The point being that it is what we need to get to the Ukranian pilots, somehow, get them trained on it, so they can take out the Russian tanks. Of course it's a C&P job.
I was just going by the title of the video. It appeared your intention was about the Reaver Chaingun, whatever that is. I'm sure there's a 1000 better A-10 vids on YouTube to make that point. Or was that your video creation?
Wasn't mine, I'm just a messenger. But I am an audio guy, and I love that sound. Oh yeah, would love to hear that Vulcan cannon (Reaver chaingun) rata-tat coming down on the Russian fuckers killing the Ukrainians. The title of the video is misleading, because the reaver is like an M134 little tyke. But the Vulcan on the A-10 is a 20mm monster that fires depleted uranium rounds. That's good business.
Savant! i remembered this post today after reading that Musk took a stake in twtr. The question is, has he/will he also take a stake in DWAC?
Good Day. War crimes have been committed. Russia needs to be taught a lesson. I'm still trying to figure out how. Having seen what we have seen we cannot let them do the same to Maripole. By sea we need to break the Russian control and I did notice a small addendum to the last shipments of arms to Ukraine- SUICIDE DRONES. Perhaps a few of these should be sent at the Russian ships. The Goldan Eagle drone I do not think is a suicide drone> Red Cat secures purchase order for drone units from NATO member country 07:10 RCAT Red Cat announces that its subsidiary Teal Drones has secured an order for 15 Golden Eagle drone units, plus spares and training, from a NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, member country that has committed them to deployment in the Ukraine. "Red Cat Holdings stands by Ukraine, and we will continue to support its needs to the greatest extent possible using Teal's Golden Eagle platform," added Jeff Thompson, Red Cat's CEO. "Since the war in Ukraine began, we have seen strong interest in the Teal drone platform from numerous European countries. Defense budgets within Europe have risen seemingly overnight due to the need to support this current invasion, as well as the desire to be prepared for future geopolitical conflicts. Many countries and military units are recognizing the strategic benefit of having an adequate baseline inventory of drone units that can be invaluable in reconnaissance and surveillance on the front lines. We believe this is the first of many relationships and purchases in the region." RCAT-$1.95

Just what I have been saying.... Mizuho reiterates Uber as top pick after new Washington law 06:57 UBER Mizuho analyst James Lee keeps a Buy rating on Uber Technologies (UBER) with a $72 price target after the state of Washington enacted a new law that allows gig drivers to remain as contractors while receiving benefits such as injury protection and paid medical leave. The law is a compromise between the state legislature, unions, and ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft (LYFT), Lee tells investors in a research note. In principle, the structure is similar to Proposition 22 in California, and incremental costs are comparable as well, says the analyst, who expects Uber to pass these costs to consumers. Lee also views the agreement "as a roadmap for a positive resolution for gig economy labor." He reiterates Uber as a top pick in the U.S.

Leslie's upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Goldman Sachs 04:57 LESL Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane upgraded Leslie's to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $27, up from $26. The analyst expects continued sales growth for the company driven by ongoing maintenance of a larger pool base, management execution in Pro and acquisitions, and a lift from strong migration trends. She sees evidence of elevated demand versus pre-pandemic levels based on app downloads and Google search interest. Leslie's will also likely see sustainable higher gross margin in the short and long term along with continued double-digit EBITDA growth in 2022 and 2023, McShane writes.

Government in talks to build ‘hundreds’ of mini-nuclear reactors across UK The proposals are a direct challenge to Rolls-Royce, which is racing to secure approval for its own British-made fleet of mini reactors A US energy developer backed by a fund linked to Elon Musk is in talks with the Government to build a fleet of small nuclear reactors across the UK. Last Energy wants to build its first “mini-nuclear” power plant by 2025 and has identified its first site in Wales, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. The company intends to spend £1.4bn on 10 reactors by the end of the decade. Last Energy’s end goal is to build “hundreds of plants” across the UK, sources close to the company said. The proposals are a direct challenge to Rolls-Royce, which is racing to secure approval for its own British-made fleet of mini reactors. Last Energy is one of 12 select investments by start-up backer Gigafund. Three of these – SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Neuralink – are founded by Mr Musk, 50, the world’s richest person and chief executive of electric car maker Tesla. Gigafund’s managing partner Luke Nosek sits on the board of SpaceX, the rocket company which made its maiden civilian voyage in September last year. Mr Musk, worth an estimated $287bn (£220bn), has made little secret of his support for nuclear energy. Last month, he said on Twitter: “It is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones… This is critical to national and international security. “For those who (mistakenly) think this is a radiation risk, pick what you think is the worst location. I will travel there [and] eat locally grown food on TV. I did this in Japan many years ago, shortly after Fukushima. Radiation risk is much, much lower than most people believe.” Last Energy met with Government aides last week to discuss plans. Its reactors are considerably smaller than those of competitors and are forecast to cost £50m and are prefabricated before being transported by 80 lorries, company insiders claimed. Each plant is the size of a football pitch and the height of a double-decker bus – roughly half the size of rival reactors proposed by Rolls. Representatives from Last Energy are believed to have told Whitehall officials that they want the UK to be the company’s “test bed” and insist that its plants will be up and running years before Rolls-Royce. It is believed to have asked the Government for a commitment to pay £75 per MWh, considerably less than the £92.50 that the UK is locked in to paying the much larger Hinkley Point C nuclear plant once it is up and running. Rolls-Royce is throwing its engineering prowess behind so-called small modular reactors (SMR). Last year it received more than £200m in taxpayer support to develop the plants. SMR use nuclear fission but are smaller than conventional counterparts. Currently, about 16pc of UK electricity generation comes from nuclear power. Business Kwasi Kwarteng has supported Rolls-Royce’s plans, saying that the SMRS offer Britain’s energy sector a chance to “cut costs and build more quickly, ensuring we can bring clean electricity to people's homes and cut our already-dwindling use of volatile fossil fuels even further”. Boris Johnson is also thought to be an enthusiastic supporter, discussing plans for a new nuclear energy strategy with industry executives at a meeting last month as part of wider efforts to wean the West off Russian fossil fuel. One of those present said the Prime Minister imagined a future where “not quite everyone having their own small modular reactors in their gardens, but close to it”.
Polestar-? Hertz is buying 65,000 electric vehicles from Tesla rival Polestar Hertz (HTZ) is turning up the wattage on its push to have a mostly electric rental car fleet. The company said Monday it will purchase 65,000 electric vehicles from upstart Tesla rival Polestar. Mostly consisting of the sporty Polestar 2 sedan, the purchases will occur over five years. Availability is slated to begin in the spring in Europe and later this year in North America and Australia. “Today’s partnership with Polestar further builds on our ambition to become a leading participant in the modern mobility ecosystem and doing so as an environmentally-forward company. By working with EV industry leaders like Polestar, we can help accelerate the adoption of electrification while providing renters, corporate customers and rideshare partners a premium EV product, exceptional experience and lower carbon footprint," Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said. The Polestar deal comes hot on the heels of one inked late last year with Tesla. Hertz said in October it had ordered 100,000 Tesla Model 3s, expected to be delivered late in 2022. The company is anticipating renting out 50,000 of those cars to Uber to support its network. I test drove the Polestar 2 for a weekend. It was fun to drive, and easy to charge. Bonus points for all the well-integrated tech features. "So we are starting a great relationship with Tesla. We are also ready to partner with many other manufacturers to extend our lead in the adoptions of electric vehicles," former Hertz interim CEO Mark Fields said on Yahoo Finance Live in November. The EV focus by Hertz will be crucial to keeping investors engaged in its turnaround story under new CEO Scherr, who started on Feb. 28 after spending decades at Goldman Sachs in top executive positions. Hertz returned to public markets in early November following a much publicized bankruptcy, after raising $1.3 billion in IPO. Hertz sold 44.52 million shares at $29 each. It had expected to sell 37.1 million shares in a range of $25 to $29, per its prospectus. The pricing valued Hertz — which exited a high-profile bankruptcy in June — at $13.7 billion. Shares are currently trading around $21, giving it a market cap of more than $9 billion. To be sure, the deal is another win for Polestar, which is in the process of merging with a SPAC dubbed Gores Guggenheim. Polestar is expected to debut on public markets in the second quarter of 202
