    No joke.  This "accommodation" is now discussed as a "feature."  Ridiculous.

    3XL (and probably any other amoled notched phone) looks good with an app called nacho notch. You can black out the...ears, I guess you could call them...so that it just displays the status icons.  You can also move it all down below the notch if you like that better.

    Curious to see if this is an incil or not 

    Reading tweets and shit from him, he appears to be an older nutjob Nazi type dude who thinks the Jews are an "infestation" and were...bringing in immigrants to kill...I dunno he said "our people," thinks Trump is controlled by the Jews and is a "globalist," and figured Hitler was just the best or some such.  There's a lot of crazy in the tweets.

    E: Oh Holocaust denier, although, I mean, that probably doesn't really need to be said.

  3. That's good info, thanks. That pilot went from an F-15 to a B-2? B-2s are super cool, but damn that's a big change.

    Re the British carriers, yeah they're big.  Interesting layout too.  I did see something about how they started talking about changing them back to CATOBAR, which was supposed to be sort of a thing that was available in the design, but surprise! it turned out that the builder (BAe?) hadn't bothered to keep the ability to change configurations relatively easily and cheaply, and the UKs mod hadn't held them to it, etc, so they were sol. 

    They're also going to be having USMC 35Bs flying off of the first one on its first deployment, so that's interesting too.

  4. There are already radars that can "see" them, although iirc they tend to have to be lower frequency types, which is problematic for targeting (depends on the angle and such though). Even those can be used to, say, steer an IRST equipped fighter in that direction though. 

    Against a nation with things like that, it's more of a way for them to get closer to be able to do their thing, rather than be totally invisible.

    Well, that's kinda every fighter we've built since the 70's save the 15 and 22.  Allegedly, I don't know if it's true, the 35 was designed to turn and fight like a 16.

    It's supposed to be more along the lines of the F-18 when it comes to turning/dogfighting/etc, IIRC.  The (original) F-16 and things like the Su-27 and all that, are on a different level.

     

    E:  The F-35A, that is.  The over versions have some limitations in that area, I believe.  The C (Navy model) is less maneuverable for sure, with the B (VTOL) version at least being sorter ranged and probably heavier, although I haven't really bothered to look.  The requirements for that one seem like they fucked up the whole thing, but then again, the Harrier is becoming a deathtrap, so...

    Ball

    They sent me an email re: another limited edition (1000 per type, so it isn't super exclusive) watch they've come up with.  The last two have been diver types, so I've been having a hard time laying off.  Interesting thing about this one is they've stuck an in-house COSC certified movement with an 80h power reserve in it:

    The temperature scale on it is odd, but a regular three hand one is tempting.  Good price too.
