Kinda but actual table top air fryers do have notable advantages over a convection oven, mainly the fact that they take only like 3-4 minutes to preheat and take way less power, very useful for individual meals, plus since they're bowling air directly onto the food in such a small space they're just a lot faster than a convection oven which, unless you're cooking a fuckton of food, is blowing the air around a mostly empty oven.
Plus they're super easy to clean which is nice.

Why don't modern rifles have a cleaning rod along the barrel anymore with a cleaning kit in the stock/grip?

Seems like a pretty inelegant solution to give the soldier these separate maintenance packages when it all could be mounted on the gun, easily and quickly accessed when needed, and never misplaced/lost.

Pull thrus were the norm in the vast majority of European states since the 1880s. Even the ones like Germany and Russia whose rifles had attached cleaning rods. A major exception is the French, but their rifle cleaning kits during WW1 dated all the way back to the Napoleonic Wars.
>>
>>64689973
Went to buttstock sectional rods starting with the Krag. Then the Springfield. Then the surprise adoption of the M1917 (the most widely issued rifle in American service during the war) had them doing things the British way with pull thrus.

Then back to buttstock cleaning rods until we ditched fixed stocks on M16s.

idk for sure but assuming you're talking about infantry with rifles and not backline dudes with carbines the army that initially went to Korea was underequipped, badly trained, poorly conditioned, and not terribly well motivated.

Pull thrus are easy enough to improvise.

Archery is one of the most masculine, nationalistic, and attractive things you can do. It also builds your back like crazy. I've been doing it for 8 years, and without weight training I was already able to lat pulldown 285. My pulling strength is wildly stronger compared to the push chain it's crazy. There's also spiritual and primal aspect to it. Firearms are too "human", but bows are like the bridge between nature and human intelligence. The red injuns didn't have archery gods but believed the skill itself was a gift from ancient spirits. From that pov you're basically not even a man if you can't shoot a bow. Just a subhuman slave that can't get food for himself. 2 obvious benefits are hunting, and a shtf scenario where being silent could mean the difference between life and death. Even in blue states it's perfectly legal to practice in your yard. I like to go outside during the summer while shirtless and no shoes on as women walk by to stare at me. I purposely put my back towards the sidewalk and I catch them taking photos.
Get yourself a bow and start training.

Believe me, that was my first option but the reproductions aren't made anymore and I can't find any used. I spoke to a Chinese retailer about the model TWI used to make. TWI sold off the rights to another company, FCW, that has repeatedly pushed the preorder delivery date back over the course of a year. They're now expecting a summer 2026 delivery date. AFAIK there aren't any US distributors planning on importing them so you have to do it yourself if they ever deliver.

>and that there isn't any form of armor that can improve anything's survivability?
This one is actually true though. Armor matters so little today that the US Navy built the top half of their next-gen destroyer out of balsa wood.
>>
>>64690027
Armour is ineffectual against missiles, sadly. You need a ridiculous amount of armour to stop an AShM sized warhead, and if you tried to field a massive warship that is large enough to support that armour, all your peers can field a somewhat larger missile for a tiny fraction of the cost that will happily punch through that armour. Not to mention that some things like radar panels are impossible to armour, and other systems like VLSs are technically possible to protect but impractical to the degree required to survive a missile hit, so taking a missile hit is liable to cause a missile kill even if the ship can limp back to a friendly port for repairs.

As for missile defense, the big difference between now and the 1930s is that you don't need all the defensive capability on the ship being targeted. Having a bunch of smaller ships with redundant sensors and their own missiles which can all defend each other when operating together is superior to putting all your eggs in one battleship shaped basket, because several ships in a taskforce each need to be individually mission killed to disable the entire taskforce, and those ships can disperse to do independent operations which gives them a huge amount of flexibility that a single battleship lacks.

The only reason to have a bigger ship is if you literally cannot efficiently do the job with smaller ships (as is the case with fleet aircraft carriers), but the fancy battleship is planned to have a bunch of VLSs that can go on almost anything, plus some heavier missiles which can comfortably fit into a cruiser sized hull, plus lasers that were planned to go on DD(X), plus a railgun ala what was planned for the Zumwalt, plus some command capability which again could fit into a cruiser just fine, plus a radar ripped straight off a Burke. None of these things require a battleship sized hull.

>That graph
Very clever comparison.
Even if we account for quality or experience, it does show the Navy needs to get its shit together.
>>
>>64690057
>>64690103
When you all-in on sacrificing protection because it can't effectively counter or negate an opponent's high-end offensive capabilites, The addition of an asset effectively protected against an opponent's low-end offensive capabilites will increase strategic and tactical diversification, redundancy, and dispersion far more than simply increasing the qualities of your current capabilites.

Which is why I argue that if Trump's "battleships" are not capable of keeping up or even outrunning our CVN then it's significantly less useful than it could be.

There's multiple Patlabor universes/continuities. The first OAV series and TV series are similar but completely separate, and the movies/further OAVs build off of each, except when they do some timeline shit and branch off from one continuity halfway through.

tl;dr: It's even worse than you thought.

Russia has done it again with the new 120km Tornado-S guided missiles employed en masse on Gulyaypole.
Longer range than the Himars, heavier payload than the Himars, even has anti-jamming features where it picks a different path to the target if it senses too much interference.

A castle would be a cool place to hold your wedding, so sure, I can see that happening.

>>64689033
It's locally sourced stone and period style masonry. It's not maybe the sexiest castle ever, but it's appropriate and functional for a smaller military garrison of this kind. You could maybe slap on an outer layer of white masonry to make it look more smooth and uniform, but I think this looks nicer and has more character.

>>64689396
It's largely been a semi-hobby project, some professors and scholars decided that it would just be a really cool thing to do in their off-time, but also that it would be a nice example of practical archeology which would help give some insight on how to do masonry for antique buildings like these (many original ones need reparation work).

Being done by a smaller group of people in their free time, with some occasional volunteers, it's of course taken a lot of time. Back in the day, with a full force of paid carpenters, masons, etc, you could have gotten this kind of small castle done in a couple of years.
>>
>>64689396
There would have been tradesmen and craftsmen that could have been hired, but that costs money.
A landlord could also have their serfs work on it, but that would have used up the labor they owed and would have then had to be paid to work the fields.
So yes it could have been done faster, for a price.

My first thought is that NK was long considered the junior partner of the USSR and China, and was content with sitting quietly in the background learning from borrowed technical expertise and using it's intelligence apparatus to uncover the fuckups its allies were hiding and taking notes of how not to do things. At the end of the day, most of the events listed in this thread have a foundation of the USSR having no idea what it was doing and doing it anyway.

No quite. The USSR often did things, found out they were incredibly dangerous to people. . . and then decided to just keep doing them anyway because who cares about those prisoners/Siberians peasants/random minority.
On top of that, they cultivated an extremely dangerous 'not my fucking problem' attitude to everything.

The exact same 'culture' exists in China. The results became too visible which why they had to destroy LiveLeak
