Digital radio can be jammed, but unless you have more advanced equipment than a white noise generator it's more difficult to do so: static just gets ignored anyway.
Messages can be intercepted but they're always* encrypted by the radios themselves, so it's not normally a problem when they are. Generally, the biggest risk is that the enemy will be able to track you down via triangulation, but there are very few situations in which that is feasible

* The USAF got in a load of trouble a while back for using UAVs and not encrypting their communications, so it was possible for anyone listening in to track them. It turned out that people had indeed been doing so

ah, that sounds sensible
I can only give about $50, unfortunately. Would still be happy to help though

Sure, but how much do they cost?
I thought the total price was something like £50

you're... Against the existence of the graviton?

>the actual Celsius scale is not the scale that Celsius created. As far as I'm concerned that equates to Celsius starting at 373 and Centigrade starting at -273
Kelvin are still the bestest though

it's funny because you think you think objectively yet you cannot show that your thought is not flawed

Maths is a cool guy though. If it weren't for the fact things are about to get interesting in physics I'd have definitely chosen it

Geocentrism
heliocentrism
newtonian gravity
einsteinian gravity
were all the most accurate predictions of any scientific theory ever.
Gravitons are accepted to be part of the standard model by the majority of particle physicists
I sincerely doubt that everything is going to change given the lack of information released

>he constructed his world famous Celsius thermometer, with 0 for the boiling point of water and 100 for the freezing point. After his death in 1744 the scale was reversed to its present form.

>> No.2849471 [View]

The actual Celsius scale starts at the boiling point of water, and the freezing point of it is 100 Celsius.

>me
>breed
Nope. Aside from my faggotry, I have far too many genetic problems (parkinsons carrier prone to cataracts and severe acne from 11-21, constantly)
If I were to breed then the answer would still be no, due to the facts 1) I'm human, unfortunately, and 2) I think that the difference it would make is so negligible it doesn't matter

Socialism with scientist elected scientific officials in charge of planning and allocating resources

A shift of focus from individual luxury to technological advancement

sounds very plausible, and yes. Then again, you're talking on the internet. If you're thinking at all you're overthinking.

>> No.2837870 [View]

>>2837843
I suppose so. It's more likely the craft were experimental and on a contract with Boeing or Qinetiq or someone, given the sheer difficulty of managing to change that kind of thing on a fully functional UAV. I don't really see how the drones could end up flying into formation and remaining there after leaving said formation unless they were using some kind of automagical spatial awareness stuff.

My bet's actually on those paper lanterns that work like hot air balloons. If you released one every 5 minutes from a certain point then drove along a road throwing one out every 5 minutes you could probably get a fairly accurate V-shape.

Neh, it's virtually impossible for an operator to use the wrong frequency. In military drones, certainly, the allocation of frequencies is 1) preset and 2) hardware controlled. It's entirely possible the lights were drones, but if that were the case, why were they lit?

individual fields can be seen by crew members on the ISS, without any kind of magnification, the fact a city can be seen from space isn't significant. Military pilots tend to not really give a fuck.

>>2837773
1) I wasn't the person you were replying to
2) your point doesn't actually validate the contradiction. You're still saying that your argument is valid on the condition that you remember, and yet you're telling me that someone else doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about. Inconsistencies, inconsistencies everywhere.
