Finally learned what gamergate was only to realize that it was one of the stupidest things to ever happen

Just a happy MiG-21F-13 pilot.

The people on this site are not getting the brunt of my mariners freakout. I am doing this kinda shit alone in my apartment. It's been my entire life man

Maybe @aeck.bsky.social & @heatloss.bsky.social will like these.

My thanks to @massiasthanos.bsky.social for bringing to my attention this application on Ti on the A3J Vigilante.

A3J Vigilante - the gold plated, titanium giraffe🧵 The North American Aviation A3J (first flight 31 August 1958) was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time, especially in terms of manufacturing technologies.

Conferences are fun and also exhausting

This website prides itself on being better than Twitter but I don't really see it anymore

Not beating the kegseth allegations

New article is up on my website and my substack. open.substack.com/pub/heatloss... www.greatdefensesite.org/articles/the...

MiG-23 turn rate🧵 One important fighter aircraft performance parameter, for close range air combat, is turn rate [ω, measured in °/s]. I will be comparing the maximum sustained & instantaneous turning ability of the MiG-23, with that of other contemporary fighters.

Since the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US Navy's ability to conduct air superiority and offensive strikes has been slowly diminishing. Today, we stand at an inflection point, where the F/A-XX program to deliver a new strike fighter to the Navy is in Jeopardy. 🧵

Another one of these posts. I'm going to be in Atlanta from the 31st to the 5th. If I follow you, and you're going to be in the area and want to say hi, let me know.

i haven't had a migraine in 5 days which is... a long time for me

emgality is a fucking miracle drug we're back on the horse boys, sidewinder video is being worked on again

I feel your pain. Is it too much to ask for an Off button? Will it be a paid option? The good old days where "" meant something.

For my entire life I have been taught about the importance of effective searches. Since May 2024, I have fought with an unwanted feature that has made my experience worse. A rant about "AI Overview," AI assisted search and their impact on using Google as a tool for research.🧵

"tough on china" "security focused" "a new approach" My nuts

Delighted to be able to talk with aviation historian @heatloss.bsky.social about his pet peeves in the histography on the development of the F-15. youtu.be/B5amfajYk6E

other site news: Iraqveteran8888 goes and posts the 109/110 thing unironically I make fun of it My replies turn into a target rich environment

Pondering my NGAD

We're gonna talk about something fun, cool, not political tonight. The stuff I wanted to use this account for and have degrees and papers and a career in. We're gonna talk about why steel is a wonder material, probably the material of the future, not just the last century. Yes, there's a graph.

They will be waiting forever

"school abolition theory" is the most unemployed thing I've ever read

I enjoy greatly when I order food 4 star spicy and get an honest 4 star instead of "4 stars" but its still mild

Why aren't the Turks ordering American? Because they chose S-400 over F-35. We generally don't sell our best equipment to countries that have deals with hostile nations like China or Russia.

On this day in 1996 Dutch aircraft company Fokker went into bankruptcy. During its most successful period in the 1920s and 1930s, Fokker dominated the civil aviation market. Today Fokker Technologies (GKN) designs, develops, and produces aircraft structures and landing gear.

Why do so many OSRS quests involve getting someone drunk????

You're kidding, right? These are what we're supposed to be taking seriously? Get lost. If you win CCA I am convinced you're bribing this admin x.com/RALee85/stat...

Interesting. I will be looking into this

That said, some of you have asked about good ways to support me financially. The best way is through Patreon. I've updated some of the tiers to be more accessible.

For years, I've been working towards building a website to house all of my opinions and research. Today, it goes live with the launch article: Jet Fighter Generations Aren't Real. This website comes with a major change in how I produce and share content, so please read. 🧵

Things are happening finally

I may be a boomer at 24 but I think @techconnectify.bsky.social made a banger. This is good and something I've been yelling at a cloud about for years youtu.be/QEJpZjg8GuA

I need a good quote for my homepage. This is mostly for my fellow professionals to comment on. Something you've run across in a document that has stuck with you.

Muting Tom Brady, turning on the Philly police scanner

Day 2074 of being really upset that the F-22 was never given the chance to be the fifth gen F-15A/C

Politicians are now celebrities. A majority of conversations I have with people now devolve into politics. Why? Because it's all that's in the news. I don't have the energy to focus on it constantly. There is far too much hostility and negativity for me to handle daily. 1/5

Consider that if this happens, kids will be watching the debate in history class in 2125
