The official line is that its by request of their spouses so that they can have another kid with their late soldier (usually) partner. I don't think any other country has a sperm extraction battalion, I think this is what happens when you give an ethnostate infinity money.

why did you post this just as I was getting into dwarf fortress. I've already lost a week to that game

Is this actually going to make the cut in this season?

"Just because it is a literal monarchy where no one votes doesn't mean they can't support Western Democratic Values ®" the person who made this map probably.

What poll is this from?

Is this a vocaloid or is this just a wild voice edit?

Canadian housing situation will dodge its breaking point for this year but things will get progressively worse through the year.

Every Tory in government is going to push for the legalization of 5-over-1s to "address the housing crisis" and the first one they try to build is going to burn down during construction.

oh hey I know something about this! (I do structural firefighting)

The big asterisk to me is that this thing is flying. In a burning building the air gets dramatically hotter the higher you get. While the jets would presumably cool some of the smoke around it most of it would be surrounded by the hottest gases in the building instead of close to the ground where its more survivable. Every part would need to be a lot more heat resistant, including what I assume are some delicate controls close to the nozzles. In their demo its not really a problem because they are outside in fair weather but in a closed hot space that would be a different problem.

Because its flying you also have to lift water in the hose that supplies it creating a fun rocket fuel problem. You need the water to fly but you also are weighed down by it, requiring more propulsion and thus more water. Getting past that 10m range is going to take a lot of fun work.

There is also the human angle of "what happens if this finds a person?" Usually firefighters would put down the hose and drag whoever they find out but this system has no way to handle a patient if they could even see it! The operator would either be using visual or infrared cameras where they are operating it from, neither of which work in hot smoke where this would be flying. This looks like a recipe for a whole bunch of pressure washer injuries if those people get out alive.

what is the fluoride stare?

I initially thought "man if clotheslines that wire next to him thats gonna be a hell of a fall." Then I saw he was tied to it.

The upper inner corner is the canton of a flag, wtf is a union?
