A well back then may have been quite a proud and precious thing you point your best builders at, considering it was the life source for the area village/farms.

Except that's not how the world works.

We have peace for as long as there's a balance of powers in this MAD nuclear stalemate we find ourselves in.

If you've got secret goodies in the shed that completely disrupt the balance, you don't realize them until it's absolutely necessary. It's not a massive disinformation campaign, it's about operating at scale on a level appropriate for the circumstances.

China and Russia have been doing a lot of saber rattling and projecting new technologies that threaten to disrupt the balance, so I don't think it's too surprising that the US is responding with escalating propaganda of its own.

The big question is are these UFOs demonstrating real capabilities or is it just fabricated FUD propaganda.

We'll always have something better in the shed, otherwise we're obsolete.

He live-streamed using racial epithets against people of said race in public.

If you think shadowbanning on HN is why Terry committed suicide, you weren't paying attention.

He didn't jump in front of the train, he sat on the tracks and waited patiently with his back to it (there's video).

What happened to Terry is a textbook example of why vulnerable people need to be supervised on the internet.

Trolls posing as his fans had miniature drums sent to him while still living with his elderly parents, playing a significant part in his eventually becoming homeless.

They spoofed fake love letters from an internet-famous woman he was clearly obsessed with to anyone watching his live-streams, who would then of course completely ignore his advances.

Basically trolls actively messed with Terry, watching the consequences in real-time on his live-streams, as if it were a video game. Steadily pushing him further down a spiral of self-destruction, culminating in taking his own life.

I'm saddened by what happened to Terry, and am confident he'd still be among the living had he never discovered YouTube. Live-streaming his daily life was his undoing.

Was Terry, he committed suicide while homeless in August 2018, after being horribly antagonized and manipulated by the likes of 4chan and other internet trolls.

Terry Davis, the late schizophrenic author of TempleOS, had a number of racist rants and other bigoted and hate-filled videos on YouTube.

But unlike what WalterBright is describing, these were appropriately reconfigured to not require high-octane fuel.

Do you have any good references we can check out?

This sounded interesting so I skimmed the tanks mentioned in [0] and only found mention of prototypes exploring use of a turboshaft engine [1] from [2]. [1] explicitly states "none of these was fitted operationally", so I don't get the impression that these ever even encountered battlefield conditions before Panther II was canceled.

> At the time Munich began the move to LiMux in 2004, it was one of the largest organizations to reject Windows, and Microsoft took the city's leaving so seriously that its then CEO Steve Ballmer flew to Munich, but the mayor at the time, Christian Ude, stood firm.

> More recently, Microsoft last year moved its German company headquarters to Munich.

Ouch.

It gets worse, bundling those two is the epitome of conflict of interests when you find yourself the victim of the hospital's negligence and expect your insurer to act in your best interest.

Nope!
