Depending on the explosive that should not help. Shaped charges are most effective if they explode a little distance away. It might help if it is a shrapnel based explosive.
Still you wouldn’t probably need a shaped charge to penetrate the armor on a BMP-2 which may explain this approach.
Edit: looking at it more, there is some kind of external armor assembly on the sides, but it doesn’t look like ERA tiles.
That would make sense if it wasn’t mounted in an upright position. If it was just a transport, I imagine it would be hanging off the side.
I get the sentiment but… When sun isn’t shining the negative prices cause problem for baseline power producers who need to turn off their power plants to avoid the zero to negative power prices.
This causes the power prices to become volatile, since the investments for the power plants that run during the night need to be covered during the night only.
Eventually though the higher price volatility will encourage investments into either demand side adjustability or energy storage systems. This will play out in energy only markets.
The other alternative is to implement a capacity market, which will divide the cost of the baseline production across different production hours by paying producers more for guaranteed production capacity.
Was the person shooting hurt?
I feel like I’m missing a lot of background here…
That’s fair, I honestly don’t know if that would have occurred to me.
Oh boy that ending was brutal, they were toying with him.
You need to post this into the SCP-wiki my man.
I would have a hard time tossing a crumpled paper ball further than a good paper airplane would go.
I just started listening through the series and all I can think about is how epic the TV show would be.
What an insightful analysis. Thanks for taking the time to type it out, you made me want to watch ds9 again.
Bank first, then SD is good for both max play time and battery health, as the charging of the SD battery results in both energy loss as heat and minute degradation of the battery.
Many wrong answers here. Most devices have what’s called a power path. When a device is powered via a cable and the battery is full, the device battery is bypassed and the electronics powered via the charging port directly.
There are always losses in both charging and discharging a battery. Discharging the power bank first and the SD battery second avoids the charging loss from the SD battery.
You should avoid keeping either battery at sub 20% state-of-charge for long periods, if possible.
Although not something I could see myself doing, I don’t judge. People can be too busy for dating, out of practice, too awkward or just wanting to cross off something off their bucket list. At the very least it ain’t my business.
I have found Linux to have excellent HW support for all older hardware. Only notable exception is fingerprint readers. Granted, it’s been years since I tried gaming.
Probably to collect data on comparative performance.
I know.
The permits, policies, regulation and political apparatuses which Rand so despises are legal fictions which allow a small group of people control, who gets to use what resources and how.
Currencies, fractional reserve banking, patents and land ownership are similar legal fiction, which allow a small group to control who gets to use what resources and how.
If I want to sell razor blades to a Gillette razor, I will get sued for patent infringement. Is their gatekeepping somehow more morally valid than the politician’s who gives a tax break to Gillette’s competitor since their production line is in his city?
I was trying to humorously point out, that the quoted part of Rand’s text could be read almost as a socialist opinion, where the value created arises from the worker and not the owners.
It seems to me this passage speaks against the bankers, intellectual property owners, monopolists, land owners and the like. All gate keepers of resources.
Perhaps Atlas is actually someone else than Rand thought.
