A small town/suburb in Cork. Also the home of the Blarney Stone and the origin of the word ‘blarney’.

Not a bad reach for a town of around 2k population.
Blarney beats Tipperary in this scenario.
There is a decent possibility he is a money mule, he may be unaware that what he is doing is illegal. There is some precedent specifically for criminals in China using people overseas as money mules.
Legitimate question, did you temporarily disable it, or did it just not manage to block this post because those words aren’t in the title?
Huh, interesting. The disadvantages of the centralised vs distributed approach really makes sense here.
The Russian tactics seem like total madness. Might have worked in WWII still but looking at the videos in this community, surely they will eventually have to run out of vehicles and willing men (if they haven’t run out of the latter already).
Ball bearings, Jesus.
I wasn’t aware they had been used in terror attacks, but I saw an article about an attempted assassination of Maduro on the site you linked.
I’ll take your word on that Amazon link, disturbing shit.
Are these attacks on single soldiers tactically relevant too, or is it mainly intended as a psychological weapon, knowing that these things could hunt you down and you basically can’t do anything against it? I’m not Russian, or a soldier, or in Ukraine but I’m scared of these things.
I’ve been wondering, do the Russians also have these types of suicide drones, and if so, do they also use them this way on individual/pairs of soldiers? I know this sub mostly shows Ukrainian videos. Or do they not engage in drone warfare as much with these small quadcopters? Most videos show Russian footsoldiers, vehicles and bigger fixed wing drones.
Also, for the armchair experts here, what are the chances of surviving something like this? Sounds like a dumb question, but is it possible some percent of them are duds/don’t detonate after impact? I’m not sure if the static at the end of the clips is added later, but can we assume if the feed cuts out, it has exploded?
I know nothing about the technology involved, but it seems like a fairly low barrier to entry to me. It makes me wonder if this kind of attack will be used in terrorist attacks in the next years/decades. Doesn’t seem like there’s much one could do against it in civilian areas.
Sort of, yes. In it’s earliest stages it was just an attempt at a FOSS.Minecraft like game, but it evolved into the engine/platform it is over the past few years. Minetest uses LUA as a.scripting language, which I believe Roblox also uses.
It’s more than that, it’s a whole engine and launcher combo for (mostly) voxel games, most of which again are Minecraft like, but some are very different. It’s made some huge leaps recently, graphics wise and functionality wise. The promise of the engine is also being fulfilled with more original game projects being developed for it.
Mrs Doyle! Didn’t expect to see you off Craggy Island.
