The interceptor missiles they use – I forget the name because I don’t have a war boner – are expensive and have limited production capacity versus drones which are low five figures a unit and can be manufactured quickly.
I read some article basically saying wasting all of the missiles leaves a lot of the other places we protect open to attack and that our more serious enemies (China with Taiwan for instance) may be taking notes about how many we’re using.
I’m getting to the point where I basically predicted it would happen on Saturday too, because Trump has to make every single day all about himself. He just hates that weekend break where people do things like…not think as much about politics and spend time with their loved ones. It’s also why he posted some unhinged amount of posts over the Christmas / New Year’s holidays.
This article, like Schumer’s statement after the attack reads like, “come on man, I’m horny to get bombing in Iran, but you didn’t apply the customary lube first.”
Yup. I remember George W. Bush saying that he was against “nation building wars” and then he started two of the fucking things, including the longest war in the history of the country.
Me neither…but that’s the aesthetic. Chrysler is faux luxury, and Jeep is faux ruggedness.
They look tough / classy though!
Enshittification alternative phase 3: let the government goons run your platform.
This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.
Of course, most managers’ goal is not to become more evil and more terrible. Their goal is to attain more money and power. Becoming more evil and more terrible is simply the means toward those ends.
The people working on the software might not, but the pointy headed managers obviously are reaching for it, and in the end the people working on the software’s opinions don’t matter in the least.
Look man I know what Agile is, and I can guarantee fucking Halliburton is not amongst the most Agile companies in software. I’ve worked for government contractors (not defense contractors, sorry, I like my soul right where it is) and they all claim to follow Agile methodologies and do everything but.
However, even if they were very “Agile”, why the fuck would you plaster their logo on your homepage as if it’s a great thing that they’re using your software?
The company that makes this software is dying to become more evil and/or more terrible than even Atlassian, and I would very much not bother investing my time to learn the nuances of their begging to be acquired by Satan products.
Wanted to look at Taiga a bit and then saw this:
That’s a no for me, dawg.
EDIT: Nah the downvoters are right, Halliburton is one of the “most agile” companies in the world, and has a stellar reputation I should flaunt on my homepage /s
Hahaha first thing I thought of
In America, every once in a while the people seem to vote based upon the economy. They, for a time, seem to acknowledge that the statistics may even be wrong, and that way too many people in the country live in abject poverty. Then, they elect a Republican, and they forget they ever gave half a shit about poor, working poor, or homeless people.
We are a deeply unserious country full of deeply unserious people.

Can’t Bolsonaro just catch COVID for the 90th time and die in prison already?
Oh come on, he has power, he’s the podcaster-in-chief!
I’ve heard it said that historically when a country or empire starts collapsing, for some reason, the people and government often paradoxically behave in ways that speed up that collapse.
Pathetic
