Blind Rasputin posted:I actually wondered after seeing it if SAM missiles utilized so,e sort of flachette technology to destroy planes, if they don’t they sh ups because it looked loving rad. Not all SAMs of course, but many have a prox fuze where they either pre-planned detonate even if they are on path to hit the aircraft directly or they sometimes have a system such that if they sense they're getting closer and closer, but then the distance widens (i.e. about to overshoot or fly past), the warhead will detonate. This is typically done in a less fantastic way than portrayed in the movie, using something like a scored/pre-cut blast-frag sleeve in the missile. Here's an example warhead from the missile fired from a Buk (SA-11/17) system.  Here's an old video of Patriot PAC-2 family missiles doing something similar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k-pBXw9kR0 Others require an actual strike on the target to trigger detonation. The Stinger missile currently works that way, though they are being upgraded to have a proximity fuse. Stingers self-destruct after a set travel distance so as to not have supersonic javelins full of sensitive components and explosives flying blindly well beyond their intended engagement range.

My brother-in-law bought this dumb narrative hook, line & sinker, because it was sold by a former commercial pilot and conspiracy theorist on YouTube in Germany. That a SU-25 wasn't designed to operate at 30,000 feet, or intercept something flying at 800kph head-on with its cannon didn't matter.

Didn't Russia also change their version of events like 5 times? I thought they ended up on "yeah it was a SAM but it was a Ukrainian SAM" or something

The dumbest fucks around when I worked the helldesk at uni for beer money were 1. medical professors 2. law professors. Sure there were some dumb pieces of ambulatory meat in other departments but those two stood out like the end of a hockey stick plot. e: lest we forget, a certain presidential candidate who is pretty much one of the greates neurosurgeons ever and also believes the Bible literally. I just look on them as some variation of idiot savants these days.

lol their are some genuinely loving stupid lawyers at my school who have drunk some type of kool aid and can barely communicate with regular human beings. Not because they're discussing complex topics mind you. It's because they're fully loving detached from reality

Being a lawyer is %50 knowing what papers to file and when and %50 actually filing them. 80% of that is done by your office's para-legals.

It depends largely on your field of work.

My last name takes just a little fiddling to be a another word for erection. I put that on my turret chicken plate with some vinyl letters. A sergeant major saw me in the turret at camp victory and yelled “what the gently caress is that doing on there?” “It’s my name, I ran out of letters sergeant major!” I replied as sincerely as I could. He looked at my name tape, showed no emotion, said nothing, and walked away. I couldn’t tell if he was trying not to laugh, thought I was an idiot, or both.
