  1. Very Boris Johnson energy
  2. This is only half the equation. Let’s see what the other 5 star backer does before we fling ourselves off the edge of the quarry.
  3. I can already tell that helobious isn’t impressed
  4. After a modicum of thought, I’m leaning towards the opinion that if we really did obliterate the site, even if the uranium wasn’t there and there are sites elsewhere ready to be spun up, shouldn’t we release our evidence and brag on our capability? Is there a downside? Images of the site, whatever we have that everyone knows we have. the b2 is a known entity, the only thing that would change is the weight capacity floor goes up. Ok. The range is still unknown without the refueling details. The ordinance is known but untested in real world situations. If it worked, let’s advertise that fact. If we can really prove what he is claiming, shouldn’t we?
  5. 1) is it difficult to fly that plane? 2) the bulk of the 36 hours is it in some sort of autopilot setting just level flying, way above any other air traffic, right? 3) is there more than one pilot aboard these bombers that can rotate watch/active flying? What makes the mission difficult? What makes it complicated? A to B, pull lever to drop 2 bombs, B to A. For 6 or 7 planes. Midair refueling in between that I would assume gets trained on constantly. Fuel planes from whatever bases are nearby the refueling area go up on time and loiter.
  6. Are cap numbers based on likelihood of payout?
  7. You’d have to think that any fight with Georgia doesn’t end in the summer if they really want the player. They might think the same of Texas.
  8. I watched Milius some years ago and I don’t recall them mentioning Shaw’s editing of that monologue.
  9. Took until this episode (6) but I’m finally feeling like i care enough to root for Owen Wilson’s character. Not the kid yet though. Been rooting for Marin throughout.
  10. Your link’s author employs this bit of language, which puts my guard immediately up as having a political agenda.
  11. Here, read more. https://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2022/05/06/did-the-japanese-offer-to-surrender-before-hiroshima-part-2/ this is all new to me, and both of these are from sources that I don’t know are trustworthy. But it tend towards the non-conspiratorial end of things absent definitive proof, so I think I’ll remain skeptical of this.
  12. It’s pretty much all west of the Rockies.
  13. It’s the American flags on the covering and default home screen image that make it American.
  14. Must have been weird to have all the bombers circling to see the results of the bombs they dropped.
  15. It’s not July 7 yet? or maybe it’s in person access only that is affected and that note is dumbly vague?
  16. Dresden sounded pretty successful.
