Only if you're a nation with few resources or in emergency situation.
Creativity in the US military as always been associated with a lot of $ for contract with the private sectors.
Yes, many countries are now using cheap drones to destroy targets but I'm not sure the US military has the mentality to adapt to this situation because they're not "really" at war.
How would highly ranked personnel react to the idea of a 400$ drone, cheaper than an AR15, when they usually discuss budgets about aircraft carriers (or a few 100$million F35) ?
I wonder how many potential contractors would add a 0 to the price just to be taken seriously.
There was a day when many people used a Firefox addon that rewrote hxxps to https and would undefang the IP addresses. I can't remember what it's called but these days I use FoxReplace to do similar things. If I want to obfuscate things I typically base64 encode for the laptop and workstation users.
Seems cromulent to me. One of the common meanings of essence is "a product of distillation" (compare e.g. essential oils - oils won through steam distillation). And gasoline is won through fancy distillation
There is a birth crisis. Modern, liberal women are not actually reproducing, they are not keeping their end of the evolutionary bargain (men protecting, sacrificing and dying, while women giving birth). Therefore, there is no need to maintain the old-fashioned, patriarchal system with women as a more protected group. Everyone should contribute equally, pull their own weight. Equal rights, equal lefts (responsibilities).
Western women are already only producing ~1.5 kids (many with none!), you could send 50% of young women to die in war, then have the other half have a fertility rate of 6, like what their great great grandmothers had, and we would be far far ahead already.
50 men and 50 women. You have to send 50 people to the front. You'd send 49 men, leave one behind for reproduction purposes, have 50 women at home and be short of 1 person.
Or we could embrace equality and send 25 men and 25 women, leaving behind 25 of each to do whatever they want.
The advantage I found with a laptop :
1. Only two cables, power and ethernet. Installation and removal is quick.
2. Comes bundled with keyboard and screen so no need for monitor
3. Usually very low power consumption and low heat.
4. Light, it can be stored anywhere.
So to answer your question, I'm guessing all of the above?
