BTW, when they mention "small drones" carrying these new decoy systems they mean CCAs (Collaborative Combat Aircraft), and they're not exactly small. youtu.be/opGGj1ViJos

A variation of disposable version has flown in Ukraine already called the ADM-160 MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy), with serious success. These ones would be airframe mounted on tactical jets to cause digital mayhem at will. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-160...

🧪 Fascinating new work from Daniel Malouli & co authors in Klaus Frueh’s lab at OHSU. Highlights how incredible & multilayered HCMV’s (aka CMV) immune evasion mechanisms truly are. Not just a decoy MHC I, UL18 blocks priming of MHC II- & MHC E restricted T cells 🥷 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Human cytomegalovirus UL18 prevents priming of MHC-E– and MHC-II–restricted CD8+ T cells

HCMV UL18 abrogates unconventional CD8+ T cell priming by 68-1 RhCMV via interaction with inhibitory leukocyte receptors.

man it’d be a real bummer if decoy got arrested for gambling

Was sacrificing Decoy and hanging his head around your neck as a good luck charm worth it?

I pop up like a weed all over the place but I'll do an introduction anyhow. I'm MabusTheDark and I play a lot of RPGs because my village was burnt to the ground as a child (not really)

A dubious-looking plant with a tall orange body and a big green leaf on the top; the top of the body features a single mocking eye. Midway down the body stretches a vertical maw filled with gnashing candy corn teeth and featuring a dark magenta tongue extending outward. On each side of the base of the body is a brown stem, extending upward, with the left one having a rounded head featuring a mouth filled with sharp pointy teeth. The right stem features a round gourd-like structure with a stem and leaf on top with a massive eye in the center of a carved hole. The body, chompy mouth and decoy eye are all segmented like a pumpkin.

Also here are #drawings #bskyart

Astronaut boards a ship through the hull breach, along with her trusty drone companion.

40K ratling snipers. The top group are an idea for tank riders, including a sniper hero with a “stubber,” inspired by the Vietnam era sniper who used a .50 cal machine gun modified for single shot shots because of range. The lower figure has set up Cadian body armor on a pole as a decoy.

Nightmarish wasp hive built into a zombie, controlled by a huge wasp queen settled onto the skull.

This is why nobody should ever have builder feat. @decoy 's headless #Resonite

Decoy's headless world with a bunch of items spawned around, including cursed screenshots, giant Steve the chicken, a tornado, and a red-tinted skybox with Decoy's face all over it. A few people are standing in the middle looking at inspectors.

Today in 1957 Decoy, starring Beverly Garland, debuted in syndication. It was the first American police series with a female protagonist.

The mylar balloon mid-course decoy penaid is an effective example of saturation, something which all Ballistic Missile Defence Systems (BMDS) are vulnerable to along with depletion. A penaid capable of effectively saturating and/or depleting a BMDS would be valuable beyond measure.
