i should be writing
plane was hit at about 3km, so within range of even MANPADS and pantsir guns, but it was a bit misty so IR and photocontrast guidance is out. azeris suspect command guided pantsir missile, that is 57e6 or similar, which has some 7x less explosive than buk missile used in mh17 shootdown
shilkas are still good against drones so i suspect they do use them. ukrainians use everything down to 12.7mm and 7.62mm machine guns for this purpose
pilot thought it was bird strike and that’s why it was reported as such initially
not sure if pilots discussed it with kazakh or only russian ground control, so take it with a grain of salt
mutant chickens from girkin’s biolab
i think that crash gave plenty of notice
they don’t have anything like that, if you mean programmable airburst ammunition
irregular, non-circular holes make me think fragments more than anything else
birdstrike by Su-34 or Mig-29
wdym not result of SAM
this is just claymore-shaped MON-200
NIST peanut butter is the (analytical) standard, all tests are done with that stuff as a reference (or part of reference). That’s why it’s so expensive, it has to be very consistent
they made juicero for backyard chemistry. for what this thing can do, all you need is thermometer, hotplate with magnetic stirrer + some standard glassware. this already avoids problems with damage to and leaching from plastics by corrosive solvents, allows for normal air-free techniques to be used (needs inert gas) and is several times cheaper. there are some weird design choices (if you are already using syringes, why not use syringe pump?? why use heat exchanger instead of putting heating element in water bath? etc etc) i’m yet to see procedures in human-readable form. there’s little emphasis on purification nevermind analytics. i guess they made daraprim only because nurdrage did multipart instructional video on it
four thieves do not include any quality control, and plugging a jar to arduino does not grant you expertise needed. they rely heavily on intermediates access to which can be restricted pretty badly, and pricing of these is plain wrong because their scraper mixes up weights of amounts sold. frankly i doubt they made it at all, and any of these syntheses has great potential of killing people who try to do it. take from a dude who sits in medicinal chemistry for 30+ years now https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/anarchist-drugs-again
if you can get their procedures, i’d like to review them because the way they make these, i guarantee there will be incredible footguns included
sovaldi is priced like this because they can, once it goes off patent price will drop significantly, drop one zero at least. japanese price is 300$ because govt negotiated it and covers most of it (99%). price for egyptian govt is 900$
lots of chronic diseases we have today are either degenerative or genetic, so it requires new fancy tools like gene therapy to rework lots of cellular biology at very low level. small molecule drugs can manage these to some degree, but these were a thing for like 50, 70 years now so that’s why these are a thing
isn’t that where jack teixeira files were leaked
Making cure when everyone else makes a treatment means that you can undercut everyone and eat their lunch so incentives are there
part of the problem is that developing treatments is easier and can rely on more conservative, safer assumptions while cures require more early stage risky research
besides chronic diseases that do have cures aren’t considered chronic anymore. the rest are problems with insurance that doesn’t want to cover single expensive cure over cheaper but recurrent treatment that might add up to more
i still think it’s white HTS flag, there would be little reason for taliban flag to be there https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Syria
that shahada is written more like that on saudi flag and less like taliban, at least that’s how it looks to me (not an arabic speaker)
or maybe they dgaf and need to pull a lot of people through
wait doesn’t gepard use AHEAD, what was all that fuss with swiss refusing reexport of that special ammo
