Remember J-UCAS? The navy took ownership of that and evolved it into a number of UAV programs compatible with the carriers.

Remember, you only found out the US equipped Hellfire missiles with swords that can assassinate a man in their home when they deployed it. So while you know they already have a refuelling drone and all the investments necessary to launch drones like that from carriers, don't expect to find out a strike platform is ready until it already struck something.

Reply to comment by flanderguitar in 'Rust' first assistant director David Halls sentenced in deadly on-set shooting by AudibleNod

He was the least culpable of the bunch. I don't know what will happen to Baldwin, but he's more culpable than this guy because it was his project and set. The prop master IMO is the most culpable because it's literally their job to ensure what happened never does, they supply and maintain the props.

Reply to Russian whose child drew anti-war image gets jail term but flees by darthatheos

That story reminds me of something one of my teachers told me about his experience as a child in Germany during WWII. As children were indoctrinated and parents could get into trouble for things they said, his father was very careful in his talks with him on walks, which he described to me as "deprograming" though his father was careful about what he said. I think he also conveyed the idea to his son that he needed to keep his mouth shut to stay safe.

It must be horrible to live in a place like that, but if one does, it is often wise to keep one's thoughts to oneself and not make public declarations.
