I also bet he blames his inability to get dates on feminism.

Wow. Just wow. That manifesto is one of the most solid forms of birth control I’ve EVER read.

Yes, I notice all those ‘cowering targets’ out there—the ones that just elected the Oaf in the Oval Office.

Gosh, it’s so hard to get through life as an unchallenged tool. Poor Brandon. Poor, poor Brandon.

Didn’t you guys ever read the story of chicken little?

I completed a round of golf in 18 strokes. I figured if I couldn’t get to the first hole after that many I should quit. Plus a bunch of other golfers had pointed out their clubs could be used on more than golf balls.

What was criticized was the simultaneous research-build, not the tech. I’ve worked on a few projects like that where the prototype was going through development testing at the same time production was in progress. It shortens the schedule but it makes any problem ten to a hundred times more expensive to sort out as…

Trump probably noticed the lack of coal bins and just put it down to having missed it on the tour. He knows there should be people down there shoveling, like in that James Cameron documentary.

Electromagnetic rail systems aren’t theoretical or a dead end though. The design is pretty straight forward and it works in a number of applications; it’s just never been applied to this kind of situation so there are inevitably some engineering challenges, but not questions of science.

Yeah ok. Just Trump running off on something he literally has no fucking clue about, for only the 100th time this week.

That’s not what was written about this carrier on FA last, but why bother looking in to it when you can just go with what it FEELS like to you?

Psst: that’s the entire problem this article, and the rest of the world, have with Donald Trump. He has no goddamned idea what he’s talking about, openly admits it, refuses to…

Reporting on the dumb shit Trump says is not being “anti-Trump” it is reporting on the dumb shit POTUS is saying.

But not as bad as the cyber

I don’t think the F-35 should be completely scrapped at this point. More like a lesson learned for the next time the U.S. has to embark on a major procurement project. One-size-fits-all actually ends up fitting nobody very well.

Yep, EMALS as it stands is not great! But like I said, it’s a new system, and the kinks will likely be worked out eventually. Since the Ford-class is designed to have it, however, it would be a massive undertaking to reconfigure the whole ship to use it. It would cost huge amounts of both time and money.

I think this is the article you recall: http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-pentagons-concurrency-myth-is-now-available-in-supe-1689810660 Correct me if I’m wrong.

So yes the previous article was critical of the EMALS system. The article wasn’t calling for re-planning of the ship. The article largely focused on the problem with the design and build schedules where the technology and integration efforts were being figured out concurrent to the construction of the ship. The idea…

That article is 2 years old.... you must have very little faith in our Navy and General Atomics that they can’t get something to work in 2 years.

I felt that previous article was more about how the new launch system wasn’t ‘mature’ enough yet and should have been more fully developed before being put in place.

Ah yes the old “If YOU have evidence, let’s see it” gambit. As if I’m going to Google and paste links for you to read, which will of course change your mind.
