Joe Biden’s Votes Violate Benford’s Law (Mathematics)
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Only possible if fraud is underway. but we knew that unless you are a blindly committed to the DEM narritive. What astonishes me is that there is an excellent argument that the DEMs only landed around 22,000,000 votes. Certainly the 10,000,000 gain for Trump came from past DEM support. Many DEM votes likely chose to not vote as well. It is thus possible. After all the 2016 count for HRC was knowingly enhanced by vote insertion. Several million to even 15,000,000 votes. If the latter, then this works. *Joe Biden’s Votes Violate Benford’s Law (Mathematics)* *Published on N...

Hummus for Cows?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
As you might expect, the rise of hummus as a Staple has created a fresh feedstock for cattle feed. Processing now matters to produce best cattle suppliments. This is all good. It may not have been noticed, but the great plains have rapidly increased the number of crops they grow. In recent years we have seen most famously Canola, and more recently chick peas. I do think that processed chick peas do form an excellent supplement. *Hummus for Cows?* *Identifying the best chickpea crops for cattle feed* *SASKATOON – While hummus used to be an exotic spread enjoyed only in the...

These Soldiers Prepared to Go Behind the Lines in World War III
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The Berlin Special Forces were on the front line, at the most famous flashpoint of the Cold War, and almost no one knew they existed. Had the Cold War turned hot, there would have been no escape for the U.S. garrison in West Berlin. Marooned in a city more than 100 miles inside Communist East Germany, the U.S. Berlin Brigade—and the British and French garrisons as well—would certainly have been overwhelmed by Soviet and East German troops. Their presence helped keep half of Berlin free from Communist rule. But it was no...
How the F-35 and Russia's Su-57 Could Battle It Out - for Export Markets
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Who else could get the Su-57? Who else is interested? Could this result in a “sell-off” between the F-35 and Su-57 in other nations? Fifth-generation fighter aircraft are incredibly expensive to develop. While the United States and China have proven that they can foot the cost of developing fifth-generation fighters alone, Russia appears to be trying to defray the cost of its latest fifth-generation fighter via joint development ventures and foreign sales. Sales efforts have intensified in 2019 since Rostec requested permission to export the Su-57E expo...
Russia's T-80 Tank May Be Old, but It's Still a Killer
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* Thanks to modernization. *Here's What You Need to Know*: While T-72s and T-90s perform well in most climates, in the north where the temperatures can get very low, the T-80 is a far superior machine due to the turbine engine. While many Russian tank types are nominally meant to be replaced by the T-14 Armata, the modernization of old tank types is still occurring. Perhaps one of the more overlooked tanks that continues to be modernized are variants of the T-80. While some in the West thought the design was a dead end after what was seen as a lac...
South Korea's Anti-Aircraft Gun Could Set the North's Air Force Ablaze
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * While such a highly modular system might look good on paper and in presentations to military officials, whether the system actually works has yet to be proven. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The original Biho was built in the 1990s as a simple dual-gun design, similar to the German Gepard AA gun. However, unlike the Gepard and Shilka, the K30 Biho utilizes an electro-optical sensor on the visible and infrared bands to track and engage the targets. It only uses the radar for searching for targets. South Korea’s K30 Biho Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft...

Speaking of the election….. In other news… 2020 in review…… One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. When he tried to pay the bill, the barber replied, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The florist said, “Thank you,” and left the shop. When the barber got to his shop the next morning, there was a “thank you” card and a dozen roses waiting by the door. Later that day, a cop came in for a haircut.

One of Iran's Missile Sure Looks a Lot Like an American Knockoff
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] While the Phoenix had long range, it was a heavy, expensive missile that lacked maneuverability against agile targets like fighters. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Iran claims that its newer version of the Phoenix missile includes significant advancements in range, speed, and guidance. Of course, Iran has been caught lying about its weapons program countless times, so this is no guarantee of anything. Iran has begun mass production of a long-range air-to-air missile.

Innovation or Frankenstein? Poland Tried to 'Merge' Russian and NATO Tanks
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Poland's Tried to 'Merge' Russian and NATO Tanks. How Did It Work Out? Do these tanks even make sense for Poland? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Most NATO 120mm ammunition is single piece, with the propellant and projectile unified in a single piece. Comparatively, the T-72 was designed to use two-piece ammunition, with the propellant and projectile stored separately. This means that the T-72’s autoloader must be extensively modified to use 120mm projectiles, or simply fully replaced. When the Cold War ended, the Polish Army inherited a massive fl...
