he left home without either his watch or his phone. would be the proper way to say it i think.? but i knew they meant that. if you use "and" it kinda suggests he always has both with him. to my ear anyway.

Merlyn Thomas of BBC Verify, speaking on PM, BBC Radio 4, 05 March 2026, from about 18 mins 25 secs into the programme (any transcription errors are mine, she spoke pretty fast) ...we've got new satellite imagery, and it- it's crucial to our...

I'm mentally struggling to NOT write a lengthy post on the order of Ground Based Air Defenses for Dummies. But to answer your question, a majority of anti-aircraft missiles and most anti-aircraft guns larger than 30mm caliber use radar...

Russia doesn't have this yet? i'd think with China as their ally they would.

Seems to be getting quite speculative in here...

"We, of course, never target civilian targets" is so revealing. There are no legitimate "civilian targets."

Ballistic missiles are best against stationary targets. For aircraft, typically guided missiles are used, and they may have proximity fuses. That said, even then an aircraft may survive a hit. The airliner shot over Teheran a few years ago was...

This may be the first war where AI makes kill decisions.

I'm afraid it doesn't help much because some of our missiles can be programed to, for want of a better term, dive into a target if the planners believe it will be more effective. Also bombs don't fall straight down as they are often depicted in...

A woman on Facebook who said she had reported the information to authorities claimed she may have seen someone matching McCasland's description around the same time he went missing on Friday near the Whitewash trailhead in Piedra Lisa Canyon. In...

I think what they mean is he didn't take his cell phone or something like an Apple Watch. Depending on the model, an Apple Watch or similar smart watches like Garmin, can have cellular data plans. Some hikers and trail runners don't want to take...

And, presumably, those tat you did. Making the need to continuously get better at IDing things more important than the any downside of increased accuracy. I wonder what the "order of operations" is there, though. Do people see what they assume...

As I understand it (and I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong) ballistic missiles don't actually need to hit aircraft, because one can be brought down by the pressure wave from a nearby explosion. If that's right, does that mean a laser would...
