You talk a lot of shit for someone who has been demonstrably wrong about everything. It’s actually rather amusing. You’re like the Donald Trump of Foxtrot Alpha.

You were CLEARLY the edgiest kid who was ever forced to sit through Sunday school.

You really suck at research. F-22 *cruises* (M1.72) faster than the F-35 can fly at all (M1.61).

This isn’t analogous to brain surgery. Designer babies are more like plastic surgery. Elective modifications for lifestyle purposes. Nose jobs are available, but they’re not cheap.

That monopoly is called “medical training” and you need people with it to do this. In case you didn’t know, those people’s time is expensive.

What if we can make people be able to drink salt water? Then the super rich that can actually afford this will start a line of exclusive luxury bottled salt waters and will circle jerk to the subtle differences in each one like they do now with expensive wine.

This is exactly how it would be used, likely for decades after approval. Gene editing is by nature a bespoke solution. There is no known way to commodify the process make it suitable for mass production/consumption. It will be expensive.

As I said, you can’t bluster your way out of actual facts. That’s not cruising, it’s coasting. The jet uses burners to breach max speed and then reduces to military thrust and flys along a straight line (in this case for about 12 whole minutes) until falling to a sustainable speed. That trick is not new or unique to…

Like I said, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Hint: the missile never reaches mach 4 if you launch it too low or too slow.

You appear to have no idea what you’re talking about. A large LARGE part of maximizing missile range launch speed. It’s why combat jets like the F-15, 16 and 35 were designed to go supersonic at all, even though the engines amd fuel system weren’t built to sustain such speeds for more than 5 minutes. Hit burners,…

Good poin . There are a lot of awful people in Texas. I suggest we solve it with nuclear weapons.

No, those are fucking awful. You never give a straight answer to a loaded question and that’s entirely what that jackass did.

To be fair, they’re not facing down Felix Leiter or Jason Bourne. They’re flinging poo at the douche bag son of some congressman’s wealthy donor buddy who had the connections to get him a posh government job where he couldn’t do any real harm.

Maybe I should clarify. Sure, STOVL affects the B mod, as they have to cut a lot of weight and move around some internals to make it work. Hence how the CTOL is rated for 9G and the STOVL 7G, because the USAF model had enough left in its larger weight budget for the necessary reinforcement.

No...STOVL doesn’t affect speed or turning, just range (space is used for fuel on A & C models).People who have suggested otherwise were talking out of their asses. There’s 2 reasons why that chart looks like that. 1) F-15 and F-22 are LARGE and expensive twin engine air superiority fighters, different class of jet…

We already did that and it’s called the AIM-120D. it and AIM-54 are in the 80nm class (Phoenix was not able to engage fighters at more than that), which is as far as any RoE would allow.

I think you mean PRC. “PROC” is not a generally used or accepted abbreviation for China. It’s like calling America “USOA”. Confusing and counter to practice.

PRC is still industrializing. It would be surprising if it didn’t spend vastly more than the US on *any* kind of infrastructure.

They’re not waiting in line for paper products, but certain foods are hard to find since Russia’s self-inflicted embargo. Russian men still drink themselves into an early too, though white uneducated Americans have joined them.

Umm...no, that’s not how the world works. It’s not a board game with unalterable rules. Turkey can simply pull out of the treaty, and if everyone but Russia let’s them do (which they can do by simply remaining neutral), they get away with it unless Russia wants to use force (against a NATO member) to try to return the…
