Oregon Counties Vote to Secede Into Idaho
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is not a long shot at asll. There is a pathway.. What drives it is the natural urban majority whose needs are sharply different and disconnected with the land itself. Thus shrinking the political impact of the urban polity upon the rural polity is good for both as there are points of real conflict. The same applies for California which has a natural rural geography in the Great valley whose needs are completely alien to San Francisco and to LA. So a long winding road that includes the possibility of separation makes good sense in this situation. *Oregon Counties Vote...

arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
An interesting report whose like i have seen before. I do think that we are looking at the female giant sloth. At least that eliminates having two separate creature types out there. It is also the right size as well. In fact it actually looks like a giant sloth which the Dogman does not. Recall that these evolved from smaller insectivores and are arboreal. up a dead tree is a perfect place to feed. No real evidence that it was stalking with intent unless its mate was nearby. More likely curious.. *Pale 'Crawler' Humanoid Stalks National Guardsman at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin* ...

Robotic 'Third Thumb' use can alter brain representation of the hand
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
First blush tells us this is quite plausible. After all we can master the piano and our little finger is essentially surplus to begin with. To be effective though it needs to be a rwal biological thumb with real connections and a natural clamping grasp produced. Appling the same archetecture to the foot produces a wonderful climbing system that can go up long ropes and vines far better than we can now do.. This sould be really useful in lasge space cities where gravity is often missing. In fact we have had one report in which something like this design was seen, so maybe all ...

The USS Halibut Conducted One of the Greatest Spy Ops of the Cold War

*Sebastien Roblin* *Submarines, * The operation was considered so secret that most of the Halibut’s crew was told the true nature of their mission *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Commissioned in 1960, the USS *Halibut *was a one-of-a-kind nuclear-powered submarine designed to launch Regulus II nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. The 5,000-ton submarine housed two 17.5-meter-long Regulus II missiles in a grotesquely bulged hangar on her foredeck.

How Did America's Sherman Tank Win against Superior German Tanks in World War II?

*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Europe* Two tank philosophies, totally at odds with each other. What were they? *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The Sherman wasn’t the best tank, but thanks to efficient American production methods it would be the most prolific. American tanks in World War II were generally inferior to their German counterparts. German tanks boasted better armor protection and more firepower. But armor and lethality don’t tell the whole story. The same American tanks were superior to their rivals in other important ways. The M-4 Sherman, in particular, helped the U...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II, * The costs were high as the Navy learned how to fight this new kind of war. Yet the battle would set the stage for Midway. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The challenges of this new form of warfare began with locating the moving enemy force amidst the vastness of the ocean. The available radars then were short-ranged and unreliable, so the seas had to be combed by submarines, flying boats, smaller floatplanes, and carrier-based scouts. The scouts also had to evade defending aircraft long enough to radio the position of the opposing fleet. I...
