Leaked list of weapons the US has sent to Israel including

2,000 Hellfire missiles for Apache attack helicopters. The Lockheed Martin precision-guided Hellfires are being used more and more extensively by Israel now that its ground operations in Gaza dominate the war.

• 30mm chain gun ammunition, also for Apache attack helicopters. General Dynamics manufactures the latest ammunition.  

• 57,000 155mm shells for artillery guns

• 400 120mm mortars 

• PVS-14 Night Optical Devices 

• M141 shoulder-fired bunker-busters, officially “bunker defeat munitions,” the Western equivalent of Hamas RPGs and designed to engage targets at short range. “Bunker buster” as described in the news media is a bit misleading as the munition is used at 250 meter range to attack above-ground fortifications.

• 75 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, manufactured by Oshkosh Defense.

• 300+ Tamir interceptors, used for Israel’s “Iron Dome” system, and manufactured by Raytheon (RTX) in cooperation with Israel.

Finished things. The Ditto is massive and the hat is a commission.

Ditto details:

8mm hook and about 300g of Bernat Blanket yarn. It stands 14 inches tall and 17 inches wide. It used about six gallon bags worth of polyfill. I think the eyes are 30mm safety eyes. I'll open the giveaway for it up tomorrow. And yes, it'll be worldwide. Against my better judgement.

Details on the hat:

Pattern: Magic Twist hat by me!

Yarn: Plymouth Encore

Hook: 5.5mm

Pom: TheFireflyHook on Etsy.

Tag: LaserLlamaBotique

The hat was a commission and I still have another jingle balls tree to make for that commission and it can be out of my apartment.

Reminder that comms are still closed, just ignore that I am taking on another rush job from my mother.

curious if you have more Opinions on heel-to-toe drop. I've noticed that my ankle mobility is worse after wearing higher-drop shoes and this has me biased against them. but I also do not want to fuck up my everything

again, i'm speaking with all the authority of a 14-year-old who has tried weed like three times, and one of those times may have been oregano:

context: what's higher-drop for you? daily, running, or other athletic endeavors?

caveats/personal experience: i have usually worn 8mm drop shoes (or gone barefoot) for daily shit, 4mm-8mm for running. as far as i can tell, i'm not heelstriking even in the 8mm shoes (but people are notoriously bad at actually knowing what's going on there! possibly i heelstrike. too lazy to record it). i have fantastic ankle mobility in some directions (plantar flexion), and kinda meh in others (dorsiflexion), though not to the extent that it causes me a problem.

i have a bunch of injuries atm, but the pt i'm seeing thinks it looks like it's my hip mobility that's causing it (too much of it, uncontrolled).

some assorted considerations/thoughts/etc for high/low drop in running shoes in particular...

broadly speaking, with lower drops, forces on the foot and ankle get emphasized, and with higher drops, on the knees and hips. it's a spectrum. your everything is affected by every shoe. the forces have to go somewhere.

supposedly, when measured, the injury rate is more or less the same for all kinds of running shoes with respect to drop, it's just that people get injured in different places.

most current shoes are going to be 4mm-8mm. as i understand, just a few years ago, there were oodles at 12mm, but it's dwindled down, and now it's just like one brooks shoe and one mizuno? there's a few more at 10mm.

the current trend is high-stack shoes (let's say 30mm+), and high-stack doesn't play very nicely with high-drop (let's say 8mm+ but it's not a firm border). i'm not totally sure on the reason; it's to do with everything getting unstable when they're both high.

in the other direction, higher stack can encourage being fast, for (handwave) reasons?, so race-day & speed workout shoes sometimes stay up at 8mm. or 6mm. or whatever. track shoes have undefined stack but i guess if we tried to define it, it would be very, very high. (tbf track sprinters apparently have astoundingly high rates of injury-per-mile, but they put so much force into each of those miles.)

very very minimalist shoes (0-4mm drop, low stack like <15mm including the sock liner) exist. they can be kinda rough to run in. i used to run in them! i also ended up injured. they will work some foot muscles that get worked less in non-minimalist shoes, but to some degree it's kinda at the expense of getting better in a straightforward way at running. possibly the majority of these benefits can come from just walking in the minimalist shoes; also possibly the same/at least highly overlapping proprioceptive & and weird foot muscle benefits can come from trail running (uneven surfaces). on the bright side, they're fairly decent to lift in.

if you're running but only a little bit (pulled out of my ass: <<10 miles a week, <2 miles each, like as a warmup or whatever for something else), you can try whatever you want to try as long as it's comfortable. if you're running more than that, you can also do whatever you want, as long as it's comfortable, but probably fewer things will be comfortable.

"as long as it's comfortable" is really the important part there. like, this is the best, most-supported scientific shoe-picking-out process we have. if it's comfortable, then you're less likely to get injured (tendonitis etc).

idk if any of this was relevant or if i totally misread it. but. shoes! i can look up any of the relevant papers but i am being hassled atm by a cat.

Altee

Althaea officinalis L., Malvaceae Harilik altee, tokkroos Marsh mallow, marshmallow

Altee on aedades kasvav, harva metsistuv mitmeaastane ravimtaim kõrgusega 60-150cm. Külvatakse tihtipeale koos salati või sinepiga.

Ravimina kasutatakse kuivatatud altee juuri. Seda tarbitakse leotisena, keedisena, teena ja siirupina.

Altee juuri kasutatakse röga lahtistava, pehmendava ja põletikuvastase vahendina ülemiste hingamisteede haiguste korral, ka gastriitide, koliitide ning mao- ja kaksteistsõrmiksoole haavandite puhul.

Korjatakse aprillis, septembris ja oktoobris.

Kirjeldus

Altee on aedades kasvav, harva metsistuv mitmeaastane ravimtaim kõrgusega 60-150cm. Vars on püstine, viltjaskarvane ja 3-5 hõlmaliste täkiliste lehtedega. Leherootsud enamasti lehelabast lühemad. Alumised lehelabad laimunajad kuni neerjad südaja algusega, ülemised piklik-munajad või munajad, õied 2- või 3-kaupa keskmiste varrelehtede kaenlas, võrdlemisi suured, läbimõõduga 20-30mm. Kroonlehed kahvaturoosad kuni valged. Vili koosneb 15-22 osaviljast. Õitseb juunist septembrini.

Külvamine

Töönduslikud kultuurid asuvad Ukrainas ja Põhja-Kaukaasias. Võimalikult vara kevadel külvatakse altee niisutatud ja kergelt kuivatatud seemned 1-2cm sügavusele. Reavahe 60cm, külvinorm 8-10 kg/ha. Taimed tärkavad 8-18 päeva pärast.

Et reavahede harimist õigeaegselt alustada, soovitatakse külvata koos kiiresti tärkava salati või sinepiga, et read oleksid nähtavad. Salati- või sinepitaimed eemaldatakse pärast altee tärkamist. Vastavalt vajadusele kohendatakse reavahesid ja puhastatakse read umbrohust. Saak kogutakse 2- või 3-aastastelt taimedelt hilissügisel.

Ravim

Ravimina kasutatakse juuri - radix Althaeae. Juured kaevatakse või küntakse maa seest välja, pestakse, lõigatakse 20-25cm pikkusteks tükkideks ja kuivatatakse temperatuuril mitte üle 40°. Sageli aga lastakse juuri pärast pesemist natuke närbuda, kraabitakse neilt siis hall korgikiht maha ja kuivatatakse nad lõplikult.

Kuivatatud droogis ei tohi olla üle 14% niiskust, üle 3% puitunud juuri või juurika osi, üle 3% halvasti koorest puhastatud juuri, üle 0,5% mineraalseid ja orgaanilisi lisandeid. Põletamisel ei tohi droogist jääda rohkem kui 8% tuhka.

Droog sisaldab kuni 35% lima, kuni 47% tärklist, sukhrut (10%) ja pektiinainet (11-16%). Lima sisaldus juurtes on sügisel kõige suurem. Lima koosneb heksosaanidest ja pentosaanidest. Juured sisaldavad veel 2% asparagiini, 1,7% rasvõli ja ligi 5% mineraalsoolasid, peamiselt fosfaate.

Toimed

Altee juuri kasutatakse röga lahtistava, pehmendava ja põletikuvastase vahendina ülemiste hingamisteede haiguste korral, ka gastriitide, koliitide ning mao- ja kaksteistsõrmiksoole haavandite puhul.

Altee juuri kasutatakse leotisena - infusum radicis Althaeae, keedisena - decoclum Althaeae, teena ja siirupina - sirupus Althaeae.

How the legendary A-10 Warthog received this name

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 05/15/23 - 10:00am History, Military

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, better known as Warthog, is considered by some to be just a large Gatling machine gun with wings. This fearsome aircraft tested in battle by the United States armed forces became legendary during the Gulf War not only because of its unmistakable appearance, but also because of the pure firepower it brings to the battlefield - and the resulting unmistakable sound it emits in doing so.

During its time in Operation Desert Storm, the A-10 was responsible for destroying more than 900 tanks, 1,200 artillery pieces, thousands of other land vehicles and even some helicopters.

Initially built by the Fairchild Republic Company, the Warthog was put into service in 1976 and has been used only by the U.S. Air Force as its main low-altitude approximate air support aircraft since then. In 1987, Grumman Corporation bought all of Fairchild's A-10 assets.

He did his job so well that the USAF still uses it today. In fact, he managed to avoid being relegated to the air museum a few times, first by the F-16 and then by the F-35 Lightning II. Currently, 281 A-10s jets are still in operational use.

An aircraft with any other name would not sound the same

One of the most recognizable features of the A-10 is the Gatling GAU-8 Avenger 30mm seven-barrell machine gun perched on its nose, which is capable of firing 3,900 shots per minute. Interestingly, the plane was built around the gun, not the other way around. In 1970, the U.S. Air Force requested a 30 mm fast-shot cannon.

A year later, General Electric and Philco Ford created the GAU-8, which produces a "BRRRT!" sound. when it's fired. The weapon itself is larger than a Volkswagen Beetle and occupies 16% of the total weight of 12 tons of the A-10.

The nickname Warthog (Javali) was allegedly coined by Robert "Boomer" Ettinger, an A-10 pilot of the 104º Fighter Squadron of the Maryland National Air Guard. This is due to the robust and stocky appearance of the A-10, more similar to the wild boar, a common species of African wild pig.

The Warthog was designed to be a "Tank Buster", capable of carrying out attacks on ground targets and machine-gun them with highly explosive PGU-13/B incendiary cartridges or PGU-14/B armor piercing incendiary cartridges. Remember that each shot round of GAU-8 is larger than a standard beer bottle.

It can carry up to 16,000 pounds of mixed ammunition, including drag bombs, incendiary cluster bombs, anti-mine ammunition and missiles such as the AGM-65 Maverick and the AIM-9 Sidewinder. If this is not impressive enough, it can even withstand direct impacts of 23 mm explosive and piercing ammunition.

It was recently announced that the U.S. Air Force will begin to retire the remaining A-10s still in use, so that they can be completely out of service by 2029. However, considering his past success in avoiding retirement... we would not bet against Boar.
