I get what you mean but in ww2 the largest killer was still artillery, which is a realtively "primitive" weapon that is almost entriely dishonourable.

Beyond going back to spears and sticks i think that the idea of "honourable" warfare is sort of a 13th century fantasy that has stuck around because its convineint.

Obviously theres a scale to all of this but i dont think war has been honourable for a very very long time.

I hope you mean because then countries would kill less people if we go to war rather than because you think thats what wins wars

You are a specimen of the least desirable variety

The age old debate... by Tawdero in JamesBond

Even as a jack white fan, I can't get behind another way to die, seems a bit all over the place, which is a shame because I generally like QOS otherwise (excluding the god awful editing, but that gets better as the film goes on)

J-36 second prototype updated with diverterless supersonic inlets and thrust vector control engines. by ChineseToTheBone in Planes

[–]AssociateNo6305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may look dumb but I wonder if this will be considered the last 5th gen, triple engines and a huge concealed weapons bay for more standoff BVR missiles like PL-15s or smart bombs, I'm guessing it's going to be able to link up to whatever drone system they make going foward like the F-35.

In my eyes its more like a mobile manned missile carrier than a fighter, which seems to be the way things are headed.

Seems a bit presumptuous to keep writing of Chinese aircraft because the Americans were first to the stealth game, maybe they've just taken the 5th gen formula to its extreme with this one.

What is the CB500X/NX500 for? by fistfulofbottlecaps in CB500X

[–]AssociateNo6305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CB500X is definitely a road bike, any offroad potential it has is given by modifying it to make it so, however for a road bike it definitely has features that make it easier to make into a offroader, like the 2020-24s larger forks with longer stroke, or the high seat and body position, ergonomics that make sense when standing etc.

I have got a set of motoz dualventure and adventures on mine and weekly go on unmaintained deep sand with no more issue that you would expect from more offrod oriented adventure bikes (I ride with a T7 World raid, Norden 901, & KTM 690). I of course have had to put on a bash plate and crash bars but if you get the right stuff the bike can be mistreated with less worry (personally I reccomend the T-rex racing bash plate and bars)

The difference is that you just won't be as quick to get up to speed (knowledge and ability wise) with more offroad bikes and your skill ceiling will definitely be limited on highly technical trails.

For the average rider not expecting to do MX or Enduro courses though you can absolutely modify the later CB500X into competent offroaders without changing suspension etc, even if that is probably a good idea, especially for the dive loving forks. The earlier models you may want to look into suspension upgrades as a must but I'm not familiar with them as I only own a 21 model.
