What happens if Ansar Allah decides to launch like 10 Shahed drones at the same time / in the same tight window at a US military boat ?

Genuinely asking, these interceptor mechanisms must have an incoming throughput limit, right ?

Also and not to mention, IIRC some of those interceptor missiles cost a million+ bucks a piece. They can't have an unlimited number of them onboard.

They've said they would block Rungis, the main distribution point for food in Paris; they haven't though. About 10 of them finally reached it today and got arrested but that's about it.

Beyond this they're supposedly "blocking" the main highways leading to Paris, except it seems very intermittent; mostly people are getting through (though sometimes after having to slow down and being handed flyers).

They did "bomb" (planted a small bomb that exploded at ground level) a public building about a week ago though, during the night. Here is the aftermath.

Hard to say; might be a side effect of the general deployment of more and more police files, might've been the aim from the start; I'd bet on a little of both, personally.

Just look at this bastard. This is Macron's freshly appointed new prime minister; a long-time friend of the presidential couple. This is someone that of course went to the bourgeois private schools in Paris but also and funnier specifically filed papers when younger in order to be able to add his mother's noble particle ("de Couriss") to his name in order to, one assumes, feel like an authentic pre-French-revolution noble.

Anyway, that particular imbecile just did his first "general policy" speech in the French congress; in it:

• He very regularly expressed his desire to induce "respect of authority" among the young; saying insane shit like "I am convinced transmission of knowledge is only possible through deep respect for authority, and our republican values, and of course secularism" or "authority must be respected everywhere: in classrooms, in the family, in the streets".
• There's a thing in france called the RSA - it's not exactly basic income but it's what you can get when your unemployment runs out (with deeply horrible conditions and snooping that would deserve a comment of their own); recently those morons started an "experiment" in several regions where they force people receiving it to work 15 hours a week, unpaid, in order to keep receiving it. The bastard announced in the same speech they will now put that measure into effect country-wide soon, without waiting for the results of the cruel "experiment".
• There was also an intermediate help you could receive between unemployment running out and the thing I talked about above; they're removing it entirely
• He quickly said that in the context of climate change, "degrowth would never be acceptable because it would destroy our incredibly generous welfare system", basically; more generally the economics stuff was basically your usual neoliberal software, except taken to eleven.

And the same awful bastard is rumored to be, on top of Macron's puppet, his planned successor (him not being able to run again due to term limits).

From the "fucking horrifying news" section, several LGBTQ+ support nonprofits here have recently revealed that France has now started discreetly keeping a registry of trans people (article is in French, sorry).

They're alimenting it by snooping on the civil process that allows one to change their gender officially; and it's specifically aimed at being accessed by cops - and transphobia is unsurprisingly rampant among police in France.

lmao look at this picture

This is the Moon lander for JAXA's SLIM mission, photographed on January 25th by a small deployable robot released by the lander on its final approach.

They landed the main lander upside down. This picture is some kerbal shit.

Si, je pense qu'ils vendent les kindle (tous les kindle) à perte; et c'est en tous cas certainement vrai pour les kindle supportés par la pub.

Perso j'achete la liseuse amazon, la version avec pubs; puis je la jailbreak pour installer KOReader et virer toute référence à Amazon, dont les pubs.

Tu as le support de l'epub, un lecteur super, et tu fais perdre de l'argent à Amazon.

Every fucking time

Tabasco is the only US product I (very) regularly buy. It isn't that strong so you've got to put like 20% of a small bottle each meal but I've tried many hot sauces and it's the one I prefer, specifically because of its taste. Also many others I've tried, like Sriracha, were very salty.

Enough people have bullied me about it for me to conclude I probably have shit taste in that respect but I don't care, I like my tabasco.

Once they had the green variety at my local shop so I tried it out of curiosity but that one is shit, I don't recommend it.

I've said it before: assuming he survives, he's months away from a traveling stand-up show with Guaidó. They'll probably end up as a Shen Yun opening act

I did a double take as well, as I assumed when I started reading the comment that 300 bucks was already the defense inflated price

It's insanity
