    Secondary, but Mick West reporting on Chris Smith makes me think the simulation is running out of RAM in its Names module.

    Imagine all the money and effort the US could have saved covering up TWA800 if they'd just given local traffic cops surface to air missles left over from the first gulf war and gone "shit happens".

      Terminal velocity fall from a bullet will hurt but probably not injured anyone so that's nice. So, if they shoot at a low angle and there is still a biotic trajectory that could be different

    This is what happens when your government and media covers the asses of themselves and the asses of the owner class until institutional legitimacy is completely obliterated.

    You have a guy in the government the very government that odds are knows exactly what these are but legitimacy has been so ravaged by everything from the Iraq wars to covid to epstein to the fake outrage at the dead CEO that he thinks giving a missile to Officer Trucknuts is a solution because he represents some kind of authority that is atomized out and isn't part of the larger untrustworthy authority.

    Like they are grasping at straws of legitimacy here. Appealing to God knows what shred of structure left.
