Honestly they could probably just get away with upgrading the A10's design with some of the newer alloys we’ve discovered since the 70s and 80s and maybe see if there’s a newer engine that does just as well for less fuel. I mean shit it’s been in service almost 40 years, I’m sure there’s some upgrades that could be…

Not sure which I’m sickened more by, the idiot who couldn’t get over getting shot down and decided killing another person over it was fine, or the people in the peanut gallery:

I don’t know if that would be entirely possible without a lot of retrofitting on the active a-10s, and we still run into the issue of the airframes getting older and needing more and more maintenance to keep flying, in the long run it would be easier, and possible cheaper in the maintenance costs to make a new…

Obligatory.

.....I am reminded of an episode of SG1....I think it was the one with the space nazis...

Not really, though on another forum the general belief is that the gen 6 fighter is going to be for all intents a hybrid bastard child of the raptor and the tomcat, and have less focus on stealth and more focus on bringing a few thousand pounds of pain.

Oh I know, I just mean there’ll be even more noise after they try to replace everything currently in service with it.

and in 15 years it’ll probably be the f22s and 35s that’ll be being bitched about.

#1 for me. not going to shell out 70 bucks for a game until I know for a fact it will run on my computer. I know the specs say it should but I’ve been burned about 5 times on pc games that just straight up didn’t work until I upgraded my computer.

Worst offender was fallout 4 where a computer bought two months prior…

I was gonna say they could be Nids...but eye of terror spawn works too.

Reminds me of the time in middle school I made a hovercraft out of plywood, tarp and a shop vac and we got four of the linebackers from the football team to stand on it.

But only for a few seconds.

Sooooo...are they going to do the same thing to TF2 randomized and x10 servers?

I really should just have this bookmarked. Here’s how I imagine the response to Honda went.

Hmmm...can’t edit my posts, can’t select photos to make a witty comment... perhaps I might need to read up on the changes to kinja...

Bunny ears go here.

and I’ll tell you the whole story next week.

seriously, my first thought was “akira”.

To be fair you probably should replace your airbags after 10 years anyway (if not sooner) because the detcord (that’s what’s “inflates” the airbag) only has a stable shelf-life of about 5 years before it stops activating reliably.

oddly topical.
