Can of silver paint ready for when the inevitable road rage kicks in.

Spain probably remembered what happens when you don’t outbreed. You’d think Austria would’ve remembered too since the Hapsburgs were also called the House of Austria.

Most of the world has spectrum regulators for that sort of thing, it isn’t only a US thing. MPs aren’t really the people who would be investigating unless you live in some authoritarian regime where the police and federal regulatory bodies are commingled.

I could be wrong but I can’t think of an example where a military regulates spectrum in any meaningful way and a quick web search turns up nothing.

Let you switch lanes?

As they say in Rome, carpe viam. Don’t ask for permission, just start moving your car towards the other fuckers. They’ll move if they prefer not to have scratches on their car.

Oh also you’re gonna wanna drive a shitbox in case they decide to tank those scratches.

Pretty sure he’s a Tellarite.

Also the british don’t grumble, they whinge.

Who says we aren’t? Electronic counter measures and electronic counter counter measures are a large part of modern warfare.

It’s a cat and mouse game.

Probably one of the spectrum regulators will show up (the FCC in the US) not MPs.

Steppes are just large grasslands without forest so yeah, they can exist pretty much anywhere. Technically the Great Plains are a steppe/prairie combo.

Possibly but you could just put any radio signal up for a decoy, you don’t need something this fancy. Radar is just radio waves. The fancy part is collimation of the beam and sensing of the return beam. That’s what costs money.

Interestingly enough, this project was originally licensed under the MIT license, but Motti was advised that said license does not protect physical hardware, so it changed to the CERN-OHL-PT license. Should you elect to build your own unit, be aware that the frequencies it operates in are almost assuredly highly regulated in your legal jurisdiction.

Also be aware of anti radiation munitions if you decide to operate one of these in a warzone. Radarmen have very short battlefield lifetimes because turning on a radar without lots of electronic countermeasures (hell even with countermeasures) is basically like turning on a spotlight that says “blow me up”.

Here in colombia they say “Di whisky” which means “say whiskey”.

Reed is a curmudgeon. Can’t be happy unless he’s complaining.

Doubtful. That thing was traveling three times faster than the fastest meteorite we’ve recorded entering the atmosphere. It probably vaporized almost as soon as it took off since 900 kilos of steel is nothing, ablatively speaking, at those speeds in sea level air pressure.

Maybe Haircut Lapinski was irrational.

The problem is that someone somewhere will give them guns and to deter those bad actors you’re going to want a fleet of killbots yourself.

There’s always an asshole thinking of how to use tech to kill someone.

Fireball packing in a room is a classic wizard recreational math problem.
