    Yes, yes I did. But even with 360° view, he still had somewhat limited shooting angles through the gunner slots…

    But you make a mighty fine point. What’s the best defense against a homemade bulldozer tank with nothing but cameras to see from and drive with? Spray paint the cameras…

    The thing had more than one weak point they could have used to their advantage…


  • Something like that yeah. He built the ~22 ton outer bulletproof shell with 22 tons of thick steel plate metal and concrete. He built it on some sort of hanging hoist over the bulldozer, only to be lowered once he was ready to go cause the destruction he did. He designed it without an entrance nor exit, it was a suicide mission and he knew it.

    What finally brought his rampage of destruction to an early end was when the bulldozer ran over some of the debris of his carnage, that some chunk of debris managed to bust the radiator, which ultimately took out the engine. So, clearly the radiator was a weak point all along…

    My thought regarding a grenade wasn’t about trying to take the dude out directly, but rather to disable the bulldozer and go from there.

    If you haven’t seen the documentary movie about it, you really should…

    Climb on top the thing and drop just one grenade right behind the bucket, in front of the radiator.

    That would also block like ~90% of the shrapnel, and with any luck, take out not only the radiator but the engine too.

    No reason to go willy nilly tossing grenades at it, I mean hell, they did climb on top of it while he was still driving it to look for an entrance…





  • My Android devices have never been logged into Google, and the tablet I’m posting from has no SIM card, so it has no phone number.

    They have no record of a phone number for me, because I’ve never signed into Google on any active Android device.

    Edit: I also have Google Play and Services, and most other Google apps disabled. FOSS for the win! They really don’t have any phone number for me.


  • Uh, okay. My account isn’t even registered to a phone number, never has been, and my mobile devices aren’t registered with Google.

    I’m currently only signed into Google on my laptop, and if I do happen to sign into another device (which has happened before), Google just drops me an email something along these lines…

    ‘A new device has logged into your account. If this wasn’t you, click here, but if it was you, there’s nothing you need to do’


  • Um, wait what? I’m in the 20+ year Google category…

    I very rarely use Google anymore, but I do have a Google and YouTube account, plus my EBay account is also tied to my Google account, and I haven’t had any such issues…

    So what the hell happened to others? Do you have a brief breakdown, and perhaps an article link or something?


  • Are you sure about that? I had my Google account since before they acquired YouTube. During their acquisition and merger, so as to not corrupt or pollute their merging databases I presume, I was forced to pick a different username for YouTube than my Google account, and that still stands to this day, even though both are indeed effectively the same account… 🤦‍♂️☹️
