Dude they all make stick machines, Harbor Freight just sucks lol.Mig is for shitdicks who can't actually weld. Be a man, use SMAW.

Acceptable margin of error for calls for fires in the US is 10m. You can easily get that with 3 satellites. But based on this chart at least 4 will be up in the region at any given time, so it'll be fine. GPS' 26 sat coverage is used for like 3D modelling of construction with a precision of .001", slightly more precise than Slav danger close.Not as wide a net as GPS, less satellites, but more than enough to get a bomb generally on target
Again, having the ability to get 4 satellites in a area when you only need 3 is a luxury the US has that Russia doesn't. Basically agree for the most part but want to expound. GPS has a lot more processing power, that's true. But to say GLONASS can't hit the broadside of a barn is disenguous. It's more in the middle. And generally is spread thinner due to having less sats online. But it is still lethal, and cannot be discounted when a TU-22M drops its load from 50'000 feet.Acceptable margin of error for calls for fires in the US is 10m.

Pig is propagandizing and not giving the sober truth on the matter. He's making things seem FAR more lopsided than they actually are. A satellite guided bomb is a massive threat to any army.
In his T-14 video he repudiates the adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" with WELL IF YOU DON'T LIKE INNOVATION THEN STOP USING FONEDavid knowing anything technical would be a shock.
I'm a welder, I say it a lot but it bears repeating. While SOMETIMES you just need to toss out the old, because it's completely obsolete, take, I don't know, steam powered cars, even then, you still often times will carry a lot of knowledge over from previous projects and iterations. And something old that "just works" even if it's less efficient than the new thing, has one thing very important about it: safety. You know it inside and out. All it's pros and cons. You know how far you can push it. New tech is very skittish in comparison.

I suppose this philosophy passes for some practical engineering wisdom in his head, but for me it was the only evidence I needed to see conclusively that the whole military analyst act is really just an act and he's some hearts of iron playing midwit at best. Add that to his reddit moderator style snarkasm and voice that I can only describe as "obviously fat" and you almost have a perfect case for capitalism lifting even the most painfully useless people to impressive heights. I still hope he falls off though.
Anecdotal evidence: one of my colleagues used to work in gas extraction. He went on a business trip to Russia about 10 years ago, and since his GPS also had GLONASS functionality built in he decided to test them both while out in the fields. In his experience, GLONASS was off the mark compared to GPS by between 15 and 75 meters most of the time, and sometimes it took a while to get signal in the first place. Of course, this was with a civilian model (one would expect the military stuff to be better), but on the other hand I don't think the Russians have really improved that system much in the past 10 years of sanctions and procurement skullduggery.Again, having the ability to get 4 satellites in a area when you only need 3 is a luxury the US has that Russia doesn't.

That philosophy is perfectly valid since innovation for its own sake can be a waste of time and resources, but first it requires you to look at more than just the product itself. Sometimes the requirements changing mean the thing you're talking about "breaks", in the sense that it doesn't do what it's required of it anymore. The T-72 chassis is definitely way too long in the tooth, and it's overdue for replacement with something built from the ground up to perform the functions that have been tacked on to it over the decades (incidentally, so does the Abrams, which is why we're moving to the M1E3). You could argue that the T-14 was too ambitious for what the Russians can actually do, but you can't fault them for wanting to replace their old tanks with something that would take advantage of new technologies.In his T-14 video he repudiates the adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" with WELL IF YOU DON'T LIKE INNOVATION THEN STOP USING FONE

I don't want to PL but I've seen first hand how a few handshakes at a golf course or (ugh) a guided tour of some fancy new lab/production facility/operations center/etc led to the introduction of unnecessary new products or services to an engineering project that added an amount of complexity that the team involved simply did not have the means to handle, resulting in delays, errors from miscommunication, etc. On the other hand there's no shortage of examples of organizational inertia preventing desperately needed changes from being adopted in a timely manner, which results in roughly the same problems of engineers doing damage control or solving issues like parts/documentation no longer being available, which also wastes valuable time and money.I'm a welder, I say it a lot but it bears repeating.

The guy has a whole sectione called “the-cope-gallery” which is literally screenshots of people calling his and his buddies vids trash
I believe the doggo is called “Cheems”.First: it's not a pedobear, it's a squished shiba inu... thing.
I remember stumbling across a video of his on Bioshock and thinking it was fairly good, then I checked his recent videos and they were all about his trooning out. Needless to say I noped out of there.Reading this made me remember a video essayist named "Leadhead", (powerword: Tripp Evans) who coincidentally was also a gay man obsessed with femboys who also happened to have a pig persona, and trooned out a year or two ago (and has made 4 or 5 videos about his troonery). Seeing how similar their paths are, it's only a matter of time before Davina reveals her true self.![]()
Don’t forget faggot anime crap like Azure Lane and Girl’s Frontline.As it seems to be turning out, somewhat. I think the Ukraine war brought a lot of drones in wondering what the fuck a Javelin missile was, that and War Thunder players, the most cursed community.
How long until someone points out that the Ukrainians use an AK-47 derivative (in fact basically the same version that Russia is also using). Even that Malyuk thing that Ukraine is/was interested in is just a bullpup AK-74 iirc.David hates anything Russian at his point due to him being part of NAFO.
He's a white Brit, he can't help but apologizing for his "white devilry"You're talking about the Fall of Civilizations Youtube channel, aren't you? I distinctly remember that bit from his video on the conquest of the Incan Empire, it was pretty annoying how he muddied up an otherwise excellently researched video with a bunch of Current Year whining about "Muh Natives," and "Muh Colonialism." He did the same thing with his Easter Island video.
Yep, he is probably afraid of being called racist for accurately explaining the utter savagery of pre-Spanish America.Sure am and had the same problem with Easter Island. I also dislike his tendency in his Inca and Aztec videos to downplay the savagery. You can't really get a picture of the situation with out the culture shock of barbarity the Spaniards walked into and their outrage. You want me to feel bad for the guy who beheaded children sent to ask for peace? I don't care if it's 1 or 200, you should be able to say 'Fuck these guys' instead of implying the Spanish were 5d chess playing racists who exaggerated for the benefit of future racists.
Yeah, Fall of Civilizations guy is great for about 95% then he'll fumble it when the EVIL whites arrive.... just go into knowing that and you're good.Yes, he actually goes deep into the politics of Meso-American society, the first 1.5 half hours are about the rise of Montezuma. But again, fumbles it at the end by down playing it was the Tlaxcalans who slaughtered Tenochtitlan for 3 days while the Spanish could only hole up. and being weepy over the loss of the Aztecs. Irritating presentation, still good info.
Yep, sometimes troops just make shit work, no matter that the manual says.Anyway, I think the Chieftan struck a really good tone with his soft rebuttal of Ian's video on the infamous Jadotsville Bren shot. Says Ian's correct about pretty much everything, but explains that correct doesn't really matter to soldiers and how the Irish loved firing Brens single shot. Then drops the absolute ancient head knowledge that No.4(T)s were battalion level at the time and there's no evidence a sniper was even present at the battle. So in the context of a choice between an off hand shot with a FAL or a bipod supported Bren, by troops who love the Bren more than they probably should, it becomes much more plausible.
Another example is gun lubricants. Some people get a nice refurbished M1 Garand and ask what to grease it with. The go to is Mobile 1 synthetic grease. However some people get all huffy and say "well I want the original whale oil or similar " and the correct response is "uhh no, the modern stuff has DECADES of materials sciences advances behind it, you should be thanking God they don't make em like they used to in this instance"In his T-14 video he repudiates the adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" with WELL IF YOU DON'T LIKE INNOVATION THEN STOP USING FONE

Hmm it's probably gotten better as Russia has launched a new satellite generation from them till now. However this does shoe that GLONASS isn't at GPS sub meter accuracy yet and may never be if Russia is using it mainly for vehicle navigation and the like.He went on a business trip to Russia about 10 years ago, and since his GPS also had GLONASS functionality built in he decided to test them both while out in the fields. In his experience, GLONASS was off the mark compared to GPS by between 15 and 75 meters most of the time, and sometimes it took a while to get signal in the first place.

Was it this?There was a YT channel that had kind of an Anti-NaFO/Anti LP discussion and I forget their names.
It happened in the last three months or so if that helps.
I wouldn't be that harsh. Ian's conclusions are perfectly in line with what the movie shows, no one would do that, but it's so specific the film makers must have misheard something, Nick really contributed by dropping first hand knowledge that I haven't seen in conversation. The movie's still wrong, but wrong in a different way (possibly). The revelation that No.4(T)s weren't organic to the company, along with the fact the only person mentioned in the company as a marksman was a guy who won an All Army competition with irons, well now your sharpshooter dropping a FAL for a supported Bren makes sense. Movie's still wrong, but in a way that makes sense. I hate to harp on Moran, but he was in the fucking Irish Army at the same time and just kinda sat on that info while we tried to figure out what happened for years.Ian SHOULD know this buuuttt of course he's coming from a "gun gamer" perspective and of course, academic material.
So frustrating. Just remembered he also glosses over the death of Constantine XI in his Byzantines episode. I know the speech was probably fake, but you couldn't give the man his due for how he went out? Like I said, I think he just doesn't get that these things happened with no ulterior personal motive.He's a white Brit, he can't help but apologizing for his "white devilry"
>CharlemangneWas it this?
What a fucking thin-skinned little cunt.
"I refuse to take the whole thing seriously." If you don't take the whole thing seriously, then why did you make an hour long video and then a half-hour long response video in the first place?
Me love you long timeWas it this?
Of all the people to seethe over, they decide to go for fuckin' Perun?>Charlemangne
He's a retard NrX faggot with an ego the size of Russia and a boner for Putin. Also, most of the video is seething over Perun, not LP.
Hi, LazerPig!
We don't actually care all that much about your name, although we most certainly would prefer to have it correct. But it being correct or not doesn't change the contents of this thread, your failure as a would-be "historian", the fact you're a thin-skinned little shit, or the furry vore porn you've commissioned.
