as alive as you need me to be

  • I am glad you made this comment about the MiG 31 so I didn't have to, lol.

    Fancy schmancy j58 turbo "ram" jet with convoluted design that has two different afterburner / bypass loop modes, with crazy air bypass/recycling plumbing?

    Nah, fuck that.

    Just make the entire engines out of titanium and nickel, we have a lot of that shit in Siberia, and, use a fuck off huge heat exchanger system in the single bypass loop.

    Also, this quote:

    During the flight research period, two aircraft were lost - the first prototype and the first production one. There were no casualties, and this, in comparison with the results of other machines being created, was quite a good indicator.

    Apparently this is where you go when you're too old to know what a 'Warthunder' is, lol.

  • Huh. I legitimately did not know that.

    Thanks!

  • So the update on the guy who threatened to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson:

    He has been threatened and intimidated via online communications, he has lawyered up, he sent what he had to a journalism outlet to be vetted and potentially published, his lawyers have advised him to make no further claims publically, his original video was removed by TikTok...

    ... and he has fled his home and the state he is originally from, and reports that he can see people he doesn't know traipsing around his property via his remotely accesible home security cams.

    Soooo... yeahhh....

    Oh right and because his line of work was somewhere between comedian and actor, he can longer work, as... nobody will touch him.

    God Bless America, Let Freedom Ring.

    EDIT:

    I'd say this is a fair summary of what has occurred.

    Also, hilariously, knowyourmeme also has a decent summary of what has occured, with links to the now removed video.

    His gofundme for his legal defense fund.

    Also, ... basically any Tiktokker who has shared that original (now removed by Tiktok) video from razzledazzlemo is getting the Tiktok moderation team cracking down on them, Tiktok is actively suppressing this.

    You can probably thank Larry Ellison for that.

  • I genuinely do not know, what?

  • Well, I said "try ... sometime", but also... greasy foods are to be particularly avoided when one has a flu?

    I... its not that I don't believe that is a thing that does or could make sense, I've just never heard of that before.

    Also, you can prepare chorizo, potatoes and scrambled eggs in ways that are not as greasy, sure they are still greasier than many other things, but you don't have to do it in maybe, typical street vendor or highly rapid restaurant fashion, with grease dripping out like a cheap pizza slice at a bar.

  • Well that is at least somewhat less bad news for my neighbor.

  • There we go, there, that actually makes sense to me, thank you!

    I want to know what a corpo hobbyist traditionalist language is though, lol.

    Like uh... I make vba / excel macros in my spare time for fun, lol?

  • Damn.

    Guess my vet apartment neighbor with the necrotic leg from a freak infrection of a flesh-eating virus...

    ... will not be getting that scheduled amputation and prosthetic.

  • Wait, what?

    I am genuienly surprised to hear this... I mean... cool... I guess?

    That... there's more fiber lines than I thought there... was?

    But also yeah that doesn't make any business sense to me either.

    Unless they're planning on building a data center there in the near future.

    Then, that might make a lot of sense.

    Oh well, I'm still pissed that we gave ISPs like half a trillion dollars or whatever to build out fiber around a decade ago, and because that law was written by lobbyists, well it was apparently legal for said ISPs to just throw most of that money at stock buybacks and C suite stock packages, and then there were never any consequences for that.

    Either way, I'll take not blazing fast speeds and no datacap over... literally any plan with a data cap, anyday.

  • The PokeCenter is also closed due to goverment shutdown, Nuzlocke mode is now in effect.

  • Its not perfect to replace for all those rural households, but a 5G based internet 'gateway' is an affordable and viable option for people at least somewhere near a 5G tower.

    Unlike that national fiber build out that never really happened to anywhere near the extent that was promised, its not that expensive to set up a 5G cell tower, and for users its eaaay cheaper than any satellite internet, including Starlink.

  • Pete Kegbreath's guide on how to engineer a military coup against yourself in no time.

  • Mike Johnson needs to be slapped in the face with a cock untill he publically admits he likes it, and has in fact liked that for a long, long time already.

    Release the Grindr profile.

  • Yeah they've run with this forever, just... strongly implying that somehow, people who aren't citizens and don't have SSNs somehow get Medicare/Medicaid.

    You can't, its fraud if you steal someone's identity to do that, and that barely ever happens compared to how often just some Byzantine morass of paperwork results in an over or underpayment for a legitimate person... and when those exceptionally rare fraud cases did get caught, off to jail for that person...

    But, brown people bad, I guess.

    I think this may be the first time they've actually tried to... point at something and prove that Dems are actually pushing for laws that would do that, but I have also lost track.

    I would say this whole line of logic has always struck me as odd... as... I am on Medicare, and ... presumably so are millions of poor Republicans... and presumably they, you know, applied, which requires an SSN...

    But then I remember I'm not a rabid racist and I can actually read, so it starts to make some sense as to how these people can be this monumentally stupid.

  • mild confusion, followed by"YEEHAW!!", followed by excited aerial gunfire

  • Try chorizo, potato and scrambled eggs sometime.

    Absolutely kickass breakfast burrito, get real chorizo tho

  • Oh my god I somehow forgot that Reddit IPO8ng means I get to read stories like this.

    Oh no, the world's most poorly managed and funded corporate social media website's with a publically traded stock is tanking, oh nooooo!

    Ahahahah!

    F I G H T !

  • Well thank you lol.

    Yes, this, making internet comments, this is why I got an Econ degree and a Poli Sci degree, apparently.

    Would have been neat if anyone listened to anything I was saying, in a professional or personal capacity, for the last 20ish years, but uh, nope, nope, so now we get fascism and economic collapse, and I get to be way, way too sullen to eek out an 'I told you so'.

    Holy shit this all sucks so much.
