In 2000, Al Gore conceded Florida on December 13th...just for a frame of reference for litigation purposes
That battle came down to 4x counties in Florida. But this time Trump will have to overturn 4x states (assuming he wins NC and Biden wins GA) to reclaim the 37 electoral votes he’ll need.
That’s why I say that it’ll never happen. It’s unaffordable and a horrible look for the Republicans.

Well this didn't age well.
To be fair, all the close states are correctly colored.

I’d guess the rest of the RNC is already doing discovery of their own, and will shortly stop supporting any lawsuits vocally and financially.
Lawsuits in multiple counties in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia? Nobody’s going to pay for that, and it’ll make them look like a bunch of litigious shits for 2024.
edit: to be clear, this is only a prediction with no specific source

Spoken like a stereotypical (thankfully it's a stereotype that the vast majority don't fall into) strat airlift pilot. You are ready for TACC.
Was responding to the idea that there’s nothing strategic in Eastern Iran by pointing out that the distance to the heart of Iran is similar to everywhere else.
Never been a strat airlift pilot, so you’ll have to fill that TACC job yourself.

It does not create anything of a “two front war” in a fight with Iran. There is literally nothing in eastern Iran worth worrying about. All it does is plant a strategically difficult place to resupply and sustain using high density low force protection nodes like BAF within the easy range of Iranian Ballistic Missiles.
Tehran is 550nm from Herat, 400nm from Kuwait, and 650nm from AlUdeid and Dhafra. Also, the route is significantly less defended. Maybe not worth the logistical expense, but it’s certainly not inconsequential.

Together with Air Education and Training Command (AETC), Air Force Global Strike Command is studying how it will take "some of these highly trained, capable, combat-experienced weapon systems officers ... that have skill sets that will be readily transferable to the B-21 in terms of employing that weapon system in a combat scenario," he said. "How do we give them the skills they would need for takeoff, landing, air refueling, some maneuvering types of skills, and piloting skills to help close that gap?"
WTF am I reading? He wants to give WSOs some pilot skills? Just takeoff, landing, and AR, lol. If only we had a 100 year old training program to do that.

Can anyone explain what the hype on the Kubernetes integration into the U-2 is all about? Is it like a massive software overhaul to make everything run more efficiently? I read the B-21 is going to use the same tech, I just don’t really understand what it’s doing. I’m not a computer science guy, so maybe I’m out of my depth!
Safe to say, here’s all the info you need: https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2375297/u-2-federal-lab-achieves-flight-with-kubernetes/

When I retire, I’m starting a business for the sole purpose of selling overpriced shit to the government.
Have you ever talked to the guys who work for contractors? Especially the small boutique ones that have a monopolistic sole-source contract for 100% of some random base function? Like when CE tells you they can’t fix something without a specific company present because otherwise it’s a contract violation.
All those companies are run by ex-SNCOs.

One of our guys is about to start 2.5...the overall timeline is about one month shorter than traditional UPT. So it doesn’t save any appreciable time getting guys to the operational AF, which is the problem they’re trying to solve. So, if it doesn’t produce more and faster, what is the benefit?
Hypothesis: it cooked the books enough to increase the production numbers for one particular leader’s tenure.

Uh...I don't even know how to respond to such a logic-free hypothesis.
Maybe next they can check to see if different t-shirt colors lead to higher graduation rates.
They do. We did away with black t-shirts and now everyone graduates UPT.

Senior military leaders often commit a perception error by assuming the rest of the world has been following their problems the entire time and will understand their solutions. Obviously, the man on the street has no idea about the micro-politics that take place in the AF, much less AETC.
So when the opposing sides of the media discover that our attempt at solving perceived organizational bias is literally segregation, those AETC leaders are going to have a really hard time explaining their decisions in the one sentence they’ll be afforded.

Again, it sounds like you guys could solve this mystery annually at Gunfighter Flag! Post results here.

Sounds like some flying competitions will be in order. Same jets, one has a WSO in it.

Heinous. Be sure to cite the root causes in the AIBs.

...from what He understands, there’s a plan being floated around about making the UPT 2.5 Toner phase (about 3 months) SIM only with no actual T1 time.
Just what the MAF needs, worse hands. No way this is real.

And I would immagine what the drone lacks in sensory/data collection can be partially made up for in greatly enhanced performance characteristics. From what I gathered from the video the AI was flying another F-16? But a purpose designed drone without life support, pink bodies, ejection seats, glass canopy, displays, etc..... Opens up some advantages in airframe design for sure.
Just imagine if the drone was rocket-powered instead of air breathing! Like Mach 4 speed. And I bet we could make it pull 30g. And of course, there’s no human in there so we could give it a one-way mission. So we’d better make them cheap - like less than $1m each - and light so one fighter could control 8 or even as many as 20 of them. They can even have little radars or IR sensors in their noses, but they wouldn’t need them until close in because the controlling fighter (the mothership!) is guiding them most of the way to their target.

Where was the AI getting the human PPLI from? The human was using his eyeballs, I suspect the AI had perfect data.

There’s a disorder called Face Blindness that keeps people from recognizing different faces. These people (maybe including brickhistory) simply have Flanker Blindness and don’t understand why the rest of us would care.

My opinion: morale and operational efficiency are degraded when functions that must work together are in different commands.
U-2s at overseas locations are mostly organized as every function under one umbrella: ops, mx, intel, life support, supply, logistics, personnel, comm, and even security forces in some cases. There are always some bumps in the road, but everyone knows who they work for: their U-2 pilot commander that suits up and blasts off on a mission right in front of them.
How I know that cross-functional team model is effective: the exact same people RTB home and start working for different commanders that report to group commanders who report to a wing commander, and everything slows down.

Life is much easier if you just hate all politicians. Then you can just call them out whenever they say bullshit rather than trying to figure out how to defend their ridiculousness.
