I bought a giant camping cast iron skillet that covers about half my stove. It rules Immersion cooker? Rules Air Fryer? Best tater tots you gonna get. Instant Pot? It's the tits. Pretty sure everyone knows about him now, but Binging With Babish, besides doing tv and movie inspired food, also has a really accessible basics guide.

Meshka posted:Think of it as a parity of power. They have none. For every attack against American citizens the relatianion will be ten fold. Maybe attacking american personel was not the wise strategic choice on their part. Yes, because that worked so well so far in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We can kill them wholesale in new and horrifying ways- it won't change a drat thing. It just creates more fighters that will more Americans.

I have a legit question that I can't sort out myself. If we really wanted to send a signal, why didn't we just snatch him up? He wasn't travelling incognito or anything, and it's not like we don't have dudes who specialize is snatching dudes from cars right there. Like, if we really wanted to gently caress Iran, wouldn't capturing him be a better long term strategy? I mean, for the thought exercise, pretend there is one, and it wasn't drawn on a map with Sharpie.

Hexyflexy posted:You could have done that (maybe, kind of), but it'd have required a shitload of marines and transport to take them out. I.e. probably just as dumb and bad. You can't just helicopter a general out of a country, it isn't going to go well. The local military suddenly have a reason to fire all their yearly budget of rounds off in your direction. I would imagine they could have had him on a bird and out of the country in 30 minutes from hit. It wouldn't need SSE- interdict, kill the guards, snatch the dudes- your at the airport- throw that gently caress on a 60, fly them to a waiting aircraft- boom. I'm sure it wouldn't be so simple and quick, but if you are going to risk a massive escalation, why not make it worth it in the long term? Again. Maybe I'm just dumb- I just can't imagine this was a better strategic course of action than capturing him.

Bored As gently caress posted:We have soldiers stationed at the airport, along side Iraqi army and others. Who's to say that JSOC staging a snatch and grab wouldn't immediately start a firefight because Iraqi army guys have no idea who is taking the Quds Commander. Because we sure as gently caress couldn't give the Iraqis any advance warning. It could turn into a bloodbath. I disagree on the no benefit. I think it would cause more damage to Iran to have him alive. They were prepared for the eventuality of his demise- I'm sure they considered this at some point. I wasn't even thinking for a trial- just literally loving kidnap him. We are already breaking the law, it's not like you are breaking it any more or less. We don't give a gently caress about international law- if we did, we wouldn't have done this. I'm a dumb grunt, but it seems to me if you are going to fight, fight to win. If you are going to destabilize their government, loving destabilize it. The sheer chaos if we took him would achieve more than killing him would. Again, maybe I'm just not smart enough to get strategy like the adults do. As for the risk, killing him didn't lessen the risk an insider attack. Again, maybe I just have bad optics on this, because it's broke my loving brain.

mlmp08 posted:Just gonna say that it's like... way easier and less risky to shoot a missile or drop a bomb than coordinate a streetside abduction of a VIP under armed escort in a city potentially hostile to your ground forces. I'm aware, but it's not something that they haven't done a bunch before. I just think that if there was a long term "Defeat Iran" victory strategy, it would be worth the risk. I just don't get what we hoped to achieve from killing him more than escalation. E- I'm not meaning to sound dismissive, or arguementative- I just don't understand what the gently caress we are doing besides Persia Expansion pack.

Guys. Is this the "Crack. Ping!" You guys talk about? Because this is loving weird. This is the first time I've ever looked at the world around me and just been so utterly god drat angry and confused. People are buying into W's playbook again. People are Ok with this gently caress- who said he'd end the wars- expanding it because Iran finally had enough of our poo poo? Does everything happen in a loving vacuum now? Like WHAT. THE. gently caress. OVER.

I'm just so loving angry about this. People who should loving know better are supporting this. These dumb fucks don't know the cost of loving war. Maybe I'm taking it a little more to heart than I should. But, I've got loving kids. Neither were loving alive when I invaded Iraq. I miss when the world made sense to me. I'm going to have a drink and watch My Name is Earl.

Hexyflexy posted:I think I've talked to you before when you're been angry as gently caress - don't worry so much, nobody is doing an Iraq 2. Just for practical reasons, nobody could win that and it's obvious up front. Big old cold war, yeah. Till we stop being idiots. Might have been, if it was on the old G chat. It's like not even a heated angry. Like I'm just loving resigned to us committing more blood and treasure into this hole. We should have listened to Smedley.

Stultus Maximus posted:There is no legit reason beyond proliferation in general is bad. Nobody should have the loving bomb, and the more who have it, the higher the risk of someone setting off a nuclear war. The anti-proliferation stance makes sense, but that isn't the stance of most who are against it. I'm just trying to figure out the mental math that we use to decide who is allowed and who isn't

Hekk posted:Agreed. I played on an adult Rugby team for a little bit when I was younger and it is the best of soccer and football. Plus without pads you still get the poo poo knocked out of you but you are less likely to murder your family because of years of repeated head trauma, since not having a protective helmet forces you to tackle differently. I live seeing that Rugby Player react vids on YouTube. Just watching his face react to NFL hits is somehow hysterically horrifyingly humorous, and I am a terrible human being for enjoying them.

Joe Rogan is a 2nd semester Freshman. He's not as smart as he thinks he is, and is dumber than he realizes. He's also a terrible host who talks over guests and likes to chime in his expert two cents, regardless of his knowledge of the subject that he got from glossing over the wiki while high. Watching him with actual SME's, like the CIA dude is loving painful. You do not need to give everybody equal say. And Joe is doing more than giving them platform, he also propagates their views as an informative authority, and hangs out with them outside of his podcast.

zharmad posted:Since no missile has a 100% hit probability, two greatly increases the chance of a hit. Fire two missiles each with a 75% hit probability and you have a 93.75% chance that one or the other or both will hit the target. The independent chance of both hitting the target is only 56.25%. As a TOW gunner a million years ago, we were taught to always volley fire. "If it's worth shooting once, it's worth shooting twice." has applied to every weapon I've ever heard of.
