  1. Duly noted. I don’t think anybody can afford to build new computers at this rate. RAM prices have gone ballistic.
  2. I have no plausible deniability on this one. Sounds like y'all don’t either!
  3. Not sure that it’s the right thread…but does anybody have a strong recommendation for an at-home VR headset? I want to get one to mess around with rotary wing stuff at my house. Seems like the two best bang for the buck options are PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest 3. I have a home built PC that will run MSFS and Xplane just fine, but want to level-up to VR for immersion
  4. One of the better uses of AI I have seen to date. Imagining the old lady as Congress. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DAuJ7XTnC/
  5. No. That object has IR emissivity, and has been intentionally tracked…hence the tight auto-track gate. He’s also using a designator on the object. Highly doubtful he was doing that for laser hand-off or just to get refined movement information.
  6. They could make a movie about that airport and all of the shenanigans. Too many quotable quotes to count.
  7. “Station calling Djibouti???!!?”
  8. I was being a bit tongue in cheek…y’all are thirsty for these car porn pics. Unfortunately no supercar lives under our roof. A meager LO206 kart is the best we can muster. Kid was in the seat, had to ‘shop her out.
  9. I don’t always do my own brake jobs on the POV, but when I do I use 4 year old unsealed hygroscopic DOT4 in my supercar. I’m not there, and haven’t seen anything beyond what’s available to everybody else…but GMAFB.
  10. Damn, that’s a tough pill to swallow. Even more unnerving is that the hydraulics are square push buttons/switches and the packs are round rotary knobs. Having to look yourself in the mirror after that is rough.
  11. Shut up hippie.
  12. Fake news…the libs on this forum said Trump was bluffing and wouldn’t do anything.
  13. American adult industry already did that…
  14. Thoughts and prayers for Lockheed stock after the sheeple see this photo…
  15. Seeing how things were handled with agent orange, and how things are being handled with burn pits plus Havana Syndrome…confidence is at an all time low.
  16. https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104521/c-40bc/The C-40 B/C is based upon the commercial Boeing 737-700 business jet. The body of the C-40 is identical to that of the Boeing 737-700, but has winglets…The basic aircraft has auxiliary fuel tanks, a specialized interior with self-sustainment features and managed passenger communications. I don’t know what 5000NM translates to in 737 time aloft, but I’d guess around 10 hours. Oooof.
  17. I think so. I get the desire for the biggest and baddest. That said, I think it ultimately comes down to the engine redundancy…quads vs ETOPS. If it wasn’t for that, I think the 787 would take the cake based on higher cruise speed with comparable range.
  18. Dreamliner will do just fine.

  21. I don’t need to trust anything. There isn’t a scenario that exists where I drink myself to a .21 BAC and then go drive and kill someone and cause grievous bodily harm to others. I have said my peace, and concede enough said.
  22. I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree regarding the principles you’re alluding to. That being said: I don’t subscribe to the notion that public defenders should be compelled to represent. I will never be on trial for being 3x over the legal limit and killing innocent people. I don’t see a world where this heinous act is morally defensible…so I don’t hope for the world to come to my defense. I am being somewhat tongue in cheek…but the court could benefit from implementing a time-tested methodology called “instant justice.” They can visit their local fighter squadron for more information.
