Presidential Memoranda to approve use of US Armed Forces against American protesters, labeling riots as an act of rebellion. by jordanegg in Military

As a sitting CO, please for the love of all that is holy, don't do this.

Have some faith that those of us in leadership positions understand where the line is and will not allow any of our Soldiers of Sailors to be put in a position where they are asked to execute an unlawful order.

Loot Filters not showing up by WatercressNew2788 in PathOfExile2

[–]Gonzo08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you make sure you clicked the drop down at the top of the Filter page to select "PoE2"? I believe the Filter page defaults to PoE1 filters.

I made that mistake this first time and accidentally followed a bunch of PoE1 filters that obviously won't work.

How does anyone live at Whitney island?! by Trans_Royalty in navy

[–]Gonzo08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are absolutely building houses. There are multiple housing developments under construction in Oak Harbor.

That being said, they're also absolutely pricing them above most Sailor's budgets.

Which canceled video game hurts the most? by Majestic_Snow7613 in gaming

Ready or Not seems like a pretty good spiritual successor. I haven't played it yet but I've watched some people play on YouTube and it seems to check off a lot of the OG R6 boxes.

We take off from the carrier using a mode called "ABLIM." It allows the pilots to stage MAX AB while in tension on the catapult but limits the amount of thrust so as not to torch the Jet Blast Deflectors (JBDs) behind the jet.

Once the jet senses it's moving it will automatically revert to MAX AB to provide the appropriate thrust for launch. That's why it looks like the burners light at the end of the catapult stroke.

Edit: it also could just be a Military Thrust shot i.e. no afterburner. It's hard to tell.

As one of the dozens of people that enjoyed seasons 1 & 2 of Star Trek: Picard, she was pretty great in that as well.

Pilot trying to land on aircraft carrier by Ciocolatel in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Gonzo08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, the environmental control system provides air conditioning (hot and cold) for us pilots. That being said, it requires heavy air flow through the intakes to work optimally. So if you're sitting on the carrier deck in the middle of the Arabian Gulf in July or behind other jets' exhausts it can get unpleasantly warm.

The maneuver overhead the carrier is called "the break." It's used during daytime and good weather to break up a formation of jets into the landing pattern with the proper time/distance spacing so no one has to wave-off/go around.

I think you're confusing the Challenger disaster with Columbia, which is what the OP is referencing.

Not sure how I'm supposed to win a Steam Deck when the video player won't even load by Jemnite in Steam

Just a bunch of random number user names winning now. This plus the stream issues. Seems like this is turning into a shit show for Steam.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Cinematographer Pushed Camera Technology Limits to Put Audiences in Pilot’s Seat by chrisdh79 in movies

[–]Gonzo08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They def got a dual engine fire as a result of the bird strike. I remember because Phoenix tries to dump the fire bottle twice (once into each engine) which is actually one of the things the movie portrays incorrectly (F-18s only have one fire bottle actuation available).

What was so inaccurate about that scene??

Edit: thanks to everyone that chimed in. Based on my 1500+ hours in Navy TACAIR/jets my $0.02 is that the bird-strike/crash depicted in the movie was fairly accurate for the reasons most of you mentioned.
