Maybe the equipment just needs to send its unique ID, location, status, pictures, current audio to pentagon satellites. We could then monitor, gather intelligence and choose the optimal time to destroy. (Like a truck loaded with jihadists).
That's pretty much what we do.
Blue Force Tracking systems consist of a computer, used to display location information, a satellite terminal and satellite antenna, used to transmit location and other military data, a Global Positioning System receiver (to determine its own position), command-and-control software (to send and receive orders, and many other battlefield support functions), and mapping software, usually in the form of a geographic information system (GIS), that plots the BFT device on a map. The system displays the location of the host vehicle on the computer's terrain-map display, along with the locations of other platforms (friendly in blue, and enemy in red) in their respective locations. BFT can also be used to send and receive text and imagery messages, and Blue Force Tracking has a mechanism for reporting the locations of enemy forces and other battlefield conditions (for example, the location of mine fields, battlefield obstacles, bridges that are damaged, etc.).
Additional capability in some BFT devices is found in route planning tools. By inputting grid coordinates the BFT becomes both the map and compass for motorized units. With proximity warnings enabled the vehicle crew is made aware as they approach critical or turn points. Blue Force Tracking
It could just limit vehicle speed to 40 Km/hr and disable turret stabilization and range finding. My understanding is all the radios are now digital and encrypted and the next higher command can disable their lower's commo equipment, extend that into the rest of the equipment's automation systems shouldn't be that big of a deal, the equipment would still be lethal in an in your face fire fight, but they wouldn't be make any 1000 m shots reliably.
Yes just slide a thermite into the barrel and close the breech block, set another on the engine and your left with 20 tons of scrap metal. The field manuals always had a section on "Destruction to prevent Enemy use", the idea is if everybody made sure they destroyed the same critical part, several broken units couldn't be cannibalized to make one good unit.
I think in the future, the equipment is going to be more tightly integrated with the Blue Force Tracking so even if someone did get away with an working End Item, they'd have one hell of a bull's eye painted on their backs.
My itching was more from hystamine spilling out due to the infamation, the only time there was any pain was when air was hitting the raw skin durring dressing changes; like the itchy, gritty feeling from a sunburn, only lasting for a couple months.
Mine was from burning rosin on the back of my right hand, they kept asking me about the pain which was well controlled but my take everything too literal mind never thought to complain about the itching. I was being seen in a teaching Hospital, Detroit Recieving, a MD from another Hospital casualy said "Oh by the way you do know that benedryl stops the itching, don't you?" after 6 weeks the itchy gritty torment was gone with 1 benedryl!
I was a burn patient and was prescribed enough morphine to depress my breathing, but that didn't touch my headache. The Nurses looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for tylenol for my headache, but it clobbered the headache.
But no doubt, they want you, me, and every non-Muslim converted or dead.
I hope you realize that Non-Muslim includes a lot of people we would consider Muslim. I wouldn't be surprized for example that the Palestinians would be considered "non-believers" because if they truely were "believers" then Israel would have been pushed into the sea with the help of Allah, besides they are the ones that allowed the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock in Old City of Jerusalem to fall into Israeli hands. Additionally the Iranians, Afgans and Pakistanis would all be "Non-Believers" because they are Shia and Persians not Arabs.
Keynesian economics is more about controlling money's value through plain old supply and demand i.e. Government can cause inflation by spending at a deficit, reducing taxes and pumping money into the economy. The country was in a depression caused by deflation in the 1930's, so FDR's spending at deficts to fund Public works worked. The inverse would be that Government can cause deflation by increasing taxes, reducing spending and paying down the debt with inflated money. During the Carter Administration, they tried to fix an inflationary recession by miss-applying Keynesian economics and increased defict spending with disasterous results.
Currently with inflation at 1.5 - 2, the budget should be balanced and taxes moderate.
Fuck you. You seriously believe this "job creator" myth? And all that other crap?
The only thing keeping Ronald Reagan from being the worst president in US history is W.
During Jimmy Carter's last year in office (1980), inflation averaged 12.5%, compared with 4.4% during Reagan's last year in office (1988).[122] During Reagan's administration, the unemployment rate declined from 7.5% to 5.4%, with the rate reaching highs of 10.8% in 1982 and 10.4% in 1983, averaging 7.5% over the eight years, and GDP growth average 7.9% with a high of 12.2% growth in 1982.[123][124]Ronald Reagan
I guess you're too young to remember what's like living with double digit inflation, with double digit unemployment during the worst recession since the great depression, becase that's what he inhereted from Carter. Ending the Cold War by enacting strategies that collapsed the Soviet Union, reunified Germany and liberated eastern Euorpe from Soviet puppet states was no mean feat either.
I consider George H, one of the worst presidents because all he had to do is keep on doing what they were doing when he was VP, and he didn't.
First it's been a long time since Comcast has advertised "unlimited" as in decades rather than years, and certainly well before they re-branded their service as Xfinity, having said that, Comcast does market themselves by showing happy people merrily using their Xfinity internet in ways that would certainly run into their glass ceilings limits on a monthly basis; all without saying that you can only do those activities 3 days out of a week. Secondly why would anybody pay for broadband internet, and only use it like ISDN or DSL?
how did SCOTUS declare it a tax when it wasnt wriiten up as one in the law?... Am i missing something?
Yes there is no constitutional authorization for the Government to penalize private citizens for not purchasing a service from an other private entity, so SCOTUS had to call a spade a spade or overthrow the whole bill.
PAC's have to keep track of their donors and publish them,
PACs and Super PACs are required by law to disclose all of their donors of over $200. However, 501(c)(4) organizations are only required to disclose their spending on political activity, and not information on their donors unless those donors give for the express purpose of political advocacy. Campaign finance in the United States
When an election gets really ugly in the US it's normally because of advertisements ran by a Super PAC or a 501(c)(4) organization to support their "Golden Child" or oppose their "Son of Satan" opponent, rather than the Candidate or His/Her Election Committee. It's Ironic when you see ads claiming a Candidate is a bought and paid for sock puppet for the Kock Brothers in an ad paid for by Soros, and the next ad says the inverse about the opposing candidate, while you know both candidate consider the Kocks and Soros to be a tar-baby of epic proportions.
Egyptian and Nubuian mummy's bones are stained black because of the tetracycline in their beer.
"We tend to associate drugs that cure diseases with modern medicine," Armelagos says. "But it's becoming increasingly clear that this prehistoric population was using empirical evidence to develop therapeutic agents. I have no doubt that they knew what they were doing." Ancient brew masters tapped antibiotic secrets
I rather doubt the Pharaohs were the only one who knew how to brew beer, more likely it was a priest guild with a pharonic charter.
The climate models interate their algorithm hundreds of millions of times, while a 0.0000001% wouldn't make much difference in predicting tomorrow's climate, when your trying to predict the climate 50 years out the error compounds to the point where a crystal ball is likely to be more accurate.
I think your greatly underestimating how much heat it takes to raise the water temperature a tenth of a degree in the Atlantic ocean at a depth of 300m; and a tenth of a degree isn't going to make much difference in methane emissions.
If the seeps are not growing in size or quantity, the atmospheric methane due to the seeps should remain constant, and the models should be unaffected.
If the models underestimate the amount of methane, and the models have hard-coded adjustments to make the hindcasts agree with the temperature record, then the models underestimate the warming due to methane and over-estimate warming due to CO2; the models are wrong. There really isn't any other logical way to spin this.
Nobody is going to increase their expenses voluntarily.
If your contract has a stipulated profit margin, you can increase your gross profit by increasing expenses; so yes it does happen. Defense contractors throw parties when DoD changes the specs letting them increases expenses.
Halite is the mineral name for salt, sodium chloride salt, so thermohaline circulation refers to both the temperature and the salinity effect on the water's density and flow.

You fucking got me started
Reagan was the only President that I know of that was president of a Union, President of the Screen Actors Guild specificaly
What country did we annex again? Oh, right.
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands come to mind.
4 countries border the United States,
1. Cuba
2. Russia
3. Canada
4. Mexico
