Usually these are empty when rolling into battle, they are used to get there in the first place. Tanks aren’t known for great fuel economy and the inside is already cramped, so for cross country travel it’s practical.

He WANTS to help Russia… Don’t feed the troll.

This is clearly a case of “just because we can doesn’t mean we should”. Sounds like a really bad idea to create life from sperm that doesn’t even move. Some people are just not meant to have kids and should come to terms with it instead of passing their own problems on to the next generation. I think it’s selfish. Also it’s not like there aren’t enough people already, adopt and give a good life to a healthy child that otherwise wouldn’t have a future.

Wow that’s an enormous payload, is that an rpg warhead? Is the plastic wrapped block on top extra battery? How big is the carrying capacity of these drones?

Now I like dead vatniks in Ukraine just like the next guy, and I’m not sure this qualifies me to be the party pooper but the quirky tone when recounting war crimes does not sit well with me. Like when bush Jr misspoke and said “Iraq” instead of “Ukraine” and everyone laughed. Tens of thousands iraqis were killed on your orders (on false pretenses if that somehow makes it worse), yes you should be in prison, and no, you giving candy to Michelle Obama doesn’t kinda even it out.

Well yes and no. It’s a ballistic missile, so it doesn’t have a “low trajectory” but a ballistic flight path, which can be calculated from just 3 data points. It can indeed maneuver at all stages, but because it’s really fast (that part isn’t a lie), it’s only able to do very small deviations from it’s predetermined flight path (apart from also needing to hit the actual target, so it can’t just fly in a completely different direction). The deviations are so small that the patriot can just correct for them in many/most cases. So it’s not a lie it can maneuver, it’s just not as much as would be necessary to reliably avoid interception, even though patriots fly slower.

I guess that’s debatable, depends on how you define what “it runs” means. PC gamers with dated hardware may be fine with playing on 1080p, while on the Xbox Microsoft might veto if it doesn’t run on 1440p and 30fps. Of course weaker hardware won’t run everything faster hardware can, you can’t just sprinkle infinite magic optimization dust on a game, there are simply limits what’s possible with weaker hardware, and once you’ve reached them you can’t just shout “enhance” like in CSI Miami.

It may be due to Microsoft demanding certain minimum configurations: at the very least minimum resolution and minimum frame rate. On PC you can always go down to 240p and/or live with 10fps in very high density scenes. Microsoft can (and will) just say “no” if they try that on the Xbox S

Not sure I want to go this hard for people self-identifying as right wing nationalists.

“Never hesitate to state the obvious”, for socially awkward teenager-me this was a game changer how to participate in conversation. I still live by it and it’s really useful in meetings, as it also brings real value to the conversation, as whatever is obvious to you isn’t necessarily obvious to others. And even if everyone knew, it may still spark a discussion.
