>>38962 But even the Proprietary Meme does not really work since in the end it's all Taiwanese/Chink manufacturing that reuse the same schematics and just append a different owner on it. There's a clip about this floating around but I don't have the webm, basically western companies contract Taiwanese hardware manufacturers for similar products and rather than making them from scratch all the time they reuse like 99% of the assets, western companies notice that their counterpart is using a similar product and start suing each other. >>38960 I've heard a far harsher reality in that most of the computational tech developed extremely quickly because it was highly unregulated for the longest of time.

>>13305 The decline was inevitable once the New Deal State was born. The New Deal State immediately began to sponsor various puppets and stooges, including Germany and Soviet Union (and never stopped - who is the last Moderate Rebel, again?) This "help" sped up WWII the way it was. WWII (along with its prologue and epilogue stages) massively brain-drained Europe (consider little Hungary alone: https://newrepublic.com/article/71697/missile-man ) and then made USA hegemonic (between taking over British colonies and competitors being ruined). This made Harvard more important than Royal Society. Sure, Royal Society was halfway to Laputa, but they at least remembered what it was about. Harvard always was a theological institution. "Progress" is just another euphemism for "Predestination". "Mainstream Protestant" and "Progressive" were mostly synonymous for a while. Theology is not science, but it can pretend. Yet science and pseudoscience cannot just coexist in a stable equilibrium. Science was already brought too close to power by the Mugwumps. And power corrupts. Then nukes brought science even closer to power. Cold War (or rather its arms race) forced a big unprincipled exception for R&D, as long as it lasted. But once it ended, welcome to gender studies and other trash.

>>39058 >guys the US and Germans and Russians were on the same side!!!! Ukraine general was a mistake

>>13232 >A thread where we can sperg out share our thoughts about everything that goes into an industrialized war. >everything that goes into an industrialized war. Demographic homogeneity of culture. However, this no longer applies to Western nations, thus we have regressed to a society prior to the treaty of Westphalia (when nation states in the modern sense began to conduct wars on behalf of regional collectives). Henceforth, nation states are proxies with which to fight wars. Nation states are effectively contracted mercenaries of commercial entities. Thus discussions of "logistics" in the sense used in early 20th century conflicts is moot. Since differences between military and commercial resilient delivery are artificial. Pics related. Internal attacks on commercial rail freight logistics in LA, USA emulate the internal attacks on military hardware in Ukraine, resulting in kamikaze drones sold on the black market.

>>39062 >, thus we have regressed to a society prior to the treaty of Westphalia (when nation states in the modern sense began to conduct wars on behalf of regional collectives). What the hell "on behalf of regional collectives" even means? It's so much simpler. >> the nomos of the earth > The heart of modern international law is the right of the international community, which just happens to be shaped rather like the 200-year-old Anglo-American empire, to distinguish between ethical and unethical war, and use the former to stop the latter. > As Schmitt observes, this unipolar design is not just in conflict with the classical law; it is actually a resurrection of the medieval law of nations, with its concept of “just war.” Naturally it was the Vatican which decided whether a war was just—and shifting this onus to the Truman Building only reflects Washington’s role as the Fourth Rome. Conversely, under classical international law, the "jus ad bellum" is a necessary attribute of sovereignty. Almost by definition: there's nobody in a legitimate position to resolve disputes between any two arbitrary sovereigns. Or authority to interpret some sort of One True Teaching and enforce their adherence to it, etc. Without some equivalent of Vatican, that is.

>>38988 >The book isn't for you, it's for others to more elegantly defend against your pipul Because you can't defend your idols yourself.

>>38967 >that the bible erases 20 years of Jesus' history Yes, that was my implication lol but also because not only buddhism used zoroastrian clues but also relied heavily on taoist "magic" or like they used to say "energy cultivation and spirit counseling", in its early stages taoism had many key figures who travelled around and performed miracles while claiming to be mere men who simply "grabbed" energy from the natural sources but due to their knowledge of other realms they were often allegedly commanded to help the needed and in one specific case to expect being killed as to unlock a series of events which would end up leading a peasant sector being liberated, or "fate". Later they went to study and write stuff which goes deep into what we would call alchemy and esoteric mathematics, teachings which were heavily corrupted and taoism overall never recovering nor having its wandering sages around. One of its most mythical figures, Zuo Ci, is suspected to have been contemporary to Jesus as he was 16 to 36 when Jesus was travelling around the east. Due to Zuo Ci having done similar things according to myth (transformed or summoned food, transplanted energy, cured the very ill, taught of the spirit and a much higher realm above us which we need to behave and live well to reach/understand) some chinamen theorize Jesus learned from him as did other latter taoist masters, but we might as well say in theory Zuo could've learned and understood the teachings from a wandering foreigner and later meditated to attain what He said (anyone can perform great things if you believe) and after all Zuo is famous for being one of the first to have done such widespread and notorious acts to the point of the de-facto emperor summoning him and later being persecuted for trying to dissuade the authority to study with him and leave their campaigns to subdue the population. After all it is not unheard of chinese attaining some masterhood from a wandering foreigner expert (Buddhism reaching China via Bodhidharma "the red-haired blue-eyed monk") Also to note a good chunk of chinaman history has also been deleted a couple of times, the manichean/nestorian church was the main belief in a considerable sector of China for 500 years, even Marco Polo was surprised in seeing churches in the middle of nowhere back there with the white buddha he had heard of being probably Jesus on the altar due to the cross and the identical acts.

>>38983 Nice find, anon. Word of advice: if you save a lot of PDFs and possibly EPUBs off the internet without actually reading them, consider buying an e-reader that supports both file formats. They're a lot nicer to read on than a computer screen and I personally find I read more of the stuff I save if I have it on an e-reader.

Fuck it, /animu/ was the wrong place to post this writeup (doesn't help that I likely posted it in the wrong thread) so I'll repost it here on the offchance someone is interested in this movie or somehow saw it before its rediscovery. Zenon: Boundless Love Here's one you likely haven't heard of: a 1999 children's movie that may or may not have been considered lost media until it turned up in a Polish church's archives. So why would a Catholic parish have an obscure anime movie laying around? You see, this was the home parish of one Wladyslaw Zebrowski, better known to his beloved Japan as Zenon Zebrowski. In the early 1930s he and a few other monks established a Franciscan monastery in Nagasaki and quickly bonded with the locals. You can probably guess what happens from there: he survives the nuking of Nagasaki, thrusts himself into caring for the survivors, builds an orphanage, possibly meets Emperor Hirohito several times, then becomes a fixture in Japanese disaster relief and charity for several decades following this. I really can't do his long life justice, especially after only knowing about him for a few hours. For example, I am only just discovering as I write this that the leader of this missionary trip to Japan, Maximilian Kolbe, is not only considered a saint within Roman Catholicism, but is also responsible for Zenon's surviving the nuking of Nagasaki in the first place. St. Maximilian Kolbe apparently refused to build the monastery within Nagasaki, declaring the city would be soon destroyed by a ball of fire, and had the monks build it on a mountain slope facing away from the city where it was ultimately shielded from the blast. So how is the movie? As a children's movie, it's decent. There's some nice music by Toshiyuki Watanabe and its animation and backgrounds are decent enough, but it's very limited by its target audience and short length, and these hurt it in a couple areas. For example, it doesn't quite capture the scale of what Brother Zenon did, greatly compresses the timeline, and almost gives the impression that Brother Zenon achieved all this through a mixture of divine providence (which he definitely benefited from) and befuddling and exasperating everyone around him as a sort of holy fool, which really isn't the impression I get from other English-language articles on his life. However, to be fair to the production crew, how do you portray a man so near to sainthood through animation? There is an extensive tradition of how to do so in writing and still images, but you try to place him in an anime and he gains a sort of unreality (or super-reality?) that makes him stand out from everyone around him. An ideal portrayal would also have this quality, and it is to the team's credit that something of this shines through even if they didn't quite understand him. Would I recommend Zeno: Kagirinaki Ai ni? If what I've described interests you and you don't mind it being a children's movie, then, sure. It's only a little over an hour long and- Actually, it's getting late and I don't know what else to write about the movie itself right now, so I'll jump back to the opening subject for now. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YQL_SC6T-qU https://web.archive.org/web/20220721055131/https://www.ucanews.com/story-archive/?post_name=%2F1999%2F01%2F07%2Fanimated-film-highlights-work-of-polish-franciscan-brother&post_id=12770 https://web.archive.org/web/20161002092355/http://brotherzenon.com/ https://iderepublica.pl/en/known-unknowns/index/brat-zenon-zebrowski/

>>39055 So, if English-language information about Brother Zenon is scarce, information about this movie is even scarcer. There may have been some kind of theatrical release in Japan (I've found a date of May 15th, 1999 on websites like AniList) and possibly another in Poland, but I haven't seen anything of a home video release. The UCA News article I've attached below claims it was funded entirely by donations, and from digging through Youtube comments it seems a gentleman who knew Brother Zenon personally brought this VHS tape over from Japan and gave it to Brother Zenon's old parish. From there it seems to have languished in obscurity until the Youtube uploader found it and enlisted a teacher and a friend to translate it. This is all I can find on the English internet and by running Youtube comments through Google Translate. Perhaps a Polish or Japanese-speaking anon more acquainted with their sides of the internet could dig up more, but that's also assuming any on /animu/ are even interested. It is a very niche anime, after all, and I wouldn't have even heard of it if someone hadn't mentioned it in the comments on a new-ish Kenny Lauderdale video. https://polanddaily24.com/221-the-second-best-known-pole-in-japan

But does it matter?

OK one day I hear they're shelving this thing and then the next I hear it's passed the House. What the hell's going on?

>>38376 It passed because of 2 traitor recucklicans even though a small handful of demonrats also voted against it. Never underestimate the ability of the gay old party to fuck their own constituents. It has to pass the senate now which is split 50-50, but you should fully expect the RINOs to slap their cocks across your face at this point. We've been in the stage where these people should be getting lynched and having their families destroyed utterly but nah that's fedglowjoobadbad no good optics or something so better lube up for that banana republic banana.

What happened now.

I've been playing STALKER with intent to actually play it instead of just mess around a bit, and it's much "easier" than I remember in the past which is taking me for a loop.

What if Hitler had applied to a prestigious art school in the USA and was accepted?

>>37710 Isn't there a bad DLC for Medieval TW that is kinda this?

>>37795 Yeah, there's Thrones of Britannia which takes place during the era after Alfred the Great, but what you're thinking of is the Brittania campaign from Medieval II: Kingdoms. That one was set in 1258.

>>37710 This is actually intresting, this would mostlikely make the world quite diffrent. And even english too. Since england isn't in the best of shape this would mean that some of the colonial powers more powerful or even new colonial powers then otl. >>37794 We could probably get hitler working in disney.

How would the world look if Kissinger had been thrown out and America never signed the One China policy?

>>35632 My understanding is fairly limited, but from that understanding, you have several lineages for each ship type. Torpedo boats, being fast, small ships designed for attacking bigger ships, begat destroyers and fast attack craft. Cruisers, which were initially distinguished between being unprotected, protected (having an armored deck), and armored (having a belt of armor on their sides), evolved into light, heavy, and battle cruisers, respectively. Battleships evolved from the ironclad, which then evolved into the dreadnoughts. They were later limited by the Washington Treaty in both quantity made and displacement, forcing many nations to build smaller ships. Then there are the super-heavy battleships like the IJN Yamato and the USN Iowa. Carriers were initially converted into battleships or battlecruisers. Their roles diversified into escort carriers, light carriers, fleet, and supercarriers. There's probably some more to it, but like I said, I'm don't know all of it.

Could hypersonic missiles be the end of carriers? As it stands, while China still can't get 20km accuracy in a desert, Russia seems to be using them fairly efficiently when they've tested them out in Ukraine. Unanchored smaller ships are probably too small to use them accurately at the moment since the ship is jostled around too much by the waves (relative to a stationary target), but an aircraft carrier can be about 1-3 skyscrapers in length which seems plenty big enough if you can calculate its trajectory. >>35835 I don't know much but that seems fairly accurate for the bluewater vessels. >>35632 I wouldn't bother with greenwater vessels and hybrid bluewater/greenwater vessels since once you get into the smaller ship sizes

Is brass still the best material for propellers, or are there are weird and crazy proposals floating around for some alternative material?

>>35841 >Could hypersonic missiles be the end of carriers?

From what I understand, the real limiting factor is the killchain when going after something like a CBG. Even with hypersanec, your firing solution at launch is going to be out of date by the time the weapon gets wherever it's going, so you have to update it in real time, which not everybody can do (though if anyone else can, it'd be the Russians or the bugs). There's also that nagging little issue of killing a CBG being a pretty surefire way to kick off Round Three, which no one is really in a position to seriously consider at the moment. The only two powers with the strategic ass to do it have no reason to; the bugs can just sit back and watch the Jews destroy us from the inside while they (the bugs) play the long game, and the Russians are content merely to defend (and, as opportunity presents itself, expand) their regional hegemony. tl;dr it's theoretically possible, but I'm not seeing the carrier's swan song any time soon. Especially when there's really no substitute when it comes to force projection and gunboat diplomacy. >>37908 I see some vague mention of composite materials on Wikipedia, but nothing concrete. "If it ain't broke", I guess.

I know the question gets thrown around plenty about a US-Chinese engagement in the South China Sea, but does China actually have any proper deterrents to stop submarine strikes? That seems to be a glaring weakness that they are trying and failing to fix right now. >>37926 >tl;dr it's theoretically possible, but I'm not seeing the carrier's swan song any time soon. Especially when there's really no substitute when it comes to force projection and gunboat diplomacy. Sounds like the F35 may serve an actual niche in being launchable from smaller ships then, but that the technology probably still has a couple decades before it becomes a real threat to ships.

>>36835 You could say Thayland was aTAKed.

>>13494 >As for China i doubt an actual war will happen, considering the military government will become/is an international pariah they'll have no option but ask for Chinese suzerainty. They look like screw-ups, and may provoke at least one of the neighbors. While the economy is still in the ass. Conversely, if the puppets win and invite NATO, China will react the same way as Russia did. Especially considering NATO did not contest grabbing Taiwan at all. The third option is civil war. The end result is much the same, except this time China won't bother with genocide, as they will do it themselves.

>>19122 Not bad, but the farmers weren't at the bottom of the hierarchy. They were ranked above artisans, who were ranked above merchants, who were really at the bottom (unless you count hinin, non-persons who had no standing). Over the course of the Edo Period, the merchants built up lots of wealth & power despite formally being in the lowest rank, and many samurai were indebted to them. Farmers may have been better off than before, but hard times still hit them disproportionately.

So it seems China has officially endorsed Myanmar and given them their facial recognition technology to deal with rebel elements. It's been effective enough that the UN security council officially condemned the Myanmar Junta because their forces of "freedom and democracy™" are losing. I think Myanmar is shaping up to become the next US proxy war between America and China (with Indian support against the Chinese) in order to draw attention off of Taiwan (or to act as punishment if Taiwan is embargoed/invaded) given these recent events. Article talking about the Chinese facial recognition software: https://archive.ph/p2qbF UN Security Council thing: https://archive.ph/VSpDz "Illegal" protests happened, but clearly they no longer have any teeth since the military/police didn't even beat anyone (which has been standard Junta policy up until this point) suggesting the protesters have stopped getting violent: https://archive.ph/5HzBN

It seems Lavrov spent the majority of his day in Myanmar between a military helicopter ride and in private arms dealings in the Junta strongholds. At the same time Myanmar is experiencing rampant inflation so they have allowed workers to retain 35% of their earnings as foreign currency to encourage currency competition to prop back up the Kyat. https://archive.ph/IFmrh

>>38957 Here is what i found doing a quick search. Japanese infantry regiments were three battalions strong and each battalion had a designating flag. They were of the typical pattern for flags of this kind, with horizontal zig-zag stripes. The Japanese called these stripes "mountain-shaped lines" and they were probably intended to represent the mountainous terrain characteristic of Japan, with three peaks representing the three regiments making up the battalion.

>>38980 Awesome, thanks anon I appreciate it.

>>38981 No problem, though I screwed up. I typed three regiments making up the battalion when it should be three battalions making up the regiment.

>>38905 >Is there at least some log Yes https://anon.cafe/logs.js?boardUri=k

>>38910 So the ban is actually tied to a post like other board software, even though ban message doesn't show it. I guess it must be an ID issue rather than mod error. Or maybe it's some level of range ban rather than the specific IP?
