It is worth noting that the US operates a number of F-35s out of Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The weather conditions are comparable to the sub-arctic areas of Scandinavia. Heck they were figuring out how to operate in Thule this month.

Finland's selection of the F-35 added data to a growing feeling of mine that the F-35 is a software and production problem reaching maturity. I look at Finland as a country that takes defense seriously and expects to fight hard with ex

You don’t need to wait. I run a group with a schedule specifically designed for parents of young children. (virtual, short sessions, immediately after bedtime). There are others!

Some of finance is valuable, it creates the opportunity to transform money over time. This isn’t finance, just a rent seeking guppy casually trying to move the Overton window on 20,000 families.

They say GTM and it sounds like mid-market/enterprise sales. Scaling these teams requires a lot of support staff and if they’re ineffective things go sideways fast.

I would love to see SMRs deployed at older coal fuel power plant sites to replace baseload power these facilities offer. These locations are already connected to their respective grids and are environmentally degraded.

I don’t understand why you perceive being struck by the effects of a nuclear warhead launched by a hostile power as suicide.

I call it a scare-theory because there is meaningful debate about it and its main point, famine is already achieved by things that we know will occur. In a no BS nuclear exchange the hydrocarbons industry will cease to exist. This means n

My dude, if you are among the lucky few who survive the initial filter of starvation, disease and mass violence following a nuclear conflict I wish you the best leading your band of raiders across the Great Plains or Central Valley feasting

This was a reference to energy system subsidies, not financial. Diesel for combines or natural gas for fertilizer.

I mean, depending on the scale of the conflict and explosion, nuke generally does equal dead. The variable is just how proximate to the explosion your death is going to be.

Overpressure is no joke. That said the conclusions of the study encourage me to stand in front of a concrete wall as soon as I am aware of incoming ICBMs. My sincere hope for my family and I in a mid-grade to all-out nuclear exchange is tha

KJFK has a system like this that uses a blend of radar and transponder multilateration to automatically signal to aircraft that they are about to enter an active runway. The pilot either did not see (for human or technical factors) or disre

Rejected takeoffs and clear air turbulence are why I never do infant-in-arms.

We do but not to the extent that laypeople would think rational. Taxi instructions are verbal affairs. Hugely problematic in very busy airports. I will say that I am not sure how much automation would have helped. It does appear that this p

Sample limited to my experience. A highly customized job title is a leading indicator of incompetence or a personality that’s going to be challenging to work with.

I am an Old School Essentials ref and I use Owlbear + Discord for everything. Works very well. I respect Foundry but it's too heavy for my needs.

A little banal since the tech is not new. Forward-deployed low-yield nuclear weapons are a little easier to use than their large strategic cousins. NATO and ex. Warsaw Pact deploying low-yield, low-time-to-target land based cruise missiles
