The main limitation now is actually the atmosphere. As the air heats and cools, it expands and contracts. This changes the amount of air the signal is passing through. Since the speed of light in air is slightly slower than vacuum, the effective position accuracy is reduced.

There is a fairly simple correction, you need a static reference. If you have a fixed receiver, then pass its readings to the dynamic one, then you can correct for errors. Combined with inverse kinematics you can get sub centimeter resolution quite reliably.

I used to think that. Unfortunately, you’ll be proven wrong with time. I really did have a lot of energy, when I was younger. I’m now having to be ever smarter with what I have, just to tread water.

6 months later, not a pirate is to be found, dead or alive, and not a single ship taken. Meanwhile, none of the crews will talk about “Trevor”. All they are willing to say is that “Trevor is a very very nice man, we were very happy to host him.” Always spoken with a monotone 1000 yard stare.

If you’re abandoning a tank, there’s a good chance you’re worried about being sniped. Taking the time to close the hatch leaves you as a sitting duck, while doing it. They are likely jumping out and running to cover.

In WWI, Neither sets of soldiers wanted to be there. Neither wanted to fights, and neither had been conditioned to see the enemy as subhuman.

This led to numerous examples of comaradary. The most famous example being the Christmas football match.

WWII was the first example of industrialised propaganda. The Nazis were conditioned to believe they were truly better, and so capable of doing the horrifying war crimes we now know happen.

WWI, the command was fairly evil on both sides, but the grunts weren’t involved.

WWII, 1 sides command was particularly evil, and the grunts were convinced to agree with them.

British politeness developed mostly so we didn’t turn our aggression inwards. Given how large the British empire got, it was quite effective.

Canadians seem to have taken this further. Impeccably polite, but that rage needs to go somewhere. The only thing worse than an angry Canadian is a “disappointed” Canadian. That’s when you know you need to find cover!
