Tragically the plane crashed into a surface to air missile.

Edit: yeah, this is actually what happened, no subtlety here, damn.

I'm not going to try to explain mission readiness, this is low, but the target is closer to 70%, so while it isn't great, it's not like it's half of what's expected.

Jets are complicated, they spend a lot of time in maintenance and inspection for each out of flight, its because they're optimized for performance while passenger jets are optimized for endurance, safety and cost.

F35s are terrible jets for peacetime, as are most fighter jets. For combat they're probably a lot better, they're basically f16s with worse maneuverability, but better range, sensors, weapons and of course stealth, 1 f35 is worth at least 3 f16s.

But even this doesn't matter, the next generation will be 80% drones, drones have phenomenal mission readiness ratings, often 90% or higher.

As someone who is very concerned about the escalation of this war into a possible global conflict, I can only say it seems like it would be a very wise and prudent move for Russia to withdraw all troops from Ukraine (including Crimea) immediately, in the name of peace.

Do we know of anyone who Trump might be worried about upsetting if he said he wanted Ukraine to win? Anyone at all?

That question is awkwardly worded, why are you putin it that way?

A former model who was a finalist in the Miss Switzerland contest was allegedly murdered and “pureed” in a blender by her husband, officials in Switzerland are reported to have said.

That's, that's a brand new sentence.

Also impressed by their indoor plumbing and magic screens with tiny people talking!

I'm fine with the former, the latter should be "no derivatives that attempt to relicense for commercial use".

Saying "no forks" is as anti-OSS as you get really, short of hiding all the code under your mattress ala MSFT.

Guarantee that's just the tip of the iceberg, these small towns are all about small families and groups stealing federal and state money for themselves while crying about how the outsiders are oppressing them.

No real press to call them on it so they get away with whatever they like.

Begun, the clone wars, have.

NATO: staying in Ukraine would put Russia 'at war' with NATO.

Considering your army can't take Ukraine, this really a fight you want to pick?

God, it really is the Russian religion that they're the only strong ones and everyone else is just so spoiled and weak, as your oligarchs tell you, from their mega yachts.

Hey, will you look at the time!

Its 'generate political cover for the Tories privatizing the NHS' o'clock again!

2024 is going to be a bad, bad year.

Remembering that made me spit out my covefe.

That venn diagram would make a functional wheel.

Its France, your logic has no power here!

An Allegedly Corrupt Russian Commander

Yeah this title was written by the department of redundancy department.

Nobody wants it, they just want brighter lights for themselves to compensate for being blinded by the brighter lights of others, but actually to retaliate, nobody can have brighter brights than me!

We'd need regulations for this, which we'd never get, especially after the Chevron doctrine was reversed.

The moderator answered that, because it was a moronic question to ask.

Is anyone, anywhere in the West afraid of this happening?

It might just be time to shut them the fuck up for good.

The Jews would have had peace if they'd just let themselves be taken to camps peacefully.

This is less funny because Russia literally did commit a holocaust in Ukraine.

We really need them for boomers, for the world's sake.

It was ww2, the whole thing started with Nanking, then battle of Britain, the nasty shit in the Philippines, the Eastern front, all of it, dresden, then the firebombing of half of Japan.

So yeah, but calling warcrime in ww2 is a bit like calling offsides in a preschool soccer match.

Do everywhere

Which is ironically the same as the $1999 xPhone 24 Pro Max XXL Z-Flip 4d-folding hextuple AI 8k camera with Bionic 10Ghz chip including real neurons from last year.

200+% over 10 years, refid in 2019 or so.

Feel like I won the lottery.

It's not fucking sustainable and it's cruel to anyone younger.

Ok, wow, this is a fucked up thread.

I just came here to say "More power to her!", she's setting an incredible example and we need to turn back the misogyny and just general sexual violence that we've had in society since time immemorial.

I don't understand why they use pornhub, it's so much easier for them to get actual sex with their favorite dating app: 23andme.

Congress is corrupt, but they're just corrupt, they don't care about much beyond self-enrichment.

The BJP is MAGA on crack with 500x as much religious zealotry pitched in.

Muslim genocide isn't that outrageous to them, there were several instances where they rallied to butcher Muslims in the past.

Same 'Americans' who wave the flag of a country that fought and killed 'Americans' for daring to believe in the concept of freedom.

Every country has its trash, we just give ours a megaphone.

I'm going to go ahead and say it:

That sounds very low for pakistan, I think they're heavily undercounting.

He was supposed to be limited to 2 terms as general secretary, the only person to break that tradition was Mao.

His anti-corruptiom prosecutions also happened to be anti-rival prosecutions.

He does have absolute power, sort of, there is just no direct path to remove or bypass him. It's like we have no direct path to become president without winning an election, though we do have indirect paths that should never happen save for exceptional circumstances.

I think he looks forward to the end of an ongoing genocide in Ukraine, and karma having its day

This happened before, IBM sold global foundries to amd, who used it till they went broke and spun glofo off.

They had problems keeping up on tech, but they did spin a ton of defense silicon happily.

Intel fabs unleashed could be a second path, right now I would probably not consider a tape out to anyone other than tsmc, or maybe Samsung, but Intel might be an option.

The only issue is: I think they'd probably be assholes, I suspect they used to be to their internal customers, that's why things like their fovea chiplets got caught for a decade in their internal politics during knights landing.

Tsmc are good to work with, you trust them and they try to make sure your design will work. Intel would have a lot of work on the libraries and other stuff (which they should have done more on with the altera integration) before I'd trust them to handle my design.

The smart move would be to work with some clients to generate portability libraries for their IP to make it easier to come over from tsmc.

Noah, fuck the boat.

You just described basically the whole south.

I'm sorry, this, for once, seems like an actual job for social media.

I don't see a problem with doxxing and cyberbullying anyone who tools up to a food bank in a late-model beemer.

If Ukraine had fallen, China would have pushed a blockade on Taiwan, the domestic pressure on Xi would have been insurmountable, especially after our mess in Afghanistan.

Zelensky had the clutch save, if he took that ride things would have gotten dark.

He needed to take Moscow, only chance he had to survive.
