Have you been asleep for the past 2.5 years?

Ole Transheuser-Busch is taking it from all angles now! BQZip’s mom has got nothing on them.

At the risk of sounding like a DW cheerleader the Exodus series is outstanding as well. It’s not meant to be evangelistic and is lead by Jordan Peterson and includes Jewish, secular, and Christian scholars/thinkers exploring the second book of the Bible/Torah historically with an eye towards its implications and impact on Western thinking over the ages. The series digs deep and thoughtfully looks at the text from several perspectives. The series won’t convince you of the Gospel (and doesn't try to) but it will def make you think about the book’s significance in shaping all of us who grew up in the West as well as an appreciation for the benefits to society of believing in the existence of God/a god/higher being. Highly recommended for everybody, religious or atheist.

In all fairness, I’m pretty sure that was C model driver boning his crew chief at Kadena.

Dude, lots of emotion going here. Step back a second. You share way more in common than is fully evident

Bud Light has rightfully been taking it hard (sts) the last few weeks.

Back to important stuff like making fun of bud light.

Has anybody else on here who sat alert in SAC watched the Cold War docu-series on DW? It’s well done and covers 1945 and the end of WWII through the fall of the Berlin Wall all the way to 1991. I just finished episode 4. It’s well done and worth the watch (so far anyway) for history buffs and/or those who are old enough to have served during that time. it’s not as historically accurate as Dr. Strangelove but it’s pretty close.

Scientific American (allegedly a science focused magazine) goes full retard with some moronic professor at Princeton claiming to disprove the human gender binary. Even advanced degrees can’t save someone from being a complete dumbass. Basically lots of word salad nonsense that ends with … humans have dif. interests and personalities. No shit Sherlock, now outline details on the third sex you discovered! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp=true

Come on you right wing conspiracy nuts the trannies and bone-smugglers aren’t grooming/targeting your kids.

Even thinking about drones. Is there any benefit (operational, psychological) in making a cockpit type environment for the crew? Would we see increased positive outcomes by building augmented environments for them to operate within. Make it feel more like they are in the aircraft and actually over the target area. The expense might far outweigh any benefit, but the ability to realistically do this is almost here.

Probably included both AR and VR in the actual examples I used. AR seems to really allow using less expensive to operate aircraft to simulate 5th gen capabilities (Red6’s current focus from what i understand). So flying 4th gen or even earlier training type aircraft to reduce cost while augmenting feel/performance/capabilities to simulate the caps of 5th gen friends and adversaries. My thinking, from a tech guy perspective, is that our focus seems to be on VR (perfecting simulations) in current training but with an eye towards blurring the line between VR and AR. Not sure, but guessing that as VR and AR capabilities advance we’ll be able to reduce training costs. And, as these tools advance in realism, we’ll be able to maintain realistic proficiency for experts and not just training for students. My university has tech labs set up for VR and I’ve done some work with them on training programs for TN law enforcement. Just wondering aloud how these technological advancements in both VR and AR are going to shake out.

I know Red6 is deeply involved with augmented reality (AR) in the fighter pilot training environment but are they working with the Air Force on UPT 2.5 and/or sim only UPT? the more realistic the simulated flight environment is, the better you’d expect outcomes to be for the student. The better AR gets i can see it being used more and more for all types of training including pilots, firefighters, surgeons, swat/police, etc. It’s not cheap, but cheaper than actual flight and if advances continue, i expect more AR type training and less actual flight time for all future pilots.

UPT or C-21.

I know he doesn’t have a chance, but Vivek def seems to say the right things.

Hyperbole much Mark1? He’s a douche but def didn’t do everything in his power to overthrow anything. The left knows that but still insists on wild exaggeration (you still working for msnbc?). Sadly I’m afraid in 2024 we’ll have to choose again from 2 liberals (the incumbent leaning hard towards leftist now) who are mostly in it for themselves. Where are visionaries and strong servant leaders when we need them. If dementia Joe dies before the election, we’ll be stuck with Kamala (ygtbsm) to finish out and then an election with Newsom or Buttplug running, which will mean we’re still screwed by incompetence and irrationality.

Driverless cars will require a 100% participation approach to realize any claimed safety and efficiency gains. All cars linked together in constant communication. It will also require limits on spontaneity (the lead time for changes to routes/destinations/intermediate stops) which many times is a cause of issues/crashes currently. It will be interesting to see development over the next 10 to 20 years.

He usually has pretty well thought through analysis. In this case, sadly for the country, we seem to be headed right where he’s predicting.

The non radical democrats vote against women’s sports.

NS listed at least one in his last post … Chuck Schumer is a complete leftist douchebag! add Nancy P and a few other influential leftist leading his non-radicalized, non commie, doesn’t care about DEI party

I’d suggest going back and rereading history with a more open mind to the truth. Overwhelming secular humanism in the modern West is why we’re where we are currently and their intent is to eliminate Christianity and welcome in the current gender confusion and all the other alphabet nonsense. Just because humans are fallen creatures prone to sin, doesn’t mean Christianity is wrong or has caused any of the examples you threw out. And without it, I shudder to think where the world would be. I recognize terrible things have been and are still done in the name of Christianity, but adherence to Christianity caused the Western world to grant rights to women and see them as equal partners with men, finally free the slaves (way later than it should have happened), recognize the inherent dignity of each person, value human life, value the nuclear family, value classical education (schools in NA were all founded by Christians), value individual liberty and freedom from oppression, etc etc.

The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation lays out the order in this world and in God’s design (even the relationship between Christ and the Church is illustrated by the bridegroom and the bride). The whole Bible unapologetically claims the only sexual relationship that is within Gods will/plan is between a husband and wife. Anything sexual outside of that is sin. You’d have to ignore the whole Canon of scripture to believe that homosexual activity is not sinful. As far as that research, pew research also showed that more than 50% of claimed Christians in America also claim to believe that casual sex is not sinful. Almost 25% also claimed that Christ’s death and resurrection are not necessary for reconciliation with God the Father (salvation). There’s a ton of secular Protestants and Catholics who claim the label of Christian but don’t actually believe in Biblical Christianity. Only God knows their heart, but denying necessary Christian beliefs and claiming Christianity seems suspect. I acknowledge we’re all hypocrites too often, but disbelief in essential doctrine is more than hypocrisy. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/08/31/half-of-u-s-christians-say-casual-sex-between-consenting-adults-is-sometimes-or-always-acceptable/
