Someone watched Mr Robot.
Does that include THAAD antennas?
I don't think he is going to TACO this one.
And I heard Irans oil depot's were targeted today.
Depends on the contract who owns the tooling. Some tooling is owned by the government, but some isn't. The government may also not want to store tooling they don't think will be needed again. Especially, when parts are designed for a specific life.
I had one friend airlifted off the mountain, broke his femur, and I have not been snowboarding since.
I got the screwdriver the month I was offered a much better paying job. I was told the person who followed me struggled to understand what I was doing, I wasn't permitted by my new employer to help them, and they scrapped the project since they didn't want to waste his time digging into it.
Relevant story from my first engineering job in 2010. I needed a high precision torque screwdriver for an automation project I was working on. The vendor said the lead time for the screwdriver is a year, because Apple bought up their entire production for the following year. Paid in advance.
When you lose your industrial base you also lose all the knowledgeable suppliers. Those aren't easy to replace. A company that makes a few parts for THAAD can't survive on only that contract. When an auto plant closes so do their suppliers, who are also suppliers for defense.
A year or two before you even put in an order for a tool or part isn't crazy. Another 2 years to get all the parts you need. So maybe can be done in 5 years, but that's going to be expensive.
We just had a sub supplier go bankrupt and I'm dealing with that next week.
Considering the last time one was built was a decade ago you need to hire and train an entire work force. The drawings maybe in an old format, probably all 2D. You may need to convert to 3D. Which may be hard if you don't have someone who understands the old drawings.
I have experience with defense manufacturing. My guess is that all of the tooling has been destroyed. So they are going to need to make all new tools. Find people who know how to make some of the components. Lead times on parts can be long. Some large castings take a year just to get.
Another carrier en route tells me no TACO this time.
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
I'm pretty sure the UAE was trying to prevent a war. They were having a spat with Saudi Arabia leading into this.
I am just now catching up on the fact that the FDA was demanding Uniqure do sham brain surgeries (from what I can tell, comprising simulated burr holes and 10-12 hours of anesthesia) in their placebo arm for their Huntington's therapeutic, and I'm absolutely floored that this was a serious demand.
That will last 5 minutes before getting scratched up from all the road debris around here right now.
@anadarkocapital.bsky.social this will go well with your keyboard and mouse.
I worry about a relapse, but it was a big move. Just too many things back to back that really broke the reality distortion field.
Trump screwing over the workers and supporting their employers. No free market when people could stand to gain too much money.
I should have read the article before commenting. Haha.
She left the movement and is in a weird spot right now. Not totally sure what to believe right now. Attacking Iran was the last straw it seems.
My SIL said the same thing yesterday. She is no longer MAGA.
An Iranian kamikaze drone has struck US Camp Victory near Baghdad International Airport in a repeat attack. #Iran
