>>64704131I don't have the patience to keep explaining, so I'll let GPT do it for me, enjoy (you have reading comprehension below the level of AI)----It means this general was not an isolated failure, but one of many whom Abraham Lincoln removed from command over time.More precisely:“the last” the most recent case, at the end of the sequence“in a long line” there had been numerous others before him“of generals that Lincoln dismissed” commanders Lincoln lost patience with and formally removed

These movies don't even try to have internal consistency with their combat and power dynamics.Movie 1: Navi have superior genetics and bodies but 3 different battles demonstrate that the training and tech of humans gives them a massive advantage. In the final battle Navi get a decent surprise off but then start getting whooped, it's only when nature itself turns against the humans that the Navi win. Movie 2:Recoms now exist, with the the superior weapons and tactical training combined with navi genetic superiority they should be unstoppable.NoNeyteri goes angry mom mode and kills them even easier than she did normal humans in the last movie. Not one recom or normal human scores a kill in this entire movie outside quaritch killing jake's son.Movie 3:See movie 2James Cameron is a fucking idiot.
>>64704513>Earth is literally not sending their best.This is the main plothole that has pissed me off since 2009. It is made very clear that without unobtanium earth "dies". This is said multiple times.If the entire planet is dependent on this shit getting mined it would be a global security issue. The best of the best of the best would be sent AFTER every known navi location was nuked from orbit.The wiki says nukes are banned by some treaty, apparently one that is enforced by people who are okay with the planet dying? And these people haven't been guillotined yet?It seems like cameron figured out the retarded nature of this for avatar 2 and decided to instead make it about the rich living forever... but in that same movie they double down but saying earth is dying and they're now trying to make pandora the new home for humanity so what the fuck? Why are we fucking around with "wars in Venezuela and nigeria" when this shit is going on?
>>64704525>It is made very clear that without unobtanium earth "dies". This is said multiple times.By who? Lying corpos?Maybe you're misinterpreting the urgency, or even necessity. I figured it was just very profitable. >If the entire planet is dependent on this shit getting mined it would be a global security issueAnd since it's evidently not taken that seriously, maybe your interpretation was incorrect?
>>64704537>By who? Lying corpos?https://youtu.be/J8n8E0oOiRc?t=102 https://youtu.be/MskCuVzqslE It's also said by Jake, Neyeri, quaritch, and one of the redditor scientists in the first movie on separate occasions
>>64704525I would imagine that the RDA would greatly prefer that the Earth government not come and sort their shit out for them, so they're suppressing news of their losses. We're also shown a very large number of RDA wins, just never against anyone who matters.
>>64704555To be clear: The idea that a "corporation" would be in charge of this task at all is absurd. Every government on earth would be dumping every penny they could into this.

I am trying to draw a cowboy type of guy with a S&W 29 magnum pistol thing, but I dont know how experienced shooters typically hold and shoot it. Can you guys give me some references if you happened to own this gun?I know its probably a meme gun in the gun community but its so cool
Then one handed hold is pretty easy, the target grips are shaped so your thumb naturally rests when the thumb groove at the top. Shooting a Model 29 one handed isn’t actually too bad if you’re not shooting super heavy loads and especially if you have experience.
>>64702675>>64702681that's how I do it. As high on the grip as I can based upon the physical characteristics of the grip itself. IE a wooden grip like he posted your hand molds into the thumb cut dents in the grip etc. whereas a rubber pachmyer I can hold it up even higher.

I want to learn leatherwork so I can make a pocket sheath for a more traditional puukko.
The Peltonen website has some unique sheath options available. I might have to pick up some orange and M05 plastic sheaths.
>>64703957Knives too, quite a few combinations.
I made a leather belt attachment thing for the kydex sheath that came with my big goofy amazon.consoom bowie. I think it turned out pretty nice.

>>64703045Reading the book, it is interesting how everyone thought they were doing jackshit and not being used to the best of their ability, and then at the end Godfather and Fick talk about how they really were the tip of the spear confusing the enemy's command through their rapid advance through the country, but the guys on the ground couldn't understand the bigger picture.I never did more research into it, but I wonder if that was true.
>>64704439>I remember, for instance, the memoirs of a low-ranking officer in Napoleon's army. At one point he describes taking part in an engagement near some hamlet. For weeks he identified this action by the name of the hamlet, until he suddenly discovered that it was in the battle of Austerlitz that he had fought.

>>64703387"Most imperial worlds are comfy" and "most Imperial citizens live like shit" can both be true because one is averaging the living conditions of total number of planets while the other is averaging the quality of living of the population and the population of a Hive World can be greater than dozens of other Imperial planets.

Now that the Chink chimpout over the $11B Taiwan weapons deal and most recent numbers print from their imploding economy has wrapped up, I want to tally some numbers for the 'explicitly presented as the largest-ever military exercise around Taiwan'. This exercise was also explicitly stated as a blockade exercise vs the strike exercises of 2024.Taiwanese sources have reported that >6:00 a.m. Dec 29 - 6:00 a.m. Dec 30, 130 PLA aircraft detected. 14 PLAN warships + 14 CCG vessels.>6:00 a.m. Dec 30 – 6:00 a.m. Dec 31 Aircraft: 77 PLA aircraft detected. 17 PLAN warships + 8 CCG vessels.What's so damming to me is that the area of operations for the exercises were 2x larger than that of the 2024, and 3x that of the 2022 Pelosi chimpout. Yet there were less aircraft than in 2024, 130 in a single day vs 150 in a single day. The sorties also started slow, taking till the mid afternoon to get to peak detection rates as per Taiwan MOD. So this is where I really get to the main bit. A blockade requires substantially more sorties, I'm talking 48 sorties just to get 8 planes on CAP for 24h. Yet the PLA did only 130 in a day, barely enough for a dozen planes to be on 24h CAP. There's just no excuse. You NEED to have CAP or else US and Jap planes can just sneak in and rape you. The second day is so pathetically bad with 77 aircraft so I don't even wanna talk about it, just assume it's 2x worse.So you've got what is >supposed to be the biggest exercise ever>covering an area 2x bigger than previous ones>supposedly have 1600 aircraft stationed east of Beijing>yet can only muster up 130 sorties 6 hours laterImplessive. My theory is that the PLA airforce not only has a low readiness, but the logistics are so fucked that they actually can't turn around airplanes fast enough with things as basic as fuel.picrel is taiwan missilehttps://news.usni.org/2025/12/31/china-wraps-justice-mission-taiwan-blockade-drillsComment too long.

Bumping my own shit but we also saw 3 out of their 4 commissioned LHAs do a parade formation but then nothing after that. Barely any ASW patrols with the helo wing or anything to suggest they could do any amphibious duties.>>64702909My 2¢ indeed.
>>64702859Their economy is already doing worse than during the wuhan flu so I'm looking to see how much worse it can get.
>>64703061Being a trade partner back then did not mean what it does today.
Do the chinese elite really want taiwan that badly? Seems like a very high risk game where you're gonna get FUCKED badly if you lose.Plus if they launch nukes i'm pretty sure the whole world is going to genocide the chinese.
The larger and more aggressive boundaries set are part of brinkmanship, the appearance of an increasing Chinese threat is just as important as actuallt creating the threat/Thread
