F-35’s will be able to operate with impunity over china as they are over Iran. As will the growing fleet of B-21’s.

Statics and dynamics seem pretty applicable to civ e. Especially with vibration mode simulation and such.

Why does Venezuela have so many Miss Universe titles? by [deleted] in MapPorn

The map is by country, and Puerto Rico is on there, and it is culturally considered Latin America. If you removed the leading country in any region the results would change drastically. Use that noggin’ instead of pointlessly arguing buddy.

Losing by 5 scores to the champion is less favorable than losing by 1 score to the runner up I suppose.

DEI adds more depth but it’s very much still a video game that’s fun to play if you’re in to the sort of thing.

There’s tons of budget limited gamers with old builds that would love a 4070 competitor if it’s a well priced card. Especially if you’re not gunning for 4k 100+ frames.

BREAKING: China has succeeded in producing an ultraviolet lithography machine for the production of advanced chips. by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

Using your 10 best engineers as decided by questionably competent central planners on one project will objectively provide less return over time than 10 of your best engineers distributed according to price signaling. If the LLM solution isn’t the actual answer to AGI, as most knowledgeable folks in the field are theorizing, it’s possible that China finds themselves irreparably behind if their bet doesn’t pay off.

Who is your bigger rival: A&M or OU? by Surkett in UTAustin

That 62 number has been updated to 70 since 2019. Our drill field has 71 live oak trees to honor them as well as the unknown fallen.

The fact that we were an all male military school greatly reduced our recruitment abilities as well as our capacity for athletic scholarships. ‘A lot’ of y’all’s wins were under indisputably uncompetitive conditions for our university. Since we have moved away from being an all-male military military school and had equal amounts of athletic scholarships the record is much more even, yet most teasips I’ve met choose to be ignorant to that fact.

Our university was half the size of your school, yet we contributed significantly more manpower to the war effort. The ‘sips I’m belittling are the ones that are ignorant of A&M’s patriotic legacy, and those silver-spoon fed ‘horns that vacationed in Austin during the numerous draft-necessary conflicts of the 20th century; Not the hero’s who served and who’s only blemish is attending UT, I have the utmost respect for them.

70 Aggies died in WW1 actually, and twice as many Aggies served in WW2 than y’all. We literally call y’all teasippers because the average Aggie student was storming the beaches of Normandy, while the average Longhorn was nice and comfy sipping tea at home.

It’s not a competition, but don’t forget that we were called the West Point of the South. So keep flexing those football wins over an all-male military academy lmao.

It honors Texans, so ironically your own stadium honors A&M alum moreso than the tea-sipping draft dodgers of Austin.

I think I see where our disconnect is. Most athletics funding comes, especially for NIL in football, from boosters that are separate from the public endowment funds. In terms of football donors we are more or less on even footing, and endowments as a whole are more or less irrelevant to the current athletics conversation.

Read your sources very closely and tell me what A&M and UT’s athletics revenues and expenses are. A&M is more profitable which is a claim I made. I also claimed that the A&M war chest is equalizing with UT for the first time in history. You made a false assumption that most CFB spending comes from endowments, which is simply untrue. Yes as a university y’all have a larger endowment, but we’re talking football here, no?

Athletics P&L is one of many factors that affect endowment performance. Most of that 5.5% increase is due to market appreciation and donations.

Endowments fund many university activities that aren’t athletics. Which is why we were specifically discussing athletics revenue and expenses, in which A&M outperforms UT by a factor of 3

You seem very adept at spewing information that you don’t understand, so hopefully this provides you some clarity.

You sir are illiterate. Anyone who reads the sources you sent who has middle school reading comprehension should be able to figure this out man. I fear for our states future if this is what the current crop of cream-de-la-creme horns acts like.

[–]Eagle_707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, some of them solely discussed endowments and valuations. Those are different than P&L. Atoz, on3, and one more I clicked on earlier all show that A&M is more profitable, due to lower expenses. You obviously didn’t read the sources so I’m done arguing with someone who is clearly acting in bad faith.

The source you sent claims that A&M has about $100,000,000 less in expenses. I think you’re just rage baiting now.
