A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I have worked in IT for about 15 thousand years now I think, and the number of times I've had to take a malfunctioning computer or piece of equipment "For a drive" is beyond counting. It started with taking broken things back to head office where they would suddenly work fine. Put back in situ, they stay fine. Eventually I learned that I don't even have to bring it back to head office, just unplug it, put it in the van,drive around the block a few times, maybe go get lunch, return to site, and reinstall it. Repeated reboots, long power drain cycles of leaving it unplugged, or unplugging it and walking to the door with the threat of a drive were not enough,it had to go in the car, and the car had to move.
My actual home desktop PC still does this. Every few months, it randomly turns off, and then won't respond to power button presses at all. No POST, no fan spin, nothing. I take it to the park, or down to the river for a bit while I go for a walk, take it home, lo, it works fine. 6 years this has been going on.
Your machines act up cuz they want to go for an outing, that's actually adorable
Probably something to do with the vibrations but if it works, it works!
