    This Sunday against the Raiders, various people within the Vikings organization will be supporting Israel on their feet. Kicker Greg Joseph’s cleats and sneakers that will be worn by the Wilfs and team CEO Andrew Miller.

    Some context is the kicker is a white South African. The Wilfs are NJ based real estate "developers".

  • I mean it's probably incorrect and a typo then. But if that's somehow Lockheed Martin's actual cost to manufacturer the plane that would mean they're pocketing 100mil per plane.

    I doubt Lockheed Martin would give just the production cost out and would want to hide that though.

  • Last year was also 50% only as well I think. So it means they've basically made no progress whatsoever. Although I suspect there's really no desire to actually complete the audit.

  • The service is also looking for new anti-ship missiles. This spring, it announced plans to buy 268 Joint Strike Missiles over the next five years, which an official said would "bridge that gap" until it acquires more of the larger Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, which the Navy and Air Force both want and Lockheed Martin is scrambling to build.

    Looks like we've got a new Lockheed Martin grift to pay attention to. Can't wait for the hijinks! I'm guessing it won't be anything cool and instead be like it won't track the object on a cloudy day or something.

    "The stacking of effects starts in cyber, then there's a space, then there's an air, there may be a surface, and there may be a subsurface component, with electronic combat happening — all needing to arrive on the target coincidentally," Wilsbach said.

    "In a dynamic environment where aircraft and ships and perhaps ground units from the Army, with satellites traveling through space, all have to synchronize in time and space so the effects occur at the same time on the target — so you get munitions on the target to destroy and hopefully sink the ship, as an example — that we are working on constantly," Wilsbach said.

    Sounds like this individual just got back from a Silicon Valley retreat. Whole lot of words for not meaning much of anything.

  • Yeah reminds me of this earlier in the year. I caught wind of it because I follow MLS. Was weird because I remember the follow up stories and discussion being the fans didn't mind and thought it was neat or something like that.

    Can't find any follow up stories I'd probably have more luck if I knew Hebrew or Polish, but he got 23 total appearances with the club after being only a few in after the salute.

    Former MLS Player Denies Using Nazi Salute To Celebrate Goal In Israel, Apologizes For Misinterpretation

    Also found this one about the Tel Aviv club: Israel’s most racist soccer club isn’t shouting ‘death to Arabs’

    The racism at the club is further enabled by the fact that Maccabi flies under the Israeli media’s radar, which instead prefers to focus on the antics of Beitar Jerusalem fans, particularly “La Familia,” and the complete absence of Arab players in the club’s entire history. But the decision of Maccabi Tel Aviv players to wrap themselves in the Israeli flag following Tuesday’s match shouts out the subtext that Arabs have no place here. In other words, those Maccabi players are no less racist than members of “La Familia.”
