I remember that post specifically because about the time he wrote it a (now very very ex) mate of mine went into British army intelligence and pretty much overnight turned into one of those people.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Liz Warren is just about the worst candidate we could put up against Trump. I like her politics, don’t get me wrong. But Trump will crush her. We need someone that can metaphorically punch trump in the nose over and over again. That will be really hard to do, the problem with that man is punching him is like punching a bag of mouldy potatoes - you can't make it look any worse than it already is.

I've just checked this with google images (and I wish I hadn't, jesus) - he is a man who cannot have a picture taken of him without him pulling a face like a 3 year old. Seriously, try and find one.

That poo poo is debilitating and so easy to bloody fix - way too many people I've known over the years that went military that have basically the same problem.

Every time he pulls that wobbly face because he's been humiliated he pretty much sits in the White House and doesn't do anything for a week. Breaking his head like that continuously is your best chance to at least get him to shut the gently caress up.

Oh god, I was bored so I did some rough calculations on the border wall (my arithmetic is awful so I might have missed a zero somewhere). If you built it out of strakes the advertised height and depth (8.2M) and they were box steel sections 10cm x 10cm that were 0.5cm thick (seemed sensible and my local foundry makes them), you need $4B of mild steel (going by the local rate in my city in the UK, I live in steel central) and ~3% of your total mild steel output (on 2017 figures) for a year to do it, covering the official length of the border. That was a really naive, conservative, back of the envelope calculation though. I've just started going through the definition of the USA/Mexico border - the "Treaty of Limits". Borders and map making are really interesting and also complex as all hell, and the fractal nature of measuring them is something you get taught as a young budding mathematician. For problems like that I generally bump up the naive value by like 3x to compensate for the on the ground routing and nature's hatred of people like me making simple estimates. Basically the raw materials alone would cost you a NASA, and the construction cost is going to be 10x that minimum. I didn't even look at the cost of concrete, fuel, shipping, wages and buying all the land you don't own. Lol, jesus. You literally can't build this thing even if most of you wanted to.

Suicide Watch posted:It's probably a database with IMEI numbers tied to owners of the phone plans. In the US don't you need an ID to purchase a SIM card? Someone else may know more but wouldn't any country that requires an ID to purchase a SIM card be able to do this? It's really easy to figure out a track on a person from even crap data (just the accelerometer output is enough to define a specific person and know what they're up to), bunch of good papers online about it, e.g. here, there's shitloads of research available publicly. "Big data" is a problem and nobody has figured out how to deal with it.

not caring here posted:100mm box with 5 mm wall x 8 meters long, if you can get to the fence with a rope and a 1976 Suzuki Samurai, you could loop the fence up high and just tow bend it down to the ground. Or snap it off. I'd go with spraying sulphuric acid at the base, there's no way they'd get replaced fast enough to deal with it. Stainless would cost like 100x more.

Vasudus posted:I don't know how accurate it really was but there was some article I read after trump posted a picture of the slats w/ the SUV some engineering guy that worked on major civil projects tried to price it out. It came out to like 3500 bucks a slat if they were properly rated for the weather/soil/etc. It would consume almost a third of all US steel production for several years and I think a quarter of the entire world's Zinc output. You would also have to build multiple concrete facilities on-site because there's no way you can haul that much. Not including a penny of profit or overhead it was already in the many hundreds of billions just for the materials alone. Yeh, it's utterly nuts, my estimate didn't have any bracing or foundations etc in it, and I have no idea how to even account for workers. And that dumbass guess topped out about $50B. Which considering all the stuff I didn't add in is going to be like $500B. Which considering maintenance will be more like $2T for the budget to construction completion. And god help you if you want to use an interesting alloy for it, because that increases everything a huge amount because the US doesn't have that production capability.

I'm watching Trump talk about the wall, apart from the normal word salad, has anyone mentioned to him that all the "nasty" stuff he keeps talking about all comes in by boat? Off the top of my head, the Coast Guard, JIATF South and West might have something to say about it as it's their literal job. This is just getting mental now.

Professor Bling posted:I'm in IL so gently caress me if it actually matters but I'm not voting for anyone that doesn't at the least support rent control, universal healthcare, and student loan amnesty/free college. I'd never be angry at you for feeling like that, and I'm not going to be a dick and try and change your mind. Largely because that's how I feel in the UK - gently caress it, go with what you feel. I don't think it'll make a whole hell of a lot of difference to the total outcome, but who cares, you can sleep at night.

Bored As gently caress posted:Oh for fucks sake. I'll be nice because I've had some very good experiences with UK police, but at the same time, you're hated for a good reason - you loving scare people. I had a really abusive partner in the past, and the police in the end took me out of there after the idiot tried to kill me and were kind as all hell. If they hadn't have been, gently caress knows what I'd have done to myself. On the other hand, you do randomly beat the poo poo out of black dudes like me, so, we don't particularly trust you. You could kinda stop with the beating, we might all change our mind about the trust thing.
