Apparently, the solution to this is retrorockets -

Once clear of the plane a single large main chute opens. The deployment of the main chute triggers the deployment of four long rods which hang beneath the pallet. As soon as the rods touch the ground fires, slowing the BMD to a descending speed between 6 m/s and 7 m/s and giving it a relatively soft landing. This system entered service in 1975 and allows a BMD to be relatively safely parachuted with both the driver and the gunner.

Hahaha.

Also, per the BBC's reporting:

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

Surprisingly not surprising.

I love the X-32, and it’s a shame that MD took over post merger then fucked up Boeing as bad as they did.

Also, yes I’m just stealing from other communities.

"Web Environment Integrity" is an all-out attack on the free Internet by fist_of_fartitude in c/technology@lemmy.world

Everyone who uses Chrome (or Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, or anything else that uses Chromium as a base) - you're helping google extend their power over the open web, and those helping them do this.

It's a small thing, but Google's power over the web derives from each of the the millions of people who continue to make Chrome the standard that webdevs cater to.

"Unidentified"? More like "Don't ask, don't tell" by fist_of_fartitude in c/noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

A former intel officer testified to a house committee that the US has had a UFO retrieval program for years, and that we've recovered non-human "biologics" from the crash sites. He has no direct knowledge of anything, by his own admission, but he's willing to provide more detail to congress in a secure facility.

I'll keep the possibility open, I guess, but it sounds like absolute bullshit for a variety of reasons.

Reddit’s 2023 r/Place turned into a battleground for dunking on the CEO by fist_of_fartitude in c/technology@lemmy.world

A Reddit spokesperson declined to comment about this year’s edition of r/Place, telling Polygon via email “redditors are going to reddit.”

Honestly, that's probably the best response he could've given.

Would those conscripts be Russian? by fist_of_fartitude in c/noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

[-] fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 year ago

Unilever, too. I think this means they're actually handing over information about the employees to the government so they can be conscripted. Also, fuck them for still operating there at all.

Reproduced here for easier amusement:

1/ Russia's space agency Roskosmos is reportedly evaluating options for using space rockets to drop aerial bombs on Ukraine from orbit. The proposal is likely to face serious technical difficulties, not least the risk of bombs burning up from the heat of atmospheric reentry.

2/ The Russian BRIEF Telegram channel reports that former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin has been discussing the proposal with Dmitry Baranov, director general of the Progress Rocket Space Centre, before taking it to Vladimir Putin last week.

Rogozin reportedly envisages using Russia's Vostochny and Plesetsk cosmodromes to launch bomb-carrying rockets into space to drop "heavy FABs" (presumably the FAB-500 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) general purpose air-dropped bomb) on "NATO equipment" in Ukraine.

3/ Baranov, understandably, has questions. According to BRIEF, he objected that the bombs would overheat on the way down. "It's travelling at over 6 kilometres per second. That's practically space speed. It's like the Soyuz TMA [spacecraft] coming back. It's the same shit."

4/ According to Baranov, rockets launched from Vostochny can carry 7.5 tons, while launches from Plesetsk can carry 10 tons, minus a ton in each case for "insurance". He is said to envisage a 6-9 month timeframe for adapting the rockets into bombers, though he seems to be uncertain about how this can be done. Rogozin reportedly envisages adapting "the toys of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering" to shield the FABs from reentry heat.

5/ BRIEF reports that Rogozin planned to send a paper to Anton Vaino, Putin's chief of staff, who is said to be interested and intending to "report to the chief on this matter". It's not known what Putin himself thinks of the idea

Nobody with the power to fire spez has a problem with what he's doing. This is likely driven by VCs and other investors wanting their money now that the Fed has turned off the cash hose.

Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

Hackers fail to attack SWIFT (blockzeit.com)

Russia backing hackers threatened to disrupt the SWIFT network, causing international banking chaos; the idea is to disrupt western support for Ukraine.

Judging by my ATM card working just fine earlier today, I guess it was a noncredible threat.
