Yah a machine gun of some sort for both counter UAS or engaging infantry makes way more sense than a javelin

Lol what. What do they think the main-fucking-gun is for?

Fun story...when I was a CO commander I was in the Bde HHC commanders office bitching about something...and he was like "hey man to put things in perspective my armorer was selling NODs on eBay and S1 was selling fake CACs on Craigslist"

My infantry CO of ne'er-do-wells didn't seem so bad

Yah I lost a truck in Iraq and for weeks afterwards my XO kept trying to add things to the FLIPL.

Like bud why would a radio from another platoon have been in my truck?

Not great man, extremely not great

I mean it's not like these guys are highly skilled operators. The violence they are conducting they are only able to do because they're cloaked in authority and immunity

Bro did he just AIM away message an interview?
LeBron James: "I put the time and the effort and the commitment in … As Jay-Z would say, if you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack, and maybe you'll love me when I fade to black."

Grok, the deep fake porn machine? That grok?
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the integration of Elon Musk's xAI platform, Grok, into military networks as part of a new "AI acceleration strategy" during a visit to SpaceX.

I think this morning I would much rather be a Panthers fan than a Packers fan

Not sure which was dumber, the throw or the interception

English FA cup is rad.

6th division team currently up 2-0 on a premier league club (who is also the defending FA Cup champs).

Blackhawks should put the beer league goalie in

Every game I've watched on 4k this season
January 10, 2026 at 2:23 AM
Loving the 4k broadcast of CFP...the picture is nice but honestly the best part is it's just a wide live shot of the field instead of commercials....

No sports betting commercials and on breaks I can go do stuff as soon as I hear the commentary start back I just head back to the TV

I'm gonna be honest I initially read this as "Virginia one of top 50 states for wine" and was like, yah seems accurate but weird to claim

I'm just not sure why articulating more than one fault in the administration's policy at a time is impossible?

That does seem...safer

Throw some tracers in and it's beautiful. Dangerous but beautiful

Ok 2012 actually but who's counting

This would also rely on whoever's doing the shooting to, you know, not miss the plate
