The cheap drones Iran makes get a GPS coordinate plugged into them and they fly there. Carriers rarely stay in the same place for long so they'd be effectively useless against them.

The immediate counters and questions raised are:

* cost of adding encrypted mobile comms to receive target location update,

* turn about time on russian sat intell on carrier positions,

* observed carrier path patterns wrt drone flight times ( or fractions of flight time if mid air updates can occur )

* numbers and timings of drones that can be launched with alt coords to play predictive battleships with.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Kinda eerie reading all that about prompts when not that long ago it would all pertain to actual coding.


Having kids allows you to somewhat similarly step out of your usual behavior patterns. Obviously not in the "I'll spend two hours watching someone move porcelain cups around" sense, but today I spent an hour standing barefoot ankle-deep in a muddy puddle holding an umbrella over my kid as they played with a Lego figurine and a plastic cup. I got soaked, but it wasn't too cold and if standing outside feeling the rain on your face, watching the clouds pass, and listening to the birds doesn't make you feel alive I dunno what does.


Similar experience here. I'm like those chimps set free after a life of captivity in a roofed enclosure. I just stare at the sky or maybe at the trees in the distance.


#12 is so simple yet so true. Great list thanks for sharing.
