modern radar can measure speed, size, altitude of target and count turbine blades, allowing to figure out what it is. well, rotational speed of propeller in this case but logic is the same

whatever was shot down was shot by fighter jets, not gbad

the explanation that was given at the time was that drones that were assessed as armed were shot down near border (like the one that blew off roof - it was strictly speaking debris after shootdown) but decoys were allowed to crash on their own

he was a propagandist

huh i honestly had no idea, and i guessed he was very replaceable in rw propaganda machine. i heard somewhere that shapiro was also supposed to be there

i didn't even thought he was relevant anymore since 2020, he was like 2017 era chud debatelord who relied entirely on gotchas. he did toe the party line tho, so maybe some divergent rightwinger didn't like what he was doing for whatever reason. maybe it was situation like with trump shooter, probable republican that didn't particularly like epstein link, or whatever else cause there might be involved

yeah i understand that the proper thing to do would be burning Alabuga to the ground, but we're kinda not in position to do that

from what i understand, there are now tests of anti-drone systems for purpose of procurement for polish army, and today i heard there's some kind of training of polish air defense troops by ukrainians to be set up. other than that? they reacted according to doctrine, using what they had, mobilizing allied assets available in the area, could have been worse

they did, try to keep up. russia fucked off from turkey because su-24 also tends to have pilot who died, and this time it's drones only

i don't think it would be so simple and i don't think you can abstract neurons so hard, there are extrasynaptic receptors that react to concentrations of neurotransmitters outside synapses, and there are some neurotransmitters that leak out of synapses. thousands of leaking synapses can contribute to activation of some random receptor, or more than one this way. some other receptors are extrasynaptic by default and don't really have synapses, neuropeptides work like this but not only these. for gasotransmitters, effectively there's no concept of synapse. i don't think you can abstract all neurotransmitters to some one chemical messenger either, there are different ones with different half-lives, different diffusion rates, different metabolites some of which work in completely different ways. (steroids, neuropeptides, gasotransmitters, whatever lipids go into cannabinoid system, it's not just monoamines/glutamate/GABA/acetylcholine).

some receptors take multiple inputs, there are NMDA receptors that really only fire when glutamate and glycine both bind to it, and only after AMPA receptor nearby opens up first. we already know these things are important in forming of memories so it's probably a big deal. some of these receptors are ion channels, and some of these are important especially intracellular calcium

he also said that kids should watch public executions https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-death-penalty-public-executions-1873073 and was shot directly under giant banner that reads "PROVE ME WRONG"

technically it's a school shooting so not sure why conservatives care at all about it. he died like he lived, moving goalposts

maybe his neck just did that

may his name be lost to history, i wasn't sure at first and he's not relevant anymore
