This needs to be verified BUT it seems they've identified the Jan 6 pipebomber

 

94% Match: New Clues Emerge In Jan. 6 Pipe Bomber Identity https://t.co/nIshinZzpL

This is crazy. Another coverup? Our govt is "having credibility issues". That's about the nicest way I could put it. The reality? No way in hell do they NOT KNOW who placed those pipe bombs in DC. Its a city under the most severe surveillance in the world. I've arrived at the theory that we're so heavily monitored that they're aware of alot of shit that goes on (to include being able to easily ID drug dealers and murderers) and simply allow much of it to happen to keep their real capabilities secret. If we knew the truth the govt would fall from outrage on both sides of the isle.

But back on task.

Read this story for yourself and let me know what you think.

The CT40 cannon is real Boffinry at work.

The AI-assisted onboard system recognises its targets and can cue up different types of ammunition to be fired in the most devastating sequence.

I don't get it.

Everyone is so jazzed about the CT40 but no one is even talking about the 50mm cannon the US Army is working on.

Once this is in service (and it will go into service with the Army's XM-30 Infantry Fighting Vehicle) it will change everything.

I predict that it will become the modern day version of the WW2 German 88mm cannon.

It will be used for damn near everything.  

From becoming the close in defense for ships, to being mounted on robot vehicles to conduct all types of missions on the ground, to becoming the standard gun WORLDWIDE for manned IFVs, the backbone of anti-drone forces (especially when they get to airburst munitions) and the list goes on.

The 30mm is good for now.  It can even give MBTs a run for its money if the crew is good and its on an agile vehicle.  But the 40mm?  That juice just ain't worth the squeeze.

Nations going to that caliber are making a mistake in my opinion.

Many are finally waking up to a reality I've been shouting about for months. The IDF/Israeli Economy can no longer support ongoing operations against HAMAS

Good list but with a few caveats that I've discovered...

1.  From whatever sources (besides shakes) make sure you're getting the same amount of protein as you LEAN bodyweight.  If you're obese shooting to meet your ACTUAL body weight (meaning you're including fat mass) will put you way over your requirements.

2.  Zinc and Calcium before bed is real.  If you're like me it might give you some wild dreams but the muscle recovery is real plus you'll sleep deeper which builds muscle too.

3.  Hit that Beta-Alanine daily.  It blunts delayed onset AND helps preserve muscle if you're on the other side of being a youngster.

4.  Creatine?  I've read too many reports of it flexing into a "brain health" tool.  Many are suggesting that if you're sleep deprived it can help blunt the ill effects of burning the candle at both ends.  Additionally some are pushing the idea that you should use it like protein, x amount per kg of bodyweight.  One pro golfer does 25 grams a day and is killing it on the course.  

With all of this its just my experience.  Yours may vary so consider the above just a guideline and figure out what works for you.

Two months left in this year.

If you've been doing it right you've been locked in since at least Sept.

No Excuses.

I mean fucking really? They're spitting milk on their guy to see if he's ready for a baby? Like seriously? STUPID SHIT! How about all the other REAL factors. Maturity, financial stability, oh and how about at least some relationship stability (hopefully married!). Let me repeat. THIS IS SOME STUPID SHIT!

I've always wondered how this guy could get away with much of what he's done with so little (almost no) pushback. From the forced conscription to the obvious efforts to escalate the war, to the downright extortion of money from the West thru weapons/aid, and let's not forget the lack of elections...I've been amazed at the amount of rope he's been handed.

Read it here, note that its the EU edition and I'm not sure it'll make it to the US version but its a read that smacks of power consolidation in the hands of one man.

Combined Anti-Armor Team. Makes ya wonder how the Marine Corps can call an outfit that has 50 cal machineguns and a few Javelins (no TOW missiles for these guys anymore) can be called an anti-armor team. Especially when their ride is a JLTV! Say what you will but without tanks our guys are sitting ducks to any proper armored force if you take into reality that the MAGTF as we knew it is dead and Marine/Navy Air won't be coming to the rescue when enemy tanks are cresting the hill. Oh and save me the artillery will get it done garbage cause the MLR has missiles to kill ships, not tanks.

Can we just call this thing the Carl Gustav like the rest of the world? Why reinvent the wheel? What happened to keeping it simple? Yeah I know, we got bigger fish to fry but jeez.

Food for thought...

Indian Army ALH Rudra along with Arjun Mk1 MBTs

This is one of those tanks that doesn't get much press. The Arjun Mk1 MBT. I don't recall how its seen in comparison to the other tanks of the world. Is it good, bad or just ok? I do know that the Indian Army has put much effort into the design but I have to wonder if the juice is worth the squeese.
