@xenon said in The F35 was designed for conditions in Ukraine: Well - Russia seems to be a bit of a paper tiger. Who else is on the big boy list, China? Curious who could use this against whom? Much of America's Air-Land Battle Doctrine depends on air superiority, and works best with air supremacy. China supposedly has a fifth-generation and the Russians also have one. Neither has the capability of the F-35, but the F-35 does not do well at supersonic speeds, and the Navy needs buster capability for CAP and its backup. Another problem with the F-35, is the combat load. It is supposed to be a multirole aircraft, but it falls short in the attack role. That's why the Navy has looked at an attack version of the F-15. For air superiority, you have to be ahead of the technological curve.

5 people involved in the investigation have sought protection under the 5th amendment. NTTAWWT, of course.

Welcome to New Yawk.

Somewhat "interesting" is that through the 1960's and into the 70's, the standard of living in DPRK was actually higher than that of the ROK.

@Renauda said in Russian drone - Nikon and duct tape: @Jolly said in Russian drone - Nikon and duct tape: @Doctor-Phibes said in Russian drone - Nikon and duct tape: Without nukes, Russia would really be a laughing-stock militarily. They've got some decent stuff, if they could just maintain it and train effectively. My experience in their oil patch told me long ago that equipment maintenance only occurs after catastrophic failure followed by a period of prolonged idleness during which time anything on it that is salvageable is salvaged for personal gain. Chernobyl I guess could be considered catastrophic failure

Ayup. Multiculturalism is just a step toward Balkanization.

@Axtremus Yup. You are correct. I did say ten countries, but then only listed nine. LOL Edited the list to add Malaysia

@Axtremus Ax, it turns out the green grapes are $7 and red are $2-something. TMK the green are not organic.

@LuFins-Dad said in Weather app?: @LuFins-Dad said in Weather app?: @Mik said in Weather app?: I use AccuWeather, but it's a website. I'm sure they have an app, but I've never installed it. +1 I like their Minutecast feature. This morning I am dressing for work… “Hey Siri, what’s today’s forecast?” “It’s currently 61 degrees. Today’s high will be 64 and will drop to the high 40’s by late afternoon.” It’s 86 degrees right now… Finley and I were at the park 46 minutes ago. I noticed a couple of drops. Check Accuweather Minutecast. “No Precipitation In Sight!” We keep playing… 5 minutes later we are hiding in a gazebo from a torrential downpour with lightning and thunder… You need to stop setting Minneapolis as your current location, bro

Sure but what was your issue? You were trying to fund Luke’s 529 while he was in college? I can see why that’s not allowed. But what does that have to do with Finley? Or were you trying to use just one 529 for them both thinking you’d switch beneficiaries at some point? You’re allowed to do that but then yeah you wouldn’t be able to fund for Finley while taking distributions for Luke.

MIL is 82. She had enough cooked Saturdag to feed a dozen people. And enough left over to feed them again.

@xenon said in Waking up the woke: The fun part is that they’re tarnishing their extreme prestige reputations with this shit. These institutions have been knocked down several notches in my eyes, and I’m betting I’m not the only one. You and Tucker Carlson.

@George-K said in If you were Jesus, how would you have came out the tomb?: @LuFins-Dad said in If you were Jesus, how would you have came out the tomb?: Uhm, nobody saw him come out of the tomb. That was kind of a big deal… [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giphy.com%2Fmedia%2F26AHteTfafcdKC6ys%2Fgiphy.gif&f=1&nofb=1] Actually, Barnabus the Unlucky did see Jesus come out of the tomb, and ironically enough buzzkill is what JC did to him to keep him quiet.
