I am so gd glad we’ve got Wab Kinew leading us. He’s got morals and recognizes that Manitobans need good leadership after the shitshow PC Brian Pallister created.

World News@lemmy.world•The New Laser That Can Take Down Aircraft | Russian strikes have forced Ukraine to build high-tech air defense on the cheap.English
17·4 days agoIf you’ve never seen a laser shoot an aircraft out of the sky, the experience can be unsettling. The weapon fits comfortably into the trunk of a car. It makes no noise and emits no light, not even the glowing red beam that’s so familiar from the movies. When a team of Ukrainian soldiers and engineers took me to see their prototype the other day, it seemed easy to use. Almost too easy.
The operator set up the laser cannon on the roof of his pickup truck in the middle of an empty field. It resembles a hobbyist’s telescope with some cameras affixed to the sides. For target practice, one of the engineers launched a small drone, and it flew a few hundred yards away from us, hovering in the gauzy winter sky. The laser swiveled as its cameras followed the target. The operator shouted, “Fire!” Within seconds, the drone began to burn as if struck by invisible lightning, then fell to the ground in a fiery arc.
The Ukrainian model, known as the Sunray, is not the world’s first laser weapon system. The U.S. Navy has one called Helios, which Lockheed Martin developed as part of a $150 million contract signed in 2018. Four years later, the first Helios laser was installed on a U.S. destroyer to defend against enemy drones. The creators of the Sunray, whose existence has not been previously reported, told me they built their laser in about two years for a few million dollars, and they expect to sell it for a few hundred thousand dollars.
O.O
Holy shit! Ukraine has been kicking ass and taking no prisoners with their wartime weapons’ development.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Autopsy of Canadian in ICE custody indicates his death was preventable, experts sayEnglish
23·4 days agoA review of 52 deaths in ICE custody by independent medical experts for a 2024 study found that 95 per cent of cases could have been prevented if the detainees had received appropriate medical care.
“Medical and mental health care in immigration detention facilities was failing people – especially the most medically vulnerable – even before the Trump administration,” said Eunice Cho, senior counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union and one of the report’s authors.
“Under this administration, things have gotten markedly worse.”
