Tragically the plane crashed into a surface to air missile.

Edit: yeah, this is actually what happened, no subtlety here, damn.

They were always here.

I escaped from the south to the coasts, but I always tried to warn people how vile the worst of us were.

Nobody coukd believe it, but remember, Hitler wrote about the south as the model for Germany in mein kampf, and the nazis copied the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow almost verbatim.

I'm not going to try to explain mission readiness, this is low, but the target is closer to 70%, so while it isn't great, it's not like it's half of what's expected.

Jets are complicated, they spend a lot of time in maintenance and inspection for each out of flight, its because they're optimized for performance while passenger jets are optimized for endurance, safety and cost.

F35s are terrible jets for peacetime, as are most fighter jets. For combat they're probably a lot better, they're basically f16s with worse maneuverability, but better range, sensors, weapons and of course stealth, 1 f35 is worth at least 3 f16s.

But even this doesn't matter, the next generation will be 80% drones, drones have phenomenal mission readiness ratings, often 90% or higher.

As someone who is very concerned about the escalation of this war into a possible global conflict, I can only say it seems like it would be a very wise and prudent move for Russia to withdraw all troops from Ukraine (including Crimea) immediately, in the name of peace.

Now? Now?

I grew up with evangelicals who were enraged at the blasphemous insult that God did not control the Earth absolutely, and therefore the earth couldn't be getting hotter unless God decided it was time for judgement day, in which case, celebrate, because those jews are finally getting what's coming to them.

This sounds like mental illness to normal people...

Do we know of anyone who Trump might be worried about upsetting if he said he wanted Ukraine to win? Anyone at all?

That question is awkwardly worded, why are you putin it that way?

I 100% guarantee you there are very proper, professional teams of investigators who do prosecute rape thoroughly.

For women with rich dads.

Guarantee that's just the tip of the iceberg, these small towns are all about small families and groups stealing federal and state money for themselves while crying about how the outsiders are oppressing them.

No real press to call them on it so they get away with whatever they like.

Also impressed by their indoor plumbing and magic screens with tiny people talking!

A former model who was a finalist in the Miss Switzerland contest was allegedly murdered and “pureed” in a blender by her husband, officials in Switzerland are reported to have said.

That's, that's a brand new sentence.

I'm fine with the former, the latter should be "no derivatives that attempt to relicense for commercial use".

Saying "no forks" is as anti-OSS as you get really, short of hiding all the code under your mattress ala MSFT.

Begun, the clone wars, have.

Just tariff cloud stocks, watch everything crumble.

He not only publicly attacked a Gold Star family, he spent years shitting on McCain for being as soldier "who got captured".

I cannot believe this stupidity is getting any traction.

It's like Hitler suddenly being unpopular because they found out he listened to jazz.

Hey, will you look at the time!

Its 'generate political cover for the Tories privatizing the NHS' o'clock again!

NATO: staying in Ukraine would put Russia 'at war' with NATO.

Considering your army can't take Ukraine, this really a fight you want to pick?

God, it really is the Russian religion that they're the only strong ones and everyone else is just so spoiled and weak, as your oligarchs tell you, from their mega yachts.

2024 is going to be a bad, bad year.

Remembering that made me spit out my covefe.

That venn diagram would make a functional wheel.

When the worst guy in the room has a point :(
