@idropFbombs Dump some flour in a baking pan, smooth it out, and toss marbles into it from various angles. They always make circular craters. Why? Doesn’t really matter: you can see it with your own eyes. And if you wash the marbles first, you can still bake with the flour.

Look, it's not the VPNs' fault. VPNs are great. I've used them for years. They just weren't designed to do Substratum's job, is all. They were pressed into service because they were available. Like turning a software developer into a manager. A real manager would be better.

@BakCuzOfElon @stillgray The single fin makes it look like a military drop tank to me. Fighters and strike aircraft carry them on hardpoints to increase their range; when the tanks are empty, or when the planes are engaged and need to reduce drag, they drop the tanks. Looks like this one wasn’t empty.
