      I don't really understand the comment or what you're implying. The Melara fires a pantshitting amount of ballistics ammunition. The whole point of these projects are cheap, theoretically infinite alternatives to reliance on ballistics which are a literal drain on our resources. I will admit that ballistics get better results but we're developing fucking space lasers here, man. The science fiction you inject on a daily basis is built from the concepts these motherfuckers are working on today. Your fantasies and the science-fiction of it isn't science-fiction anymore.

      This mindset is so idiotic. One option is that the government secretly has advanced weapons satellites and randomly fire them at their own people/in completely random places like the yukon.
      ....Or its lightning or power companies cheaping out on tree pruning/maintenance to save money, in areas that are usually very drought ridden.
      One option is so ludicrously overcomplicated, expensive, hard to hide and just generally pointless to even do. The other is, you know. What actually happens...
      I mean there was a big wildfire here this week that started next to a steep incline on a road. Id ordinarily assume the brush on the side of the road caught fire from braking/other car sparks and the ridiculously dry vegetation just sparked it out of control, but you know what youve inspired me and now i have decided to believe the CIA is taking out a mountain lion that swallowed classified intel from the lockheed martin compound up the road and masked it as an ordinary brush fire. Now did they use the regular space lasers or the jewish ones...
