There is no Undo On That? Really?
I Am Reminded of the Pakistani Gun Makers Using Hand Tools to Make Assault Rifles
Ukrainian engineers claim they have designed a “people’s missile” that can be built in an average front garden with almost double the range of the US-supplied Himars rocket.
The missile, which uses the same technology as the German V1, is essentially a motor-powered steel tube attached to a pair of glider wings and fired from a catapult.
The anti-Russian Vidsich protest group behind the design, dubbed Trembita in Ukrainian, says it can be produced cheaply from everyday materials.
A graphic released explaining the technology shows up to three of the rockets fitting inside a one-car garage.
By Vidsich’s own admission, the “garage-made” missile will not be able to strike with the same precision as laser-guided rocket systems.
But in a swarm of 20 missiles, the new weapon will likely be able to “overcome enemy air defences and hit targets at a sufficient depth”, the group claimed.
Early videos of the weapon shared on social media appear to show its makers firing up a crude pulsating jet engine.
The use of gasoline as fuel could thrust the rocket some 140km from launch, the engineers claimed, around double the range of the powerful Himars.
Its warhead could contain a thermobaric charge or a combined 20kg high-explosive charge, capable of creating chaos amongst Russians near the target zone.

San Francisco to Replace Closed Stores with
Shoplifting Centers
San Francisco’s Board of
Supervisors, the local equivalent of the city council, today voted unanimously
to fill now or soon-to-be vacant retail space with city subsidized Shoplifting
Centers.
The beleaguered city has recently seen closures of Whole Foods, Office Depot and Walgreen’s stores, and Nordstrom just announced plans to close its two stores in the city. “These departures are leaving the city with no suitable place for residents to shoplift,” said Board spokesperson Peacehaven Williams, whose pronoun is ζ.
The new centers will be stocked with similar items to those that were found in the stores that have left the spaces they will occupy, said Williams, with the most significant difference being that there will not be any cashiers or checkstands. The centers will be staffed by unionized city employees reflecting the rich cultural diversity of the bayside community, though the only jobs to be filled will be stocking shelves.
“The plan is for the shoplifting experience to parallel what was available at the establishments that have cruelly abandoned San Francisco by focusing on their perceived need to remain viable as businesses,” explained Williams. “Members of the public will be able to simply enter the building, take what they want, and leave without paying, without fearing that they will be arrested or pursued. In that way, it will be basically identical to the way it was before the other stores closed.”
It appears that the principal difference between the operation of the retail establishments and the new shoplifting centers will be that the city’s taxpayers will absorb the losses rather than private corporations.

"But that promise is now mired in controversy, with Hoover admitting she’s “a White person” who “incorrectly” claimed to be Native American for her “whole life.” The situation has prompted calls for Hoover’s resignation and sparked concerns among her students and Native American scholars about UC Berkeley’s academic integrity and respect for authentic Native identity."
