Great News, America: Cheese Isn’t Bad for You
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The real take home is that at worst it is neutral in terms of weight change. That is great news and means it is a great source of useful protein. As usual we have a background of stupid unscientific news stories bad mouthing the food. This only serves to allow commercial substitutions to prosper. After fifty years, that gag is wearing thin. The consumer needs to revolt and go on a full dairy diet of butter, cheese and eggs for fat and protein. Top that of with raw vegetables first and steamed otherwise. *Great News, America: Cheese Isn’t Bad for You* *Don’t feel sh...
Mars Is a Hellhole
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Not so fast. On earth we all live in engineered environments. To leave those refugia, we put on some form of environment suit. On Mars, if we are serious about protection, we start with an excavation to suit our needs and supplies and use it to build a surrounding berm as well. Then line the walls with a sealing skin and cap all this with a bubble skin hopefully transparent is plausible here. Then gently inflate with enough oxygen to allow shirt sleeves inside. A number of these can be built with connecting tunnels holding airlocks as well. Roofs can also be protected with si...
George Patton Was Not Just a General, But a World-Class Athlete
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* Patton had a higher aptitude for athletics than academics. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * Perhaps because of the way movies, notably the 1970 Academy Award winning “Best Picture” *Patton,* have depicted the infamous American general, it is hard to think of him being anything but a crusty old man with a bit of bloodlust. Before he had earned the nickname “Old Blood and Guts,” George S. Patton, Jr. had competed in the Olympic Games and as a cavalryman before becoming a pioneer of tank war he designed a saber for the U.S. Army. As a young ma...
How the A-3 Skywarrior Proved Itself to Be More Than a Bomber
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* It was more useful as a tanker than a bomber. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While it’s intended mission as a nuclear strategic bomber didn’t last long, the A-3 spawned an alphabet-soup of variants whose contributions to the Navy proved far more long-lasting and impactful. On May 10, 1972, one of the most intense air battles of the jet age raged over the skies of Hanoi and Haiphong as Navy F-4J Phantoms and Vietnamese MiGs exchanged missiles and stitched the sky with cannon fire while SA-2 surface-to-air missile batteries took potshots at...

This German Zeppelin Took Part in a Top Secret Mission

*Peter Suciu* *History, Europe* A repeat of the Zeppelin terror? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Operation China-Sache was a daring plan, but airships had already been used to make long-range strikes against England—resulting in the so-called “Zeppelin Terror.” When the First World War broke out in August 1914 many in colonial German East Africa (modern day Tanzania) had hoped the war would be over quickly, and there were those who hoped the region would be declared neutral. That wasn’t to be, and instead of staying out of the war a small German force led by Colonel Paul Em...

China and Russia Love Naval Mines: Here’s Why America Should Too

*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* Sea mines are a powerful asymmetric tool. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Submarine-launched mobile mines (SLMMs) are a particularly appealing part of the Soviet mine warfare legacy for the Chinese to learn from. In this way, submarines could still attack high value targets, but “do not [themselves] need to enter the dangerous area.” Russia has long been a leader in naval mine warfare.
