Yes, it only works temporarily, or requires some additional clever means of carrying the body heat away in a less obvious way, such as ventilation. You can't fool nature (i. e. thermodynamics).

heat builds up inside until either the person in it gets cooked

That's how winter clothing works, in a nutshell. Eventually, all heat generated by the body needs to be shed; with better insulation, that equilibrium shifts towards a higher temperature on the inside.

"Advanced weapons", showing a parking lot full of AK-style submachine guns. That's about as un-advanced as it gets.

they drop down [...] exactly like a rock

Since they are still a huge aerodynamic surface, they rather fall like a leaf, possibly in a flat spin, but that depends on many factors. Much slower than a rock, but for most practical purposes you are right: fast and uncontrolled and essentially vertical.

Not so much server-based, but the experimental part of "lab" is well covered: I replaced my late-2013 27" iMac's internal HDD with an SSD. It's a really delicate procedure, as the display is glued to the chassis; it needs to be cut loose and very carefully removed (it's tempered glass), and then re-glued with special adhesive strips. But the performance gain is worth it. In addition, it also now runs Ventura, even with the nVIDIA card, thanks to OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Feels like a new machine now, and is perfectly adequate even for small video editing tasks with its 32 GB RAM.

They are not "analogues" of the Leopard 2, they are actual Leopard 2 variants, comparable to the 2A5 variant, just given a Swedish designation.

I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong, but far as I can see you are using only a single disk for the zfs pool, which will give you integrity checks (know when something is corrupted), but no way to fix it.

Since this is, by today's standards, a tiny disk at 100G, I assume this is just a test setup? I'm not sure zfs is particularly well suited for virtual machines, I think it is better to have the host handle the physical data integrity by having the disk image on a zfs filesystem, or giving the VM a zfs volume (block device) directly.

Good news, if true. I have a soft spot for any delta wing fighter, especially true deltas without empennage, so that includes Delta Dagger, Delta Dart and all Mirages except the F1.

[...] they are being acquired in cooperation with other countries.

So presumably from some ex-Warsaw-Pact-now-NATO countries, of which there are quite a few.

For future reference: ATACMS (Hint: "Attack-Ms" should be easy to remember). You got it wrong twice in as many attempts.

That's how I read it, too. Putin won't allow the military to withdraw, even if everyone on the ground knows that that would be the only sensible option. For everyone. (Except Putin, maybe, although even he could give it a positive spin if he wanted to.)

Herbivores are plant-eaters. I think "toothless" would be an appropriate translation in the context.

I have now, but that doesn't really change my mind. You have a point and it becomes a matter of semantics. I don't think it's actual malice in that he consciously wants to cause harm (on balance), but that he is so thoroughly misguided because of his own sense of infallibility, that he truly thinks he is a force for good in the world. Is that stupidity? It becomes a matter of definition. The video is too short and selective to really make any call based on it. "There are no 'ordinary' Russians on Twitter"? How can he tell? Maybe he has explained that in previous videos.
