The financial services company I work for employs 5k people. Everyone has HM chairs.

Of course, society could stop giving tax breaks to huge corporations, and fund the IRS so that tax revenues are effectively generated. We know who has the political power in society, it has little to do with age demographics.

I'm sorry, when did I ask you for tone-policing? You seem to be taking any criticism of SO as overblown, and your comments are dismissive of how many user's post of how they felt they were treated on SO.

This wasn't present when I was using SO.

Oh I'm wrong. You get all of ONE karma point to use for either a question (that will get closed) or one answer. Earning karma is fundamentally impossible for anyone who isn't living on SO.

This view is exactly why SO is dying. It's elitist and exclusionary. It's the same as the grognards who autoreply RTFM to everyone. SO could have been a place where someone could post a question, and a decent search algorithm coul

My flight this month was the opposite; they already have all the flight manifests, so they just asked for ID.

I love butter. Especially the Irish butter that just tastes so much better than "normal" butter. Either butter is significantly cheaper at Costco than our grocery stores. I buy like 10lbs and it lasts a few months of cooking etc.

Most housecats (that are allowed outside) don't kill prey for food. They do it for pleasure/instinct.

My neighbor has an outdoor cat. This cat kills at least one bird a day according to their kids (the cat brings the corpse to their porch). So I think you're tremendously mistaken about "not at any great rate." Housecats are

Not sure how you're coming to your conclusion about DEI being responsible for "non-intimacy and non-engagement." If you can't make friends at work without being "nailed for insubordination, loafing or sexual harassm

It's not just Raytheon, but all the subcontractors. Some may have gone out of business or shifted to different industries and lost the institutional knowledge of parts fabrication and assembly.

You're seriously comparing the air defense capability of Afghanistan against a near peer? I love the Tomahawk, and I think it still has some use until LRSO comes into inventory in significant numbers, but I think it's going to str

I disagree entirely with your statement "Russia has objectively outclassed the West with missile tech (and defense)." Ukraine has shown that the A2AD, "hypersonic" and cruise missile tech touted by the Russians for decad

B-21 hasn't even had it's first flight...

by greedo 3y ago
Well, considering the reports coming out about how their radar systems have been deployed lacking the necessary gear (due to widespread corruption), I think that it's possible the B-2 could still penetrate. Russia's a huge country

Sigh, you really want to die on this hill... 1. Round the clock bombing. We saw how F-117, flying the same route day after day in Serbia was shot down by an S-75 Dvina (first deployed in 1957) in optical mode. You will never see a B-2 flyin

The US hasn't supplied Ukraine with aircraft capable of flying SEAD/DEAD according to USAF or NATO doctrine. The Fulcrums launching HARM (old versions at that) are using 10-20% of the missiles capability. So no, other than one old

Russian AAMs don't do any good if they can't target an F-22 or F-35. Russian IADS doesn't do so well against cruise missiles that are stealthy, and the US has THOUSANDs of them, as well as Tomahawk. And how is Russia going to

by greedo 3y ago
So during the Balkan conflict, Serbia was able to send up fighters to challenge the NATO air fleets? Nope. They had to rely (and did an exceptional job) on their SAM systems and radars.

by greedo 3y ago
Well, to be fair the the Ukrainians, they're flying old old Flankers and Fulcrums. Compared to Su-35 etc, it's no contest. I think that the USAF will have its hands full overcoming Russia's A2AD environment, assuming it'

Your comment lacks not only paragraphs, but understanding of both US doctrine and understanding and US logistical systems. 1) Poorly trained (by highly motivated) Ukrainian soldiers are fighting successfully against the best the Russian Fed

I'm pretty sure that Germany was not selling any artillery systems to Ukraine prior to the 2022 invasion. Otherwise they wouldn't have been so reticent to supply PZH2000 and MARS.

by greedo 3y ago
Well, you just spitballed a few ideas that really aren't founded in either US or NATO doctrine, and now you ask "what's it matter though?"

by greedo 3y ago
Well... I guess they might have been Russia's best airborne units, but both at Hostomel and in other engagements, they've been shown to be overrated. Then again, Hostomel was a shitshow of poor planning/intel. I bet the VDV w

If the enemy's air defense is either DEAD or SEAD, then why would you need to insert operators/SForces via HALO? At that point you could just use helicopters to infiltrate/exfiltrate. HALO is for opponents lacking AD and rada

Yeah, short of a Tom Clancy novel, using your best operators on a one-way trip doesn't work well.

Stinger RMP-Block II which was to use the Sidewinder seeker was cancelled before any units were produced.
