Perhaps this should be decreed in a new Geneva convention as the only allowed long range missile system? That would make wars less deadly and more useful.

Say more please? What’s the advantage?

Anyone know what launch method is intended if the Taurus was given to the Ukrainians? Can the F-16 they have launch them? Or are they considering a modified ground launch method (similar to the GL-SDB)?

Good choice, although the swiss aren’t selling to Ukraine apparently (veto’ed several transfers). There are a few other CIWS systems which would also be good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYJ2KKnl6kA

Interesting! Any list of good TUI games on Linux?

Failures of design can lead to maintenance failures. Where as maintenance failures do not always stem from failures of design.

So not mutually exclusive in this case.

Arguably. Reading the comments on avhearld, the cowling latches to each other rather than to the frame and the latches themselves are very low and easy to miss. Airbus has tried to eliminate this potential oversight, whereas Boeing has not. So yes, potentially missed non walk around, but also a possible systematic design failure.

Not going away from Proton myself, but yes this is damned infuriating. Although I’d deal with a reliable Android app. The Beta Android looks good, but why Proton has struggled so much with Android is beyond my current digging.

Possibly, but in other social contexts (aka a cafe in Europe or elsewhere) time pressure might not be a priority. Having a single seating for the entire morning may not seem viable, but can be in some places.

Mind you that’s mostly non-liquid accounting of his stock and assets. Not that he’ll have to worry about what he spends, but it’s not cash in the bank billions.

What feeds do you watch? Anything stand out? Thanks for the tip on the app!

Anyone else use NewsBlur Apps or WebApp. They have a free and paid, which works well enough to aggregate the sites I need to get a diverse news collection in an RSS like format.

I still miss google reader and past times, but gotta adapt.

Has someone written this up as a how to? Same as you want to abandon, but still a few niches.

While empathize with the sentiment, if pay alone is figured, $174k for two households (one in DC, one in their district) plus flights and etc doesn’t allow for a huge amount of savings especially if you are in a high cost of living district.

Now do they nearly always find ways to supplement that pay in legal ways, yes. But the question is do we want them beholden to those supplement ways? Or do we want them clear thinking and loyal to the voters who put them there?

Factoring in the current year inital cost and MBTF, did you figure out an ROI on HDD vs Flash including Power and space?

I wonder if this is what started Ukraine on the track to get the M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle. The line charges in particular seem like they might help solve some of the momentum issues.

As a seafarer who moves through the world, arguing out of timezones is an uphill battle. (Minus the half hour timezone insanity.)

Daylight savings on the other hand, can be dropped like the smelly turd it is.

SEOUL, Dec. 1 (Yonhap) – The Air Force said Friday it has decided to retire an F-35A stealth jet as it was seriously damaged by a bird strike in January 2022.

The Air Force said a comprehensive analysis with its U.S. manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, showed that the F-35A suffered damage in about 300 components, including the airframe, structure, engine and control and navigation system.

Considering the high costs and long period needed for repairs and other security concerns, the Air Force’s review committee concluded that it is better to retire the aircraft than to fix it. The plan will be finalized with the defense ministry’s approval.

The repair cost of the aircraft, one of 40 F-35As in the Air Force, was estimated at approximately 140 billion won (US$107.6 million), higher than its unit acquisition cost estimated at 110 billion won, according to military officials.

The Air Force said it will consider various ways to make use of the retired aircraft, including its potential use in mechanics’ training.
