First beta tester results: Wife: “Seriously!!! Turbo Ass Blaster 3000?! We’re having a baby, not an Eagle driver. You need to take this seriously.” Husband: “Yes dear. And also to clarify, does that mean Hugh Jorgan is off the table too?”

That wasn’t directed at you, but those who indignantly cry “Russian propaganda!” at the mere suggestion things aren’t going well for the “good guys”. We should also expect to hear a chorus of backpedaling insisting that the point of spending hundreds of billions in debt financed Ukraine aid and countless lives was never to win a conventional conflict or reclaim territory lost, but that the goal all along was only to inflict military losses on Russia to disrupt their plans to mount a full scale invasion of Europe. Brilliant.

If you want to increase sales a couple of quick changes in the code and you will have a porn star name generator...a far more lucrative market.

Notice none of us that like our Teslas said anything about “green” aspects of them. I drive them for the same reason I fly to warm places in the winter: I like it. They’re faster, a better overall experience, very little maintenance and I don’t spend hundreds a month on fuel. I don’t know why so many Americans are anti-Tesla, especially when a US car company is leading the world. When was the last time that happened?

We could save even more money by getting rid of UPT all together. AFA/ROTC/OTS straight into Viper or C-17. No need for the T-6 or those sweet UPT locations. Let the operational units figure out how to train them. The money we saved from UPT can be used to regenerate all those MWSs we lose during the pilot training process. Also, give everyone in the AF wings. They (non combatants) all know how easy flying is anyways. Shit let's just call every airman a Pilot. No more Pilot shortage.

I doubt there is a much dirtier energy than lithium ion batteries from materials mined and largely assembled in countries that either only pretend to follow environmental agreements or don't even pretend to try. And that's not even starting with the slave labor problem.

You guys have been getting trolled by this retard for far too long. Did you forget about gen. chang..? You're arguing with a wet doorknob. Do yourself a favor and open your profile, select the settings gear, and add him too ignored users.

When you turn on the "uncommon" filter you see some names that can only be explained by a lifelong commitment to opioids. Then you realize that a name only shows up in the database if at least *5* people were given that name in one year. 😳

You're theory probably applies to most anti-EVers.* But there are issues that need addressing like car fires and accident risks. I know a dude who lost his house due to the Tesla starting a fire in the garage. I rode in a Tesla, it was neat. Extended fam in Cali has some. But they're not really a fit for me where I may leave a car at the airport for a few weeks and it gets cold and chargers are shared between spots. I love that 'Merica is making them, I love that the effort is generating tech advances in batteries, safety, etc., but don't like the self driving push as it needs more maturity. Also, I love that it's advancing other industries. For example, Arkansas is sitting on an underground lithium brine goldmine that can flip the US from an importer to world exporter. The green argument is a back and forth between the sides and I don't think either side is right. I want my 93 octane til I die. * The Cyber truck is just awkward, just like Elon, who should just shut up and make cars.

It’s been all over the local news how expensive those tickets were going for. People paying Super Bowl money for a rivalry game (because if their is anything Aggies have it more money than sense). I’m on the way to Disney world right now and the tickets were cheaper. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

On the line today…. Bragging rights, and Ryan Day’s mortgage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Also remember that Dan Gryder is legitimately batshit crazy, so I’d be really careful believing his perspective on literally anything..

I can’t imagine that many people are truly anti-Tesla, or even EV in general. I bet the vast majority of the anti-“E” attitudes are simply pushback against progressive bullshit ideas like banning gas car sales by 2030, banning gas ovens, telling people they MUST go all electric or else, etc. I think EVs, solar, etc. are great ventures and I’m excited to see the tech progress. I also think they are not the panacea many leftist think they are and there is a LONG way to go before they are reasonable for many people in this country. Bottom line - progress the tech and people will naturally come to them as it makes sense for their life situations/desires (and to the leftist: WGAF if someone doesn’t share your EV love), or try to shove it down their throats and human nature says they’ll respond with a big “fuck you!”

There are totally valid reasons to have an EV, but being environmentally friendly isn’t one of them.

How is it some of you continue to be unable to see the writing on the wall? I have always maintained that the progression of this war continues to trend in one direction. Ukraine is losing. It's not propaganda, it's not something I want to happen, it's a just reasonable application of logic to observable objective facts.

I’m still confused what problem big blue is solving by sending people to a civilian school (for PPL, instrument, multi-eng), then to T-6s. Other than some artificial bubble where they can say ‘look, we’ve reduced the T-6 pipeline by 6-9 months.’ PCS and/or TDY costs to send them to these civil schools certainly has to be more expensive and result in a longer timeline than just going to UPT. Also not sure how it is going to scale up from a SGTO to 1300+ students a year. Great cash cow for the civ schools though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I think any AFA or AFROTC scholarship cadet who has been a cadet in the current far left environment should be allowed to graduate and go forth as a civilian. We don't need those misguided kids in our Air Force.

Based on the current trend…Biff is only 6-9 years early on his satire becoming reality.

I would buy an economic argument or one from a hobbyist that wants to charge from their own solar panels as real arguments for it.

Anyone buying EVs or anything with batteries who says they're doing it for the environment or "social responsibility" is living in a fantasy world.

Maybe so, but I didn't think that's ever been proven, and it would be terribly disappointing to know that the Chang incident was just a one-off. It's the difference between a Rembrandt and finger painting.

Nah, Chang was a brilliant troll-job. Bashi is the clown who's only "trolling" when it gets him out of a corner. Besides, sadly there are a lot of Republicans who are taking such a simplistic and ignorant view on foreign policy. He's a clown, but he's part of a very big circus.

First time applying this year! Was gonna try last year but my medical didn't get back from Wright-Patt in time. Kinda thankful though cause my scores last year definitely wouldn't have been competitive. Hoping for the best come January!

Given that we're a "total force" now, I've always said they should move AETC to the ARC. While some wouldn't care to teach UPT/FTU, many would. It's a ANG dream, no deployments, no chem gear, much easier job to maintain as a part timer...it's a no brainer from that perspective. You'd have no problem filling squadrons and keeping great experience around to teach the young studs. Free up all those AD IP's to fill the spots in AD squadrons. Rotate a small number of AD pilots through to keep a fresh look/perspective, but that will naturally happen as we hire AD pilots anyway. If we had something like that, I'd probably still be in.

Should have kept the 10 around. They were in a rush to dump a useful aircraft.
