NBC is reporting the water temp is around 35 F. Very not good.

Your original words do not match your later point. QC problems in existing fabs is not the same thing as behind schedule with their new process node development. Neither is particularly good, but they're not the same thing. I was unsure if you knew something else that I didn't know.

Thanks, I did read that, forgot. There was some back and forth about what yield level represents production ready. Still, not production. More like "it turns out jumping past TSMC isn't as simple as buying the latest Dutch wonder printer.

5.7 is a stupid cartridge. The PR57 is stupid like a fox though.

I got that. Surely mentioned actual fab fails and quality control problems. What I know: In the early portion of 13th generation Core i production, a summer monsoon fucked up one of the Chandler fab's HVACs and seriously fucked up a bunch of stuff (corrosion, etc). Other than that, they have been having one problem after another with their designs. But I'm not aware of chronic QC problems in the fabs themselves.
-
I'm aware of the fab contamination thing in early Raptor Lake, beyond that what fab fails? Design fails abound though.

Point of order good sir! A 5" government model makes a fine club once it's empty. A 1911 shooter is never forced to resort to fisticuffs.

Understood. I thought your additional perspective would be useful for the rest of us. There's so much in maintaining big AF aircraft, that the giant gap between what is just normal or annoying to an C-130 maintainer turned CV-22 maintainer, might be stopping the rotation of the earth level to an Army 60 crew chief.
-
It requires a B-Stand to access some stuff. And its a lot taller than a 60. I'm not slinging hate at you, just observing the inherent perspective difference. Even with the guy that hangs out on an AF forum.

Like a stone. Technically Audioslave. Sue me.

Not entirely. It keeps them from developing nukes.

Meh. I think it's more likely that people are freaking out over nonsense. Lots of pictures/videos of lights and obvious helicopters set to stupid music. FAA compliant lighting on aircraft over Allentown, PA totally makes me think of a secret military project. Drones are legal to fly at night. Larger commercial drones are going to be a thing. I would guess this is just people noticing the emergence of a new industry.
-
I guess what I mean is going through the temp MOA seems to remove the asterick. It's still beyond slow. NEPA for a new activity in an existing MOA is 2-3 years or so. In that process (exercise EA) we got a temp turned permanent. DM has been working an expansion of a MOA since 2018 or so. I haven't heard anything about it in a long time, so may well be DOA.
-
Temp MOAs annoy the FAA for some reason. They'd prefer permanent. But those are harder to establish due to NEPA. And the hippies will always complain. So the trick is to make a temp MOA, use it alot until the FAA gets pissy and offers to make it permanent. Profit.

I saw that, I'm inclined to think we'll know they're really hurting when they drop the age again.

Are they still at 25 year old to get drafted?

And China. The pipelined oil goes the other way.

I'd call pictures of a Democrat shooting an AR as a PR stunt a win. Even if they're brain dead for shooting metallic targets that close.

This presentation is really good. Anyone who's spent enough time in the government/defense industry will see a lot of familiar stuff.

I'm not known for being concise.

There's an interview with a town official towards the end. Peter principle in action.

Fair point. But there were folks ready to go. That just leads to point two of mine. This isn't the first time bureaucrats have put their focus into "establishing and maintaining" control, instead of rolling with the punches and making shit happen. Seems to be more and more common place these days, but that happened at Katrina as well. It's just that the lower levels beat the bureaucrats to the scene.
-
Rescue crews were enroute Saturday morning. Katrina was a series of near mid-airs. It was worth the risk, but it's pretty easy to see where a bureaucrat would learn the wrong lesson, and middle managing peons would then take it too far. In any event, this guy has some gouge from guardsmen on the ground about where some of the rumor is likely coming from.

Unmask AADs, crack down on 36-2903, no friday shirts or patches, guess we're about due for no civilian clothes at the gym, reflective belts and Rescue back to AFSOC. As the world turns, this too shall pass, and all that....
