You get inside Lubyanka, and you wear a paisley tie? What is this? 1993?

You're really @ClearedHot's alternate login, right?

No. No you definitely should. Please. Yes, please definitely do that.

For the love of Olds can I get a so to speak?!

Dude, I'm so glad you're back!

Yup. I just got a G48 and I'm a fan so far. The only thing I like about the SIG 365 is how the semi-double stack makes it fit in my hand a little better.

Ok. Can we admit that this is an exchanging of fire between two nitwits? Gaetz is an inept political tactician that leans on emotional support that he doesn't really have and a wit that doesn't exist. No doubt that Dettelbach is also completely inept. Gaetz had a non-maneuvering target, 2x AIM-9X, and STILL trashed the shots.

Seriously. The democratic party can do WAY better. Please. For the love of our country. Do not put this guy back in charge for another 4 years. If you have half a brain, for the love of Pete, AT LEAST wait until there is a ticket before throwing your vote behind someone!

How much of your training was on VR? How many real airplane sorties did you get? Did you have to wear the sombrero? How do the instructors feel about the new training (from your student perspective)? Are FAIPs tools? *it's a yes or yes question* Does it suck?

Because you haven't met BQZip's mom yet

COVID: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-marks-1-million-americans-dead-covid-2022-05-12/ Afghanistan: Do I even need a link? Economy: check your pre-biden gas costs, interest rates, cost of ANYTHING YOU BUY DAILY compared to a normal CPI over the past 20 years. China... FFS. I quit. If you look at Biden and see "good leader" or "good for America" you have very likely lost objectivity. So....to you, a self declared moderate who has a rational fair minded liberal viewpoint: this statement intellectually and emotionally proclaims that anyone who isn't you is wrong. Let me say it again: You are declaring that everyone who thinks differently from you is wrong. Please mull that over. NO Stop your internet response and ACTUALLY THINK about what you just declared from a perspective that isn't yours. How moderate are you really? We need you. Do better.

Can you elaborate that? Seriously. I've heard numerous people say "DeSantis Sucks" but not a single one has built a rational reasoned argument to support that statement.

I present to you the future of American politicis...

Aside from the Offutt tube-of-shame, that's a great drop!

...so like pretty much all laws as of late? Gun ownership laws. Drug laws. Acceptance of money from a foreign power laws...

That right there should be enough to give people pause. I've read enough to convince me we're not actually all that close to a general AI, much less a singularity. Maybe within 30 years on general AI I think. But it can't be ignored that tech advancement has routinely jumped the safety barriers and resulted in leaps in practical functionality that defy human anticipation. The Germans and the tank at the beginning of WWII is a great example. AI could easily be like that where we don't know how it's actually advancing until it's too late.

FIFY. I completely agree with you, but let's not pretend like the Dragon was designed to actually be piloted. The astronauts are passengers in that thing with a few "oh shit" buttons within easy reach. Honestly, it's what we should expect out of the future of space travel, disappointing as it may be to knuckle dragging pilots.

Like the Korea and Vietnam hats, but for our generation.

As one of those independents he's talking about, this is disconcerting...but also seems highly accurate...which is disconcerting...

If they really need me, they can call up the retired reserve. I've got my kit cleaned and stored in easy reach. We kept the wolf on his side of the fence during my 20 years. Someone else's turn now. For the present, I've put an end of the USAF stepping into MY breach. He said "step into the breach." That can't be masturbation...can it?

All you people talking about pinning on O-6...you guys are F'in old.

I hope that tech finds its legs. Serious potential.
