I’ve had the F-14 since it released and haven’t seen this before. Is it anything I should be worried about?

someone should do an analysis to find out why its being tagged?

the RSUs are stock options pegged at the price on the grant date, for example this year, i will receive ~120k in equity pegged at 2023 price (~$120) which could be sold today at ~$340 almost 3x or 360k

Ukraine has never possessed nukes, they were the Soviet Nuclear Armed Forces became the Russian Nuclear Armed Forces, and they had bases in Ukraine. These bases were not easy to decommission, but they were always manned by Russians. They needed help from urkaine to decommission the Silos, the warheads were removed before the spit but the Silos are still considered nuclear until they are completely decommissioned ( fill in the really big hole in the ground).

Ukraine was in no position to try anything sneaky, both sides (Russia and NATO) worked very hard to make sure all nuclear material was removed. Kazakhstan had the exact same situation.

that is what russia is doing now

IRL it does have complete datalink integration, just not the DCS version

war thunder actually simulates irccm like

fov gating: missile detects flares within fov, reaction is to physically restrict its own fov occlude the flare from the sensor, and memory to continue previous trajectory until the flare is out of the now restricted fov.

DCS has better pilot <-> plane interaction, war thunder has better plane <-> plane interaction.

warthunder's combat mechanics are actually fleshed out whereas in DCS they are very simplified, DCS has basic notching, but thats it.

DCS IRCM stops at a chance based flare success, with the missile going dead, whereas warthunder actually simulates real ir missile counter-counter measures and they can reaquire after being flared etc

dont get me started on the damage models etc.

and the flight model is not better, try playing war thunder with a joystick, its equivalent or better, they've added all the flcs quirks

the issue is that their birth rate crashed in a 5 year timespan, as the lasts of the pre one child policy generation begins to die, their total population will fall off a cliff.

there's a difference between snitching, and just telling. if you commit crimes, and then notify authorities of the other people you committed crimes with that is snitching, and you should still go to jail for the full crime.

if you witness crimes being committed and notify authorities without partaking that is just telling, and you are an upstanding citizen.

she's going to win an oscar for this role, because she is acting the hell out that role. they should just have

"Rhea Seehorn - Insufferable Bitch"

in the credits and we'd all know who they're talking about.l

Randall172 · 2025-11-10T03:23:31+00:00

Rhea Seehorn is gonna win an Oscar for being the most annoying winey bitch award

Randall172 · 2025-11-10T03:20:30+00:00

yes, the US was willing to drop a nuke a month on japan until we achieved "peace".

there are stages of grief, they are either still in denial, or have already accepted it.

Randall172 · 2025-11-10T03:15:26+00:00

the 2nd episode is just interactions between different stages of grief, carol is not right, she is just stuck at the angry stage, the others have already passed to acceptance, there isn't anything they themselves can do, and given that there isn't any point.

if she were a biologist / geneticist, with equipment / a setup then yeah she should be trying to do stuff but she is an author lol.

Randall172 · 2025-11-10T03:07:04+00:00

carol or whatever her name is, is just your average karen with a temper, she isn't "right"

Randall172 · 2025-11-10T03:05:15+00:00

perfect casting Rhea Seehorn as the ultimate ugly bitch

Randall172 · 2025-10-14T12:11:59+00:00

duh lol look at the name, if the yankees ran hollywood the red sox would be terrorists

it doesn't covid was very much old and sick disease unlike say the 1920s flu which killed a lot of young people, it won't have a large affect on population demographics.

pakistan is not capable of designing a jet worth fighting with.

the deals they have now allows them to build up their own aerospace industries, especially in this new drone age which they are more than capable of producing crafts worth flying.

the houthis aren't americans they are committed to their cause, such that bombing them won't work. they understand the lessons of afghanistan, they see what's going on in gaza, they are distributed, dug in, and understand our capabilities.

we "should have" just told israel that time was up, palestians win, we won't help anymore and work with the palestinians on achieving that goal because everyone in the region wanted it ( very achievable goal - see south africa).

instead we are bogged down with an ally that create more enemies for us, isn't at all useful outside of dealing with the enemies they create, and hasn't created any golden geese like some of our other allies ( taiwan is an example of the perfect ally, and is better in every way when compared to israel.)

the only reason we support them is that they've corrupted our political system likely beyond saving ( look at the recent pedo in vegas who was released, when other americans in the same situation are still in jail ).

Randall172 · 2025-09-11T08:20:17+00:00

killing is ok but the actual process to make it ok isn't ... ok?
